rebirth first official

In a blink of an eye, it will be the last afternoon of Gao Zhanming's vacation at home.After today is over, tomorrow he will go back to Zongxue to continue his studies.

Throughout the morning, people kept entering Gao's mansion through the back door, came to Gao Zhanming's room, and then left quietly.Gao Zhanming is planning the last step in three days.The last move that can bring Tang Gan down.

Not a moment later, Tang Qian finally came.He was empty-handed, and he didn't bring any ledgers. As soon as he entered the mansion, he rushed to Tang Xue's yard.Gao Zhanming had already made preparations. As soon as he heard that Tang Qian was entering the mansion, he immediately arranged for his servants to make arrangements, and he waited leisurely in Tang Xue's room for Tang Qian's arrival.

As soon as Tang Gan entered the door, he said anxiously: "Sister, tomorrow, something happened."

Gao Zhanming knew why he came, so he took his time.Tang Xue thought that something happened to the business at home, so she stood up from her chair and said anxiously, "What's the matter?!"

Tang Gandao: "One of my nephews was detained by the Ministry of Punishment yesterday. I went to redeem him with money in the morning, but they didn't let him go."

Tang Xue was relieved when she heard that it had nothing to do with her business. She sat back on her chair and said, "How big of a deal is it worth making such a fuss about?"

Gao Zhanming pretended to be ignorant and said, "Oh? Why was he arrested?"

Tang Qiandao: "My silly sister, why is it not a big deal? You still don't understand! My nephew is named Jiang Jian. He was drinking in Baihualou yesterday, and he heard people talking about the Gao family at the other table. At any rate, he was related to the Gao family, so out of curiosity, he went to listen to the conversation of those people. Unexpectedly, the people at that table insulted Ming'er and Yuan Qing, which meant that the Gao family had lost face. Jiang Jian naturally I couldn't hear it, so I reasoned with those people, but I didn't expect that those people would attack and hurt people, smashing many tables and chairs in Baihualou, and the Criminal Department arrested them and Jian'er together."

Tang Xue frowned: "Is there such a thing?!"

Tang Qiandao: "Yes! It was originally those people who deliberately provoked troubles. They injured Jian'er and ruined the business of Baihualou, but the people from the Criminal Department released them early this morning, but detained Jian'er. This matter was originally a trivial matter, and it should be released after some mediation. Although Jian'er was wronged, I still wanted to calm the matter down. If it made things worse, it would not be of any benefit to us. I brought the money I went to redeem someone, but the people from the Ministry of Punishment insulted me and kicked me out, saying that I was obstructing justice by relying on my status as a relative of the Gao family, and threatened to arrest me as well. God knows, your mother and son have worked so hard for the Gao family What's the benefit of occupying the Gao family for so many years? Once Yuan Qing dies, that kind of bully dog ​​will dare to ride on your heads!"

Tang Xue's eyes widened in shock: "There is such a thing?!"

Gao Zhanming frowned and shook his head again and again.Tang Qian kept reminding Tang Xue and Gao Zhanming that they were orphans and widows abandoned by the Gao family, and they were poor people who could be bullied by everyone.Perhaps the former Gao Zhanming would develop such a temperament, perhaps Tang Xue would be so weak and fearful, this good uncle and brother can take a lot of credit!

Before Tang Gan could speak again, Gao Zhanming said, "Uncle, have you met Jiang Jian at the Ministry of Punishment?"

Tang Qiandao: "They locked up Jian'er and didn't even let me see him face to face. Those bullying bastards, watching our family lose power, actually..."

Gao Zhanming interrupted: "Since you haven't met Jiang Jian, how do you know why he clashed with others? People from the Ministry of Punishment will never tell you those things."

Tang Gan was startled, knowing that he had slipped his words, and immediately fell silent.Tang Xue also looked at Tang Qian in puzzlement.

Tang Qian bit the bullet and said: "I also heard from others, someone saw them arguing."

Gao Zhanming said: "Then why did the people from the Ministry of Punishment let the troublemaker go, but instead detain my uncle's nephew? They did not agree with reason or law. They should come up with a reasonable Is it an excuse?"

