Chapter 122: Adults Love Money
Ma Dezheng saw that the opportunity had come, and immediately took two steps forward and shouted, "Silence! Mighty! ”
Accustomed to nature, the official who was still lazy and lazy suddenly grabbed the killing stick, neatly lit the ground, and shouted in unison: "Wei... Take..."
The lobby was quiet in an instant, and only Xu Sandian was left holding the mandarin duck belly pocket, which looked particularly eye-catching.
Zhuang Rou had already helped Liu to the side at this time, let her sit down against the pillar, and then stood up straight and looked at Chu Xia, whose skin was like jade, and the whole person was extremely exquisite.
There is only one thought in my heart: this guy seems to have been carefully dressed, not like a Zhizhou with power in his hands, to like a jade doll in his hand who is afraid of falling.
The Xu family had never met Lord Zhizhou yesterday, but now when they saw such a noble man sitting behind the desk, he was more delicate and beautiful than any woman they had ever seen, and they immediately stammered.
When Chu Xia came yesterday, the boat sat for a long time, and he felt a little uncomfortable, so he didn't have much to clean up. Today is his first case in Zhizhou, so he dressed up as usual, and suddenly became so rich that Hongzhou's dirt buns were dazzled.
Chu Xia glanced at Xu Santian, who was standing there dumbfounded, then picked up the tea sent by the master, took a sip and said, "Who is the hall, what case?" ”
The voice is unhurried, compared to the high-minded official tone of others, there is more of a sense of disgust that you have nothing to do Hurry up, this king does not want to talk to you laypeople.
With Shi Zang, who was standing on the side with an expressionless face and who had abused people so badly yesterday, Xu Tianfu's legs were so frightened that he dragged his injured body and took the Xu family to his knees on the ground.
"My lord! We just want to take our nieces and nephews back today, not yesterday. "Where did he dare to mention yesterday's incident, look at the disdain of Lord Zhizhou, the Xu family was not invited to dinner last night, and he thought that he was going to be burned with three fires as a new official.
Chu Xia looked at the master blankly, what happened yesterday? What's up?
The master knew that his adults must have forgotten about such a trivial matter, so he got up and whispered a few words, and quickly explained the matter.
It's boring......
Chu Xia flattened his mouth, and said with little interest: "Yesterday's punishment was for your intention to kill, and today's case has not yet been tried, so you are in a hurry to pick up people and go back to take advantage of the good time, kill and bury them?" ”
Xu Tianfu hurriedly begged: "My lord, how dare we kill someone!" This is the person who found Liu's interest, and he was willing to marry Liu's wife, so he came to take her back. ”
Zhuang Rou stood under the hall and looked at Chu Xia, and he happened to look at Liu from the side, and the two met their eyes.
So, Zhuang Rou raised her hand and put it on her face, and made a gesture of rubbing the silver ticket very casually.
Chu Xia ignored her hint as if he hadn't seen it, retracted his gaze, and looked at Xu Tianfu who was kneeling below with a thoughtful expression.
Xu Tongju sat down and responded with his fists clenched: "My lord, the kneeling person named Xu Santian is Liu's friend." Yesterday, when I heard that Liu was arrested, I came out with deep affection to marry Liu. ”
"I didn't go to propose marriage before, just because my family was poor and wanted to make some money to marry Liu, so that their mother and son could live a good life. I didn't think it was only a few days late, and there was a misunderstanding. ”
"The lower official has already asked, this is indeed the case, and it is all a misunderstanding. Yesterday's case has been closed, and today they just want to take Liu back, and ask the adults to investigate. ”
At this time, Liu Shi had already woken up, and when she heard this, she suddenly pounced on Xu Santian, grabbed him and beat and scolded, "You villain, when did I have an intention with you, you dare to talk such nonsense and destroy my innocence!" ”
Xu Santian didn't expect the usually weak Liu to dare to tear it up in the court, so he had to raise the belly pocket in his hand and shouted: "The belly pocket in my hand is evidence, you obviously have intentions with me, so you gave me this belly pocket." It's my fault for coming late to propose marriage, and when I go back, Yan Niang can beat and scold if she wants, don't be angry now, okay? ”
"Phew!" Liu Shi was so angry that his whole body trembled, and he knelt on the ground with his head banging on the floor, and cried to Chu Xia, "My lord is wronged!" This person is the person in the clan who wants me to marry, he eats, drinks, prostitutes, gambles, and has everything, and the women are unwilling to refuse the patriarch. And what is in his hands...... It's really a people's woman's, but it's kept in the cabinet on weekdays, and it must have been stolen last night! ”
"My lord! The women have absolutely no dealings with people, and they ask the adults to call the shots! ”
Her head was bleeding, if she was taken back to the Xu family to marry this person with this unclean name, she could only take her daughter to the river to show her innocence!
Zhuang Rou wanted to see how Chu Xia tried this case, if he followed the Qing official's method, he would at least have to interrogate the man named Xu Santian, or send the head of the arrester out to investigate.
But...... How much does this Xu family like the field, and they all have fields in their names.
Chu Xia felt that he was crying and shouting to death, so he grabbed the startled wood and slapped it on the table fiercely, which immediately made Liu and Xu Santian shut up in fright.
He picked up a black skewer and threw it down directly, "Interrogate that man, keep your breath." The official wants to hear the truth and doesn't like to lie. ”
The officials on both sides were stunned, and they were directly executed without asking a word?
The official didn't understand the temper of the new Zhizhou, and when he was hesitating, Ma Dezheng just drank, "Why are you stunned, torture!" As he spoke, he lifted the killing rod and stepped forward, and hit Xu Santian's ass hard with a stick.
