Chapter 8 Impartiality
The others burst into laughter! Ning Jiang looked at Chaohong again: "Since Ning Yicheng did it, why did you wronged me?" ”
Chaohong continued to cry: "Master Ji said, as long as I say that it was Young Master Jiang who did it, he will help me get rid of my nationality and settle real estate for me and my children, it was Master Ji who asked me to do it, and it was Master Ji who asked me to do it......"
Everyone was shocked again, and Ning Ji lost his soul: "Nonsense, she is talking nonsense." ”
Ning Jiang looked at the other four women: "What about you?" ”
Now that Chaohong has already confessed, what else do the four of them have to insist on? Can't you really gamble with Ningjiang for that money? hurriedly confessed, and the spearhead was all pointed at Ning Ji. Ning Ji was anxious and angry, to this point, not to mention bringing down Ning Jiang, he was simply unable to protect himself.
The old men who were originally discussing with Ning Ji glanced at each other, and they all knew that Ning Ji was finished, so they quickly changed their words and scolded Ning Ji with others, eager to hold Ning Jiang's thigh to show that they were just deceived by Ning Ji, and for a while, all the dirt was planted in Ning Ji, and Ning Ji had nothing to do except keep shouting nonsense.
The corners of Ning Jiang's mouth overflowed with a sneer, at yesterday's crown ceremony, Ning Ji occupied the principle of "etiquette", and used the trend of secretly operating, using these women who were bought by him as evidence. Reasonable, powerful, and well-founded, Ning Jiang was caught off guard by him. However, now, Ning Jiang first designed to make his son a "murderer", so that he could no longer occupy the righteousness of etiquette, invited many onlookers, and took advantage of the situation to force people, and now he has reversed the so-called evidence in public, so that Ning Ji has no backhand.
Reason, power, and according to the three are all on his side now, and the position of the head of his main family and the patriarch of the Ning clan has been secured, and now there is only one last bit of trouble left.
There was a sudden commotion outside, and the crowded crowd got out of the way: "The county lord is here!" "The county lord has arrived!" ……
Ning Ji ignited hope, the county lord came, and the county lord was on his side.
A group of guards forcibly separated the crowd, and Cao Qiding came out in a row, and said coldly: "Why are so many people gathered here, is it to make trouble?" "As soon as he appeared, he pointed to someone gathering to make trouble.
Ning Jiang gave up his hand: "My lord, Ning Ji bought these five women to frame Xiaomin, they have already explained clearly, and neighbors, villagers, and elders can all testify...... Do you think so? ”
Although there are also a few people who realize that the county lord is secretly helping Ning Ji, where would more people think of what Ning Ji has done, and there is actually the county lord's instruction in secret? Seeing that Young Master Ning Jiang was asking, they all helped Ning Jiang testify, and said the confessions of Chaohong and others clearly.
Cao Qiding got the news of Ning Jiang's affairs with all the people, and was worried that there would be changes, so he hurried over to the town, but he didn't expect the situation to have reversed to such a point. Seeing so many people helping Ning Jiang speak, his face changed slightly, "unfilial piety" is indeed a major matter that violates the etiquette law, but in the final analysis, this crime, the people do not raise it, the officials do not prosecute, the father and the old squire jointly wrote to ask the government to take care of it, and the government can naturally manage it, but now that the evidence has been broken, everyone has begun to believe that Ning Jiang is really innocent, and it is impossible for him to plant this crime on Ning Jiang casually.
Relying on the prestige of the official, he shouted: "You are gossiping, how can the official hear what you are talking about?" A few of you, go with your official to the yamen to discuss. "I want to take Ning Ji, Ning Jiang and several other parties away.
"My lord, the right and wrong of this matter are clear, the evidence is conclusive, how can it not be clear? Ning Ji slandered the main family and wanted to take the position of the patriarch, this is my Ning clan's internal dispute, I have my own clan rules and family rules to deal with, if the clan rules and family rules can't be broken, then please ask the adults to make a clear decision! Where did Ning Jiang stand, looking at Cao Qiding proudly.
Cao Qiding sneered: "What if this official has to take care of it? ”
Ning Jiang stood with his hands in his hands: "The son is silent, the strange force is confused, and the small people dare not say to the adults that there are gods who raise their heads three feet, but the saints have clouds: the gentleman is frank, and the villain is a relative!" May adults walk in the way of gentlemen, don't be villains! ”
"What did you say?" Cao Qiding shouted, and the cultural atmosphere of the Ancestral Ancestor Wenqu Yinfu turned into official authority, gushing out like a wave, and the surrounding people all bowed down in panic.
