Daming female local tyrant

Jing Lan soon found out that something happened to Shenji Silk and Satin Village in Suzhou City, and it was Ping Fu who ordered Shen Wan to call her back.

Knowing from Shen Wan's mouth that shopkeeper Wu was taken away by the officials of the Suzhou government office and the shop was sealed up, she asked Shen Wan what to do next.

Shen Wan said: "Before I came to Suzhou, my father wrote me a letter, telling me to visit his old friends when I came to Suzhou. One of them was appointed as the general judge of the Suzhou government. After I came to Suzhou, I didn't go there. Visit him, and now you can go after this incident."

Jing Lan once heard from Shen Wan that people who can play a big role are not easy to visit. Now that the shopkeeper Wu of Shenji Silk Shop has been falsely accused of being a Japanese, Shen Wan, who is the owner of Shenji Silk Shop, must also be implicated.Maybe soon, there will be officials from the Suzhou government to arrest Shen Wan.

So she hurriedly suggested: "Girl, I'll watch over everything at home, and you will be escorted by Jiang Huwei and others to meet your father's close friend, Mr. Huo, who is the judge of the Suzhou government."

Shen Wan nodded: "Okay, then I will take away the four guards headed by Guard Jiang, and leave two for you."

She asked Ping Fu to call Jing Lan back, so that Jing Lan could stay at home and mediate, so that she could go to Suzhou to meet her father's best friend, Huo Zhongkai, to find out whether someone was instigating and framing her in this lawsuit.

Afterwards, Shen Wan left Jinhe Town in the carriage, escorted by Jiang Huwei and four others, and went straight to Suzhou to Huo Zhongkai's private residence.

Within half an hour, Shen Wan and the others arrived outside the Huo family's mansion.

Jiang Huwei went forward with the greeting card, knocked on the door, gave it to the servants of the Huo family, and revealed Shen Wan's identity.

After a while, the servant came with a woman, and invited Shen Wan to come into the house to meet Huo Zhongkai's wife, Mrs. Jiang.

After Shen Wan entered the Huo family's inner house, she met Jiang Shi, and after paying her respects, Jiang asked Shen Wan to sit down and talk.

She said that she didn't expect Shen Wan to be so old and yet so beautiful. When she first met Shen Wan back then, Shen Wan was only one year old.

Shen Wan focused on why she came to Suzhou, and some things she did in Suzhou later, to Jiang.She focused on what happened in Shenji silk and satin village today. She said that she had been framed, so she came to Uncle Huo, a friend of her father's, for help.

Mrs. Jiang heard this and told Shen Wan not to worry, she immediately sent her family's servants to the Suzhou government office to inform her husband about this, presumably her husband would investigate clearly after knowing about this and give Shen Wan an answer.Now, she just needs to stay at Huo's house and wait for the news.

Shen Wan knew that there was no need to be in a hurry now, for the present plan, she could only wait for Uncle Huo to investigate this matter, and then find a way to wash away her grievances, as Jiang said.

However, Huo Zhongkai, who was working in the Suzhou government office, received a letter from his servants at home, opened it and read it, and found out that Shen Wan, the daughter of his best friend Shen Chang, had been wronged and implicated in a lawsuit related to Japan.

So, he immediately sent his men down to find out if there was a mission to arrest the shopkeeper of a shop named Shenji Silk and Satin Shop today, and which official was in charge of handling the case.

After a while, his subordinates came back to report to him, saying that Leisi Prison was in charge of the case, and that all the criminals in this case had not been arrested, nor had they obtained confessions, so they did not report to the magistrate.

Huo Zhongkai, as the general judge of the Suzhou government, has the right to know and inspect both civil and criminal cases, so he sent someone to immediately go to Lei Si Prison and asked him to bring the file of this case to him, and accept own inquiry.

At that time, Lei Si prison was asking his subordinates to intimidate shopkeeper Wu, making him admit that he was instigated by his boss, Shen Wan, to come into contact with the Japanese, and sold silk and satin worth thousands of taels of silver to the Japanese.

Shopkeeper Wu kept his mouth shut, of course he refused to admit that Shen Wan ordered him to sell silk to the so-called Japanese.He had repeatedly defended before, saying that he had no idea that the person who came to Shenji Silk and Satin Village to buy silk was a Japanese, let alone knew that Japanese.

Lei Siyu said with a sinister smile: "You think you don't know him if you don't know him? The Japanese confessed that he knew your boss and you. You all know that he is a Japanese, but you are ignorant of your conscience in order to make money. Forget about the imperial court's national law that prohibits the Japanese from communicating with Japanese."

"Where is that Japanese man? I want to confront him face to face and expose his lies!"

"Don't panic, when the time comes, you and your boss will meet this Japanese man in the court."

When shopkeeper Wu saw what he said, he guessed that he wanted to obtain his own confession, so he arrested his boss, Shen Wanlai, and sent them to the magistrate. He is at a disadvantage with his boss, Shen Wan.

Nine out of ten of the subordinate officials in these yamen handle such cases for money, and the remaining one wants to use this kind of case to get promoted.

Shopkeeper Wu tentatively said to Lei Siyu: "I used to be the shopkeeper of Taoji Silk and Satin Shop in Suzhou. My master sent me to help my old daughter open a silk and satin shop. If you are willing to forgive me a little, my master will be very grateful." ..."

