15. Refer to a deer as a horse
It was still dark, so Gu Xiang got up from the bed-
Thinking that today was the day when the old man was on trial, Gu Xiang's heart was crumbled.
When I came to the main house, I saw that it was already brightly lit. Not only Gu Xiuwen was already waiting on the side, but even the old lady Gu, who had just woken up not long ago, also forced herself out of bed.
"What are you doing here?" Gu Yuanshan is now in the age of sixties, because of the perennial business, there is always a kind smile between his eyebrows, but in recent years, everything has not gone well, and the death of his son has given the old man an almost fatal blow, and because of the matter of his step-heir, he almost ate prison food, and has even been bullied by the clansmen openly and secretly in recent years......
All kinds of affairs made Gu Yuanshan almost breathless, and he looked a little older than his peers.
"Don't do bad things, don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door. What does the missing carriage have to do with us? Since Lord Zhou was a clean official, he couldn't put the crime on my head for no reason. β
Even so, there was undoubtedly a vague bitterness and resentment in his tone.
Old Madam Gu had already turned her head to wipe her eyes secretly, Gu Xiuwen's eyes were also red, but now that the old and sick people in this room were sick, if she cried too, I was afraid that the old father would be even more chaotic. Fortunately, He'er sent someone to deliver a letter yesterday, saying that he had already found Gu Chengyun, and he barely smiled at the moment:
"What Dad said is, besides, He'er didn't send someone to say-"
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted sharply by Gu Yuanshan:
"Don't involve He'er."
said that he found Gu Chengyun, but he was just relieving his heart. After all, for so many days, I have been taking people around to inquire, but there is no clue, the so-called sea of people, and a girl, how can I find out people? The child is a filial person, so he is afraid that he will take risks for himself.
Gu Xiuwen was taken aback:
"Dad, don't worry, my daughter has a measured ......"
ββAs a mother, do you feel sorry for your child? Not to mention that he is just a child under his knees. But this is the old father, how can he watch him being forced to such a point, but choose to stand by and watch?
Seeing Gu Xiuwen crying, Gu Yuanshan was also miserable, but he still refused to agree:
"Xiuwen, your mother and I are destined to be just a daughter like you, and He'er can be regarded as the only little blood left in our family. No matter how my father is, he can't let my granddaughter suffer with him. β
Although He'er bears the name of the Yang family's daughter-in-law, it has some weight when looking for someone to intercede, but what is a good thing? The granddaughter was born with a hard life, and she was plotted in her mother's womb, although she saved her life, but she lost her appearance, and because of what hindrance there was in her name, she didn't look blind even if she died.
"Even you, don't interfere, just be your daughter-in-law of the Yang family. The son-in-law is a good one, don't embarrass him. At the end of the sentence, the tone was quite harsh.
Although he is a businessman, Gu Yuanshan likes to read the most, and he has always believed that his son-in-law is a really talented person, and he has always admired it. Over the years, the son-in-law has had a hard time, Gu Yuanshan wants to help but is powerless, and even because of family affairs, the son-in-law frequently bows to others......
At the moment, if even his granddaughter is involved, the old man will not be able to accept it.
Knowing that his wife and daughter were worried, Gu Yuanshan tried his best to be more relaxed, so he used some porridge, looked at the light outside, pushed away his rice bowl and got up:
"Just wait at home, I'll go to the lobby and I'll be back soon."
Gu Xiang had already prepared the car, watched Gu Yuanshan come out, and hurriedly stepped forward to support him, and the master and servant went to the county hall with each other.
Just about to get on the main road, he happened to meet several big cars from the patriarch Gu Yuanfeng's house.
It wasn't Gu Yuancang who was sitting in the first car?
Gu Yuancang also saw Gu Yuanshan's master and servant, his heart was not ordinary greasy, and his mood was also very bad - this time it was really a mistake. Gu Yuanshan, who has always been allowed to flatten and pinch himself, did not run to bow his head.
What's even more strange is the attitude of the patriarch Gu Yuanfeng.
Because of the disappearance of their only son, Gu Yuanfeng and his wife were in a hurry, and they couldn't afford to lie down one after another, otherwise, they would not have been able to make decisions for the Zheng family in such a big matter as suing.
After arriving yesterday, I found that although Gu Yuanfeng was looking extremely haggard and in good spirits, he didn't know why, but he treated himself coldly. Obviously, I saw that I was running to find the carrier, and this brother was very grateful.
Could it be that you blame yourself for stretching your hand too long?
Forget it, what's wrong with him, as long as he can force Gu Yuanshan to bow his head and solve his urgent needs for himself, Gu Yuanfeng is not happy if he is not happy, anyway, he is a soft-eared person, it is not easy to coax him?
As for whether the complaint will fail, Gu Yuancang is not worried at all-
It was Zhou Zhizhong who was in charge of hearing the case! This alone is enough to give you a six-point chance of winning.
There is no need to wait for Zhou Zhizhong to punish the crime immediately, as long as Gu Yuanshan is interrogated every three or five times, this old thing has to bow his head and obediently send two silver taels.
"Ouch, isn't this the second brother!" Gu Yuancang poked his head out, and the yin and yang were weird, and he also stretched out his head to see what was happening outside.
Gu Yuanshan's face changed. Gu Xiang was holding the reins, and his body began to tremble.
