Chapter 108 Sentencing
Hearing Master Chen's questioning, Gu Lang turned his head unhurriedly and looked at him indifferently, those light brown eyes were full of ignorant mockery of Master Chen.
Facing those emotionless eyes, what Master Chen originally wanted to say got stuck in his throat, and he couldn't say a word anymore.
Gu Lang slightly raised the corners of his lips, looked at the man in front of him, and said slowly, "Why am I so sure? Naturally, it's because the real land deed is with me."
Hearing this news suddenly, Master Chen's eyes widened suddenly. He took a few steps back, looked at Gu Lang and murmured: "Impossible, how could it be? The Gu family was so completely destroyed back then, how could there be anything left behind?" with?"
After finishing speaking, Master Chen seemed to realize that he seemed to have said something wrong, and immediately closed his mouth.
Gu Lang looked up at the man in front of him with a surprised expression, and continued calmly: "Do you want to say that our Gu family was first robbed by bandits, burned, and then broken into by refugees, even if there is something valuable? , it is impossible to stay until now?"
Master Chen didn't answer when he heard what he said, but the flickering eyes still betrayed his thoughts at the moment.
The people around began to whisper, seeming to agree with Mr. Chen's statement. Back then, the Gu family died so tragically, and all valuables were snatched away, so how could there be anything left.
However, Gu Lang didn't seem to have heard the discussions around him, he just stared at Master Chen indifferently, seeing him standing uneasy, as if he was recalling something, and said in a leisurely tone:
"That day my family was in a catastrophe, my mother took me to the backyard and heard the shouts in the front yard, knowing that they would not let her go, so she told the family where the gold, silver and land deeds were hidden. Me, let me still have the capital to rely on to survive in the future.
I survived by luck, and after a few years, although it was difficult, I came back anyway.Fortunately, although most of the places where my parents hid their things were taken away, there is still a small part left, and this title deed is part of it. "
After finishing speaking, Gu Lang slowly took out three land deeds with some defects on the edges from his pocket, which seemed to be quite old.
After seeing Gu Lang handing the land deed to the county magistrate above, the crowd made a commotion, and looked at Master Chen with a weird expression.
"I just said that the Chen family was just a small family back then, how did they become so rich all of a sudden."
"That's right, I saw their family happy to take over those stores. At that time, I was still wondering why the Chen family was so generous. It's all for nothing."
"The Chen family is really shameless. They are still in-laws with the Gu family. It's fine if they don't help, but they still make trouble like this."
Those voices were not loud, but in Mr. Chen's ears, they were like thin needles one after another, poking straight into his heart.
After the magistrate finished reading the three-point land deeds and confirmed that the three land deeds were real, he looked at the people standing below and said in a low voice: "These three land deeds are all real, Mr. Chen, you are now What else is there to say?"
Master Chen pursed his dry lips, opened his mouth, but couldn't make a sound.He doesn't know what to say now, can he still quibble, or just admit that the shop belongs to Gu Lang and his family?
Gu Lang didn't intend to let him go just yet, seeing Master Chen standing there silent, as if he didn't know what to say, and seemed to be planning what to say, so he simply opened his mouth before Master Chen.
"Originally, I planned to take this land deed to find Master Chen, and wanted to negotiate with him to see if I could get him to return the shop, so that I could get an extra income." Gu Lang said these words very calmly, as if he didn't care at all. He didn't think there was any problem, but the person next to him frowned because of his words.
"It's just that I discovered something later, and that incident gave me great anxiety, so I didn't say anything more, because it is obviously more important to live well than what my parents left me."
The amount of information revealed by Gu Lang's words was a bit huge, and he knew that he still had a big secret to tell, which directly tickled people's hearts.
Finally, someone couldn't help it anymore, and shouted loudly: "Young Master Gu, if you have something to say, just say it, the official is here, how can I decide for you!!!"
After the man finished yelling, seeing everyone around him looking towards him, he suddenly realized his recklessness, so he retracted his head again, pretending that he hadn't said anything just now.
After being yelled at by him like this, Gu Lang didn't hold back anymore, and continued: "Because I found out that the shop we are renting now is signed by Master Chen."
