Under the leadership of Sun Zhang, 23 shop owners in the county, including the Chu family, submitted a complaint together, accusing Yang Ji of bullying and dominating the market for more than ten years.

is an accusation against Yang Ji, then the old man of the Yang family is naturally the primary suspect, in addition to him, the three sons who participated in the Yang family's business operation, as well as the guys in the workshop and shop, also need to be present one by one. But Ding An really didn't expect the old man of the Yang family to be in such a state now, let alone interrogating in court, now I am afraid that it is a question whether he can survive the entire court trial.

Not only did Ding An not expect it, but Sun Zhang and the others were also shocked when they saw the old man of the Yang family who was salivating with crooked eyes on the stretcher carried by the officials, and then said in their hearts.

It is no wonder that the Yang family, who has been bullying and dominating the market for more than ten years, has not only made frequent tricks recently, but also played a good hand of cards to a sparse degree.

The old man of the Yang family couldn't speak, but it didn't affect the trial of the case at all, Sun Zhang and the twenty-three shop owners made sufficient preparations, and the witnesses testimonized and the evidence, as long as they could think of it, they were all prepared.

Coupled with the two deputy directors Zhao and Liu, who were also called, as well as the confessions of those guys and subordinates of the Yang family, even if the old man of the Yang family finds a miracle medicine and can open his mouth to defend himself, it is already useless.

Because there is no direct evidence, the Chu family thief and the rumors of fake silver tickets a while ago, the little couple originally did not report any hope that they could convict the Yang family or Yang Fangsheng together, but who would have thought that Yang Fangsheng actually slipped his mouth in the mutual bite with his entourage, and then under the continuous questioning of the Xin County Order, the bamboo tube poured beans, and they all did not admit themselves.

Although Sun Zhang, Chu Yi and others sorted out the things committed by the Yang family on the complaint one by one, and the evidence was conclusive, and the Yang family had nothing to refute, the trial of the Yang family's case of bullying and dominating the market was still carried out for three days.

During this period, the old man of the Yang family couldn't support it several times, so he invited Lang Zhong to come to consult on the spot, and everyone in the Yang family also changed from stubborn resistance at the beginning to lifeless and discouraged later.

The Xin County Commander announced the punishment of the Yang family on the spot: "According to the law of Daqian, the Yang family used improper means, malicious competition, and bullying the market for more than ten years, sealed and seized two houses of the Yang family on West Street, one shop and one workshop, and compensated 23 merchants with 10 taels of silver each.

Yang Fangsheng, the third son of the Yang family, instructed others to enter the house to steal, and incited the people to frame and slander the government and the imperial court, the circumstances were heinous and the crime was unforgivable. The sentence is 100 strokes, and the 17 members of the Yang family move to Huawai, and they are not allowed to return within four generations, and the offender should be beheaded.

Wang Dashun and Wang Xiaoshun, brothers, were instructed to enter the house to steal, and if they did not cause property damage, they were each punished with 20 rods, and they were executed on the spot."

Although the compensation for each family's ten taels of silver is not much, compared with the losses of each family, it is naturally a small matter, but everyone is still very satisfied with this result.

Thinking of the government's punishment of the Yang family, not only did they seize all the family property, but also moved the Yang family to Huawai, which means that the Yang family has no possibility of turning over and making a comeback again.

After retreating, the Chu family stopped Sun Zhang, who was surrounded by everyone, directly outside the yamen, and Chu Yi handed over the wooden box containing the sketch with both hands: "Thank you Boss Sun."

"Boss Chu can endure the pain of love, then Sun Mou is welcome, by the way, there is one more thing to say about the two of you, Zhao and Liu, the two deputy directors, and the Yang family will no longer be a member of my funeral chamber of commerce from now on, I don't know if Chu Ji is interested in joining our funeral chamber of commerce?"

The little couple glanced at each other, as if they didn't expect Sun Zhang to mention this, and they didn't know how to respond for a while.

Seeing that the two of them hesitated, Sun Zhang half-jokingly said: "Boss Chu, rest assured, we are a chamber of commerce just for the purpose of communication and mutual assistance between peers, and there will never be those bullying and dominating the market again, Boss Chu doesn't have to rush to give me an answer right now, the door of the funeral chamber of commerce has always been open for you."

The young couple originally didn't want to enter the Chamber of Commerce, first, they felt that it was unnecessary, and secondly, judging from Lin Ting's narrative and the performance of the Yang family, they didn't have a very good impression of these so-called chamber of commerce organizations.

Now Sun Zhang again

mentioned it, it stands to reason that the other party should be given this face, but the young couple's thoughts on the Chamber of Commerce now have not been solved because of the Yang family's affairs, and there is no big change, and it is difficult for a while.

Fortunately, Sun Zhang didn't say anything, and the little couple still expressed their gratitude for this.

Chu Yi bowed and said, "I really haven't thought about this for a while, but I still have more Boss Sun's good intentions, and I will wait for my husband and wife to go back and discuss it, and then make a decision, thank you!"

The little couple said goodbye to Sun Zhang and the others, and as soon as they returned to the shop on Changqing Street, they saw Uncle Chu and his family guarding the door.

When Uncle Chu saw the little couple returning with a smile on their faces, he knew that the result must be good, so he hurriedly greeted the two brothers Chu Li and the Xue family, and brought out the prepared brazier and pig's foot noodles.

"Ayi, look at you and Lu Zhu like this, it should be done, how can the county order the Yang family punish the adult?"

