"My lord, except for the meal that the villain has eaten a few times when he first took office, there is no illegal thing on the side, even the villain's grandfather celebrates his birthday, and the villain's family holds a banquet, and the villain has not taken a penny."

Chu Ren didn't mention Grandpa Chu's birthday, but now mentioning it is simply adding fuel to the fire, Xin County Ling directly waved his hand at Cao County Lieutenant who was standing aside.

I saw Cao County Lieutenant stand up with an account book, and read word by word: "On the third day of the seventh month of the 31st year of Yonghe, the shopkeeper of the king of the east of the street is twenty taels, and the boss of the west of the city is fifteen taels......

Every word that came out of Cao County's mouth was like a stone smashed on Chu Ren's body, he raised his head suddenly, staring at the account book in Cao County's hand in disbelief: "Impossible, impossible, how do you know so clearly, if you knew it earlier, why did you arrest me now?" Where did this come from? Where did this come from?"

Looking at Chu Ren, who was already a little crazy in the hall, Xin Xian Ling waved his hand, and Cao County Lieutenant closed the account book and returned to his original position to stand.

"Someone, put these bold four people in prison."...

Hearing this, several officials immediately came out and said yes, and then heard Xin County's order speak, "County Lieutenant Cao."

"The lower official is here."

"This county orders you to find out all the crimes of these people within five days, and then ascend to the court in five days."

"The lower officer obeys."

Seeing that it was time for Chu Ren to return home for lunch in the past, but no one came back, Wang urged Uncle Chu to go out to find it: "He, Daddy, what time is it, why hasn't Ah Ren come back, you go to the street to greet him."

Uncle Chu was a little reluctant, knocked the cigarette pouch in his hand and said, "Maybe there is something delayed, he is such a big person, can he still lose it?"

Wang didn't know why, he just felt panicked for no reason, and when he saw Uncle Chu's refusal to move, the panic turned into anger, and shouted: "Let you go, you can go, you can still be tired when you go out on the street!"

The Li family, who was cooking in the hall with his mother-in-law at home, although he didn't show much on his face, he couldn't help but feel a little excited in his heart, Chu Ren didn't come back, could it be that something had already happened over there?

Uncle Chu still couldn't beat the Wang family in the end, and reluctantly put on a jacket made of lambskin, and walked towards the courtyard gate unhurriedly.

But before he could reach the gate of the courtyard, there was a knock on the door of "bang bang bang", and Uncle Chu muttered: "Look at this, I will come back, I have to toss people."

Just this sentence, the knock on the door became more and more violent, as if there was something burning his eyebrows, Uncle Chu hurriedly walked a few steps, and his mouth responded: "Coming, coming."

I thought that it would be my son Chu Ren, who returned late, outside the door, but who would have thought that as soon as the door latch was withdrawn, the courtyard door was pushed open by a huge force, and in the middle of stumbling, Uncle Chu saw more than a dozen officials rushing in.

"You guys, what are you doing here? My son is an official in the county government."

The loud sound of the courtyard gate hitting the courtyard wall attracted Grandpa Chu's family out, and when they saw a group of officials standing in their courtyard, they were all a little dazed.

Seeing this, Li knew that his guess was right, and he stepped forward to ask with a disguised excitement, "I don't know why all the officials came to the door?"

Chu Ren was sent to prison for embezzlement of taxes, although the county government has not yet been convicted in court, but at this time, Grandpa Chu's family is also going to be controlled, waiting for questioning one by one, but it is not Ding An's turn to personally go out for such trivial matters.

Yuan Zhu, the leader, said quickly: "Chu Ren has been put in prison this morning because of the embezzlement of taxes, and the stolen goods have been put in prison, and this arrester has been ordered to come and guard Chu Ren's family, from now on, everyone in the Chu family is not allowed to step out of this courtyard for half a step, and people will come into the house to search, and all the gold and silver will be recorded for me, and I will take it back to the adults later."

What? Embezzle taxes! Chu Ren went to prison!

Just when everyone was so shocked that they couldn't speak, they only heard Grandma Chu exclaim, "Old man!"

I saw that Grandpa Chu's eyes were closed, and he fell straight behind him, thinking that he was directly frightened by the news and fainted.

Uncle Chu and Grandma Chu hurriedly carried the fainted Grandpa Chu into the house, but the Wang family didn't care much, so they just rushed forward, grabbed Yuan Zhukuai's clothes and kept asking: "Impossible, you lie, my Ah Ren is an official in the yamen, how can I be arrested, impossible, you liar, where is my Ah Ren, I want to see him, someone must have deliberately harmed him, he was wronged!"

No matter what, before Chu Ren's family was convicted, Yuan Zhukuai would not easily do anything to this family, even if the Wang family was so crazy, he just broke her hand holding her clothes, straightened her clothes and said: "The prince is still guilty of the same crime as the common people when he breaks the law, not to mention Chu Ren, a small city man, whether he is wronged or not, it is up to the adults to decide, you can wait to be questioned with peace of mind."

But how could the Wang family be willing to give up so easily, seeing that Yuan Zhukuai, the leader, was unmoved, and rushed towards the gate of the courtyard with a struggle, actually wanting to break through the blockade of the officials and rush to the street outside the courtyard.

