Chapter 514: Court (two chapters in one)(1/2)
Uncle Wang was extremely angry. At this time, he happened to meet a friend he had met in the past two days. The friend brought him a message. It turned out that just before Wang's "death" was committed, the servants of the Yang family once said that Master Yang wanted to retire Wang on the grounds of "stealing" in seven episodes.
The so-called stealing means that Wang took the betrothal gift from the Wu family to the Yang family.
The uncle of the Wang family was shocked and suddenly remembered that before Wang's death, his two daughters had lived in the Yang family.
He called his two daughters over, and after some intimidation, the two daughters finally told the truth. The aunt did take things from the betrothal gift. After Miss Yang found out about this, they were afraid of getting into trouble, so they rushed home.
The uncle of the Wang family finally understood that it must be because the Yang family failed to divorce their wife, so they killed Wang.
What kind of stealing? Wang is the mother of Miss Yang. Her mother takes things from the betrothal gift given by her in-laws. Where is this theft?
Uncle Wang was going to report to the official position. He really wanted to sleep and handed over a pillow. The newly-known friend introduced to him to Suit Song, who was known as the "first lawsuit in the capital."
A complaint was filed in Beijing, and Master Yang and Uncle Wang confronted the court.
Yan Xuehuai was soft and hard, and Li Qiniang finally nodded. Fusheng was back, so Li Qiniang asked Yan Xuehuai, Zhou Wanqian and Lu Ying'er to change into men's clothes, and Fusheng and Zhenzhu accompanied them to the outside of the Beijing yamen to watch the fun.
In Li Qiniang's eyes, Fusheng is a good child. If Fusheng follows, there will definitely be no accident.
Unexpectedly, as soon as a few people arrived outside the government office, they actually saw several familiar faces.
"Hey, isn't this the emperor, isn't the person around Young Master Hao?"
Lu Ying'er remembers them very clearly. She has seen these people many times in Li Shijiji. Huang Changsun would bring them with him every time he came.
Yan Xuehuai nodded. She not only saw these people, but also saw Eunuch Bao!
That’s right, it’s the eunuch Bao, who is around the emperor!
At this time, Eunuch Bao was wearing a green suit and a small hat, like an old slave who was not doing well in the family, crowded in the crowd.
Since Eunuch Bao is here, then the emperor must be there too.
Sure enough, a carriage was parked not far away. There was no sign of the mansion on the carriage, but the horses driving were strong and energetic. There were a few agile men next to the carriage, who were squatting or standing in a different posture, but had a cold and alert expression.
Sitting in the carriage is the emperor.
Pearl stretched out his finger and pointed it upwards. Yan Xuehuai followed the direction of his finger and saw Chai Hao and Zhou Xiaobai sitting on a big tree.
"They skipped class?" Yan Xue felt like her cousin was being taken away.
Pearl smiled and said, "If there is an edict, it will not be considered skipping class."
It’s like Zhou Xiaobai is a good student who studies hard.
However, everyone's attention quickly shifted to the court. The lawyer Song not only spoke lotus, but also prepared well. Faced with Master Yang's death, the lawyer Song was calm and brought the witnesses to the court one by one.
Among these witnesses, there were maids of two young ladies from the Wang family. They could confirm that Wang sorted out the betrothal gifts sent by the Wu family that day and collected several of them into another box. The reason for this was that Wang, as the mistress of the family, had always been careful and had to sort out the betrothal gifts he had just sent and carefully stored them.
Among the witnesses were the maids and mother-in-laws around Wang. After Wang died, they were sold. I don’t know where the uncle of the Wang family found these two people.
Uncle Wang was also very curious. He knew these two people, but they were not found by him. Well, Master Song is really capable and can actually find these two people.
These two people said the story that night, and the onlookers were in an uproar. Didn’t it mean that the Yang family had thieves and Wang committed suicide in order to keep their innocence?
