Mr. Ning didn't expect that the boy would beat someone to death. Didn't they knock the mountain guard unconscious after they were discovered by the mountain guard?
The two young men were frightened by Capt. Liu and could not explain why they wanted to sneak out of the house at this time, so they had no choice but to confess and bring out the second master.
Liu Captou and his party tied up the two boys and Mr. Ning with chains and took them back to the Yamen.
When Mrs. Ning learned that her second son had been arrested, she immediately jumped over and the entire Ning Mansion was in chaos.
After Mr. Ning was arrested, he confessed before the execution began.
The reason why he set fire to the tea mountain was, firstly, because he felt that Mr. Shen bought his tea mountain and made the good tea that even the rich could hardly buy. He made a lot of money. Not only was he jealous, but he also felt that his family
The tea mountain was sold at a loss.
The second reason is because Shen's shop took away the business from their Ning's shop.
Third, because of the Shen family, he and his niece Ning Ruyu became jokes in Jiangzhou City, and his Ning family reputation was ruined.
These three reasons made him hate Mrs. Shen, and he couldn't see her getting better, so he came up with the idea of burning down the tea mountain.
I sent two young men to go to the tea mountain first and then set fire to the tea mountain while the moon was dark and the wind was high.
In the afternoon, Shen Wan received the news that the person who burned the tea mountain had been arrested. She was also informed that she would go to the Yamen tomorrow and the prefect would hold a hearing on the case.
Shen Wan lamented the efficiency of the Yamen, finding evidence and arresting the person so quickly.
She made a list that night. If the Ning family burned her tea mountain, they would naturally have to pay for it.
The burned tea trees, flowers and trees must be compensated, because the tea trees, flowers and trees were burned, and the economic losses caused must be compensated. The workshop must be compensated, as well as the medical expenses and lost work time for injuring Bai Dongsheng.
Shen Wan made a list and calculated how much money each item would cost. It was enough to bankrupt the Ning family.
After breakfast the next day, Yun Luochuan arrived at Shen's house, and Shen Wan took a carriage with him to the government office.
I don’t know who it was, but it was revealed that the second master of the Ning family had been arrested for instigating the servants in the mansion to burn the mountain, and that a trial was going to be held today. This early in the morning, a group of people gathered outside the government office and watched the excitement.
people.
People from the Ning family also arrived early, but they were all sitting in the carriage and did not dare to get out of the carriage.
Here came Mr. Ning, Mrs. Ning and Mrs. Ning. Mrs. Ning also shouted to come, but her body was getting worse and worse due to the successive blows. After she fell this time, she couldn't even climb up.
Woke up.
A large carriage stopped at the entrance of the government office.
Anyone want to see who is on this carriage?
He turned around and stared.
I saw a man dressed in white brocade, with a jade tree facing the wind, getting off the carriage first.
Then, an elegant woman wearing a smoky blue skirt, cuffs, and collar embroidered with colorful butterflies, and a bun with clouds in her hair, lifted up her skirt and stepped out of the carriage on his feet.
When the woman dismounted, the man kept his hand to protect her, fearing that the woman would fall when she dismounted.
When the woman saw this scene, she felt envious in her heart. It would be a great blessing in life to have a husband who is so handsome and takes good care of her.
The woman got out of the car, and the two walked side by side. The woman's head was just under the man's chin, and the man's jade tree was facing the wind, and the shadows were like willows in the spring moon.
The woman is gentle and graceful, as quiet as a flower shining on water, and looks like a perfect match.
Soon someone else recognized the two of them, "Hey, aren't these the young master of the Yun family and the widow Shen next door to his family?"
"That's right, it's them. Why did they come together?
I don’t know how to avoid suspicion.”
"Oh! The Renyun family is entrusted by family friends to take care of Widow Shen and her son. Such a big thing has happened to Widow Shen's family. What's the point of coming to the Yamen to accompany them?"
"That's right, it is precisely because they are innocent that they can be so upright and walk together openly..."
