Now that people can be sent to arrest Liu Panpan, Master Lu has already done almost everything.
Today, people first sued Shen Shen, and then Shen Shen counter-sued, causing an uproar. Everyone who learned the news would rush to the court to watch when they had time.
The blacksmith's wife was just taking time to watch the fun. When she heard Shen Shen's complaint, she immediately informed the people around her of the situation when she found Shen Shen that day. Then, a woman curiously asked: "Is the knife that hurt her face in your house?" bought?"
As soon as these words came out, there was an instant silence.
The blacksmith's wife suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart. She just wanted to discuss the case with someone, but she didn't want to involve herself at all.
If the knife was really bought at her house, then their family would have provided the murder weapon and would also be involved. But at this point, she could not tolerate her silence. Someone over there reported it, and Mr. Lu immediately went to take care of it. The blacksmith came to inquire, and then found Liu Panpan.
As for the knife that Liu Panpan bought, she threw it away right after she hurt someone. Now that I have come to find her, I can’t tell the reason why she bought the knife. After a few minutes, she has done anything.
Then, she found the person who put the sack on Shen Shen. They were people hired by the owner of a small shop that she had beaten up before. They were all gangsters.
Chen Sanpi was lucky. He went to Liu Panpan to ask for money that day, so he did not participate in the matter. After learning about Liu Panpan's arrest, he also ran over and watched from the outside of the courtroom.
When things came to light, the person who had been whipped by Shen Si was named Luo. He was one of the people who complained in the morning. At this time, he knelt on the ground and said with justification: "Sir, I admit that I beat her, but if she doesn't beat me, I won’t hit her either. She’s not guilty after paying her money, so I can also pay her money!”
Liu Panpan immediately agreed and pulled down the veil on her face, "She hurt my face like this, why can't it be better if I hurt it again?"
What a mess!
Mr. Lu feels a headache,
Shen Shen defended, saying: "I paid you the money! But you hurt me secretly. If I hadn't complained, would you have come out and admitted it?"
Injuring someone is a serious crime, and Liu Panpan knew it well, so he simply refused to do anything and said, "I didn't get the money you compensated. My mother didn't give it to me at all!"
"That's your business, I'll compensate you anyway." Shen Si said plausibly.
Liu Panpan took out the five taels of silver in her arms and put it in front of her, "Sir, it was my fault to take action. But she is a talented lady, how can I dare to admit it? Now I am willing to compensate and beg you to be punished again!"
After saying that, he kowtowed deeply.
The boss over there surnamed Luo immediately said: "I am also willing to compensate and ask you to be repaid."
It had only been half a day since I was thinking that the beating was not guilty. If the beating was found guilty now... Mr. Lu rubbed his eyebrows. He felt that the Luo Dong family and Liu Panpan were actually victims, and they were not bad people in themselves. .The ones who should be dealt with most should be the gangsters who use money to do things. Those are the people who will cause him trouble in the future.
"Then five taels of silver per person will be paid to Shen."
Liu Panpan breathed a sigh of relief.
The Luo Dong family also breathed a sigh of relief.
But for Shen Si, she couldn't accept this result, and said in shock: "Sir, I lay in bed for half a month after being injured, and now there are several scars on my face. Can ten taels of silver buy me a lifetime?"
Hearing this, Liu Panpan pointed at his face, "Aren't you buying me for life?"
In Shen Shen's excitement, he blurted out, "How are we the same?"
Liu Panpan sneered, "Miss Shen, do you think you are still the eldest girl of the Shen family? What's the difference between you and me? Aren't we both the same disfigured women?" She turned around and looked at Chen Sanpi, "Both are the same. A disfigured woman who is about to divorce."
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Shen Siqi especially couldn't listen to Heli's words, "How could I Heli?"
Liu Panpan sneered and didn't answer.
"No need to discuss it further at this time!" Mr. Lu waved his hand, "Take them down!"
He was referring to Shen Shen, Luo Dong's family and Liu Panpan. He still had to examine those little gangsters carefully.
Liu Panpan refused to leave and kowtowed deeply, "As a daughter of the common people, I beg you to make the decision and reconcile with my husband for me!"
Mr. Lu frowned: "You can just discuss this matter yourself."
