Chapter 552 Someone is finally going to suffer the consequences of his own actions!
Amid the discussion, someone followed up with a question: "I think your son must have received some favor from someone, so he did this, right?"
The voice was very familiar. The Gu family turned around and saw Yang Shuo standing in the crowd.
Originally, Yang Shuo was going to Yongfeng Village to look for Gu's family, but halfway along the way he heard from the locals that a house in Yongfeng Village had caught fire and someone had died, so he hurried over.
It was not until Gu Yanchen and Ran Qingxuan said those words just now that he understood what they meant after a little thought.
His words also resonated with other people, and they all speculated who had instructed Hong Laizi.
In the court, after he said the words "he will be executed on a certain day", the officer beside him quickly reminded him that he was wrong. But before he could even utter the correction, so many things happened again.
At that moment, he no longer wanted to punish Hong Laizi, he just wanted to find a knife to kill himself first...
After letting out a silent cry in his heart, Tang En slammed the table repeatedly.
"Hong Laizi, was there anyone who instructed you to do what you did?"
......
When Hong Laizi's mother Ma first rushed in, she told him quietly that if he refused to admit to killing anyone, he would be charged with arson at most.
At that time, he just thought that the person was dead, and no one would know even if his arm was bitten.
Unexpectedly, not only did the man not die in the end, he even admitted in front of everyone that he was the one who set the fire, and eventually even the fact that he had injured someone was confirmed.
Now he is about to suffer the same fate as Qian Ming, how can he not be panicked.
While Ma was rushing in to explain, she had already quietly told him the seriousness of the matter. After weighing the pros and cons, Hong Laizi thought that the little money he would have to collect was not worth risking his life.
Ran Qingxuan had already seen through his thoughts, and Gu Yanchen also sneered and waited for the show.
Just when Tang En was about to lose his patience, Hong Laizi pretended to hold his head and started crying, and then began to talk incoherently about the cause of the incident.
"It's all about that Pang Yuanlong from our village. He was the one who invited me to a drink and said Qian was the head of the village... No, Qian Guoli is no longer the head of the village..."
"Qian Guoli found Pang Yuanlong and said he would give me money to burn the wood that the Gu family brought back to build their house, so that they would suffer a huge loss..."
"My mother is in poor health and needs treatment. I was blinded by greed and did it. Qian Guoli is the mastermind. He is the mastermind!"
Ran Qingxuan took a deep breath. Finally, someone was going to suffer the consequences of his own actions!
"This Qian Guoli... seems to be Qian Ming's father. Wasn't he released after the amnesty two days ago? Why can't he sit still after returning?"
"Isn't it that the most promising son ended up like that? He was beheaded before the imperial decree of amnesty arrived. Who can bear this?"
"Who can I blame? Qian Ming is dead, so he deserves it. How can he be so arrogant when his family has no support? I didn't expect it."
Seeing this, Gu Yanchen said to Tang En in a cold voice: "Tang County Magistrate, I think it would be best if you send someone to bring him back as soon as possible, so as to avoid more worries later if he escapes..."
Tang En was furious and gritted his teeth as he ordered Qin Jun to arrest the man.
On the other side, at the Qian family's house, Qian Guolipan was sitting on the kang looking at the empty house. His wife Zhu Baoju looked outside from time to time, as if waiting for something.
There was another person sitting in the room, it was Pang Yuanlong from the Qian clan.
"Uncle, don't worry. Hong Laizi is very smart and will definitely not betray you..."
"What do you mean by me? It was you who went to find him!"
Qian Guoli lost his most promising youngest son. In two days, he seemed to have aged ten years, but the ruthlessness in his eyes increased instead of diminishing.
Being stared at like that, Pang Yuanlong smiled awkwardly and turned away.
"Yes, yes, it's me, but I didn't expect this grandson to dare to kill someone."
"Are you sure he won't tell anyone about it?"
Pang Yuanlong leaned on the kang and peeled peanuts, saying lazily: "No, no one saw him setting the fire. It was the middle of the night, and no one saw him killing anyone. What's the point of revealing something we don't have evidence for!"
Qian Guoli snorted coldly: "It's better to be like this, otherwise I will count you all, and no one will be able to escape."
Pang Yuanlong didn't show it on his face, but he was actually very happy...
The Qian family was previously confiscated at the behest of Marquis Zhenbei, but he didn't expect that his cousin could still come up with two hundred taels.
Hong Laizi was given 100 taels of silver, and he got it for free by just saying a few words. He only wished he could do this job more often...
"Uncle..." Pang Yuanlong was about to speak when the door of the bedroom was suddenly pushed open, and Qian Shun stood at the door with a pale face and trembling legs.
"Dad, there are many officials coming to the village..."
"What?"
Qian Guoli jumped off the kang and suddenly thought of something and looked at Pang Yuanlong.
"Didn't you say that Hong Laizi would never admit it even if he died? Then why are the police here now?"
Pang Yuanlong was also frightened and stammered, "No... I don't know... Maybe he came to count the losses of the Gu family... the things they lost..."
Qian Guoli was still worried, and Zhu Baoju still held on to a glimmer of hope. When she saw the familiar figure outside, her eyes immediately brightened.
"His father, it's A Tai who's back."
Qian Guoli put on his shoes and ran out in a hurry. After seeing Qian Tai's panic-stricken look, he instantly realized that his crime had been exposed.
Then he turned around without hesitation and went to the end of the kang. He lifted the quilt, pulled out two bricks from the end of the kang, and then took out a handful of silver bills from them.
Pang Yuanlong was originally shocked that the Qian family's money was hidden here, but when he saw Qian Guoli packing the money and preparing to escape through the back window, he immediately realized something.
"Uncle, you can't just abandon me. You ordered me to do this."
"Get lost, you are the one who found him, and Hong Laizi did it, what does it have to do with me..."
When Pang Yuanlong heard that he was going to make him take the blame, his true colors were immediately revealed.
"No, if you run away I will suffer. If you want to die, let's die together!"
Pang Yuanlong hugged Qian Guoli's waist tightly. Before Zhu Baoju and his two sons could pull him apart, the police rushed in.
Seeing this, Qin Jun sneered: "Master Qian, are you going on a long journey?"
The officers rushed forward, tied up Qian Guoli and Pang Yuanlong and took them away, and the Qian family immediately began to howl in horror.
Qin Jun felt extremely happy when he saw this.
The reason was simple: when Qian Ming was still the county magistrate, Qian Guoli often relied on his son's status to order them around. Now that he had the chance to settle his personal grudges, there was no reason not to seize the opportunity.
Qin Jun looked at the bag that fell on the ground, picked it up and took a look, his eyes widened instantly the next second.
"My goodness, this is quite greedy!"
After walking out, Qin Jun asked his colleagues to put the two men in shackles.
