Chapter 212 Chapter two hundred twelve : One link after another
Chapter 212 Chapter 212: One link after another
Old man Xu then explained the cause and effect.
Xu Chunshan added passionately from the side.
Yesterday, Xu Ji's shop in Yangliu Lane was smashed. The news alarmed many people. Even though many people didn't know about it after one night, they all knew about it after the Xu family reported it.
Knowing that the Xu family dared to take Qiu Peng to court, more and more people rushed to tell each other and called friends to go to the government office to watch the excitement.
The people who came later couldn't help but ask the people who came earlier when they didn't hear the cause. The things were passed around outside the court, which was a lively event.
"It sounds like this girl from the Xu family is also innocent!"
"That's right! Who knew that the thieves wanted to kidnap people with lanterns? And didn't the girl of the Kong family have to force herself to take the lanterns? If she didn't force it, how could such a thing happen? Turn this matter over to
The Xu family girl was really wronged!"
"I heard that the Kong girl is domineering, cunning and mean! Which shop in the city she often goes to has never been scolded by her? I heard that there will always be a scene in any shop she goes to.
Trouble, many shopkeepers, people praying to God and praying to God wish she didn’t come from their own shop!”
"I also heard that! That night, both the Kong family girl and the Xu family girl were kidnapped. The Xu family reported it to the government, but the people from the government were sent by the Kong family to find the Kong family girl.
, there is no one available to take over the case of the Xu family, or the Xu family asked friends to help find someone! I heard that they even gave people money afterward! Unlike the Kong family, when they find someone, they still have to pay for it.
I’m getting scolded!”
But then I thought again, if the Kong family is so powerful, can Magistrate Ye really punish him?
Someone quickly interrupted his words and said, "The Xu family is also unlucky. Offending such a family and having their shop smashed is nothing serious. Fortunately, everyone is fine."
Watching the battle, Magistrate Ye seemed to have some idea in his heart. His acumen as an official allowed him to announce the person in without hesitation.
Some people remember what happened a few years ago and can't help but talk a lot.
Zhu Lianshan went to the court, kowtowed to Magistrate Ye first, and then shouted loudly: "Zhu Lianshan, a common man, is from Zhujiazhuang outside the city. Now he wants to sue the Kong family and Qiu Peng!
I'm suing the Kong family for invading my property! They allowed their servants to injure my eldest brother, causing him to be half-disabled!
The people were shocked.
If the Kong family does not collapse, their family will be in dire straits!
He couldn't help but secretly encourage Zhu Lianshan, a stranger to him, and asked God to bless Zhu Lianshan to win the lawsuit!
Old Man Xu and Xu Chunshan looked at each other and had a deeper understanding of the brutality and power of the Kong family and Qiu Peng.
"Is it any wonder that a few years ago a person named Zhu sued the Kong family but nothing happened because the person who made the complaint was imprisoned?"
"Please be careful, sir, and give justice to the Zhu family!"
When this matter was mentioned, many people remembered that this man's surname was Zhu. He seemed to have come to the government office to sue the Kong family a few years ago, but the prefect at that time did not accept the case.
Sue the Kong family!
But will the prefect now accept the case?
Not long after, Kong Bokang, who was wearing an official uniform, came first. He gave Magistrate Ye the salute of a subordinate meeting his superior, and said with a puzzled and innocent face: "I don't know what you are calling me to do?"
Second, in order to cover up the crime, the Kong family killed people and silenced them, and asked Qiu Peng to secretly set fire to them, killing thirty-eight members of my Zhu family alive!
"Please be careful, sir, and give justice to the Zhu family!"
This loud shout immediately attracted everyone's attention, and the people made way for this man to push his way to the front.
The crowd was excited and began to denounce Zhu Lianshan.
"..."
Please be aware of this and redress the grievances of the grassroots family! Give justice to the grassroots family!"
Magistrate Ye raised his eyes and saw that this man was wearing a gray shirt. There seemed to be nothing unusual about him, but he keenly felt a trace of military spirit from him.
Zhu Lianshan directly beat the drum and asked to go to court.
"Occupying other people's property, setting fires and killing more than thirty people! This is more cruel than bandits!"
The two government officials got the order and went quickly.
The more they talked about it, the more people came forward to talk about the Kong family's occupation of his family's property.
"A few years ago, I heard someone say that there was a village outside the city where a landlord's house ran into water and the whole family was burned to death. It turned out to be the Zhu family! It turned out that there was such a hidden secret! I thought it was
There was an accidental water leak!"
The so-called law does not punish everyone. If one person says it, it can be controlled. But if a hundred people say it or a thousand people say it, how can it be suppressed for a short while?
So someone started talking, and everyone talked more energetically.
At this moment, someone outside the court loudly shouted: "Sir! I have an important case to report!"
Magistrate Ye slapped the alarm and suppressed the noise outside the court, and then ordered the government officials to go to the Kong family and Qiu family to summon Kong Bokang and Qiu Peng to come to court to inquire about the case!
As soon as these words came out, the people held their hearts tightly, hoping that it would be done for real and not just a formality.
After that, nothing happened about it, and nothing was heard about it again.
Old man Xu's lips trembled, "Mother, this accusation today is not a casual accusation."
The Xu family's lawsuit is related to the Kong family, and Zhu Lianshan is also suing the Kong family. There is no problem in trying the two cases together.
These words stirred up a thousand waves, and the people started talking in a hurry, and the entrance of the court was as lively as a big market.
Zhu Lianshan's every word was cadenced and his voice was loud. Each sentence hit hard into the hearts of everyone present.
The scholar came up again, "Is it possible that the Kong family is still the emperor of this place? Can they easily decide the life and death of the people?"
Some people who had been persecuted by Qiu Peng seemed to have found an organization and told with tears in their eyes the persecution of their families by Qiu Peng.
As soon as he finished speaking, Qiu Peng arrived soon after, kowtowed to Magistrate Ye, and knelt down obediently. He looked so uninformed that you really couldn't tell who he was.
At this moment, they suddenly saw this man standing up. Everyone looked at the scars on his face and couldn't help but ask him curiously.
"The Kong family is really so arrogant! Do you really think that Yiyang Mansion's surname is Kong?" Some literati were indignant and did not seem to be afraid of offending the Kong family in their words.
Three people sued Confucius and set up a court. In order to prevent the common people from going to the city to complain, Qiu Peng locked up the common people and tortured them for several months!
"But with today's announcement, something must be going on if you are fine!"
"If this is true, then the Kong family and Qiu Peng are really heinous!"
What happened today, when I think about it carefully, seems to be connected to each other, and some things seem to be beyond his control at all.
In addition, Kong Bokang and Qiu Peng, the uncles, looked as if they were sure that nothing would happen to him and they were just here to go through the motions. Magistrate Ye did not hesitate and signaled to the government officials to let this man in.
This man went to the hall, knelt down and said: "The common people want to expose Qiu Peng for harboring a wanted criminal!"
Magistrate Ye:!?
Qiu Peng was keen and quickly raised his head to take a look at this person. When he realized that he didn't recognize him, he quickly lowered his head again.
But then I heard this man say: "There were notices posted all over the streets a few days ago, saying that the thief Hu Xuan to be apprehended is hiding in Qiu's house!"
