imperial princess

Chapter 211: Confession of a crime, official documents

Yang Zhao deliberately framed?

Just from appearance, he doesn't look like someone who would casually accuse him of false accusations, but because Rong Lan's words are indeed reasonable, Yang Zhao's fierce resistance before is the best proof. Somewhat doubtful, the eyes that glanced secretly carried a little scrutiny and doubt.

With Ye Zhao's keenness, how could he not sense their sneak peeks?

These people are really funny. They don't care about other people's grievances and pains. On the contrary, they are very interested in those unwarranted gossips. It is no wonder that the original owner of the previous life was harmed so badly. They don't care about the truth at all. Victims, if Rong Lan is the chief culprit who killed the original owner, they are the accomplices.

"Rong Lan, don't bully people too much, can't we all be fools?"

Too lazy to care about those people, Ye Zhao hugged Rong Che's hand tightly, implying that he should not be mad at himself, and a sneer of Chi Guoguo quickly slid across the depths of his phoenix eyes: "What is it that you can't find other witnesses in the dead of night?" ?Most of the people here should have had the experience of being drunk. I don’t deny that there are indeed cases of telling the truth after drinking, but you seem to have forgotten one thing. Most people who are drunk have difficulty controlling themselves, especially when they are crying As far as I know, although the Rong family is not located in the center of the village, it is also in a place where the villagers are densely populated. There are neighbors in front, back, left, and right. It is precisely because it is late at night that people should hear it. Isn’t it loud? In the end, you don’t have witnesses, but I do.”

"what?!"

What evidence does he have?

The smile on Rong Lan's face couldn't hold back anymore, and the Rong family, Li Zheng and the others couldn't help being taken aback, wondering what his so-called witness certificate was?It can't be witnessed from the beginning to the end, or let the dead Rong Laosan get up and explain by himself?

"Third Uncle..."

"Don't you, I can't stand you calling uncle."

After a brief silence, Rong Lan pretended to say something again, but Ye Zhao raised his hand to stop her, ignoring her anger, and after looking at everyone present with her phoenix eyes in turn, she slowly said: "I have a certificate, you can It proves that the third brother left the house for at most two or three quarters of an hour. The first personal certificate is that the third brother sent back those villagers. When did they arrive home? , you all remember when Che'er came to find you, right? Comparing the two, although we can't get the exact time, we can probably figure out how long the third brother has been outside. According to Rong Lan, three Brother not only cried and complained, but also insisted on pulling them over, at least it would take more than half an hour, the time difference in between is not too small."

He admitted that Rong Lan was very smart and knew that the ancients had a very vague concept of time, especially poor farmers, most of them judged the time based on experience, and there was no proof of death, so no one would find it strange if she made any nonsense, and some people might suspect it at first. It will also affect their reputation, but it is better to doubt than to be sure that they are mad at the third child, right?Moreover, as long as she finds a way to benefit the village in the future, who will remember that little shit?

Her confidence comes from her familiarity with the plot. She knows that the original owner is highly resistant to pressure and can tolerate it. If it doesn't endanger her life, she probably won't resist. Besides, although Rong Che is the absolute protagonist, she is still young, no matter how upset she is. , and didn't have the ability to refute her. In the end, Lizheng was waiting for someone. They made it clear that they would only get along with each other, and they didn't want to do anything, even if they felt something was wrong, they wouldn't say much.

It's a pity that he is not the original owner. Even if he decided to show weakness, he didn't intend to compromise or wrong himself. The more she wants to clean up, the more he will make her covered in shit. No one in the Rong family can run away.

"···"

He obviously didn't expect that they would be involved again, and Li Zhengwai didn't have time to be curious anymore, the muscles at the corners of his mouth twitched uncontrollably, his mind was full of how to separate the relationship.

"Third Uncle's words are very reasonable."

Enduring and enduring, Rong Lan almost exhausted her two lifetimes of self-control to suppress her anger, and said as calmly as possible: "But, when my third uncle came to our house, my father was just about to send my aunt back to her husband's house. I saw him when I opened the door, and quickly pulled him into the yard without letting him yell outside, and he didn't cry for a long time, he did whatever he said he wanted to do, and soon took the grandma and the others to the house Yes, at most a quarter of an hour, not more than half an hour as you said."

In other words, even if he found those witnesses, it was impossible to directly overturn their statements.

However, Rong Lan knew very well that this statement was too far-fetched, but the matter had progressed to this point, and she could no longer tolerate her rebuttal, so she could only try her best to justify her statement, even if it was full of loopholes, she must be killed. Rong Laosan went to them first of.

