After time travel, I became a talented lady
Chapter 39
In the courtyard of the Cheng Mansion, the housekeeper ran in panting and said to the old man, "Old man, it's not good. Lin Gou'er's wife went to the Yamen to sue us, saying that we killed Lin Gou'er. Magistrate Zhang took over. After winning the imperial title, the officials are on their way to the Cheng Mansion! This is really ridiculous!"
The old man was startled and furious, stroking his palms repeatedly, "I didn't know that Dong Ruzan would actually use this trick, and even accuse me of such an unreasonable charge! And Magistrate Zhang, this is a festival. My countless gold and silver treasures are actually working together to frame me! I want to see if Magistrate Zhang can confuse right and wrong and sentence me to jail!"
The chief steward grabbed Mr. Cheng and said anxiously, "Old man, you can't go. Dong Ruzan is approaching step by step. It seems that he has been planning for a long time. We have no power and power, so we can't fight him. It's better to abandon a few more shops." , the green hills left behind are not afraid of not having firewood!”
Mr. Cheng said angrily, "Get out of here, man, I can't bear to give up enough! Several restaurants and tea gardens have been abandoned! Several merchants' shops have also been given away at low prices! Even the shipyard has been abandoned after running back and forth. I can't give him most of my wealth! This dock is the foundation of the Cheng family, and he wants to kill me!"
After saying that, he spit hard and said, "If he doesn't give me a way to survive, I can't let him take advantage of me in vain!"
After saying that, he took out an account book from behind the desk and gave it to the big housekeeper, "This is a booklet of gifts coming and going from Qiantang over the years, as well as the records of the money shop that Dong Ruzan forced me to hand over. Dalang is a loser." You can’t count on it, give this to Erlang when he comes back from school, he will know how to do it!”
The chief steward felt sad after hearing this, and hurriedly collected the book and tucked it into his belt. Just as he was about to speak, the woman at the door ran in and said in a panic, "Old lady, the Yamen is here and wants you to go to the Yamen! "
As soon as he finished speaking, the yamen officer looked over and saw Mr. Cheng. He handed the interrogation note to Cheng Jingze. Cheng Jingze sneered three times in succession, gave the chief steward a few instructions and then followed the yamen officer out of the house!
Seeing that the old master was gone, the first housekeeper hurriedly informed the young man to go to the academy to call the second master. He also went to report to the old lady in person. At the same time, he ordered the young man to close the door of the house and not accept visitors from outside.
After hearing this, the old lady's eyes darkened, she pouted over, and hurriedly pinched the person. She frowned in pain and faintly woke up. She was used to relying on the old man all her life, and had never made any decisions. Now the old man was When she was taken to the Yamen, she didn't know who to ask and was so confused that she was confused.
The eldest lady served on one side and hurriedly comforted the old lady, "Old lady, don't worry, I will ask my father right now, maybe I can know something~"
After hearing this, the old lady came back to her senses and hurriedly said, "Go quickly, quickly~"
The eldest lady simply packed up and returned to her parents' home.
She didn't expect that although her father was the chief clerk, he was poor and mean, and his interactions with his colleagues were timid and fussy. His colleagues didn't want to pay attention to him, and Magistrate Zhang didn't like him, so he just left him alone.
The eldest lady came home and asked questions. She was so angry that she banged the table and kept getting anxious!
In the county government hall, Cheng Jingze was summoned to the court, and the ugly woman was escorted to the court. Magistrate Zhang sat in front of the case and asked, "What evidence do you have, please bring it to us!"
After hearing this, Mrs. Lin Gouer blew her nose and hurriedly took out a piece of paper from the gray and greasy jacket and said, "May the county magistrate please sign it~"
The Yamen took the paper with his fingers and handed it to Magistrate Zhang.
Magistrate Zhang opened it and took a closer look. It was a piece of letter paper that read: Severely punish Cheng Jingze! Dong Zhiyi's book.
Magistrate Zhang...
There was a drop of sweat on Magistrate Zhang's forehead. Although he was neither a good person nor an upright official, and he had done a lot of cheating, but they were all cunning and cunning, and he didn't care much about them. On weekdays, The case will be judged.
At most, he is just greedy for money and lust, but he has never done anything like putting someone in jail himself!
Master Cheng wanted him to be convicted without any basis. He was feeling a little scared and a little regretful. Dong Ruzan wanted to take away the Cheng family's wealth, and now he even wanted to destroy the Cheng family!
When the master saw that Magistrate Zhang was struggling and kept silent for a long time, his eyebrows were trembling, he hurriedly stretched his head to take a look, and was also startled.
The two of them looked at each other, both surprised and scared, not knowing what to do.
It was the master who came to his senses first, quietly leaned into Magistrate Zhang's ear, and whispered, "Then Dong Ruzan has been forced to this point, and the old man has no choice. Let's hold him back for now, and sentence him to detention first. You see?" ?”
Magistrate Zhang was excited and winked, "Wonderful, lock him up first and let Dong Ruzan do it by himself!"
Magistrate Zhang was stunned and shouted:
"Quietly, Lin Gouer's family, your evidence is not very sufficient. I still need to think about it carefully and consider it carefully. I will adjourn today and discuss it tomorrow!"
"As for you and the old man of the Cheng family, we will first detain you together and withdraw from prison!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the crowd immediately became buzzing.
The people who were watching were confused. Someone shouted, maybe the county magistrate is confused and puts people in jail for no reason! At the Lantern Festival last year, he saw that Magistrate Zhang was friendly with the two brothers, Old Master Cheng, but now he fell out of favor.
Someone said, could it be that the Cheng family master did not send the money in place?
Cheng Jingze also said angrily, "I am not guilty, why are you detaining me?! How can you detain people casually without proof? Where is the justice of heaven!?"
The chaos in the court was like a pigsty, noisy!
"Quiet, shut up, don't make any noise!" After hearing Magistrate Zhang's roar, the Yamen hurriedly blocked the door of the court. The two Yamen ignored Cheng Jingze's struggle and escorted him to the prison.
Magistrate Zhang and Master took advantage of the chaos and ran out of the court...
Dong Ruzan stood in the crowd and saw that Mr. Cheng was being imprisoned. He sneered, "Tianli? I am Tianli!"
After saying that, he went to the backyard of the county government office.
In the backyard of the county government office, Lin Wanwan stayed in Zhang Xiulin's yard these days, not daring to go out and walk around. She read and painted all day long. Cheng Deqing sent someone to tell her that the servant stopped Song Qi at the gate of the Hou Mansion. Song Qi had already received the letter. I'm sure you'll be here soon!
Lin Wanwan's heart swayed, as if a beacon had turned on in the dark night. It suddenly became a lot brighter. She no longer shed tears when she saw the withered branches and flowers, and she didn't feel sorry for herself when she saw the pair of koi carps in the pond.
Zhang Xiulin's mother came to see her. She was a gentle and tolerant woman, but Zhang Xiulin had disappeared in the past two days.
She was looking up to admire a swallow's nest under the eaves. This swallow's nest was quite old. The old swallows were pecking at the mud. Year after year, the yellow mud turned gray, and the swallow's nest had already occupied one of the eaves.
"Ah!" A black cloth scarf was wrapped around her head, a thick hand strangled her body, and the other thick hand covered her mouth through the black scarf. She was tied away without making a second sound. Already...
