As for the truth of what happened in court, Wei Pingxiao fully figured it out even if he didn't ask. Old Liaotou's family, Shi San, even Tong Shu and Fang Ya Chai Biao, these four parties were actually involved in the same interest.
Wei Pingxiao scanned the people in the hall with stern eyes and said sonorously, "Liao Wusi, your family bought Tong Shu's yard on Metasequoia Street last year, and found Fang Ya and Chai Biao as the mediator.
But in order to evade taxes, you only signed a white deed with Tong Shu instead of sealing it in the Yamen.
Chai Biao, as Fang Ya, you have the responsibility to supervise and supervise the house tax, but you pretend to be public for personal gain, knowing the law and breaking the law. Either you took advantage of Liao Wusi to conceal this matter; or, this is your instigation.
Shi San, you may have accidentally known their secrets, so you wanted to take advantage of them and deliberately fabricated fake house deeds. In the previous two cases, the people involved did not dare to admit to tax evasion, so they had no choice but to suffer a loss and let you take over the house.
But it is only three things. You are not greedy enough. You treat me as a three-year-old child and commit the crime again and again. Are you so sure that I will not doubt you?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the four groups in the hall were so frightened that their faces were as pale as paper.
Chai Biao was the first to retort: "Sir, Cao Min doesn't know these two people at all, nor has he ever acted as mediator with them. Cao Min really doesn't know, sir."
Wei Pingxiao was startled and scolded: "You dare to quibble. You are an old fan of Tongyuan for more than ten years. You can tell who lives where with your eyes closed. You don't know that Tong Shu lives in the yard."
Liao Wusi’s family?”
Chai Biao's eyeball exposed by the gauze kept flickering, and he continued to argue:
"The grassroots people...the grassroots people think that they are relatives, neighbors who have known each other for many years. The grassroots people don't ask too much. They just think that Tong Shu gave the house to Liao Wusi and his family."
Wei Pingxiao's eyes were sharp, and he asked Tong Shu: "Tong Shu, Chai Biao does not admit that he had a mediator with you. If so, then you are lying. Come on, if you dare to speak nonsense in the court, drag this person down.
The most important thing is fifty big boards."
Tong Shu was so shocked that he knelt on the ground and shouted, "Sir, the common people are wronged. This matter has nothing to do with the common people. It was all Chai Biao and Liao Wusi's idea. The common people just sold their houses and don't know anything else."
grown ups."
His confession made both Chai Biao and Liao Wusi anxious. Seeing that there was no room for closure, Liao Wusi quickly caught Tong Shu's words, "Sir, this matter was all Chai Biao's idea. The common people were coerced by him,
It’s a last resort.”
Chai Biao was so angry and anxious that even though he was wrapped in rice dumplings, he still gritted his teeth angrily and wanted to hit Liao Wusi. Liao Wusi was so frightened that he ran away on his knees. His son rushed up to block Chai Biao, and his wife
He and his daughter-in-law also rushed forward to protect him.
There was chaos in the hall. Wei Pingxiao frowned and said, "Get him." The officials on the left and right immediately stepped forward with their killing sticks, stuck the sticks on Chai Biao's neck, and pushed him to the ground.
.
After Chai Biao was pushed to the ground, he did not dare to struggle anymore and could only cry out for injustice, "Sir, this has nothing to do with the common people. It must be a private transaction between Liao Wusi and Tong Shu. After the matter was exposed, they came to bite the common people.
"
"No sir, the common people have a white deed to prove that the house is indeed the guarantor of Chai Biao." Liao Wusi kowtowed:
"The grassroots people didn't want to break the law, but Tongyuan only had three fangs. The three of them, headed by Chai Biao, were very friendly with a group of bullies in Tongyuan.
Chai Biao has been in Tongyuan for more than ten years, and he has the final say in Tongyuan's real estate rules. He doesn't let us sign the red deed, but he takes more commissions from us.
I bought my house for thirty taels, but Chai Biao got only ten taels of silver from me. I didn't want to agree, but he came with bullies to threaten my family.
