Chapter 405: The Odd Case (2)(1/2)
"We only sell singing here, not our bodies. Old lady, please don't slander us! Let me go in and send a message to your daughter." After Yuan Gui said that, he had to go find Sister Xia.
"I will never see anyone from the Jiang family again until I die!" Sister Xia said to Yuan Gui, "Go and tell my mother that I don't want to see her. I am no longer her daughter, let her go back. Back then
My parents were greedy for money and sold me, but today they are looking for me to go back. I hate them! I never want to live that kind of poor life again."
When the beautifully dressed Sister Xia heard that her mother was looking for her, she immediately lowered her face and said she was not there. Sister Xia was used to living a romantic life of luxury and luxury, and she no longer wanted to live a regular and poor life.
"Your daughter said that she will never see you Chiang family again! She is no longer your daughter. She doesn't want to see you at all. Back then, you and your wife sold your daughter for money, causing her
She was reduced to a prostitute, and now she is resentful of you. Moreover, she lives a very good life here and never wants to go back to your poor family to live in poverty again!" Yuan Gui said to Zhao.
"Son, it's really embarrassing for your sister to make a living in a singing and dancing hall now. What should we do?" Zhao had no choice but to discuss it with her son Jiang Cheng angrily.
"I'm going to see my sister. If she is willing to come home with us, then let's do it; if she is not willing, I will take her home and see which grandson dares to stop her!" Jiang Cheng has practiced martial arts with his father since he was a child.
The strong-tempered person immediately became furious and went straight to find his sister. When Jiang Cheng saw Sister Xia, he did not allow anyone to stop her and snatched Sister Xia out, dragging her to the ground.
"This is outrageous! We are robbing people in broad daylight!" Yuan Gui and his wife were furious. Each of them held Sister Xia firmly with one hand.
"Let me go, otherwise, be careful with my fists!"
Although Yuan Gui and his wife were a little scared, they were unwilling to let go.
Jiang Cheng stepped forward and punched Yuan Gui in the face twice, until his nose and mouth started to bleed, and his nose was bruised and his face was swollen.
"You...you dare to hit someone?"
"You're the one I'm beating! You tricked my sister into coming here, I didn't ask you to settle the score, and you actually dared to stop me from taking her away. If you dare to stop me again, be careful, I'll smash your head in!" Jiang Cheng
Very emotional.
Although Sister Xia did not want to go home, she could not disobey her mother and brother, and she was afraid that her brother Jiang Cheng would beat up Yuan Gui and his wife and cause a lawsuit, so she had to reluctantly return home with her mother and brother, but she still felt
Yearning for the decadent and hedonistic life with Kong Dexing.
After Sister Xia was taken away, Yuan Gui immediately lost a money tree. He thought to himself: I bought Sister Xia from Wu Yi with my own money. I have the right to keep Sister Xia, how could it be in vain?
Let the Jiang family snatch it away?
So he asked someone to tell Mrs. Zhao: "I am willing to buy Sister Xia back with another ten taels of silver, and we will settle the matter privately."
"My sister's innocence was stained by them for nothing, and now they want to buy her back to be a geisha. How can this be done? Besides, they force girls into prostitution and buy and sell people, which is against the king's law. Even if they file a lawsuit, they are not afraid of them!" Jiang Cheng!
Unwilling and firmly opposed to Yuan Gui using money to bribe his sister again.
Seeing that his kind words were unsuccessful, Yuan Gui threatened with evil words, saying: "I bought Sister Xia with silver, and she should return to my paradise. If you don't return Sister Xia to me, you should return the money I bought."
Sister Xia's silver. This is a matter of course. If you don't agree with both of these, you have no choice but to go to the lobby of the mansion to make a decision."
"Go to Futai, just go to Futai. Am I afraid of you?" Jiang Cheng shouted.
Seeing that Yuan Gui's request to buy back Sister Xia's son with money was blocked, he became angry and wrote a complaint directly to the government, demanding that Zhao's mother and son return Sister Xia's son.
The prefect Guan Zhe and Tongzhi Oujue accepted the case. After investigating and verifying the circumstances of Sister Xia's sale, they expressed deep sympathy.
"According to the Law of the Ming Dynasty: If you buy the children of a good family and resell them in the name of adopting a house, you will be punished with a penalty of one hundred rods and exiled for three thousand miles. I think you have not committed any other serious crimes, so I will only send Sister Xia
The son is sentenced to be returned to the Jiang family and will be taken home by the Zhao family. You are not allowed to ask for ransom from the Jiang family again!" Guan Zhe pronounced the sentence in court.
When Yuan Gui saw that he had lost the case, not only did he not get the ransom, but he also lost the money tree of Sister Xia. He was disappointed and furious. He refused to give up, so he used strong words and rude words, and cursed Zhao: "It was you who
He sold his biological daughter into a casino and now regrets it. He wants to take his daughter away without returning the money. He is really a shameless villain!"
Ms. Zhao remained silent.
Yuan Gui turned around and scolded Guan Zhe: "Guan Guan, your trial is unfair. I originally bought Sister Xia with money. Now, without giving me a penny, I let her go home in vain. This is too unfair."
That's fair. How much money did you charge the Jiang family?"
"Bold scoundrel, you buy and sell women from good families and force them into prostitution, which is a violation of the Ming Dynasty Laws. I did not sentence you to a hundred rods. Three thousand miles of exile is enough for you. How dare you roar in court today and insult me, right and left,
Fight with me again!" Yuan Gui said obscene words, which immediately angered Guan Zhe.
The officers on both sides were very angry when they saw that Yuan Gui had violated the king's law and had an arrogant attitude, so they beat him extremely hard with the fifty boards.
Yuan Guizhi was beaten until his skin and flesh were bruised and bloody. He fainted and was thrown out of the Yamen.