This stick hit it really hard, and Xu Santian, who hadn't figured out what was going on, suddenly screamed, and his body subconsciously wanted to turn over and escape.
Shi Zang rushed in front of him with an arrow step, raised his foot and kicked him in the face, and suddenly three bloody teeth flew out and landed right in front of Xu Tianfu.
Xu Tianfu still had the injuries that Shi Zang got out of yesterday, but he didn't expect to do anything, so the ghost master rushed over and made a move, so scared that he almost urinated. The whole body trembled like a sheep going crazy, and I was afraid that I would be cleaned up again, and that would be my life.
Liu was also frightened and stayed in place, or the other officials rushed over, not wanting Ma Dezheng to look incompetent and disobedient, thinking that she was blocking the road and dragging them to the side, otherwise they would not be able to move.
Xu Santian's screams came one after another, and Chu Xia behind the table just drank tea slowly, without any intention of interrogation.
After taking a few sips of tea, he raised his head a little proudly and smiled at Zhuang Rou. Let her see how corrupt officials behave, and the little good thing she does is useless.
Although Zhuang Rou is in Douhu County, where law and order are good, he has never seen Chu Xia try any cases, and he has been recuperating for a long time after being injured, so he has no hope for him to try the case.
But without saying a word, you will be punished, this deputy does not care if you are guilty or not, as long as you go to court, you just want to trouble me, and the brutal method of beating you to death is still a little unexpected to her.
Especially now that he is still demonstrating to her, Zhuang Rou only thinks that he is a child, what is there to show off. No matter how well the case is handled, it will inevitably be said that he is an incompetent official, and he will be tortured without asking questions.
Zhuang Rou didn't say anything to stop it, and it was in vain for others to persuade him, and he listened to Xu Santian's screams in the lobby, coupled with the beating sound of the killing stick, which inexplicably made people feel a little rhyme.
Finally, Xu Santian couldn't stand it, and he begged without breathing: "My lord, I recruited, I recruited all ......"
"It's really boring to recruit it." Chu Xia put down the teacup and muttered dissatisfiedly, thinking that he could play for a while, but he didn't expect it to be over, "Then recruit from the truth, or don't recruit it." ”
Xu Santian dared not to move, if he continued to hold on, he might be beaten to death, and the flesh and blood below his waist were already blurred, and the pain was almost numb.
He lay on the ground and gasped for a few breaths before he came out, "My lord, it was Xu Tianfu who gave me Liu's Xu, and said that he could get a share of the store's dividends every year." Originally, it was all said, but the Liu family was unwilling to marry me, so Xu Tianfu wanted to frame her for stealing people, so that she could be solved by family law. ”
In order to survive, Xu Santian didn't call him patriarch anymore, and directly called his name one by one.
Seeing that he really dared to say it, Xu Tianfu, who was still trembling with weak legs, immediately straightened up and shouted: "Sandian! I'm your uncle! How can you talk nonsense! ”
He wanted to remind Xu Santian that if this matter hadn't been for the sake of this relative, he wouldn't have found him as a waste. casually change to a person who can see the past, and the Liu family will not be unwilling to marry.
Xu Santian glared at him and gritted his teeth and scolded: "If it weren't for you, how could I suffer from this flesh and skin!" My lord, it was he who asked me to pretend to be Liu's best friend, and bring someone back to marry her so that he could take away her family property. He also promised me an extra 500 taels of silver in addition to the store's dividends, and found an opportunity to force this Liu family to commit suicide to get rid of future troubles. ”
"You're spewing blood!" Xu Tianfu pounced and pinched his neck, while Xu Santian had no strength to struggle at this time, his eyes rolled when he was pinched, his face was hideous and his mouth was silently open, and he had no ability to fight for his life at all.
Chu Xia slapped the shocked wood fiercely, and said coldly: "Drag them away, it's really ugly and unsightly!" ”
The officials rushed up and pulled the two apart, and when they couldn't move, they kicked them up, and dragged Xu Tianfu away.
The matter has become clear, all the things are Xu Tianfu's plan to forcibly seize the property of orphans and widows, step by step. The dignified patriarch does not defend the women and children in the clan, but persecutes them in turn, which is really shameless to the extreme!
The people who followed Xu Tianfu couldn't stand up at this time, and they were directly arrested from the gate and thrown on the table and knelt together.
These are all accomplices, and none of them can be spared!
Chu Xia squinted at Xu Tongju, who was sitting on the side, a little apprehensive, and opened his mouth lightly, "Everything is because of wealth, then let this head of all evils be removed, and your sins will be cured, and there will be people who will commit it again in the future." ”
Xu Tongju saw it, this master is a money fan, he talks about silver when he opens and closes his mouth, and he is fined silver again when he listens to this tone. He shook his head slightly, punished so many times, Xu Tianfu Ke was greatly injured, after all, this is not a small amount of money.
And Chu Xia said in a very casual tone at this time: "Confiscate all the inheritance obtained by the Liu family, and allow her to take her daughter back to her parents' house to live, and the daughter will have no connection with the Xu family with her mother's surname from now on." Thinking that she wants to live, the official will give two hundred taels of silver to live. ”
Xu Tianfu, as the patriarch, poisoned the orphans and widows in the clan for money, confiscated all his property. The other participants were fined from 1,000 to 10,000 taels of silver according to the size of the crime, and their homes were raided if they had no money. ”
"Ahh Xu Tongju really couldn't listen to it anymore, so he stood up suddenly, and Chu Xia behind the desk still had an indifferent expression.