It turned out that as rumored, the Yang family first poured dirty water on Wang's head and charged Wang with adultery. This was not only the case, but Wang's death was strange.
The maid cried and said, "My wife is most afraid of death. She said she would rather die than live. How could she commit suicide?"
The people were talking, overshadowing the sound in the hall. The prefect could only take a photo of the gavel, and then the outside was quiet.
Song Dazhang's burden has not yet been shaken, and he still has witnesses!
When the third group of witnesses were brought to the court, Master Yang was shocked.
There are three witnesses in the third group, all of whom are servants of the Yang family, and they are still in the Yang family.
One of the servants came to the hall and kowtowed, shouting for forgiveness.
After asking, I found out that one of the people who hung Wang on the beam that night was his wife.
When the woman heard that the uncle of the Wang family came to complain, she was so scared that she jumped into the well and committed suicide.
There was also an old woman who killed Wang with his wife.
The woman was a distant relative of the second concubine of the Yang family.
The second aunt was originally a maid from the Yang family, but later she was attracted by Master Yang. After giving birth to a illegitimate son, she was carried as an aunt.
Master Yang was so angry that he wanted to beat someone up. Although the second concubine had already fallen out of favor, he had never treated her harshly because of her giving birth to a son. Moreover, Wang repeatedly wooed the second concubine to deal with the favored third concubine. For this matter, the third concubine cried to him in bed.
The spearhead was pointed at the second aunt. The yamen runner went to the Yang family to get someone, but found that the second aunt had committed suicide.
The case was settled here. Wang was ordered by his servants to kill him. Master Yang was responsible for not investigating him. He was fame and fined him 100 taels of silver. He lied to the savage wife and pretended to be false, and was accused of 100, and was slaughtered for three years.
As for whether the Yang family should compensate the Wang family for the silver, they will be temporarily returned to the two families for consultation. If the negotiation fails, a separate judgment will be made.
Master Yang was shot to one hundred tricks on the spot and was put into prison.
In the carriage, Chai Hao talked about the things in the court with great enthusiasm.
The emperor had learned the result of the verdict from Eunuch Bao, but his grandson wanted to say that he was patient.
After hearing this, he asked, "In your opinion, is this case well or not?"
Chai Hao said: "It is good to only judge the case, and it conforms to the laws of the Great Wei Dynasty. However, if it is tried, the case can actually be retried."
The emperor asked with a smile: "Tell me in detail."
Chai Hao thought for a while and said, "What the old lady said was that the second aunt had already fallen out of favor and was angry that her wife was frivolous, so she set up this trap. As far as her grandson knew, the Yang family was average, and the second aunt's son was still young. I think the second aunt didn't have much money in her hands, and there were even fewer and fewer people around her. How could she make such a move? Moreover, she committed suicide, who knows if she had to die in order to protect her son?"
The emperor touched his beard, nodded with satisfaction, and asked, "Then according to your opinion, why didn't the prefect continue to interrogate?"
Valley
"One of the time, the second concubine is dead, and there is no evidence of death. Secondly, there is also a big girl from Yang family. She was once a member of the emperor's grandmother and was granted the marriage to you. Moreover, the plaque of the martyrdom of Wang's family in this case was also given by you."
After saying that, Chai Hao looked at the emperor with a smile. The emperor glared at him and said, "I don't know how many women are sent to you every year. I can't check it out in person."
Chai Hao smiled and said, "After all the time, it's the problem with the Beijing yamen. It's because the Beijing yamen has failed to review it. No wonder the prefect wants to close the case as soon as possible."
Outside the Beijing Office, the case was tried, but the people were still unsatisfied and were still talking.
Suddenly, someone patted Fusheng on the shoulder. Fusheng turned his head and saw it, and immediately smiled: "Wu Er, when did you go back to the capital?"
Wu Er shrewd and said, "I've been back for a few days and went to the Duke's Mansion to ask. The concierge said you've left the city."
"I just came back last night."