Tang Gan's face was very ugly: "They said... they said that Jian'er threatened the court and ordered officials to obstruct justice. Jian'er is not that kind of person, it is nothing more than those dog slaves who saw that our family has lost power and took the opportunity to bully us. I just want to show off my prestige!"

Gao Zhanming sneered, "How can uncle be sure that Jiang Jian is not that kind of person?"

Tang Gan didn't expect Gao Zhanming to have such an attitude, and couldn't help being a little annoyed: "Jian'er is my nephew, and I have a deep relationship with him. How can I not know what he is like? He is just like you, Minger, and he is loyal and kind. The people who are here will definitely not do such a thing, they are all the dog slaves of the Ministry of punishment who turn black and white!"

Gao Zhanming leisurely took out a letter from his pocket and said, "Uncle, don't talk too much. I've also heard about Jiang Jian's matter. What he committed was not a big deal. He should have been released overnight. However, in the Criminal Department, he claimed that he was a relative of our Gao family, scolded the officials of the Criminal Department, and said that after he got out, he would definitely use our Gao family's influence to show those guys in the Criminal Department. He also wrote a letter to me in prison, clarifying his relationship with me, and asked my mother and I to use our relationship to save him from prison. If this is not an obstruction of justice, what is it?!"

Tang Gan was shocked, and snatched the letter from Gao Zhanming's hand, opened it, and his face immediately turned dark.As expected, Jiang Jian used all flattering words in the letter to establish relatives with Gao Zhanming, and asked Gao Zhanming to come forward to save him.Tang Gan scolded Jiang Jianjian in his heart for being too confused!As long as the prisoner insisted on denying the so-called threats to officials to obstruct justice, the officials would have no evidence, but Jiang Jian wrote such a letter in such a hurry. !

Tang Xuedao: "What letter? Bring it to me."

Tang Qian had no choice but to hand the letter to Tang Xue.

Gao Zhanming said coldly: "Since my uncle's good nephew also knows that my current status is embarrassing, and my uncle said that he did not use his identity as a relative of the Gao family to commit crimes, then what is his intention in giving me these letters?! How the case is decided is a matter for the Ministry of Criminal Affairs. He dragged me into the water and asked me to influence the decision of the officials of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs. As long as this letter falls into the hands of someone with a heart, wouldn’t it be said that I bullied others and ignored the king’s law?! Didn’t he trap me in injustice? "

Tang Qian's face turned red and green after Gao Zhanming robbed him of his words, and he was so ashamed that he couldn't say a word.He was originally angry at the Ministry of Punishment, so he wanted Tang Xue to come forward to ask Mr. An for a favor. As long as Mr. An is willing to come forward, is he afraid that he will not be able to express his anger?Unexpectedly, Gao Zhanming scolded him so sharply!His nephew is actually better than before!

Tang Xue was shocked after reading the contents of the letter: "This... this..."

Tang Qian rushed forward and knelt at Tang Xue's feet, and said in a miserable voice, "Sister, Jian'er was also confused for a while, he never thought of harming you!"

Gao Zhanming stepped forward, separated Tang Qian and Tang Xue, and said aggressively: "He didn't intend to harm us, what about uncle? Didn't uncle come here today to let my mother and I come forward to rescue Jiang Jian? Even uncle said we were orphans The widowed mother is being bullied, and the people in the punishment department don’t take us seriously. If we show up again, does uncle want us to bring shame on ourselves?!”

Tang Gan was dumbfounded by his scolding, but he didn't know how to quibble.

Gao Zhanming said: "Uncle is so impatient, why does he want to rescue Jiang Jian? Does Jiang Jian have any secrets about Uncle?"

Tang Gan said in surprise: "This, this! Where did this come from!"

Tang Xue was also anxious: "Ming'er, why are you talking to your uncle like this?"

Gao Zhanming said with a sneer: "People from the Ministry of Punishment searched Jiang Jian's residence, found something interesting, and sent it to me. I looked at it, and there are a few things I don't understand, so I need to ask my uncle for advice." His words were polite , but his tone made Tang Qian tremble uneasily.When did that weak nephew of his have such an aura?

