After hearing these words, the manager of the Chang family did not dare to be negligent and hurriedly lowered his head to go to court.
Miss Yang's reputation as a miracle doctor has spread throughout Beijing, and this time she is asking for a dowry from the Chang family. Thinking that a wealthy family like the Chang family would bully an orphan girl, the people came to watch the fun and see this case.
How will the verdict be decided? Will the parents and officials want to protect the gentry family, or will they give justice to Miss Yang?
As soon as the Shengtang drum was beaten, the surrounding area became quiet.
The magistrate of Daxing County slapped the gavel on the table and asked, "Who is kneeling down below?"
Yang Mo said: "Mr. Yang, a daughter of the common people."
The county magistrate nodded and stretched out his hand, "Ms. Yang, I think you are a weak woman. This county allows you to answer while standing."
Yang Mo thanked the county magistrate and stood up. The steward of the Chang family next to him couldn't help but look ugly when he saw it. Standing and kneeling like this seemed to have determined the fault of the Chang family.
"Who is kneeling below?" the county magistrate asked again.
The steward of the Chang family hurriedly whispered: "Steward of the Chang family."
There was a sneer on the face of the Daxing County Magistrate, "If you speak louder, you can't even be as good as a woman?"
The steward's face was ashamed when he was scolded, and the people watching the excitement outside also burst into laughter and scolding.
The Chang family was accused and simply called a steward. The steward had a guilty conscience on his face. It looked like he had really been greedy for other people's property and had no shame in staying here.
The steward of the Chang family looked at the litigator next to him. Unless the high-ranking officials in the capital had major cases, they would be litigated by litigants on their behalf, and the servants would hear the trial in the hall.
"Is it true that the Yang family accused the Chang family of embezzling the Yang family's property?" the Daxing County magistrate asked sternly.
"No, it's unfair," the litigant said hurriedly, "Where did the misappropriation come from? Mrs. Yang has always given it to Mrs. Chang for safekeeping."
Mr. Bai stood outside the fence and chuckled, causing the people next to him to laugh too. It was so ridiculous that he asked someone to file a petition with the government, but he even dared to say that he was keeping it for him.
If the woman was talking about this in private, she would still be able to ignore it, but now she is using such an excuse in the lobby.
How shameless must the Chang family be to make such a quibble?
Daxing County Magistrate said: "Then the Chang family admits that they are holding on to the Yang family's property?"
The lawyer said: "There may be a misunderstanding here. The property that I have helped take care of for several years must of course be inventoried before being handed over. There is no such thing as holding on to it."
The Prime Minister of Daxing County looked at the housekeeper below and said, "I would like to ask you whether the Chang family did not return the property in time when the Yang family requested it. The Yang family's petition has been submitted to the county for a long time, and whether the Chang family did not immediately submit the property list.
"
The manager of the Chang family had always handled the cases he encountered from top to bottom. At best, he was just going through the motions. His questions were prepared in advance. How could he seize on his words and ask questions directly? He didn't know how to answer them all at once.
Okay, "Yes...no...no..."
Daxing County Magistrate frowned and raised his voice, "Is it true or not?"
"Might... Wu..." Zaoli picked up the water and fire stick and struck him for a while.
The manager of the Chang family turned around and searched the lawyer's face, hoping to find the answer.
The lawyer also wanted to speak anxiously, but the Daxing County Magistrate ignored him.
"Come on, if the manager of the Chang family neglects me, I will punish you with twenty sticks, and I will try again." Daxing County Prime Minister said, taking out the fire stick and throwing it in the hall.
The steward of the Chang family panicked when he saw it, and immediately said: "The common people don't have it, the common people don't have it..."
Upon hearing the order, Zaoli changed his mind and immediately struck the Chang family steward with a water and fire stick. He rounded the stick and struck it with a series of blows. The Chang family steward suddenly wailed.
After Zaoli finished beating him, some people outside shouted: "Okay, Master Qingtian did a good job."
"Good... good break..."
The noisy voice drowned out the moans of the Chang family steward.
The Prime Minister of Daxing County has never been praised like this before, and he couldn't help but feel a little happy. Although the Chang family spent money, how could Mr. Chang be compared to Mr. Ge, the Prime Minister of Shuntian Prefecture? Who wouldn't want to please Shangfeng when he could?
, to shine in the county government, this is a matter of fame and fortune, a good opportunity that is rare in a century.
After being beaten with a stick, the Daxing County Magistrate said: "Let me ask you again, did the Yang family ask for the Yang family's property after leaving the Chang family?"
"Yes." The manager of the Chang family was weak.
The lawyer next to him hurriedly said: "No, no..."
The manager of the Chang family came to his senses and hurriedly changed his tune.
The Daxing County Magistrate asked one after another, "After Yang left the Chang family, did the Chang family not return the property list?" He looked at the audience and said, "Bring someone to prove it."
Everyone looked over and saw someone kneeling in the hall and said: "Caomin Chen Xing, his family has a shop on East Second Street. Miss Yang wants to rent a grassroots shop to open a medicine shop and signed a ten-year contract. The Yang family's elders said that the Yang family's property is there.
The Chang family kept it in their hands, and Cao Min went to the Chang family to ask for rent. Unexpectedly, the Chang family said that the Yang family's property in custody was only ten thousand taels, and they only gave Cao Min one year's rent..."
It was on that day that Yang Mo and Ji Ji moved out of the Chang family, and everyone in the capital knew about the incident.
The magistrate of Daxing County looked at the manager of the Chang family, "What else do you have to say?"
