Chapter 262: Three Generations of Family Business

After listening to Hu Jing's explanation, Zhou Bingyi felt relieved, if he didn't deliberately resentence, but just took the lawsuit seriously, then it would be easy to say. It's already good to be able to make a case that fanned the people into an ordinary case. This dynasty also has a rule of reducing the crime with silver, as long as it does not involve political affairs and is not a serious case, he can use the silver to solve the matter, let Liang Qiyuan spend more money, it is not necessarily a bad thing for him to have a broken family, it can make him more aware of himself, and there is nothing wrong with a safe life for the family.

So Liang Qiyuan's case was reopened, and the first thing to extract was Liang Qiyuan's confession.

Liang Qiyuan knew from Zhou Bingyi that even his brother-in-law, who was the prefect, was powerless to incite such things as inciting civil rebellion and rebellion, and even when he was implicated and dismissed, he immediately lost his backbone, and asked what to say in the lobby.

The case is very simple, it has been tried once before, and this time there is not much change except for Liang Qiyuan's confession, so the second trial ended quickly.

Abandon all the premise reasons that outsiders don't know, just start from the rejection of inviting Qi Niangzi to make snacks, to the Liang family's unwillingness, and then disrupt the store run by the Qi family, and then escalate step by step, which is a simple civil entanglement.

As for the real reason, it's all at this time, how dare Liang Qiyuan say that he wants his daughter to marry or carry into Rong Liuye's mansion, so he invited Qi Ye to come to the door to make snacks, thinking that through Qi Ye, his daughter would have contact with Rong Liuye. Naturally, whatever the yamen asked, he said.

The focus of this case is on the outcome of the verdict. The county government sentenced Liang Qiyuan to compensate the Qijia snack shop for its operating losses before and after a period of time, totaling 800 taels of silver. In view of the fact that the troublemakers did not cause serious consequences, they were given a light sentence, and all the money used by the Liang family to buy the ruffians was handed over, and the ruffians each beat 30 boards as punishment. Liang Qiyuan, as the main messenger of the incident, was given 50 boards and served five years of hard labor.

All of these are spoken in silver, and the Qi family's silver, needless to say, is eight hundred taels on the surface, and it will be given immediately.

And the dirty silver that was confiscated from the ruffian, the ruffian suffered from being imprisoned for such a long time, and the silver he got was confiscated by the yamen, so after he came out, he naturally had to ask Liang Qiyuan for it again. The Yamen had already said in the judgment that after the ruffians handed over the dirty silver, there must be no more disturbances to the place, otherwise the relevant people will be severely punished. The implication is that Liang Qiyuan must take matters into account himself.

Liang Qiyuan is now like a frightened bird, for fear of being accused of killing his head, in order for the ruffians to stop making trouble and causing trouble, this silver is naturally going to be taken out.

The bigger one is in the five years of hard labor, the eldest man of the Liang family has served hard labor, and the labor of the criminal is different from the service of ordinary people, and the amount of money that needs to be paid is not the same.

Therefore, when Liang Qiyuan was carried out by the yamen's servants, although his face was gray, his body was sluggish, and his steps were faltering, and the people who came to pick him up from the Liang family were also drooping, and even the servants who served were simple, only the coachman and the housekeeper.

Liang Qiyuan was hit by fifty boards, with Zhou Bingyi's dots, and he was not injured much, at most it was bruised and bleeding from the epidermis. But after all, it's fifty boards, even if it's light, it's not easy to suffer.

He was supported by the elderly butler, climbed into the carriage with great difficulty, leaned on the two pillows in the carriage, and then asked the butler sitting on the wheel with a trembling voice: "Why did these two people come over?" What about the others? ”

The butler's back stiffened, and he turned around and replied: "Back to the eldest master, the eldest master went home today, and the eldest grandmother was busy instructing the minions to do things, and she couldn't spare more manpower, so the younger two had to come." ”

When he entered the gate of Liang's mansion, he didn't feel anything, and when the carriage didn't stop all the way, and when he walked directly to the backyard, Liang Qiyuan found that something was wrong and asked the housekeeper: "How to take this road?" ”

From Liang Qiyuan finding out that something was wrong, to asking for words, the carriage had already arrived at the gate of the backyard. The housekeeper got out of the car first, and then returned to support Liang Qiyuan.

Liang Qiyuan's figure didn't move, looking at the second door that was not the original second door, and asked the housekeeper: "Why did you stop here?" How did the eldest grandmother arrange things, got out of the car early, can't I walk back to the room like this? ”

The housekeeper made an old face and said, "Master, this is the second door of our family." In order to make up the money for servitude, the former inner courtyard was sold even the backyard and the side courtyard. ”

"Sold ......" Liang Qiyuan subconsciously muttered, his already bad face even more ugly, "What about the servants, are they all sold?" ”

The housekeeper said, "The eldest grandmother said that even the yard is gone, and even the servants are left, and there is no place to live." Most of them were sold, and the rest were the original servants of the family, and a few people who had to be used. Even the servants of the world, most of them went to the countryside to do things, and sent away the original people in the countryside. ”

Not even a place for the servants to live? Yes, if the inner courtyard is sold to the east, there are indeed few houses left in the family. Liang Qiyuan asked in a trembling voice: "What about the fields and shops, how many are left?" ”

"All three shops were sold. Only half of the land remained, and it was all good land, and the rest was sold. The butler said grimly. He is also a servant of the Liang family, and he knows that the Liang family's family business is not easy, and the efforts of three generations are gone.

"Home, just like that?" Liang Qiyuan's voice became lower and lower. The spirit of holding on for many days, after being hit by the board today, and hearing the news again, finally collapsed, rolled his eyes, and fainted.

…………

The eight hundred taels of silver tickets awarded by the yamen were taken back by Mama Jin, Ye Xinyan looked at these silver tickets that indicated white flowers and silver, and her heart was really tired, even the dark lines of the silver tickets she had always liked were extremely unpleasant to look at at this time.

She asked Mama Jin: "How much silver did we lose before and after our shop?" ”

Mama Jin said: "There are not many people in our store during this time, but the back kitchen has not stopped, and Honghe Tower has sold a lot more." The loss is not much, that is, dozens of taels. ”

Ye Xinyan pointed to a few silver tickets in disgust and said, "That's so much." What to do? ”

Mama Jin said, "What to do? We deserve it. Mama Jin stopped what Ye Xinyan wanted to say, "The slave knows what Ye Zi means, let's do a good job, and Ye Zi is also doing things at home, but he was troubled by that Liang or something." This is not something that can be measured by the loss of silver in the store, so he dared to find Ye Zi to go to his house to serve dim sum, even if he accompanied his family to Ye Zi, his family did not have so much silver. ”

The more Mama Jin spoke, the more angry she became, what is the identity of his Liang family, and what is the identity of the eldest lady, and he actually asked the eldest lady to come to the door to serve, which is simply looking for death.

Okay, okay, the brain circuits of the ancients are different from her, Ye Xinyan saw this kind of formation, and hurriedly retreated. But she still dislikes those silver tickets, "These silver grandma look at it, and you can use it to make a difference." It's just that it's best not to expand the store in the near future, otherwise it won't look good.
