The man said: "It's absolutely true! All you need to do is send someone to Qiu's house immediately, and you'll find out after a quick search!"
After finishing his words, before Magistrate Ye could speak, Kong Bokang jumped out first, "Sir! This is slander!"
"Then Hu Xuan kidnapped my daughter. If I saw him, I would definitely put him in jail and punish him immediately. How could I harbor him?!"
Magistrate Ye: I’m sitting here just fine, and it’s your turn as a little ambassador to give orders?
It is enough to imagine how arrogant the Kong family is, and they do not take him as the prefect seriously.
Magistrate Ye's eyes darkened slightly, "Let's ask Qiu Peng about this. I am also curious, Qiu Peng, why are you harboring the thief?"
Qiu Peng didn't even raise his head and said quickly: "My lord, you are wronged! How dare a commoner harbor the leader of a thief? If a commoner sees this leader of a thief, it will be easy for him not to cut him into pieces on the spot. What will he do?
Just hide him?"
This is true, considering Qiu Peng's character, this is very strange.
When the people outside saw the battle, and the people who trotted back in advance to inform the Qiu family about the situation there, many people asked to go to court to report the Kong family and Qiu Peng.
Xu Yinyin, who was far away in Qingyunfang, heard the commotion outside and asked Xixin to inquire. She found out that in addition to their family suing Qiu Peng, there were also people suing the Kong family and Qiu Peng. The charges were serious.
What's more, what's more, Qiu Peng actually harbors the leader of the thief?
Kong Bokang wanted to quibble, but the evidence was conclusive and he had no way to quibble. He couldn't help but look in the direction of the back hall.
At this time, Magistrate Ye in the court was also very curious. He felt a big hand pushing from behind.
To convict the Kong family and Qiu Peng, we have to look at the Zhu family case.
After pushing him to this point, if he still can't get into Taoism, then his job as a prefect will be in vain.
After thinking about this, Xu Yinyin felt that something was wrong.
It would take some time to search the Qiu family. At this time, Magistrate Ye decided to first try the Zhu family's case against the Kong family and Qiu Peng.
Not only the entire yamen was aware of such a huge movement, but also the entire city, everyone was alarmed.
Zhu Lianshan was obviously well prepared. A series of evidences and witnesses who came from unknown sources came to the fore one after another, proving conclusively that Kong Bokang and the Qiu family, together with his brother Qiu Peng, occupied thousands of acres of the Zhu family's land and committed murder, destruction of evidence and other heinous crimes.
act.
Capt. Xing received the order, and no one could stop him this time. He led his men to move quickly, running forward, and headed straight for Qiu's house.
Someone is targeting the Kong family, trying to kill them as soon as they take action, without leaving any room for them?
Who is it?
Xu Yinyin was very curious and simply asked Xixin to go directly to the Yamen to listen to the excitement.
What a coincidence, so coincidental that one has to suspect that this was a trick waiting for the Kong family and Qiu Peng early in the morning!
Magistrate Ye was shocked and said loudly: "The evidence for Zhu Lianshan's lawsuit against the Kong family and Qiu Peng is conclusive! Kong Bokang, Qiu Peng, do you have any other excuses?!"
All of a sudden, the court hall was filled with people kneeling on their knees, so many people could no longer squeeze in.
If the fifty-fifty board goes down, how can you still have the strength to argue?
Magistrate Ye raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh? When did Qiu Peng donate a member of staff to do it? Why haven't I heard of it? Why didn't Ambassador Kong tell his colleagues about such a big thing and ask his colleagues to congratulate it?"
At the right time, Capt. Xing, who led the search at Qiu's house, also came back with Hu Xuan, the leader of the thief, in custody.
After Captain Xing got the order, he immediately took people to the Qiu family. This was the first time in his life that he had to search the Qiu family! He was a little excited just thinking about it.
Immediately he said: "No, no, where, where."
I couldn't help but feel ashamed and annoyed. I'm just a farm man who luckily excelled in studying and won the Jinshi. What's so good about him?
