The ugly princess

Chapter 201
"The head of the family, just listen to Yu'er!" Han knew that the burned things in her family were not worth the price, but she definitely supported her daughter.

"Okay, then daddy will go talk to the old man tomorrow." Seeing that his wife and daughter had said that, Gu Qingmu nodded.

"Girl Yu's method is okay, so let's leave this matter alone. Hey, don't think about it again at night, let's talk about other things."

Li Zheng felt that Gu Qingyu's way of handling it was okay, and he also agreed.

……

The next morning, Gu Qingmu discussed with his family and told the old man about the decision to ask the old Gu family to pay 30 taels of silver as compensation.

The old man's first reaction was astonishment, but he knew the seriousness of this matter, so he could only nod in agreement alone.

But when Mrs. Gu and the others learned of this condition, they were so angry that they grabbed a kitchen knife and rushed straight to Lizheng's house, desperately looking for Gu Qingyu's family, but no matter how much they yelled, the door of Lizheng's house was never opened.

Gu Qingyu's family didn't show up, but tomorrow is the final day of Gu Qingming's case. Mrs. Gu and the others were afraid that something would happen to Gu Qingming, so they could only collect the money with tears in their eyes.

On this day, the old Gu's family emptied out their entire family, pieced it together, pawned all the gold and silver jewelry, and even compensated the newly bought carriage to Gu Qingyu's family, and managed to scrape together 30 taels. silver.

……

Early the next morning, the case of Gu Qingming's arson and homicide was going to be tried in the county government of Guxi County.

This murder and arson case has long been known to everyone in the county. Even outsiders know that there is a vicious scumbag in Muyun Village who hired people to kill his own brother and his family for money.

At this time, the courtroom was already crowded with bustling crowds, and many people even brought rotten eggs and rotten vegetable residues, waiting to smash to death this animal that gave them shame in Guxi County.

Above the courtroom, the local parent officer and magistrate Mr. Shi sat in the middle, with Gu Qingming kneeling in front of him, as well as Gu Qingyu and his daughter.

Li Zheng also came as the head of a village, because he was a village official and didn't need to kneel down, so he stood beside Gu Qingyu and the others as an observer.

Mr. Gu, Mrs. Gu and Mrs. Zhao came to the old Gu's family today. Because no one else is allowed to approach the court, they can only stay outside the court.

Lord Shi, the county magistrate, looked at the sky and saw that the time had come. He grabbed the gavel and slapped it hard, announcing his formal promotion.

"Gu Qingming, you hired someone to set fire and murder Gu Qingmu's family, are you guilty?" Lord Shi said angrily.

"My lord, the grassroots, the grassroots are guilty!" Gu Qingming kowtowed vigorously, raised his head and said with tears in his eyes.

Many people present were stunned for a moment, and there was a commotion outside the courtroom. How could it be possible to plead guilty so easily? Murder and arson are serious crimes, and pleading guilty is a capital crime.

The members of the old Gu's family acted quite calmly, as if they had conspired with Gu Qingming for a long time?
Gu Qingyu's big black and white eyes blinked. The attitude of pleading guilty is so good, it seems that the good show is about to begin. How can Gu Qingming, who is so afraid of death, resist the crime like this?

"Convicted? If you say that, it means that the case of murder and arson was indeed committed by you, and you have nothing to refute?"

Lord Shi's expression paused, he didn't expect Gu Qingming to plead guilty so quickly, suspicion flashed in his eyes, and then he said seriously.

"My lord, Cao Min admits that the two murderers were found by Cao Min, and Cao Min is too late to regret it now, I really shouldn't do such a thing that is inferior to pigs and dogs for a small amount of money.

But Caomin was forced to do so. The idea of ​​buying a murderer to kill someone was actually given by Jia Wanqianjia in Qingshui Town, and the money for buying a murderer was also given by him. Caomin was just his errand. "

Gu Qingming's heart was full of resentment. Boss Jia actually refused to save him, so don't blame him for biting back.

"What do you mean, you're not the mastermind? You haven't brought in everything truthfully. If there's even half a lie, you'll be punished, slap."

Master Shi slapped the gavel angrily, his face darkened suddenly, it seems that this case is not that simple!

"My lord, Caomin is now cooperating with Najia Wanqian in the olive vegetable business.

And Gu Qingmu's family is also doing this kind of food business, and they are deeply appreciated by Xinqi Manor. Jia Wanqian also cooperated with Xinqi Manor before, but because of stealing, adultery, and cheating, he was blacklisted by Xinqi Manor for never cooperating again. .

Jia Wanqian was jealous of Gu Qingmu's house, and was afraid that their existence would affect his catering business, so he asked Caomin to hire two people to set fire to Gu Qingmu's house, saying that he would give the grassman [-]% more food dividends afterwards.

Cao Min was also greedy for profit for a while, so he agreed to him. If you don't believe me, you can ask these two little brothers. Cao Min paid them 20 taels of silver at that time.

Although my family received a sum of 30 taels of silver from Boss Jia before, it has been spent a lot, and there is no such thing as money to buy it. "

Gu Qingming said firmly, there was no falsehood in his expression, in fact, he was the one who came up with the idea of ​​murder and arson, and Boss Jia just agreed to pay for it.

But now he only needs to push the mastermind to Boss Jia, then he is just an accomplice, and the crime will be much lighter.

"This is also your one-sided statement, do you have evidence?" Master Shi asked angrily.

"Grass, the grass people don't have one, but my lord, everything the grass people said is true, there is absolutely no falsehood."

Gu Qingming panicked in an instant, and he just wanted to give it a go. When it came to evidence, he really didn't have any, but he absolutely didn't want to just plead guilty, he didn't want to die yet.

"My lord, the mistress is Gu Qingming's mother, and the mistress has something to say."

Seeing this, Mrs. Gu was in a cold sweat. They thought that they could divert the county magistrate's attention just by telling Boss Jia, but they didn't expect the county magistrate to be so difficult to deal with.

"Biography." Lord Shi said coldly.

"The women pay homage to Master Qingtian." Mrs. Gu walked up to the court tremblingly, her legs were shaking so badly that she knelt down as soon as she got there.

"My lord, everything my son said is true. Gu Qingmu's family demanded compensation from our family yesterday. That's no ordinary lion who opened his mouth and demanded 30 taels of silver from the women's family in one go.

The women's family gathered here and there yesterday, smashing pots and selling iron, and they have already paid them money. You said that if we are a peasant family like ours, if we spend 20 taels of silver to hire a murderer.

How can I get 30 taels of silver together? Master Qingtian, you have to make the decision for my son! "

When Mrs. Gu said 30 taels of silver, her eyes flashed fiercely, and in the blink of an eye, she begged Mr. Shi with a mournful face.

When Gu Qingming heard that his family had lost 30 taels of silver, his heart was trembling with anger. His mother came to see him the day before yesterday, so there was nothing like this?Gu Qingyu, this little bitch, why didn't he die sooner.

Even though Gu Qingming was very annoyed, on the surface he still hung his head and pretended to be pitiful.
