Iron Age

After Liu Ziguang took complete control of the Suzhou Mansion, the Cao family had no choice but to send people to the capital for help, but the mansion was under strict surveillance. They were also invited by the Suzhou government.

Cao's house was in a panic. The master and uncle hadn't come back for two days. There were always dozens of guys in black robes standing outside the house with cold faces. In the past, the Kuaiban yamen servant in Suzhou Prefecture, who was always full of flattering smiles, suddenly became vicious and took away several masters. The gossip spread quietly among the maids and servants that the Cao family was about to be ransacked. The slaves in the house have already started stealing valuables from the mansion to prepare for their own way out. The wives and aunts are also full of sorrow, crying all day long. Seeing all this, Mrs. Cao is also exhausted physically and mentally, unable to support her.

The young master Cao Zhan felt a little excited at first, because his grandfather and father couldn't control him anymore, but soon he realized that something was wrong. First of all, he couldn't go out to play casually, and even slipped out through the back door of the stable. There are people blocking it, and then there is the abnormal atmosphere in the house, with a precarious posture

Everyone in the Cao Mansion was anxiously waiting for the final result. Waiting is the most painful and painful thing. Fortunately, the imperial envoy also didn’t like to wait. He got the approval of the emperor, so Liu Ziguang didn't worry about the resistance in the court. What he was worried about was that the Cao family had a deep foundation in Suzhou, and it would not end well if it caused large-scale chaos. Fortunately, there were two generals like Wang Lei and ** Fully cooperate to extinguish all impending riots in the bud

Liu Ziguang also has a killer trick, which is the investigation envoy sent by the Ministry of Household Affairs. These old guys are all capable people in the Cleaning Department, especially good at checking accounts. The Weaving Department, let alone a huge amount of corruption, can find out problems if there is no problem , coupled with the several murders committed by the Cao family, it is really difficult to turn around this time

The Red Shirts ransacked the house not once or twice, and they were very familiar with it. The men and women of the Cao family brought their clothes and escorted them to a temple for guarding. The maids and servants handled it separately. Walking blankly in the escort queue, suddenly a person pointed at him and shouted: "He is the one who ruined my sister!"

Cao Zhan looked up and said in astonishment: "Brother Hua, why are you? What about attacking people? Why haven't you come back for so long when you go home to visit your relatives?"

It was Hua Pao who came to identify the criminal. He gritted his teeth and said, "Bah! Who is your brother? My sister was forced to death by your family long ago. You should pretend not to know!"

Cao Zhan turned pale in shock: "The attacker is dead? Tell me what's going on!" His eyes were filled with tears as he spoke, but Hua Pao didn't listen to him, so he called two soldiers to tie him up. Seeing the hearts and minds of the Cao family being tied up by Wuhuada, the female relatives cried and came to stop them, but were stopped by the policemen's officers and soldiers with bamboo sticks.

Cao Yin and his son were also stubborn. They were tortured for two days and nights without confessing. Although Liu Ziguang was an imperial envoy, he did not concurrently serve as the imperial censor. Therefore, officials of Cao Yin's level could not be tried, but could only be collected. The evidence was reported to the Three Law Departments. The fraud and corruption case of the Weaving Department involved a wide range of issues. It could not be completed in a day or two. , forced to kill a case of surgery

These two criminal cases are both related to the family of Hua Laohan, a craftsman of the Weaving and Dyeing Bureau. The old man Hua is the father of Hua Pao. He has worked in the Weaving and Dyeing Bureau for most of his life. Participated in the design, and the three primary color dyes used in the dyeing workshop were also researched by him, but such versatile craftsmen not only could not be reused, they could not even receive basic rations. During a craftsman protest half a year ago, the old man Hua was caught Cao Yong's sedan chair was not let go, and the right hand was cut off cruelly by the Cao family's evil slaves. Afterwards, the old man Hua was expelled from his craftsmanship. The daughter Huazhuzhu, who worked as a maid in Cao's mansion, came home. I heard that she was driven back because she seduced the young master and ruined the family style. The neighbors couldn't help pointing and gossiping. Tea and dinner at home without crying or talking, hanged himself in a quiet night within a few days, and was found to be three months pregnant

