This Lai Da went to the court, so he opened his mouth to complain about grievances, Fang Zhongzheng asked a few words, this Lai Da didn't answer well, just repeatedly talked about how to make himself pay for the money in Jiafu. Although Fang Zhongzheng said that he was prosperous in official luck, he was also promoted at the first level, and he had seen more scoundrels, and it was not surprising to see that Lai Da was trying to change the topic, he had already collected a lot of testimony about what Lai Da had committed, and he was just waiting for this Lai Da to confess and draw a verdict. Seeing that he was playful, he patted the wood and said: "When the official asks, you answer truthfully." Don't talk about it, if you do it again, you will be convicted of disturbing the public court with ten boards first. ”

Lai Da was bluffed, he was used to being majestic on weekdays, only he hit someone and shut up. Fang Zhongzheng saw that he was a little more honest, so he asked about the case again. It's just that this Lai Da Neng pushed back, and said that the little girl was sent by human teeth, and he didn't know if she was a kidnapper, and later she was scolded a few times because she did something wrong, and her heart was too small to jump into the well.

Fang Zhongzheng knew that he would be able to quibble and not say much, so he let the bitter master talk about his experience of finding his daughter, and discussed in detail that after he knew that his daughter was missing, he came to ransom people, but he couldn't do it several times, and finally was beaten out of the door by the Lai family, and he couldn't bear to stay in front of Lai's house every day, hoping to see his daughter, and waited for many days, but the door still couldn't see it, and told him that his daughter had jumped into the well and died. At this point, the bitter lord couldn't help but cry bitterly on the spot.

Lai Da sophistry argued that the bitter master had lost his daughter for many years and that this time it was a misidentification, and there was no evidence for the death, and it could not be said that it was just. Fang Zhongzheng asked the bitter lord if he could have a certificate of recognition, and the bitter lord said that his little daughter had been abducted since she was a child, and I am afraid that there was no physical evidence, but the little girl had a bean-sized cinnabar mole on the left and right hands of the tiger, and her nickname was Shuangzhu, and her relatives also recognized it as their own daughter by this day. When Lai Da heard it, he knew that what he said was true, this girl was dressed as her own son, and she had indeed seen a pair of moles on her hands. Fang Zhongzheng also ordered someone to bring the human teeth and the autopsy to inquire, and if this was the case. Seeing this, Lai Da argued strongly, even so, it was his own death that had nothing to do with him.

Fang Zhongzheng ignored him and called a witness again, this witness was not a bystander, but a subordinate who was sold into Lai's house with the daughter of the bitter lord and was called a bean. Na Dou'er said that because Lai Shangrong was reluctant to leave Shuangzhu because of his beauty, the Lai family refused to let him go, and locked Shuangzhu in the backyard without eating or drinking, and scolded him. In order to make her die, she also said that she had bought her, and unless she died, she would never think of this house for the rest of her life. Shuangzhu was hopeless and threw himself into the well.

When Lai Da heard this, he immediately bit back and said that this bean must have received money from Jiafu to talk so nonsense. How do you know that this Dou'er said that because Lai deceived Master Jia of Rongguo Mansion, the old man was angry and investigated the Lai family and found out a lot of evil things, and the subordinates involved were all poured with dumb medicine and sold. He has been in the house for a short time and has not done anything evil, so Master Jia asked him to pack up his things and let him go out of the house. When Lai Da heard this, he hated Jia Yu even more.

Fang Zhongzheng asked Lai Da what else to say, and Lai Da had no choice but to admit his guilt. Fang Zhongzheng asked him to draw a charge on his confession. Lai Dahua still shouted injustice after the postponement, and wanted to sue Jia for pardoning and ordering him to release the money privately. Where did Fang Zhongzheng care about him, and ordered someone to bring the bitter lord again, Lai Da was stunned this time, where did the bitter master come again. How did he know that Fang Zhongzheng wanted to take this opportunity to rectify the rampant subordinate housekeepers of these dignitaries and dignitaries in the capital, but Lai Da bumped into him by himself. Fang Zhongzheng turned over the old cases and found all these bitter masters who were bullied by Lai Da in the early years and had no way to sue them, and found human and material evidence, etc., and tried them together this time. Lai Da still quibbled a few words at first, but the evidence was conclusive, so he had to admit his guilt one by one.

