Chapter 235: Execution in the Ancestral Hall
Yu Daquan went home with a red face and a drunken body, and Miao opened the door for him with a big belly.
"Where are you fooling around, you're going to take the county test soon, and my father said that I want you to work hard at home!"
Miao poured a basin of warm water for Yu Daquan, soaked the hand towel and dried it to wipe his face, and frowned.
She said that Yu Daquan was fooling around, but in her heart she was extremely relieved about Yu Daquan, knowing that he couldn't find other women recently, and before he went out, he also said that he was a friend who took the exam together and invited him to dinner, and he also helped introduce big people, and he didn't even ask her for money.
didn't ask her for money, and she let go of most of her heart. He doesn't have any money, he just wants to find those vixens, and the vixens won't necessarily take care of him.
Miao thought so, and helped Yu Daquan take off his coat again.
"Huh?"
Miao touched Yu Daquan's clothes and felt that something was wrong.
"How do you think there are a few pieces of paper?"
Miao reached into his clothes, and really took out a few pieces of paper, leaned into the light to look at it, and was stunned.
Although she didn't know many words, she still recognized the common ones.
The paper is very light and thin, but surprisingly tough, with the words "Dazhang Bao Banknote One Hundred and Two" written on it, and many stamps.
This is......
Silver ticket?
Or five.
Each is in a denomination of one hundred taels.
It's five hundred taels.
Miao Shi looked at the silver ticket in his hand in a daze, then turned his head to look at Yu Daquan, who was sleeping and didn't know anything, turned around and walked out, locking the silver ticket to the bottom of her dowry box.
As for where Yu Daquan's silver ticket came from, if he didn't mention it, then she wouldn't ask.
……
"You didn't properly handle the matter of the thief and caused two innocent lives to be killed, even if you didn't directly harm people, but you can't get away with responsibility."
In front of the Yu ancestral hall, Jiang Lingfan was dressed in official clothes, with a majestic expression, looking at Yu Xia opposite.
Yu Xia half-bowed her head and said nothing, and people with sharp eyes could see tears flashing in the corners of her eyes.
Yes, there is also her prospective brother-in-law among the dead, can this be well bearable?
The villagers didn't expect that the thief had been targeted by Yu Xia before, but he didn't cut the grass and eradicate the roots in time, which caused a big disaster.
But having said that, if Yu Xia is a member of the public family, it doesn't matter if she is a member of the public family, there is no problem in curing the crime of dereliction of duty, but the key is that she is not!
So the villagers looked at Yu Xia with some sympathy, it was uncomfortable enough for the prospective brother-in-law to die, and he would be scolded by the master in the yamen at this time, and he was too aggrieved, but he was afraid of Jiang Lingfan's majesty, and no one dared to speak out.
This poor master is probably because of his life, let's find Xia Ya's head to top the tank.
Thinking so, everyone glanced at Jiang Lingfan several times with imperceptible disdain.
"It was my negligence, and I admit punishment." Yu Xia still hung his head, his voice was hoarse, and he said this sentence in a low voice.
Anyone can feel her self-blame and depression.
She probably blames herself, right?
So he didn't justify himself at all, and just admitted his mistake.
I can't forgive myself, but how can I ask for forgiveness from others?
The onlookers felt a little moved, and secretly hated the official in their hearts for being unkind.
However, no one pleaded.
"In that case, I won't bring you back to the Yamen, I heard that the punishments in your Guoshu Village are all carried out in front of the ancestral hall, since you are an unscrupulous descendant of the Yu clan, you can be executed here."
As he spoke, Jiang Lingfan beckoned the two officials in the yamen, pulled a stool, pressed Yu Xia's shoulders and let her lie down.
Yu Xia did not show any intention of resisting from beginning to end.
Yu Daquan went to the county seat to work, and Yang Cuilian and Yu Xian were dragged at home by Yu Chun, so Yu Xia was not worried that his family would see it and worried about himself.
The village head, Yu Zhen, stood beside Jiang Lingfan, and saw the thin and weak Yu Xia lying on the bench like this, which was not much wider than the stool, and felt a little unbearable at the thought that she was about to be punished.
"This poor master, Xia Yatou is still young, even if she makes a mistake, should she be ...... lightly?"
The old man frowned, cautiously, and looked at Jiang Lingfan with begging eyes.
Jiang Lingfan was unmoved.
"Wrong is wrong, no rules are not a circle, the law is not merciful, if everyone is light, then no one is afraid of making mistakes in the future."
Someone in the crowd scoffed.
"What the poor master said is right! Some people have some money and do wrong things, but they still have a thick face and are beautiful outside, and this kind of disloyal and unfilial people are better to be killed in my opinion! ”
Yu Xia didn't even twist his head to know who was speaking.
Yu Debiao walked out from behind the crowd, his eyes swept around the surrounding villagers, but he didn't find the figure he was looking for, and sneered: "Why, this little evil animal is punished and doesn't even show up to his father?" It's really right to say that he is unfaithful and unfilial, and he doesn't even care about his daughter! ”
Jiang Lingfan didn't know who Yu Debiao and the family behind him were, and frowned when he heard this.
Yu Zhen leaned over and whispered about what happened in this family.
Jiang Lingfan sighed secretly after hearing this, no wonder Yu Xia couldn't let go of his family, with such an unkind grandfather, it was very difficult for the family to live well.
Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read.
"The government is on an errand, and the idle people can't make noise!"
Jiang Lingfan glanced at Yu Debiao and his party coldly, and several people were swept by his cold and majestic gaze, and they were worried for a while, but they were honest and didn't say anything more, but they still had undisguised schadenfreude in Yu Xia's eyes.
Miao followed Yu Daquan to stand behind Yu Debiao, and when he saw Yu Xia who was honestly lying on his stomach and was about to be hit by the board, his heart blossomed.
If it weren't for this girl's ability, his Yu Dayou's family would not have been able to live so well now, and Yu Dayou might not have the courage to stand on his own, causing them to cut off the source of 300 yuan of silver per month.
Not to mention that later this girl lion opened her mouth and asked herself to extort a lot of money, and someone finally came to clean up this black-hearted girl!
Jiang Lingfan showed no mercy and directly announced that he would be punished with a hundred rods.
100 ?!!
The audience was in an uproar.
The villagers didn't expect this official to be so ruthless.
Before Yu Dayou wanted to take his family to set up his own door, he was punished with a hundred rods in this place. There was a strong man in Yu Da who was beaten off half of his life at that time, can this Xia girl's thin body and bones withstand it? It's a human life!
"This lord, isn't this punishment too heavy, Xia Yatou didn't make any big mistakes......
Finally someone asked.
"Do you mean I'm making a big fuss?"
Jiang Lingfan's face sank, his tone was cold, and he didn't care how others reacted, he only waved his hand and said to the two servants who were holding the special board for cane punishment brought from the yamen:
"Execution."
