Xiao Hechuan was not surprised at all when Su Yanqing sent someone to invite him. It was completely within his expectations. He knew that his plan was already half successful.
Su Yanqing booked a private room in the teahouse and waited for Xiao Hechuan to come.
He told Xiao Hechuan everything that happened in Su Yanli's mansion and asked him what to do next.
"Hechuan, you said this matter is extremely beneficial to me. I don't know where to start? How did you know such a secret matter?"
Su Yanqing was really curious, how did Xiao Hechuan know all this? He had placed spies in Su Yanli's mansion, but he didn't find such a scandal. It was really shameful to say.
However, Xiao Hechuan had already thought of an excuse.
"This incident was a coincidence. A few months ago, I happened to see Su Yanli taking his concubine and daughter out for a walk on the street, so I remembered their appearance. Not long after that, I saw his concubine secretly dating a man outside the family. From then on, I had a bold guess, so I tried to report this to Su Yanli's wife, Liao.
Since ancient times, whenever there were several women serving in the backyard, there would be fighting and strife. A little inquiry would reveal that Liao's situation in the mansion was not good. She was not favored by Su Yanli and had no children. After she learned about this, she would definitely try every possible means to find something to hold against Luo. "
After listening to this, Su Yanqing nodded in agreement and asked him what to do next.
"Then Hechuan, according to your idea, what should we do next?"
In fact, Su Yanqing already had a general direction in mind. If he wanted to restrain Su Yanli, he only needed to publicize the scandal that happened in his family, and it would be best if he exaggerated it. These things would be a great torture for Su Yanli, who was extremely concerned about his reputation.
However, this is not enough. If we want to take him down in one fell swoop and leave him no chance of recovery, then it is not enough to just destroy his heart.
Xiao Hechuan said:
"Find someone in the market to spread the news of what happened in his family. The more intense the better. According to Su Yanli's temper, he will not let Luo off easily for bringing shame upon him. However, in Daqing, unless he is executing his own slaves, slaves can be beaten and killed at will if they make mistakes. However, his concubines and the adulterer are not slaves. If he deals with them privately, it would be a disregard for human life. We have to make a big fuss about this matter.
I believe that in a few days, news will spread from Su Yanli's house that Luo had died suddenly of an acute illness. Find someone to keep an eye on him and see how he will deal with the body. It would be best if you can find the location and open the coffin for an autopsy. Once you have the evidence, you know what to do next!"
In Daqing, the crime of taking human life is not light. Once it is proven, even Su Yanli will have to pay with his life!
Su Yanqing nodded in agreement, frowning and falling into deep thought.
"Also, regarding the rumors spread in the market town, you have to do what I say!" Xiao Hechuan suddenly added.
"Tsurukawa, you can say whatever you want!"
So, Xiao Hechuan repeated to Su Yanqing the words he had prepared long ago, and asked his people to spread the rumors about Su Yanli according to his own words.
Sometimes, it doesn’t matter how you win. You have to use tricks and schemes when it’s time to do so. Don’t talk about whether he is a gentleman or not. After all, what he said is true, isn’t it?
…
A few days later, news spread from Su Yanli's mansion that his concubine Luo had died suddenly of illness. Su Yanli even pretended to set up a mourning hall at home and held a normal funeral for her, which seemed to be a decent act.
Su Yanqing had been asking someone to keep an eye on his movements and learned that on the night the incident happened, someone from Su Yanli's residence sneaked to the cliff outside the city in the middle of the night carrying a sack.
It goes without saying that who is in the sack? It must be Wu Da who was beaten to death.
If Su Yanli is to be convicted, the government office must intervene in the matter so that they can make something of it. Su Yanqing arranges his men to pretend to be woodcutters, find Wu Da's body at the bottom of the cliff, and then report it to the government office.
The people from the yamen transported the body back to the city and called a coroner to perform an autopsy.
Su Yanli was also on guard. He disposed of Wu Da's body very secretly, at the bottom of the cliff. There was no one living within thirty miles nearby. He was very surprised how a woodcutter could find Wu Da's body.
He originally thought that as time went on, Wu Da's body would be exposed in the wilderness, and even if it was not taken away by wolves, tigers and leopards, it would be difficult to be discovered. By then, as time went by, there would be no evidence, and it would be impossible to trace the cause back to him. This would be a case of accidental death.
However, just two days later, Wu Da's body was found and sent to the government office. The coroner only needed to do a casual examination to know that Wu Da definitely did not die from falling off a cliff, but was beaten to death.
Su Yanli had to take this seriously, but in his opinion, Wu Da was not an important person, and the governor of Jeju was not an absolutely honest official.
For an insignificant little person like this, Su Yanli only needed to spend some money to bribe him, and the Jeju prefect would turn a blind eye.
There is no way. In an era like this, things like this are happening everywhere, and power and money are always the best words.
However, Xiao Hechuan had already anticipated Su Yanli's next move. Almost as soon as he delivered the benefits, Xiao Hechuan's anonymous letter was delivered to the hands of the Jeju Governor.
The Jeju prefect was a special agency responsible for examining cases. In Jeju City, he also had an immediate superior, the governor of the state.
Governor Xue was a new governor. Due to the disaster in Jeju last year, the former governor was demoted for his poor performance. The new governor was transferred from the capital. Xiao Hechuan had an impression of him. He was a rare good official who was honest, upright and impartial.
Later, because of some achievements, he was transferred back to the capital and promoted to a higher rank.
His anonymous letter to the governor of Jeju was also a letter of denunciation, reporting that the governor of Jeju had secretly accepted bribes and behaved improperly.
After all, Xiao Hechuan had lived a second life, and he remembered many things clearly.
This prefect of Jeju was convicted in his later years for corruption, bribery, and helping others cover up crimes. He had served as prefect of Jeju for many years, and had helped others to give false testimony and had cases hastily closed many times. The total amount of silver he had embezzled reached as much as 200,000 taels, not to mention the gold, silver, and jewelry.
Because of the huge amount, Helian Jing, who had just boarded the plane, was alarmed.
Helian Jing sentenced him to have his property confiscated and all his property turned over to the national treasury, and his descendants for three generations were also enslaved.
He hid all the bribe banknotes and valuables in a secret room in his mansion. He only needed to bring people to check and they would be found.