The young master of the Ning Mansion actually said such a thing to the county master? For a time, everyone's face was bloodless. They looked at Ning Jiang in shock, only to see that Ning Jiang was like a mainstay in that turbulent momentum, and he was unwilling to back down at all. Even Cao Qiding was secretly frightened, just such a white-clothed man who had just finished the crown ceremony forcibly resisted his official authority?
Ning Jiang didn't seem to feel anything about the official authority that was rushing in his face, he stared at Cao Qiding with his hands on his shoulders, and said word by word: "Please ...... Mo, do, small, people! ”
didn't expect Ning Jiang to dare to confront the county lord in public, and everyone was panicked.
However, Ning Jiang knew that this time, he had to be tough, no matter what.
He wanted everyone to know that he had offended Lord Cao Cao, and only in this way did Cao Dingding dare not touch him or his family.
Yesterday, he was just a young man who had just reached the crown, and Cao Qiding helped Ning Ji take him down, but after today's battle, his charge of "unfilial piety" has been completely removed, and he has firmly sat in the position of the patriarch of the Ning clan.
After all, the Ning family is a big family in Gaosuo County, and the nature of taking down a young man whose parents are dead and who has no power is completely different from the patriarch of a big family.
What's more, he is now confronting Cao Qiding in public, and next, if something happens to him, everyone will wonder if it was the county lord's doing, considering his official reputation, Cao Qiding has more scruples.
After taking off the charge of "unfilial piety", this time, he is a typical "barefoot person who is not afraid to wear shoes"!
At this moment, there are more and more people around, not only the people of the Ning family, but also a few talents in the county, and the heads of the Duan family, the Hua family, and the Lu family.
If Ning Jiang behaved weakly, he would take it away, but now that this guy is openly contradicting him, he can only scold Ning Ji for being incompetent in his heart, and the good situation is like this, and there is nothing he can do about Ning Jiang at this moment.
At this time, the heads of the Duan family, the Hua family, and the Lu family, were also looking at Cao Qiding in surprise.
The Ning family and several of them are big families in Gaosuo County, and the internal disputes of the Ning family have nothing to do with them, whether Ning Jiang really did that kind of unfilial thing, they don't know at all, besides, who becomes the head of the Ning family's family, that's the Ning family's business, and the most they can do is just to see the excitement.
But now, Ning Jiang's grievances have been cleared in front of so many people, and there is no doubt that Ning Ji framed the young family owner and sought to seize the property.
If Cao Qiding really disregarded legal justice and forcibly interfered in the internal affairs of the Ning family, and used his authority to deal with the de jure heir of the Ning family without violating any laws, then everyone in these big families would be in danger. If this really happens, then I am afraid that they will only have to jointly write a letter to stand up for Ningjiang, and no matter what, they will bomb away the magistrate of Cao Qiding.
After all, Cao Qi can definitely deal with the head of the Ning family like this today, and he will be able to deal with them tomorrow, and no one wants to be like Ning Jiang in the future.
How could Cao Qiding not see the doubts of these family heads? The crime of unfilial piety, the people do not raise it, the officials do not investigate, Ningjiang is not filial, the fathers and elders within the Ning family and the neighbors jointly wrote to him to deal with it, he is to maintain etiquette and religion, and eliminate harm for the people. Now that Ning Jiang is innocent, he continues to be embarrassed, that is, he has forced Ning, Duan, Hua, and Lu into the opposite side of the big families with high locks.
His face moved forcefully, and he squeezed out a smile: "Nephew Jiang misunderstood, this official heard at first glance that Ning Ji had slandered the patriarch and blinded the public, and the official did not investigate yesterday, but he was deceived by him, and he was angry for a while, and he wanted to bring him back to the yamen to ask for the crime." However, what the virtuous nephew said is also reasonable, Ning Ji plotted to seize the clan property, this is the internal affairs of the Ning clan, so it will be handled by your Ning clan rules first, if there is something that the clan rules cannot be clearly determined, just send it to the yamen, and the official will uphold justice. ”
Ning Jiang just wanted him to say in person that he was "deceived by Ning Ji", this time, his grievances can be said to be completely cleared, and no one can talk about this anymore. At that moment, he snapped, and bent down with his hands folded into fists: "Thank you, sir!" It was the small people who misunderstood the adults, the adults were breezy and fair, fair and selfless, and the small people admired! ”
