"Didn't grandma receive one hundred and twenty taels of silver from her uncle? We paid my uncle a hundred and twenty taels of silver. My uncle didn't help me buy a job for free, my father and he had an employment relationship, and now that something has happened, it has nothing to do with us. On the contrary, it is the loss of our grain store, and he must be responsible. ”

"Shen Xiaoxia, you are still not human, the eldest brother and the second brother are brothers, do you need to calculate it so clearly?" Shen Hui couldn't sit still, as long as Shen Xiaoxia opened her mouth, she would be angry, why did she say whatever she said, what she said was reasonable.

"The elders in this family are all here, is there a place for you to speak? You hurry up, it's not your turn to call the shots. ”

"Is my sister-in-law having a bad time in the Zhang family? Why is it so angry? ”

"You ......"

Xiao Xia's words are simply adding fuel to the fire, she is still newly married, the Zhang family has good conditions, and she is living quite well, but her husband is thinking about someone else, and this person is still the person she hates the most. As soon as she thought of this, Shen Hui's heart felt breathless.

"Since I'm not welcome here, grandparents, Dad, then I'll go!"

Xiao Xia got up and left, she wanted to see what good ideas the people in this room could have.

Within two days, the government summoned the Shen family to the yamen for trial.

The Shen family went to everything they could, and Xiao Xia naturally wanted to go to see the lively ones.

The yamen of the backing town is not big, it is square and square, there is the only table standing in front of the hall, a Taishi chair behind the table, and a plaque is hung on the top of the table, which reads the four big characters of justice and strictness. On each side of the hall stood five officials, each expressionless, holding a long stick painted with red paint in their hands, and one end on the ground.

In such a serious place, none of the Shen family dared to speak out, so they found a corner to stay honestly. Standing in the other corner was Du Gang and several of his men, who were considered plaintiffs.

After a while, a short man in an official uniform walked in from the back door of the hall, with a mustache and small bean eyes. This person is the biggest official in the Yamen of Gushan Town, Jiupin Tongju, surnamed Zhao. If you want to ask him how his official character is, just look at his fat belly.

I saw him sit on the Taishi chair, and he was shocked, which startled everyone in the Shen family who was standing below.

"Take the prisoner."

didn't let Zhao Tong wait longer, and Shen Cai's father and son were quickly brought up. was pressed to their knees, and the two never dared to look up.

This case is very simple, that is, Shen Cai's father and son lost money in gambling in the gambling house, owed a lot of debts, and couldn't pay it back. The gambling house did not mention the debt in court, but sued Shen Cai for fraud.

Why did the gambling house borrow Shen Caiyin? Because he pressed Jin Yu Mantang to the gambling house, but the fact is that Jin Yu Mantang is not Shen Cai's at all, what is this not a fraud?

Zhao Tong listened to the plaintiff's explanation of the situation and the evidence, and made a judgment at the moment.

"Shen Cai's father and son are evil gamblers, and each of them has fifty boards to set an example. Sentenced to two years' imprisonment for defrauding others of their finances. ”

As soon as the verdict was made, Shen Cai's father and son were blinded, not to mention whether the fifty boards could take the lives of their grandfathers, if they were in prison, their lives would be really ruined.

"My lord, I am wronged! Your Excellency has wronged! ”

Shen Cai's father and son knelt on the ground and kowtowed, knowing that it was useless, so they turned to ask Shen Zhong again.

"Second brother, I beg you, as long as you admit that the grain store belongs to me, I will not be considered a fraud, and I don't have to go to jail, you can save me and your eldest nephew!"

The Wang family also panicked, the second son is already someone else's son, and now that the man and the eldest son are in prison again, how will she live in the future!

"Second brother! You have to save your eldest brother, just for the sake of our affection for you, you have to help us too? ”

Shen Cai's eyes lit up when he heard Wang say this. "I've given such a big son, and you won't pay for it if you give it to the grain store, you can't help but talk about your conscience!"

The startling wood on the top of the 'pop ......' was another shot.

"No noise."

Shen Cai's family suddenly fell silent, at this time, silence is better than sound, the family, several pairs of eyes looked at Shen Zhong expectantly, where did Shen Zhong find a home.

Shen Zhong was about to agree, but someone interrupted.

"I have evidence to prove Shen Cai's innocence."

Xiao Xia looked back and saw that it was Shen Zhi, who had not been seen for a long time. At this time, the Shen family felt that Shen Zhi's body was simply shining with golden light, and he appeared in front of everyone's eyes like a savior.

"Who's in the hall? Dare to make a loud noise. ”

"In Lower Jiuyang City, the county lord is Bo, Shen Zhi." Speaking of taking out the seal that symbolizes his identity, the county lord Bo and the whole are all nine-grade petty officials, not to mention the upper and lower levels, and they are in charge of different affairs.

When Zhao Tong heard this, he was actually a petty official of the same level, so he felt that there was no need to care. He has already received Du Gang's money, and Du Gang is a reasonable party, and this case is still very easy. But it can't be ignored, Shen Zhi is also an official, so he can only ask a few more words.

"I don't know what Lord Shen has to say?"

"I can prove that my eldest brother Shen Cai is not guilty, he was deceived by the people in the gambling house, otherwise how could he lose a thousand taels of silver in a short period of time?"

Hearing Shen Zhi say this, Shen Cai's father and son immediately reacted.

"Yes, yes, we were deceived by the people of the Fortune Gambling House, we will lose every time we gamble, and we can't do it if we don't gamble, and those IOUs are also forced to sign by me."

"Yes, my dad is right. The first time they lent us money, they lent it to us. ”

Shen Cai's father and son were reminded by Shen Zhi before they remembered to bite back. What kind of place is the gambling house, it is originally a place to hide dirt and dirt, and it is no problem to splash dirty water casually. At that time, it will be the Hongyun Gambling House that will be checked, and the place will be checked for the stalls.

"My lord, Shen Cai is lying, there are many people who come in and out of the gambling house every day, and I can find many people to prove that Shen Cai took the initiative to borrow money from the gambling house. And Shen Cai's father and son are not like he himself said that he will lose every time he gambles, gambling is originally a win and a loss, and he wins a lot of times, I can also find someone to prove it. ”

Du Gang stood up and dared to open a gambling house, both black and white must be eaten, and the silver given to Zhao Tong every year is not a minority, so he has a lot of confidence.

However, Shen Cai's father and son owed so much silver, and the gambling house was suspected of deliberately luring, and besides, the gambling house was open for business, so naturally he didn't want to be investigated. Du Gang subconsciously glanced at Shen Xiaoxia, who was standing inconspicuously in the corner, and frowned, if he couldn't complete the task, would he be disgusted by his master? Headache!

Zhao Tongju also had a headache, collecting money from people and eliminating disasters, there were not many big cases, it was quite troublesome, and he was a little impatient in his heart.

"Both of you insist on your own words, and after the official finds out, you will be sentenced and withdrawn!"

"My lord, since my eldest brother can't be judged guilty, shouldn't I let it go first?"

Zhao Tongju glanced at Du Gang, who was discovered by Shen Zhi who saw it, frowned, and then relaxed, looking high and confident.

"Let go!"

When everyone in the Shen family walked out of the yamen, they felt like they were in a different world.
