If Xu Zengshou reacts slowly this time, I'm afraid that he will have to suffer again! But fortunately, he had already reacted at this time, and hurriedly put away his thighs and raised his knees when his body was falling, so that he was not pierced on the ground again!

But even so, when his knees hit the ground, he still felt a pain in his heart! So he had to throw himself forward and hold the ground with both hands before he could barely get into a decent kneeling position!

Liu Haojia didn't care about his feelings, and asked directly, "Xu Zengshou, I am asking you now, are you sure that the shop opened by Xu Peijiang was purchased with the money from your Xu family?"

Xu Zengshou's face was distorted in pain at this time, and he could only squeeze out a voice from between his teeth and say, "That's right, it's the Xu family's property!"

Liu Haojia nodded and turned to Xu Peijiang and said, "Xu Peijiang, he said that the dyeing workshop is the property of the public middle school, what do you say?"

Xu Peijiang immediately said loudly, "He lied! Although my family and the Songjiang Xu family are the same ancestor, they are not one at all, and they have been separated two generations ago!"

Liu Haojia immediately laughed when he heard this! He knew that Xu Peijiang had finally said the answer he needed most! So he immediately turned his head to look at Xu Zengshou and said, "He said that their branch and your Songjiang branch have long been separated, what do you say?"

Xu Zengshou was speechless immediately! The word separation is a very important word in Chinese social ethics, which means that there is no place for interaction between the two parties except for the common ancestor, and the economy is completely independent!

Family separation was an important thing at that time, even if it was an ordinary small family, the elders of the clan, neighbors, village chiefs or grain chiefs and others came forward to witness, clearly divided the family business, and wrote down detailed documents to keep the case before it was officially divided!

If the prominent families in a place have to be separated due to the large number of family members, it is a local event, and it can't be hidden at all! Just send someone to the local area and ask what is going on. Now as long as it is confirmed that they have separated, the reason Xu Zengshou said will definitely not be established, and it will definitely be easy to punish him for false accusations and fraud!

It's just that Sun County's order sentenced Xu Zengshou to win without verification at all, and the shop and dyeing workshop were attributed to the Xu family. And in the end, it is unknown whether this shop and dyeing workshop really fell into the Xu family's family property! It is more likely to fall into the hands of Xu Zengshou!

Liu Haojia saw that Xu Zengshou didn't speak, so he asked, "Xu Zengshou, now Ben Hou is asking you, if you don't speak, Ben Hou will acquiesce to your confession!"

But how could Xu Zengshou confess at this time! He raised his head slightly and said, "He said that if the family is divided, the family will be divided, how can an ancestor be divided?"

Liu Haojia relaxed his body and said, "What you said also makes sense! You can't be sure that you are two because of Xu Peijiang's one-sided words! It's better to do this, this official sent someone to Songjiang to investigate, I just recently heard that Zhang Xiangye's measurement of the world's acres of land has not been implemented in Songjiang, you can check it together!"

When Xu Zengshou heard this, the cold sweat on his face was even more! He knew that Liu Haojia was scaring him, but the problem was that he didn't know if Liu Haojia would catch that one percent and really dare to investigate!

If he wants to investigate, he can inquire about it as long as he sends someone to the local area to ask, and what he has done will be exposed immediately! Judging from the Xu family's "bright and upright" style, he will definitely be sent to serve his sentence and bear all the charges!

But compared to this matter, once Liu Haojia intervenes in the matter of clearing the acres, the reputation of the Xu family will be completely over! Because what Liu Haojia said was right, in the Songjiang area, the matter of checking the acres of land really couldn't go on, and the reason was that Xu Jie refused to return the fields! If this matter is opened, there will be no place for his whole family to die!

Thinking of this, Xu Zengshou immediately made up his mind, gritted his teeth and said, "No need to check, I'm confessing!" It is indeed the result of greed in the next moment!"

As soon as he said this, the people in the hall were in an uproar! Liu Haojia knocked on the startling wood to silence all the people, and then glanced at the county magistrate sitting next to him with an earthy face and asked, "Then when you filed a complaint, why did the county magistrate Sun sentence without even asking?" You paid him a bribe?"

Xu Zengshou said disdainfully when he heard this: "Where is the use of bribes to deal with people like him! I just took the post of my master! In order to slap my master, he can naturally agree to anything!"

Liu Haojia said: "That is to say, Sun County Ling knew that you falsely accused Xu Peijiang and deliberately cooperated with you to swallow his family property, isn't that so?"

Xu Zengshou has nothing to hesitate at this time, and he feels that with the face of Xu Ge Lao and Zhang Juzheng, he should be in danger, as long as he passes the current hurdle first, there will always be a chance to get out in the future! So he said very simply, "Yes, that's it!"

Liu Haojia then asked, "You are doing this kind of thing in Tianjin, I think Xu Ge Lao should not know, right?"

When Xu Zengshou heard Liu Haojia ask, he thought that he didn't want to involve Xu Gelao in the matter, and he was only staying at his own level, which means that even the punishment would not be too heavy! This is a common way of exculpating each other among officials! So he perked up and said, "My lord really doesn't know! Where do I need to ask my lord about this matter?"

In fact, Xu Zengshou misunderstood, and Liu Haojia himself did not mean to cling to Xu Jie. Because it can't be done on the one hand, on the other hand, the matter of 20,000 taels of silver really doesn't need Xu Jie to ask, so as long as the cause and effect of the whole case are determined, it's okay.

At this point, the truth has been completely revealed, Liu Haojia asked Xu Zengshou to sign and draw, and at the same time pointed to Sun County's order, whose face was like earth, and said, "You're finished!"

When he got the documents signed by Xu Zengshou, he pronounced the verdict and said: "The case of Xu Zengshou falsely accusing Xu Peijiang and his wife is withdrawn, and the shop and dyeing shop are returned to their original owners! At the same time, Xu Zengshou was involved in a huge amount of money and was sentenced to 15 years of hard labor!"

Xu Zengshou's face immediately changed when he heard this! He has been in Tianjin for a while, does he know what Liu Haojia is talking about? The lighter ones are to build bridges, pave roads, open mountains and dig stones, and the heavier ones are sold directly to dig coal in the coal mines! Not to mention fifteen years, even fifteen days, his body can't stand it!

He immediately shouted loudly: "Master Hou, for the sake of my master and Zhang Xiangye's face, spare the villain!"