As soon as his words came out, the crowd who came to watch couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, and they muttered in dissatisfaction.Since Mr. Chen robbed his family's shop, why is it so strange that this shop belongs to Mr. Chen now? It's just a big fuss.
Chen Xing's eyes widened in disbelief. He didn't expect that this shop belonged to Mr. Chen. What's even more amazing is that this shop was snatched by Mr. Chen from the Gu family, that is to say, this shop belonged to Gu Lang.
Thinking of the money needed to buy a shop, Chen Xing's eyes widened all of a sudden. He didn't expect that the poor Gu Lang would become a rich man without his knowing it.
Compared to Chen Xing's shock at Gu Lang's sudden wealth, the county magistrate sitting at the top thought of something, his face became ugly, and he looked at Master Chen with a little more unkindness.
Mr. Chen was a little surprised at first, but after seeing the county magistrate's ugly face, he suddenly seemed to think of something, a bit of panic appeared on his face, and thin beads of sweat even appeared on his forehead in the cool room.
Gu Lang didn't seem to notice the emotional changes on everyone's faces, and talked about his own discovery, as if he was recalling the process of his exploration.
"Originally, this wasn't a big deal. After all, it can only be regarded as a coincidence at best. I don't think there should be any major problems even if I go to discuss with Mr. Chen about returning the shop. But later, after I knew the previous owner's After the encounter, I changed my mind."
Hearing this, Master Chen suddenly raised his head to look at Gu Lang, moved the somewhat fat figure, and wanted to come over to stop Gu Lang's next words, but unfortunately, before he could do anything, he was stopped by the quick-sighted official. down.
"Master Chen, don't be impulsive."
Master Chen looked at the tall and powerful officials around him, and squeezed his fists, but he didn't dare to make any moves anymore.
I saw Gu Lang slightly hooked the corners of his lips, looked at Master Chen standing there, and said with a hint of sarcasm in his tone: "This shop was originally run by a female shopkeeper, but later that female shopkeeper committed a crime. She was sentenced for one thing. Perhaps for her own safety, or for other reasons, Mr. Chen put a lot of effort into it, making her originally not a heavy punishment, and finally turned into exile.
In the follow-up investigation, I found out that Mr. Chen and the shopkeeper still had a friendship for several years.I was thinking at the time that such an unclear relationship could make Mr. Chen put such a ruthless hand in order to take back the shop. I, a person with no relatives, no reason and no foundation, went to ask Mr. Chen for a shop. "
Hearing this, everyone took a breath in unison, and looked at Mr. Chen with more complicated eyes. What's more, they remembered the female shopkeeper back then, and cursed a few words indignantly, "I Let’s just say, that female shopkeeper is weak and weak, even if she breaks the law, what kind of law can a woman break, and she is sentenced to such a severe sentence, it turns out that it is the result of Master Chen’s dealings with it."
"It's a pity, for such a beautiful woman who still has charm, this old master Chen is too cruel."
"That's right, the one-night couple repays Baiye's kindness. It's really shameless for him to be able to do such a thing with the lady boss for so long."
Compared with the discussions of the people around, Mrs. Chen, who was originally pale because of Chen Linger's sentence, now looked at Master Chen with a little strangeness in her eyes.
When Gu Lang mentioned the proprietress just now, Mrs. Chen suddenly remembered the favored aunt who was next to Mr. Chen. That woman had an affair with Mr. Chen, and when she was brought back, she was still pregnant.When she finished giving birth, she used an excuse to drive the domineering woman out.
It's just that Mrs. Chen didn't expect that the woman who tried her best to drive out at the beginning was not as depressed as she imagined, but instead lived a happy life outside with a lot of severance pay.
Thinking of the woman not only staying in the city, but also living a good life, Mrs. Chen inevitably began to have other thoughts, such as when Master Chen was out at night, who was there?How many more such outhouses are there.Thinking of this, Mrs. Chen looked at Master Chen with colder eyes.
