Chapter 401: The whole family becomes a slave
But Zheng Lin of the Zheng family kept saying that he was wronged, and he didn't deliberately go to the young master of the Shangguan family to rob people, someone came to follow her, Xiaolian Xian agreed to see him first, and finally didn't dare to offend the young master Shangguan, so he sent someone to refuse him.
Zheng Lin was not very old at the time, but he was an eighteen-year-old stunned young man, and he was spoiled by his family, and his sister in the family was still a concubine, pregnant with a dragon seed, where could he stand such anger, and immediately took someone to save Xiaolian Xian, but what happened later.
However, the young master of the Shangguan family died, how could the people of the Shangguan family believe his words?
Because of this incident, Zheng Lin was almost beaten to death by his father, and he, who had originally set up a family affair and was already planning to get married, also postponed the marriage for three years because of the death of the young master of the Shangguan family, which can be regarded as keeping filial piety for the young master of the Shangguan family.
It's a pity that the Shangguan family didn't buy it at all, they hated the Zheng family to death.
Over the years, the two families have been in Jinling Mansion together, but because of this incident, they have been facing each other like enemies.
Zheng Lin is now a grandfather, but he has been wronged for most of his life, he has always remembered this incident, and he wants to find out the truth of the year before he dies, so that the Shangguan family can believe him, he really didn't mean to kill Shangguan Hua, he was deliberately teased.
If this misunderstanding is not solved, Zheng Lin will not be able to turn a blind eye.
Only then did the little lotus leaf survive, and after the Zheng family learned the news, they sent two subordinates and Zheng Ying to Tianfu County.
The Shangguan family will come, in fact, they also want to solve the grudge between the two families, after all, the power of the two families is not weak, after fighting for so many years, they are really tired, they don't want to fight anymore, and they also want to know the truth of the year, so they sent their own grandchildren.
"This old woman is Shui Banniang back then?" Zheng Ying stood up excitedly, and immediately said to Cheng Bantou: "Cheng Bantou, quickly bring the slave booklet, and pair this old woman's handprint thread with Shui Banniang's handprint thread." ”
"Yes." Cheng Bantou knew that the Zheng family was not small and it was not easy to offend, so he immediately asked the official who brought it to take out the ink and white paper, grabbed Han Mama's hand, printed the handprints of her two thumbs, and then took out the slave book he brought, turned to the page with the deed of sale of Shui Banniang, and compared the handprint threads on the two sheets of paper.
Mama Han was so frightened that her face turned pale, and she trembled and wanted to deny that she was not Shui Banniang, but now that she had compared her opponent's seal thread, even if she denied it, it would be useless, she could only think of other ways to save herself.
After the tea, the head of the team finished comparing the handprint threads on the two pieces of paper, and said to Zheng Ying and Shangguan Zhuo: "Two young masters, this Han Mama is the water banniang of the Linglong painting boat back then. ”
Zheng Ying exhaled a breath, and his waist straightened up, for so many years, because of the events of the year, their Zheng family always couldn't raise their heads in front of the Shangguan family, but no matter how wronged they were, their grandfather didn't allow them to go against the people of the Shangguan family in person.
Shangguan Zhuo also breathed a sigh of relief, after finding Shui Banniang, the truth of the year was not far away.
But Mama Han is a ruthless person, knowing that she may not survive, but she will never let others have a good time, and immediately pointed at Zheng Ying and said to Shangguan Zhuo: "Young Master Shangguan, it was Zheng Lin of the Zheng family who deliberately put ...... back then."

Luo Wu had already seen the grievances between the Zheng family and the Shangguan family, and with a quick movement of his hands, he rested Mama Han's jawbone, making her jaw dislocated and unable to say slanderous words again.
Zheng Ying was almost scared to death, glanced at Luo Wu gratefully, and said to Shangguan Zhuo: "Brother Shangguan, this old woman is tricky, can you give the Zheng family three days?" Three days later, the Zheng family will definitely ask the truth of the year and give an explanation to the Shangguan family. ”
Shangguan Zhuo pondered for a while, nodded and said, "Naturally, it is possible." However, our Shangguan family has to send a subordinate to follow us, Brother Zheng has no objection, right? ”
Although the Shangguan family also has the meaning of resolving grievances, my grandfather said that what the Shangguan family wants is the real truth, not a fake truth given by the Zheng family in order to clear their suspicions.
Zheng Ying said: "This matter is related to you and me, and the Shangguan family can naturally send someone to follow." ”
Hearing this, Shangguan Zhuo nodded with satisfaction.
Zheng Ying ordered Xu County again: "Lord Xu, the two subordinates of my family have recognized that Old Man Lu is the fugitive slave of Linglong Painting Boat back then, you can go to the court to try the case." ”
Xu Xianling nodded with a smile, straightened his official hat, sat under the plaque hanging high in the mirror, and patted the shocked wood: "Ascend to the court, bring people to commit crimes!" ”
At the sound of an order, the officials immediately escorted everyone of the Lu family to the public court and pressed them to kneel.
It's just that in this group of Lu family, there is one more Aunt Lu.
Xu Xianling frowned, and Master Tian whispered in his ear: "Just now, Zou Xiancheng sent Aunt Lu to prison, saying that she was the daughter of a fugitive slave and should be put in prison. ”
When Xu Xianling heard this, his face was very ugly.
Zou County Cheng Lao Lai, as early as when Mama Han was thrown into prison, he spent a lot of money to help Zou Yuzhen and Zou Yuwan redeem themselves, while Aunt Lu was locked up in the backyard by him.
Now that he knew that the two great families of Jinling Mansion were coming, he hurriedly sent Aunt Lu here.
But if you don't send it sooner or later, but at this time, isn't this a slap in the face of the county order?
Xu Xianling was very unhappy, but because of the presence of the two nobles, it was not good to shout Zou Xiancheng out and scold him, so he could only suppress the anger in his heart and start to ascend to the court.
The promotion was very smooth, because there were two newcomer witnesses identifying Old Man Lu as a fugitive slave from the Linglong Painting Boat, coupled with Xue Lao's confession, even if the handprint thread could not be compared, the case was quickly decided.
Old man Lu's identity as a fugitive slave was confirmed, and he was sentenced to be beheaded and executed three days later; The children and grandchildren born to them are all enslaved according to the criminal law of slaves giving birth to slaves.
As for the daughter-in-law, she can choose to be reconciled, and once she is reconciled, she is no longer a member of the Lu family, and she does not have to be a slave.
The Niu family and the Yao family ransomed their sons a few days ago, but the daughter was not redeemed, and the Niu family was reluctant to pay the money, and they were also washed into slavery.
And the Lu family's wealth, whether it is in the village or the county, is all confiscated.
When the people of the Lu family heard Xu County's words, they cried and shouted injustice: "My lord, my lord, we are wronged, we really don't know that Lu Xiangfu is a fugitive slave!" You just spare us this time, if you want to kill or find Lu Xiangfu, we are innocent. ”
It was Lu Lao Er who said this, he was crying profusely, looking at Old Man Lu's eyes, he couldn't wait to eat Old Man Lu alive.
Xu Xianling sneered: "Wronged? Lu Xiangfu is a fugitive slave, you are the children of slaves, you should be slaves at the moment of birth, you have been a good citizen for decades, and it is time to return it. ”
When Lu Lao Er heard this, he cried even more miserably, how did this day become like this?
Could it really be Gu Jiake's family??
Or is it that the Gu family is blessed, but no one who goes against the Gu family has a good end, so is it too late for him to be good to the Gu family now?