After Yuan Gui was brought home by his wife, he slowly opened his eyes for a long time. He saw that he had lost all his money and life, and was tortured with a cane. He was angry, angry and resentful, and his chest was so filled with anger that he could not calm down. He fell on the bed and refused to eat.
If he didn't drink, he would cry loudly all day long, and within a few days, he would die.
After Yuan Gui died, the Yuan family reported it to the governor. The governor sent Chen Yu and Kong Qi to the Yuan family for an autopsy. The autopsy concluded: "No abnormal circumstances of homicide were found, and the Yuan family was sentenced to bury it themselves."
In the Ming Dynasty, it was a common thing to beat people to death in the yamen. This case seemed to be over when it got here. However, no one could have imagined that this ordinary case would have unexpected consequences, causing a shocking wave.
.
"Yuan Gui was beaten to death by Futai!"
"What a God-given opportunity. This time I finally found a great opportunity to vent my anger on myself and my uncle Kong Mengqing!" Upon hearing that Yuan Gui was beaten to death by the government, Kong Mengqing's nephew Kong Dexing immediately gloated over the misfortune.
It turned out that Guan Zhe sentenced Sister Xia to the Zhao family without compensation, which ruined the good things of Kong Dexing and Sister Xia, so he began to bear a grudge against Guan Zhe.
So Kong Dexing went to his uncle Kong Mengqing and said, "Uncle, I tell you a great opportunity."
"What chance?"
"The opportunity to take revenge on the governor of Futai has come!"
"how do I say this?"
"Guan Zhe beat someone to death during the trial!"
"Oh? What's going on?"
"My nephew, I have a sweetheart named Sister Xia in the song and dance hall... I don't want to. Then Yuan Gui roared in the court, insulted Guan Zhe, and was beaten to death by Guan Zhe!"
"Okay! Guan Zhe. You are finally going to fall into my hands!" Kong Mengqing laughed wildly. Kong Mengqing was already dissatisfied with Guan Zhe, and with such a delicate relationship, Kong Mengqing decided to take action personally.
.Help his nephew Kong Dexing get Sister Xia back, and at the same time, take revenge on Guan Zhe of Futai.
After Kong Mengqing lowered his head and had a secret discussion with his nephew Kong Dexing, he called his most trusted lieutenant, Jia Xiaowei, to give such an explanation.
Guan Zhe, Ou Jue and other officials never expected that at this moment, a big net woven by Kong Mengqing, Kong Dexing and Jia Xiaowei was opening towards them...
Yuan Gui's wife was crying hard at home because her husband was beaten to death by the government, when she was suddenly hugged by Kong Dexing from behind.
"Who is taking advantage of the situation? Why don't you let go quickly!" She quickly wiped away her tears, stopped crying and said angrily.
"My little brother won't come for a few days, will you forget about me?"
Yuan Gui's wife was very surprised to see Kong Dexing suddenly appearing in her home at this time, and asked doubtfully: "God of Wealth, now that my husband has been beaten to death, your sweetheart Sister Xia has returned home, how can you
What else are you doing here? Don’t you think you have a crush on your sister-in-law?"
"What are you talking about! My sister-in-law and younger brother from the Yuan family have come to express their condolences to Brother Yuan. A few small gifts are not respectful."
"Thank you for remembering us."
"Brother Yuan was beaten to death by Guan Zhe, a doctor in the mansion. Do you want to take revenge?"
"I think about it, but how can I, a womanly woman, win over a doctor from a mansion?"
"Why can't you deal with him? However, the Dongchang run by my uncle can deal with him."
"Oh. If I can sue Guan Zhe, it can be regarded as avenging my husband who died. Then what should I do?"
"You go to Dongchang to complain, and Dongchang will naturally redress your grievances and punish Guan Zhe who beat your husband to death."
"How can I complain when I get to Dongchang?"
"First, you have to deny that Mrs. Zhang ever bought Sister Xia'er from her parents. Second, you say that Ms. Zhang from Lehu is Sister Xia's biological sister. In this way, Sister Xia is originally Lehu,
It is legal to resell Lehu. This is the key to overturning the case and punishing Guan Zhe. Third, you go to Mrs. Zhang and ask her to agree with your confession. Fourth, you say that your husband Yuan Gui bought it from Wu Yi
Come, Sister Xia."
When Yuan Gui's wife heard this, she suddenly realized: "Master Kong is really smart."
"However, you need to wait for my notice before going to Dongchang to complain. Because I need to talk to Sister Tongxia and the matchmaker Zhang Yun first to make them consistent with your confession. By then, I am not afraid that the case will not be overturned. No matter what
Zhe must pay with his life for Brother Yuan!"
"Thank you, Mr. Kong. I will go find Mrs. Zhang right away. You go find Sister Xia and matchmaker Zhang Yun. Afterwards, I will wait for your news at home."
After the two discussed it, they started to act separately.
Yuan Gui's wife went straight to Zhang's home in Lehu.
When Zhang saw Yuan Gui's wife, she was puzzled, "I wonder why my sister-in-law came to visit her?"
"You are about to be in trouble!"
"how do I say this?"
"Do you still remember Sister Xia's daughter that you bought from the matchmaker Zhang Yun? Sister Xia's mother, Zhao, filed a lawsuit with the government. My husband Yuan Gui was beaten to death! Aren't you afraid of being punished with a hundred sticks?
The punishment of being exiled for three thousand miles?"
"Oh, sister-in-law of the Yuan family, please stop scaring me. Tell me what to do now!"
"If someone from the Yamen comes to ask you for evidence, you must insist that you never bought Sister Xia from the Jiang family or the matchmaker Zhang Yun. You must insist that Sister Xia is your biological sister."
"But, what if Sister Xia doesn't admit it?"