Gu Lang didn't seem to notice the movement around him, and continued to tell his story, with a bitter smile on his face, "If it wasn't for Master Chen who was too tight behind me, I wouldn't even plan to discuss this matter with you." After all, I just want to live in peace."
Gu Lang was completely persecuted at this time, vividly interpreting the image of a down-and-out scholar being oppressed by rich merchants, even Chen Xing, who was standing beside him, could not help but feel a little sympathy for him, and gently patted him Pat him on the arm to keep him from thinking about those unpleasant memories.
Gu Lang showed Chen Xing a reassuring smile, then looked up at the magistrate, and continued: "Master Guan, there is one last thing I want to say.
That was when I signed the contract with the person sent by Mr. Chen, but I have seen the contract of that shop.The real contract is with me, so the one in Master Chen's hand is naturally a fake.According to the laws and regulations of this dynasty, forging official documents is a felony! "
Hearing what Gu Lang said, Master Chen's brain exploded with a 'buzz', and what he vaguely guessed just now has finally come true.He finally knew Gu Lang's purpose. He had done so many things and induced so many things. His final purpose was to bite off a large piece of flesh from himself.
Just when Mr. Chen was in despair and the people around him were surprised, the official who was called by the county magistrate to identify the documents just now suddenly said "huh", and then suddenly realized: "No wonder, I felt a little strange when I looked at the contract, but I couldn't find it. To the strange place, it turned out that it was forged."
The county magistrate suddenly became angry. He clapped the gavel on his hands, looked at Mr. Chen below, and asked sharply, "What else do you have to say?"
Master Chen looked at the county magistrate with a cold eyebrow above him, his wanton eyebrows finally drooped, he lowered his head slowly, and admitted resignedly: "The grass people have nothing to say."
"Okay, since that's the case, the criminal Chen Bingsheng occupied the three shops of Gu's family ten years ago, and made fake land deeds. Today, you are sentenced to return those shops within seven days. Clothes?"
Hearing what the magistrate said, Mr. Chen gritted his teeth and responded, "Cao Minfu."
The 5000 canes probably cost him half of his life, and the [-] taels of fines probably wiped out all his belongings, which is equivalent to killing the other half of his life.But he couldn't refuse to give it. If he didn't give it, he estimated that he would spend the rest of his life in prison.
In an instant, Master Chen seemed to have been emptied of his life, and he aged ten years in an instant.
When Mr. Chen was pulled down to be punished, Chen Xing stared at his back and shook his head involuntarily. If you do many unrighteous actions, you will kill yourself. Mr. Chen is a typical example.
"Let's go, it's time for us to go home." Just as Chen Xing was fascinated by Master Chen, a gentle voice suddenly came from the side.
Chen Xing looked up and saw Gu Langzheng staring at him softly. Thinking of what he said in class just now, Chen Xing couldn't help softening his heart. He nodded towards him and responded softly. ,"Um."
Just as the two were walking out together, Mrs. Chen came in front of them with the help of a maid. After seeing her, Gu Lang took a step forward and blocked Chen Xing behind her.
Madam Chen didn't even look at Chen Xing, but stared straight at Gu Lang, her eyes were full of resentment, she seemed to want to restrain herself, but in the end she couldn't restrain herself, so she could only lower her voice, Turning towards Gu Lang, he said, "All this is your revenge?"
Gu Lang looked at the woman in front of him with a calm expression, no emotion could be heard in his voice, "What are you talking about Madam, if it wasn't for Master Chen pushing too hard, how could I have done these things."
Mrs. Chen looked at Gu Lang's calm expression with vicious eyes. After this trip, she not only lost a daughter, lost half of her husband's life, but also lost most of their family property, and all of this was because of the person in front of her. man!
Mrs. Chen fixed Gu Lang for a while, and finally looked at Chen Xing beside him, sneered, and said disdainfully: "Even he is part of your revenge plan?"
Chen Xing was stunned for a moment, he didn't think that there was still his own business, just when he was about to say something, Mrs. Chen turned around and left with the maid beside him, without giving him a chance to speak again.
Seeing the back of Mrs. Chen leaving, Chen Xing pursed his lips, and then his eyes fell on the person in front of him.
