Zhang Bantou said: "I have been brought into the public court and knelt, there are brothers watching, adults and rest assured, nothing will happen." ”

Hearing this, the ancient prefect nodded, and while letting his subordinates dress the official mansion, a spirit was excited, and asked, "Mrs. Gu is still alive, right?" But don't die? ”

Mrs. Gu is old and paralyzed by a stroke, and the ancient prefect has always felt that she will not be able to survive the execution.

Zhang Bantou smiled and said: "Don't worry, my lord, the old woman is in good spirits, and she won't be able to die in a few days." ”

Originally, she thought that Mrs. Gu's body had suffered such a big blow, and she should have gone to see King Yama at any time, but she was so amazing, she was stunned that she could eat, drink and sleep, and raised her body.

"She is reluctant to die, she has to eat and drink all the time, and she will make a fuss a little later." The officials in the yamen were tossed by her a lot, and they couldn't wait to wake up and she was already hanging.

The ancient prefect was relieved when he heard this, and said: "The wicked have a long life." ”

After a short time, the ancient prefect dressed up, and after a full meal, he followed Zhang Bantou to the court, but he was really hungry and scared last time, and almost didn't starve to death in the court, this time he had to eat first and then go to the court.

When the ancient prefect arrived, the people on the third floor and the outer three floors were already surrounded at the entrance of the yamen, and they asked one by one towards the public court: "Poor master, when will you ascend to the court?" Hurry up, we're going to work after that! ”

The ancient prefect's face was dark, mother, if you have a job to do, just do it, come and see what is the excitement? This is a public court, and it's not a bookstore, so you can't be afraid? Is the government so not terrible in the eyes of the people of He'an Mansion?!

"My lord, let's go to the church." Tang Tongju saluted the ancient prefect and reminded him.

Originally, it should have been his business to ascend to the court, but since the ancient prefect personally tried Mrs. Gu's case, the past two days have been very good to him, and he will say from time to time, Lord Tang has worked hard, and the family in this mansion has a new old ginseng, and he will use it to make up for your body another day, and you will honestly ascend to the court to try the case, it is too hard.

Tang Tong's judgment was therefore unbelievable, and he wanted the ancient prefect to try the case instead of himself.

The ancient prefect also wants credit, after all, only with merit can he go to Jiangnan to serve...... That place in the south of the Yangtze River is a place that an official wants to go, after all, it is rich. And Da Chu has not been very good in recent years, the place north of Zhongzhou, from time to time there is a trouble, there is a shortage of food, he doesn't want to be transferred to the north next year, it is best to accumulate more credit and level the south of the Yangtze River.

With a snap, the ancient prefect slapped the hall in shock, shouted and ascended to the hall, and asked the people under the hall: "Who is coming?" What is being told? Hurry up. ”

sighed in my heart, how can the words of this ascension be similar to the opening words of Mr. Storyteller?

Yuan Jiagui said: "Lord Qiyu, the grass people are villagers who fled from Yuanjia Village, Gaoshui County, Long'an Prefecture in the northwest, and came to sue Gu Pan for murdering my cousin Yuan Jiaman on behalf of the entire Yuan family, please make the decision for my cousin, he was killed by Gu Pan's and the adulterer!" ”

As he spoke, he handed over a piece of paper.

The official immediately came over and took the paper to the ancient prefect to see.

After reading it, the ancient prefect was shocked, and pointed to a passage written on the paper: "You said that the adulterer who killed Yuan Jiaman back then was surnamed Li, and he was the young master of the Li family in the capital of Long'an Mansion?!" ”

The Li family in the capital of Long'an Mansion is not the family of Lord Li, the adulterer mentioned on this paper will not be Lord Li, right?

Are the rumors true?

Gu Youwen: Are they really Lord Li's species?

The ancient prefect was stunned, Mrs. Gu, you can do it, with a pair of hanging eyes, you can still fascinate Master Li and have so many children with you.

