"I wonder why Mr. Futai summoned the common people?" Wang Changsheng seemed to be inspired when he saw Mu Qianyu's smile, thinking that today might not be a big deal.
He went back and told Governor Li about Mu Qianyu's many mistakes, but Governor Li kicked him out angrily. He could see that the brother-in-law was very angry and would definitely find an opportunity to attack Mu Qianyu in the future.
However, he didn't expect that before his brother-in-law could take action, he would fall into her hands again. He hoped that being more obedient this time would save him from a beating.
"Of course you personally killed Xiang Ping, the master of the Xiang family. Last time there was no evidence, but this time the evidence is conclusive." Mu Qianyu said, raising his voice a little more: "Come here, go to the court."
Wang Changsheng was stunned because he didn't expect Mu Qianyu to actually know that he killed the person. How could he possibly find out after so long.
When they heard that the case was going to be put to public trial, the people once again surrounded the yamen gate with water. They were also very surprised, didn't Mr. Futai let him go before?
Doesn't letting him go count as bowing to the governor?
Sure enough, they saw Mu Qianyu sitting upright and compared the fingerprints on the dagger with Wang Changsheng's fingerprints. They found that they were a perfect match.
Although people don't understand the concept of fingerprints, it still sounds very reasonable.
Not to mention Wang Changsheng, even Xiang Ziyou, the sufferer, was a little confused. How could he still find evidence like this?
Mu Qianyu looked at the commotion inside and outside the hall, slapped the hall hard and said, "Wang Changsheng, what else do you have to say?"
"I...I..." No matter how stupid Wang Changsheng is, he knows that his life will be gone if he is convicted of this crime, so he is not afraid of being beaten and immediately said loudly:
"The common people are unjustly accused. Mr. Futai, your evidence is not trustworthy. The common people will definitely file a lawsuit."
"We have no chance to sue you, Wang Changsheng. The evidence of your killing people, bullying and dominating the market, and doing business maliciously is conclusive. We will immediately put you in jail and all your property will be confiscated."
Mu Qianyu threw out an account book provided by Xiang Ziyou, and the sentence was swift and resolute. He slapped the crowd again and said: "Come here, take him down."
The yamen officer dragged the man down, but Wang Changsheng was still shouting during the process: "Mu Qianyu, you have wronged a good person. I will never let you go, and my brother-in-law will never let you go."
The common people stood there in shock, still a little disbelieving about this scene. Although in the past half month, the image of Mu Qianyu who was honest and honest for the people has been deeply ingrained in their minds.
However, she never expected that this lady from the Futai would be so selfless as to risk her own future. Wang Changsheng's identity was well known to everyone, and her move was undoubtedly a slap in the governor's face.
As far as they knew, the governor was not an honest and good official. He had used Wang Changsheng to make money in Anping Mansion for several years. Even for the sake of his own wealth, it was impossible not to protect Wang Changsheng.
They looked at Mu Qianyu, who had a fair look on her face, and now besides their respect for her, they felt more worried.
I have been waiting for so many years for a master of the government who can make decisions for the people. I think he will soon be beaten, and the case may even be overturned.
"Quit." Mu Qianyu patted the gavel one last time and walked towards the backyard calmly.
At this moment, Wang Changsheng was in her hands, and she had a plan to deal with whatever happened to Governor Li.
After that, Zhao Bing and Lu Jian took people to all the properties and houses of the Wang family at the same time. They seized and inventoried the properties with lightning speed.
Mu Qianyu directly took the storage ring from Wang Changsheng's hand and personally counted the contents.
Then she found a huge spiritual stone card, which actually contained three million mid-grade spiritual stones, and some small ones, which added up to about five million.
Not to mention the treasures stored in it, such a small storage ring is more valuable than her entire Anping Mansion.
Of course, what she is ultimately looking for is an account book, which is the account book that Wang Changsheng shared with the governor over the years.
However, he didn't find it in the storage ring. It seems that Wang Changsheng didn't carry it with him.
Her series of actions can be said to be very fast, so that the dust would have settled by the time the governor got the news.
Because Wang Changsheng's property was so large that it was difficult to complete the inventory in a short while, so she also asked Mo Feng to send people outside the city to kidnap the people who came to inform them.
Just as she planned, the governor received no news for two days.
When Governor Li learned about it on the third day, he was immediately furious. He slapped the table and said, "Come here, bring Mu Qianyu to me!"
He couldn't take action directly because the traces left behind would be too obvious. At this point, he could only pressure Mu Qianyu to end this farce.
In his opinion, this was a farce, because no matter how capable Mu Qianyu was, he was only a small prefect, and it was impossible to overthrow a feudal official like him.
Don't talk about him, even if you try to touch one of his dogs, you won't be able to succeed.
When Mu Qianyu got the news, Wang Changsheng's property had not yet been inspected, but she had a cordial and friendly conversation with Wang Changsheng in prison.
"Ahhh..." Wang Changsheng was bruised all over by the whip, but he still gritted his teeth and said: "The common people don't know what the master is talking about."
Mu Qianyu sat directly in front of him, slowly sipping tea: "It doesn't matter if you don't know. Think about it slowly. I sent the book to the Criminal Department of Kyoto yesterday. It will take a month to go back and forth. We have something."
It’s time to have a good chat.”
"Mu Qianyu, you are abusing lynching. My brother-in-law will not let you go if he finds out." Seeing that begging for mercy was in vain, Wang Changsheng responded angrily.
Mu Qianyu gently put the teacup aside, "It's already the third day of this incident. If your brother-in-law could have come, he would have come a long time ago. Do you think the laws of the imperial court can only restrain those who abide by the rules?"
"I won't say it anyway. If you can, beat me to death. As long as you let me out, I will make you look good." Wang Changsheng said cruel words in a playful manner.
Mu Qianyu smiled slowly at him and said, "I let you go last time because I wanted you to let your guard down and catch you off guard. Otherwise, do you really think you can get out after entering my place?"
"You... are cunning..." Wang Changsheng said angrily: "A bastard woman like you deserves to be ignored."
"Then you really guessed wrong." Mu Qianyu laughed, turned around and ordered the officer: "Hit him, until he says so."
"Yes." The yamen servant responded. They never thought that one day they would be able to whip the bully in front of them like this. They beat the bully very hard without any orders.
Mu Qianyu walked out of the cell, stretched a bit, and then asked Master Qian who came to report the news: "You want me to go right now?"
"Yes, the government officials who came here have a very tough attitude. If you don't go, I'm afraid you will fall into trouble." Master Qian said with a worried look.
