The accountant Qin Qin questioned was called Ding Li, but he sneered.
"It's true that the governor of Qin County is not greedy, but his son, Qin Yue, keeps putting money into his pocket."
Ding Li handed the evidence to Governor Dou: "Here is the detailed list of gifts, Governor, please take a closer look."
Qin Yue?
How could it be...
Qin Qin still didn't believe it!
However, when Governor Dou saw the accounts in his hand, his brows furrowed.
This not only involves Qin Yue's embezzlement in Longyuan County, but the account book also contains some of his previous situations in the imperial capital. This Qin Yue... is full of loopholes and cannot withstand investigation at all.
The prefect of Qin County was not openly greedy, but he sent his son to do it. It's really... Governor Dou shook his head.
Now the situation is basically clear.
Zhan Ning, the lord of Qinyang City, was killed by a tyrant.
The governor of Qin County thought that it was the Su family who did it, so he gathered a group of people to cause trouble for the Su family. However, he knew that the governor of Qin County himself was not a clean person, so he was hurt by the tyranny.
The Lord of Xunnan City and the Lord of Yunxi City had evidence of corruption in the hands of County Governor Qin, so the two of them joined forces to kill County Governor Qin and put the blame on the Peiyang Su family, preparing to take the opportunity to eliminate the Su family.
After Governor Dou came to this conclusion, he didn't want to talk anymore.
He rubbed his brows with some difficulty.
In fact, it wasn't just the Qin County Magistrate who wanted to deal with the Su family. It wasn't just the Xunnan City Lord and the Yunxi City Lord who wanted to deal with the Su family.
He was the governor-general, and he had dealings with the Su family before, but the secret decree from the empire forced him to take sides.
Emperor Xuanyuan wanted to completely eradicate the Su family. Governor Dou didn't want to make things difficult for the Su family, but when he thought of the secret decree that arrived yesterday... Governor Dou rubbed his brows in embarrassment.
He could feel that the Su family could not be as innocent as they appeared to be in this matter, and they must have done something involved.
But the amazing thing is that they hid so deeply, without revealing any clues or leaving any evidence.
What’s even more amazing is that they incited the public, using millions of people as witnesses, and cleared themselves of all blame...it’s really amazing.
Governor Dou has been in this position for more than one or two years.
Over the years, he watched helplessly as the Peiyang Su family's territory shrank little by little, the family weakened step by step, and the population decreased little by little... The Peiyang Su family is now like a giant with only an empty shell left, the kind that would fall down with a push.
But, they actually played such a trick on him!
It’s as if those in power have suddenly become powerful.
"Governor, I am suing the Lord of Xunnan City in the name of Peiyang Su family!" Su Luo stood up.
Governor Dou was speechless.
You dare to say that your Peiyang Su family didn't do anything about this? Then I'll really admire you!
But you're still acting so ungrateful after getting such a good deal?!
Governor Dou glared at Su Luo.
Su Luo, however, showed no sign of weakness and met Governor Dou's gaze. "Your Excellency, Governor, I am suing the Lord of Xunnan City for defaming my Peiyang Su family without any evidence. My Peiyang Su family cannot bear such a charge, nor do we dare to bear it!"
Su Luo said with a righteous look, "My Peiyang Su family has always been honest and hardworking, benefiting the people, not causing trouble, and not offending others. If you still attract attention even after doing this, then my Peiyang Su family has nothing to say!"
"That's all I have to say today! My Peiyang Su family doesn't cause trouble, but we're not afraid of it either! If you, the Xun'nan City Lord, dare to slander me, I will sue you to the end!" Su Luo stared at the Xun'nan City Lord with cold eyes!
