In the lobby of the prefect, the yamen servants stood in two shifts holding killing sticks.
When he was young, Lu Wenzheng came out from the back hall wearing an official uniform and led his master and scribes. The master followed Lu Wenzheng to the plaque hanging high in the mirror and stood with his hands behind his back. Lu Wenzheng sat down firmly in front of the stool.
Seeing that Lu Wen was sitting firmly, the scribe sat down at the small long table beside him, spread out the paper in front of him, and picked up the pen.
Seeing that everyone was getting ready, Lu Wenzheng picked up the gavel and patted it down: "Come on, bring the plaintiff!"
"mighty......"
When I was young, the yamen servant outside the hall brought Cheng Yi into the hall.
"Student Cheng Yi pays his respects to the lord." Cheng Yi bowed his head.
Lu Wenzheng nodded, Nantong Mansion Xinzhong has a list of candidates in the government office, and Cheng Yi is famous, so he can avoid kneeling when he sees an official.
"Jurengong beat the drums to appeal for grievances, who to sue?"
"My lord, the student sued my uncle of the same clan, plotting the family property, and being ungrateful." Cheng Yi took out the pleading paper from his sleeve and raised his hands to his forehead, "I have the pleading paper, sir, please have a look."
Shen Wenchang slipped out of the Lu's house through the small door and came to the front of the hall. Seeing Mrs. Cheng and Liniang beside her, and Hongfei, Fugui and Jinwen behind, she hurriedly stepped forward to say hello: "Mother, younger sister, fourth younger brother complained today, why didn't you inform me?" And me?"
When Aunt Cheng saw that it was Shen Wenchang, she said, "Nephew, I just wanted to find you just now. I thought you would accompany the bride back to the house today, so I don't want to run afoul of you. Nephew, don't think too much about it."
"Ma'am, my fourth brother and I are close friends, even if I have important matters, I still have to come to the trial." Shen Wenchang put away his playful air, with a bit of worry on his face.
"You are all good children." Mrs. Cheng was quite moved. Before her daughter became sworn brothers with these children, everything was discussed by them. Now that there are more caring juniors, the confidence in her heart is inexplicable. up.
In the classroom, Lu Wenzheng finished reading the pleadings, and lamented in his heart, the master of the Cheng family had kindly brought his mother and brother to live in the mansion, and never wanted to lure wolves into the house. If this is true, it is really chilling.
"Come here, go spread the word about Cheng Xinxun, the owner of Shengxuantang."
As soon as these words came out, the last class of government servants led out, and after half a stick of incense, they brought Cheng Yi's uncle, Cheng Xinxun, to the lobby.
"Xiaomin Cheng Xinxun kowtowed to see the magistrate." Cheng Xinxun knelt in the middle of the hall.
"Cheng Xinxun, Cheng Juren is suing you for forcibly occupying the house, seizing the family property, and driving his father to death. Can you plead guilty?"
"Go back to the magistrate, this matter has nothing to do with it, you are being wronged." Cheng Xinxun knelt down and cried out for injustice.
"Jurengong, do you have evidence in hand?" Lu Wenzheng looked at Cheng Yi and asked.
"Returning to your lord, the current residence of Cheng Xinxun's family was purchased by the late father from the squire of Fu County. After the death of the father, the son should inherit it, but he forcibly occupied it and drove the students, mother and son to the manor."
"Your Excellency, you are wronged. The house was rented by Xiaomin's younger brother. After Xiaomin's younger brother passed away, Xiaomin bought it." Cheng Xinxun took out the deed from his sleeve as he spoke, "This is the deed, sir. Please have a look."
"My lord, this deed is fake. The real deed is in the hands of the student." Cheng Yi took out the deed from his sleeve and presented it.
Lu Wenzheng handed over the two house deeds to the master who was at the side. After distinguishing them, the master said: "My lord, it's strange. The official seals on the two house deeds are all real. There has always been only one chapter in the house deed. This..."
After hearing the words, Lu Wenzheng took over the deed, pondered for a moment and said, "Your Excellency, do you know the name of the county gentry in Fu County?"
"The squire lives in the west of Fu County, his name is Gao Chengde, and he is quite prestigious in the local area." Cheng Yi replied unhurriedly.
Lu Wenzheng heard the words and looked at the master: "The master will invite you in person, and invite the magistrate of Fu County to come here."
"Yes, my lord." The master took the order and left in a hurry.
Cheng Xinxun shuddered when he heard the words. All these years, he had been bribing the magistrates of Fu County in order to prevent Cheng Yi from suing him one day.The most hateful thing is that Gao Chengde, at such a young age, he doesn't even love money, even if he is a thousand taels of gold, he is unwilling to tear up the old transaction certificate.