When the second son of the Wu family was seven years old, he became a disciple of Liu Qingyun, and Liu Qingyun later joined Qi Wei. In order to give his children more experience, the Wu family first asked the second son of Wu to follow Liu Qingyun. When Liu Qingyun followed Qi Wei, he took the second son of Wu with him. Later, because he wanted to go to the border, he sent the second son of Wu back to the Wu family.
Therefore, Mr. Wu and Fusheng met since childhood. They were of similar temperaments. Later, Mr. Wu went to the military camp and Mr. Wu also returned to the Wu family. However, the correspondence between letters and letters never stopped. As long as there is a chance, they will gather together.
Fusheng asked, "If this happens, Miss Yang is afraid that she will not be your stepmother, right?"
"It's impossible to do it, I'm going to do this now."
Mr. Wu did not continue to say what happened later. He had too many people and had a lot of people. I would rather find an opportunity to tell my friends.
If the Yang family had not cared about their face, did not return the betrothal gift, and threatened to sue, he would not have done anything.
Today, the appearance, along with the newly met good friend of the uncle Wang family, and even Song Dazhang, were all arranged by Mr. Wu.
As for the person who killed Wang, whether the second concubine was really the second concubine, or whether the second concubine had any accomplices, Mr. Wu did not care.
The next day, the Yang family always decided to return the Wu family's betrothal gift.
The matter was there. Wang's death was not mentioned early or late, and he insisted on finding it out at this time. What else could it happen? After all, it was caused by Mr. Yang's refusal to withdraw from the marriage.
Alas, the two families get together and part with each other, what's wrong with it?
If you say you blame someone, you still have to blame Master Yang. If he hadn't managed the family strictly, Wang would not have died. If Wang did not die, Yang Suyun would not have to be filial. Now he would have married the Wu family long ago. Not only would he not have happened today, but the Yang family also received help.
Now, nothing is left.
The emperor was not in much better mood. When he returned to the palace, he called the prince over: "Is the prosperity of a family determined by the archway of the chastity of the women?"
The prince said nothing. Since you ascended the throne, there have been many strong women and wives. Isn’t it enough to criticize a few less?
The emperor glared at him and lowered his head, didn't I know what you were thinking?
"If the order is passed on, local governments at all levels will have to report such memorandums again. No existing memorandum will be approved and returned!"
Almost all local government offices have written notes to criticize the Fiery Women's Day. With the emperor's order, all the comments were returned and they will not work in the future.
After this decree was announced, almost everyone thought of the Yang family's case.
Yes, it was because of the fakes produced by the Yang family that the entire Wei Dynasty could no longer produce chaste and fierce women.
The family who finally convinced the new widow's daughter-in-law to commit suicide on a hunger strike, and before they could report to the government, they heard the news, but were knocked to the house by their in-laws again. So the two families found the Yang family together.
Master Yang has been imprisoned, but the Yang family is still there.
The elders of the Yang family were anxious and angry. Uncle Wang and his clans were guarding outside the Yang family's ancestral hall to ask for money. Now there are dead daughters-in-law coming to ask for an explanation. What's this?
The most urgent task is to first dismiss the Wang family. Otherwise, if the Yang family goes to court again, the Yang family will be completely unable to raise their heads in the capital.
The uncle of the Wang family invited the famous clan of the Wang family to come forward and negotiate with the Yang family. In the end, the Yang family compensated the Wang family with 3,000 taels of silver.
These three thousand taels were not all from the Wang uncle. He wanted to divide one thousand taels to the clan and then take out five hundred taels to the clan.
The Yang family took out three thousand taels and gave it to the Wang family. When the other family saw it, their eyes turned red. They went to the Yang family every few days to make trouble. The Yang family just wanted to settle the matter, so they simply took two hundred taels out. Then the family did it.
The Yang clan paid 3,200 taels, but the money was fine, but more importantly, the face and the future of their descendants.
