Chapter 1379 Xia Zhang
Mrs. Cen had calmed down and quickly lowered her head to apologize to Lu Chong: "It's my fault, sir, don't be angry."
After saying that, he hugged Sister Tang and trotted back to the Lu family's mule cart.
Mrs. Xia, the old slave of the Lu family, hurriedly went to pick up Cen and helped Cen onto the mule cart.
Mrs. Xia and the man were bought by Lu Chong at a low price when the floods were flooded five years ago. They also have a twenty-year-old grandson, who is now serving Lu Chong.
The family serves Lu Chong and his wife wholeheartedly.
The Xia family was also smart. They figured out the tempers of Lu Chong and Cen, and knew that neither of them was good at getting into trouble. They didn't dare to talk too much, eat too much, or meddle in others' affairs.
But even though Mrs. Xia carefully helped Cen into the mule cart, she was pinched hard by Cen several times in the car and cursed in a low voice: "You old man who only sees master's jokes, get out of here, madam. Today No eating allowed.”
Mrs. Xia was pinched very much, but it was not as severe as the pain in her heart.
I think that fifty years ago, she was from a good family, with land and a house in her family, but now she is in this situation. Even though she has worked hard, she is still beaten, scolded and abused by her master.
But Mrs. Xia didn't dare to resist. Mrs. Cen was holding back her grandson's marriage. If she disobeyed the old man, her grandson would never get a wife in this life.
Mrs. Xia lowered her head and got out of the car. She followed Mr. Xia and sat on the front panel of the car, silently crying.
Mr. Cen was still cursing in the car: "A dumb thing is an old thing who can't even say goodbye and is eating for nothing."
When she comes of age, let the Ding family pull out Mrs. Xia's tongue and make her a real mute so that you can't speak well!
Old Man Xia was used to this kind of scene. He ignored Mrs. Cen's curse and shook Mrs. Xia's hand, silently comforting her. He waved to his grandson who was looking over in front of him, telling him to stop looking and quickly follow Lu Chong.
Xia Zhang's eyes were red, and she felt very sorry for her grandparents. It was because of him that they silently endured Cen's abuse.
He told his grandma that even if he didn't marry a wife in this life, he didn't want to see the two of them suffer anymore.
But grandma refused, saying that he was the only male left in the family, and he had to marry a wife and have children to pass on the family's incense. Otherwise, who would offer incense to those family members who died on the way to escape the famine?
When Old Man Xia saw Xia Zhang still looking over here, he was extremely anxious and waved his hand desperately to him. Xia Zhang then turned around and ran forward with the soldiers.
He silently swore in his heart that when he arrived in the northwest, he would also go to the battlefield. As long as he achieved military exploits, he could apply to become a military household and leave the Lu family with his grandma. He could no longer watch his grandma live like a pig or a dog. It’s time!
…
While Gu Jinli and the others were heading west, Gu Jinan took Cheng Geer, Dou Shaodongjia, Qi Kangming, Gu Dexing, Gu Qingliang, Gu Qingtian, Tian Erqiang and others to He'an Fucheng to beat drums and complain.
When the ancient prefect learned that the person playing the drum was Gu Jinan, accompanied by Dou Shaodong's family and Mr. Ouyang's Asong, he immediately put down what he was doing and asked the yamen servants to take the papers and invite the people into the yamen. He told the yamen: "Remember to bring a chair to Dou Shaodong's house. Don't offend the God of Wealth."
You have to take good care of him, otherwise he will close Doou Bank in He'an Prefecture and open a bank in other prefectures, and he, the prefect, will be doomed.
"Yes." The government officials did not dare to neglect and hurriedly invited Dou Shaodong's family in.
Not long after, the ancient magistrate brought Tang Tongpan to the court to hear the case in person. When he saw that Dou Shaodong's family did not sit down, but looked ready to make a fuss, he felt a headache and hurriedly handed over the petition paper and Fang Xian Cheng. The mouth supply looked.
After reading this, the ancient magistrate breathed a sigh of relief and said: "This case is a frame-up caused by shopkeeper Feng of Changfeng Tower who was jealous of the Gu family's property. There are both witnesses and material evidence, as well as the victim's confession and the Tianfu County government trial. The dossier is very clear.”
No need for further review.
However, the ancient prefect still went through the motions according to the rules and interrogated those who pretended to be government officials before he sentenced the case.
The sentence was extremely severe. Shopkeeper Feng was beheaded in public, the entire Feng family sat together, the men were sent to work in the mines, and the women were made into slaves, and they were the lowest slaves.
When Shopkeeper Feng heard the verdict, he almost fainted and quickly shouted: "Sir, I'm wronged. This is a misunderstanding. It was all done by Chai Sanfu and has nothing to do with the villain!"
When Mrs. Chai heard this, she scolded: "Bah, it has nothing to do with you? Feng Shiwen, you have the nerve to say this? You are the mastermind. You just saw that the Gu family's business was so profitable, and you were so jealous that you couldn't sleep. You came up with this kind of thing." The method of poisoning and framing is to seize the Gu family's property so that they can seize the Gu family's property!"
In the past few days when she came to Fucheng from Tianfu County, Mrs. Chai finally saw clearly that the Gu family was not someone to be trifled with, and that the Dou Shaodong family was not a good person, but a person with hands and eyes that could reach the sky. If the Chai family did not want to become extinct, they had to Help the Gu family to kill Shopkeeper Feng.
Therefore, Mrs. Chai took the risk. After scolding Shopkeeper Feng, she hugged Chai Sanfu and cried: "Young and old men in Fucheng, look at it, my Sanfu was poisoned by Feng Shiwen and became like this. Feng Shiwen lied to him and said that those poisons It can only make people seriously ill for a few months, but it is not fatal. But what Feng Shiwen gave him was deadly poison. Look at my family's three blessings. I am about to die... Feng Shiwen, you must pay money. If you don't pay 10,000 taels, The old lady was killed in the court!"
Well, Gu Zhifu turned green after hearing this. He thought you were crying so miserably because you wanted Shopkeeper Feng to pay for Chai Sanfu's life, but he didn't expect you wanted money.
However, Mrs. Chai's words helped them a lot. With Mrs. Chai's words, the case was settled.
Chai Dafu has also been beaten badly in the past few days, and now he is crying with Mrs. Chai: "Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"”””” I have to lie in bed for the rest of my life. The Feng family must pay for the compensation and support my third brother's family for the rest of their lives!"
Chai Dafu and Mrs. Chai held Chai Sanfu, each howling louder than the other. They hugged the weak Chai Sanfu until he almost died.
Old Doctor Wu and Doctor Du hurried over and pulled them away: "Don't choke, Sanfu will die if he chokes again!"
After a few snaps, the ancient prefect also hurriedly patted the wooden door and said: "You lady, please shut up. This is a court, not a market, so there is no need to make any noise."
He added: "Your Chai Sanfu is an accomplice. He deserves to end up like this. There is no need to cry."
If I had known this, why bother?
You harmed someone, and after being caught, you complained that you were wronged. Do you think the yamen is a place that sells regret medicine? Feel free to regret it?
After hearing this, Madam Chai became anxious and asked, "Sir, what do you mean by this? Could it be that my family's Sanfu was killed like this and still can't get any compensation? We can't let my family's Sanfu be poisoned like this in vain, right?"
