Chapter 520: A Game of Bitter Meat

Chapter 520
The Zhou family's face was ashamed, and they had to blow up their entire family to get the money, and there were still two people in the family who needed to spend the medical expenses.

The youngest daughter-in-law of the Zhou family covered her mouth with a handkerchief and cried bitterly. She knew that her home could not be kept, and she would definitely sell the house to compensate Bai Rui. The money for the new house came from Bai Rui's dowry.

The only innocent member of the Zhou family felt hatred for not having a good person in her husband's family, and kept deceiving her, instilling in her the impression that Bai Rui was not a good woman. Now that the crime happened, not only adults, children, etc. I'm afraid that their future will also be involved, and they will be ridiculed by the neighbors, and the humiliation Bai Rui suffered back then will fall on them as they are.

After the verdict was pronounced, Uncle Li accepted the verdict and kowtowed to Qingtian. The governor then announced his resignation. The master gave Uncle Li a hinting look. Uncle Li understood, and he took Bai Rui's wrist and left immediately.

It wasn't until they got out of the Yamen and got into the carriage that the two of them settled down, that Bai Rui finally had the time to ask why they were walking so fast all of a sudden.

"Fu Yin is going to get down to business, why don't we go and watch the fun?"

"Oh." Bai Rui nodded slowly, understanding what Fu Yin's business is, "How miserable will Zhou Hongshou and Wang Chen'an be?"

"I don't know, but now the two of them have surrounded themselves, and the government servants are counting their property."

"Huh? So fast?"

"Otherwise, do you think you would leave the class so soon in the morning? You just want to make time to do things behind your back. If a large number of items that are not part of their official salary are confiscated in their home, the crime will be even more serious."

"I don't know if there is Wang Chen'an's family, but before I was kicked out of Zhou's family, Zhou's life was indeed good. After all, there are as many people who want to curry favor with him as Dali Temple's seven-rank judge."

"So, don't worry, when the court finishes counting the property of the Zhou family, you won't lose a penny of the compensation you deserve."

"As long as I can get my dowry back, I don't care about the rest of the money. I only worry about whether the Zhou family can find my original dowry list after a few years."

"In the past few days, you should also carefully recall what you married as a dowry. Judging from the fact that they can still use your dowry to buy a new house, the money must be quite a lot. Get it back as much as possible, and don't take advantage of them."

"Well, thank Uncle Li, I will."

The carriage wobbled towards Tianshuifang, and inside the Yamen was another scene. The young daughter-in-law of the Zhou family clung to her husband's leg and refused to let go. Then she was thrown into the street by the concierge, and asked her to go home alone. Even though she was lying on the steps outside the door and yelling for injustice, no one paid any attention to her, only the onlookers pointed at her, and some gangsters came over Touching her shoes and legs made her scream and run around in fright, causing the crowd to burst into laughter.

Many of them fished in troubled waters, and when the little daughter-in-law finally escaped from the crowd, she was already in a state of disarray, her hair was disheveled, all her jewelry was gone, not even her earrings, and there was an oily handprint on her chest. I don't know who touched her chest without wiping her hands after eating the pancakes.

Fortunately, except for the loss of a piece of jewelry, the clothes are still neat. The shy, startled and angry woman wandered on the street for a while, thinking of the children at home, and then regained some sanity, stopped a carriage, and cried Go home first.

The three Zhou family father and son and Wang Chen'an who were left in the courtroom all looked like mourning concubines, their bodies were staggering and they couldn't stand still. The yamen servants stripped off the coats of the four of them and took them to the prison for temporary detention.

In their own home, as Uncle Li said, the servants guarded all the entrances and exits, and the family members were locked in a room to guard them, and the valuables seized from other rooms were thrown in the large yard. , In Wang Chenan's house, a secret room where money was hidden was also found, and several boxes of cash were found.

Wang Chen'an's concubines and daughters-in-law were detained alone and interrogated on the spot. The women were used to living a good life without lack of money, so they couldn't stand the bullying of the yamen servants, and they cried and said everything.

The concubine is in charge of these black accounts. Seeing that the yamen servants don’t ask men, but only ask women’s family members, she knows that she can’t make up nonsense. She makes it clear that the government has long known the real situation of her family. In order to avoid suffering, she honestly said everything. He also confessed where the black ledger was hidden, and this important evidence was immediately sealed and packed back to the Yingtian government office.

Wang Chenan in the men's prison learned that his concubine had confessed to him, and he knew it was too late. He sat in a corner of the prison with a face ashamed, without saying a word. Later, when the jailer made a routine patrol, he found out that Wang Chenan was wearing pants. His belt was tied to the bars of the cell door and he was hanged.

Seeing this, the father and son of the Zhou family in the next cell were terrified and trembling. The youngest son of the Zhou family knelt on the ground and hit his head on the ground, his face was covered with blood, howling and yelling that he was wronged. , kept yelling that it was none of his business to bully the second sister-in-law in the past. He had never done it because his parents and elder brother and elder sister-in-law couldn't tolerate the second sister-in-law. Such content kept yelling and shouting repeatedly.

He shouted hoarsely, his voice was hoarse, but no one paid attention to him, Fu Yin's attention was also on Wang Chenan, if he killed Fu Yin in prison, he would be held responsible.

Fortunately, Fu Yin was lucky today, the unconscious Wang Chen'an was successfully rescued by the doctor, and fortunately he didn't strangle him for a long time, and caught up with the jailer to find out in time, so he didn't die in the end.

Fu Yin was so angry that he ordered Wang Chen'an to be locked up in a small prison. Except for the straw on the floor, the small prison didn't even have a bed. If he wanted to sleep, he could only sleep on the straw pile. The high transom windows were covered with barbed wire. Sometimes he jumped up and grabbed the window sill, but he couldn't get out, let alone hang the rope. Although the cell door didn't change, there were two guards outside at any time, watching Wang Chen'an motionlessly, and wouldn't give him the slightest chance to commit suicide.

Wang Chen'an was fed with medicine, and lay down on the floor of the small cell in a dazed state. Under the dim light, the guards outside couldn't see his face clearly. Suddenly, a meaningful smile appeared on Wang Chenan's face.

How could he be willing to die? It's just a trick, otherwise, there are many people in this yamen who can make him die. Now that he has been moved to this small prison, it is not easy for anyone to kill him and then pretend to commit suicide. As long as he really dies, a new case will be introduced immediately.

How could the real behind-the-scenes commander above keep asking for trouble again and again.

Wang Chenan was certain that he would not die, so he slept peacefully that night.
