"My son is not dead!" Xu Er said angrily, "Long Live Lord, his own son was beaten to death by the Ding family, so he hopes that the sons of the rest of us will also be beaten to death by the Ding family! He already told me that he spent money to buy off two servants of the Ding family, and when the time comes, he can let those two come out to testify and sue the Ding family!"
The old man surnamed Ge looked at Xu Er, shook his head indignantly and said:
"Crazy, really crazy!"
The scene was very chaotic.
On one side was Xu Er, who kept saying that his son was not dead and could testify against the Ding family's evil deeds.
On the other side were the other villagers who filed the complaint. They stood beside the old man surnamed Ge, and they all thought that Xu Er was completely crazy.
Seeing this, Zhu Xiongying frowned slightly.
at this time.
A guard came to Zhu Yuanzhang's side and reported in a low voice:
"Your Majesty, there is a group of scholars outside. The leader calls himself Wu Heng and requests to meet His Majesty."
"It is said that they know the truth about what the people in the village have complained about."
Zhu Yuanzhang was having a headache from the quarrel in front of him. Hearing this name, he said:
"In that case, let them in."
"Let's hear what this Wu Heng... has to say."
Chapter 127 Falsely Accusing the Commander!all rioters
soon.
A group of scholars, led by officers and soldiers, came to Zhu Yuanzhang.
Wu Heng, the leader, bowed his hands to Zhu Yuanzhang and said:
"Grassman Wu Heng, pay homage to His Majesty."
Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at him and asked:
"We heard from the guard that...you are also from this village?"
Wu Heng replied:
"Yes, Your Majesty, Cao Min's father was from this village."
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said:
"Since you say you know the truth about this matter, then tell us about it."
"All you know, say it verbatim."
Wu Heng replied very calmly:
"Returning to Your Majesty, the grassroots must know everything and say everything."
As he spoke, he pointed to the villagers and said:
"Your Majesty, as far as the grassroots know, these people are notorious thugs and village tyrants... Back then, they occupied many good fields outside the city and did not plant them carefully, resulting in the good fields being abandoned for a long time."
"The people of the Ding family felt it was a pity to see these fields abandoned, so they entrusted Cao Min's father as an intermediary to come to the village to buy the fields."
"Caomin's father had good intentions and won enough money for the villagers. The average price of the fields here is much higher than that in the east and north of the city!"
Speaking of it.
Wu Heng took out a paper deed, He Li saw it, took it, and handed it to Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Yuanzhang took it over and took a look, and it indeed clearly stated the transactions between the villagers and Ding Bin.
In terms of price, it is indeed not low, it doesn't seem like they were forced to sell at a low price.
Wu Heng went on to say:
"Your Majesty, Cao Min's father helped many villagers sell their land for a good price, so that many families in the village had money and could go to the city to find another way of life..."
"As for the remaining families, not only did they not appreciate my father, but they also beat my father, causing Caomin's father to die from serious injuries. Caomin had no choice but to sell their property in the city in order to bury his late father..."
As Wu Heng spoke, he wiped away tears.
Zhu Yuanzhang said expressionlessly:
"Then you are really a dutiful son."
Wu Heng shook his head slightly, and said with a sad face:
"Now they are going back and accusing the members of the Ding family... Although the Caomin themselves have nothing to do with the Ding family, they have read the books of sages and sages since they were young and know that a gentleman can do something. Therefore, the Caomin must stand up and explain the truth to His Majesty. To be fair..."
"Students like Caomin are also from this village, they can testify for me!"
The scholars who came with Wu Heng clasped their fists and bowed one after another, saying to Zhu Yuanzhang:
"Your Majesty, what Brother Wu Heng said is the truth, I hope His Majesty will see clearly!"
Facing such a group of scholars who appeared suddenly, although Zhu Yuanzhang was suspicious, he didn't say anything.
among the villagers.
After the old man surnamed Ge saw Wu Heng's appearance clearly, he pointed at Wu Heng excitedly and shouted:
"Long live, you can't believe what this person says!"
"His father is a gangster in the village. He usually does some cheating and abducting activities, and then he was kicked out by the villagers..."
"He must have hated the people in the village, that's why he said that!"
