After all, the Chu family and his wife are just businessmen, although they have also traveled south and north and seen a lot of the world, but after all, they are not people in the officialdom, and even if they are people in the officialdom, they are not in the center of power, and they are not that sensitive.

Even a person like Mrs. Meng, who is accustomed to using methods, was a little negligent when he heard the news at first glance, and after listening to the cause and effect, he only felt that it was not a difficult matter.

She also doesn't ask the government to handle it more impartially, so that the son of the Chu family can be acquitted, after all, she killed someone, she just wants the government case to be judged fairly, sentenced to a few years of exile, the Meng family is moving a little, let people take care of one or two on the road, and when they get to the place, they can take care of the local government, so that the son of the Chu family can suffer less, and he can come back in a few years, and he will go out to do business.

Although Hong Daotai is also a third-grade official, his strength is still a big step behind the current Meng, and the Hong family is gradually going downhill, no matter what aspect it comes from, it is not comparable to the Meng family, not to mention that there is a Dingwang Mansion.

In this case, the Hong family died a son, although they want the murderer to pay for their lives, but the government is not stupid, who dares to risk offending the Meng family and the Dingwang Mansion, distort the facts, and favor the Hong family?

But the subsequent situation is not optimistic.

At this time, the biggest headache is Yin Zhuying of Yancheng Mansion.

The moment he was transferred from the prisoner, he had a headache, and it was related to the Meng family, these popular powerful families, if nothing happened, there would be a series of accidents, and one would be made every few days, which was really a headache.

With Zhu Ying's experience in handling cases for so many years, I listened to it a little. can know the cause and effect, and since he is the governor of the government, he also knows everything about the children of the powerful people who often cause trouble in the local area.

That Hong Zhihao is a perverted embryo, lustful and domineering, often doing some things to steal incense and jade, and oppress the good, fortunately, this kid is colored and has no guts, and he doesn't know that the sky is high and the earth is thick, and the control of Hongdaotai is quite strict and not too conniving, and the things that this kid provokes are limited. Most of them take advantage of a small advantage. Occasionally, when I meet some unruly women who can't stand the temptation, they naturally hit it off, and they don't dare to force those who don't give in.

As for oppressing what is good. Most of them are several times more drunk. Make a fuss. Beat people up, cowardly suffer a little and admit bad luck, forget it, unwilling or seriously injured. Indeed, it was sued.

This kind of affair is mediated by the government, after all, most people only want compensation, even if they have some hearts, even if they are scared, who can risk offending the official family for the sake of justice? Besides, as long as there are no fatalities in ordinary fights, even if the government decides the case fairly, it is just a loss of money.

The officials in the court, unless the power is monstrous and unscrupulous, many times they don't want to cause trouble, on the ground of Yancheng, a casual flat-headed common man walking on the street, maybe there can be some dignitary relatives who are around and around, and they bully people hard, and people will bite you but it will be troublesome.

Zhu Ying has such a small account book in his heart, he knows who is and what temperament, as long as he hears the name of this person, he can guess who is right and wrong.

Now one side of this case is the son of the Taoist family, dressed in brocade clothes, followed by a bunch of evil slaves, and the other side is just a small boss of the silk village, who has no official and no lord, and is not a madman who wants to find death, otherwise who will take the initiative to provoke the powerful?

Ask again, sure enough, that's the case, this Hong Zhihao was drunk, caused trouble on the street, and was not bullied by a soft persimmon, or the rabbit was in a hurry and bit people, it is impossible for a big man not to fight back, probably this gentleman is a good woman who has been hollowed out, without beating, or when he went out in the morning without looking at the yellow calendar, he was actually beaten to death under the escort of a group of slaves.

If you really want to handle it impartially, this case is easy to handle, the facts of the case couldn't be clearer, Hong Zhihao caused trouble first, and the two sides had no grudges before, it was a conflict on the verge of death.

But the question now is, it is not ordinary people who are killed, can a son who died in a powerful family be the same as ordinary people? Not to mention that the lives of the Chu family brothers are not as good as the sons of the Hong family, even if the Chu family is destroyed, it will not be able to eliminate the hatred in Hong Daotai's heart.

Probably the Hong family is really unlucky for a while, but the Chu family is not an ordinary powerless and powerless ordinary people, he actually married a powerful family a few days ago, and now this case is annoying, no matter how it is decided, both sides will not be satisfied, and they are destined to offend one, and they will not offend both sides.

Zhu Ying returned to the inner house with a sad face.

