Chapter 182: Happy Event
There is no turning back from the bow, and Tang Dashan must fight to the end. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Yes, my lord, they are unconvincing and unconvincing, and I beg you to see what is going on. The lawyer also helped. Professional ethics, no way, knowing that the lawsuit is going to be lost, you have to do your best to the end.
"Yes, my lord, if you don't believe me, you can go to the Lin family to search, and you will definitely find the silver. Li also said boldly.
Looking at her determined appearance, do you have to set up a blame? What can I do, Xiao Han pondered.
"Smack", Zhu Ming patted the stunned wood, and said with a serious face: "Hugh is noisy, what to do, I don't need you to say." The official has his own means to find out the truth. ”
The audience was silent, he groaned for a while, and called: "Li catches the head." ”
"Here!"
"You take people to the road where Lin Xiaohan said she was attacked and search carefully to see if there are any clues. ”
"Yes, sir. ”
"Li Si. ”
"Here!"
"You and Zhang San go to the Lin family to search to see what they find, and be careful not to damage things. Zhu Ming instructed carefully.
"Yes, sir. ”
"My lord, it's not fair, why only search our house, if you want to search, you can search together, and the Tang family also has to search, maybe there is something wrong with their family. Xiao Han said crisply.
"What is so greasy in our family, your family only has it, your family must have dirty silver, you must have harmed my son. Little slut, you can't die well!" Li scolded viciously.
"Smack, Li, you dare to roar in the court, come on, give me ten slaps on the mouth. Zhu Ming saw that the Li family was scolding, and Han Guining's face was already gloomy like water, so he hurriedly ordered.
"Papapapa", the official opened the bow left and right, and slapped ten mouths in a real way, Li's face immediately swollen, although he didn't dare to say anything more, but stared at Xiao Han's eyes as if he wanted to eat people.
Xiao Han pouted indifferently, she couldn't live for her own sin, ten slaps were light, and there were bigger surprises waiting for her later.
After punishing the Li family, Zhu Ming said: "First Tang Dashan sued Lin Jincai's family for money and murder, and then Lin Xiaohan sued Tang Yun for murder. Both sides insisted on their own words, each had their own witnesses, and the case was confusing. In order to find out the truth, Zhang San, Li Si, after you have searched the Lin family, you will go to the Tang family to search. ”
The two batches of arrests quickly responded to the promise. Zhu Ming announced his retirement from the church, and he was promoted again after the arrest was about to return. The Tang and Lin families were still escorted back to their cells, and the witnesses were temporarily taken to a side hall to rest.
Some of the people who watched the excitement followed to Qinghe Village, some followed to the road that Lin Xiaohan said, and some people stayed outside the court to wait.
An hour later, the two batches of catchers came back one after the other.
Zhu Ming returned to the court, announced his ascension, and took the plaintiff and the defendant.
After Xiao Han went to the hall, he was taken aback when he saw Zhang San holding a heavy burden in his hand, and quickly glanced at Han Guining, who bowed slightly at her, meaning that everything was under control, and her heart settled down.
And when Tang Dashan and his wife saw the burden in the hands of the catcher, their hearts also settled down, and a triumphant smile appeared on their faces.
Then the interrogation began.
"Li Zhutou, what did you find?" asked Zhu Ming.
"Back to my lord, the villain walked along the road that Miss Lin said, and did see the rut marks of the carriage, and there were many horseshoe prints. It's just that the road is a small road, and few people walk around, so the traces are very clear. Until I got to the big pit, there were messy footprints, there were indeed signs of fighting, and there was still a little blood on the ground, but it was dry. The little man walked on, and saw the ruts of the carriage, and a series of horseshoe prints, but the ruts were crooked, and so were the horseshoe prints, as if the horses were galloping. The villain followed all the way, and when he came to the end, he reached the north street of the town. As a result, the carriage prints disappeared, and the horseshoe prints were gone. The villain came back to tell him. Li Zhutou finished these words in one breath, and then stretched out his sleeve to wipe the sweat from his forehead.
"Well, it seems that what Lin Xiaohan said is true. But for the sake of fairness, I also have to ask Zhang San and Li Si, what did you find?" Zhu Ming stroked his mustache and then asked.
