Chapter 409: Self-inflicted
Gu Jinli glanced at her, a sneer rose at the corner of his mouth, and he turned his head to look at Village Chief He and said, "Village Chief, you can see clearly, this family is not repentant, and they want to slander the cousin of the Qi family to the end." With such a family, do you dare to keep them in the village? ”
Gu Jinli was troubled by He Cui'er's family, just under the pretense of driving their family out of the village.
This family is so disgusting, if they are let go this time, they will make trouble again next time. In that case, let's just make a fuss.
Village Chief He sighed in his heart, the fish girl was really ruthless, and she had such an idea.
Gu Jinli saw that Village Chief He and several clan elders of the He family showed a shocked look, and knew that they still couldn't bear to drive He Cui'er's family out of the village.
Gu Jinli looked at Gu Jin'an.
Gu Jinan stood up and said: "Village chief, there is a clause in the Dachu criminal law, once it is verified, those who deliberately wronged others will be punished by cutting off their tongues. ”
Gu Jinan smiled kindly: "The matter of reporting to the official, my family is familiar with the conversation, and it doesn't hurt to report it again, but I want to implicate the village chief and the uncles, and Brother An will compensate you first." ”
The ancient clan affection was so important, it was not easy for the He family to drive He Cui'er's family out of the village for the sake of justice for their surname. Only by using criminal law to suppress them will the He family agree.
Sure enough, the He family members present heard it and exclaimed: "Punishment, there is such an article in the criminal law?" Eh, you can't report it to the official. Brother An, this is all the sin created by He Dashu's family, and it has nothing to do with us. ”
Although 500 yuan is not much, it can make trouble to the point that the whole clan is fined by the yamen, which is not a good reputation.
Village Chief He has been a village chief for decades, and he knows some of Da Chu's criminal laws, and he seems to have heard of this one, but no one in Qingfu Town has ever committed it, and he is about to forget this criminal law.
When He Cui'er's family heard this, they were so frightened that they hurriedly shouted: "Brother Gu Jia'er, don't rely on reading a few books to deceive us, what kind of punishment is this, why haven't we heard of it." ”
Gu Jinan replied with a smile: "It doesn't matter if you haven't heard of it, this is not important, as long as the adults in the county know that there is this criminal law." ”
You know?
I want you to be tortured!
He Cui'er's family was choked a lot, but they were all illiterate, and they couldn't read a single big word, let alone any criminal law.
Village Chief He always remembered the affection of the same clan and clan, and gave He Dashu a chance: "Dashu, this matter is not right with your family, hurry up and compensate the Qi family and the Mo family, and then compensate the two families for a few taels of silver, write a guarantee, even if this matter is over, otherwise, I can't help you!" ”
He Cui'er immediately shouted: "What? Not only do you have to apologize, but you also have to compensate for the silver, or how many taels? How poor our family has become? Village chief, you want our family's life. Don't pay, our family is right, and we won't give a penny! ”
She pointed at Mo Qinzi and said, "The girl of the Mo family is thinking of Qi Kangping in her heart, and her words can't be counted." Brother Qi Jiaping just hugged my family Cui'er, ruined my family's Cui'er's innocence, and the Qi family must give a generous dowry and marry my family's Cui'er into the door! ”
Seeing that He Cui'er Niang was unrepentant, Village Chief He was so angry that he was disheartened...... Such a clansman will only bring trouble to the clan, so it is better to expel it cleanly.
Gu Jinli saw that Village Chief He was tired, and thought that he no longer had hope for He Cui'er's family, so he said, "Mo Qinzi's words can't be counted?" Cheng, it doesn't matter, anyway, Mo Qinzi is not the only one who sees your He Cui'er calculating the cousin of the Qi family, I'll call a few more people for you, let's confront each other. ”
As soon as the words fell, Lu Gensheng and Lu Hefu walked in with a few Lu family members.
Lu Gensheng said: "At noon today, my family and the He Fu family pulled wheat to sell, and when I returned to the village at noon, I happened to see He Cuier jumping into the pond and shouting for help. ”
"However, everyone knows that the pond in the village is not deep, and the place near the shore is even more shallow, and she can't drown at all, we are surprised why she shouted for help, and after listening to it for a while, she finally came back to her senses, He Cuier is trying to calculate Brother Qi Jiaping."
"We originally wanted to come out to help, but before we passed, the girl from the Mo family came and taught He Cuier a lesson." Lu Gensheng pointed to Lu Hefu and said: "He Fu's eyes are good, he can see it really, Brother Qi Jiaping glanced at the pond, and he didn't go to the pond, how could he be rescued by holding He Cui'er?" It's just. ”
Lu Hefu nodded and said, "Brother Qi Jiaping has always been far away, not close to the pond, and left soon." Seeing that the calculation could not be made, He Cuier climbed out of the pond and returned home. We thought that this matter was over, but where did we think that He Cuier's family was so shameless, and that there was nothing at all that could be nonsense and wronged people, this thing was done, it was really eye-opening. ”
And they will come to testify, it was in the afternoon that Wang Yongfu went to the village to find someone to inquire about the noon, and happened to ask about the two of them. With the intention of making friends with the Gu family, they did not hide it, and told what they saw.
However, at that time, He Cuier's family had not yet come to make trouble, and Wang Yongfu did not let them testify.
But just before the tea, Wang Yongfu ran to them again and asked them to testify, and they hurried over.
After hearing this, He Cui'er said angrily: "You lie, my family Cui'er didn't calculate Brother Qi Jiaping, she was saved by Brother Qi Jiaping because she didn't want to fall into the water!" ”
Lu Hefu said: "Ours is the truth, not a word is false, if you think we have wronged your family, we can report to the official and go to the yamen to confront us." ”
Lu Hefu's words were sonorous and powerful, without the slightest weakness. It was He Cui'er's mother who was a little cowardly.
Several elders of the He family, who still had hope for He Cuier's family, shook their heads one after another, such a family really can't stay.
Village Chief He is also tired, and now that the Gu family has a witness, how He Cui'er's family wants to quibble is not successful.
He asked Gu Jinli: "Fish girl, what are you going to do?" ”
Gu Jinli grinned: "You better ask the third grandfather." ”
The third grandfather said: "Village chief, it's not that we want to embarrass your He family, it's really that the He family has rat feces, if this is not clear, it will be bad for your He family's reputation in the future...... However, it is not clear that it is the business of the He family, if the He family does not deal with it, we will report to the official. ”
Village Chief He already understood what the third grandfather meant, and either reported to the official to deal with it, or drove He Cuier's family out of the village.
Village Chief He pondered for a moment and said to the third grandfather: "Brother Gu, you don't need to report this matter to the official, you give the elder brother a night, and let the elder brother take this matter to the clansmen...... You've got to be right, you can't let a rat poop spoil a pot of porridge. ”