Gao Zhanming clapped his hands resoundingly, and Liu Dashi pushed the door open and walked in, holding a box in his hand, and presented it in front of him respectfully.Gao Zhanming opened the box and took out a few documents from it. Tang Qian looked up, his eyes were almost out of frame, and he couldn't help but rush forward to take those documents away, but he didn't dare to act rashly, so he could only fidget and shake his body.

Gao Zhanming handed the document to Tang Xue: "Mother, these are the transfer documents of several land deeds and shops that originally belonged to our family. Please have a look."

Tang Xue glanced a few times, her face paled, and said in a trembling voice, "Ganer, what's going on?!"

In order to privately embezzle the Gao family's property, Tang Gan wanted to transfer the profitable farmland to his own name, but he could not sign the deed in his own capacity, so he picked his nephew Jiang Jian from among his relatives.Jiang Jian has nothing to do with Tang Xue, and he is also a fool. He has to rely on Tang Qian for everything. All into their own pockets.

Gao Zhanming said coldly: "Uncle, for so many years, my mother and I have always thought that you are wholeheartedly advising us, running the field business, and treating you as our great benefactor, but you actually secretly lowered our family's field business behind our backs. The price is given to your nephew, what is the reason?!"

Tang Gan said in a trembling voice: "Sister, Ming'er, listen to my explanation. Jiang Jian...his family is quite rich, and he came to Beijing with the intention of doing business. Our family's business turnover is not good, so I thought about it." , give it to him first, and we will buy those properties back when our capital turnover is opened in the future..."

Gao Zhanming patted the table: "If that's the case, why didn't you tell us!"

Tang Gan couldn't explain: "I...I...I..."

Gao Zhanming said again: "Uncle, did you bring the account books that you promised to show me yesterday?"

Tang Qian did not expect that Gao Zhanming would suddenly bring up the account book at this time, wondering: "This... After all, there are too many accounts books, and the time in a day is too tight. I haven't sorted them out yet..."

Gao Zhanming said: "One day, what's the limit? You guys already made the accounts, you just need to ship them over, it's just a blink of an eye. You need to work hard, maybe you have to make a fake Is it possible to use the bill to fool our mother and son?!"

Tang Gan was shocked: "Ming'er, how can you slander uncle like that!"

"Slander?" Gao Zhanming said: "Whether it is slander or not, we will have a conclusion in a while. I said yesterday that today is my last day. I want to find out the moths that erode our Gao family and clean it up. I will give This is your chance, since you don't send the ledger, then don't blame me for checking it myself!"

Tang Gan was overwhelmed by great anxiety: "You...you check it yourself? Do you want to..."

Gao Zhanming ordered: "Liu Da!"

Liu Da hurriedly said: "Master, here we come!" He pushed open the door, and several servants brought in several boxes of ledgers that Tang Gan sent the day before yesterday.

Gao Zhanming picked up a ledger and asked Tang Qian: "What kind of materials does Ruyi Cloth Shop manage? How much profit?"

Tang Qian gouged out Liu Da's eyes bitterly, and said bravely, "The annual income of Kexiu, woolen feathers, silk and satin is 500 taels of silver."

Gao Zhanming asked again: "What kind of porcelain does Changsheng Porcelain sell? What is the profit?"

Tang Qiandao: "Official kiln, Ge kiln, blue and white, thin tire, annual income of 600 taels of silver."

Gao Zhanming said, "How much is the rent for the fields in the southern suburbs and Guangzhai?"

Tang Gan wiped his sweat, and said in a trembling voice: "All the tenants add up, and the grain collected to cover the rent is equivalent to a yearly income of about 250 taels of silver."

Gao Zhanming then asked several Zhuangzi shops and fields, and Tang Gan answered them one by one according to the numbers in the account.

Gao Zhanming said: "Uncle, I only ask you once, is what you said just now true?"

Tang Gan was already sweating profusely, and said with a smile: "To tell the truth, of course it is the truth. Do you really regard uncle as a villain who plots against your orphans and widows' property?"

Gao Zhanming said loudly: "Liu Da, let them in!"

After a while, more than a dozen people filed in from outside and knelt down in front of Tang Xue and Gao Zhanming.These people are all the guys in the Zhuangzi's shop and the farmers in the fields.

