Chapter 52: I'm Angry With You!
The two witnesses in the account room each received fifty taels of silver tickets, all of which were given by the big account himself, and asked them to make false testimony for him and frame the head of the eldest young master. Moreover, these two people not only benefited, but also had some handles in the hands of the big account, so they had to be bold and accomplices.
The testimony of the two men was obtained through separate interrogation, which not only corroborated each other, but was also personally supervised by the housekeeper and others, and there was no problem of falsification. And after a while, according to what the two said, they quickly found two silver tickets of fifty taels, and for a while the evidence was conclusive, and it was impossible to deny the big account even if they wanted to deny it.
Ziyue didn't squeak either, but Steward Wu explained the interrogation method ordered by the eldest lady in a few words, and there was no punishment at all, it was nothing more than giving them two choices: first, continue to lie, send it to the official for investigation and handling in time, and if you don't die, you have to lose half of your life, and you have to suffer from the family. Second, to tell the truth and make meritorious contributions, the punishment can be reduced and the family will no longer be implicated.
The two options are simple and straightforward, and they are given only a quarter of an hour to think about it, and after that time they are not given any more opportunities, and they are all severely punished.
Originally, the matter was already in a disadvantageous position, plus the two were interrogated separately, and I heard that the person who told the truth first could get a greater lenient punishment, and the two people in the account office were not stupid, and it didn't take long for them to get everything out.
In this way, it is natural that the evidence is ironclad, and the big account can no longer be denied, so he changed his face and finally cried and admitted the matter. It's just that he has lost nearly 10,000 taels of silver, and there is no way to fill in the loopholes, so he is afraid that the master will find out, so he came up with such a strategy, and asked the master to spare him this time.
Han Feng listened. was so angry that he wanted Steward Wu to take down the big account and send it to the government for investigation on the spot. However, he was stopped by Han Jiangxue.
"Father, he has a little bookkeeper. Where is the loss of nearly 10,000 taels of silver? Even if it was really as he said that he had lost the Han family's money, so he set up a bureau to find someone to be a substitute for the dead ghost, then what normal person would dare to frame the master to take the blame for him? Doesn't that make sense? ”
Han Jiangxue subconsciously understood that sending people to the government was probably taking advantage of Liu's heart, otherwise it would be impossible for this big account to be so clean and take all the blame on himself.
She said without hesitation: "What the big account does is clearly instructed by someone, and the person who instructed it is clear that he wants to harm my eldest brother, this matter is very important, and it is not as simple as it seems on the surface." He also asked his daughter to ask the person behind the curtain first, and severely punished him. lest everyone think that the people of the Han family are so harmful in the future! ”
"Yes, there must be someone behind the big account, otherwise how dare a little subordinate frame me for no reason?" Han Jing agreed with the girl's words, and looked at the Liu family while speaking, without hiding it at all.
Seeing this, Liu couldn't bear it anymore again, and said to Han Feng extremely aggrieved and angry: "Master, don't you look at their brother and sister, don't they make it clear that they want me to bear the blame?" I've offended them for something, and I have to bear such a stigma for no reason. So vilified by them? ”
When Han Feng saw this situation, he opened his mouth and wanted to reconcile first, but before he could say anything, he was picked up by Han Jiangxue again.
"Mother, which one are you singing? Neither my eldest brother nor I said that you were the person behind the scenes. You are so anxious to jump out and deny it, don't you have a ghost in your heart? Han Jiang Xueping said calmly: "Even if my eldest brother questioned you before, it just said that the big account was promoted by you. Question why you would promote such a malicious person, and never admit that such a malicious person has framed him. And you forcibly blamed Big Brother in the first place. Deliberately distort the words of the eldest brother in front of your father, so that the father will understand your meaning that the eldest brother blames you for everything. Is your heart really so bright? ”
"Strong words, what can't I be above board? You're all looking at me like that, what's the difference between it and pointing it out? Besides, your eldest brother clearly meant that, so why did I wronged him? Liu's face was even more ugly, and he swore in front of Han Feng: "If I have the slightest intention of harming their brothers and sisters, I would rather die a good death!" ”
Han Feng was sandwiched between his children and his wife, and he didn't know how to round the field for a while.
It is already clear that the son was wronged and framed, and a pair of children questioned the Liu family for various reasons. Although he was also quite dissatisfied with some of Liu's actions, he didn't believe that Liu would do the kind of thing that instructed others to frame Jing'er behind his back.
After hesitating for a moment, Han Feng still spoke out to mediate a few sentences, only saying that everyone should not be too careful, sit down and talk well. Mo was framed by outsiders, but he hurt his family's feelings again. And he also agreed that his daughter would interrogate the big account again to see if there were any other instructors behind the big account, and it would be better to figure it out than to be suspicious of each other.