Hua Zhenzhu is not the biological daughter of the old man Hua, but the posthumous child brought by his mother. 15 years ago, the old man rescued a woman who committed suicide with a baby from the river. The woman later married a widower who lived hard with his son Hua Cang. Old man Hua, his family lives harmoniously and beautifully. Hua Pao took good care of this girl who was not his own, not to mention how much he loves her. Now that the girl is forced to commit suicide, she still has two dead bodies. How can I not make him angry? The young master's romantic reputation is well known in Suzhou. My sister is cute and innocent. She must have been cheated by that guy. Hua Pao asked someone to write a complaint. The two cases were merged and the Cao family was sued. But which magistrate of Suzhou Prefecture He also didn't want to take over this hot potato, so he charged Huapao with a false accusation and threw him into a prison for a few days. There is the story of the weaving and dyeing bureau desperately suing a few days ago

Like his father, Hua Pao is a capable man, not only ingenious, but also upright and dedicated to fighting injustices, so he is loved by poor craftsmen. He seems to be a new generation of worker leaders. He can pull thousands of people with a wave of his arm, and it's not for nothing. Liu Ziguang has taken a fancy to these advantages of the fireworks and has already taken them for his own use.

As the plaintiff, Hua Pao has already knelt in the court of Suzhou Mansion. The judge of the criminal case is the pusher of Suzhou Mansion. This person has received Wang Lei's instructions to make the case an iron case, so the trial work is going very smoothly.

The case of Cao Yong instructing his servant to cut off the arm of the old man Hua is conclusive. The facts are clear. Hundreds of workers present at the time can testify that the murderer has been brought to justice and confessed to the crime. That's why he did it so hard

During the trial, the imperial envoy was sitting in the courtroom to hear the trial. The great feat of this uncle in Dali Temple has been spread all over the south of the Yangtze River, and he also has the reputation of being a **** day. How dare the officials push the door and use the axe, so they have to follow the law of the Ming Dynasty Cao Yong was severely sentenced: he was exiled from his official status, exiled for three thousand miles, and compensated Huajia Wenyin with 300 taels of silver.

Cao Yong knew that the general situation was over, so he didn't make any excuses, but kowtowed to ask his son Cao Zhan to be let go, saying that he was also responsible for the case of rape and attack by a maid. Zhanhehua family members wait to confront each other

"Cao Zhan, I want to ask you, do you know Hua Zhenzhu, the daughter of the Hua family?"

Cao Zhan slept last night in a prison in Suzhou Prefecture, with straw sticks on his head, his face was haggard and restless, far from the elegant demeanor of a handsome young man before, he was terrified when he heard the sound of the gavel Shocked, he hurriedly replied: "Yes, Huazhu is my eldest maid, Hua Xiren, and I changed the name."

"Then did you do that messy thing with Hua Zhenzhu?" The pusher continued to ask, in fact, the pusher also knew in his heart that the big maid is the aunt's backup team, how can the big maid and the young man be innocent, this case There's really nothing to ask, it's just that it's rare for a father and son to be brother-in-law

Cao Zhan was shy and didn't want to answer. He was frightened by the yamen guard on duty with a water and fire stick on the ground, so he hurriedly confessed that he and Xiren had already had a pillow mat.

Although it was a very boring family dispute case, but there was an imperial envoy listening to it with gusto, and the pusher had no choice but to cheer up and try it carefully, and interrogated Cao Yong in detail again, and finally made the matter clear.