"Go back to your lord," Zhang San replied first, "The villain found these pieces of silver in the main house of the Lin family, about a hundred taels. After saying that, they presented the burden, but in fact, they found more than one hundred taels, and some scattered pieces of silver, which they had swallowed privately.
"My lord, this is physical evidence. This is the silver that my son borrowed, and now it has been found in their house, and it must have been their murder for money! My lord, have pity on my son, he is a talented man, and he has been ...... at a young age Ask the adults to call the shots!" Tang Dashan fell to the ground crying, and kept kowtowing, and the Li family also kowtowed.
The crowd outside the public hall was buzzing, and some people were heckling, clamoring for severe punishment for the murderers. Needless to say, it's a member of the Tang family.
Zhu Ming was stunned for a moment, glanced at Han Guining, saw that he was calm and relaxed, and then looked at Lin Xiaohan without a little worry. Zhu Ming knew in his heart, I was afraid that there was something in it that others didn't know.
"Silence," Zhu Ming shouted, and the official followed and shouted "mighty", and finally suppressed those discussions and shouts.
"Tang Dashan, Li Clan, you get up first, if you are wronged, this official will make the decision for you. Zhu Ming gently persuaded.
The master also walked down in person, stretched out his hand to help them up, and the two had to give the master face, and his forehead hurt even more.
Zhu Ming then asked Li Si what he found in the Tang family.
"Go back to my lord, the villain found this in the cabinet of the Tang family!" After Li Si finished speaking, he handed over a small paper bag, and the master took it, opened it and smelled it, and said, "My lord, this is sweat medicine." ”
Tang Dashan and his wife were stunned, impossible, how could there be such a thing at home, could it be that his son accidentally fell it. Whether it is or not, you can only bite it to death and refuse to admit it.
The two kowtowed again and again, saying that they were wronged and framed. This time, Zhu Ming ignored them, whether he liked to knock or not, it was yours if he broke it, and it had nothing to do with me.
"Lin Xiaohan, what do you explain about the one hundred taels of silver found in your family?" Zhu Ming didn't ask Lin Jincai, but asked her directly, because he also saw that this little girl was the person in charge of the family.
"Lord Hui," Lin Xiaohan replied with a smile, "This silver is the dividend of Han Gongzi to my family, and my family and Han Gongzi are business partners." Moreover, there is a contract, and the county government also has a record, so adults may wish to turn it out and take a look. ”
Han Guining also nodded and said, "That's right, my son has ordered someone to get the contract, please check it." ”
The master hurriedly took the contract and handed it to Zhu Ming, and the bright red seal showed that the contract was indeed not fake. But in order not to let people find fault with so many pairs of eyes outside the court, Zhu Ming still instructed the master to find out in the filing of the yamen.
Since this contract was signed in the last month, the master found it easily.
"How can this be? No way, they must have joined forces to deceive people. That contract must be fake!" Li shouted unwillingly, she never expected that the Lin family would actually sign a contract with Han Guining.
This woman really doesn't know whether she is alive or dead, what kind of place is she in court, is it her house, or the vegetable market. Zhu Ming's eyes showed helplessness and disgust, and he unceremoniously asked the official to slap his mouth five times.
The Li family has completely turned into a pig's head, this is really the current world, and Xiao Han's heart is very refreshed.
"My lord, my son's guards have also caught a person. Han Guining said unhurriedly, "As long as this person is interrogated, the adults will understand what is going on." ”
"Bring it on. Zhu Ming glanced at him and ordered.
Xiao Han turned his head and saw that a young man who looked like a small guy was brought up with his hands tied behind his back. The person who took him was Han Chun, and Han Chun was still holding a heavy burden in his hand.
The man hung his head and looked like he had been tortured. When he arrived at the court, his legs were weak and he took the initiative to kneel, and he didn't need Zhu Ming to ask, so he explained in one go.
It turned out that he was a small servant of Gaofu, and yesterday afternoon he was ordered by the executive's family to wait outside the Lin family, and when the Lin family was arrested and arrested, and the house was empty, he turned over and climbed into the courtyard wall, buried the silver in the east of the courtyard, and the ground had to be renovated with soil, so that it would be easy to find out when the arrester searched quickly. Unexpectedly, as soon as he climbed into the courtyard wall, he was caught.
