Chapter 22: The Public Case of the Year

"Yang Yun's mother, Mrs. Yang, was conspired by the concubine and stepbrother and daughter-in-law, was framed for fornication, and was caught by the two of them, so his stepgrandmother beat the eldest lady of the Yang family to death in a grand manner, and then divorced his wife for his son, and drove the eldest lady of the Yang family out of the house with a letter of resignation.

The eldest lady of the Yang family was beaten and injured, and was unkempt and dragged by several subordinates and thrown outside the gate of the sheep house together with the letter of resignation.

The old woman of the sheep family, the youngest son, the daughter-in-law, and the aunt and nephew really didn't pay attention to it, and they refused to even accept the corpse, saying that they had already been divorced and were no longer from their family! They also said that the eldest lady had died there and had dirty their family's land! No wonder I heard that although their mother's family is an official, but the ancestor is a businessman, that is, the old woman's brother can read, so he became a big official, so he can only be the boss of the sheep family to fill the house, I heard that before the boss of the sheep family died, the woman still had some beautiful and virtuous and good reputation, but I didn't expect that as soon as her man died, this face was revealed!"

When Xiong Dalang talked about this paragraph, he couldn't help but comment: "These rich and noble families really have everything! These people are really able to pretend to be able to endure it, and they are really ruthless! Later, it was the eldest lady's daughter who rushed back to collect her mother's corpse. Oh, it's the Sheep Lady you saw yesterday!"

"Yang Yun's sister was married at that time, although she ran back to make a fuss, but was kicked out by his step-grandmother and grandmother, Yang Yun's uncle's family is far away in the capital, and it takes a month or two to get on the road, so naturally I can't count on it.

Yang Yun got the news and immediately rushed back to Yangzhou from Jinling. Unexpectedly, after he came back, he buried his mother without making noise or making a noise. People thought that he would admit it like this, because this kind of backhouse thing has always been unclear about right and wrong, and besides, his mother is dead, and his reputation is gone, and no matter how much trouble he makes, it will be useless for him to make trouble, but he will follow with him to make his reputation stink! If his reputation is stinky, he can't go to the examination! Unexpectedly, he quietly collected evidence, and spent a lot of effort to find and catch the prodigal son who pretended to be an adulterer, and then directly sued his second aunt and that cousin to the yamen with a complaint! So his second aunt and concubine were arrested and tried in the yamen, although he did not directly sue his grandmother, but his step-grandmother was naturally involved.

His grandmother was not a fuel-efficient lamp, and at the same time that Yang Yun sued his second aunt and cousin to the yamen, the old lady immediately wrote a statement, counting all kinds of unfilial piety of Yang Yun and his mother, and handed it to the yamen.

Most of the affairs of the women in the backhouse of famous families are made in private, and when the whole thing happens, it is also resolved in private, all of them take care of face, even if his mother was framed, this kind of embarrassing backhouse matter is also solved in the clan, and there is no trouble outside! There is really no such thing, and they actually go to the government to beat the drum and voice their grievances! He is still the son of a family! Only those Tianshe'er in the countryside will make trouble in the yamen in such a way that he does not care about his face, so that the whole world will know about it! The clan elders in their clan are angry! He didn't even consult them, so he went to the official mansion, where is there still a little bit of the appearance of a prince! It is said that they want to exterminate him!"

Hearing this, Qin Nuan's brows furrowed tightly, but she didn't interrupt Xiong Dalang's words.

Seeing Qin Nuan's frowning, Xiong Dalang thought that Qin Nuan naturally agreed with his opinion, so he continued to narrate: "So, as soon as the case started, Yang Yun's fiancée's family divorced him! That family is a scholarly family!

Because the two parties sued each other, the case was tried for a period of time, and the whole Yangzhou and Jiangnan knew about it, and many old gentlemen said that he should not do this, saying that his feelings were pitiful and his actions were inappropriate, but there were also many people who said that he had done the right thing! I heard that his mentor, Mr. Lu, also wrote a special letter to the Guangling County Commander of Yangzhou and the prefect of Yangzhou to intercede for him!

In the end, the concubine was convicted of framing the main mother, beaten with dozens of sticks in the court, and then killed! The second aunt and the stepgrandmother of the Yang family were innocently killed because they did not know anyone and listened to slanderous rumors, and they were fined several hundred taels of silver; and then, because the eldest lady of the Yang family was innocent, the decree of the divorce was invalid, and the coffin of the eldest lady was moved to the ancestral grave of the Yang family to enjoy the sacrifice!"

Qin Nuan was surprised: "That's it?"

This is too perfunctory, isn't it? The dignified housewife was framed and insulted to death like that, and finally took a concubine as cannon fodder, and the real murderer was punished with some silver and it was over without pain?

Seeing Qin Nuan's surprised appearance, Xiong Dalang said strangely: "If this is not over, what else will we do? Regarding the complaint handed over by his stepgrandmother accusing him of disobedience, the county magistrate sentenced her to be unsubstantiated and not credible, and warned her that if she made trouble again, she would be sentenced to the crime of false accusation! In doing so, he has already taken good care of him!"

Qin Nuan scoffed: "This is still called taking care? Is it okay for the old woman to make false accusations? Is the Guangling County Order favoritism?"

"Cut! Does he dare? He didn't dare to have the slightest inappropriateness! Because on the day of the final trial, there were too many people who came to see the excitement, and even the scholars were piled up! Moreover, the prefect of Yangzhou sent a supervisor to hear the trial, and the lord of Guangling County sent the governor of the palace to hear the trial. Xiong Dalang compared his fingers from his temples to his chin, licked his lips, and emphasized: "I saw this with my own eyes!

Because Yang Yun's father has taught the county lord for several years, Yang Yun can be regarded as the county lord's senior brother! So isn't there such a saying, three lives are unfortunate, the county is attached to Guo; three lives are evil, attached to Guo Province! Tsk, this Guangling county order is not good, as long as he has not pinched the slightest bit of proportion, he will not know how to die later!"

After Xiong Dalang finished speaking, he commented again: "Speaking of which, if it weren't for the county lord's wife who was ruthless and supported him, I'm afraid his reputation would not be able to be saved, and it would be miserable, and a dignified son of a family would be a white body for the rest of his life!
