Chapter 138: If you are wronged, you don't count
Yao couldn't figure out the relationship between Sisi and Wu Fei, and he didn't know what to say for a while, but Sisi said generously: "Sisi is not the daughter-in-law of the third young master. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Aunt Liu was surprised: "Then what is your relationship with him, why do you live in the Wu family?"
Yan Chang was afraid that Sisi would say something terrible, so he hurriedly said: "Sisi is the cousin of the third young master's aunt in the township, and she came to Songjiang to visit relatives. He knew that this dynasty was a heavy courtesy, the so-called great defense of men and women, even if Sisi was Wu Feiwei's wife, he couldn't live in the Wu family, otherwise he would be spurned.
Yao was confused, she didn't know she had such a cousin, and she didn't have time to worry about anything else in the past two days.
The aunt of the Liu family was confused by Yan Chang, but she knew that Sisi was not married yet, so she immediately beat the snake with the stick, wanting to be a cheap matchmaker, and said seven or eight young masters in one breath, and Sisi just wanted to kick her away.
However, it was said that Wu Fei was taken to the government by two officials, and before he went in, he saw that the outside of the yamen was impassable, and there were cheers from inside from time to time, and there were people outside the yamen to set off firecrackers to celebrate, Wu Fei was brought in by the two officials from the back door and locked in a cell with an iron fence.
A servant registered Wu Fei on the roster and said, "The previous case has not been tried yet, you honestly wait here first." ”
Wu Fei looked to the side, only to see that the side was old or young, most of them were well-dressed, he vaguely knew a few people, all of them were rich and celebrities with a bit of identity in Songjiang Mansion, these people were depressed one by one, with sad faces, Wu Fei didn't see his father and eldest brother and second brother, it is estimated that they were detained in other cells, and at this time he didn't care about others, and sat down in the corner of the house by himself.
At this time, a fat man in brocade clothes suddenly laughed and said: "Look at your little interest, if you lose the lawsuit, you will lose some money, I heard that Lord Hai is very reasonable, as long as one party is willing to lose money and the other party is willing to accept it, he will not pursue it too much." After speaking, he found that no one paid attention to him, so he laughed dryly twice, and said to an old man in a blue robe: "Boss Qiu, you are the most honest in business, and you have done the most in the battle of shopping, why are you even accused of coming in?"
The so-called shop campaign is responsible for the supply of materials needed by the government free of charge or at low prices, which is nominally entrusted to undertake, but in fact it is the most exploited.
The blue-robed boss Qiu sighed and said: "Boss Sima, you are different from us, you have a dock, you can talk easily, my three light socks shop is the most profitable time this month, I ordered tens of thousands of taels of silver last month, if the business is good, you can earn a tenth-two, now I have closed my shop, the interest on the goods will be hundreds of taels of silver every day, and the adults will be fined, but my store will be closed for another seven or eight days, not only will the old book be eroded, but the shop will not be able to afford to sell it!"
"Why does Lord Hai want to close your shop?"
"It's not like I've been accused of missing taxes, but I don't know who killed me. ”
"It's okay, this trip is lost, it's a big deal to start all over again!"
"Start all over again? The key is not this, the two shops I opened later, because the business has been too good recently, I haven't gone to occupy the registration yet!"
As soon as these words came out, the people who were locked up raised their heads one by one.
Wu Fei knew that anyone who wanted to obtain a legal business in the city must first register with the government and obtain approval before they can occupy the city registration, and it is illegal to have no city registration, but in recent years, the business of Songjiang Mansion has been prosperous, and many bosses have not occupied the city, and there is also a saying among businessmen, that is, if the occupation is less than a few years, the rich will be poor. So many businessmen secretly run away from their citizens.
Boss Sima sighed and said sympathetically: "You have a dead crab this time!"
The others also let out a sigh of relief.
Boss Qiu suddenly stood up, pointed at everyone and said indignantly: "Do you think that I am the only one who wants to hang himself, I am not going to deliberately escape from citizenship, the occupants are recruited to all kinds of heavy labor, and the occupants will die, which businessman does not escape now, who of you dares to say that he has not escaped!"
Boss Sima nodded and said: "Yes, our Songjiang Mansion has paid more than ten times more taxes in recent years than in previous years, where did this money come from, it is not our hard work, Songjiang Mansion is so prosperous, we have also contributed, and the successive prefects have turned a blind eye to this matter, otherwise how can we live!"
The crowd was a little angry, and for a while they began to talk.
At this time, an old man in a silk robe in the corner shook his head and said: "Alas, you are all, can you tell Lord Hai, if you break the law, you will be severely punished, and Lord Hai will never tolerate it!"
Hearing this, everyone fell silent again.
Wu Fei listened for a while and felt that what they said was reasonable, but now he was too busy to take care of himself, and he couldn't help it, so he was silent.
The official would call a person out to go to the court, I don't know how the final verdict would be, hearing the applause and noise in the hall, everyone could guess that the trial was the fulfillment of most people's wishes, and one by one they were even more sad, and Wu Fei was also worried in his heart.
After more than an hour, Wu Fei's name was finally called, he came out of the iron fence, two officials dragged him towards the hall, and one of the officials laughed and said: "Boy, look at your birth, you are born white, and there are so many people suing you?"
Wu Fei said: "I was wronged. ”
The official snorted: "You don't have to say whether you are wronged or not." ”
Another official said disdainfully: "I've seen too much of this kind of gentleman, and when the next meal of fried meat with bamboo shoots comes down, I guarantee that even his wife will be recruited to steal people!"
This fried meat with bamboo shoots is naturally a board, Wu Fei couldn't help but smile bitterly.
When he arrived at the lobby, he saw that there were already several people kneeling in the hall, Wu Fei looked at it at a glance, and saw three men kneeling in the dock on the right, one was an old man, and two were young people, he saw the appearance of the three people clearly, and couldn't help but feel sour in his heart, and knelt down after a few steps, and shouted: "Father, two big brothers!"
Seeing Wu Fei appear, the old man and the two young people were very surprised, these three people were Wu Fei's father Wu Shifan and two brothers.
That Wu Shifan is thin, wearing a net scarf on his head, his temples are slightly gray, his facial features are very upright, three short beards under his chin, wearing an agarwood-colored Cheng Ziyi, maybe it is cold in prison, Cheng Ziyi has a cyan armor on the outside, although Wu Shifan is not a scholar, but he has a bookish atmosphere, and he is obviously an elegant person.
Wu Fei's two elder brothers are wearing straight cloth, and their appearance is also delicate, and their bodies are stronger than Wu Fei's, but compared with the Hu family brothers, they are still a little thin, and the three of them look a little sluggish at this time.
Although Wu Shifan is fifty miles away, he is usually well-maintained, and he looks only about forty, but at this moment, his body is bowing, completely like an old man sixty miles away, Wu Fei knows that his father is detained in a prison cell, and he has only been haggard and old in the past few days, and he is a little unbearable and resentful in his heart.
"Fei'er, didn't you go to Lufeng Academy, why are you here?"
"The child is not filial, he just came back from Changshazhou!"
