Reborn Nongmen's little lucky wife

Chapter 458

"Of course we were arrested. If we hadn't been arrested, do you think we can watch the fun here? We were chased away by Zou Xiancheng long ago. Look, who is chasing us now."

"Old Xu is right. The Zou family is the most domineering. They always like to pay attention to the difference between officials and people. If Zou Xiancheng was arrested and no longer qualified to give orders, he would have sent us away long ago. .”

Zou Xiancheng listened to the words of the people around him, his face was terribly gloomy, but he knew that he was at a disadvantage now, and Jiang Dahu had a grudge against him, even if he asked Jiang Dahu to drive away these spectators, Jiang Dahu would not agree, and Will laugh at him in turn.

Zou Xiancheng would not do such a self-inflicted humiliation thing. He just looked forward and walked with his head held high, as if he was innocent and he was falsely accused by Zou Jiang.

Jiang Xianwei glanced at Zou Xiancheng and sneered in his heart.Sure enough, it was an old fox, pretending to be an upright gentleman being framed at this time, but it's a pity that Zou Xiancheng's imprisonment is destined.

Zou's Mansion is not far from the county government office, but because there were too many people watching the excitement along the way, Zou Xiancheng and his party took a full two quarters of an hour to reach the county government office.

The county magistrate Xu had been waiting for County Captain Jiang to escort the person, and when he saw the person arrived, he immediately patted the gavel: "Silence, silence, declare Zou Youlian to go to court."

A group of yamen servants at the head of Yang's team opened the way, and Jiang Xianwei brought Zou Xiancheng to the court.

Zou Xiancheng is still an official, there is no need to kneel down, he walked straight into the court, looked at the county magistrate Xu in the hall, bowed and said: "Please refer to your lord for a humble position. There is injustice for a humble position. If you want to sue Zou Jiang for false accusations of a low position, please sir accepted."

As he said that, he took out the pleading paper that he had written earlier and hidden in his skirt, and handed it to County Magistrate Xu.

Seeing this, Master Shao immediately said: "Master County Magistrate, Shao has a reputation as a scholar, and he can serve as a litigator for Zou County Cheng. I ask County Magistrate Xu to accept this case."

The county magistrate Xu accepts all lawsuits against the officials. If the case against Zou Jiang by the county magistrate Zou is not accepted, then the county magistrate Xu is using his power to murder the assistant official. up.

As soon as the words between Zou Xiancheng and Master Shao came out, not to mention the people watching the excitement, even the magistrate Xu was shocked and sneered in his heart.He knew that Zou Xiancheng was a tyrant in Tianfu County, but he didn't expect it to be this far, and Zou Xiancheng even made a counter-suit.

Master Tian was already so angry that he almost pointed at Zou Xiancheng and yelled at him, how could Zou be so vicious, he actually gave them this trick.

Jiang Xianwei and Zou Xiancheng have worked together for half their lives. They know Zou Xiancheng's shamelessness. Hearing this is not surprising. The old god said: "Zou Youlian, you said that Zou Jiang falsely accused you, do you have evidence? No evidence Just say that others have falsely accused you, and you really know how to complain. You should know that Zou Jiang sued you, but the evidence is conclusive."

Master Tian immediately came to his senses and reminded County Magistrate Xu: "My lord, present the evidence, smash the evidence directly, and put Zou in prison first."

The one surnamed Zou complained back as soon as he came, it was a tough nut to crack, and they couldn't spend too long with him in court.If this drags on for a long time, it is inevitable that Zou will give birth to other moths.

County Magistrate Xu immediately said: "Master Jiang is right, everything comes first and then first. Since Zou Jiang sued you first, then he should deal with his pleadings first. Come on, present the evidence."

Master Tian immediately explained Zou Jiang's crimes against Zou Xiancheng.

"Zou Jiang, formerly known as Jiang Sheng, sued Zou Youlian for embezzlement and perverting the law during his tenure. One thousand six hundred acres, 400 houses, 57 shops."

Mr. Tian pointed to the wooden box on his desk and said: "This is the account book submitted by Jiang Sheng, which clearly records the amount of Zou Youlian's greed for ink, and there are five letters written to the officials of Hukou Town, Xianggui Town, and Yonglu Town The letters written by Fang scribes, several village chiefs and village chiefs are evidence that Zou Youlian conspired with them to seize villagers’ fields, houses and shops.”

"We have checked these letters and account books. The fields, houses and shops mentioned in the account books are all true. Now [-]% of these things are under the name of the Zou family, and [-]% are under the name of Mr. Shao's wife. As for those who are not Those under the names of the Zou family and the Shao family, my lord will send someone to investigate."

"And the handwriting on the letter was written by three people, the other two were not found, but one of them is Master Shao."

After Master Tian finished speaking, he looked at Master Shao with a pale face, and said with a smile: "Master Shao, you don't have to be a litigator for Zou Xiancheng anymore. Come on, tie up Shao Qizhuang and let us hear the trial together!"

"Yes." The three yamen servants rushed over immediately, tied up Mr. Shao who was still in a daze, and put him on the ground.

Master Shao suffered knee pain and finally came to his senses, shouting: "I am wronged, I am wronged, I am wronged for not helping Zou Xiancheng to commit corruption and pervert the law!"

I'm really afraid of what will happen. Master Shao has helped Zou Xiancheng to do a lot of evil things over the years and gained a lot of benefits. Today, when Zou Xiancheng was sued by Zou Jiang, he began to be afraid, afraid that he would be implicated, so he invested in it together. prison.

The county magistrate Xu said: "If you are wronged or not, you have your own evidence to speak. If you have evidence to prove your innocence, I will handle it impartially and release you in court. If not, you will have to be detained for trial."

"These are just obtained by corrupting the law. Over the past few decades, Zou Youlian has also committed the crimes of using power for personal gain, collecting money to murder people, and taking advantage of his position in charge of corvee labor to enslave good people in corvee labor and sell them to the south of the Yangtze River!"

Master Tian pointed to another wooden box containing evidences and said: "These are the evidences that Zou Youlian used his goodness as a lowly one to sell good people!"

The people around the gate of the yamen were completely shocked when they heard this, and they were very angry. They pointed at the county magistrate Zou and said, "Zou Youlian, you old bastard, you actually took the good people who went to serve the corvee as slaves and sold them, don't you?" people?!"

"Hey, my second son didn't come back after serving corvee more than ten years ago. The government said that he was dead, but my second son didn't even have a corpse. Is he dead or was Zou Youlian pretended to be dead? Slave and sold?!"

"It's the same with my eldest son, who doesn't see people alive or dead..."

"My man is the same. He hasn't come back since he went to serve corvee. My father-in-law and mother-in-law have gone to the yamen to ask many times, but they can't ask anything every time. I want to go to the place where my man is in corvée, but the yamen doesn't know anything at all. Give me the address. Because of this incident, my parents-in-law are dying. It has been 20 years, and my son has married and given birth to a son, but his father’s body has not been found yet. The grave is buried in my family’s A man's suit."

"Wuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuhou

Other people whose family members went to serve corvee but were said to be dead, but did not bring their bodies back were all furious, and rushed into the yamen like crazy to ask Zou Xiancheng for an explanation.
