Chapter 478

Zou Chengzu looked at Zou Chengji and the others who were crying and cursing in the yard through the half-covered window, and felt extremely disgusted. Such a group of people turned out to be his blood relatives.

After a while, he withdrew his gaze and looked at Zou Lanhua who was beside him.Her face was pale, and her thin sunken face was full of panic, and she felt very uncomfortable.

In the past, Lan Hua was a gentle and generous lady, but now it's only been more than two months, but she is frightened into this appearance.

"Lan Hua, don't worry, we'll be able to leave here after a few more days." Zou Chengzu whispered to Zou Lanhua.

After Zou Lanhua heard this, the ashes in his eyes instantly dissipated, his eyes glowed, he looked at Zou Chengzu, and asked tremblingly, "Brother, what you said is true? We, can we really get out of here?"

How is this possible, the magistrate will not let them go.They belonged to the Zou family, and the grandfather had committed a serious crime against the nine clans. Not only would they die, but the relatives of the Zou family's hometown would also die.

Zou Chengzu nodded and said, "Well, it's true. Just wait with peace of mind. Grandpa and uncle won't watch us rot and die in the mud of the Zou family."

After mother's death, Bao's family came over. Although grandfather drove them away, grandpa and uncle would not stop there. They would definitely take this opportunity to make a fuss in Fucheng.

Zou Lanhua was not so optimistic, and said worriedly: "The county magistrate does not allow grandma and grandfather to reconcile, so even if grandpa and uncle want to save us, what can they do?"

Zou Chengzu didn't say much, but said firmly to Zou Lanhua: "You will not die here, you will definitely leave, don't worry and wait."

He has grown up, and maybe he won't be able to leave, but Lan Hua is a girl's family, and there is a [-]% chance that he will be picked up by his grandfather's family.

Zou Chengzu guessed right, the Bao family had already quarreled in Fucheng.

The old man of the Bao family had been paralyzed in bed for two years due to a stroke, but he asked his family servants to carry him to the Fucheng yamen, and personally appealed for grievances, suing the Zou family for murdering his daughter and abusing his grandson and granddaughter. Cut off the gown to judge righteousness, old age and death will not communicate with each other.

Mr. Bao is a Juren, and his family is a real heir to farming and studying. There are also many scholars in the family and among the three relatives.Now not only the old man Bao's family has come, but all the men of the Bao family and the scholars from the three relatives of the Bao family have come, and they all kneel outside the Fucheng yamen, even if Hu Tong judge refuses to accept the case.

After Mr. Bao was carried into the public hall of Fucheng Yamen, he handed over his family's certificate, and said tearfully, "My lord, the Zou family is not as good as a beast... My Mrs. Xian was forced to bump into her by the Zou family during the Qiqiao Festival." Zhu died... My grandson and granddaughter knew about the dirty things of the Zou family...Zou Youlian was afraid that the two children would tell the story, so he locked them up directly and sent his servants to abuse them...What do you want to do for them? The old man is in charge."

Mr. Bao was already unable to speak well, and this passage was spoken intermittently, but it was precisely because of this that it seemed particularly pitiful.

Hu Tongpan had a resolute face and a solemn expression. He flipped through the pleading paper handed over by Mr. Bao, and asked, "Is there any evidence?"

Although Hu Tongpan did not go to suppress the water bandits, he also knew that the case of the water bandits was a big deal. Now that the Bao family handed over the papers to sue the Zou family, he didn't need to think about it. The children were rescued.

The reason why the whole Bao family came is also very simple, it is to keep the whole Bao family.What Zou Xiancheng committed was a major crime of punishing the nine clans. Once convicted, the Bao clan would also be implicated.

Hu Tongpan felt that the Bao family was cheating him, but he had been in He'an Mansion for three years and knew that Mr. Bao was a good man, so he didn't feel disgusted.

"Yes." Uncle Bao immediately asked someone to bring a servant.

This person is Bao's dowry maid, and now she has become the lady in charge, and she presented two blood letters as soon as she entered the court.

One was written by Zou Chengzu about their brother and sister being imprisoned privately by the Zou family, and Zou Xiancheng's request to let his servants beat them every day.It was also written in the blood book that he begged the Bao family to save his sister, as long as he rescued his sister from the muddy pit of the Zou family, it would be fine for him to stay in the Zou family and suffer.

There is also a blood letter written by Bao Shi.

This is what Bao Shi bit his own hand and wrote on the inside of his sleeve before hitting the post. There were only ten words that were scribbled: Save the child, the Zou family forced me to hit the post to my death!

On the blood book, there is also a blood handprint of Bao Shi, which cannot be faked.

Zou Chengzu's blood book is okay, but Bao's blood book was written on the day of the collision. That day was the Qiqiao Festival on the seventh day of July. At that time, Zou Xiancheng had not been arrested.

Huang Niangzi cried: "The maidservant was changing clothes for Madam to enter the coffin. At that time, when she saw the blood book in the sleeve, she immediately cut off the sleeve and hid it with her. She hid it with her for two months. She only found a chance to run back to Fucheng a while ago. Send a letter to the Bao family."

Hu Tong ordered someone to examine the two blood documents, and took Bao's marriage letter from Fucheng Yamen to check the thread of fingerprints, and then asked people to accept Bao's blood document as evidence.

As for Zou Chengzu's blood letter, there is no thread of his handprint in the Fucheng yamen for comparison, so he can only accept it first, but it cannot be used as evidence.

Hu Tongpan stared at Huang Niangzi and asked: "The Bao family's blood book was found on the Qiqiao Festival. Why didn't you send the blood book to the Bao family at that time? After Bao's death, the Bao family once went to the Zou family to ask for justice. Why didn't you give the blood book to the Bao family?"

After saying that, he slapped the gavel, making Huang Niangzi tremble in fright, and hurriedly kowtowed and said, "Your Excellency, you clearly noticed that at that time, Zou Xiancheng was afraid that the news about him being a cuckold would be spread, so he kept watching over us. After the Bao family left, it took another month or so for us Bao family companions to leave the mansion occasionally, but the young master and young lady were always trapped in the mansion and were not allowed to leave the courtyard."

He also cried and told about how Zou Chengzu's brother and sister could only eat rotten porridge in Zou's house and were beaten severely by servants.

Hu Tongpan was too lazy to listen to her cry, so he slapped the gavel to silence her, and after asking Mr. Bao and Uncle Bao a few more questions, he said, "You also know about the case of Zou Xiancheng. , it’s not very easy to handle, I have to submit it to the magistrate for review before making a decision.”

Hu Tongpan took the case file and got up and went to the back of the government office to find Liang Zhifu, and told Liang Zhifu about the Bao family.

Governor Liang has been very busy recently, when he heard this, he frowned and said, "This Bao family will really find trouble for me."

However, Mr. Bao is a man who has taught many students in his life. He has some reputation in Fucheng.

Liang Zhifu could only take the case file and read it carefully, and asked: "The Bao family is so dissatisfied with the Zou family? After the death of the Bao family, did they deliver and leave the letter to the Fucheng yamen?"

Hu Tong judged: "I handed it over. It was July and a half. I handed it over just after the Zou family buried Bao. It was just stuck at the Zou family. The Zou family was not happy, saying that Bao had already been buried in Zou." There is no reason to enter the ancestral grave and reconcile with each other.”

He then handed over the copy of the Heli letter sent by the Bao family to Liang Zhifu.
