Chapter 1888 Guo Zheng’s Back-Up Plan

Qi Lie looked at the paper in his hand, a little confused, raised his head and asked, "These are..."

"Back to your lord, Chen Bing said that Zhou Tiedong embezzled a heirloom of the Chen family, a jade pot worth three hundred taels. That's why he was sentenced to prison. Not only that, but the Zhou family was also asked to pay compensation, and Zhou Tiedong was jailed for three years. .”

Qi Lie nodded, "That's true." When Chen Bing and Zhou Tiedong confronted each other just now, they had already discussed the case in detail.

Guo Zheng then said, "But the Chen family doesn't have any heirlooms at all. The so-called jade pot was bought in the second year when Cao Min was the accountant. Although the price was not low, it was not worth three hundred taels at all, and It’s seventy taels of silver. What you have in your hands is the voucher from when you bought the jade pot. It describes in detail the appearance, material, price, and unique features of the jade pot.”

"When I first bought this jade pot, Chen Bing liked it very much, but seventy taels was not low for the Chen family. Mrs. Chen would definitely not agree to buying a jade pot that she liked but was not useful. So Chen Bing hid it from his family and brought only Cao Min went to help identify the authenticity. Therefore, after buying the jade pot, the certificate was given to Cao Min and temporarily kept in the accounting office. He only told Mrs. Chen when he found an explanation later. Moreover, Chen Bing asked me to balance the accounts and could not let it go. Mrs. Chen noticed something strange."

When Pan outside the door heard this, his eyes widened and he looked at Chen Bing in disbelief.

"However, two years later, Chen Bing's youngest daughter Chen Qiu was very playful and liked the jade pot very much when she saw it, but accidentally broke it. Chen Bing was heartbroken. Mrs. Chen didn't know the price of the jade pot and just thought it was a fake. . Seeing Chen Bing losing his temper, he was still very angry, and the two had a quarrel at that time."

"The jade pot is broken and cannot be repaired. The voucher for buying the jade pot is naturally useless. Chen Bing asked me to burn the voucher. However, I had worked as an accountant in the Chen family for four years at that time, so I knew Chen Bing somewhat and knew him. He was not as kind as he appeared on the surface. So I kept a close eye on him and kept this certificate secretly."

Guo Zheng was thinking of leaving a way out for himself, fearing that Chen Bing would use this to take advantage of him.

Chen Bing did find fault with him before he was fired, but he didn't use the jade pot excuse. Agent Li alone was enough to make Guo Zheng suffer.

Guo Zheng was older than Zhou Tiedong and had more experience. After knowing that Agent Li and Chen Bing were on the same team, he made no attempt to counterattack him. Even if you have a lot of evidence about him, you won't show it to others easily.

Unexpectedly, a few years later, this jade pot would come in handy to convict Zhou Tiedong.

Guo Zheng took a deep breath and said, "Sir, this is what happened. The jade pot that Chen Bing said was corrupted by Zhou Tiedong has been broken long ago. The people presented not only the voucher for buying the jade pot at that time, but also Chen Bing's attempt to take away the jade. When repairing, the master indicated that it could not be repaired, so please take a closer look."

The onlookers could hear whispers. After Qi Lie looked at the things in his hands in detail, he nodded and asked Chen Bing, "Do you have anything else to say?"

Chen Bing never thought that Guo Zheng had such a skill, and he was really gentle with him at first.

He raised his head and said in panic, "Sir, I did buy a jade pot before. After the jade pot broke into pieces, I bought another one. The one I bought later was worth three hundred taels, but it was given to me by Zhou Tiedong. ”