When Tang Xue saw so many servants pouring in, she immediately turned pale, covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief and backed away.Tang Gan never expected that Gao Zhanming, as the master's son, would bring these slave peasants to his house, he was so shocked that he even forgot to stop him.

Gao Zhanming asked them one by one what he had asked Tang Gan just now.When Gao Zhanming went out to investigate secretly, these people happened to be receiving Gao Zhanming. They didn't know Gao Zhanming's identity, and they had already revealed everything to Gao Zhanming.Now that Gao Zhanming asked them face to face, how dare they lie, they all told the truth.The clerk of Changsheng Porcelain said: "There are Ru kilns, official kilns, and Ge kilns in the shop. Ru kilns are all high-quality goods, and only a few batches are produced a year. Generally, when wealthy guests come, we will exhibit the collection to the public. Look at it. Last year, the profit of the shop was about [-] silver."

Tang Gan jumped up anxiously, pointed at one person's nose and cursed: "What nonsense are you talking about! Where did you find Ru Kiln in our shop? Where did you get the 500 taels of silver? Did you swallow it?" !"

Gao Zhanming saw that Tang Gan was in a hurry, so he couldn't help laughing: "Uncle, what are you in a hurry for? Who swallowed the money and finished asking the question, don't you know? The day before yesterday I went to the street and visited a few shops. I didn't know this beforehand. The shop happens to be our family's property, and the guys in charge of the shop didn't recognize me, so they showed me all the best items in the shop. I have seen the treasures in the shop with my own eyes."

Tang Gan was stunned when he heard what Gao Zhanming said.He suddenly realized something, and his face turned gray instantly.

Tang Gan didn't dare to intervene anymore, so Gao Zhanming questioned these guys one by one, and what they answered Gao Zhanming's question was indeed very different from what Tang Gan just said!

After Gao Zhanming finished asking, he glanced at Tang Gan with sharp eyes: "Uncle, you have heard it all. The business of the shop and Zhuangzi, the income on the account books you sent is only one-third of what the clerk said! These tenants The annual income handed in is clearly 500 taels, but you underreported half of it in one go! Said it was only 250 taels?! If you are also deceived by others, as the chief shopkeeper, you can’t even calculate the accounts of any family?! What else do you want to say?"

Tang Gan knelt on the ground, and even his sophistry seemed powerless: "I... I don't know what's going on! Someone must have deliberately tried to harm me!" He walked up to Tang Xue on his knees, hugged Tang Xue's legs and said: "Sister, sister, trust me!"

For many years, Tang Xue had handed over all the outside business to Tang Gan, and she would accept everything Tang Gan said.Today, Gao Zhanming stripped Tang Qian's skin clean in front of her in one breath. Tang Xue was so shocked that she couldn't recover, she lost her mind for a while, and she didn't know who to listen to!

Gao Zhanming yelled sharply: "Uncle, you are the chief shopkeeper, you are really good!"

Before Tang Gan could explain, Gao Zhan said clearly, "Master Yang, did you hear what happened just now? Did you bring everything I asked you to bring?"

As soon as Gao Zhanming finished speaking, Wailang, a member of the Criminal Department, and several officers and soldiers of the Criminal Department came out from the back of the hall.It turned out that when Gao Zhanming was arguing with Tang Gan, he asked Liu Da to secretly lead Yang Hua, a member of the criminal department, and several officers and soldiers of the criminal department into the back hall through the side door, and listened to the whole process of his interrogation of Tang Gan.

Yang Hua, a member of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, did not expect Gao Zhanming to have such a decisive personality.Generally, if there is an accident in the house of a wealthy family, they will close the door and solve it by themselves, adhering to the idea that the family ugliness should not be publicized.But Gao Zhanming actually had the courage to punish his own uncle, and the method was so vigorous, he had already admired him so much.As soon as he raised his hand, the officers and soldiers behind him brought out several large boxes.

Yang Hua said: "Young Master Gao sued Tang Qian as the chief treasurer, but he lied to the master's family and plotted against the master's property. The criminal department has filed a case against this and assigned me to investigate the case. I took the official documents of the criminal department and ran away to the Gao family's Zhuangzi. , The account books have been confiscated."

