Chapter Sixty-Seven: Calling the Shots
Talking about the tragic past, even after so many years, Hu Jia has become an adult, but he still can't help crying like the helpless child when he was a teenager.
He wept bitterly, thinking of his grandfather and uncle, and his whole heart was like a knife.
Zhou Shilang has been in the Criminal Department for so many years, and he has long been accustomed to seeing tragic cases, but I don't know why, this case can still tug at his heartstrings, and he can't help but ask: "What happened later?" ”
Hu Jia cried and wiped his tears, and said with red eyes: "We have no evidence, and the master can't help us anything, and he was quickly transferred to a remote place to be a pusher, and I heard that he also died in office." Although my father still refused to admit his guilt, but there was no evidence to prove his innocence, the case dragged on, and before we could recollect the evidence, we received a notice that my father had committed suicide and died in prison......
These circumstances are recorded in the file, of course, it will not be recorded as Hu Jia said, and the file says that Hu Yi committed suicide in fear of crime.
Ying Changshi pinched the stack of files, and the whole person trembled slightly.
This is the life of the Hu family, the lives of a total of thirty-two people, or the lives of Hu Jia's grandfather's family, even including the master book.
Lives here...... This one by one, but it's all human life!
Hu Jia was already a little devastated when he said this: "I hadn't accepted my fate at that time, and an elder from my grandfather's family who accompanied me took me to prepare to return to my hometown, thinking that I would go home to find evidence, but we met the so-called robbers on the boat again, and were almost killed......
Everyone couldn't help but look at him, and even Chu Tingchuan was a little moved.
"I ...... When I got home, I learned that when the people in the village saw that the man in charge of my grandfather's family was far away, they always said something very ugly, my grandmother was not in good health, and then I received the news of my grandfather's death and my uncle's disappearance, so I couldn't support it and went. My aunt and uncle took the child to mourn my grandmother, but she was beaten by a ruffian on the way...... My aunt and uncle died in front of my grandmother's grave, and when I got home, there was no one left in the house...... It's gone......"
He finally couldn't take it anymore and slipped from his chair to the ground, a man in his twenties, crying loudly.
Zhou Shilang felt a little itchy in his throat.
I'm used to seeing tragedies in the world, but it's really rare to do things to this extent.
He asked in a hoarse voice, "Are these all done by Wang Shun?" ”
Where is there such a coincidence, Hu Jia's grandfather's family is also a local rich gentry, if it weren't for being instructed, how dare those ruffians and hooligans be so bold and bully others?
The Wang family actually acted like this!
Chu Tingchuan turned the wrench of his thumb, gently asked Hu Jia to get up, and asked him again: "Do you still have an impression of those ruffians and hooligans back then?" ”
After so many years, in fact, Hu Jia has long been dead to this matter, and since a few years ago, he has been disheartened, because no matter which yamen he goes to deliver the paper, in the end, he will be driven out of the yamen with a killing stick.
Over time, he just ran his luck every year.
If Hu Jia doesn't remember those people anymore, there's no way to do it.
But Hu Jia nodded categorically, he gritted his teeth and said, "I remember!" Those ruffians were all well-known second-rate people in the local area, and they didn't do their jobs all day, and later they opened a big restaurant in the local area, and they lived a good life......"
Chu Tingchuan glanced at Ying Changshi, who had already recorded his name and age one by one, and nodded at Chu Tingchuan.
Chu Tingchuan was afraid of the board: "Then ask here first, send someone to escort these people to the capital, Wang Shun, Shunzi, and the county order of the year, none of them can be missing, take them all back!" ”
Then he stood up, glanced at Hu Jia, and said in a deep tone: "Don't worry, the justice you deserve, this palace will definitely return it to you!" ”
With just this sentence, Hu Jia cried like a child.
He carried these grievances, carried the lives of his two families and walked so far, walked for more than ten years, walked almost 10,000 miles, he thought that he would carry these until he died and couldn't close his eyes, but God has eyes after all, and it turns out that God can also see their insignificance and grievances.
He knelt heavily on the ground and kowtowed three times towards Chu Tingchuan.
Chu Tingchuan had already gone out and instructed Cheng Lan: "Follow Hu Jia, from now on, you are his personal guard, if something happens to him, I will ask you!" ”
Cheng Lan rarely heard Chu Tingchuan so solemn, and subconsciously responded yes.
Chu Tingchuan had already strode out of the door, and when he came out of the door of the Punishment Department, he saw a red tasseled sedan chair parked on the side of the road, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
At this moment, Wang Taifu had already opened the curtain and nodded at him, and said politely: "Your Highness, it's time to go to class." ”
Chu Tingchuan's schoolwork has always been in charge of Wang Taifu, and there are a few Hanlin attendants to speak, he nodded, and didn't say anything, until he returned to the East Palace and entered the study, Wang Taifu pondered for a moment and asked Chu Tingchuan: "Your Highness, forgive the old minister for being rude, this case, even if there are grievances, do you have to make such a big fuss?" ”
Chu Tingchuan was silent for a moment, seeing that Wang Taifu's face was old, and his spirit seemed to be depressed a lot overnight, and after a while, he said softly: "Taifu knows, how many people have died in the Hu family in this case?" ”
Wang Taifu was silent.
"More than thirty people." Chu Tingchuan stretched out three fingers, his face was cold and sneering: "Does the Taifu know that the in-laws of the Hu family have implicated the deceased in this matter?" ”
Wang Taifu shook his color, and for a moment he couldn't help but feel a little chill in his back. 、
This matter turned out to be more complicated and serious than he imagined.
"More than twenty people." Chu Tingchuan's voice was extremely cold, as if it was ice water in winter: "There is a two-year-old child among them, does Taifu know how the child died?" It was his mother who was thrown to the ground by the ruffian when she was insulted by the ruffian, and fell to death! ”
Chu Tingchuan finally became angry: "So many people have died, but the grievances have been sealed in the dust for so many years!" If it doesn't make such a big fuss, how can you comfort those dead souls?! Who will soothe the souls of those children who cry in the middle of the night?! The offender deserves to be punished, no matter who he is! ”
Mrs. Wang was calm, but this time she was a little untenable.
He didn't know that the people in his family had reached this point of lawlessness, and he didn't know that this matter would be so serious, so many people's lives, including children..... If it is really confirmed that it was done by his own juniors.....
The Wang family is finished!