"Is that right?"

With a faint rhetorical question, Ye Zhao lowered his eyelids, seemingly unable to refute, but in fact left a lot of room for imagination for everyone present. This matter was not clear at all. After his troubles, is there any evidence? It doesn't matter, everyone should know it in their hearts. If he continues to argue, it is really possible to leave a deep impression of him being angry and slandering. On the contrary, his pass is more likely to stimulate the imagination of others and generate countless associations. Unexpectedly, they will overwhelm the third child tomorrow and take advantage of his illness to kill him. The story of bullying the orphans and widows will spread throughout the village. It is even more difficult.

"···"

Damn!

Sensing the skeptical gazes of Chi Guoguo from everyone, Rong Lan also realized that she had lost this battle, the defeat was a mess, and she couldn't help feeling a little bit angry, but she was indeed smart and knew what to say. The more I made, the more mistakes I made, and I had to order myself not to argue aloud.

"The deceased did not have any fatal injuries on the surface, and there was no sign of poisoning. Combined with the fact that he was drunk before his death and became angry again, it can basically be concluded that the sudden death was caused by an emergency caused by anger."

Simply put, he was pissed off!

The results of Wu's autopsy confirmed the evil deeds of the Rong family even more. Everyone's eyes on them changed. If they treated their relatives so viciously, let alone others?From Lizheng to the villagers, everyone is secretly vigilant against themselves, and must tell their family members to stay away from Rong's family after returning, otherwise they will be killed one day without knowing what happened.

"The deceased's wife and children and everyone who had quarreled with the deceased should come with us."

Now that the cause of death has been found out, there is no need for them to stay. As for whether the Rong family will pay for the dead, that is the matter of the official.

"No, no... um..."

When they heard that they were going to the Yamen, the whole Rong family was really scared. The old lady Rong made a gesture and wanted to cry again, but Rong Lan took the first step and covered her mouth, not caring whether it would be ugly or suspicious, and attached herself to her He whispered in his ear: "Grandma, stop arguing, the people who can make the decisions are not them, but the officials. As long as you insist that the third uncle came to the door first, it shouldn't be a big deal."

It's hard for upright officials to break up housework, they just quarreled with Rong Laosan, and didn't do anything, let alone beat him to death, they wouldn't pay for their lives, at most they would be interrogated, and then they would get a bad reputation.

"Okay...you won't come with us?"

Hearing this, the old lady Rong nodded quickly, and then stared at her displeasedly, Rong Lan was speechless immediately, and had to be patient and said: "The elder brother only asks those who have quarreled with the third uncle to go to the yamen, and I didn't go to the yamen with them." He is arguing, besides, if I get into it too, there will be some accident, who will save us?"

The dead old woman is too vicious, she is still an unmarried girl, she is not afraid of ruining her reputation?No matter what, she will not let herself get involved in it, and throw her face to the county government. Besides, she will go to the capital to enjoy the blessings with the protagonist in the future. black history?

"is it?"

At this time, Old Madam Rong became shrewd, and Rong Lan was so angry that her heart ached, she wished she could slap her two big mouths.

"Have you finished? Let's go."

Seeing them not moving, the yamen servant urged impatiently.

"Okay, okay, come here, come here..."

The Rong family was shocked and had to follow tremblingly. Ye Zhao, on the other hand, seemed to be a little shy and hugged Rong Che, but in fact he was full of peace of mind. Seeing that Rong Lan was not with them, he was not surprised. , how could it be possible to get myself involved?It's a pity that if she doesn't go, she won't be able to clean things up in this life.

As Lizheng, Zhao Sheng will definitely follow, and the other villages will go back to their homes, and there is no need to make do.

Qingquan Village is built on the mountain, backed by dense mountains thousands of miles deep, and the entrance of the village is only two or three miles away from the official road. It is very convenient to go to Kanglan Prefecture or the Yacheng Pool of Lingyang County. It takes about an hour to walk back and forth.

By the time they entered the county government office in Lingyang City, it was almost Yin time, and no one dared to disturb the official at this time. The yamen servants threw them in the hall, and it was not until around Chenshi, when the sky was completely bright, that the official went up to the hall to ask questions. .

Unsurprisingly, the Rong family insisted that it was Rong Laosan who came to them first, but they were not as smart as Rong Lan in terms of brains or words, so Ye Zhao easily got them in. Unfortunately, they were real. They didn't do anything, the imperial court didn't have relevant laws about angering relatives to death, and the official only sentenced them to [-] boards of responsibility each as a warning.

