Chapter 1142 I Want to Slap Them in the Face
Cao Juren was almost angry to death, and replied: "It's a real thing that the Gu Jin'an family does not support Mr. Gu. Da Chu governs the country with filial piety, and people without filial piety are no different from animals. As a Juren of Da Chu, I will be devastated when encountering such a situation." Can't you sue the unfilial and poisonous grandson of a conscientious person?!"
Shang Xiucai smiled and asked: "Did you know that Gu Jinan's grandma died because Mrs. Gu gave Mr. Gu poisonous blood vines and asked him to take them back to Fei Shi to eat, so Fei Shi was poisoned to death? And? The toxin of the blood vine will not kill you as soon as you eat it, but you have to eat it for a month or two before the poison slowly develops and kill you... So Cao Juren, do you think Mr. Gu was right about Fei's death? Gu Jin The An family did not sue him for murdering his first wife and his wife, which was the greatest filial piety to him. What else do you want from the Gu Jin'an family? Do you want the Gu Jin'an family to continue to support this grandfather who killed his grandmother and abused them since he was a child? "
"Besides, Gu Jin'an's family and Mr. Gu's family have long been divorced. The divorce document was written by Qi Tanhua himself and was registered at the Yamen. What does it mean that the Gu Jin'an family that you want to divorce now continues to be filial to Mr. Gu? Are you questioning Qi Tanhua’s injustice?”
Then he said: "The case of Mrs. Gu's murder of Fei was decided by the He'an government office and approved by Dali Temple. The entire case was clearly decided, but you still dare to question it. Are you dissatisfied with the court's decision? Forget about it. The old man also has a biological son, Gu Youfu. Their family left He'an Mansion a long time ago. Before leaving, they received a thousand taels of silver from the third grandfather and his wife of the Gu family. One thousand taels of silver was enough for old man Gu to live comfortably. For the rest of my life!”
Shang Xiucai pointed at Cao Juren and said: "These things are all proved by witnesses. He'an Prefecture and the people of He'an Prefecture can testify. Why do you, Cao Juren, sue Gu Jinan for being unfilial? Sue his family for secretly To murder Mr. Gu, what a slanderer like you wants to do to ruin someone's life, is this what a person should do?"
Finally, he asked Cao Juren sharply: "In that case, I very much suspect that Cao Juren, you have taken advantage of others and deliberately ruined Gu Jinan's future!"
Shang Xiucai's words were like thunder, which struck Cao Juren hard. Cao Juren was obviously panicked. After calming down, he pointed at Shang Xiucai and said, "Don't slander me. I didn't receive any benefits. But you, it must be because Gu Jinan is your apprentice, so you are so desperate that you jump out of the wall to defend him!"
Shang Xiucai smiled and asked Cao Juren again: "I only said that I was a scholar in the 26th year of Jingwu, but I didn't say who my last name was, let alone Gu Jinan's master. How do you know my identity?" ? He also said that he was not bribed by someone to keep an eye on Gu Jinan and try to destroy him!"
What Shang Xiucai said was reasonable and well-founded. After listening to it, the people who came to see the excitement felt that it was reasonable and stood up and said: "This scholar is right. We have also heard about the legend of poisonous women with three surnames. Mr. Gu Neither Mrs. Tai nor Mr. Gu are good people. This case was also approved by Dali Temple. The evidence is solid, so there is nothing to say."
Today, Cao Juren brought his students to sue Gu Jinan. Firstly, he took money from the Tong family, and secondly, he wanted to use this matter to build his reputation and make those who laughed at him for not being admitted to the Jinshi in his life. The student has not been admitted to the Jinshi. Look, he, Cao Xiaolian, is not an incompetent old gentleman, but a high-level scholar who pays attention to morality and can rebuke unfair people.
Moreover, Gu Jinan is still Jianghuai's second little Sanyuanlang. If he can pull down a little Sanyuan, he will definitely be recorded in Jianghuai's official annals and be famous for future generations!
But he didn't expect that Shang Xiucai would be so tough. He rushed out to sue him for falsely accusing Gu Jinan. What he said was so reasonable and well-founded. Those who were watching the excitement still supported Shang Xiucai. He was so angry that he coughed violently: " Cough cough cough!”
"Sir, don't be angry, please drink some water." Cao Juren's students patted his back to calm him down, and then took out a water bag to let him drink water to calm him down.
Some students stood up, pointed at Shang Xiucai and cursed: "You are a scholar, but you don't even have the kindness to respect your elders. You made an octogenarian so angry that he almost died. You are not practicing your personal ethics. We are going to kill you." I will sue you and let the imperial court take away your reputation as a scholar!"
When Shang Xiucai saw Cao Juren coughing violently in anger, he initially felt pity for him, but when he heard Cao Juren's student's words, he laughed wildly, pointed at him and said, "I don't cultivate my personal ethics. Ha, who is it that doesn't cultivate my personal ethics?" Xiu? Okay, you want to sue me, right? Then let’s go to the Yamen now and explain everything clearly!”
Shang Xiucai grabbed the student and dragged him to the Yamen.
The student was frightened. The man in his thirties was sweating coldly. He dragged the drum stand and refused to leave. He shouted towards Cao Juren: "Sir, this thief wants to harm the students, please save the students!"
"Bah, who is harming whom?" Shang Xiucai was very angry. He would not let these people go today and must drag them into the Yamen to make it clear.
Seeing that Shang Xiucai refused to give up, and Cao Juren was obviously unable to save himself, the man was afraid and hurriedly shouted to Kong Xuezheng: "Master Xuezheng, the student is also a scholar, but a child. Please save the student quickly. Stop this madman!"
Kong Xuezheng looked at him and Shang Xiucai, then looked at Cao Juren sitting on the ground, as well as Cao Juren's students and the people watching the excitement. His face was very ugly. He was silent for a while and said: "Cao Juren, since you want to sue Gu Jinan, Then let’s go in and explain it clearly, so as not to be unclear and harm you, as well as the small three yuan that Jianghuai finally made.”
Cao Juren was shocked after hearing this. Kong Xuezheng's words seemed to mean to help Gu Jinan. What if he entered the Yamen and lost?
However, now, there is no room for change. Team leader Song has already brought people out and brought everyone into the Yamen.
However, they were not asked to kneel down. They were all scholars. The yamen was very considerate and moved chairs for those with honors, such as Cao Juren and Shang Xiucai, to sit on them. Those without fame stood and listened.
Kong Xuezheng said: "Everyone wait here for now. I'm going to call Magistrate Shi. He just came back. Let's make this matter clear today. No one will say anything nonsense in the future."
After saying that, he entered the back office, found Magistrate Shi, and told him the matter.
Magistrate Shi already knew about this. He originally thought that Kong Xuezheng would come forward and it would be settled, but he didn't expect that the commotion would reach the point of going to court. He was so angry that he almost smashed the tea cup and scolded Cao Juren three times in his heart. .
Well, Cao Fangshan, do you think I am not busy enough? If you have to find trouble for me at this time, Gu Jinan is the second junior San Yuanlang in Jianghuai, a talent that only emerges in decades. He doesn't want to protect him more, but wants to destroy him.
Do you want to destroy Gu Jinan? This is to ruin the reputation of their Jianghuai students, and to slap him, the prefect, in the face!
Kong Xuezheng also saw that Magistrate Shi was very angry and advised: "Master Shi, since there has been a quarrel with the Yamen, we can't just ignore it and resolve it once and for all. Otherwise, if the news spreads to the capital, we will be laughed at."