"Cheng Xinxun, when I asked my younger brother to bring your family to Nantong, I thought it was a kindness to you. Why did you let my younger brother pass away and treat your younger siblings and nephews so poorly?"
Cheng Xinxun secretly suppressed the panic in his heart, and replied: "My lord, it's really that their mother and son took the resentment of my brother's death on me, and they just didn't want to accept my favor."
"My lord, after my father passed away, he dismissed the old servants, occupied the house and shop, and treated my mother and son harshly for a long time." Cheng Yi clenched his fists, and the villain's sophistry was really hateful.
"Don't be impatient, Jurengong. Cheng Dong's family, Juren announced that you have taken over the shop. Do you have an explanation? Then Shengxuantang should be your younger brother's business." Lu Wenzheng winked at Lu Ping who was on the side, and Lu Ping turned around knowingly and left.
"My lord, before my brother passed away, Sheng Xuantang was heavily in debt, so he died of grief and anger. My brother passed away, and my nephew was young, so Xuantang made the decision and I took over."
"Although Jurengong was young at the time, I had to let you take over, but this business belongs to my brother after all. I don't know if Jurengong can get a share in the shop right now?" Lu Wenzheng tapped his hands on the pleading paper.
"Back to the adults, they were given in the first year, but their mother and child didn't want it." Cheng Xinxun replied, "Besides, when Xiaomin took over, Shengxuantang was a mess. After Xiaomin took over, he just rejuvenated. Xiaomin thought that he had enough food and clothing for his mother and child. Benevolence and righteousness.” Since taking over Shengxuantang, he has bribed a lot of Fu County officials, and he has bought all the army’s clothing and food from him.
"Heh, according to my uncle, my mother and son are fools, why don't we share it as a matter of course?" Cheng Yi retorted.
Cheng Xinxun turned his head and remained silent.
At this time, the master hurried in: "My lord, Mr. Gao and Mr. Fu County, please come."
After finishing the words, Gao Chengde walked up the hall leaning on a cane: "My lord."
"Gao first, please start."
"My lord, I will see you." The magistrate of Fu County bowed upwards.
"Please come from your county. This matter happened in your county. Let's listen to the trial." Lu Wenzheng said and looked at the master. The master moved a chair from the second hall and put it on the bottom. The magistrate of Fu County sat down full of thoughts.
"Mr. Gao, I'm asking you to intervene this time. I want to ask you. Did Cheng Juren's father buy the house from you or Cheng Xin and Cheng's boss bought the house from you?"
"My lord, this old man doesn't know Cheng Xin and Mr. Cheng's family. He only knows Mr. Cheng Xin and Mr. Cheng who donate porridge and disaster relief."
Hearing this, Lu Wenzheng looked at Cheng Xinxun who was kneeling on the ground, picked up the gavel and patted it down.
"Cheng Xinxun, what else do you have to say?"
"My lord, Xiaomin was wronged. After Brother Wu passed away, this man came to the house and said that the lease term has expired. If we don't rent out the money, he will drive us away. Xiaomin believed it, so he bought a house from him and paid the money on the same day. Handing over the deed with one hand, Xiaomin even specially asked someone to check the authenticity of the deed, and that person can say that the official seal is true."
"You!!!" Mr. Gao covered his heart when he heard the words, his face flushed and said: "The villain slanders, his heart can be punished!"
Lu Wenzheng didn't see well, so he stood up: "Master, quickly help Mr. Gao to the second hall, and quickly invite the doctor to come."
"Yes, my lord," the master stepped off the stage in a hurry, and helped Mr. Gao out of the lobby.
Cheng Yi stared angrily at the enemy in front of her. She never imagined that this person could argue with all the evidence.
Outside the hall, Mrs. Cheng swayed angrily, but fortunately she was supported by Liniang.
"Mother, how are you?" Liniang asked with concern as she supported her mother-in-law with a flustered expression.
Aunt Cheng waved her hand: "It's okay, I just got angry with this beast."
"Why is this man such a rascal, I really want to beat him up." Shen Wenchang was furious, how could there be such a face in the world.
"Yes, it makes my hands itch." Tang Hongfei rubbed his hands. He hated injustice the most in his life, especially when it happened to his fourth brother.
Lu Wenzheng sat down again, took a picture of the gavel and said, "There is only one house deed in the past, why are there two for this house? Even if Mr. Gao is the troublemaker according to what you said, is it possible that the Yamen is also at the mercy of him?"