"Bump..."

"Ahhh..."

In the courtroom, the yamen servants holding high sticks were merciless, beating everyone in the Rong family crying and wailing. The picture should not be too beautiful, but neither Ye Zhao nor Rong Che expressed their happiness, because, at thirty The big board is far from being able to dispel their hatred, especially Rong Che, after all Rong Lao San is his biological father, and it is not easy to pull him up all these years.

"My lord, Caomin has something to ask, and I hope your lord will allow it."

Throwing Rong Che a soothing look, Ye Zhao let go of his fists and faced the hall.

"Speak."

Orphans and widows are indeed pitiful, and the county magistrate, who is about [-] years old, did not blindly deny it.

"Thank you sir."

Bowing again, Ye Zhao pulled Rong Che over and raised his head and said, "My lord, you have also seen how vicious this family is. Although the third brother has separated a long time ago, they still rely on the name of their relatives. I was so angry with him, now they might be a little jealous in the classroom, maybe in the future they will heal their scars and forget the pain, and they will bully us orphans and widows by virtue of their status as elders, please be the master for us, completely sever relations with them, If they bother us without authorization, or break into our house in an unreasonable manner, they will all be punished as robbers."

The reason why he was willing to take this trip and waited patiently for so long was for this purpose. As long as there was a document from the county government, the Rong family would no longer be able to rob Rong Lao San's property in the name of his relatives, or Sure enough, bullying came to the door, although he was not afraid, but he felt annoyed from the bottom of his heart, Rong Lan was disgusting enough.

"I'm afraid that's against the rules."

The county magistrate was a little hesitant. He could make the decision on the severance document, but it seemed a bit serious to punish him in the name of a bandit.

On the other hand, unless necessary, Zhao Sheng, who has always been silent, frowned and disapproved. It would be embarrassing enough for the Rong family to be so angry that Rong Lao San would be ashamed. Let him ask for that kind of official document and pass it on. How would you view Qingquan Village, and how would you view him as Li Zheng?How can the villagers go out to meet people in the future?It's just a shame.

"My lord, rules are dead and people are alive. All the rules in the world are made by people. You are the master of Qingtian, our parents and officials. What grass people want is peace of mind and dependence. Please look at us orphans and widows. For the sake of difficulty, please help us."

He used to be a queen, and played many different roles. How could he not understand why the county magistrate hesitated?In order to achieve his goal, he doesn't mind continuing to sell miserably, and by the way, give him a high hat.

"Well, that makes sense."

The sentence "Master Qingtian" was decisively slapped on the horse's ass. The county magistrate groaned for a while, and finally nodded and said: "Okay, these people are indeed hateful and hateful. For the sake of you father and son, this magistrate is very special." Forgive me, I will issue official documents for you."

For him, this is just a matter of lifting a finger.

"Thank you sir."

Hearing this, Ye Zhao hurriedly pulled Rong Che to thank him, with a look of gratitude, but...

"My lord, there seems to be something wrong with this matter, the government..."

After thinking over and over again, Lizheng stood out frowning, but Ye Zhao seemed to have been prepared, and didn't give him a chance to finish speaking. He turned around and asked angrily, "What's wrong? Could it be that Lizheng didn't understand them?" Is it rare for them to bully the third brother and his son these years? Can you guarantee that they will not take revenge in the future? They will not take advantage of their status as elders and their numbers to bully our orphans and widows? As long as you, Zhao Lizheng, dare to act in front of adults Guaranteed to my face, and promised that if something happens, I will take full responsibility, and I will not bother you, do you dare?"

Dog, in his mind, what is the life and death of others?He really thought he was Li Zheng, equivalent to the village head, so he wouldn't dare to make a fuss about him?

"you you you···"

Obviously he didn't expect him to be so eloquent, Zhao Sheng leaned back angrily, pointing at him tremblingly like a chicken claw going crazy, but he didn't understand why for a long time.

"The matter is settled like this. Come here and write the paperwork."

Seeing this, the county magistrate's expression darkened. From his point of view, Zhao Sheng was helping the family at all. Thinking about it carefully, he always seemed to avoid the important things when asking questions.

"Thank you sir."

"Yes Yes Yes···"

Ye Zhao thanked him again, realizing that the county master was a little annoyed, and Zhao Sheng had no choice but to obsequiously agree. For the time being, he can't care about hating Ye Zhao, but there will definitely be a thorn in his heart in the future. As for whether he will have a chance to get it back, Then only later will we know.