Gu Yuancang got out of the car, walked to Gu Yuanshan's car, lay down at the window and whispered: "Even if this person has a lot of money, his life is not important, right?" Or maybe the second brother wants me to help talk about itβ"
The next moment, the hand that was climbing the car window was hit to the side, but it was Gu Yuanshan, who was trembling with anger:
"Gu Yuancang, you have lost your conscience! You will die of this heart, even if my money is used to feed the dogs, I will never give you a penny! β
"Ahh It's really not a coffin without tears! You'd better keep being stubborn and don't just kowtow and beg for mercy later! I didn't expect that at this time, Gu Yuanshan still dared to compete with himself, Gu Yuancang was suddenly a little angry, "I've seen a black-hearted person, but I've never seen a villain like you." What's the matter, if you cut off the lives of your children and grandchildren, you can't see other people's children and grandchildren? What's the benefit to you of harming our Gu Clan's Sect? Tell me to say, you just can't see our clan, right? If God doesn't accept you for such a scourge, I will have to accept you too--five sons of our family, and I will pay for your life and four! What am Lao Tzu afraid of! β
scolded and returned to the car, rushed in front of Gu Yuanshan and went in the direction of the county government hall, and when the car passed by, there was a burst of smoke and dust.
Gu Xiang was choked and coughed, Gu Yuanshan sat in the car, and thought of his young son who died young, and he was also in tears-Gu Yuancang dared to bully himself again and again, isn't it because he has no son!
"Lord Zhou, please-" Seeing that it was already the time to arrive, Zhu Zikang was leading in front, and Zhou Zhizhong was sinking like water in the back.
Zhou Zhizhong waved his hand: "Lord Zhu, don't be polite, today you are the chief judge, just watch from the sidelines." β
As he spoke, he sat down straight to the guest seat next to him.
There was a burst of applause below, but it was the old man of Yunping, who heard that the original Zhou County Order had arrived, and they all rushed over from home. In addition, there are many more to see the excitement -
The dispute between Gu Yuancang and Gu Yuanshan, the two cousins, has not been a year or two, I heard that even the patriarch of the Gu clan is involved right now, and even Gu Yuanshan may even kill Gu Chengyun, the son of the Gu clan!
That's a big deal.
After all, the folk customs of Yunping are quite kind, and they just listen to what others say, and now there is a case under their noses! When the news came out, villagers from ten miles and eight towns rushed to watch.
Where has Zheng Qian seen this battle? Before I got out of the car, my legs were a little weak.
Thanks to Zheng's support, he lowered his voice and said:
"What are you afraid of? Didn't we leave with Gu Yuanshan at the beginning? I can't find anyone now, who is I not looking for him? We didn't tell a lie. Besides, you forgot your uncle's words, they all said that officials protect each other, your cousin Chengshan has a good relationship with this Lord Zhou, are you still afraid that he will not be towards us? All you have to do is cry! β
Saying that, the two arms exerted force, and the half-dragged and half-hugged Xiao Zheng out of the car.
Zheng Qian only felt that her head was "buzzing" for a while, and her brain was still a little wooden, and she was stunned like a puppet. Zheng couldn't, so he secretly pinched his niece's waist and eyes.
Zheng Qian let out a painful "whoop". Fortunately, in this voice, I really cried tears:
"My hard-working father-in-law, where have you been pitted? Leaving our family's old and young father-in-law for so many days, he doesn't have any teeth, and his mother-in-law's eyes are about to cry blind, if you don't come back, our family will be scattered! β
Just as Gu Xiang helped Gu Yuanshan to come over, Zheng Qian rushed over like crazy, dragging Gu Yuanshan and crying and shouting:
"Second uncle, second uncle, where did you get my father-in-law? Where the hell did our family offend you, you want to do this to us......"
Gu Yuanshan is old after all, how can he stand steady when he is pushed by Zheng Qian like this? I almost fell down under the stagger, but fortunately, Liu Zhutou was standing next to him, and he was busy reaching out to hold it, and thinking of the courtesy he received when he came to Gu Yuanshan's house before, he glared at Zheng Qian:
"Hugh is going to roar in court!"
Zheng Qian was startled, and she didn't dare to be presumptuous, but she cried even more, and turned to kowtow to Gu Yuanshan constantly:
"Second uncle, second uncle, I kowtow to you, the original matter really has nothing to do with my family, my father-in-law is the patriarch, even if you have money, he can't help without conscience, you have a lot of adults, don't be like us, return my father-in-law......"
Zhu Zikang's head was about to explode when Zheng Qian cried, and his face sank and he was about to scold, but Zhou Zhizhong had already said angrily:
"What kind of roaring court, the people have grievances and can't declare them, how not to cry out for grievances, Zheng, don't cry, just tell the grievances."
When his father died, didn't his mother always have to use such an unseemly method to make the black-hearted clansmen retreat?
And the head catcher of the Yaxia clearly has a lot of protection for the defendant, so he may not have taken much benefit from Gu Yuanshan.
Hearing that Zhou Zhizhong's words were wrong, Liu Zhutou was really frightened, and as soon as he let go of his hand, Gu Yuanshan fell to his knees. The officials on both sides immediately raised their killing sticks, and the sound of "mighty" immediately resounded in the court.
At the same time, in the private room of the restaurant diagonally opposite the county office, the curtain was gently lifted to a corner, and a small face covered with white gauze shook for a moment, just as he saw Gu Yuanshan lying on his stomach in the lobby trembling, and a pair of eyes turned red.