The ancient prefect almost suspected that Mrs. Gu was a great beauty who captivated the country and the city when she was young.

Yuan Jiagui said: "Exactly." This young master of the Li family has come to the Pan family many times, and some people from Yuanjia Village have met him. My family lives close to my cousin's house, and I've bumped into him a few times. But the Li family is powerful, and the people in the village dare not say anything...... It wasn't until later that Cousin Man's accident happened that there was a commotion in the village, and Gu Pan's was going to be immersed in the pig cage. ”

At that time, he also said that he would soak Mrs. Gu in the pig cage, but he didn't say that he wanted to trouble the Li family. At that time, the Li family was not only wealthy, but the young master of the Li family also married a daughter from an official family, but he couldn't afford to offend.

"Then why didn't Gu Pan die? Dare to find a man to marry a second time? The ancient prefect asked, he had tried the case of Mrs. Gu poisoning Fei's family, and knew that although Mrs. Gu was in Yuanjia Village, although everyone shouted and beat her, she continued to look for a man very arrogantly, and finally successfully married for the second time and left Yuanjia Village.

Yuan Jiagui said: "It was the help of the Li family, at that time, the son of the village chief was working as a shopkeeper in the restaurant in Fucheng, and the Li family set up a set and framed the cousin Wen of the village chief's uncle's family. If the Yuan family dips the Gu Pan family in the pig cage, Cousin Wen will be sentenced, and the entire Yuan family will be implicated. ”

Da Chu is a continuous sitting system, one person in a clan breaks the law, the whole clan sits together, the big guys are afraid, for the sake of the whole clan, they can only let the Yuan family die unjustly.

The ancient prefect knew the disadvantages of the joint sitting system, and when he heard this, he did not question it, and asked Yuan Jiagui: "Then why are you coming to sue again, but who is instigating?" ”

Otherwise, how could he run from Linhe Mansion?

Yuan Jiagui shook his head and didn't admit it, but said with red eyes: "It's because I'm old, I'm afraid that I will be scolded by my cousin when I go underground that day, so I came to sue the official......"

Then, Yuan Jiagui talked about the events of the year.

"Back then, everyone thought that Cousin Man was drunk and fell into the Gaoshui River outside the county and drowned, but they didn't know that Cousin Man was drowned in the pond behind the house pushed by the young master of the Li family when he was fighting with the young master of the Li family......"

When Yuan Jiagui said this, he recalled the events of the year, and couldn't help crying bitterly: "I saw it, I really saw it...... Cousin Man wanted to climb to the shore, but Gu Panshi hit the water with a bamboo pole, and after a few times, Cousin Man sank into the pond, and the two of them were villains who collaborated to kill Cousin Man! ”

"I was very scared, I didn't know what to do, I saw this and stumbled back to the house, and then I had an illness, I was in a coma with a high fever for a day and a night, and when I woke up, I heard that my cousin was drunk and fell into the high water river and drowned."

"But isn't it, Cousin Man died in the pond behind the house, and was killed by Gu Pan and the young master of the Li family!"

"I'm sorry for Cousin Man, but I was afraid of things, so I didn't dare to go to the yamen to testify...... I'm sorry full cousin! ”

The Yuan family was full of tears, and talked incoherently about the events of the year...... For so many years, he thought that he had forgotten, as long as he didn't think about it, he would be able to live without burden, and when the Qin family kid came to beg him, he was not willing to sue Mrs. Gu.

However, he is the brother of his cousin, and he knows that he died tragically, how can he not avenge him?!

Seeing that Yuan Jiagui was crying quite miserably, the ancient prefect was also a little unbearable, and after he cried for a while, after crying the guilt in his heart, he asked, "The young master of the Li family you said is called Li Zhi?" ”

Yuan Jiagui nodded: "Well, it's Li Zhi, not many people shout his name, and the big guys call him Young Master Li, or Li Prodigy." ”
