Chapter 1385 Having a Leg
But Jia Tongpan suddenly pointed at Chen Mao and said: "Chen, you are the son of the Xi Family Nursing Home. I can't believe what you say!"
Chen Mao was indeed the son of the Xi Family Nursing Home. After he came to take office with the Governor Xi, he was assigned to work as a yamen servant in the government office. Although he had not risen to prominence in the past few years, he was the confidant and informant of the Governor Xi.
Because of this, Chen Mao became the target of attack.
After hearing this, Hu Xueyao immediately cried: "Okay, you still said that you didn't join forces to murder my master? You asked the son of a slave to come out to testify, and all the words he said were unfavorable to my master. You are so vicious. That's all. Do you want to kill my master?!"
After hearing this, the people gathered around the gate of the government office began to discuss again: "Isn't this person a servant of the government office? How come he became a servant of the prefect?"
"Is it really the prefect who is trying to frame Jia?"
Magistrate Xi almost died of anger. The officials who were dispatched brought their clansmen, relatives, and retainers to take office. It was allowed by criminal law to arrange these people to serve as errands in the yamen. This was to allow the officials who were dispatched to control the entire yamen as quickly as possible and make it easier to handle errands. .
But Hu Xueyao is a powerful person. Even after she bit Chen Mao to death and accepted the order of Magistrate Xi, she deliberately led others to conspire to frame Jia Tongpan.
Shopkeeper Feng was sober now that the effects of the medicine had worn off. He cried out, "You are wronged! You are wronged!"
After Tang Tong heard this, he became angry and pointed at him and said: "Feng Shiwen, you have already confessed your crime in He'an Mansion. The He'an Mansion has sentenced you to be beheaded in public. How can you still dare to cry out for injustice?!"
what is this? Are you saying that their He'an government office deliberately wronged him?
But shopkeeper Feng ignored Tang Tongpan and only cried and complained about injustice, as if he had been beaten to death in He'an Mansion.
He has been sentenced to death. Seeing that things have turned around, he will naturally fight to the death.
Mrs. Lin also immediately started crying: "God, I have been innocent all my life and have only been with one man. Now I am framed as a prostitute with two men. My daughter and son-in-law are framed like this. What's the point of my life?" Let me die!"
He said that he was going to hit the pillar.
But before she hit her, several carriages came outside the government office gate.
A group of people got out of the carriage, led by a boy of about nine years old.
The child looks very good, like a New Year painting doll, but at this moment his face is cold, his eyes are not squinting, and he looks noble and aloof.
It's just that the weather is too cold and he is dressed like a ball, which is a bit funny given his appearance at this time.
"The witness is here, make way!" the nurse brought by the child shouted while clearing the way for him.
The child took the lead, leading the group of guards, followed by a middle-aged man wearing a long coat and coat. He ran into the government office with his head held high and his chest held high.
The boy knelt down and shouted loudly: "Student Gu Jincheng, together with witness Hu Dawen, pay homage to the prefect."
Then he said: "Sir, Master Hu wants to make meritorious deeds and expose the matter of Shopkeeper Feng raising foreign wives in various places to give birth to daughters and giving them to noble people. There is also a matter involving Shopkeeper Feng and Jia Tongpian colluding with the students' family wealth. This is Hu Dawen's confession. , please take a look at it, Lord Magistrate!"
Everyone present was shocked.
"What? Even Hu Xueyao's father came to testify against Shopkeeper Feng and Jia Tongpan, so is it true that Lin is serving two men?"
"Why serve two men? This Hu Dawen must be a husband in name only. If he wants to touch Mrs. Lin, it's just a dream!"
"Bah, how do you know he hasn't touched her? People named Feng don't often live in Jiangnan. Even if Hu Dawen slept with Lin, he wouldn't know."
Everyone is not at all interested in Shopkeeper Feng colluding with Jia Tongsuan to conspire with the Gu family. They are all gossiping about Shopkeeper Feng, Hu Dawen and Lin.
Mrs. Lin was shocked. She didn't expect Hu Dawen to come. She pointed at him and said, "Aren't you in Jiangnan? Why are you here?!"
Hu Dawen cursed: "Bah! You are allowed to come to Tong'an Mansion to meet Feng Shiwen, but I am not allowed to leave Jiangnan? I've had enough, I won't pretend anymore, and I will tell everything today."
Hu Dawen knelt down and told that Mrs. Lin was an auxiliary of shopkeeper Feng and that Hu Xueyao was shopkeeper Feng's biological daughter and was sent to Jia Tongpan as a concubine by shopkeeper Feng. He asked Hu Xueyao to inform Jia Tongpan that the Gu family was rich and persuade Jia Tongpan to join the conspiracy. Everything about taking away the Gu family's wealth was revealed.
In the end, shocking news was revealed that he and Mrs. Lin were indeed having an affair. Many things about Shopkeeper Feng's plan to seize the Gu family's wealth were told to him by Mrs. Lin while they were in bed.
Not to mention the common people, even Magistrate Xi was dumbfounded after hearing this, and sighed in his heart: Ah, I really slept there!
Hu Dawen was originally a servant bought by Shopkeeper Feng. After watching him for several years, he felt that he was loyal to him, so he let him pretend to be a couple with Lin.
But after pretending for so many years, shopkeeper Feng was away from Jiangnan all year round, so the two couldn't help it and slept together.
However, the two of them did not dare to have a child, so Shopkeeper Feng never found out about it for so many years.
But Hu Dawen had his own children, or two, a son and a daughter, who were born to a widow and were raised in the widow's house.
Originally, the shadow guards of the Dou family just kidnapped Hu Dawen, but Brother Cheng heard too much gossip in the village. When interrogating Hu Dawen, he thought that as a man, he wanted to have a son to carry on the family line, so he deceived Hu Dawen.
Unexpectedly, he actually lied about Hu Dawen having a child.
He used Hu Dawen's children to intimidate and induce him, saying that if he didn't want his son to be implicated, he would tell what he knew. After knocking down Shopkeeper Feng, he will rescue him and give him a sum of money so that he can recognize his son and live with him openly.
Hu Dawen could sleep with Lin, so he was not loyal. After listening to Brother Cheng's promise, he was tortured for a day and a night by the Dou family's shadow guard. He was tortured to the point of dying, so he had no choice but to agree.
After hearing this, Shopkeeper Feng's eyes were about to burst. He rushed over and grabbed Mrs. Lin's neck, cursing: "Bitch, you dare to cuckold me. If it weren't for me, you would still be a prostitute in the building. How can you live like a rich wife?" Days? I will kill you, kill you!"
This is a self-inflicted remark.
After hearing this, Hu Xueyao almost fainted. It's over, it's over, this time it's over!
However, she still wanted to fight to the death, so she rushed over, used her body to pretend to be shopkeeper Feng, and cursed: "Feng, why are you cuckolding me? My parents are a married couple, so they naturally sleep together. Don't make such nonsense. What an injustice!”
But it was too late. Hu Dawen had come forward to testify. Shopkeeper Feng also said in desperation that Lin was his concubine. Everyone knew the truth. Who still believed Hu Xueyao?
"Come here, pull them away!" Magistrate Xi yelled, cursing in his heart, "Damn, they are indeed a family, but they can really make a fuss."
Bantou Shi and the others immediately stepped forward and pulled Shopkeeper Feng away from Mrs. Lin.
"Bitch, I won't let you go, just wait for me!" Shopkeeper Feng was furious and yelled at Ms. Lin.
Mrs. Lin was still somewhat sensible and did not scold Shopkeeper Feng. Instead, she looked at Hu Xueyao and asked her to think of ways to get them out.