Do you dare to mock him openly and secretly here?
His brother's father-in-law is the elder of the court!
As long as he wants to let Ye Tiaoyuan go to any rural area and stay there until he dies of old age, it's all a matter of one sentence!
Magistrate Ye suddenly chuckled, "I don't know that the relatives of court officials can also be counted as court officials."
Magistrate Ye glanced at the man, immediately threw the token and said: "Then it doesn't hurt to search."
He only thought that he came to the Yamen to deal with the affairs of the Xu family and the Zhu family. Who would have thought that someone would suddenly come out to report him for harboring the thief?
I didn't expect that Magistrate Ye would be so tough today and would actually break up with the Kong family?
Magistrate Ye unfolded it and swept it quickly, and immediately raised his eyebrows. There was a moment of confusion in his expression, and then in an instant, he seemed to have great confidence.
Kong Bokang saw that Magistrate Ye's face turned slightly ugly for a moment, and immediately he couldn't help but feel proud.
Kong Bokang said hurriedly: "What Xiaguan means is that in Yiyang Fucheng, who doesn't know that Qiu Peng is Xiaguan's brother-in-law? To slander Qiu Peng is to slander Xiaguan, and to search the Qiu family is to attack the imperial official.
His face! Isn’t this a blatant provocation to the imperial officials?”
If not, the verdict can be pronounced.
Kong Bokang was caught off guard. From the initial disapproval of his arrogant sophistry to the cold sweat on his head, his expression was really wonderful.
Magistrate Ye chuckled, "No? Then how can he be an official of the imperial court? Ambassador Kong knows that pretending to be an official of the imperial court is a capital offense!"
"Sir, do you really want to send someone to search the Qiu family without any explanation?"
But Kong Bokang on the side immediately jumped out, first stopped him forcefully, and then said loudly: "This is someone openly provoking the imperial officials! If your Excellency really ordered people to search the Qiu family, it would be like that person with evil intentions.
It’s what people want! Sir, you must not do it!”
Kong Bokang: ...if Magistrate Ye hadn't looked so sincere, he would have thought he was mocking.
None of the common people applauded, but the brave ones just followed behind and immediately joined in the fun.
Living up to his expectations, a small follower trotted in and whispered to Magistrate Ye.
However, these oddities are not as big as the Zhu family's case, which involved a total of thirty-eight lives.
Kong Bokang looked directly at Magistrate Ye, with a threat in his eyes that others could not understand.
He could tell now that Magistrate Ye was really mocking him!
Magistrate Ye also asked Master to record everything in the record, and then he will compensate these victims according to the law.
Humph! You dare to sentence me? If you really dare to sentence me, you will be the prefect for the rest of your life!
But he didn't see that while Xiao Sui whispered, he handed Magistrate Ye a note.
That scene is truly rare and can be called a spectacle!
Magistrate Ye slightly curled his fingers and tapped the case twice, with a firm expression on his face, "Search!"
Kong Bokang:……
Kong Bokang's face darkened instantly, and Qiu Peng, who was kneeling beside him, couldn't help but feel slightly worried.
"According to my official, this person who came out of nowhere to slander the imperial officials should be arrested first and slapped with fifty bullets before it is too late to tell them apart!"
If I had known earlier, if I had known earlier, I should have killed Hu Xuan and destroyed his body and traces!
As soon as Magistrate Ye came out with his token, he threw it out without hesitation.
"This government pronounces the verdict!"
"Kong Bokang and his wife, together with Qiu Peng, seized the Zhu family's property, brutally murdered thirty-eight members of the Zhu family, and set up a private court to imprison Zhu Lianshan. The evidence is conclusive! He was thrown into prison and executed at a later date!"
"Qiu Peng harbored a thief, raped a good woman, destroyed other people's homes, and committed many crimes. The more serious the crime, the more serious the crime will be. He will be sentenced to death immediately! He will be taken to Caishikou for execution immediately!"