However, these officials are not vegetarians, if they really make the Wang family rush out, how can they have the face to go back to the yamen, and immediately two people took a big step forward, stretched out their hands and grabbed Wang's shoulders, and suddenly blocked Wang's progress.

Wang's momentum was so great, it was interrupted so suddenly, it was too late to retract the momentum, the force recoiled, and suddenly the whole person fell backwards, his head hit the ground directly, and blood flowed out, fortunately, it was only a traumatic injury, and after asking Lang Zhong to bandage it, the bleeding was stopped, but in the end it was injured on the head, and I couldn't go on such a rampage for a long time after I thought about it.

Grandpa Chu's family is in a mess at the moment, but the Li family is the only one with a pair of children who stays in the Yuan family's side room and does not mix in the farce outside.

The Xin County Order gave Cao County Lieutenant five days to thoroughly investigate the cases of Xu Shiling and Chu Ren, and these five days are not long, nor are they short, if they investigate any suspenseful cases, it may not be enough, but they can investigate the corruption and bribery cases of Xu Shiling and Chu Ren with clear goals, and the time is quite sufficient.

The Xu family and Grandpa Chu's two families, before waiting for the officials in the yamen to use any means, were a little frightened, and they handed over everything that should be said and what should not be said.

and then correspond to the merchants they confessed, go to verify them one by one, and when they see the official messenger coming to the door, these merchants are not unreasonable, not to mention that there are many reluctant people who were filial to this silver at the beginning, so that the human and material evidence is complete, even if Xu Shiling and Chu Ren want to deny it, it will not become any climate.

When Chu Ren was escorted to the lobby again on the sixth day, he knew that he was finished, when he saw the stack of incriminating evidence in front of Xin County's order, and the merchants who were also brought to the front of the hall.

The evidence is conclusive, the ascension of the day was very smooth, Xu Shiling was an official whose name was registered in the household department, and his handling needed to be reported to the household department, but Chu Ren did not need it, and the Xin County order announced his punishment on the spot.

"Chu Ren, in the twenty-ninth year of Yonghe, bribed court officials, sought the position of a city husband, used power for personal gain, used the coffin shop as a cover, forced, coerced and induced merchants to buy paper money at high prices, and accepted bribes as much as nearly 1,000 taels.

He also joined his subordinates Wang Wu and Zhao Jin, two city guards, forged account books, embezzled more than 100 funeral taxes, and was arrested and seized on the spot.

Chu Ren perverted the law for bribes and abused his power, and in accordance with the laws and regulations of the Great Cadres, he was sentenced to be dismissed from the post of city husband, confiscated a family property, beheaded after the autumn, and exiled to the three clans for thousands of miles......

When Chu Ren was still in prison, he had already expected his end, his filial piety can be big or small, after all, the city husband is not an official of the imperial court, but the matter of designing Chu Yi is now defined as embezzlement of taxes, everything involving taxes, it must be a big case, he knows that he will not escape death.

It's just that there has always been something unclear in my heart, why the county lieutenant Cao or the Xin county order can know so clearly about his filial piety, and now when he hears this, it seems that he has been hit head-on, his ears are ringing, and the voice in the hall seems to be cut off by half, and there is only the sentence "Li's evidence is meritorious" in his mind.

Why?

He changed her all the way from an ordinary peasant woman to an official wife who now lives in the county compound and has a mother-in-law to serve her, isn't he treating her well enough?

Why?

The same

Doubts were also lingering in the hearts of Grandpa Chu's family at this time, and after the Xin County Order announced the verdict in court, the official messenger soon came to the courtyard of Grandpa Chu's house, ready to take everyone away.

"Chu Ren paid bribes and embezzled taxes, and the three clans were sentenced to exile for thousands of miles, and we were ordered to come and arrest them, hoping that the Chu clan would not resist and be arrested."

When they saw that even Grandpa Chu, who was too weak to do anything, was dragged to the courtyard and put on shackles, while the Li family took a pair of children and stood under the eaves with the Yuan family, looking at all this coldly, Grandpa Chu's family had a lot of doubts in their hearts, why is this why the exiled three clans, why can the Li family be safe and sound?

"That...... How did the Lee family ......?"

Before Wang finished muttering, he saw Yuan Zhukuai leading Chu Zhi's daughter, who was sobbing constantly, to Li: "My lord remembered that this girl was young, so he pardoned her punishment, and left it to Li to bring her to her mother."

Li took the little girl's hand, bowed and saluted, "Thank you, sir."

Yuan Zhuai didn't speak again, just nodded, then turned around, waved his hand at the officials, and said, "Take it away." Look at the book

Only then did Wang really determine that the Li family was fine, and refused to leave with a shouting and roaring: "Why, why is the Li family fine, why don't you take the Li family and her old lady, why?"

When Li heard this, she walked in front of Wang step by step, and she didn't want to let a pair of children know that it was her aunt who denounced her father, so she whispered: "Because I reported Chu Yi, I have been waiting for this day for a long time, since when I was in the backing village, you two put all the fault on me."

"Lee! You black-hearted poisonous woman! You don't have to die well!"