Chu Yi smiled and took the Zhengzheng in the arms of Third Uncle Chu: "Third Uncle, the Yang family will not entangle us again this time, the county ordered the Lord to seize the Yang family's property, and let the Yang family pay ten taels to each family."

Third Uncle Chu was a little surprised: "The seizure of family property is so serious!"

Shen Luzhu also said: "Not only the third uncle, but Yang Laosan was also fined a hundred rods, and the Yang family also had to move to Huawai because of his rumors, and he would never come back."

"Outside? That place is not a place where ordinary people can stay, so good, the Yang family has finally got retribution!

Come on, come on, don't just talk, Ayi Luzhu, you two quickly step over the brazier, and then eat this pig's foot noodles, Xiuxiu and Jiang Juan have been stewed since you went out!"

Shen Luzhu couldn't laugh or cry a little: "Third uncle, Chu Yi and I are not going to prison again, where do we still use the brazier to eat pig's foot noodles."

Third Uncle Chu said disapprerovantly: "It's not easy to get rid of the annoying ones of the Yang family, you can't go to the bad luck, listen to the third uncle."

The little couple smiled and shook their heads, Chu Yi took the lead in stepping over the brazier, and then helped his wife to step over.

The little couple ate a few more bites of pig's foot noodles at the door, and then everyone moved to the inner courtyard and listened happily to the tragic situation of the Yang family.

The Chu family was chatting lively, and there was a knock on the door outside the courtyard, Xue Changshan went out to check, and turned back after a while: "Master, it's Boss Wu, who often comes to the shop to buy goods, saying that he is looking for you for something, and I asked him to come in but refused."

This Boss Wu is also a peer who buys paper money, but the shop is not opened in the county seat, but in Tianqing Town, which is not far from the county seat.

Hearing this, Chu Yi hurriedly got up and went out to greet him: "How is Boss Wu lately? It's very cold, why don't you go into the hospital with your apprentice?"

Boss Wu rubbed his hands, a little embarrassed: "Boss Chu, I won't go in, I just want to ask, when is your shop going to open, this looks like a small year, I still want to buy more paper ingots to sell back, but you haven't opened the door twice in your house, you see if it's convenient today, sell me some, and save yourself from the town to toss over once, right?"

The Chu family's shop has not been open for a long time, and the Yang family's shop has not been open since the Yang family was taken away by Ding An a few days ago, and now it has been completely seized by the government.

The little couple originally planned to take a break and open the door tomorrow, but Boss Wu was a regular customer, and he came from Tianqing Town, so it was nothing to open a shop for him to get the goods.

Chu Yi smiled and nodded in agreement: "What's wrong with this, there are indeed some things at home that have been delayed recently, Boss Wu wait for a while."

After that, he turned his head and asked Xue Changshan, who was following him, to go back to the inner courtyard to get the key to the shop, and he accompanied Boss Wu to chat here.

Third Uncle Chu heard that Chu Yi was going to open a shop to sell goods, so after thinking about it, he hurriedly took out the firecrackers that were going to be set off when the shop opened the next day, and led Chu Li to put them outside the door.

Chu Yi was helping Boss Wu order the goods, when he heard firecrackers lit outside the door, and after collecting the money, he put it aside

and the apprentice helped each other, loaded the goods on the parked carriage outside the shop, and went out to check, and saw that the family was gathered outside the door, this time I knew that it was put by myself, and I didn't have to think about it to know that it was my third uncle.

Shaking his head and laughing, "Why did the third uncle still buy firecrackers, and it wasn't a new shop opening."

Third Uncle Chu said with a smile: "Originally, I planned to release it when the door opened early tomorrow morning, but since it is open now, it doesn't hurt to put it now, the left and right are all begging for a lottery, the same."

The sound of firecrackers in front of the Chu family attracted a lot of neighbors to go out to check, and when they saw that the Chu family's shop was opened, they gathered around.

The Chu family accumulated a lot of paper money sent by Jiang Quan a few years ago, and now that the shop is open, there is no need to deliver it for the time being, thinking that they are going back to the village soon, and the little couple did not notify the relatives and friends in the mountain village that their shop was reopened.

But within two days, Chu Ping, Jiang Quan and Shen Songjie actually came to the door together, and the little couple was busy in the shop at that time, and they were surprised to see the three of them enter the house together.

Shen Luzhu put down the work in his hand and greeted him: "Second brother? Why did you come here with your cousin and cousin?"

Shen Songjie smiled and joked with his sister: "You, who are a younger sister, don't tell your family anything big or small, and I, the second brother of the family, got the letter, so I naturally came here in a hurry."

Shen Luzhu naturally knew what Shen Songjie was talking about: "It's not that I'm thinking that I'm going to go back in a few days, such a happy thing naturally has to be told to the second brother in person, who did the second brother hear about it?"

"It's Brother Jiang Quan, he heard about it from the Lin family, so he came back and told us, there is nothing to do, so we will come together."

Seeing his cousin and sister-in-law looking at him, Jiang Quan hurriedly explained: "When I went to Lin Ji to buy paper, I happened to meet Boss Lin, and he asked me if I had heard of it, and I only found out, so I went back and said to Brother Heping and Second Brother Shen."

"Brother Lin?"

Seeing his cousin asking, Jiang Quan continued to explain: "It's Boss Lin, he also came to the county seat today, but he said that there was something to do, so he asked us to say congratulations to him for him, and said that he would come over when he was done."
