Chapter 1213 A Vicious Gift
"Gold, gold, the Gao family actually has gold, and there are three jars of gold!" County Magistrate Zheng looked at the three jars of gold in front of him, and he felt tired at all.
However, I felt a little sad because this person who was raking in side money was actually richer than him. It was simply unreasonable.
Master Zheng looked at the county magistrate who was about to drool, coughed slightly, and reminded: "Sir, these are the hard-earned money of the villagers. We should despise it when we see it."
Well, you are right, these are indeed the hard-earned money of the folks.
The villagers shed so much blood. As the county magistrate, he should be sad.
"Master, are you okay?" Magistrate Zheng put away his greedy look and asked Master Qianliang.
Master Qianliang said: "Sir, let's do the math. The three jars of gold total 4,500 taels. If converted into silver, the total is 45,000 taels. According to Dachu's criminal law, such property confiscated from the house must be handed over six If it is given to the court, we can keep eighteen thousand taels, plus the Gao family's house, fields, and shops, we can use 19,300 taels of silver this time."
After hearing this, County Magistrate Zheng breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Nineteen thousand three hundred taels, although it is not enough, it can still help the villagers to some extent."
Then he looked at Qin Sanlang and said, "The incident with the Gao family has frightened those evil people in the county who want to take advantage of the farmers' property. Sanlang, you have made meritorious deeds again this time."
Shocking those evil people and preventing them from causing more chaos in Tianfu County is more important than nineteen thousand taels of silver.
As soon as the incident involving the Gao family came out, the county became much more peaceful. Even most of the villagers kneeling at the Yamen Gate left carrying the coffin.
After County Magistrate Zheng heard that half of the villagers had left, he understood everything. In addition to the Gao family, someone else had bribed the villagers and wanted them to cause trouble!
Magistrate Zheng was so angry that he almost exploded. He couldn't imagine that if the Gao family hadn't been confiscated, there would have been several families in the county that were even more vicious and difficult to deal with than the Gao family.
There is also the matter of General Liu Qi. If it is found out that there is something wrong with General Liu, that will be another great achievement.
"Sanlang, I'm afraid Tianfu County won't be able to keep you." Magistrate Zheng likes Sanlang Qin very much. With him under his control, Tianfu County is much cleaner and clearer. I don't even dare to do evil.
If Saburo left, there would be no one capable of suppressing him, and the bad guys in the county and bandits from other places might come and do evil if they heard the news.
After all, Tianfu County is one of the richest counties in the vicinity, and those evildoers have been grinding their teeth to grab it.
Thinking of these things, Magistrate Zheng had a headache.
Qin Sanlang smiled and said: "Don't worry, sir, before you leave office, I will not go to Fucheng to defend the army camp."
His plan in the past few years is to marry Xiaoyu, train people, and arrange things in Tianfu County. Only after everything is arranged, will he move forward.
After all, this step is a major matter that affects the life and death of several people. He must arrange everything properly and make it foolproof.
Magistrate Zheng was happy when he heard this, and sympathized with General Guo and Deputy General Lan: "General Guo and Deputy General Lan have been interested in you for several years. If you reject them again this time, Deputy General Lan will be very angry." Not light."
Qin Sanlang smiled and said: "No, there is also a good young man in the Fucheng garrison camp, named Zhong Yu. He is very good. If Lieutenant Lan takes care of him more, he can also train a good helper."
The Zhong family has money and two doting sons and younger brothers. When the national treasury is empty and the military pay in the south has been cut in half, the camp is in great need of Zhong Yu.
With him, he would have money and direct communication with the capital. In times of crisis, letters for help could be sent directly to Tianting, which was very beneficial to He'an Mansion.
If there is really trouble in He'an Prefecture or Tianfu County, Zhong Yu will be their life-saving straw.
Magistrate Zheng didn't know that Zhong Yu was the little overlord of the Zhong family. Hearing this, he just thought, ah, Sanlang is indeed a generous and good boy.
"Sir, Gao Huang and others are bringing them back." Jiang Xiaoqi came in to report.
Magistrate Zheng was overjoyed and immediately said: "Shengtang, the witch has been convicted, so that the case can be closed."
Then he said to the money and grain master: "Divide the money carefully and see how much each household can get. However, those who are rich and can pay the taxes do not need to divide it. It will be given to those who are too poor to expose the blame."
"Yes." Master Qianliang responded, and then he led the scribes to start settling the accounts.
Magistrate Zheng, Sanlang Qin, and Lieutenant Jiang went to the front court.
Magistrate Zheng didn't talk nonsense to Gao Huang. After presenting the evidence, he directly convicted her.
Gao Huang sneered: "It turns out that the Hong family really sold me out. Haha, you surnamed Hong thought that if the Gao family failed and I failed, would your daughter be able to escape the sea of misery? What a pity, I left you a Dali, when your daughter comes back, find a doctor to take her pulse, and then you will know what the Dali is."
"You, what are you talking about? What did you do to my daughter?!" Uncle Hong was extremely anxious and asked Gao Huang.
Mrs. Gao Huang admired his painful look for a moment and said with a smile: "It's nothing. I just gave your daughter some tiger and wolf medicine to prevent her from giving birth again in this life. So your daughter wants to remarry and live a peaceful life." , that’s a dream!”
This is why Gao Hong never got pregnant again after seven years of giving birth to her son.
"You, you vicious woman, you have such a vicious heart, why did you harm my daughter like this?!" Old Man Hong burst into tears. He still thought that after rescuing his daughter, he would marry her as an honest man, but he didn't expect it. The daughter was so harmed that she could no longer give birth.
This is her second marriage. If she can't have children, who will marry her?
"God, how can you be so cruel and make my daughter's life so miserable?" Mr. Hong beat his chest and said: "If my Hong family does something bad, you will be punished on me, so why bother harming my daughter? !”
After hearing this, County Magistrate Zheng was shocked. This Gao Huang family is really vicious. He actually used such despicable methods to harm people: "Come here, take Gao Huang family to the torture chamber for torture!"
It's not okay if this vicious woman doesn't get beaten up.
Gao Huang was not afraid at all. When she entered the Gao family and decided to help Gao Sanxiong, she never thought about a good end. However, she looked at Qin Sanlang and said: "You are smart, but you are full of evil spirits and have committed too many sins." , I guess it’s unlikely to end well!”
If it weren't for him, the Gao family would not have been defeated!
With a snap, Magistrate Zheng became angry: "You old pious woman, you are still cursing people at this time, you really have no conscience at all. Someone, please take her down quickly."
Even one more look at Magistrate Zheng makes him unappetizing.
"Yes." The government officials were also very angry with Gao Huang. They had never seen such a vicious old woman.
"My lord, my lord, the peasant women were unjustly accused. All the bad things were done by Gao Huang, an old pious woman, who forced the peasant women to do it." Chang Taohua was a shrewd person. Seeing that Gao Huang had been caught, she immediately lied: " If the common women don't help her do evil things, she will give them the medicine to kill their children. The common women are afraid that they won't be able to give birth, so they are forced to do things for her. What a miserable life it is for a common woman!"
You are so miserable. Among the four daughters-in-law of the Gao family, you are the one who has given birth to the most children. Who are you to blame for the fact that you still need the medicine to eliminate heirs?
