Liu Jiang inadvertently glanced at Hua Rujin, who was concentrating on thinking in the courtroom, and curled his lips in dissatisfaction: "I know no one except you cares about this nosy matter."
Without waiting for anyone to react, Ye Chengguan uttered one word coldly: "Hit."
Tang Haoran took over the words angrily: "Drag her out and beat her hard."
"why is that."
Liu Jiang was confident and argued vigorously: "My lords, what did the common people do?"
Turning his head to look at Zhou's mother and son, he immediately understood and hurriedly explained:
"Oh, sir, it's because of my stepmother. That's no wonder. The grassroots have already said it before. Now my father-in-law has appointed me to take charge of the family business. If their mother and son follow the family rules, the grassroots will treat them well.
But this mother and son actually contradicted the inspection department for the list of sacrifices designated by the government. This will put the entire Weng family to death. How can the common people just sit idly by and ignore them, and can only ruthlessly kick them out."
"You're talking nonsense."
Weng Xian was so angry that he wiped his nose and cursed: "You were obviously the one who got in the way and deliberately let the people from the Inspection Department come to the house to arrest my cousin."
"Hey, you little brat, you dare to contradict me."
Liu Jiang was so angry that he simply said bluntly: "What decision should I make as the head of the family, and it's your turn for me, a little brat, to point my fingers at me?"
"presumptuous."
Tang Haoran angrily rebuked: "Liu Jiang, how dare you, a son-in-law of yours, utter such arrogant words and take charge of a family business?"
"It's absolutely true, as evidenced by my father-in-law's suicide note."
Liu Jiang immediately took out the suicide note from his arms and held it in his hand.
Looking at the familiar handwriting and his proud face, Hua Rujin immediately remembered the suicide note she had written for Weng Yuanwai a few days ago.
I never thought that this guy would be harmful to the orphans and widows he left behind after his death, as Lao Wenwai feared.
"Sir, Weng Yuanwai did leave a suicide note, and this suicide note was written by me on behalf of Weng Yuanwai."
Hua Rujin replied truthfully.
"Look, look, even Miss Hua can testify for me."
Liu Jiang smiled brightly and was about to put away the suicide note when Hua Rujin suddenly changed the topic: "However, Weng Yuanwai did not say that his son-in-law would inherit the family business, but left it to his only youngest son, Weng Xian."
"You're talking nonsense."
Liu Jiang cursed loudly: "Miss Hua, I have no enmity with you. Why did you fabricate facts out of thin air to harm me? I was beside my father-in-law before he died, and he personally said that I would inherit the family business."
Hua Rujin also said angrily: "Since you don't believe it, just show the suicide note to a few adults."
Liu Jiang pouted arrogantly, and then presented the suicide note to Ye Chengguan.
Ye Chengguan opened the suicide note and just glanced at it casually. When he learned that it was written by Hua Rujin, he already knew it and handed it to Tang Haoran for confirmation.
Tang Haoran only took a brief look and shook his head with disdain: "Mr. Weng clearly left the inheritance to his son. How can you, a son-in-law, snatch it away? Are you illiterate or blind? How dare you talk nonsense here?
language."
When Liu Jiang heard this, he became even more unconvinced: "The suicide note clearly stated that the successor was the son-in-law. Why did you deceive the ordinary people?"
"Bastard, do you think we are stupid, or do you think that a member of the royal family is stupid? If he doesn't pass on his own family property to his biological son, he will pass it on to you as a domineering and disrespectful son-in-law?"
In half my life, I have never heard of such a weird thing.
Tang Haoran held the suicide note and read it carefully word by word: "The will clearly states that Weng gave birth to a son and a daughter. The son's name is Xian, and the daughter's husband-in-law Liu Jiang. I am deeply afraid that Sangyu's situation will be precarious.
I have made this will so that after my death, all my property will be inherited by my son-in-law and outsiders, and no dispute will arise."
When Hua Rujin originally wrote her suicide note, she deliberately omitted the punctuation mark between the two words "son-in-law" and left something mysterious. Although it seemed that the son-in-law would inherit the family business, in this era, people who did not pay attention to the son-in-law
, who would believe it, so it would be natural to understand the sentence as "The one who inherits is the son, and the son-in-law and outsiders are not allowed to argue."
When Liu Jiang heard that Tang Haoran deliberately made a long pause between his son-in-law, he suddenly panicked: "Sir, how could my father-in-law pass the family property to others? Please read it carefully."
Tang Haoran was already impatient. He shook his arms anxiously and shouted: "The person who inherits is the son, and the son-in-law and the outsider are not allowed to argue. You want me to read it a few times. You are a soft-fed fool. You have been pampered by the Weng family."
You must have developed a bad habit. Now you still want to take advantage of other people's property and harm your widow and children. It is simply audacious."
Hua Rujin also took advantage of the situation and said: "Your Excellency, County Magistrate, this Liu Jiangyang went against the will and secretly raised an outhouse without telling the Weng family. He was so angry that he killed the eldest daughter of the Weng family and the unborn child. Weng Yuan had already noticed it, so how could he do it?
