Chapter 147: Do things to the best of your ability!
"Fight! Beat to death!"
Wu Qian's face was ashen and he ordered the servants to take action. [] Those people came down with sticks and beat him until Yang Chong screamed in agony. At first, he struggled, but later he received several blows on the head, his hairpins were scattered, and his face was covered with blood.
Even the struggle and cry for help were weak.
Wu Feiyi was so embarrassed that her father suddenly broke in with her family and saw her scandalous act. However, seeing that her lover was in danger, she no longer cared about her daughter's shyness and stepped forward to stop her. Wu Qian became even more angry when he saw her.
, shouted: "Drag this unscrupulous woman away and escort her back to her room."
Wu Feiyi cried and shouted, but was not as strong as his servant, so he was dragged away by them. Seeing Yang Chong lying on the ground, covered in blood, Wu Qian's servant grabbed a big stick and hit him on the head hard.
After being struck three times with the stick, he fell down and fell to the ground next to him.
"Master, Master, even though Fei Yi has done something scandalous, she is our daughter after all. How could you do it so brilliantly? This has made everyone famous. How do you want your daughter to behave and get married in the future?"
After hearing the news, Mrs. Wu rushed over and saw that Yang Chong had been beaten to death, lying on the ground with disheveled hair, and his clothes were as shapeless as a ghost. She quickly drove away all the servants and cried bitterly to her husband.
"Do you think I do? Do you think I don't want to preserve my daughter's innocence and solve this matter in a more appropriate way?"
Wu Jijiu beat his chest and said: "My family is unfortunate, my family is unfortunate, I can't do anything about it. Do you think... do you think I was kept in the dark by that unscrupulous woman, how did I know about this? I can't hide it, already
I can't hide it any more! If I don't kill this little thief and talk about my daughter's reputation, my whole life's reputation and my family tradition of Wu family will be ruined in one day. I am the son of the country who offers wine, teaches and educates people, and educates people.
I want to clear up my doubts, but my own student did such a scandalous thing with his own daughter, corrupting the famous religion... My ancestors of the Wu family will all be ashamed!"
Mrs. Wu was stunned for a moment and cried feebly: "What evil have I done? What evil have I done..."
Early the next morning, Wu Qian, the Imperial Concubine, submitted a memorial to the imperial court to resign and return home. He also excused himself from going to work in the Imperial College that day because of illness. However, the news spread as quickly as possible, and the first person to know the news was the Imperial College.
This incident immediately put them into embarrassment. The person they carried the banner of Mingjiao and tried their best to protect actually corrupted Mingjiao and did such an ugly thing. How could they feel embarrassed?
The Wu family lynched Yang Chong to death, and reported the case to Yingtian Mansion that night. First, two patrolmen came, inspected the scene, recorded the situation, carried the body back to Tianfu, and reported it to Wang Hongrui early the next morning. The Prince's Mansion
Yin made a quick judgment, following ancient rules: "You deserve to die!"
Ever since Qin Shihuang's "Kuaiji Stone Carvings" clearly stipulates: "If the husband is a servant, killing is not guilty." This rule has been adopted by the Li Dynasty. If the Wu family only reports to the official, according to the custom, Yang Chong and Wu will be punished.
Feiyi beat him twenty times, fined him with hard labor, and then he would go along with the situation and ask them to get married. Yang Chong was not an official, and the crime of adultery was extremely serious for officials, but he was relatively tolerant of the people. It's just that Yang Chong was not an official.
In that case, not only Wu Feiyi's innocence would be damaged, but the entire Wu family's reputation would be ruined.
Although the government stipulates that if officials and common people commit the crime of adultery, the consequences of punishment are different, but if a lynching is carried out, the person who is killed will be treated the same regardless of whether he is an official or a citizen: "Death is in vain."
"Wang Hongrui and Wu Qi'an are old friends. Knowing that Wu Qi'an did this to save his daughter and preserve the reputation of the Wu family, he must have been very sad. After handling official matters, he was about to change into casual clothes to visit him, but he had just taken off half of his official uniform.
The grievance drum at the yamen door began to sound "boom, boom, boom".
Wang Fuyin hurriedly put on his robe and hat and went up to the hall again. A commoner in short brown clothes was brought in. Although he tried his best to act like an honest and good citizen, his flexible and cunning eyes could not be compared with Wang Fuyin's.
From experience, I always felt that he was an idle country scoundrel. Wang Fuyin was a little curious, wondering what big case he had, and dared to come to Yingtianfu Yamen to complain. When the complaint was handed over, Wang Fuyin couldn't help but be shocked.
This man was not amazing in appearance, and the case he was suing was not small. No wonder he was from Jiangning County, but he crossed Jiangning County and sued Yingtian Mansion directly. He was suing for the serious crime of trespassing. When he saw the person he sued, Wang Hongrui immediately realized that yesterday
The adultery case that happened in the house of my old friend Wu Qiwen last night was not an accidental independent case. I'm afraid...
Just when I thought of this, someone beat the drum and complained again. I brought him in and asked, and it was Yang Rong who was accusing him again. This person was a small grain official in Moling Town. He was accusing Yang Rong, the grain chief, of embezzling public grains by paying in vain.
Wang Hongrui suddenly understood everything: That Yang Xu started to fight back!
"A dog that bites doesn't bark."
This is what Yinwang Hongrui of Yingtian Prefecture said.
"Being low-key does not mean being imbecile. Only when you have the ability to be high-profile at any time can you be called low-key."
