Chapter 33: The Crimes of the Yuan Family
"Back to the county master, the grass people sued the Yuan family, and the Yuan family took charge of the mine on behalf of the imperial court, but they disregarded people's lives and did not care about the lives of craftsmen at all, so far more than ten people have lost their lives, and they also deducted the wages of craftsmen, deducted workers' food, and most importantly, the Yuan family lied to the court about the output of the mine."
As soon as Zhou Ziwei's words came out, the entire quiet main hall suddenly boiled, these charges added up, and the Yuan family couldn't afford it.
"Zhou Mingshu, you don't want to spew blood, when did the Yuan family take people's lives, don't talk nonsense, county master, don't listen to his nonsense, no, the Yuan family doesn't have it at all."
Yuan Wenjing heard Zhou Ziwei's story one by one, and he was very scared in his heart, but he still denied it vigorously, roaring loudly, and the audience was in an uproar, and everyone was discussing each other in private.
"The Yuan family doesn't dare to do things, Uncle Li didn't just say that there were no people a few days ago, but there was no result, some time ago, too, Xiao Tong's father, suddenly said that it was gone, there was no explanation, everyone said in private, there will be people in this mine."
"Yes, my husband also went because of the high salary, but what was the salary that was originally said before, but after going later, it was less than half, this is deception, and then my husband came back, but fortunately he didn't go, otherwise there would be no one to do."
"Yes, this Yuan family has always been looting and making money from the people, and these money are earned by stepping on the bodies of many people, and sooner or later they will be retributed."
The people also tirelessly discussed with each other, speaking of this Yuan family, every common person was angry in their hearts, and they all wished that the Yuan family would be punished by the court as soon as possible.
"Zhou Mingshu, why are you framing my Yuan family." Yuan Wenjing was extremely dissatisfied in his heart, thinking that Zhou Mingshu came to take revenge on him because of his proposal to the Zhou family that day, Yuan Wenjing secretly felt that they would not have evidence.
Yuan Wenjing suddenly walked to Zhou Mingshu's side and wanted to make a move on Zhou Mingshu, Cen Beisheng suddenly grabbed Yuan Wenjing's hand and looked at Yuan Wenjing coldly.
"Yuan Gongzi, this is the yamen, please think carefully about your behavior, and don't act recklessly."
Cen Beisheng's cold words made Yuan Wenjing frightened, so he had to withdraw his hand.
"Quiet, quiet, this is the yamen, not a bazaar, not a place to make you so noisy at will, this is a place for everyone to redress grievances, not a bazaar for you to make noise."
The county lord couldn't stand the noisy scene, so he had to stop the whole scene, although the Yuan family was like a snake in Wanping County, and he still didn't want to offend, but this master book and teaching were the county lord's people, and the county lord couldn't afford to offend, so he had to be impartial and wait to watch the show.
"The county lord has arrived." At this moment, suddenly the voice of a maid interrupted everyone, and everyone looked outside, only to see that the county lord also rushed over when he heard the news.
Zhou Ziwei really didn't think that how could the county lord come over for this, it was not to make decisions for the Yuan family, it shouldn't be, the county lord obviously couldn't lift a stone to shoot himself in the foot, now everyone should be trying their best to get rid of the relationship with the Yuan family, how could they have a connection with the Yuan family?
Zhou Ziwei felt that the county lord was not a simple person, and now she couldn't figure out the county lord's intention to come here for a while, but today's Yuan family's affairs are already a certainty, and no one can change it, and according to her own investigation, the county lord is not very close to the Yuan family, so it shouldn't stop today's matter.
"Participate in the county lord."
Everyone saluted the county lord in a gorgeous costume together, and naturally including the county magistrate, he naturally saluted the county lord.
"Everyone, please hurry up, the county lord is just here to observe today, and he will not interfere, the county master, please continue."
The county lord was smiling, and his demeanor and speech all revealed affinity, but he saw that the county lord naturally sat aside calmly and motioned to the county lord to continue the trial.
Zhou Ziwei looked at the county lord, only to see that the county lord also looked at herself, but the expression was very complicated, Zhou Ziwei couldn't see whether there was joy or anger in this look, but Zhou Ziwei didn't want to guess carefully, she was for the people, no matter what the reason, she would expose these unfair things.
"That'...... Then our case will continue to be tried, Zhou Mingshu, you just said that you want to sue the Yuan family, do you have evidence. ”
Because of the appearance of the county lord, the whole person became nervous, beads of sweat the size of beans continued to seep down, and he didn't feel trembling when he spoke.
"Back to the county master, before I went to the mine with the master bookkeeper, I happened to meet Uncle Li, that is, the mine craftsman suddenly met an accidental death in the mine, the craftsman said that the mine treated the craftsmen harshly, and often did not give the craftsmen food, resulting in poor physical condition, the workers did not have enough rest, the mental state was not good, and they fell from the shelf to death, and most importantly, this is not the first case, nor is it the last case, there have been no less than ten such accidents in the mine, and the county master can also find the surrounding people to testify, Probably there are family members of these victims. ”
Zhou Ziwei looked at the dense crowd of people outside, and many people who had been persecuted by the Yuan family before also came to see the excitement, hoping to see the Yuan family's jokes today.
"No, no, county master, those craftsmen fell to their deaths because they were careless, it's not our responsibility, and we have all given their families pensions."
Yuan Wenjing hurriedly walked to the front and explained, at this moment, Yuan Wenjing was much calmer than before, because Yuan Wenjing's heart was much calmer, because of the arrival of the county lord, they were grasshoppers on a boat, and I believe she would not stand idly by.
"Zhou Mingshu, everything is about evidence, do you have evidence?"
The county magistrate looked at Zhou Ziwei, if there is evidence, then this matter will be easy to handle.
"Back to the county master, the grass people have witnesses, can you allow the grass people to bring them up." Zhou Ziwei is still calm and calm, without the slightest panic, Yuan Wenjing on the same side is simply different.
"Yes, bring it with you." The county master nodded, and Yuan Wenjing on the side was obviously a little flustered, Zhou Mingshu actually had someone to witness? It seems that Zhou Mingshu is really prepared.
Cen Beisheng was also slightly surprised, but he didn't expect that Zhou Mingshu could really persuade the man to testify, after all, it was very likely to offend the Yuan family by testifying this time.
