Chapter 184: A Pityful Yet Hateful Figure!

only hope to hear any news and come to investigate. If the Li family had some concerns, they might release her.Perhaps heaven heard her thoughts, suddenly a head emerged from the wall on her right.Sh..."Sir, your nephew had over a thousand taels in gambling debts before. But right before the new year, they were suddenly paid off. And these past few months, he's been living lavishly, spending money freely. He even told his friends and women that he would be the headmaster of the academy in the future, inheriting the mantle of the Guo family."

"These are all pieces of evidence, testimonies from both casino employees and women of the night. If you don't believe me, just take a look."

Mr. Guo slowly shook his head, his face ashen.

He wanted to find out the truth behind his grandchildren's tragic deaths, but in the end, he found it on his nephew's head.

He is already elderly, and his grandson is still young. If it were his nephew...who would he rely on in the future

He slowly stood up, looked around, bowed deeply, and performed a bow to the crowd.

"Our family is going through a difficult time, and I truly appreciate everyone's kindness today. I will take him back home to handle things for now, and I promise to give you all an update soon!"

Everyone was silent, but no one stopped him.

A gleam of delight flashed across Guo Qing's eyes, but before he could speak, Ye Gongzi coldly said, "Hold on!"

He gently set down the teacup in his hand. There was no anger on his face, but a quiet majesty radiated from him.

Mr. Guo, these villagers saved your descendants from the Guo family out of kindness. They helped with the burial and sent messages. They acted with benevolence and righteousness. But your Guo family is repaying kindness with evil. You came to slander these villagers as murderers and robbers, even coveting the Hot Springs Valley.

“Now that the conspiracy has been exposed, revealing your nephew as the real culprit, are you going to take people back to deal with him Isn't this too obvious! Shouldn't the villagers be the ones to shout and kill if it was them who committed the crime, but your nephew deserves such protection Mr. Old Man, isn't this inappropriate”

Mr. Guo's face flushed alternately between red and white, shame burning so intensely he wished the earth would open up and swallow him whole. "I just thought...this was a family matter, to be handled by ourselves..."

"The old man is wrong. Ever since you suspected these villagers of murder and robbery, this matter is no longer your family's concern. There are so many people here today. If even a whisper gets out, must these villagers bear the infamy of murder and robbery for life just because they did a good deed"

Young Master Ye was not polite at all. His words were like ice shards, making Old Master Guo feel cold.

But all the villagers felt a warmth in their hearts and couldn't help but straighten their backs.

They're not easily framed, they have people backing them up!

Mr. Guo was unable to respond and could only ask, "In your opinion, Lord Hou, how should this be handled"

"Of course it's official business!" Miss Ye nodded to the guards at the gate, and soon several officers from the county government walked in.

They bowed respectfully to Young Master Ye, and Young Master Ye said, "I trouble you all today. Please tell your superiors that I just handle official business as usual. I will visit again another day to express my gratitude!"

"No, no, my lord has fought for the country, enduring great hardship. This small matter is nothing to trouble my lord with. I will definitely convey my lord's words!"

And the head catcher and the officers bowed again, their posture very low, but when facing Guo Qing they kicked him with their feet and dragged him away.

Mr. Guo was taken aback, he didn't expect this matter to involve the government, and that a constable was actually waiting outside his door!

His feet were rooted to the spot, unable to move an inch.

He could already foresee that this matter was bound to spread.rson until they were head-injured and could not get up, then they turned to gang up on another victim!The Chen family did have some confidence. While the guards and servants weren't skilled fighters,...
