The wealthy tycoon wants to be the white moonlight of the little village girl

Li, who was originally in a panic, was stunned when she heard the prefect say this!

On the way here, she was still wondering why the government suddenly came to her house and arrested her, but she never expected that it was because of this incident!

That’s right, she did pick out some top-quality jewelry and other items from the betrothal gifts and gave them to Wang Fugui, but how did the government know about it?

Although she asked that girl to break off the engagement with the Jiang family, it had not been done yet. She had originally planned to go to Qingfeng County and ask the county magistrate to testify and return the betrothal gifts. Why did they suddenly accuse her of being a thief? No! There must be something strange going on!

Li gritted her teeth and said secretly: Could it be that the girl and the Jiang family are working together to harm me? Because I asked her to cancel the engagement, she didn't want to, so she and the Jiang family made up a reason to harm me, humph, a vicious and mean girl!

Li gritted her teeth and said, "Master, please look carefully. I have always behaved myself and never committed any theft, let alone stealing jewelry from the Jiang residence. There must be some misunderstanding. Please distinguish right from wrong!"

Zheng Zegang sneered and said, "You bold and wicked woman, it seems you won't cry until you see the coffin! Come, bring the prisoner to the court!"

With the sound of rattling iron chains, the officers brought in a thin middle-aged man. After bringing him to the hall, they pushed him hard and the middle-aged man fell to the ground involuntarily.

The officer replied, "Your Excellency, the prisoner Wang Fugui is here!"

Zheng Zegang slammed the gavel hard and shouted, "Wang Fugui, do you recognize who is kneeling next to you?"

The dark-skinned middle-aged man secretly glanced at Li next to him, then immediately lowered his head and stammered in a low voice: "I know... this person... this person... is my lover Li Juxian! All the jewels I got were given by her!"

After he finished speaking, Li, who was kneeling beside him, couldn't help but widen his eyes in shock!

She couldn't believe that this man who usually looked smart, capable and cunning was so spineless. Before he did anything, he spilled all his secrets!

It's a pity that she had been with him for so many years, she really made a mistake!

Although Li had felt something was wrong the moment he was brought up, knowing that her true intentions were exposed, she never expected that this bastard would be so spineless that he would confess himself the moment he was brought up!

I was so blind that I didn't realize he was that kind of person!

But now that things have come to this, I can only deny it to the death! Otherwise, if the Jiang family knew that I had conspired with others to frame that girl and force her to break off the engagement, they would definitely come after me!

Li knelt down and kowtowed heavily, saying softly, "I don't know this man, and I don't know why he wronged me. Please investigate."

"Unjust?" Zheng Zegang sneered and slammed the gavel in his hand! He shouted sternly: "Wang Fugui, I order you to confess this matter from the beginning, and you must not hide anything!"

Wang Fugui bowed his head and said, "Yes!"

Then he narrated the whole story from beginning to end. Li was so shocked that he was stunned and trembling as if he had fallen into an ice cellar!

It turned out that after Wang Fugui and Li separated that night, they wanted to find a place to hide and then leave the city after dawn.

Unexpectedly, he suddenly met a night patrol soldier on the way. Seeing that he was acting suspiciously, they approached him for questioning. After finding the bundle, they opened it and concluded that it was either stolen goods or murder goods. After arresting him, they sent both the man and the bundle to Yingtian Prefecture.

Prefect Zheng Zegang was hearing a case in court when his superior unexpectedly sent someone to say that a big shot in the capital had his home robbed and a large amount of gold, silver and treasures were lost. He asked him to investigate thoroughly, otherwise it would be difficult to report to his superiors.

Zheng Zegang took the list of lost treasures and was stunned, because all of them matched the things in the bundle!

This made him excited all over, feeling lucky! He solved an important case so easily!

So after sending his boss away, he returned to the lobby to interrogate the thief again.

Under severe torture, Wang Fugui could not bear it any longer and confessed the whole story. The officers, following the order of the prefect, went directly to Yao's house, locked up the main culprit Li and brought him to the lobby.

Seeing that Li was still stubborn and refused to confess, Zheng Zegang ordered the officers, "You are such a rude woman! With all the evidence and witnesses, you still dare to argue! Come, torture her!"

After hearing this, the officers came up like wolves and tigers and put the pliers on Li's ten fingers. Zheng Zegang asked, "Li, do you confess or not?"

Li gritted her teeth and said, "I am innocent! I have nothing to confess!"

Zheng Zegang shouted, "Punish him!"

The officers pulled the rope hard, and Li immediately felt pain in her ten fingers and screamed "Ah!"

Zheng Zegang continued to ask: "Are you going to recruit or not?"

Li was shaking with pain, sweating profusely, and begged for mercy, "I am willing to confess!"

Zheng Zegang sneered, "Okay! If what you said is true, I will spare your life! Why don't you confess quickly!"

"Yes!"

Li kowtowed heavily and said, "These jewels were originally the betrothal gift for my daughter Qinghe. I was confused for a moment and stole some to give to that damn Wang Fugui! I originally wanted to wait until my children got married, and then I and Wang Fugui would become a formal couple!

Because he lied to me, saying that he and my wife had never gotten along, and that he would divorce that shrew and marry me when the time was right. I was foolish enough to believe his lies. Now I hope that you will spare my life, considering that this is my first offense!"

Zheng Zegang nodded after hearing this and said, "Come on, let her confess and sign first, and then put her in jail and keep her under strict guard! I will make a decision after I find out the truth, and we will adjourn the court for now!"

"Yes."

The officers took the two men away and put them in prison.

After the court session ended, Zheng Zegang went to the back hall, took off his official uniform, changed into ordinary clothes, then got into a blue wool sedan and left the yamen.

After the sedan chair traveled for about a meal's time, it stopped in front of a house. The attendant went forward to knock on the door, and after the door opened, Zheng Zegang walked in.

In the hall, an old man with gray hair and a dignified demeanor sat on the armchair. After listening to Zheng Zegang's report, he stroked his white beard and said thoughtfully, "If that's the case, then let's do this first. I'll ask Lord He for his opinion before making a decision."

"Yes! Yes!" Zheng Zegang smiled and said, "Teacher, I wonder what the background of that great man is that made Lord He and you spend so much effort on him?"

The old man smiled slightly, glanced at him, and said proudly: "This little thing is nothing, let alone such a trivial matter, even if it is a lawsuit ten times more serious than this, I can handle it! Alas, it's a pity that my level is too low, and I can't contact that big shot directly, otherwise, I can take you around..."

Zheng Zegang was stunned after hearing this, and thought to himself: What kind of background does this person have to have to drive such a senior official like Teacher and Lord He to serve each other like this? ! "

After a conversation, Zheng Zegang said goodbye and left. The old man took a sedan chair to He's house and explained the matter to He Sidao in detail. After listening, He Sidao nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, thank you!"

The old man smiled and bowed, "Master He, you are too polite. Please tell me what you need!"

After that, the two chatted for a while, and then the old man said goodbye and left. He Sidao got up and went to the study, picked up a pen and carefully wrote a letter. After writing it, he sealed it and handed it to a confidant, and ordered: "Send it to Ningyou Street."