He deliberately emphasized the tone when he said the four words of gratitude, it is impossible for Lei Si prison to fail to understand what it means.

If officials generally want to blackmail with this kind of case, they will definitely follow what shopkeeper Wu said, saying that it can be discussed.

Unexpectedly, Lei Siyu was furious, and slapped shopkeeper Wu, saying that he was an honest official working for the court, and that a profiteer like shopkeeper Wu wanted to bribe him, it was simply abhorrent.

After Wu shopkeeper was beaten, he immediately understood that the lawsuit might not be that simple. Someone must have framed him and bought out Leisi Prison first. This Leisi Prison is the face.

Now he can only insist on not making a confession, and not giving Lei Si prison any convincing evidence to arrest his boss, Shen Wan.He hoped that he could delay as much as possible, so that Shen Wan, the boss outside, could find a way to get himself out of this lawsuit.

Seeing that shopkeeper Wu was silent, Lei Siyu said sternly: "You don't want to recruit, right? I'll let the brothers smash your mouth open to see if it's your mouth or our hammer."

After finishing speaking, he waved his hand and asked his jailers to bring up a hammer, and asked them to hit shopkeeper Wu's mouth with the hammer.

Ordinary people who can stand a hammer hitting their mouth can knock out a few teeth with just one blow.

When shopkeeper Wu saw this, he also became scared, although he had already prepared, anticipating that he would be punished if he did not cooperate with Lei Si prison to confess.

Gritting his teeth tightly, shopkeeper Wu, who was about to try his best not to speak even if his teeth were smashed, closed his eyes.

Unexpectedly, the hammer in the hands of the vicious jailer did not fall the next moment.

I saw two well-dressed government officials coming outside the cell, asking Lei Si prison to take Shen Ji's silk and satin Zhuang Tongwo's dossier to see Huo Tongpan.

After hearing what the visitor said, Lei Shijuan's face suddenly changed, and he seemed a little flustered.

He bowed to the person who came, and said that he would take the file. The jailer under him heard that the judge was involved in the case, so he didn't dare to act rashly, and stepped aside.

Shopkeeper Wu escaped a catastrophe. He opened his eyes, looked gratefully at the two subordinate officials outside the cell, and said loudly that he was wronged. Lord Qingtian, please investigate this case clearly, and return the innocence to yourself and Shenji Silk and Satin Village.

One of the two subordinate officials said after hearing this: "Our lord judge will intervene in this case, and we will definitely investigate this case so that innocent people will not be wronged."

Afterwards, Lei Si Prison held the dossier of the Tongwo lawsuit, and followed the two subordinate officials under Huo Tongjun to meet his immediate boss, Huo Zhongkai.

After reading the file, Huo Zhongkai thought that there were too many doubts in this case. First of all, it was the identity of the Japanese, because the file said that this 44-year-old man named Luo Kaiyuan lived in Daming for 20 years, and now he was exposed by a person named Diao Qi. It is Japanese.

But this Diao Qi is only 23 years old, how did he know Luo Kaiyuan's Japanese identity.

Before the second year of Longqing, Daming had been closed for decades, and it was impossible for Luo Kaiyuan to buy silk and satin and ship it overseas to Japan to make money.If he was a Japanese, he would definitely hold on to his Japanese identity and make a living by other means of making a living. The 23-year-old Diao Qi did not know Luo Kaiyuan, so how did he find out Luo Kaiyuan's Japanese identity?

Looking at the dossier, it was just because Diao Qi came to the government office to make a report, Lei Si prison sent his men to arrest Luo Kaiyuan.So, is what Diao Qi said true?There is no one-word description in the dossier.This is partial listening and partial belief, which can easily lead to unjust cases.

As for Luo Kaiyuan's statement, he knew both shopkeeper Wu of Shenji Silk and Satin Village and his owner Shen Wan.There is nothing wrong with this sentence. A person who goes to Shenji Silk and Satin Village to buy a large amount of silk and satin for overseas sales has dealt with, talked to, or met Shopkeeper Wu and Shen Wan to some extent.

But then he said that shopkeeper Wu and Shen Wan knew that he was a Japanese, and sold him a large amount of silk and satin in order to make money, which is problematic.

Let me ask, is there any real Japanese who will tell the other party that he is a Japanese when buying silk.

But this Luo Kaiyuan took the initiative to let shopkeeper Wu and Shen Wan know, isn't this too unreasonable?

Shopkeeper Wu and Shen Wan knew that he was a Japanese, and they probably wouldn't do business with him. Would there be such a stupid Japanese who would say something that would ruin the business before buying the goods?

Therefore, this is a very big doubt, no matter how you look at it, it seems to be fabricating charges and framing.

After reading the dossier, Huo Zhongkai spoke out the problems he saw, and asked Lei Si prison to give him a reasonable explanation.

Lei Siyu was sweating profusely, of course he couldn't explain why.

At this time, Huo Zhongkai's face had turned cold, and he said that he would report this lawsuit to the prefect, and let the prefect personally try it.As for Luo Kaiyuan and shopkeeper Wu in the Fuya Prison, if something happened to them, then Leisi Prison would not be able to get rid of it.

Lei Si Prison suddenly knelt down towards Huo Zhongkai, and begged Huo Zhongkai not to report this case, otherwise, he would be finished.There is an eighty-year-old mother in his family and a three-year-old son, and he lives by this job.
