Chapter 1387 Is He Really a Peasant Who Escaped From Famine?
"Yes." The clerk took the recorded confession to Jia Tong's judge.
Jia Tongpian refused to sign the bond, and struggled and shouted: "I'm wronged, I'm wronged, Mr. Xi, you deliberately framed me!"
Magistrate Xi's face turned dark. Damn, you are indeed a shameless person. Why are you still complaining at this time?
Bantou Shi was very smart and immediately removed Jia Tongpan's chin so that he could stop shouting.
The court clerk also cleverly took the opportunity to grab Jia Tongpan's hand, put Jia Tongpan's fingerprint on the confession, and then handed the confession to Magistrate Xi.
After seeing this, Magistrate Xi was very satisfied: "Detain Jia Mingfeng, arrest all the adult men in his family, and put them in jail together. The rest of the family members and servants will be imprisoned in the Tongpan Mansion, waiting for the approval from Dali Temple." Make a decision.”
"My lord, you caught him well! There is no good person in the Jia family. It is right that all the masters and servants of the Jia family should be thrown into prison!" The people at the Yamen Gate applauded one after another.
The Jia family used Jia Tongpan's official power to do many evil things. Everyone knew these things, but they were afraid of Jia Tongpan and did not dare to speak out, but they all hoped that the Jia family would get retribution.
With a snap, Magistrate Xi slapped the alarm, pointed at Shopkeeper Feng, Mrs. Lin, Hu Xueyao and others: "Come here, put them in prison and guard them well."
When Mrs. Lin heard this, she couldn't bear it any longer. She fainted and was carried to the cell by the yamen guards.
Hu Xueyao suddenly rushed towards Shopkeeper Feng when no one was paying attention.
With a bang, he knocked Shopkeeper Feng to the ground, stepped on his stomach, and cursed: "You idiot, everyone was killed by you! You don't deserve to die!"
Hu Xueyao exerted all her strength. Shopkeeper Feng screamed when she stepped on her, and blood gushed out from her mouth.
Everyone present was shocked.
"My God, this Hu Xueyao is really cruel. He is his biological father. He is so cruel to his biological father. Is he still not a human being?"
"Bah! How can Feng Shiwen be my father?!" Hu Xueyao scolded: "He is afraid of death and still wants to climb high. He raises his wife outside and even dares to find a servant after giving birth to a daughter. The father who pretends to be a child is afraid that if he fails to achieve success, he will be implicated by his son-in-law who does bad things. Feng Shiwen is a selfish person who only wants benefits and does not want to be implicated. I don’t have a father like him!"
Shopkeeper Feng traveled all over the country to do business when he was young. Thirty years ago, the criminal laws in Dachu were more severe. There were many innocent families who were implicated by their relatives, and finally the whole family was imprisoned as a slave.
Shopkeeper Feng was very afraid of this, and he knew very well that the higher he climbed, the greater the risk. In order not to harm his own family, he came up with this method.
In fact, this method was not the idea of Shopkeeper Feng. Many wealthy families would use this method to raise their children in order to save seeds for their own family.
"Convict woman, stop it!" Seeing that Hu Xueyao was about to step on Shopkeeper Feng again, Magistrate Xi hurriedly said to the officials: "Hurry up and tie her up in the prison cell!"
He is a ruthless person. If he steps on him again, he will really trample Shopkeeper Feng to death.
The government officials quickly restrained Hu Xueyao and dragged her to the cell.
Chai Dafu took the opportunity to cry: "Sir, I realize my mistake and I will never dare to do it again. I beg you to be merciful and spare me for once."
He didn't want to die, and he didn't want to work in the mines.
Magistrate Xi sneered: "Didn't you say before that as long as your son is not harmed? Now you want to beg for mercy. Are you afraid of death? If you are afraid of death, don't do evil."
Magistrate Xi was too lazy to tell Chai Dafu, and after asking the government servants to silence him, he said to Mrs. Chai: "You identified Shopkeeper Feng and helped find out that he and Hu Xueyao are biological father and daughter. I will report the truth to Dali in the capital." Temple. As for whether you will be considered guilty of meritorious service, it depends on the approval of Dali Temple."
Then he pointed at Hu Dawen and said: "You are the same. Come on, take them down."
Hu Dawen was very scared when he saw that he was also going to be thrown into jail, but he felt relieved after the fear... Brother Cheng from the Gu family said that even if he was caught, he would give Widow Lu his reward and let him The children have no worries about food and clothing.
Therefore, Hu Dawen stopped making trouble and was taken to the cell honestly.
Mrs. Chai cried loudly, but did not complain and beg for mercy. She seemed to have truly repented. When the yamen came to take her to the cell, she did not make any more noise.
The government officials came to the yamen gate and chased the spectators: "The case is over. Let's go. Don't surround the yamen. If you continue to surround the yamen, you will be taken to the cell and locked up with Jia Tong and others!"
The common people are afraid of officials, and after hearing this, they dare not watch the fun anymore.
But there is no excitement here, there is still one at Jia’s house.
"Hey, Team Leader Shi and the others are out. They must be going to Jia's house to capture Jia Tongpan's sons. Let's go, let's not be stuck here, and hurry up to Jia's house to watch the fun!"
Someone in the crowd yelled. After hearing this, everyone saw Shi Bantou coming out with dozens of government officials, and hurriedly rushed to Jia's house in front of the government officials.
Magistrate Xi's face turned dark. When did the people of Tong'an Mansion become so fond of watching the excitement? Could it be that he was infected by people from He'an Mansion?
"Master Su, you go with me. If the Jia family dares to cause trouble, they will be bundled together and sent to prison." Magistrate Xi explained, straightened his official uniform, and withdrew.
"Hey." Master Su responded, and hurriedly took two boys with him and followed Shi Bantou and others to Jia's house.
Gu Jinan and the others did not go, but wanted to thank Magistrate Xi: "Student, thank you, Magistrate, for handling the case impartially!"
Magistrate Xi, hehe, Ming Shaoqing is not a vegetarian. Can I not handle the case impartially?
"Gu Xiucai, please get up quickly. You are going to do big things in the future. It's cold today, so you can't break your legs and feet." After looking at Gu Jinan for a while, Magistrate Xi said these meaningful words.
Gu Jinan's expression remained unchanged. After standing up, he smiled and said to Magistrate Xi, "Your Majesty, you are serious. The student is just a scholar. It is still unknown how he will go in this life."
After saying this, he looked at Brother Cheng again and said, "Come quickly and thank the magistrate."
Brother Cheng took a few steps forward and saluted Magistrate Xi solemnly: "Student Gu Jincheng, thank you so much, Magistrate, for redressing the grievances of the student's family."
Magistrate Xi looked at Brother Cheng and praised him: "Yes, he looks like a Qilin. His future prospects will be as good as your brother's."
Magistrate Xi is telling the truth. If it weren't for Gu Jincheng escorting Hu Dawen in today, this case would probably have to be discussed again.
Then asked: "How old are you?"
Brother Cheng replied: "I will be nine years old in a few days."
After saying that, she smiled a little, her eyes were crooked, her face was round, and she looked very cute.
Magistrate Xi was shocked. At just nine years old, he had the courage to escort Hu Dawen to testify in court, and he was able to suppress Hu Dawen and find out that Hu Dawen had a child. Gu Jincheng was really incredible.
Look at this appearance and the nobility, he is not inferior to the children of the aristocratic family.
Is this really a peasant who escaped from famine?
Magistrate Xi couldn't help but ask in his heart.
