Fleeing the wasteland and farming: don't panic, the family's metaphysics boss

Chapter 245 The Dust Has Settled

After Su Zhen returned to the inner hall, his legs were still shaking. Although it was a hot day, his whole body was cold. He hurriedly asked the servant to bring two cups of hot tea, and holding the hot tea, he spilled the tea all over his hands tremblingly. , and had to put down the teacup.

"Brother Wei, I have lived most of my life, but I have never seen the strange image of today."

Wei Pingxiao said with a sullen brow: "Don't you think, that one is a bit weird?"

Su Zhen thought for a while, and said strangely: "The one from Xianshi's family? What's so weird?"

Wei Pingxiao said affirmatively: "I guess he was the one who guided this matter from the beginning to the end, no matter it was the witness or the corpse. Since he is in the same family as the immortal master, he must also understand the magic of immortality. It seems unbelievable to me, but to him, it might just be a trivial skill."

Su Zhen didn't care and said: "Whether he guides or not, an unjust case has been solved. Now, I only have one thought, and I must send my youngest son to the mountain pavilion in the next year. I have to admit that the world has changed. .”

Wei Pingxiao took a long breath, "I didn't want to worry about it either. I know what his intentions are. He Mengyou beat someone to death and was kept in hiding for half a year. If it wasn't for him, the mother and son would have died in vain for the rest of their lives. This is also true. Good job."

"Isn't he the eldest son of He? Why did he become a family with the immortal master?" Su Zhen was a little surprised.

Wei Pingxiao also shook his head in confusion, "Hearing his tone, he doesn't admit that he is the eldest son of He. Maybe there are other secrets in it."

Su Zhen thought for a while, and then said: "Are you really going to sentence He Mengyou to death? The He family must want to pay for insurance. Maybe they will ask to go to the state pastoral mansion."

Wei Pingxiao denied it: "He Wanming is not that stupid, the evidence for this matter is solid, not only did he not dare to ask to go to the State Shepherd's Mansion, but he would also give up He Mengyou for the sake of the He family.

Besides, if the Son of Heaven breaks the law, he is as guilty as the common people. He is just a mere merchant. Do I still have to worry about his family? "

Su Zhen nodded slowly, took a few sips from the teacup, "That's true."

But he said that since He Mengyou was summoned away, He Wanming has been restless at home. He always felt that things were not easy, especially after waiting for more than an hour and no one came back. He felt something was wrong, so he quickly sent someone to inquire.

But before the inquirer brought back the news, the people from the yamen came to the door again, this time, it was rumored that he would go to court.

He Wanming became more and more uneasy, and stuffed an ingot of gold into the yamen servant's hand, wanting to ask why.

But the yamen servants refused to accept them, they just urged him to hurry up.How did he know that the yamen servant has seen strange things in the courtroom, and now he dare not do anything wrong with his conscience.

Even gold can't buy the news, He Wanming has no choice but to follow the yamen servant to Hucao yamen honestly.

As soon as he entered the courtroom, He Wanming saw his grandson tied to the tiger stool, and He Zhi was kneeling beside him shivering. As for He Yijiu, who was huddled in a corner, he didn't even see him.

Although he had already made psychological preparations, seeing his grandson suffer so much, He Wanming was still quite shocked.Then seeing Wei Pingxiao sitting in the courtroom, He Wanming's heart sank to the bottom of the valley.

However, he endured it, knelt down and kowtowed in fear.

Wei Pingxiao didn't talk too much, and bluntly stated the crime of He Mengyou's dead body and two lives, and also presented the testimony of the witnesses, and finally questioned He Wanming about the crime of covering up.

Although He Wanming had already guessed that things would go badly, he never expected that the entire He family would be involved.

Although the He family is rich, they are unable to compete with the officials, the evidence is conclusive, not to mention that Wei Pingxiao is also clear to him, he has no choice but to plead guilty.

"The grass-roots are guilty." He Wanming yelled bitterly, kowtowed and said: "The He family has such a vicious person. As the head of the family, the grass-roots cannot escape the blame. Please punish the grass-roots according to the law. The grass-roots dare not say a word complain."

He Mengyou felt cold all over, and said in horror: "Grandpa, please save me, I don't want to die, Grandpa, please save my grandson."

He Wanming straightened up, slapped He Mengyou's face twice, and said angrily, "Shut up, murder pays for life, and you return one corpse and two lives, what face do you have to beg for mercy?"

"Grandpa, I'm your grandson, you can't just ignore death, grandpa. Don't we have a lot of silver in our family? Please help me, grandpa, I beg you, please help me." He Mengyou cried howl.

He Wanming didn't pay any attention, but kowtowed to Wei Pingxiao again, "My lord, there is such a bad boy in the family, the grass people are deeply saddened.

Although the He family didn't know about this matter, this son's crime of murder cannot be changed. From now on, the grassroots will expel this son from the He family tree.Caomin implores the adults to punish, and let Caomin make atonement for the mother and child who died unjustly. "

When it breaks, it breaks.Although Wei Pingxiao knew it was too deliberate, the He family's business involved a lot. Once the He family fell, many people would be greatly affected. He had no reason to remove the He family. As long as the person involved pleaded guilty and executed, that would be enough.

Sui said: "He Mengyou murdered and paid for his life. The evidence is conclusive, and he is sentenced to death. The He family cannot escape responsibility, but I think you don't know it. I only fine you ten thousand taels of silver."

He Wanming kowtowed, "Grassmen kowtow thank you sir."

He Mengyou exclaimed: "Grandpa, no, grandpa, I don't want to die, grandpa, why are you so cruel, I am your own grandson, you just abandon me like this, can you have a good conscience?"

He Wanming said bitterly: "Don't call me grandpa, you are no longer the grandson of the He family, and the He family does not have such a black heart like you."

He Mengyou was stunned, and after a few moments of stunned, he began to curse: "You old man, your heart is made of stone mill, your grandson is about to die, and you still hand over the money, old man, I curse you to be short-lived, short-lived!" .”

He Wanming looked at the crazy He Mengyou in astonishment, and after a while, he yelled angrily, "Nizi." His whole body trembled so much that he could hardly kneel steadily.

He Zhi hurriedly supported him and moved his back for him, with a look of great pain on his face.

He Wanming knelt on the ground and cried bitterly, "The He family is unfortunate, the family is unfortunate. God, what did I do wrong, what did I do wrong to raise such a rebellious son."

Wei Pingxiao also sighed softly and "retired", which closed the case.

He Mengyou was escorted off the court by the yamen servant, and he was still cursing, every sentence getting worse and worse.

He Wanming lost his strength in grief, and knelt on the ground in a daze until everyone left, leaving only him and the steward He Zhi in the hall.

"Master, let's go back." He Zhi choked up.

In front of the old steward, He Wanming couldn't help but burst into tears, "What can I do, he killed someone, should I take the whole He family for him?
Am I really hard-hearted?Am I really unforgivable?So one of them ran away from home, and the other cursed me to death? "

He Zhi also burst into tears and snot, "Master, it was the young master who did something wrong."

He Wanming remained silent for a while, finally wiped away his tears, and stood up tremblingly.

He Zhi held him tightly, "Master"

"Yes." He Wanming walked out step by step.

He Zhi was silent for a while, before saying: "I'm worried about the old lady, I'm afraid I can't bear it."

He Wanming said slowly and weakly: "She is sensible."
