Help!Master Chief Assistant's Jiaojiao is a black widow

Chapter 58

Ye Chengwei looked at Zhang Xiu and Xiaowazi, who were in fear in the hall, and waved to Lu Xiuyuan, the official historian.

After Lu Xiuyuan came close to him, he asked in a low voice, "Is this Xiu really Zhang Yuan's nephew?"

"indeed so."

Lu Xiuyuan replied in a low voice: "The official has gone to Maoyuan Village to verify that there is indeed such a nephew in front of Zhang Yuan who has been living in the old house, but he will visit Zhang Yuan in the village from time to time. All the villagers in Maoyuan Village recognize him. .”

As he spoke, he looked at the little baby who was crying silently under his eyes, and said with a frown: "As for this young master, I don't know about it. According to the villagers of Maoyuan Village, Zhang Yuan never mentioned any heirs in his family before his death." Case."

"So, Zhang Yuan is not from Maoyuan Village?"

Ye Chengwei questioned.

"I moved to Maoyuan Village a few years ago, because Maoyuan Village is close to the county town to facilitate business."

Lu Xiuyuan replied: "And the relationship between Zhang Yuan and the murderer Han Chun's family is pretty good."

"Since it's good, why did Han Chun kill Zhang Yuan?"

Ye Chengwei asked again.

Lu Xiuyuan replied again: "According to Han Chun's account, it was because of some tongue-in-cheek and manslaughter."

"I see."

Ye Chengwei nodded suspiciously.

Although the Yazhong officials all believed that Han Chun had asked the advice of an expert to hide Zhang Yuan's head on purpose, and only said in his statement that it was manslaughter, but he still felt that there were too many strange things in this case.

Now that he has admitted to manslaughter, why did he hide the head.

And the behavior of the two cousins ​​made him even more weird.

After thinking for a while, he regrouped his thoughts, fixedly looked at Brother Zhang Xiu, and said tentatively: "Zhang Xiu, your uncle is dead, so Han Chun didn't intend to murder, but manslaughter. You see, this is good. The county released Han Chun and let the Han family try to raise a sum of money to compensate the Zhang family, what do you think of the county's judgment?"

"Big"

Zhang Xiu fell into hesitation.

The rest of the people were also surprised, and they almost scolded the dog officer.

"Please answer the county's question head-on."

Ye Chengwei lowered his face and urged.

He didn't care about the eyes of others.

Zhang Xiu was taken aback in shock, and nodded hesitantly: "Alright."

He raised his head and looked solemnly at the courtroom, and then said in detail:
"The grass people heard that the Han family is not rich. If Han Chun is killed, the Han family may not be able to pay any more money. My uncle just moved to Maoyuan Village and the brothers of the Han family helped him a lot. I want to come to Han Chun really didn't intend to kill Uncle, and Cao Min is not unreasonable, uncle has been dead for so many years, we can't let this cousin of Cao Min lose all hope for a moment of hatred."

"I understand, I understand."

Ye Chengwei frowned and nodded.

It's really a person who can forget everything for money.

After some doubts, he looked thoughtfully at the crying little milk baby next to him: "Young master, do you agree with what your brother said?"

The little guy's face was dirty, and while wiping a few dry tears, he raised his eyes and looked around the crowd.

After looking at Zhang Xiu for a few seconds, he turned to face the court and replied firmly: "My lord, I will listen to my cousin."

"Very good."

Ye Chengwei pursed his lips and smiled bitterly: "Then how much money are you two brothers planning to claim from the Han family?"

"Three 300 taels."

Zhang Xiu carefully looked at Ye Chengwei: "This cousin of mine has just turned five years old, and he will have to study, marry a wife and have children in the future, the basic necessities of life, the dowry, the construction of a new house, etc., needless to say. Get this number."

Ye Chengwei and everyone frowned at this: They were just about to end up giving this little kid a pension.

Zhang Xiu felt that his explanation was not detailed enough, so he added: "My lords, there are three brothers in the Han family. It is not too much for a family to collect 100 taels of silver to protect one life?"

"Hey, Zhang Xiu, are you seeking justice for your uncle today or are you looking for someone to extort money?"

Tang Haoran was so angry that his face turned pale, and he said furiously.