Originally, he gritted his teeth and didn't say anything, but Han Guining's subordinates were not vegetarians. Han Chun didn't hit him, he just clicked on his laughing hole, making him laugh for half an hour before he untied him, and he recruited everything.
Although he knew that his deed of sale was in the hands of the master, and he had no good fruit to eat, he didn't want to die of laughter. Look at the present, and talk about the future later.
"My lord, this involves the Gao Mansion executives' family, and the Gao Mansion and the Tang family are in-laws. My lord, what should I do about this?" Han Guining immediately asked.
Zhu Ming secretly complained in his heart, he didn't want to be involved in Gaofu, not to mention that Gao Renhe gave him a thousand taels of silver tickets in this lawsuit, just talking about the long-term friendly and cooperative relationship between them, he couldn't attack Gaofu, and he couldn't watch him suffer.
But Han Guining's request is reasonable and legitimate, and he can't show favoritism in front of everyone. What should I do? Yes, he had an idea, he could send his right-hand man, and then secretly reveal the news to Gao Renhe, so that he would come up with a countermeasure to get rid of himself.
"Because this matter involves the family of the senior executives of Gaofu, Gaofu is a well-known big family in this county, I am afraid that someone will obstruct it, master, you will personally bring people to Gaofu. After Zhu Ming finished speaking, he glanced at his master.
The master followed Zhu Ming for a long time, so he naturally understood and nodded to him slightly.
Of course, Han Guining knows that this is boring, but it is not the best time at the moment, so let's turn a blind eye first.
Before the master took the catcher to Gao's mansion, Gao Renhe received the news, and he called the housekeeper to discuss countermeasures.
"Ah Hui, how many years have you been with me?" asked Gao Renhe, standing in front of the window with his hands behind his back.
"Back to my lord, it's been fifteen years. Gao Hui behind him replied with his head down.
"Fifteen years, time flies, it's just a blink of an eye. Gao Renhe sighed.
After a while, he turned around and looked at the butler with his head down: "Ah Hui, I don't think I need to say more, I hope you will come forward to stand up to this matter, and you must stand up, do you understand?"
"The old slave understands!" "Those who are slaves of others, when the master has something, of course, have to go up to the top."
"Ah Hui, don't worry, with my friendship with Master Zhu, he won't embarrass you, at most it's just a meal. For my sake, they shouldn't be too heavy. After this is over, I will give you a month's leave so that you can rest and recuperate, and I will give you an extra three months of monthly silver. Don't worry, I won't do you any wrong. Gao Renhe threw out the bait in a sincere tone.
What's the use of giving money, it's yourself who suffers from your flesh and skin. Alas, who calls himself a slave, this is fate. Although Gao Hui had a complaint in his heart, he still had to make a grateful look on his face: "Thank you for your compassion, rest assured, the old slave knows what to do, and he will not be implicated in the master." ”
Gao Renhe nodded, at this time the master also arrived, after the two sides met, explained their intentions, Gao Renhe pretended to be surprised, but still cooperated very well to let them take Gao Hui away.
"Executives, when you go to court, I hope you will honestly admit your guilt and don't try to get away with it, so as not to implicate others. The master punned, but his eyes looked at Gao Renhe.
"Master rest assured, since he did it, the county master will be punished according to the law, and Gao will have nothing to say. Gao Renhe said calmly.
The two confessed to each other, and they both relaxed their hearts.
After a while, Gao Hui was taken to the court, and when he saw the little guy looking at him fearfully, he glared at him fiercely, "Nothing is enough to succeed and more than anything to lose, go back and clean you up."
"Gao Hui, do you know this person?" asked Zhu Ming.
"Yes, he is a subordinate of Gaofu. ”
"It's good to know, master, tell him what crime this little guy has committed. ”
The master picked up the transcript on the case and read it to him.
"Gao Hui, is what he said true? Can you plead guilty?" Zhu Ming's words were all hints.
"It's true, the villain pleaded guilty. Gao Hui replied without thinking.
"Why do you want to do this? You have no grievances with our family, why do you want to frame us? Could it be that there is someone behind you? After all, you are just a housekeeper, a subordinate. The meaning of Xiao Han's words was obvious, she didn't believe that he did it.
This girl is smart, and she immediately discovered the truth of the matter, Gao Hui praised in his heart.