The litigator hurriedly said: "Sir, the Chang family is just afraid that the Yang family is too young to take over the property, so they are taking care of it..."
The Daxing County Magistrate seemed to hesitate for a moment, "So according to you, the Chang family is not guilty? Then the Yang family is guilty of false accusation?"
The litigator was startled and immediately said: "This... this... needs to be judged by the great master..."
The Prime Minister of Daxing County gave a slap in the face and said, "As long as you know, it is me who decides the case, not you. If it weren't for your fame, I would immediately punish you for disturbing the court."
If the county magistrate didn't buy his face, the litigator wouldn't be able to speak at all. He usually had some friendship with the gentlemen in the county government and had taken on so many cases. Today was the first time he was reprimanded like this. Thinking of this, the litigator didn't dare to speak anymore.
The master of this case has already made up his mind from the bottom of his heart, and there will be no second outcome even if he talks about it.
The Daxing County Magistrate picked up the Yang family's property list and looked at it clearly, then unfolded it and said, "These properties only have 10,000 taels of silver?"
There was even more noise outside the hall.
The steward of the Chang family raised his head and looked at Miss Yang. She was wearing green embroidered shoes, a goose-yellow palace skirt, and a determined expression on her face. She stood there with an aura that made people afraid to look directly at her.
Nothing like the orphan girl they usually talk about.
Why did this orphan girl who they thought would die quietly in the mansion soon become like this all of a sudden? Not only did she open a shop, but she actually sued the Chang family to the Yamen.
When they heard that Miss Yang was suing the Chang family, they thought that the orphan girl would definitely be taught a lesson. However, they did not expect that the lawsuit would actually give Miss Yang an advantage. The more the manager of the Chang family thought about it, the more frightened he became. He obviously wanted to see Yang.
It was a joke that the eldest daughter of the family was beaten to a pulp first, and then, what if the Chang family was really found guilty...
He still couldn't imagine that the Chang family had reached this stage all because of Miss Yang.
How could Miss Yang's shoulders be able to carry the Chang family?
The Prime Minister of Daxing County said: "According to the laws of Dazhou, anyone who attempts to misappropriate other people's property shall be fined less than twice the value of the property and more than the value." He handed the Yang family's property list to the master next to him, "But check the Yang family's property list.
How much money is the total amount of your property?”
The master said: "Zhuangzi and the fields are calculated together, which is about more than one million taels."
Daxing County Cheng Dao said: "The Chang family will be fined 1.2 million taels, and the Chang family is required to return all the property of the Yang family within three days. If they do not return it, they will be punished as embezzlement."
There is a fine for attempted embezzlement, and imprisonment for embezzlement.
There was an uproar below.
The Chang family's apology is a guilty plea. If they don't pay compensation, the case will continue to be tried. If there is another trial, the Chang family's face will really be lost. But the biggest problem here is that the fine is really quite large.
The old lady of the Chang family had already told her that the case could not be postponed, but the lawyer was stunned by such a large fine. The Daxing County Magistrate did not save any face for the Chang family. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at the County Magistrate, with the orphan girl on his side.
On one side were the court officials. To a discerning eye, it seemed like a very simple lawsuit, but why did it change its appearance?
The Daxing County Magistrate looked at the master and said, "Bring the confession to the Chang family for a pledge."
The manager of the Chang family read the confession again and refused to press his fingerprints. Zaoli next to him very considerately helped to grab his hand and press it.
The Daxing County Magistrate read the confession once, nodded with satisfaction, patted the scaffolding and said, "Retreat."
Yang Mo stepped forward to salute the Daxing County Magistrate. The case was decided too quickly. During the trial, only witnesses and physical evidence were mentioned, and she was not even allowed to speak.
Yang Mo walked out of the lobby and heard a whisper: "Miss Yang, congratulations, your family's belongings are coming back."
"It's not easy for Miss Yang."
"Good man rewarded."
Yang Mo looked around with a smile, asking for the Yang family's belongings back, so she wouldn't have to live a life of poverty and could build more medical tools.
This day finally came to her.
Yang Mo got on the carriage, and it took her a while to come back to her senses.
…
The servants of the Chang family stumbled back to the Chang family with the results of the court trial.
"What? How much do you want us to pay?" Mr. Chang stood up suddenly.
"It's said to be 1.2 million taels."
Mr. Chang took a few steps forward but slipped and hit the chair next to him. The pain was so painful that stars appeared in front of his eyes.
This was already the worst result. Not only was they sentenced for attempted embezzlement, but they were also compensated with so much money. Mr. Chang was about to shed tears. "I don't accept it. Daxing County Magistrate dares to do this. Where does he have the courage?" he said.
He stretched out his hand and told his servants, "Go to Qiao Mansion and ask about the situation and why it is like this." Not only did he take out the Yang family's silver, but he also had to pay more than one million taels.
Mrs. Chang Da said: "Didn't we agree that the verdict would not be handed down today?" Yesterday, we sent some money to settle the matter, and the county magistrate had promised to examine the evidence carefully and decide on another day. How come the case was concluded so quickly?
The room was quiet, and everyone looked at Mrs. Chang who was in the high position.
Mrs. Chang lost a lot of weight and seemed a little lackluster. "Mr. Yang saved Shuntian Prefecture Yin's wife and children. How do you think this case will be solved?"
Master Chang threw the tea bowl in his hand to the ground, "We can't let it go like this, damn Yang, I want her to pay for this debt with her life."