"My lord, I don't know about this little man."
Lu Wenzheng couldn't help but admire him when he heard the words, so I don't know.
"Can your county explain it to the government?" Lu Wenzheng looked at the magistrate of Fu County.
The magistrate of Fu County accepted the two house deeds presented by the master, with cold sweat on his forehead. When Cheng Xinxun asked him to make a fake house deed, he agreed without hesitation. Never see the sun again.
"This matter was neglected by the lower officials, and the lower officials are guilty, please punish me." The magistrate of Fu County couldn't sit still anymore, stood up and knelt down.
At this time, Lu Ping came back, followed by two women, an old couple and a middle-aged man.
"My lord, I went to Fu County just now. After many inquiries, I found out that almost all the people in the family were dismissed after the death of the master of the Cheng family. I thought that I would return without success. Who would have thought that on the way back to the government office, I would meet the old man of the Cheng family and say that he wanted to do something for the young man?" The master and the mistress bear witness."
After Lu Ping's words fell, all the old servants of the Cheng family knelt down one after another: "See the prefect."
"Well, why were you all dismissed back then? But what happened that was unknown?"
"Returning to my lord, the little old man is the housekeeper of the house. After the master passed away, everyone in the family obeyed the arrangement of the wife. After the master was buried, the old lady sent me to go, saying that the master had just passed away, and the family could not be without a master. Let me take the lead." Respect the master of the Cheng family as the master. The little old man is favored by the Cheng family, how can he do something to force the mistress to hand over power, and there are still young masters in the house, so it is unreasonable to think that the master of the Cheng family is the master. After the little old man refused, the old man The people were furious and forced my wife to fire me with death, and once my husband and I left, all the servants of the Cheng family were fired and changed families."
"My lord, don't listen to his nonsense. It is clear that he saw my brother's death, and he was malicious and stole money. My mother found out, so he was fired."
"You!!!" The old man was furious when he heard the words, "You spitting blood."
"My lord, I am willing to testify that after the master passed away, he and the old lady co-operated to persecute the madam. Not only that, the master kindly let him into the shop, but who knew that he colluded with the big shopkeeper, embezzled the money for the goods, and concealed several orders. Report, the master is really mad at them." The middle-aged man kneeling next to him suddenly said, "After I was resigned, I went to the county government to file a complaint, but I was beaten out by the county magistrate. Complaining about grievances everywhere, who knows that my little master is fighting for his spirit, and this time the high school raises people, it is really the master's spirit."
Cheng Yi listened to the past, tears welling up in his eyes.Thinking of the past, I feel grief and indignation beyond words. Although I was young at that time, I knew that there was a wolf living in the house. The worst thing was her grandmother. If she hadn't forced her to die, how could my mother hand over power? Unfilial piety is the most serious thing in this world, who would not follow?
After being promoted in high school, in order to appeal for grievances, she secretly visited her servants back then. Fortunately, many people with conscience were willing to testify for her.
"Gui County, why are you involved here?" Lu Wenzheng squinted his eyes, "Why didn't someone file a complaint and kick him out of the lobby?"
The county magistrate of Fu County hurriedly said: "My lord, it's been a long time ago, and I can't remember my humble position."
"I can't remember one." Lu Wenzheng snorted, looked at Cheng Xinxun who was kneeling and asked, "Cheng Dong's family, just now, what the old Cheng family said, do you believe it?"
"My lord, it must be my good nephew who bribed these people. They have no real evidence."
"My lord, the villain has it. The account books he and the big shopkeeper secretly kept in the hands of Xiao Min, please have a look." The middle-aged man tremblingly took out two account books from his arms, opened the blue cloth wrapped outside, Carefully lifted the ledger up.
"You, okay, so it was you that night." Cheng Xinxun lost his composure, stood up, and pinched the middle-aged man's neck fiercely with both hands.
"Presumptuous!" Lu Wenzheng was furious, Lu Ping hurriedly stepped forward and pulled Cheng Xinxun away, "Kneel down, the court is heavy, how can you allow presumptuousness."
Seeing that Cheng Xinxun was subdued, the clerk hurried forward and took the account book. After doing the math in class, he quickly presented it to Lu Wenzheng: "My lord, there are dozens of unreported payments recorded on it, which are already stolen. One page, it also records 2000 taels of silver as filial piety to the county grandpa."
As soon as these words came out, the county magistrate swayed, and Cheng Xinxun also slumped on the ground.
Lu Wenzheng picked up the gavel and took a heavy shot: "Guixian, you are so brave."
