Chapter 1388 Dare to Put on Airs
But it was just a doubt. He was very busy now and had no time to pay much attention to Brother Cheng.
Magistrate Xi withdrew his gaze and looked at Tang Tongpuan and Fang Xiancheng: "Thank you for your hard work. This case will take two or three days to be processed before the files can be sent to Dali Temple. You will have to stay for another two days."
Tang Tongpan and the others were here to handle this matter, so they naturally had no objections and nodded in agreement.
Brothers Dou Shaodong and Gu Jinan also stayed, and were arranged by Magistrate Xi to rest in the backyard of the government office.
They were able to rest, but Tongxuan Mansion was in chaos.
"It's unfair, it's unfair. It's my father and that bitch Hu Xueyao who committed the crime. We are innocent, you can't arrest us!" The Jia family's sons shouted injustice at the top of their lungs.
Shi Bantou was so noisy by them that his head hurt, and he shouted: "Stop arguing! Dachu's criminal law stipulates that all male members of the criminal family who are over seven years old must be thrown into prison. It's useless for you to shout at your throat!"
The Jia sons didn't listen at all and kept shouting.
Boss Jia also warned Bantou Shi: "Shi, you are just an errand boy. We are the young masters of the official family. Even if my father is arrested, Dali Temple has not re-approved it, and we have not broken the law. You have no right to punish us." Catch him!"
Bantou Shi smiled and pointed at Jia Laodaodao: "Are you deaf? Didn't you hear what I just said? Our Da Chu has a continuous sitting system. Do you understand what the continuous sitting system is? Your father broke the law and you are his sons. He’ll be caught too.”
He looked at Mr. Jia again and sneered: "Besides, you, Mr. Jia, have really never violated the Dachu criminal law? Then who planned to go to the Yang family shop? How did Aunt Zhang in your house come from? Just these This thing is enough to kill you several times, but you still dare to cry out for injustice? Do you think your father is still a master of justice?!"
The upper beam of the Jia family is out of alignment and the lower beam is crooked, and none of the grown-up sons are good.
Boss Jia is plotting against other people's shops and other people's daughters.
Jia Lao'er robbed an Orion's new wife. It turned out that Orion was a hot-tempered man. He was so angry that he sneaked into the Tongpan Mansion in the middle of the night and wanted to kill Jia Lao'er. However, he was caught by the Jia family guard and stabbed him randomly. Hacked to death.
But the Jia family is fine. After all, breaking into an official's mansion is a capital crime, and beating him to death is not a crime.
When the hunter's wife learned that her husband had died, she was so distraught that she found an opportunity to commit suicide by throwing herself into a well. The well in Jia's backyard is still sealed with a stone slab, and she doesn't dare to use it anymore.
And Jia Laosan...
"Hey, where is Jia Laosan? Why aren't you here?!" Team Leader Shi asked the government officials after looking at the kidnapped Jia family son and realizing that one person was missing.
A yamen servant replied: "Board leader, Jia Laosan is not in the house. We have sent people to look for him, but he hasn't been found yet."
As soon as he finished speaking, a burst of exclamations, noises, and shouts came from in front of the Tongpan Mansion. Team leader Shi frowned and called to the two government officials: "Let's go out and take a look."
The gate of Tongpan Mansion was really lively. A large group of people gathered around Tongpan Mansion to watch the excitement. Shopkeeper Luo and his sons were dragging Jia Laosan to the gate of Tongpan Mansion.
Jia Laosan's mouth was gagged with a dirty rag, his hands and feet were tied, like a pig waiting to be slaughtered, and he glared at Shopkeeper Luo and his family angrily.
After seeing Bantou Shi and Master Su coming out, he hurriedly shouted, hoping that Bantou Shi and Master Su would come over and save him.
It was impossible to save him. When Bantou Shi and Master Su saw him being tied up, they laughed loudly and said to Shopkeeper Luo: "Well done, we are looking for Jia Laosan. You have helped the government office." Bundle."
With a plop, Shopkeeper Luo and his sons knelt down and cried: "Botou Shi, Master Su, you have to make the decision for my Ju Niang this time!"
His Ju Niang was a good girl, but she was raped by Jia Laosan and was eventually killed by the Jia family.
His family also had troubles, but the officials protected each other. The government government betrayed Jia Tong to save face and did not arrest Jia Laosan. His family couldn't stand the trouble, so for the sake of the family's livelihood, they had no choice but to endure it.
Now that Jia Tong has been sentenced, it would be unjust if the government continues to fail to handle the case impartially!
Master Su was a confidant of Prefect Xi and was in charge of punishment. He knew very well that Shopkeeper Luo's daughter was killed by the Jia family. He hurriedly said: "Shopkeeper Luo, get up. The prefect already knows about your family's grievances. It's We were ordered to arrest Jia Laosan and avenge your family!"
Master Su said this in a loud voice and wanted to tell everyone that Magistrate Xi and Jia Tongpan were not on the same side. Magistrate Xi was a good official and was handling cases impartially.
However, shopkeeper Luo and his family were sneering in their hearts. What a good official. If they were good officials, they would not protect Jia Tong and serve a few years in prison.
But their faces were full of gratitude: "Thank you so much, sir!"
There was nothing they could do, they were just common people, they couldn't offend the prefect, and all they wanted was for Ju Niang to clear the air. Seeing that their goal was achieved, they would naturally stop causing trouble.
Jia Laosan was dumbfounded and screamed: How could this happen? Why didn't Master Su help him? Could it be that his father really collapsed?
"What the hell, you smell like rouge and gouache. You are looking for a woman in the building again." Team Leader Shi rushed over and kicked Jia Laosan several times.
When Jia Laosan was dragged out of the building by Shopkeeper Luo and his family, he had already been beaten. Now he was kicked several more times. One of them failed to hold on and fainted.
Captain Shi made a sound and called to the two government officials: "Throw Jia Laosan into the mule cart. He will be transported back to the government office later and thrown into prison."
"Yes." The two yamen servants quickly lifted Jia Laosan and threw him into the yamen's mule cart.
Shopkeeper Luo and his family cried with joy when they saw this.
Ju Niang, we have avenged you!
When the people watching the excitement heard the cries of Shopkeeper Luo and his family, they felt sad. While comforting Shopkeeper Luo and his family, they cursed Jia Tongpan and his family.
Master Su was afraid that the conversation would change and they would start scolding him and Magistrate Xi, so he hurriedly lowered his head, walked softly, and led the people into Tongxuan Mansion.
Then he whispered to the accompanying boy: "Go and tell your lord what is going on here, and ask your lord to send someone to spread the word quickly. He said that what happened at Shopkeeper Luo's house was all caused by Jia Laosan, whom Jia Tongpan had single-handedly protected, and Magistrate Xi." It doesn't matter."
If there is no direction, there may be rumors in the city that Magistrate Xi is shielding Jia Laosan, which would be bad.
"Hey." The boy hurriedly went to do it.
In the Tongpan Mansion, Mrs. Jia was wearing imperial uniform and was surrounded by several daughters-in-law. She was sitting in the main room of the main courtyard and shouted angrily at the government officials who were about to enter the house to search: "Stop, I am still the imperial wife who was conferred by the imperial court. Who is it?" If you dare to enter my wife's house, I will beat him to death! If you go to the capital to complain, your whole family, or even the whole clan and the whole village will be arrested!"
Don't tell me, these words coupled with the official uniform are quite capable of bluffing people. The government officials who were about to enter the house were afraid and retracted their feet. For a while, they did not dare to enter the house.
