Chapter 32: Imprisonment
It turned out that among the men in black, there was one of them who was Shang Jinquan's son who was raised outside the Shang Mansion. This person is not a son-in-law, but he has learned the bad habits of a son-in-law. Previously, Shang Jinquan had heard him accidentally say that he had joined a bullshit gang, interesting, rich, and bragging rights.
He originally thought it was his son's nonsense, but who knew that tonight, his rabbit cub actually followed to stab Wen Zhesang, and he happened to be caught, and he was shaken out as a father. That's why he was found by the people of the Yamen. On one side is the master, on the other side is the son, which one he chooses is destined to be unsafe for the rest of his life.
But if the master is gone, he will be gone, and if his son is gone, the incense in the family will be broken! In the future, Huangquan is afraid that he will not have the face to see his ancestors.
Shang Jinquan's son was gagged at this moment, whining and choking. Shang Jinquan looked annoyed, raised his hand and gave him another slap, and scolded angrily.
Wen Zhesang patted the shocked wood and signaled quiet, "Shang Rong, your servant has become a witness, what else do you have to say?" ”
"My lord Mingjian," Master Shang forced himself to calm down, "Shang Jinquan has been in my Shang family for decades, only two or three concubines, and no children or daughters under his knees, everyone knows it." An adult calls an inexplicable boy to act as his son at this time, can the evidence of fraud also be called evidence? ”
Shang Nancheng also shouted: "That's it! This old immortal has no son at all! Are you all fools when we are! ”
Wen Zhesang didn't frown when he heard this, and said to Shang Jinquan: "What do you know, tell me everything." ”
Master Shang concealed his nervousness with cynicism: "He is just a subordinate, what can he know?" I think the adults are just talking to him about the sins of the grass people! Even so, there is nothing to try, and it is better to put the grass people in prison, so that people can see how the adults make unjust, false and wrongful cases. ”
Wen Zhesang had a cold face, "How can you make a lot of nonsense and slander the officials of the court above the court?" ”
Master Shang said: "Justice is at ease in the hearts of the people, adults directed and acted in a play today, and someone is ashamed." ”
Master Shang is worthy of being an old fox, and his ability to reverse black and white is perfect. However, most of the people present were oppressed by the wealthy families headed by the Shang family, and at this time I heard him say that he was put on a table by Wen Zhesang, although his words were reasonable and well-founded, but no one believed it.
Wen Zhesang glanced at him, turned his head to look at Shang Jinquan, who was hesitant, "With this official here, what are you afraid of?" ”
Shang Jinquan suddenly came back to his senses, remembering that he had now defected, and his future net worth and life were all in the thought of Wen Zhisang. He was sober-minded, and quickly knelt down and said, "My lord...... If the grass people tell the truth, the adults may save my family's life? ”
Wen Zhisang nodded, "As long as you know everything." ”
"Yes, yes, thank you, sir!" Shang Jinquan breathed a sigh of relief. "Since the adults have arrested the Shang family, the grass people will ask the adults to eliminate the harm for the people."
Not only Wen Zhesang, but the onlookers all sniffed out that something was wrong. At this time, it was the time when the sky was about to break, and the yamen was brightly lit, and the sky was gray and far away.
Master Shang coldly reminded him: "Shang Jinquan, don't forget who made you sit in your current position." ”
But Shang Jinquan didn't look at him, as early as when the yamen was about to find him, he knew that he couldn't hide from this encounter. And what did the man tell him? The man said that Master Wen had already grasped the evidence of the Shang family's evil deeds, and the reason why he did not move was to find someone to testify. And now, the human certificate is also coming.
He trembled and took a deep breath, his always straight waist slumped down, and he looked a little older than Master Shang.
He said: "Shang Rong is rich and unkind, and the people have long been annoyed by the fish and meat township. As soon as the adults came, they made drastic changes to Qingfeng County, shaking the status of Shang Rong and the wealthy households in the county. So they were embarrassed by adults everywhere, and later the account book of Shang Rong's cooperation with Wang De and Eagle Village somehow fell into the hands of Lord Wen. Shang Rong had the idea of getting rid of Lord Wen, but the form was unknown at that time, and Lord Wen was being loved by the people, so Shang Rong was cautious and did not do anything. But there were many things after that, a few days ago, Shang Rong heard that Lord Wen had human and physical evidence, and he was afraid that the incident would happen in the east window, so he bought murder. ”
"You're spewing blood!" Master Shang said angrily, "You say that I bought murder, what evidence do you have?" I'm going to say that you framed me! ”
This dog-eat-dog scene is very exciting, and the crowd of onlookers is very happy to watch.
"There is proof! Of course there is evidence! Shang Jinquan also broke the jar and said, "I asked Cui Lao Liu to let these people, he is a long-term worker in the house, you will know as soon as you ask!" ”
Wen Zhesang asked the catcher to summon Cui Lao Liu. It just so happened that this person also came to join in the fun, and was pointed out by a few acquaintances. The cowering man walked up to the lobby three times in one step, and as soon as he knelt down, he trembled and made all the moves.
"Great, my lord, the steward only gave me money, let me find a man, and then give him the money. My lord, the grass people and the grass people really don't know anything! ”
When he said this, Wen Zhesang continued to interrogate the group of people in black, and really found out the person who connected with Cui Lao Liu.