When Mrs. Zhu saw him like this, she asked a few more questions.

Mrs. Zhu's knowledge is also high, there are some things that Zhu Ying can't figure out, but Mrs. Zhu can think of it, if it is inconvenient for a man to come forward, she can also help her in the backhouse communication, so this time Zhu Ying did not hide it from her, this kind of thing is not a secret, there is no need to hide it.

told Mrs. Zhu what had happened.

Mrs. Zhu couldn't help but wonder: "Master, although this lawsuit involves powerful people, but after all, there is nothing tricky, the case is clear at a glance, you just need to be fair, this Chu family brother has a big backer, and the one who died is such a gentleman, you are fair, who can say anything?" Even if the Hong family is not convinced, let them find the Chu family by themselves, how can they embarrass you, now their little arms can't twist other people's thighs, and the Hong family has more than one son, they won't bite to the death, and they will be against the Dingwangfu and the Meng family, right? As for the Meng family...... It seems that the Meng family is not very concerned about that granddaughter and will not ask too much.

"If that's the case, it's simple." Zhu Ying let out a long sigh, "I'm afraid things won't be so easy." ”

"Master, are you thinking too much? The case was simple. Mrs. Zhu smiled and was relieved, "In my opinion, this case is much simpler than those tricky cases you think, don't think too much, the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge." ”

"I hope so." Zhu Ying didn't want to say too much, as the governor of this powerful place, he was more sensitive to some things than ordinary people, but he didn't have to say it now, so that Mrs. Zhu would also worry about it, I hope he really thought too much.

……

As Zhu Ying thought, Mrs. Meng really didn't take this matter seriously. Meng Si is not her own child, she also pities this hard-working girl, takes care of it, and accumulates some merits, but to put it bluntly, there is no blood relationship between them, and family affection is really limited.

If the Chu brothers can save it, she naturally wants to save it, but she really can't save it, and she doesn't think it will happen. Just do your best. What's more, now that the Dingwang Mansion is intervening, she doesn't have to worry at all, she has dealt with Zhu Ying a few times.

Knowing that this Yancheng Mansion Yin is a person, he is quite slippery. But since it's a slippery head. You will know how to seek good fortune and avoid evil. Everything is easy to do, she doesn't believe that Zhu Ying dared to risk offending the Dingwang Mansion and the Meng family, and reversed black and white to sentence the Chu family brothers.

After all, the Hong family died of their son. is also an official in the court, she doesn't want to offend the Hong family too much, and find a way to get the Chu family completely offended, but according to Xiaofu's temperament, it may not be.

She can't control Xiaofu, it depends on Xiaofu's own mood.

However, Mrs. Quan Si and the Li family of the Guojun Wangfu entered the door almost at the same time, because it was indeed the same thing, which surprised Mrs. Meng.

Mrs. Kwon Si brought gossip from the market.

She was the most well-informed of this kind of news, so when she heard the news, she felt that something was wrong at the first time, so she rushed to inform Mrs. Meng.

In the case of the Chu family, news came out on the streets and alleys, and the statement was completely different.

Now that the road is uneven, he has become the second son of Hong, and the Chu brothers have become profiteers who take advantage of others.

It was said that the woman who bought the cloth entered the Chu family's shop, and the Chu brothers saw that they were alone, young and beautiful, so they made a joke, the woman was timid and dared not make a noise, and escaped from the store.

Hong Ergongzi happened to be passing by, not to mention that Hong Ergongzi was a scholar from a scholarly family, so he said that a big man couldn't watch a bully molesting a woman from a good family, so he scolded a few words, who knows, but the Chu family brothers were furious and beat Hong Ergongzi to death.

Nowadays, the streets and alleys are talking about how the Chu brothers like to bully the market, and they used to be fine, so they bullied their neighbors, and when selling cloth, they were shoddy and less in size.

But since climbing into a noble relative, the Chu brothers have become even more unscrupulous, not to mention buying and selling in business, but also daring, molesting female customers who come to the store alone, as well as some low-status and good-looking women in the neighborhood.

There are even witnesses, such as the tofu Shih Tzu mother and daughter in the tofu shop opposite, the tofu Shih Tzu has been doing business on a street for decades, just because her husband died early, there was no man at home to take care of her, and she was harassed by the Chu brothers, this tofu Shih Tzu was tofu Shih Tzu twenty years ago, but twenty years later it was already crippled into tofu slag, but there was a daughter who inherited the charm of her year, and she looked like a water spirit, and the fine and tender meat was the same as the tender tofu, but she was still a little girl, only thirteen years old.

