Chapter 240: Controversy

Shui Jin came back from Yangzhou to fight, and he would not be delayed in Jinling for too long.

After lunch, Shui Jin set off again and headed for Yangzhou.

It's just that this time he wanted to go it alone but couldn't,

His personal guards were still on the way, and the owner of the horse village was in his personal guard, drew a hundred people, and then went to Yangzhou.

……

Today is October 17, the gentry of Jinling City are concerned about Jia San's case, and the people are concerned about the closed city gate.

After daybreak, they found that the four gates were closed.

"There's no going to be another war, is it?"

"If you can't keep it even, otherwise why would the city wall be repaired so quickly?"

"I live at the base of the city wall, and there are soldiers working in three shifts, day and night...... It's only half a month's work, and it's about to close in a few feet! ”

"It's just not allowed to go out, and it's okay to enter the city...... I can't say what fugitives are preventing......"

After a lot of speculation, the last speculation became the mainstream.

Song Lin obediently felt that when he heard the rumors, he immediately asked the yamen to post a lot of bonus notices, which seemed to fit the speculation of the people.

At the top of the notice, the bounty was offered for those bullies who had served as tigers and fish for the common people.

Some took advantage of the chaos to escape from Jinling, and some went into hiding.

In addition to these names and surnames, the notice also mentions "inter-generation" and "alien races" to make trouble, and unidentified suspicious people can also be reported, and once verified, there will be corresponding rewards.

The bonus bounty ranges from five taels of silver to more than five hundred taels.

The reward for reporting ranges from 100 yuan to 100 taels of silver.

And the eyes of the people lit up.

No one cared whether the gates continued to be closed, and no one was afraid of war, and everyone stared at the living people near their homes.

It is difficult to find a wanted criminal with a name and surname, and I don't know where the cat is.

But the scope of this unidentified suspicious person is large.

Jinling City has a large population and has its own place to hide dirt and dirt.

In two days, the Yamen of the Jinling Prefect obtained more than 300 reports of various kinds, and seized three gangs of human traffickers, nine previously wanted criminals, and 15 spies from Goryeo, Warat, Waren, and Siam.

The Jinling Yamen gave a reward of more than 300 taels of silver.

Even where the bounty is offered, there are also a few people who have received it anonymously.

The security in Jinling City is a solemnity.

……

On the side of Taiwei's Mansion, Huo Bao did not pay attention to the movements of the Yamen of the Jinling Prefect, and was waiting for news from Yangzhou.

Yangzhou is more than 100 miles away from Jinling by water, and then 30 miles by land.

Calculating the time, the Chuzhou army has already approached the city.

……

On 20 October, the news from Yangzhou had not yet returned, and the Jinling prefect's yamen opened a court to try Jia San's "lawless" matter.

After the co-defendant confessed in the first household department, Jia San not only matched the two cases, but also proposed the method of "going to the household sticker" and "changing the land deed".

In this way, Jia San, the intermediary accomplice, became the main offender.

When it comes to human life, it cannot be spared.

In the end, Jia San was sentenced to serve in a hard labor camp for seven years, and his property was confiscated.

All the 180 taels of silver bribed in the case were recovered, and a fine of 10 times was imposed, which was used as funeral silver and bereavement silver for the two families.

The latter case was okay, the bitter master was all there, and he got back the ancestral inheritance, and he also got 990 taels of silver as a funeral pension.

In the latter case, the widow's father and mother were gone, and there was only one uncle and brother, and he still received money from his cousin-in-law's clan, and was one of the accomplices in correcting the widow's misconduct.

The widow's adopted son was also imprisoned for murder.

Lord Song also sentenced his adopted son to intentional homicide.

"Killing to stop killing" is not advocated, but this adopted son kills because of filial piety, which belongs to "righteous killing", which is different.

Moreover, when this adopted son killed someone, the old wife of the clan elder and the younger brother of the grandson were by his side, and he did not harm the innocent.

After the killing, he voluntarily surrendered.

And the widow's bereavement was nine hundred and ninety taels of silver, and it was to be given to the family of the deceased as compensation for the adopted son.