Ye Chengwei raised his hand lightly: "It's not too much, the county will go to discuss with the Han family in person, you two brothers go back and wait for news."

After all, he got up and turned into the inner hall.

Lu Xiuyuan followed closely behind, always feeling that the magistrate's judgment today was a bit outrageous, how could anyone just pay money for killing someone.

If things go on like this, there will be no such thing as killing people to pay for their lives in the future, and it will become a way for rich people to use money to kill people to vent their anger.

He was about to speak to persuade, but Ye Chengwei threw out a few words coldly: "Prepare the horse, go to Maoyuan Village."

Hua Rujin led the family to wander around the south of the city for two hours. The whole Jiangling city was full of noise in the afternoon, and everyone rushed to the Meng family's rice store to grab rice.

Seeing that something was wrong, Shu Jinxuan pulled a passerby and asked, "Brother, are you all rushing to buy rice and go to Yuezhou for disaster relief?"

"What kind of disaster relief? Today's price of Mengjia rice is [-]% lower than usual. Let's grab some and go back to stock up."

After the man finished speaking, he broke away from his hand and ran away, fearing that he would not be able to catch up.

"If this goes on, I'm afraid that the Meng family's rice shop will really go bankrupt."

Shu Jinxuan looked dazzled like a brocade weakly, on the surface he seemed to sympathize with the situation of the Meng family, but in his heart he was secretly happy.

The aunt of the second room had such a big fall this time, she was in no mood to embarrass her cousin anymore.

Hearing the noises everywhere, Hua Rujin just walked around shopping with Cai Baiwei and Xiao Douding on her arm with no expression on her face, and went in when she saw beautiful clothes and jewelry.

Anyway, this is the Meng family father and daughter asking for trouble, not worthy of sympathy.

I bought some clothing materials for the family of five in the tailor shop, added some jewelry, added some rouge, watched the setting sun, and then went to the Jinhu Tower by the river.

This restaurant and the other four most famous restaurants in Jiangling City South Wai Guo are all government-built and privately run, but different from other places, although Jinhu Tower also recruits some singers and luthiers, they are all for show.

Therefore, this place is no longer just a place for men to talk and laugh, but also a place where rich women with money and leisure often come to relax and listen to music.

As soon as the few people arrived at the door, they saw a young man leading a half-old doll walking in with a happy face.

As he walked, the young man happily praised the little doll in front of him: "You performed well today, I will reward you well, but next time you go to the court, you have to cry more realistically, that magistrate is a newcomer. Yes, it looks like a stunned young man who is easy to deceive, but I found that the county magistrate next to him is probably an old fox who can't get away with it, so he should be more cautious."

After hearing this, the little baby quickly nodded obediently.

The two noticed Hua Rujin, Shu Jinxuan and the others following behind them, they immediately stopped talking, lowered their heads and strode into the restaurant.

Hua Rujin was puzzled when she heard it:
Why didn't I feel that the new magistrate is a fool?

Could it be that the person surnamed Ye just compares with me, pays close attention to my affairs, and is full of vigilance?

Looking at the direction where one big and one small disappeared, Hua Rujin suddenly frowned.

Cai Baiwei also heard some clues: "Those two people seemed to be talking about Mr. Ye just now?"

"I think it's a good thing to go to court and get cheap."

Shu Jinxuan sighed: "Young Master Ye has just taken office, so it's hard to know everything clearly, and I see that these two people will not do any shady things without telling the government, after all, the youngest one is only a few years old."

"maybe."

Hua Rujin didn't care about this any more, picked up Xiao Muyang and walked in: "Let's go in too."

As soon as I entered the door, there were many freshly prepared dishes on the table, and the delicious taste made the two little bean saliva drool.

Hua Youen pointed to the steaming pig's knuckle on the table and shouted, "Aniang, Aniang, I want to eat that."

Cai Baiwei hurriedly stopped Xiaodouding's restless little hands: "That's for watching the food, you can't eat it."

"Yes, we will ask the store to make a copy for you later."

Hua Rujin also echoed.

In my impression, these days, from the high-ranking officials to the common people, the custom of watching food and banquets is preserved when they hold banquets.

Although most restaurants hang a wooden board engraved food list at the door, they also prepare some dishes in advance so that diners can see all kinds of dishes at a glance.