Wu Heng immediately confronted each other:
"It's a joke. You led people to beat my father to death. Now you have deceived the Holy One. You deserve death!"
Then, he clasped his fists at Zhu Yuanzhang again and said:
"Your Majesty, these unscrupulous people just look at the great business of Ding's family, and they want to get something for nothing... Everyone in Yangzhou knows about this, and the prefect of Yangzhou has also pronounced a sentence. Since then, these rioters have even started to slander the court officials!"
"Cao Min implores His Majesty to uphold justice and punish these disorderly people severely to reassure the people!"
The old man surnamed Ge was so angry that he coughed continuously:
"You...cough cough...you are talking nonsense!"
Seeing him like this, the villagers around him were so frightened that they quickly supported him and patted his back, for fear that the elderly Ge Lao would pass him by in a hurry.
Just in plain sight.
Xu Er was as crazy as he walked in front of Wu Heng.
A pair of eyes, fixedly staring at Wu Heng.
"What are you going to do?"
Sensing something was wrong, Wu Heng took a step back and asked.
Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Xiongying also looked at this man suspiciously.
Although Ge Lao said he was crazy.
But judging from what has happened so far, this person is quite normal, not like a completely crazy person.
I saw Xu Er standing in front of Wu Heng, and asked sharply:
"I've seen you!"
"After my son was dragged away by the Ding family, I went to the city to look for my son, and I saw you talking to the steward of the Ding family at the back door of the Ding family!"
"Say! Where did you hide my son!"
These words immediately aroused the vigilance of everyone present.
Zhu Yuanzhang also frowned.
This Wu Heng keeps saying that he has nothing to do with the Ding family.
But what Xu Er said, how should he explain it?
Facing Xu Er's persecution.
Wu Heng's cheeks were covered with cold sweat.
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
"When did I get involved with your son? I've never seen him!"
"Don't come any closer!"
Wu Heng hadn't finished speaking yet.
Just hear the "pop!" sound.
Xu Er slapped Wu Heng hard with lightning speed.
Wu Heng never expected that he would be slapped in the face by a crazy old farmer in front of the emperor, and he was so annoyed that he raised his hand and wanted to return it.
Fortunately, Zhu Xiongying reacted very quickly, and said:
"He Li, go and separate the two of them."
After He Li got the order, he rushed to the middle of the two in an instant, directly separated Wu Heng and Xu Er, so that the two people could no longer conflict.
Wu Heng saw that it was the emperor's guards who stopped him, so he didn't dare to do it again.
He could only resist the burning pain on his cheek, turned around and cupped his fists at Zhu Yuanzhang and said:
"Your Majesty! You have seen it too."
"This person dares to be so presumptuous in front of His Majesty. He is really vicious! Not only did he slander the grassroots, but he also beat him! Caomin's father was beaten to death by such a scumbag!"
"I hope His Majesty can give justice to the grassroots!"
Zhu Yuanzhang was also tired of watching this farce.
Originally, I wanted to investigate the truth, and at the same time see if there was a chance to catch Li Shanchang's handle.
Who knows.
This Wu Heng came here with a large group of literati and scholars, and the matter was complicated by them.
at this time.
Neither side has any critical evidence, and it is impossible to determine who is lying and who is fishing in troubled waters only based on some irrelevant pleadings and land deeds.
Lao Zhu actually knew it in his heart.
This Wu Heng doesn't look clean.
But the villagers couldn't produce any evidence, and they beat people, which has already put them at a disadvantage.
Just when everyone present was helpless.
A guard rushed over and said to Zhu Yuanzhang:
"Your Majesty!"
"There is a man at the entrance of the village, who claims to be the son of Xu Er in the village, and asks for a face saint!"
Chapter 128 The person who died in suspended animation, come back to sue
"Xu Er's son?!"
The first time I heard this sentence.
Zhu Yuanzhang thought he had heard it wrong.
Is Xu Er's son really alive?
Zhu Xiongying was also quite shocked. Except for Xu Er, the rest of the villagers thought his son was dead.
Unexpectedly, he was still alive.
The villagers who heard this sentence were also shocked.
Ge Lao turned around tremblingly, and asked the villagers behind him who were supporting him:
"I... didn't hear me wrong just now?"
"Does it mean that Xu Er's son is back?"
