"Since it was all done by you, why let my son take the blame? Where is your conscience? Doesn't he feel wronged?" Zhao Dagen asked loudly.

Yu Daqi didn't say anything, just lowered his head in agreement.

"If you have a conscience, you wouldn't frame someone and then run away. Tell me, what else? How did you do it?" Zhao Guocheng looked at Yu Daqi.

Wang Ronghua and Zhao Shiying hid in the back corner, where the people inside could not see them. The main reason was that Wang Ronghua also wanted to know what was going on. This way, no one would notice their presence, and they could still hear clearly what they said.

Yu Daqi knew he couldn't hide it, so he told the whole story from beginning to end.

Now everyone finally understood.

It turns out that all these plans were the idea of ​​Master Sun.

No wonder there are so many aides under his command, all of whom work specifically for Master Sun. The key point is that the county magistrate is still unaware of it.

After getting a lot of information from Yu Daqi, Zhao Guocheng and Azhi began to take action.

Two days later, there was no movement from Master Sun.

So Zhao Dagen beat the drum to appeal for justice and sued Master Sun.

This case alarmed the people in the county.

Before Zhao Dagen went to beat the drum, he walked and shouted that his third son was imprisoned unjustly. He cried and talked all the way. When he arrived at the gate of the county government office, many people had already gathered there. They all followed Zhao Dagen to the gate of the county government office.

Watching Zhao Dagen beating the drum to appeal for justice.

Soon the county magistrate came to the court.

'mighty!'

"Who is here in the hall, and why are you beating the drum to complain?" The county magistrate turned out to be a man who looked less than fifty years old, only slightly older than Lawyer Sun, slightly plump and well-maintained.

"I am Zhao Dagen from Guxian Village, Baima Town. My third son, Zhao Guochang, was accused of embezzling 30,000 taels of silver and was imprisoned in jail. He was framed." Zhao Dagen said sadly.

"Words are not enough. Why don't you tell me how he was framed? Are there any witnesses or physical evidence?" The county magistrate slammed the gavel, and Zhao Dagen trembled with fear.

In his entire life, this was the first time he met the county magistrate, and also the first time he went to the government office.

"I have witnesses, and I will continue to sue Master Sun. It was he who embezzled the 30,000 taels of silver and put the blame on my son, Zhao Guochang. My son is innocent." After Zhao Dagen finished speaking, the county magistrate slammed the gavel again.

"Show us the evidence. Words are not enough." Master Sun frowned and looked at Zhao Dagen, pretending to be calm.

Then he turned to the county magistrate and said, "Sir, I am wronged. I absolutely did not do such a thing."

"Well, let's see what they say first." The county magistrate frowned. Although he seemed to believe Master Sun on the surface, he already had doubts in his heart.

“Bring witnesses!”

After the bailiff finished singing, Yu Daqi was brought up.

Master Sun was shocked to see Yu Daqi. Didn't he leave? Why did he come back?

Do they really have any evidence?

Master Sun was also panicking, but the anxious look on his face could not deceive anyone.

At this time, the county magistrate happened to look over and saw the expression on Master Sun's face, which made him even more confused and speculative.

After Zhao Dagen briefly explained the situation, it was time for Yu Daqi to give his testimony.

Yu Daqi didn't dare to hide anything. If he told the truth now, he would die. If he didn't tell the truth, he would die even more. So it was better for him to tell the truth.

Anyway, he was not the only one who committed the crime, so he had someone to take the blame for his death, and he died for what he deserved.

If he didn't tell, his whole family would be controlled, and his parents, wife and children would be implicated. After thinking it over, Yu Daqi told out everything he knew.

Master Sun was furious.

"Asshole, when did I ever ask you to falsify the accounts? Stop slandering me," said Mr. Sun.

At this time, Zhao Dagen said again: "Mr. County Magistrate, I have evidence to prove that what Yu Daqi said is true."

"Oh, tell me?" The county magistrate looked at Master Sun seriously, and then asked Zhao Dagen to speak.

"Master Sun has had the intention to embezzle money for a long time, and he has done it. This money was not embezzled in one or two days. Instead, he would embezzle whenever he had the chance during his long tenure in office. As for where the money went, you should ask Master Sun's mistress in Qingyu Lane, Huaxi Street. Master Sun bought a house there for his mistress to live in, and there are also those falsified account books." Zhao Dagen thought about what Zhao Guocheng had told him before and said it out loud.

"What? A mistress?" The county magistrate looked at Master Sun in shock.

If this is true, then Master Sun must have embezzled money, otherwise how could he have afforded such a nice house.

You should know that the houses in Qingyu Lane are all inhabited by wealthy people, and the houses there are very expensive.

They all had servants to serve them, so it turned out that Master Sun was keeping a mistress outside without telling his wife.

This news completely shattered the county magistrate's three views.

The two had been together for so many years, but he didn't even know this side of Master Sun.

"Sir, I am innocent. This villain is talking nonsense and slandering me without any evidence." Master Sun was very anxious.

This is not a joke.

And now he was sure that it was the Zhao family who threatened him before.

"Hmph~ You know whether you know it or not, Zhao Dagen. Do you have any evidence? Present it to us." The county magistrate already believed Zhao Dagen a little, especially after knowing what Master Sun had been doing recently.

I felt strange when I saw Master Sun’s expression just now.

He actually dared to embezzle money from the county government. He is really bold.

If he hadn't been corrupt, he wouldn't have been able to afford the house in Qingyu Lane.

"Come here, send someone to check if the house in Qingyu Lane was bought by Mr. Sun." As soon as the county magistrate finished speaking, two yamen runners went out.

Zhao Dagen also said that the account books in the yamen were recorded by Yu Daqi and several aides under Master Sun, and had nothing to do with Zhao Guochang.

This is clearly a frame-up.

The county magistrate was really displeased this time.

Behind the scenes?

Master Sun has a secret agent under his tutelage? More than one?

"Investigate, check it immediately!" As soon as the county magistrate said this, Li Putou took his men away.

In just two quarters of an hour, the accounts were brought to the yamen, and the other three secretaries were also brought in.

Captain Li was also considerate enough to present all the accounts with names written on them. There was indeed no Zhao Guochang's name on them, which showed that these accounts had nothing to do with Zhao Guochang at all.

Yu Daqi is right.

At this time, the two yamen runners brought back women and children.

"Sir, this is the woman and child. I heard they are Master Sun's mistress and illegitimate son?" a bailiff said in a low voice.

After saying that, he quickly shut up.

Let the woman speak for herself.

"Sun Lang, what's going on? Why did they capture me and Tian'er?" Yu Meir looked at Master Sun with a pitiful face.