It turns out that this flower pearl was originally bought by Cao's mansion as a personal maid for the old lady. Later, Cao Yong took a fancy to it and wanted to get involved. Cao Yong's wife, Mrs. Wang, found out that she took the flower pearl as a maid for her son. As the eldest maid, although the girl Zhu Zhu has the same birthday as the young master, she is much more mature than Cao Zhan. The eldest maid, was renamed Xiren, originally Xiren was a very dutiful girl, but for some reason, she became very kind when she met Cao Zhan, and within a few days, the two of them had their first trial, and the little girl became a little woman , the color is more charming, Cao Yong saw it in his eyes, he was greedy in his heart, and finally one day he found a chance to push him down

After Mrs. Wang found out about this matter, she felt that it was inappropriate to get angry with her husband, so she vented her anger on Xiren, beat him up and drove back to Hua's house. Young master or something, Hua Xiren, that is, Hua Zhenzhu hanged himself within two days after returning home. Strictly speaking, this case is difficult to judge. There is no rule in the law that the master cannot sleep with the maid. As for committing suicide after returning home, it has nothing to do with the Cao family.

The pusher felt that this case was difficult to handle, and insisted on convicting the Cao family. I was afraid that he would become a laughing stock in the officialdom in the future, but it was not easy for the great god Zhenwu to sit there and declare Cao Yong innocent. In desperation, he Just kick the ball over

When the pusher was about to ask ** Tian Tian how to deal with the case, things suddenly changed. The daughter of the Hua family, Pearl's biological mother, suddenly passed out in the hall.

After pinching people and pouring clear water, the lady of the Hua family finally woke up slowly, and let out a mournful voice: "It's a crime, it's all a crime, our mothers are so miserable, if I knew this, I might as well have died 15 years ago ah"

Cao Yong and Cao Zhan were kneeling at the other end of the hall, they didn't dare to look directly at Huapao's family, but at this moment they couldn't help but look up when they heard the mournful sound, the father and son both shouted at the same time: "Shi Ping!" "Xi Ren!"

The lady of the Hua family is not very old, that is, in her early thirties. Her figure and face are very similar to her daughter Pearl. No wonder Cao Zhan mistakenly thought it was Xiren, but the name Cao Yong called out was the real name of the lady of the Hua family.

"Yes, I am Shi Ping who was kicked out by you on that stormy night 15 years ago! Pearl is my daughter, and also your own daughter! You are not as good as a beast, and you don't even let your own daughter go!" The lady was gnashing her teeth and wanted to pounce on Cao Yong

Everyone was shocked, and no one stepped forward to stop him for a while, until the lady of the Hua family jumped in front of Cao Yong, Cao Zhan stood in front of his father and shouted: "What are you going to do, crazy woman?"

Cao Yong grabbed his son and said: "Don't stop her, she is your biological mother, Xiren is your twin sister, retribution! It's all retribution!"

The lady of the Hua family was also stunned when she heard this, she took the hairpin out of her hand, held Cao Zhan's face with both hands and said stupidly: "Are you Baoyu? Are you really Baoyu? My son, I have a hard life." Son! Didn’t the Cao family say that you died at birth? Let your mother take a good look at you.”

Cao Zhan's young heart can't accept such a big stimulus, he is now dizzy, what mother, sister, twins, where are they all, what is going on with this crazy woman who looks like Xiren's sister , unexpectedly knew his baby name, he was holding his face by the lady of the Hua family and he didn't dare to move, he was at a loss and called Cao Yong: "Daddy save me!"

But he heard a sound from behind, and looked back, he saw that Cao Yong had already bumped into the pillar of the court, blood and brains flowed all over the ground, obviously it was hopeless

"Father!" Cao Zhan cried and threw himself next to Cao Yong's corpse, hoping to wake up his father. The lady of the Hua family over there was already crazy, and she yelled foolishly: "Son, daughter, Baoyu!" , pearls, not a single one, hee hee"

All the people present were dumbfounded when they saw this tragedy. Even Liu Ziguang did not expect such a scene. This case cannot be retried. Take it lightly." After saying that, he led his men straight away.

At this time, the sky suddenly began to rain. It would be better if there was thunder, Liu Ziguang thought to himself

***************************************************** ********************************* I made a spoof of Thunderstorm, I feel very cool, do I have a natural gossip plot Depressed, Baoyu and Zhuzhu are twin daughters born to Shi Ping and Cao Yong. They belong to the kind of twin eggs that don't quite resemble each other. As for why Cao Yong didn't recognize her daughter, this is a plot requirement. Since the old pervert likes it Like a mother, it is reasonable to like her daughter