Those bullies had killed people before, and they had beaten people to death as early as five years ago, but the government didn't care about it at that time. The grassroots family was also afraid, so they had no choice but to sign a white contract because of Chai Biao's power."
"You lied. Liao Wusi, be careful what you say." Chai Biao looked at Liao Wusi gloomily.
Liao Wusi's son quickly pulled his father in front of him, pointed at Chai Biao and said filial piety to Wei Ping: "Sir, look at it, you dare to threaten the father of a common man in court.
Sir, everything Caomin's father said is true. We are indeed threatened by Chai Biao. Not only us, but most of the owners who buy and sell houses in Tongyuan are obedient to Chai Biao's evil influence."
Liao Wusi hurriedly said: "My lord, the white deed is under a movable brick under the bedside of the main room of Cao Min's house. Please send someone to get it."
The Cao Min admitted that he had indeed evaded taxes, but the Cao Min was also coerced by Chai Biao. If he did not comply, he would lead his men to beat the Cao Min family to death. Sir, the Cao Min is really scared." As he spoke, he kowtowed vigorously. Liao Wusi's son and
My wife and daughter-in-law also kowtowed.
Wei Pingxiao immediately ordered a yamen servant to hurry up and get the white deed. Yan He, on the other hand, had already sent people to the Commercial and Taxation Institute to get the Tongyuan house transaction book.
Soon, the yamen servant returned to the hall with the brochure. Yan He looked through it carefully and finally said filial piety to Wei Ping:
"In the past ten years, there have been only 42 houses in Tongyuan, and about half of them were Lian Fang Ya as mediators, and the other half were mediators of Chai Biao, Jiang Hai, and Pang Lin. In total, these three people, in ten years,
The mediator is not even enough for ten families."
Chai Biao was already panicking and sweating, but he still stiffly defended: "The conditions in Tongyuan are too bad, no one wants to buy a house there."
Wei Pingxiao vaguely felt that there was something that had not been unearthed. He looked at Shi San, who had lowered his head and said nothing, and suddenly said, "Shi San, although they have committed the crime of theft, you have also committed the crime of theft.
He committed the crime of robbery and robbery. According to the law, he will be punished by ten soldiers, fined fifty taels of silver, and imprisoned for one year."
Shi San trembled with fright and said in panic: "Sir, the grass-roots people deserve to die. They are obsessed with money, but the grass-roots people know the big secret of Tongyuan. The grass-roots people ask you to allow the grass-roots people to make up for their mistakes."
Wei Pingxiao's face darkened, "I will make my own decision as to whether I can make up for my mistakes. I'll recruit what you know from the facts."
Shi Sanlian responded, took out a roll of paper from his sleeve, presented it, and said: "Sir, this is the news about the Tongyuan house transaction that the common people accidentally learned. What is recorded on this paper are all private transactions.
"
Wei Pingxiao's heart sank as he looked at the thick roll of paper, and Yan He couldn't help but walk to Wei Pingxiao's side.
Wei Pingxiao opened the roll of paper. There were four sheets in total, each with ten rows and ten columns. There were actually more than 300 households and nearly 2,000 people involved.
Yan He was frightened and compared the Tongyuan transaction booklet with the roll of paper. They were all unrecorded in the booklet. He was shocked and angry. He gritted his teeth and said, "These unscrupulous people dared to commit a collective crime after taking advantage of their ambitions."
Robbery." This scale and number were the only ones he had ever seen in his life.
Wei Pingxiao looked at Shi San and asked, "Where did you get this news?"
Shi San said honestly: "The Cao Min has never seen it. The man stopped the Cao Min that day. He was in the carriage and handed this thing to the Cao Min. He also gave the Cao Min fifty taels of silver and asked the Cao Min to perform this act.
play.
Sir, the grassroots really didn't mean to take over their house. The grassroots just... just felt aggrieved. Chai Biao, together with Jiang Hai, Pang Lin and a group of bullies, had been running rampant in Tongyuan for more than ten years. The grassroots' move was actually to expose them.
The true face of Tongyuan’s real estate transactions was exposed.”