"No!" Liu Panpan fell on the ground, "My marriage was the result of Ms. Shen's force. She asked me to marry the gangster Chen Sanpi. He liked to drink and beat people after drinking. After we got married, I was beaten every day. , all the neighbors can testify.”
Is there anything else going on inside?
Master Lu felt even more troubled by this mess, "What's going on?"
As a result, some secrets about the relationship between Liu Panpan and Xu Qingyue's cousins were revealed. Shen Shen found a marriage for her out of jealousy. Later, Liu Panpan came to the door and cried, and Shen Shen hurt her face again. .
During this period, Chen Sanpi was brought to court, and the argument lasted for nearly an hour. Finally, Mr. Lu reconciled the two of them quickly. He also investigated the matter of Shen Shen's forced marriage!
The matter was settled, this time Liu Panpan didn't stay too long and exited neatly.
But Shen Shen failed to escape prison after all!
Shen Shen didn't interfere and didn't know about things like selling illicit salt and buying and selling by force, but she unintentionally hurt many people. The act of forcing Liu Panpan to marry was particularly bad, and she was thrown into prison to keep company with the Shen family.
Then only those little gangsters who were hired by the Luo Dong family to beat people were left in the court!
Any person like this who is hanging around outside has been involved in some serious crimes, ranging from forcing girls into prostitution to petty theft. After careful investigation, the problem will definitely be found and the person will be imprisoned.
It is worth mentioning that after the divorce, Chen Sanpi wanted to run away. Liu Panpan happened to see him and immediately said: "Sir, Chen Sanpi worked as a thug in the gambling house and injured many people. He also forced He Widow Yu, who lives in the same alley with us, often goes to her home, and Widow Yu does not associate with him voluntarily. There are also two brothers, Liba and Lihun, who also go to the widow's home every two days... "
So Mr. Lu sent people to find Widow Yu. During this period, many people who had things stolen by these gangsters came to complain. In the end, they were all imprisoned in accordance with the law, ranging from more than ten years to several years.
The most serious crime was committed by Chen Sanpi. He injured more than 20 people in succession. The most serious one was that he broke both legs and both hands. Although he was acting under the orders of the Shen family, he was really... The person he injured was immediately sentenced to fifteen years in prison.
From morning to night, the matter was finally concluded.
Seeing everyone disperse outside the courtroom, Xu Qingyue, who was not far away, let out a long sigh of relief.
As soon as he arrived at the door of the house, Xu's mother greeted him: "How is it?"
Xu Qingyue helped her mother through the door, and then whispered: "I am imprisoned, and I probably won't be able to come back."
"Really?" Xu's mother was overjoyed, "Did you say how long we will be detained?"
Xu Qingyue shook his head: "Not yet. But she has bullied so many people. Those people did not dare to sue because of her reputation as a scholar. Now that she has been convicted, those people will definitely sue again. She should Can’t get out!”
"That's good." Xu's mother changed her mind and ordered: "Go and ask Mrs. Ya to sell all the maids and servants of the Shen family to me."
When the matron of the house spoke, even though it was already late, all the servants who were thinking about the dowry were taken away by Ya Po.
In the next two days, many people went to the Yamen to complain, all of them suing Shen Si. Some people who had already thought they were unlucky also ran to complain.
Shen Shen was saddled with more and more charges, including the incident of beating someone up that resulted in the death of her family. Lord Lu sentenced her to twenty years in prison and compensated the offender.
With compensation, more people will sue her.
Seeing that dozens of taels of silver had been paid out, the Xu family realized that things were not going well. Xu Qingyue wrote a letter of agreement, saying that he did not know that Mr. Shen was such a vicious person. He was familiar with sages and could not tolerate such vicious people around him. So. Submit a letter of divorce and sever ties with Shen Si'en!
Shen Shen naturally didn't admit it. Even if she was sorry for the people in the world, she was worthy of the Xu family! She wanted to confront Xu Qingyue face to face.
A woman who has been convicted of a crime is restless. Mr. Lu didn't want to care about this matter at first, but Shen Si said that as the daughter of the Shen family, all her dowry was given by the Shen family. The Shen family had committed something wrong. If her family property is confiscated, her dowry should also be confiscated. If the divorce is successful, she is willing to hand over the entire dowry to the county government!