I will pass the family property to this person."
"You're talking nonsense."
Just as Liu Jiang was about to argue, Weng Xian immediately said: "On the day my father passed away, he brought the little boy named Axiang into his house. Unfortunately, my father and sister searched for several years but could not find them. Now,
But he brought the person home openly and entrusted him to the government."
"Okay, you piece of shit, you don't do your duty to marry into someone else's house, how dare you secretly raise an outhouse."
Tang Haoran faced Ye Chengguan angrily: "Sir, these scoundrels must be severely punished in order not to damage their education."
Ye Chengguan slowly sat back at the desk and sneered: "Liu Jiang, what else do you have to say?"
Liu Jiang immediately realized that it was this woman from the Hua family who helped Zhou plot against him.
He pointed at Hua Rujin angrily and cursed: "It's you, you deliberately asked my father-in-law to write this suicide note to attract Axiang, right?"
Shu Jinxuan was furious at this time. When he saw him pointing at his cousin, he kicked Liu Jiang to the ground with a furious kick: "You have done something disrespectful, you don't want to repent, and you dare to question my cousin."
He has obviously persuaded his cousin to ignore the sacrifice, but now that this bitch has handed over the Cheng family girl to the inspection department, he is afraid that it will be difficult for his cousin to just sit idly by and ignore her.
He wanted to kill this guy with a thousand knives.
At the moment, Ye Chengguan had no intention of arguing with a reckless son-in-law. He said coldly: "If you drag him down, he will be put in jail for five years."
"Ah, sir, the common people have been wronged."
Liu Jiang was so frightened that he collapsed and was dragged out by force.
Tang Haoran finally breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at the darkened door and saw that it had already calmed down. He was glad that he could finally order his meal.
Returning the suicide note to Mr. Zhou, he warned in a deep voice: "Now that the magistrate has sought justice for you mother and son, you should go back early."
Mrs. Zhou hesitantly took the suicide note, but did not want to leave. She looked at Hua Rujin anxiously.
"Why, do you have anything else to do?"
Tang Haoran guessed that the mother and son were thinking about the little girl from the Cheng family, but they didn't want to pay attention to her anymore.
"Thank you, my lords."
Hua Rujin thanked several people and hurriedly helped Zhou to go out.
When he arrived at the county government office, he told Mrs. Zhou: "I will find a solution for Nini's matter. Madam Zhou, please go back to the house with the young master first."
Mrs. Zhou knelt down with tears in her eyes: "Miss Hua, I really have no choice. My late husband has only been away for a few days. What he has been worried about the most in these years is Ni Ni's family. If Ni Ni has any shortcomings, I will be shameless in the future."
Go see him."
Hua Rujin was very touched by her words.
It can be considered that he did not misjudge the person at the beginning, and he can finally feel relieved when he leaves Ni Ni to her.
"I know you're worried about Nini, and I don't want anything to happen to her."
Hua Rujin half-squinted her eyes, pondered for a moment, and then said: "I will go and ask the magistrate when he leaves."
After comforting Zhou's mother and son, and watching them get on the carriage and leave, Hua Rujin began to think about how to rescue Nini.
At the teahouse near the county government office, He Shiyin looked at the crowd that was gradually dispersing, her face becoming extremely embarrassed.
The female envoy beside her also looked angry: "I didn't expect that Miss Hua could really reverse the case for the Li family."
The master and the servant had nowhere to vent their anger, but they saw Sun Tian walking up angrily, holding on to his old waist, and when he saw He Shiyin, he cursed: "Miss He, you took my money and actually did the errand."
In this way, you”
He Shiyin waved her hand and stopped him unhurriedly: "Executive member Sun, that's not what you said. I advised you to stop as soon as you see fit, but you insisted on making it a dead end and forced Li Tong into it.
It’s a dead end, this dog will bite if it gets anxious.”
"I"
Sun Tian was speechless for a moment.
At that time, he also wanted to completely cut off Zhang Lian's thoughts. Who would have thought that things would change so quickly.
"It's all because Mrs. Tan talks so openly."
Sun Tian curled his lips unwillingly and said: "Miss Congratulations, she is famous throughout the Daye Dynasty, but her reputation was ruined by a country girl who suddenly appeared today."
"Mr. Sun is wrong. This matter has nothing to do with me and I was not involved in it."
He Shiyin forced a smile and waved his hand to stop him again.
"But you took my money."
Before Sun Tian finished speaking, He Shiyin immediately took out a thick stack of silver notes and threw it on the tea table, and snorted disdainfully: "It's only two thousand taels of silver, but Mr. Sun wants me to go through fire and water for you. It's really shameful."
Measure your own capabilities."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
"slow"
Just as Sun Tian's servant was about to stop him, her envoy kicked the leader far away with a kick in the air.
"My lady said she doesn't care about your money."
Seeing the master and servant walking down the teahouse, Sun Tian had to swallow his breath secretly.