In this way, Lai Da hated Jia Yu even more. Originally, the matter of Yinzi money was his last straw, and he thought that if he couldn't save himself if he gave up his wealth, he would drag Jiafu into the water, and in order to protect himself, Jiafu would inevitably save himself. Who would have thought that Jia Yu would act so quickly and so desperately, this time Lai Da didn't want to be able to get out, anyway, it would be good to be able to pull him into the water. The Lai family must not be allowed to suffer by themselves. So Lai Da cried again about Jia Yu's private release of Yinzi money, and also said that if the mansion Yin did not investigate, it would be the protection of the officials and officials, and he was afraid that the Jia Mansion would affect his official road, and he would continue to sue him if he died and became a ghost in the underworld.

Fang Zhongzheng is not stupid, and when he searched for other things committed by Lai Da, he also heard about Jiafu putting money in the seal for profit. I searched carefully, but I couldn't find the sufferer. felt that this matter was a little strange, so he paid more attention to Lai Da's behavior to see if there was someone behind it. Later, I indirectly heard that Jia pardoned Jia Jing and took back the IOU of the Yinzi money and exempted the bitter lord from arrears, and even didn't want the principal, and even saw that some of the bitter masters were pitiful and gave away two silver pairs, and when the bitter masters thanked the Lai family for their generosity and benevolence, they understood seven or eight points in their hearts, and estimated that Jiafu was really helpless to do this time, so he had to sweep the tail of what the Lai family did. In the past, I was used to seeing the descendants who relied on their ancestors to do wrong, but it was the first time that someone like Jiafu was used as a gun by a housekeeper. Fang Zhongzheng also sighed that this Jia Mansion was powerless to control his subordinates. This time Lai Da sued in court, Fang Zhongzheng also understood that this was Lai Da's last card, and he couldn't save himself, so he went into the water together, this housekeeper was too calculating. This time, Jiafu learned a lesson, and by the way, he could use this matter to deter the four kings and eight princes, take care of his own people, and do less evil things, which is also a good thing.

Fang Zhongzheng said in the hall: "The Son of Heaven is guilty of the same crime as the common people, if General Jia of Jiafu violates the law, this country will not tolerate it." However, as the housekeeper of Jiafu, it is disloyal to sue the family, and if it is found out that you are falsely accused, it will be an additional crime. DID YOU KNOW? ”

Lai Da doesn't care about anything else at this time, he just can't wait to pull Jia Fu into the water. responded again and again, saying that if he falsely accused himself, he would die and apologize. Fang Zhongzheng secretly thought that with the crime you committed now, it would already be a capital crime according to the law, and then pulling the seal money would just make your death more brittle. Fang Zhongzheng saw that he didn't cry when he didn't see the coffin, so he sent someone to ask Jia for pardon. It stands to reason that this Jia Yu is a first-class general, even if he is guilty and according to the law, it will not be the turn of the capital Mansion Yin to interrogate, but before this arraignment of Lai Da, Jia Yu made a special trip to visit Fang Zhongzheng, and counted to him in detail all the things that Lai Dazhan had committed in his own family, and bitterly stated that he was not strict in control, and then left a message saying that if he needed to come, he would just send someone, and he would never say anything to cooperate. Although Fang Zhongzheng felt that this Jia was pardoning, he still knew the laws and family rules of the country, and his subordinates committed crimes, so they did not blindly protect them, and this point alone was better than those princes and magnates.

This lord sent someone to ask, and it didn't take long for this Jia pardon to arrive. In addition to Jia Amnesty, Jia Zheng and Jia Jing also arrived together, in addition to the main family, Lai Er and Zhou Rui were also detained. When the errand returned, Fang Zhong was busy going down to greet him, but he didn't expect that the three masters of the Jia family were all present today. Jia Yu saluted Lord Fang and said, "Lord Fang, we are powerless to control our subordinates, and I will ask for guilt at the meeting in the future." Because I was falsely accused of releasing Yinzi money, this is not allowed by national laws and family rules, and I specially invited my Jia family patriarch to come, and today I will definitely ask Lord Fang to find out and return my innocence. Master Fang just asked, and I answered truthfully. ”
