Dressed as a little farmer's lucky treasure, God sends blessings and asks for forgiveness

Zhao Guocheng sighed and looked at Azhi.

"It's like this, my third brother was working as a counselor for my master, but unfortunately he was thrown into jail after only one month..." Zhao Guocheng briefly told what he knew.

Azhi frowned, this was going to be a difficult matter.

He can't be of much help with his abilities.

"As for the Yu Daqi family you mentioned, I can help send people to chase them and see if we can catch them. As for the corruption you mentioned, you need to give me some time. I want to figure things out and then make plans. Uncle Zhao, where are you guys staying now?" Azhi said.

"At my house, you can stay at my house. This way it will be convenient to pass on news." Yu Youcai said immediately.

Zhao Guocheng nodded, and Yu Youcai told the address.

Azhi just left.

As soon as he got back, he sent someone out to look for the person and find out what happened.

In fact, there is also Wang Yueshan in the county, but Zhao Guocheng did not think of disturbing him. After all, he is studying at Bailu Academy and cannot worry about this matter. Besides, his brother-in-law is devoted to the academy and has no idea about what is happening outside. There is nothing he can do to help, so he naturally does not want to disturb him.

The few of them stopped beating drums to complain and waited for news from Azhi.

Now all hopes rest on Azhi.

Zhao Guocheng knew that he couldn't rely on Azhi alone for this matter, so he waited for Master Sun at the gate of the county government office.

This Master Sun is only middle-aged, a few years older than Zhao Guocheng, but he is also in his forties, thin and walks hurriedly.

Zhao Guocheng suddenly appeared and blocked Master Sun's way.

"Are you Master Sun?" Zhao Guocheng looked at the person in front of him.

"Who are you?" Master Sun looked at Zhao Guocheng in confusion. He had never seen this person before.

"I am Zhao Guochang's second brother Zhao Guocheng. My third brother is your aide. Why is he in jail? He is absolutely wronged and has never committed corruption. Shouldn't you give us an explanation, master?" Zhao Guocheng's words made Master Sun frown.

"Zhao Guochang is not my aide. He is still in the probationary stage. I told him before that if he does a good job, he will be a formal aide after two months, and if he does not do a good job, he will pack up and leave. But I didn't expect that in less than a month, he would have embezzled 30,000 taels of silver. How can I use such a person? He might harm me." Master Sun frowned and explained.

In Zhao Guocheng's opinion, this lawyer was obviously shirking his responsibility.

"He has only been here for less than a month and he has embezzled 30,000 taels. Do you believe it? There must be something wrong. He was harmed by someone. Please judge for yourself, Master." Zhao Guocheng said.

"The county magistrate has his own decision on this matter, and it is not for you and me to discuss. If there is nothing else, I will leave. I have something else to do." After saying this, Mr. Sun raised his foot and left.

Even though Zhao Guocheng was chasing him and talking, he didn't intend to pay any attention.

When they returned to Yu Youcai's house, Zhao Yu came out to ask about the situation.

"Second brother, how was your investigation? Can my husband come out?" Zhao Yu's eyes were red, and it was obvious that she had just cried.

Zhao Guocheng shook his head, then went into the house and told Zhao Dagen and Yu Youcai what had happened before.

"Is it really thirty thousand taels? Third brother's wife, did the third brother take money home?" Zhao Dagen didn't believe that the third brother would embezzle money, but seeing what the second brother said, Master Sun sounded so sure, he couldn't help but become suspicious.

"Dad, no, my husband has never brought any money home, and the family expenses are all provided by the old house and my father. Together with the more than twenty taels, it is enough for us for the time being." Zhao Yu shook her head firmly and said.

"It seems that there is something wrong with this Master Sun, or is it that Master Sun has also been kept in the dark?" Yu Youcai guessed.

"Is it possible that Master Sun is an accomplice?" Zhao Guocheng frowned and said.

Everyone was stunned. Yes, this is possible.

After two days of anxiety, I finally received good news from Azhi.

"Uncle Zhao, I've found out clearly. It is said that Uncle Guochang embezzled 30,000 taels, but he has only been in office for less than a month, so it is definitely impossible. The key is that there are still people spreading these rumors. I found out that Uncle Guochang took over Yu Daqi's position to manage the account. It can be inferred that it is very likely that Yu Daqi embezzled and asked Uncle Guochang to replace his position. Then after the truth was revealed, Uncle Guochang was in trouble." Azhi said briefly.

Now Yu Youcai was furious.

"What, it turned out to be Yu Daqi? No wonder he wanted to run away with his family. I actually trusted the wrong person. What should I do?" Yu Youcai looked bitter. He didn't expect that the person he trusted the most would hurt him the most.

He had clearly given him a lot of money, but he didn't expect that he would leave such a mess to his son-in-law. It's really infuriating.

"It's all your fault. Don't you trust Yu Daqi very much? Why did he want to harm my son?" Zhao Dagen couldn't help it now. What was going on?

"My dear relatives, I didn't know it would be like this. I paid him money to introduce me to this job. Otherwise, my son-in-law wouldn't have gotten such a good job. Who would have known there was something fishy going on here?" Yu Youcai was so angry that he had wasted more than ten taels of silver.

I didn't expect Yu Daqi to be this kind of person, and he's still my relative. Let's not be relatives anymore in the future.

"Let's not talk about this now. It's useless to blame anyone. The third brother had been in office for such a long time and didn't even notice anything was wrong. In the end, he was harmed by someone. It shows that he has no vigilance at all." Zhao Guocheng gritted his teeth. He was still a juren, and he must have eaten shit.

Zhao Guocheng murmured in his heart, thinking that this scholar was not as smart or useful as his baby, and that he had eaten so much food in vain.

"There is no news about Yu Daqi yet, but don't worry, I have sent more people to look for him." Azhi nodded.

"Thank you, Azhi." Zhao Dagen was really grateful. If it weren't for Azhi, they would still be blind and have no news. Even if they got the news, they wouldn't know whether it was true or not.

"You're welcome. There's not much I can do to help." Azhi shook his head.

"Uncle Zhao, the key is who embezzled the 30,000 taels. Whether it is embezzlement or misappropriation, it is a serious crime. If we can get the internal account book, we can know when the money was embezzled. From the time, we can judge whether it was in the past month or before. In this way, we can distinguish who embezzled and clear Uncle Guochang's grievances." Ah Zhi provided an idea.

"What you said makes sense, but I suspect that the third brother was deliberately framed. It is impossible for him to embezzle so much since he was in office for such a short time. However, the lawyers all say the same thing. It is obvious that they are deliberately trying to find the third brother to take the blame and clear his name. Unless someone with power comes out to help, the government will not listen to our explanation." Zhao Guocheng analyzed.

Ah Zhi nodded: "Uncle Zhao is right. I initially suspected the same thing. They must know about it internally, but no one testified for Uncle Guochang, so Uncle Guochang will take the blame for this for the time being."