"Miss is something I grew up watching, and the master is very good to me, like a brother, these days I have watched the young lady and the old man because of Tang Gongzi's disappearance, I am very worried. I am anxious and hateful in my heart, I am anxious about the health of Miss and Master, I hate you Lin family, I hate you Lin Xiaohan, if it wasn't for you seducing Tang Gongzi, how could these things happen. The lord and the young lady are merciful and do not blame you, but I cannot help but hate you. So in order to take revenge on you, I went to Tang's house twice to discuss with Tang Dashan how to deal with you. We came up with this plan after a lot of calculations. I first found a lawyer to write a complaint, and then when the official went to the Lin family to arrest people, I sent this little servant to sneak into the Lin family, waiting for the opportunity to bury the silver in your yard. It is good to sit on the Lin family for the crime of seeking money and killing people. Gao Hui explained the reason for the incident in one go, and spoke very smoothly, as if these words were echoing in his mind many times.
At the end, he said, "My lord, I did all these things alone, and my lord didn't know anything about it. The lord is merciful, if he knew that I had framed me, he would have stopped it. ”
"My lord, he is obviously lying, he is a housekeeper, how much silver is the moon, where did he get so much silver. It is clear that there is a mastermind behind this matter, please be aware of it. Xiao Han mercilessly pointed out the loopholes in his words.
"That money is what I have saved for many years and is ready to use for retirement. The lord and the young lady treat me like a mountain, what is this money. Gao Hui's expression was resolute, even a little tragic, and he looked like a loyal servant.
There was an uproar outside the hall, but he didn't expect him to admit it so easily. didn't expect that all this was done by him in collusion with Tang Dashan and his wife.
The matter has come to this point, and Xiao Han has nothing to say. Gao Hui bit him to death and did it alone, and he didn't have the slightest evidence to prove that it was instigated by Gao Renhe, so this matter could only end here. She also knew that something like today was just an itch for Gao Renhe, and she couldn't make him hurt his muscles and bones. That's it, there will be a chance in the future.
Zhu Ming saw that Xiao Han stopped talking, and Han Guining was also silent, so he pronounced the verdict: "Okay, Gao Hui himself admitted that he did this behind his master's back, and it was framed, and the truth of this case has been revealed so far: Gao Hui colluded with Tang Dashan to frame Lin Jincai's family, and the evidence is conclusive, and the official announced the verdict, Gao Hui, Tang Dashan and his wife each hit fifty boards, and sentenced Gao Hui to frame the Lin family with one hundred taels of silver as compensation. As for Tang Yun's intention to harm Lin Xiaohan's three siblings, because the defendant Tang Yun is missing, there is still a lack of strong evidence, so he will put it aside for the time being, and then try Tang Yun after he is caught. Everyone in the Lin family was acquitted!"
"My lord, the women of the people are not convinced, why are they acquitted. My son is obviously missing, and it has a lot to do with their Lin family. Maybe they murdered you, but you have to be the master of the people's wife. Li did not give up and argued with himself.
Zhu Ming was impatient now, and said in a stiff tone: "The so-called life is to see people, and death is to see corpses." Now there is no one to be seen, and the body is not to be seen, so it can only be judged that it is missing. But it is unknown whether he himself was afraid of hiding or was harmed by others. If you want to say goodbye, wait until you find someone or a body. Retreat!" Zhu Ming patted the shocked wood, and was about to leave with his sleeves.
Han Guining stopped him: "My lord, slow." These three have not yet been executed. ”
When Zhu Ming heard this, he turned around in embarrassment and ordered: "What are you still doing in a daze, and you are not going to be punished." ”
The official answered, and immediately six people came out of the ranks, one of whom pressed the prisoner to the ground, and one of whom waved his staff of fire and water and began to beat him on the buttocks.
The board "snapped", the Li ghost cried wolf and howled, Tang Dashan endured it at first, and in the end he couldn't help but scream. Only Gao Hui endured it, his head was covered with cold sweat, his back was also wet, and he gritted his teeth and didn't say a word. What a tough guy, everyone praises him!
However, the years were not forgiving, and before they had played enough fifty boards, the three of them fainted one after another.
"My lord, they fainted. The official paused.
Zhu Ming glanced at Han Guining and saw him staring at him expressionlessly, so he had to order: "Stop and do something, keep playing for me, until you have enough fifty boards." ”
