After the divorce, I became the Lord of the Six Houses

Chapter 195 I Will Not Cover Chen Dan
Su Jingyan clenched her hands tightly, and said to Fang'er who was crying: "Don't be afraid, if Chen Dan really commits a life lawsuit, I will never forgive him. Can you tell me what happened at that time?"

Fang'er wiped her tears and said: "The ancestors of Taohua Village belonged to the Chen family, and our ancestors were all tenant farmers of the Chen family.

16 years ago, the uncle of the Chen family sympathized with us tenant farmers, so he signed a note, but any tenant who has rented the land for ten years can buy an acre of good land for a penny. "

Su Jingyan knew that one mu of fertile land in Qiantang cost eight or nine taels of silver, and one tael of silver was equivalent to Chen Jiabai giving away the fertile land.

Fang'er sobbed and said, "My grandfather bought ten acres of fertile land at that time, and our family lived on these fields, so life was easy.

Until September of the previous year, Chen Dan brought people to Taohua Village and said that he would take back the Chen family's fields.

My father was also grateful for the Chen family's help to the villagers of Taohua Village. If the Chen family refused to take it back, then we had nothing to say. My father discussed with the Chen family whether they could continue to rent the land as tenant farmers like their ancestors did.

But who knows that the Chen family said that it is okay to continue to be a tenant farmer, and they have to pay the rent for the past 15 years. One mu of land costs ten taels of silver, so that we can continue to farm.

But which farmer's family can come up with so much silver at once, allowing the Chen family to accommodate, but who knows that the Chen family is unwilling, and even pulls out the rice that my father has worked hard for a year.

Seeing that the rice harvest would be abundant, my father went to stop them from harvesting the rice, but was ordered to be beaten to death by Chen Dan..."

Su Jingyan listened to Fang'er's bitter cry and said, "Since you have already bought good land back then, no matter if you bought it at a cheap price or at the original price, it is already yours. What right does Chen Dan have to take it back?"

Fang'er wept and said: "It was the old man of the Chen family who did this back then. After the old man of the Chen family finished this matter, he went west. Therefore, Mr. Chen said he didn't know about it, and even if the villagers brought out the land deed, he would deny."

Fang Huaimin cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, Madam, the name of the Chen family is indeed written on the land deed of Taohua Village that was left in the government, but the land deed in the hands of the villagers is indeed signed by the uncle of the Chen family, and it should belong to the common people. field.

The officials went to find Mr. Chen about this matter, but Mr. Chen was not aware of this matter, so he asked the people in Taohua Village to inquire.

But at that time, people were killed, and those thorns in Taohua Village took advantage of Chen Dan, and some honest people did not dare to offend the Chen family, so all the people in Taohua Village testified for Mr. Chen.

And Mr. Chen also believed that Mr. Chen was just trying to get back the land of the Chen family.

As for Fang'er's father's life, everyone in the clan testified that Fang'er's father stumbled to death by himself, so this can only be left alone.

Moreover, Mrs. Chen said that the entire farmland in Taohua Village is only a fraction of the Chen family's family property, and Chen Dan has no need to kill people for this fraction of silver.

Your Majesty, Your Majesty, this is the land deed that Fang'er's father would rather die to protect..."

Xiao Yi took over the title deed. After 15 years, the paper has turned yellow. On it, Fang'er's grandfather's signature is crooked, but Zhu Hao's handwriting is beautiful.

Fang Huaimin continued: "Because of Mr. Chen's special status, I dare not arrest him easily even if the evidence is solid."

Xiao Yi said: "In this way, it is Fang'er's only opinion that killing people is caused by it?"

Looking at Xiao Yi's scrutinizing eyes, Fang'er knelt down and swore: "Minister dares to swear that if she speaks half a false statement, she will die a terrible death!"

Su Jing said: "Fang'er, don't worry, this matter is indeed a bit strange.

As my aunt said, the farmland of the entire Taohua Village is just a drop in the bucket in front of the Chen family's family property. Why did Chen Dan have to make a fuss about it?
Fang'er, what else do you know? "

Fang'er cried and said: "I won't sue, I won't sue, Mr. Chen is the mother's cousin, and the empress will definitely cover up the murderer of the Chen family, so I won't sue."

Seeing Fang'er's agitated expression, Su Jingyan asked Yingchun to go over to comfort Fang'er.

Fang Huaimin said: "Madam, Fang'er will not tell lies about this matter, what's the point of making false accusations like an orphan girl?"

Su Jing said: "I don't want to defend Chen Dan, but I think the reason why Fang'er's father's life was just for ten acres of land is really hard to convince.