The adopted son was sentenced to twelve years in a hard labor camp.

Killing people to pay for their lives, and paying off debts is justified.

Jia San's verdict came out, and no one questioned it.

Although he did not kill with his own hands, he indirectly killed three people.

It is already a fluke to confiscate the property under his name, but he can save his life.

However, the adopted son was sentenced to twelve years, which caused different opinions.

In the restaurant teahouse, many people talked about this case.

Someone said: "The sentence is heavy, the adoptive mother is also a mother, avenging the unjust death of the mother is a filial piety and righteousness, and the people who kill are all people who can be killed, and the sentence should not be heavy!" ”

The clan should have sheltered the clansmen, and the clan elders were also old and virtuous people, but they were greedy, and they were still killed by the festival women, and they used "mother-son injustice" to defile people's innocence, leaving no room for them, and they already had the heart of murder.

Someone said: "The sentence is light! The murderer dies, this is an iron law in all dynasties! Regardless of the internal situation, it should be decided by the public trial of the Yamen. If everything is fought and killed, then what else does the yamen do? Even if the grandfather and grandson falsely accuse people of innocence and take away people's property, it should be a yamen trial, not a murder to vent their anger, otherwise the world will be really chaotic! ”

Someone said: "Isn't this world still chaotic?" Chuzhou Military ...... To put it bluntly, everyone knows what it is......"

Everyone was silent, and they all sweated for this old man who dared to speak.

Although the Chuzhou Army does not have the meaning of "being convicted for words" at the moment, it does not mean that it will not be in the future.

Someone sneered and said: "What the gentlemen said is lively, is it doubting that Song Fuzun will not judge the case?" ”

“……”

I have to say that Song Lin Zhishi's qualifications are still quite scary.

Even if someone questioned the Chuzhou Army, no one questioned the fairness of the new prefect.

When everyone argued again, they talked about "love and law", and no longer talked about the difference between the prefect's yamen under the Chuzhou Army and the previous prefect's yamen.

No matter how fierce the argument is, it is also an outsider, just to watch it and listen to it.

……

Jia family.

Mr. and Mrs. Jia were in the game, relatively speechless.

Mrs. Jia gritted her teeth and said, "I'll just say, what kind of fanfare is making such a show?" It must be Jia Erbu who is not angry that the old man passed the weaving factory to the third child, and deliberately tossed it, which is rather confiscated than cheaper! ”

Master Jia smiled bitterly: "Is it time to care about this now?" Didn't you listen, the murderer was also in a hard labor camp! ”

No matter how angry he was with his son, he couldn't help but do whatever it took to watch his son die.

Needless to say, this place knows what to do.

Now the Chuzhou army is repairing the city wall, in addition to the soldiers, there is also hard labor, and what they do is the dirtiest and most tiring errand.

Jia Sanjiao has been used to raising for more than 20 years, where has he ever suffered that hardship?

At the moment, even if he honestly suffers, he may not be able to endure for a long time.

In order to avenge his mother, the murderer even killed his clansmen, not to mention Jia San, an outsider.

There is no need to intentionally kill people, just secretly find an opportunity to kill him, who cares about life or death for a hard servant?

Mrs. Jia said anxiously: "What should I do then?" The Wang family received three thousand taels of silver, and the third child was not given a light sentence, so he continued to give his family silver? ”

Even if she is a relative of her mother's family, Mrs. Jia is also dissatisfied.

I'm not afraid that they will make money, but if they don't do their best to make money, they won't be kind.

Master Jia got up and said, "I understand, the Wang family is useless...... In this matter, I have to ask the historian to ...... You prepare a banker's ticket, and I'll go to Shi's house......"

Mrs. Jia reluctantly took the Zhuang ticket, puzzled, and said, "At this time, don't you want the eldest and second?" They made it out and made the old man bow his head! ”

Master Jia glared at his wife and said, "The boss is not that kind of person, and he will not allow the second child to design like this!" ”

Because the second child has already taken revenge.

Jia San is abolished, Jia Si is cowardly and can't stand up, and this Jia family is still Jia Yan's brother in the end.

Mrs. Jia was about to say more when she heard a movement at the door.

