Chapter 245 Ironclad Evidence
When they heard Lvliu say there was evidence, several people in the hall were stunned.
"What evidence do you have?" Jiang Shu asked.
Lvliu said, "When I paid the money, Manager Wu wrote a receipt and asked me to press my fingerprints. When he forced me a few days ago, I bit his arm, so there should be a tooth mark."
After a pause, Lvliu said, "I bit Manager Wu and ran out of the account office. I met the account clerk Zhuo Teng outside. He heard the noise in the room and can testify."
In this way, both physical and human evidence were gathered.
"Zhu Feng." Yu Zhengchen shouted.
Zhu Feng stepped forward and followed Lvliu's instructions. He rolled up Wu Qian's sleeves and revealed the tooth mark on his forearm.
Lvliu bit him so hard that even though three days had passed, Wu Qian still had clear teeth marks on his arm.
"Master, there are teeth marks." Zhufeng reported truthfully.
Wu Qian's face suddenly changed, and he tried to make a cunning excuse, "It was a bitch who bit him, and Lvliu just happened to know about it."
Jiang Shu smiled when he heard that, and said in a cold tone, "Whether it is true or not, let Lvliu bite it again and compare it, and it will be clear at a glance."
People's handprints are different, and so are teeth marks. The facts are in front of him, let's see how he can make excuses. If he
bites again, won't he feel pain again?
The last time Lvliu bit his arm and it was soaked in blood, the heart-piercing pain is still vivid in his mind, and he hasn't forgotten it at all.
A good man should not suffer a loss in front of him. Wu Qian was startled and hurriedly changed his words: "It was indeed Lvliu who bit my hand, but she seduced me and I didn't want to. She bit me to vent her anger."
"You are shameless!" Lvliu's eyes were red with anger, and she wanted to bite Wu Qian to death.
Looking down at Wu Qian who didn't cry until he saw the coffin, Jiang Shu said calmly: "Zhufeng Chuyu, you take people to the account office and Wu Qian's room, search for the receipts, and bring Zhuo Teng."
"Yes." Zhufeng Chuyu took the order and left in a hurry.
Wu Qian knelt in the hall, full of panic. He
came in a hurry just now, and he didn't know what to do, so he didn't make any preparations.
Now he could only pray that Zhuo Teng would not talk nonsense, and Zhufeng and the others would not be able to find the account book, otherwise he would be finished!
And what about Mo Liang, what happened to him? Not only did he not inform him of the news, but he also said that he didn't know?
What did he mean, did he want to abandon him and protect himself?
Time passed by little by little, Wu Qian was anxious and broke out in a cold sweat, feeling that the waiting time was both long and short.
Mo Liang in the ear room, clenched his hands as if he was standing on a mountain of knives, and was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. He knew very well that they were grasshoppers on a rope, and if Wu Qian got into trouble, none of them could escape.
But Jiang Shuyu Zheng was sitting in the outer hall, and even if he was brave, he would not dare to do anything at this time.
"Master, Princess."
Zhuofeng Chuyu's voices rang out from outside. They are back!
"I am Zhuo Teng, and I am honored to meet you, Prince and Princess." Zhuo Teng, dressed in a gray servant's uniform, bowed respectfully to the two people above him.
Jiang Shu flipped through the account book presented by Chuyu, and her face looked very ugly.
"What's wrong?" Seeing that her expression was not right, Yu Zheng frowned and asked.
Jiang Shu pursed her lips and handed the account book in her hand to Yu Zheng for review.
"Wu Qian, you are so bold that you dare to lend money privately in the mansion!" Jiang Shu looked at Wu Qian coldly with her almond eyes, and was shocked and angry.
Originally thought that Wu Qian just cheated Lvliu, but he was so bold that he lent money in the palace and made a profit!
The account book clearly recorded the amount of money, and each name was marked with a bright red handprint. No matter how Wu Qian argued, he could not deny it.
After thinking quickly, Wu Qian kowtowed decisively: "Princess, please spare my life, Your Majesty, please spare my life! I was obsessed with money for a moment, and I will never dare to do it again."