The Magistrate of Fu County's legs gave way, and he knelt down. The scholar had studied hard for decades, and now it's all over.
"My lord." At this time, the master hurried out from the second hall, "Mr. Gao slowed down, and the transaction certificate of the year can prove his innocence."
Lu Wenzheng took it for a look, and said to Cheng Yi and Cheng Xinxun: "This is the end of the matter, we should ask about the house deed. Buyers and sellers have always kept certificates for each other. Maybe you two will show them?"
Cheng's mother outside the hall heard the words and took out the voucher from her sleeve with trembling hands: "My lord, we have it, we have it."
Upon seeing this, the master hurried forward to take it and handed it to Lu Wenzheng.
After comparison, Lu Wenzheng handed it over to the magistrate of Fuxian County: "For the sake of notarization, please tell everyone whether this handwriting seal is the same?"
The magistrate of Fu County took a quick look and wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "It's the same."
Lu Wenzheng then looked at Cheng Xinxun: "Does Cheng Dong's family have a certificate?"
Cheng Xinxun knew it was over, and remained silent.
Lu Wenzheng took a picture of the gavel: "Cheng Xinxun was ungrateful, colluded with others, and conspired to seize family wealth. There are all witnesses and physical evidence. He will be detained first and will be convicted after the government reports to the Ministry of Criminal Justice. From now on, all property under his name will belong to Cheng Yi." .”
Hearing this, Cheng Yi knelt down: "Master Xie is the master for the students!"
Outside the hall, Mrs. Cheng also knelt down: "Thank you, Master Qingtian!"
"Fuxian accepts bribes, the evidence is solid, he is in custody pending trial, and he is out of court!!!"
"mighty......"
Standing outside the hall, Shen Wenchang looked at his father-in-law who had already stood up. For the first time, he felt that his father-in-law was so mighty.
When he was young, Lu Wenzheng came out from the back hall wearing an official uniform and led his master and scribes. The master followed Lu Wenzheng to the plaque hanging high in the mirror and stood with his hands behind his back. Lu Wenzheng sat down firmly in front of the stool.
Seeing that Lu Wen was sitting firmly, the scribe sat down at the small long table beside him, spread out the paper in front of him, and picked up the pen.
Seeing that everyone was getting ready, Lu Wenzheng picked up the gavel and patted it down: "Come on, bring the plaintiff!"
"mighty......"
When I was young, the yamen servant outside the hall brought Cheng Yi into the hall.
"Student Cheng Yi pays his respects to the lord." Cheng Yi bowed his head.
Lu Wenzheng nodded, Nantong Mansion Xinzhong has a list of candidates in the government office, and Cheng Yi is famous, so he can avoid kneeling when he sees an official.
"Jurengong beat the drums to appeal for grievances, who to sue?"

"Cheng Xinxun, what else do you have to say?"

As soon as these words came out, the county magistrate swayed, and Cheng Xinxun also slumped on the ground.

"My lord." At this time, the master hurried out from the second hall, "Mr. Gao slowed down, and the transaction certificate of the year can prove his innocence."
Lu Wenzheng took it for a look, and said to Cheng Yi and Cheng Xinxun: "This is the end of the matter, we should ask about the house deed. Buyers and sellers have always kept certificates for each other. Maybe you two will show them?"
Cheng's mother outside the hall heard the words and took out the voucher from her sleeve with trembling hands: "My lord, we have it, we have it."
Upon seeing this, the master hurried forward to take it and handed it to Lu Wenzheng.
After comparison, Lu Wenzheng handed it over to the magistrate of Fuxian County: "For the sake of notarization, please tell everyone whether this handwriting seal is the same?"
The magistrate of Fu County took a quick look and wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "It's the same."
Lu Wenzheng then looked at Cheng Xinxun: "Does Cheng Dong's family have a certificate?"
Cheng Xinxun knew it was over, and remained silent.
Lu Wenzheng took a picture of the gavel: "Cheng Xinxun was ungrateful, colluded with others, and conspired to seize family wealth. There are all witnesses and physical evidence. He will be detained first and will be convicted after the government reports to the Ministry of Criminal Justice. From now on, all property under his name will belong to Cheng Yi." .”
Hearing this, Cheng Yi knelt down: "Master Xie is the master for the students!"
Outside the hall, Mrs. Cheng also knelt down: "Thank you, Master Qingtian!"
"Fuxian accepts bribes, the evidence is solid, he is in custody pending trial, and he is out of court!!!"
"mighty......"
Standing outside the hall, Shen Wenchang looked at his father-in-law who had already stood up. For the first time, he felt that his father-in-law was so mighty.