This is what Luo Kedi, the commander of Jinyiweidu, said.
In order to win over Xia Xun, Luo Kedi gave him hands and let him do what he wanted, but in fact, An An was also observing him. He knew everything Xiao Qianyue did under Xia Xun's order. If Xia Xun only wanted to do it for a while,
Even if he did something reckless, he still had to grasp the overall situation, but after understanding all of Xia Xun's plans, Luo Qianshi laughed three times and let go completely.
Yang Chong died. He was beaten to death by the family members of the woman's father, Wu Qi'anwu, who was responsible for the wine ceremony.
The news had just reached Moling Town, and the Yang clan had not yet woken up from the shock. A large number of horse and foot troops rushed into Moling Town: Yang Rong, Yang Dingsheng and his son were arrested, and all prohibited items were confiscated and brought to the court for prosecution.
As physical evidence; three generations of Yang Yi, Yang Dingxing and Yang Yu were arrested and all prohibited items were confiscated;
Yang Wu, who was single and extremely poor, suddenly discovered that there was an extra stone in the broken water bubble in his backyard. Three big stones stood in the water. If it were night, it would smell like three springs reflecting the moon. One
Chi Sanshan, the system of the emperor. Yang Wu, who "dreams to be an emperor", violated the most serious taboo of the emperor's family and was taken away. As for the "three mountains", they were too heavy after all, so they only drew pictures, not the original
Take things away.
A large group of officials, pulling several carts of evidence and tying up a group of prisoners, had just left Moling Town. Yingtian Mansion and Jiangning County came together with a second group of people to arrest Yang Rong, who had just been searched.
The house was searched again, especially the study room and the accounting room, and everything with writing on them was confiscated. It was said that Chief Yang Liang had embezzled public grain.
Yang Lao is Yang Rong's brother. He is an elder in the Yang family second only to Yang Rong. Yang Rong's incident frightened Yang Lao out of his wits. When he got home, he quickly burned the account books and recorded all the records.
Burning. His daughter-in-law was illiterate and heard from her father-in-law that everything with characters should be burned, otherwise disaster would ensue. She was so frightened that she tore off the New Year pictures and the Stove Lord and stuffed them into the stove. Her son wore a long life on his neck.
She also broke the lock and threw it into the pit.
No one paid attention to these ridiculous things she did. The whole Yang family was busy, and smoke was everywhere, making the whole family look like little devils. After Yang Lao finished these things, he ran into the inner flower hall with lingering fears
After sitting down, he began to worry that his eldest brother Yang Rong would not be able to survive the torture and would call him out. He was lying on the Arhat bed, secretly worried, when he suddenly saw the gold-painted paintings on the shed and couldn't help but jump up.
Fortunately, although he came from a wealthy family, he often worked as a farmer and had a strong body. This jump was really neat, even his son was ashamed of himself.
"Oops, Oops, why did you forget about this? Come on, come on, tear down all the walls of the shed. Those gold paintings are trespassing. Build a ladder, build a ladder, and use axes and chisels. Hurry up.
Come on, bring it here. What? You idiot, you can even use a hoe. Come on, dig it!"
"Where else? Where else?"
Old Yang Lao was wandering around the house when he suddenly saw the carved blue bricks on the wall next to the flower hall. He screamed like a butchered pig: "There's another here, there's another here, hurry up, tear down this wall too!"
Yang Lao was worried and was about to conduct a major inspection of every plant, tree and brick in the family. Yang Xu took Xiao Qianyue and entered the house with great pride.
"You...what are you here for?"
Yang Lao asked sternly, standing in front of the flower hall and not daring to let him in.
Yang Xu smiled and said: "I have never done anything wrong in my life, and I am not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door in the middle of the night. The old man is like guarding against thieves, but has he done anything wrong?"
"Fart! What harm can I do? Drive him out, son! Come on, drive them out."
Xiao Qianyue snorted coldly, pushed him away, and broke into the flower hall. In the flower hall, she saw the Yang family who were so busy demolishing sheds and smashing walls.
He broke in and couldn't help but be stunned.
Xiao Qianyue pinched her nose and looked around, sneered, and walked out of the flower hall. The Yang family looked at each other, wondering whether they should continue to smash it.
In the yard, Xia Xun took out a pile of things from his arms, randomly picked out two pieces, and handed them to Yang Lao's hand.
Yang Lao took it and his face suddenly turned as pale as paper.
Xia Xun said: "These are the grain requisition notes signed by the old man himself. They are all here with me. If your old brother bites you, the government will not convict you without these evidences. If I send these notes to the Yamen
Here, even if Yang Rong doesn't bite you, even if you take away your own account books..."
Xia Xun sniffed the smell of fireworks in the air and continued: "It's all burned. After Yang Rong's incident happened, the government conducted a thorough investigation, and you are also finished. The Ministry of Revenue and Jiangning County have stubs, and the two sides can't keep up.
..., Hehe, the old man is a sensible person..."
Yang Lao said in a trembling voice: "You..., what do you want to do to me?"
Xia Xun said: "If I hadn't intended to protect him, and people from Yingtian Mansion had just arrived, they would have arrested the old man, his son, and his grandparents. Do you think I am kind to you, or am I malicious?"
Yang Lao didn't answer, but stared at Xia Xun closely, trying to understand his true purpose.
Xia Xun smiled and said: "Well, I really can't say that I am kind to you, but I extracted all the evidence of your crime and let your old brother carry it alone. I can't treat you...
It’s not malicious, right? I just… want to do a business with you!”