It was the few remaining older generations of the Jia clan who arrived.

"Sixth Uncle, Ninth Uncle, Eleventh Uncle, why are you here?"

Mr. Jia hurriedly got up to greet him, and Mrs. Jia also got up, and followed behind her husband like a little daughter-in-law.

"What is left of such a black-hearted and unkind woman who has no way to teach her children? Don't stop going, don't defile the lintel of Jia's house! ”

The first old man, in his old age, was on crutches, pointed at Mrs. Jia, and scolded.

Mrs. Jia was shocked and angry.

The elder of the other clan also chimed in: "That is, the woman of the ruined family, 'talking too much' and 'stealing', is committing seven crimes, and she should have left a long time ago!" ”

This "many words" refers to her bewitching Master Jia and separating the father-son relationship between Master Jia and Jia Yan's brothers.

"Theft" refers to the two weaving mills.

In order to justify the transfer of the two weaving factories to Jia San's name, Mrs. Jia had to do something first, and replaced the two places with the two worthless shops under her own name, and transferred them to her own name, which was regarded as a marriage.

A woman's dowry is her own decision, so naturally she will give it to whomever she likes.

It's just that this one can fool outsiders, but it can't fool the Jia clan.

Speaking of it now, it is just the right one for "theft".

Mrs. Jia looked at her husband and couldn't help but feel suspenseful.

These days, her husband is cold to her, and she is afraid that her husband will abandon her.

In addition to pleading, there was also a bit of determination in her eyes.

She can be a "wife", but her children can't have a "mother", otherwise she won't be able to raise her head for the rest of her life, let alone get married.

If her husband is really ruthless, she can only be a ghost of the Jia family.

Master Jia couldn't help but smile bitterly.

The eldest son and the second son lost their mother at an early age is a bitter fate, can I still bear to let my young son and daughter lose their mother?

Not to mention that Mrs. Jia's parents have long since passed away, and her brother is an official in the capital, and her mother's family has no one to rely on.

The clan elder who never spoke: "Although the Wang family has committed the 'seven outs' rule, he has served three years of mourning for his eldest brother and sister-in-law, and he belongs to the list of 'three no'......"

When Mrs. Jia heard this, her eyes couldn't help but light up.

I heard the old man continue: "It's just that such an immoral person is really unbearable for the Jia clan wife, enter the family temple to pray for the blessings of the descendants!" ”

When Mrs. Jia heard this, her body softened.

There is a rule in the Jia family that women who enter the family temple are not allowed to enter or leave.

It is to be locked up until old age and death.

If the children and grandchildren ignore the clan law and family rules, only think about their filial piety, and take it out, the entire branch will be expelled from the clan.

Master Jia nodded slowly.

This is the best solution at hand.

This is a result that can be accepted by the clan elder and the Jia Yan brothers.

……

Historian.

It was not surprising that Master Shi and Uncle Shi Cong knew the results of today's Jia San case.

The cloth village has been closed for a few days, and the treasury has been counted.

But how to deliver this thing is still a problem.

Whether it is the Taiwei Mansion or the Jinling Prefect's Yamen, they are all behemoths for the historians, and they cannot be treated lightly by the historians.

"Or ...... My nephew went to the Taiwei Mansion and asked to see Xiao Baoye? ”

Shi Cong has been a "fugitive" for half a year, and he has fear and distrust in his heart for the yamen.

He also didn't like the Song Governor's methods very much.

Although Jia San has had, he has been sentenced and sentenced, and the punishment has been confiscated, and it should be stopped.

It would have been too much to send the enemy with him to a forced labor camp.

It's just a threat to the old couple of the Jia family.

They are reluctant to give birth to their own flesh and blood, and they have to continue to jump up and down.

But in addition to Master Jia, the head of the Jia family, there is also a Ying clan elder.

Those people are not kind-hearted people.

In March, Mrs. Jia was able to take advantage of the raid on the Xue family to successfully trick her husband into removing her stepson, and they fanned the flames.

Now that such an evil fire is being fanned on Mrs. Jia.

Master Shi shook his head and said, "It's not appropriate! ”