Under Shang Jinquan's involvement, the truth of this matter was finally revealed.
But Master Shang is still struggling, "My lord, this play is so good, the grass people have nothing to say." ”
Wen Zhesang: "There are all the human and material evidence, of course you have nothing to say." She raised her eyes and saw Xie Yikou giving herself a look, and then said, "Assassinating an official of the imperial court is a capital crime." ”
"This matter was done by the grass people alone, but I beg the lord to let go of my two unfortunate sons."
"Shang Rong, the official hasn't said that the case is closed."
As if to prove this sentence, the crowd suddenly stirred, and it turned out that several people were crowded in from outside, and as soon as they went to the court, they knelt down first, saying that they wanted to redress their grievances.
These people are not from Qingfeng County, but the Shang family father and son still saw some clues from their faces.
"Daddy...... Dad, how did she get these people? She wants us to die! Shang Nancheng was so frightened that he almost cried.
Shang Nanjue's reaction was no calmer than his, just now he was still thinking about how to excuse his father, but at this time, his mind was blank. In a daze, he thought, it's over...... It's all over. It turned out that the county order's delay was not because he was afraid of the Shang family, but because he just wanted to wipe them all out and never suffer in the future!
The onlookers only felt that these people were familiar, and few recognized them.
Just when everyone was speculating, the court reported their homes one after another.
"Zou Shu, a grass citizen, was originally the Shang family's account office, but because he offended the eldest young master, he ordered someone to break his legs and expel him from Qingfeng County. The grass people want to sue Shang Nanjue and ask the adults to make decisions for the grass people. ”
"The old Cheng Lin family, a few years ago, the old granddaughter was a maid in the Shang family, and one day the Shang family children ate wine and humiliated the old granddaughter. The old granddaughter was in a strong mood and wanted to report to the official, but was killed by that child. The old body wants to sue Shang Nancheng and implore the adults to make decisions for the old body. ”
"People's daughter Liu Huihui, please be the master of the deceased sister!"
"Grass Folk ......"
"Ask the adults to call the ......"
These twenty or so people originally had to arrive in a day or two, but it happened that Master Shang sent someone to assassinate him at night, and Wen Zhesang saw that the time was ripe, so he asked Wen Shi, Wen Zhi and Xie Yikou to bring these people in advance. Fortunately, it came at a timely time.
Every time someone spoke and asked for sin, the faces of the Shang family's father and son became gloomy. Those who were watching, and who were still thinking about muttering, gradually withdrew their voices in the weeping accusations.
The Shang family's father and son did evil and disregarded people's lives, which really deserved to die.
Some of these people were persecuted themselves, and some of their relatives entered Shang's house alive, but when they came out, they only had a cold corpse and a broken straw mat.
Wen Zhesang was shocked and photographed, and his voice was like thunder, "Shang Rong, you keep slandering your own officials for acting, look at these people, do you still remember the sins you did?" ”
Master Shang's lips snorted, and he finally stopped resisting.
"No, no, it shouldn't be like this!" Shang Nancheng suddenly went crazy, and rushed to Cheng Lin's and said, "It was that dead girl who took advantage of me to get drunk and climbed into bed, I fulfilled her wish, but she pretended to be a chaste martyr, she died, what does it have to do with me!" ”
"And you!" He pointed at Liu Huihui, "Your sister is not a good thing, you are all the same raccoon dog!" got the benefits of my family, and shamelessly asked the master to take them into the room, I'm bah! Nor do you look at your own virtues! ”
He also made insulting remarks about killing people and slandered the deceased. Shang Nancheng's move provoked public outrage.
Cheng Lin and Liu Huihui were so angry that Liu Huihui was young, and she was scolded by him to tears. "My sister is not what you say! You will be punished, you will be punished! ”
Shang Nancheng didn't care how she cursed, and laughed insolently, "Hahaha! A group of white-eyed wolves, without our Shang family, you can't even eat, and you ......"
Xie Yikou finally couldn't hold back, and stepped forward to block Shang Nancheng's mouth - using the rag that Jiang Weixi was holding in the back kitchen.
Wen Zhesang frowned, and ordered: "This person has no king's law and disturbs the court. Grass Kan human life, do not respect the dead, temporarily put down, to be sent to Beijing, after the autumn beheaded. ”
"Hmm...... Hmmmm...... Shang Nancheng heard it as if he had been poured cold water on his head, and shook his head with wide eyes. His eyes were bloodshot and tears flowed down his eyes, but no matter how pitiful he was, he really had a few lives on his hands.
Master Shang's assassination of the imperial court official was a certainty, and he was not entangled too much, and he was also convicted of death.
As for Shang Nanjue, just as he was glad that he could get a light hair, the man who was abandoned by him and finally died tragically in the river stood up.
In the court, the black-clothed man Shang Nancheng and Master Shang were all escorted down. The more than 20 witnesses, except for those who sued Shang Nanjue, also went down to rest. As soon as Qiu He stood in the empty public hall, she noticed Shang Nanjue's gaze.
"Young Master, don't come unharmed."
Qiu He knelt down in a proper manner, then turned her head slightly, and showed a gentle smile at Shang Nanjue, as docile and lovely as she used to be. However, she now has a hideous scar on her face, which is different from before after all.