Yu Zheng, who had seen the account book, had a frighteningly cold face and said in a cold voice: "Spare my life? Humph! You dare to do such a thing under my nose, I thought you were not afraid of death!"
"Your Majesty, please forgive me, I was blinded by greed, and I will never dare to do it again..." Wu Qian knelt on the ground, trembling, and his teeth were trembling when he spoke.
Private lending at high interest rates is a crime, and Wu Qian even lent money in the palace. This behavior is no different from plucking the hair on a tiger's head and disturbing the Tai Sui's head. This matter is very serious.
Yu Zhengjun's face was cold and his eyes were like sharp knives. The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became subdued and the temperature dropped a few degrees.
Chu Yu and a few others stood aside, not daring to speak.
Jiang Shu looked at Zhuo Teng, who was standing in the hall with his head bowed, and said in a deep voice: "Lvliu said that when she was molested by Wu Qian in the accounting office a few days ago, you were outside the door. What did you hear?"
As a partner, living under Wu Qian, it would be a bad life if you offended Wu Qian, but that was in the past, and the situation is very different now.
Just because of the private lending in the palace, Wu Qian must go to jail and will never be able to serve as the steward of the palace again.
Zhuo Teng hesitated for a moment and whispered: "My princess, I heard that Steward Wu forced Lvliu to give herself to him on the pretext of paying back the money. Lvliu refused and argued with him, and Steward Wu was so angry that he slapped Lvliu in the face."
The slap was very heavy, and Zhuo Teng heard it clearly outside the door. When Lvliu ran out of the account office, Zhuo Teng also saw the redness and tears on her face.
He wanted to step forward to comfort her, but Lvliu covered her face and ran away in humiliation.
"Zhuo Teng, don't talk nonsense." Wu Qian tilted his head, stared at Zhuo Teng fiercely, and warned him hatefully.
Seeing this, Yu Zheng, who was at the top, looked even colder. He picked up the teacup beside him and smashed it on Wu Qian: "Wu Qian, if you think your life is too long, I can kill you now."
Imprisonment is in accordance with the law, but as long as Yu Zheng is willing, he can also punish directly, and no one dares to say a word.
"My Lord, please forgive me, my Lord, please spare my life..." Wu Qian fell to the ground in panic, and dared not move or speak rashly again.
"Zhuo Teng, is what you said true?" Jiang Shu asked.
Zhuo Teng said: "Every word I said is true, I dare not say a single false word, please judge by your Lord and Princess."
Mo Liang, who was in the ear room, heard this and closed his eyes in despair. He knew that Wu Qian had no chance to turn over.
"Don't worry about it." Jiang Shu's call rang out of the hall.
Mo Liang and Mo Cheng walked out and stood in the hall in panic.
Wu Qian and Zhuo Teng were shocked. They didn't expect Mo Liang to be there all the time.
Jiang Shu took in their expressions, his face solemn and his voice cold: "I'll ask you again, do you really know nothing about what Wu Qian did?"
"This..." Mo Liang hesitated, not knowing what to say.
Thinking that Wu Qian had no chance of turning the tables, Mo Liang made a painful decision and said, "I have heard a little bit, but I don't know the details."
Jiang Shu sneered in his heart when he heard such a foolish remark.
Knowing that Mo Liang, this old fox, would not tell the truth, Jiang Shu stopped asking questions. After all, Wu Qian's matter had been investigated, so Jiang Shu ordered, "Come here, take Wu Qian away and lock him up. According to the name in the account book, go to the mansion to find someone to record the confession."
"Yes." The guards outside the hall entered the room and took Wu Qian away.
When passing by Mo Liang, Wu Qian looked at him meaningfully, as if asking for help, but also as a threat.
"You can also leave." Jiang Shu waved his hand and stood up to return to the main courtyard.
It was almost noon, and she was a little tired after sitting for so long.
"See you, my Lord and my Princess." After seeing off Jiang Shu and Yu Zheng, Mo Liang left in a hurry.
Zhuo Teng looked at Mo Liang's back, his eyes narrowed slightly as if thinking about something.
