Lin Chu looked at him indifferently, as if looking at a dead thing: "Did Mr. Xiao not hear me? Or... didn't dare to speak?"
Her voice suddenly dropped, as if she was carrying a sword wrapped in ice, making people shiver violently.
"Since Mr. Xiao doesn't dare to speak, let me say it. If there is anything not thoughtful, you can make up for it later."
Her long, plain white fingers flashed under the light, and the cover of the azure account book was slowly opened.
"In the spring of the twelfth year of Qianyuan, the Rugui Inn in Kuizhou went out of business and was resold. Half a month later, the first Huatai Bank appeared in Kuizhou Prefecture. In just a few months, Huatai Bank expanded and took over the entire Yong'an Street."
Xiao Tianchi pursed his lips tightly, his face as pale as paper. His nails were deeply embedded in his palms, and he felt no pain.
"Xiao Tianchi, the shopkeeper of Huatai Bank at that time, donated a huge sum of money to renovate Yong'an Street. Since then, Yong'an Street has been renamed Huatai Street. Shopkeeper Xiao managed the business well. After several years of operation, he became the richest man in Kuizhou Prefecture."
There was sarcasm in Lin Chu's eyes: "The past I mentioned is recorded in the Kuizhou government system. I think it is familiar to everyone present."
"The account books are blank because some people's sins are too numerous to record!"
The crowd's eyes were unstoppable and they glanced at Xiao Tianchi, but quickly retracted them. There was a turbulent wave in everyone's eyes.
Could it be that what was performed on the stage just now was the history of Mr. Xiao’s fortune?
real or fake?
"Don't you dare to spit on others!"
Xiao Tianchi stood up hastily, the fat on his cheeks trembled, and then trembled again. His fat face was instantly as red as blood, and his whole body was trembling with energy.
"What's true can't be faked, and what's fake can't be true. Why is Mr. Xiao so anxious?"
Lin Chu curled his lips and closed the account book calmly: "While Rugui Inn was closed, a strange case happened in Wuzhou Mansion. I wonder if Governor Wu still remembers it?"
Wu Yuanbin pursed his lips and remained silent. He didn't know what Lin Chu had planned, but he knew that ever since this man appeared, Kuizhou Mansion had been in an earth-shaking disaster!
Lin Chu spoke slowly: "After the Dragon Boat Festival in the twelfth year of Qianyuan, a couple named Xiao Xing went to Kuizhou Mansion to file a complaint, saying that their brother and sister-in-law's family had disappeared for no reason."
"However, on the day when the government office was held, the couple went crazy and lost control for no reason, biting each other to death."
"It is said that the situation that day was so miserable and terrifying that they could stop crying at night. When they did an autopsy, they could not find the cause of their madness, so they were hastily buried, and the case was hastily closed."
Lin Chu's eyes flashed: "The couple named Xiao are from Deng County. As far as I know, Deng County is the ancestral home of Mr. Xiao, and the crazy couple happens to be your biological brother and sister-in-law."
Xiao Tianchi's expression froze: "So what? I'm not an orphan. It's weird to have relatives?"
"It's not surprising." Lin Chu said with a sneer: "But the couple went to the government office, left Rugui Inn, and met you. Why did they suddenly insist in court that you were missing?
?”
Xiao Tianchi sighed: "It was just a few quarrels over money. Who would have thought that they were so resentful that they actually came up with such a way to slander me!"
His gaze suddenly became sharp: "I just contradicted you a few words for the sake of justice for the merchants in Kuizhou, and you dug up these old trivial matters to try to wrong me. Lin Chu, how do you deserve to be the parent official of my Kuizhou Mansion?"
"Master Taishou." He knelt down and kowtowed, "You have to make the decision for the villain! It doesn't matter if the villain is wronged. If Lin Chu is allowed to act arrogantly again, our Kuizhou will be in chaos!"