My uncle and aunt are getting old. If Chen Dan is to be brought to justice for murder, he needs convincing evidence to convince the two elders. It cannot be that this palace and His Majesty believe that Fang'er can be convicted, only by her alone. Testimony is far from enough.

As for the land deeds of the Chen family's bullying and seizing farmland, the evidence is conclusive, and the palace will ask Chen Dan to return the stolen land to the people. "

Fang Huaimin had no choice but to agree.

Su Jingyan and Xiao Yi didn't stay in the magistrate's yamen for long, and they left the yamen.

Today is the Lantern Festival, but due to the national mourning, this year's Lantern Festival is not very lively. Although it is not as prosperous as in previous years, there are no shortage of lantern sellers on the street.

Staring at a small lantern every year will not take your eyes off it.

Xiao Yi saw Niannian in his arms looking at the lantern, and coaxed: "Niannian want a lantern? If you want it, call Daddy, and I'll buy it for you."

Niannian snorted, obviously he would rather not have a lantern than call him Daddy.

Su Jingyan looked at Niannian's expression, smiled and said to Xiao Yi: "You bullied her so much just now, how can it be so simple to want her to call you daddy now?"

Xiao Yi only knew that he was wrong, so he went forward and took Niannian to pick up the lantern. Niannian took a koi lantern in his small hand, and he was very satisfied to swing it in his hand.

Su Jingyan said to Xiao Yi: "Fang'er's words don't seem to be false, she doesn't need to falsely accuse Mr. Chen, but...how can I convince my uncle and aunt?"

Su Jingyan doesn't have much affection for her uncle and aunt, but her mother has a deep affection for her uncle and siblings.

After returning to Luoyang from Xiao Ting, my mother's health deteriorated one after another, and she was drugged by the fake Liu Xueyin, her body was already weak, how could she bear the blow of her nephew's accident?

Su Jingyan couldn't cover up Chen Dan, but she had to have solid evidence to convict Chen Dan.

Only in this way can the uncle and aunt be less sad, and can have an explanation in front of the mother.

Xiao Yi held Niannian with one hand, and put the other hand on Su Jingyan's shoulder, "Although it's a murder, but if you want to protect Chen Dan's life, it's not impossible."

Su Jing said: "Wouldn't that be the case of using power for personal gain as Yu Wenzhou said?
If Chen Dan really deserved his crime for killing someone, I would definitely not cover him up, even uncles and aunts will inevitably send white-haired people to black-haired people. "

Xiao Yi patted Su Jingyan on the shoulder, "Chen Dan did it all on his own, so take it easy, maybe that Fang'er really misunderstood the nonsense? Didn't she just yell and stop suing?"

Su Jing said: "Let Fang Huaimin check again to see if there are any villagers who are willing to come and testify."

Near noon, Su Jingyan and Xiao Yi sat down to eat in a small tavern next to the river in Qiantang City.

Under the eaves of the corridor, you can still see the black-covered boats passing by outside, and Niannian wears thick clothes lying on the window and looking at the boats outside.

The shopkeeper in the tavern came over and said in a Qiantang dialect: "Little girl, be careful and jump out."

Both Su Jingyan and Xiao Yi didn't understand Qiantang dialect, so the shopkeeper said in official language: "You two are young and don't understand the dangers of raising children. The most taboo thing for such a young child is to lie on the window. Don't look at the height of the window. This child It will take a while to fall out."

Su Jingyan hugged Nian Nian, who was lying on the window, into her arms, "Shopkeeper, the scenery here is pretty good."

The shopkeeper said: "The scenery is beautiful. I have opened the tavern here for 20 years. Now that I am too old, I am reluctant to close it. If my son still refuses to take over in two years, I will have to close it. "

At this moment, a thin man came in, walked up to the shopkeeper and cursed:

"His grandma's little emperor died as soon as he died. That Fang said that he wouldn't let the brothel open if there was a national funeral. If the brothel doesn't open if there is no Wushi San, he will really die!"

When Su Jingyan heard this, she glared at the thin man in front of her.

The shopkeeper tugged at his son, "If you say that, you will be beheaded if someone hears it. You should give up that five stone powder as soon as possible. They are all harmful things."

The skinny man cursed and said: "What is the ring? The brothel is closed due to the national mourning, and now five stone powder on the black market costs ten taels of silver a pack. Hurry up and give me the silver!"

Xiao Yi was shocked when he heard Wushisan. The Northern Wei Dynasty died in Wushisan. Wushisan was banned in previous dynasties. Why did Wushisan appear again?