Speaking of which, the officers and soldiers of the Ministry of Punishment lifted out several heavy wooden boxes. When the boxes were opened, they were filled with ledgers.When Tang Gan saw those boxes of ledgers, his expression completely changed.He never expected that he would cause trouble in the Ministry of Criminal Justice in the morning, but the Ministry of Criminal Justice would lead someone to copy his background.He immediately rushed towards Tang Xue like crazy: "Sister! Don't listen to their nonsense! This, this is none of my business!"

Gao Zhanming said loudly: "Master Yang, as the chief shopkeeper of the field industry, but using deception to obtain the property of the master's family, what kind of crime is this?!"

Yang Hua ordered his subordinates: "Arrest him!"

The officers and soldiers of the Ministry of Punishment had just heard with their own ears how Tang Gan scolded the people in the Ministry of Punishment as slaves. They were already so angry that they rushed to grab Tang Gan as soon as they got the order.

Yang Hua said: "Master Gao, Lingjiu's crime is the same as the crime of stealing by colleagues. The seriousness of the crime should be judged according to the amount involved. If it exceeds 500 taels, it is a capital crime."

Hearing the word capital crime, Tang Gan pushed the officers and men of the criminal department who grabbed him like crazy, and rushed towards Tang Xue, screaming: "Sister, save me! I don't know anything!"

Tang Xuewan didn't expect that first a group of slaves would come, and then a group of officers and soldiers would come. She was already so frightened that she was stuck in a chair in panic, unable to say a word.

Tang Gan was arrested by the officers and soldiers, and he was firmly pressed on the ground, unable to move.He screamed crazily, and the officers and soldiers stuffed a cloth into his mouth.He was like a shrimp in a pot, struggling and twitching in fear, but he couldn't resist.

Gao Zhanming deliberately staged these good plays in front of Tang Xue today. Apart from getting back the money that Tang Qian cheated, he also wanted to take off Tang Qian's disguise in front of Tang Xue, and give him this The confused mother cleared her mind and made her understand how harmful her actions over the past few years have been!Besides, after he overthrows Tang Qian, he will definitely take back these farms and shops. He just took this opportunity to show his prestige in front of these slaves, and see who will dare to bully him from now on!

Gao Zhanming said coldly: "Master Yang, he has been arrested, and all the witnesses and material evidence are here. Please, Master Yang, handle this case impartially and give us justice."

Yang Hua hurriedly said, "Yes, the next matter will be dealt with properly by the next officials, so as to give Mr. Gao a satisfactory result."

Gao Zhanming said: "Let's go, the prisoner has been brought to justice, there should be some things to deal with, I will go with you to the Criminal Department."

Tang Xue was tied up like a zongzi, and the officers and soldiers supported him to go out. There was no contempt or disdain in his eyes when he looked at Gao Zhanming, but complete fear.

Yang Hua and Liu Da walked out with a room full of miscellaneous people. After everyone left, Gao Zhanming walked up to Tang Xue who was still looking dull, and knelt down in front of her: "Mother, tomorrow has grown up."

Tang Xue stared blankly at Gao Zhanming: "Ming'er, you..."

Gao Zhanming said: "Tomorrow we will take back everything my father left to us mother and child. Tomorrow I will take care of my mother for the rest of my life." So, the only person you can trust is me.

Tang Xue was still stunned.

Gao Zhanming got up and walked out, Tang Xue called softly behind him: "Ming'er...he is your uncle after all, maybe he really doesn't know anything..."

Gao Zhanming paused at the door, and said ruthlessly: "This morning, tomorrow's case has been handed over to the Ministry of Criminal Justice. Now that the Ministry of Criminal Justice has filed a case, this case must be investigated to the end. I believe that the Ministry of Criminal Justice will definitely give you the right and wrong. We'll answer it together." He knew that Tang Xue would be persuaded by Tang Qian sooner or later if it dragged on, so only by making a quick decision, killing Tang Qian before he could completely eradicate him!

Tang Xue had nothing to say.

Gao Zhanming walked out of the room in high spirits.

It took him three days to take the first step of turning over.He will do better in the future.Not only for himself, but also for the former Gao Zhanming, he will do his best for both of them!