They are all neighborhoods, the little girl was born on this street, everyone watched them grow up, their mouths were sweet, they were called uncles and aunts when they met and closed, and the Chu brothers were no exception, for such a little girl, the Chu brothers were even able to do it, it was really not as good as a beast, forcing Tofu Shih Tzu to abandon the decades-old store and hide back to the countryside with his daughter, which escaped.

These things are told with noses and eyes, the names of witnesses, and the places of residence.

If it weren't for the earlier time when Meng Si got married, Mrs. Meng had sent someone to carefully investigate the Chu family brothers. plus the previous wanted ...... of the second son of Hong It is impossible for such a person to do such a thing that has been unjust many times, and she almost thinks that this is the case just by listening to the narration of Mrs. Quan.

Mrs. Quan Si also told Mrs. Meng about the rumors on the streets and alleys now, and asked her to deal with it early, depending on the situation, the Hong family plans to rather offend the dead Meng family than the Chu family brothers to pay for their lives, it is no wonder, after all, no one can help the death of their son, but they can't imagine that the Hong family actually wants to distort the facts and use such a trick.

When Mrs. Meng heard this, her head suddenly ached.

From the narrative of Mrs. Quan's fourth wife, the Meng family was completely pulled into the water, and the Chu family brothers' bullying and domination of the market were all supported by the Meng family behind their backs, and now the Meng family wants to use their power to let the Chu family brothers get away with it.

But now is not the time for a headache.

Mrs. Quan Si entered the door two steps earlier than Li's, and she said that it was urgent, so she ordered her subordinates to entertain Li's Shanghua Hall to serve tea first, and she would come later.

If she changed to another noble lady, Mrs. Meng would definitely not dare to be so lazy, but the Li family, it can only be said that soft people, everyone will be slack, and the priorities of the matter are also helpless.

After listening to Mrs. Quansi's words, although she was in a hurry to think of countermeasures, she was not in a hurry at this moment, but the Li family in the flower hall could no longer hang it.

Mrs. Meng didn't even have time to catch her breath, so she asked Mrs. Quan Si to sit for a while, and she saw Li come to talk to Mrs. Quan Si again.

Mrs. Quan Si naturally did not dare to have any dissatisfaction.

Mrs. Meng arrived at the flower hall, took a deep breath at the door, calmed down her good mood, and tidied up her appearance, and then went to see the Li family.

Li actually came to sit as a lobbyist this time.

This surprised Mrs. Meng, this Li family is not a well-spoken person, the Hong family will actually ask her to be a lobbyist, but think about it, this kind of thing, the more shrewd probably won't do it, obviously thankless, easy to offend people.

Li Shi spoke a little slowly, Mrs. Meng listened patiently and slowly, and after getting to the point, thinking about Li Shi's words carefully, she couldn't help but be a little shocked in her heart.

Rather than helping the Hong family as a lobbyist, the Li family is here to remind him that this seemingly simple life lawsuit is not trivial, and the case is serious when he kills someone on the street.

It seems that it happened in front of everyone's eyes, and the facts of the case are clear and clear, but in fact, it is true, although there are many people on the street, but there are not many people who know the cause and effect from the beginning, and most of them are onlookers after the fight starts, and they are all timid and afraid of small people, and what they are most afraid of in life is to go to court, but I am afraid that it will be difficult to find someone to testify.

Even if you can find one or two people who are willing to stand up, and the Chu family can find a witness, can't the Hong family find it? It's all empty words, and when they get to the court, the two sides insist on their own words, and it is difficult to determine which is true and which is true, but it is true that Hong Gongzi was beaten to death on the street, and when entangled, the Chu family can't take advantage.

This kind of thing is spread falsely, and it is difficult to judge unless you see it with your own eyes.

The rumors on the streets of Yancheng are now the same every day.

In addition, there is another thing that the world sympathizes with the weak and then favors the weaker side, originally in this case, the ordinary people Chu family should be the sympathetic party to the Hong family, the family of Shangguan Eunuch, but with the involvement of the Meng family and the Dingwang Mansion, the situation was immediately reversed.

In the officialdom, Hong Daotai's official reputation is good, but Hong Ergongzi is a little out of tune, but he hasn't done anything angry and resentful, although most people who are good friends with the Hong family know Hong Ergongzi's problems, but the so-called cold lips and teeth, really because of a little thing, this ordinary people don't have to pay for their lives when they kill people, who is an official who doesn't despise cold?