As a result, neither side has any more-for-tat arguments. And the big account was simply tight, and no one instructed him to do so, but because he owed a huge debt for gambling money, and he had no choice but to make this decision. Now that he was exposed on the spot by the eldest lady, he was willing to listen to the fate in order to repay his crimes.
In short, this man insisted that he did the thing, and no one had anything to do with him.
Seeing this, Han Jiangxue didn't ask much, and directly asked Steward Wu to pull down the big account and hit the board until he told the truth.
After the big account was brought down, the people in the room couldn't help but look at Han Jiangxue, who thought that the eldest lady had some special good way to make the big account speak, but she didn't expect that it was just a board.
Seeing that his brother and father were looking at him with puzzled expressions, Han Jiangxue explained a little and said, "Let him suffer a little first." ”
After that, he didn't say anything more, but quietly glanced at Ziyue, signaling him to go outside and watch it.
Soon after Ziyue went out, the screams of the big account over there became more and more terrifying, but the big account was also a hard bone, and after taking thirty boards in a row, he still gritted his teeth and took everything without letting go.
Soon, Steward Wu came in to report that he had already beaten forty boards, and if he continued to fight, he was afraid that he would not be able to save his life.
Seeing this, Han Feng said to his daughter: "He still doesn't let go of all the fights like this, isn't this really his own doing?" ”
Han Jiangxue didn't reply to Han Feng's words, but just raised her voice outside and said, "Keep fighting!" ”
Someone here gave an order, and the board over there continued, and the screams were no longer so scary, and the big account would not have much air intake, and of course there would be no strength to cry out in pain.
The Liu family didn't care too much at first, but now that Han Jiangxue clearly wanted to kill people directly, he had to persuade Han Feng: "Master, if you continue to fight, you will die, so don't fight and leave it to the government." ”
Da Tuo's life is not important, but the important thing is that she has other uses, so of course Liu doesn't want to watch the living become dead and affect other major events.
But obviously, Han Jiangxue didn't want to do what the Liu family wanted, although she didn't know what effect the big account had for the Liu family, but if the Liu family could have avoided suspicion at such a time but jumped out to protect people, it showed that the life of the big account still had value for the Liu family.
"Mother is too merciful, and the evidence of the crime committed by the big account is conclusive, and it is not a pity to die. Our Han family already has this right to deal with it, even the government can't find the slightest mistake. Han Jiangxue refuted lightly, the more the Liu family hoped that the government would handle the matter, it meant that the government was afraid that someone would do it.
The Liu family has a large enough background, so the relationship between the government is of course easy to handle, which is obviously to save people's lives through the government, and then secretly replace people in the future. Change your name and surname, and as long as you don't find out, everything will be nothing.
So Han Jiangxue naturally won't let it go, anyway, it is absolutely impossible for the big account to bite out the Liu family, and he is bent on taking the blame without any unwillingness. For her, even if she pinched it in her hands, she couldn't squeeze out anything useful, so it was better to kill her directly, whether it was Liwei or a warning, in short, it would be beneficial to her to let Liu lose something.
"Xue'er, this is also a human life! Our Han family has always been generous, wouldn't it make outsiders question our Han family by directly killing them like this? Liu's tone was tinged with imperceptible anxiety.
"Mother, this is a woman's kindness, and generosity depends on who she is, if you have pity and sympathy for this kind of slave who even dares to frame and calculate, it will only make more people who don't know life and death follow suit. On the contrary, it makes people feel that our Han family master is weak and can be bullied! ”
As soon as Han Jiangxue's words were finished, the purple moon entered briskly, and said that the big account could not stand it if it was only sixty boards, and it would be out of breath.
Liu Shi suddenly stopped speaking, but his face was gloomy and unconcealable.
Han Jiangxue looked at his father and said: "It's okay if he is dead, he is clearly going to take the blame for others, even if he sends it to the government, it is impossible to find out anything, but it just makes the Han family have one more ugly matter and become the talk of everyone in the capital after dinner." Fortunately, the eldest brother has cleared his wrongs, otherwise our Han family is afraid that we will have to go to heaven again. ”
Hearing this, Han Feng immediately understood, his daughter's idea was not wrong, no matter whether there was a behind-the-scenes command behind the big account, in short, it was difficult to completely understand this matter for a while, so he could only find a way to verify it in the future. If you get the official government, not only will it not have any effect, but it will only make the Han family lose face.
Therefore, Han Feng quickly nodded and instructed Steward Wu to drive the other two subordinates who had made false testimonies out of the Han family with thirty boards each, and they were not allowed to step into the Han family for half a step in the future. At the same time, he also asked the housekeeper to warn everyone in the house with today's events, and if there are any people with bad intentions, they will all be under the big account.
Steward Wu was thoughtful, so he naturally understood what the old man meant, and soon took someone down to deal with the finish.
Han Feng ordered all irrelevant people to withdraw from the hall first, leaving only his wife and children to resolve the contradictions in private. (To be continued......)