When Mr. Lu took over the county government at Chuchu, he not only took over the chaos in the city, but also took over the county government's deficient accounts. If he could get Shen Shen's dowry, it would be a good thing for the county government's accounts and the granary.
Therefore, Xu Qingyue was summoned to confront Shen Si in court!
As Shen Shen said, the only people she deserves are definitely the Xu family. Although she is violent and likes to beat people, it is because of illness. In addition, she does well in honoring her parents-in-law, taking care of her husband, and being friendly to her younger siblings... The Xu family now The clothes and jewelry on my body were all gifts from her!
The two successfully reconciled, and the county government took away Shen Si's dowry, including the money Xu's mother had received from selling her servants, and the county government also took it away!
Not to mention how angry the Xu family was, two months later, the matter of selling illegal salt finally came to light, and the entire Shen family was executed.
Since Si Shen and Li Guijia are considered members of the Shen family, she is also one of them.
It was inevitable that Shen Shen would reach this point. Even if she did not reconcile, she would be abandoned. Therefore, from the moment she was taken away by the Yamen, it was already destined that she was a member of the Shen family! It was impossible to escape unscathed.
It was winter in the blink of an eye, and wintersweet blossoms were blooming in the suburbs. Xu Qingyue made an appointment with the girl from the Ji family in the city to go out to enjoy the plum blossoms.
In fact, it’s just looking at each other!
The Ji family is the salt merchant after the Shen family. Although it is not as good as the former Shen family, sooner or later it will be comparable to it.
Xu Qingyue was able to get an appointment with her, it must be said that his reputation as a scholar took a lot of advantage!
If everything goes well, Xu Qingyue will become the son-in-law of the Ji family and will be supported by them. He can also continue to take the provincial examination. Considering that he has passed the examination as a scholar before he is twenty years old, he has a bright future.
Unfortunately, things did not go as planned. The carriage went crazy as soon as it left the city. The driver found an opportunity to jump off, but was only slightly injured. But Xu Qingyue was a scholar, had no strength to speak, and was timid. In the end, he was carried alive by the horse. Hit the cliff.
The horse died tragically on the spot, the carriage fell apart, and Xu Qingyue in the carriage fainted immediately. When the people behind chased the horse and found him, it was already an hour later.
He was covered in injuries all over his body, the most serious ones were his two legs. He had no feeling at all and was... paralyzed.
The Ji family was willing to marry him mainly because they were interested in his future and wanted to win over a scholar for their own use. Now that Xu Qingyue has become paralyzed, the marriage has naturally been cancelled.
He was a scholar, so it was easy for him to get married. However, Xu's mother was afraid that the girl's family had taken care of a paralytic for a long time, and her temperament would change, and she would abuse him again. So, she picked Liu Panpan.
On the day they got married, Chu Yunli stood at the door of Zhang's courtyard and watched with her own eyes as Liu Panpan went out dressed in a bright red wedding dress, and it was Po Xi who married her. Because Xu Qingyue had no brothers, he finally found a cousin to marry on his behalf.
When these two people become a couple, they get what they want, and no one dislikes the other!
In the spring of the next year, Chu Yunli accompanied Yu Changfeng to Beijing to take the exam. That year, Yu Changfeng won the second place, and then went to work outside the country. He started as a seventh-level county magistrate and worked his way up through the ranks.
The couple also often visited relatives in the city. When Chu Yunli returned to Yingcheng ten years after their marriage, the two elders of the Zhang family were still alive. The two brothers each owned a shop and ran small businesses to support the family. They lived a contented and comfortable life.
And Xu Qingyue died of illness in this year. It is said that when he died, he was covered with bedsores and his whole body smelled bad. It is also very sad that the original fairy master met this end.
Anyone who is bedridden for a long time will inevitably develop bedsores. The only difference is whether they are more or less. If you take good care of him, you will have fewer bedsores, and you will be covered with bedsores all over your body... It can be seen that Liu Panpan does not love him as much as she thought.
Yu Changfeng's journey from a seventh-grade official back to the position of Minister of the Ministry of Justice in the capital was smooth. What changed was the official position, but what remained unchanged was the relationship between the couple. Along the way, they helped many people seek justice and cleared their grievances.
More than a hundred years later, there are still legends about the couple.
