"What happened?"
"Yes, what's the big fuss? Tell me!"
Everyone put down their tea bowls, their eyes shining brightly.
The cold weather in winter is not as comfortable as spring, summer and autumn. Apart from walking around at home or going out to drink tea, it is really boring.
There was suddenly a lot of excitement, and everyone was excited.
It was the first time that the visitor had received so much attention, and became the focus of everyone's eyes, so he danced excitedly and shouted, "Someone killed someone in Qingmu Town! He wanted to kill people and rob others of their wealth, and he was also planning to kill people and silence them. Fortunately, he was met by Uncle Zhongshan and saved. He is currently reviewing a case in the government office!"
Everyone was confused after hearing this.
Kill and silence? Seizing family wealth?
It does sound serious, but why did he get involved with Uncle Zhongshan? !
Someone was afraid of making a mistake and asked loudly, "The Zhongshan uncle you are talking about is the one from Suijintan?"
"Yes," the messenger nodded repeatedly, "it's Uncle Li who personally brought the suffering master to the house. The government is filing a complaint!"
"Oh, the Li family are not meddlesome people. I'm afraid there is something fishy about this matter."
"Yeah, I heard that this Uncle Li doesn't even come to Kyoto except for court meetings. He is very low-key."
"Let's go and see what's going on!"
"Let's go together, I'll go too!"
Everyone was talking about it, then hurriedly threw down the tea money and rushed to the government office together.
The front of the government office has been blocked with water.
In the courtroom, Lord Fu Yin sat behind the desk, and Master stood beside him.
Li Yusheng was sitting on a chair on the side of the hall. He was wearing a green gown and a black mantle embroidered with green bamboo, looking calm and noble.
Mr. Fu Yin and Master couldn't help but look at it a few more times and sighed in their hearts.
The last time we met was when Wang Xinqiu sued the Wang family.
At that time, Li Yusheng was just a farmer who had just escaped from the famine in the North. When he came to the court, he could only kneel.
But now, Li Yusheng not only has the qualifications to sit firmly in the court, but they even have to respect him.
It has to be said that things are changing, and no one should be underestimated.
It's so amazing to encounter this thing!
Thinking like this, Mr. Fu Yin cupped his hands and asked, "Uncle, I brought people to play drums today, but is there something wrong?"
Li Yusheng didn't ask for help, stood up and saluted, and said with a smile: "Sir, what happened a few days ago? Later, I was walking on the street and saw a brother and sister who were being chased and beaten to death. I couldn't help but save them.
"In the past two days, the brother and sister had just recovered a little bit, and they said that my grandmother had been arrested and the family's wealth was gone." It has been occupied, and my grandmother may have been killed. Please help our family, they want justice.
"Your Excellency knows that our family has been murdered before, and we share the same problem. I really couldn't bear it, so I helped. I had my servants arrest the people who were chasing the siblings, but as for whether they killed them I have to bother you, sir, to interrogate you."
After saying that, he handed over his hands again and sat down.
Mr. Fu Yin nodded, and everyone in the hall understood.
The Li family just couldn't bear to see it, and they couldn't stand it.
He did not support the victim, nor did he intend to interfere in the interrogation of the case.
But Li Yusheng is sitting here, and he is the one who caught the bad guy. In the final analysis, he is helping the sufferer.
Mr. Fu Yin nodded and looked at Gong Yunshu and his sister.
Gong Yunshu's face was pale, and he was kneeling down. He was teetering and could fall down at any time, but he persisted with all his strength, still supporting his brother with his right hand.
The younger brother's leg was broken, his head was bandaged like a rice dumpling, and his forehead was faintly bloody. Looking at the four or five men who were tied up, all of them were tall and tall...
Mr. Fu Yin frowned, and he couldn't help but feel biased towards the Gong family siblings.
This case was not complicated to begin with. Li Yusheng was not the only one who saw the Gong siblings nearly being beaten to death on the street. He just opened his mouth and saved them.
Therefore, several men from the Gong family were convicted of hurting others.
What we want to ask is just where the old lady of the Gong family is and whether she is alive or dead.
Several men from the Gong family were hesitating, especially Gong Wu, who was the leader that day, and his words showed a guilty conscience.
So, Lord Fu Yin ordered at that time to bring him twenty boards.
Gong Wu was beaten until he cried like a ghost, and finally confessed that he had imprisoned Mrs. Gong in a wooden house in the mountains.
More than a dozen officers immediately rushed to Qingmu Town.
Coincidentally, as soon as they left the city, they met the mayor of Qingmu Town and others, who escorted a cart over.
As soon as he saw the officer, the mayor stopped him and said hurriedly: "Master officer, you came so fast! Something happened in our Qingmu Town. The old lady of the Gong family came back to life. No, she was buried underground and died on the mountain. It's gone!"
What he said was a little confusing, and the guards also had a headache after hearing it. They simply checked the body and confirmed that it was the old lady of the Gong family they were looking for, so they escorted the cart back to the government office.
The idlers watching the excitement outside the government office shouted and moved out of the way. Everyone was scared, but they couldn't help but raise their feet and look around, wanting to take a few more glances.
Soon, Mrs. Gong's body was brought to the court.
The old lady, who was originally rich and plump, has turned into a human-shaped firewood stick after half a month. Not to mention the Gong siblings crying half to death, even outsiders couldn't help but sigh when they saw her.
"It's so miserable!"
"Yes, he starved to death, otherwise he couldn't be so thin!"
"The Gong family is considered a big family in Qingmu Town. I heard that life was very good, but the old lady actually ended up like this. "
Everyone was talking a lot, and when they looked at Gong Wu and the others, they became even more disgusted.
How cruel does it take to throw the old lady into a mountain hut and starve to death!
Gong Wu was also scared out of his mind. He was afraid that outsiders would see him, so he thought of hiding the old lady there and occasionally giving her food and drink. After all, he wanted to use her to force Gong Yunshu and his sister to obey.
But he drank too much that night, went to the city to play the next day, slept in the city, and the third day...
In short, he didn't even take care of his mother, so how could he take a "tool man" to his heart? .
By the time he remembered it, it was already seven or eight days later.
Even a fool could guess that the old lady was afraid of death, which made him even more afraid to look at her.
Besides, the Gong family siblings had already entered Broken Gold Beach, so it wasn't a big problem for the old lady to live or die...
He made countless excuses for himself and didn't even take a look at the wooden house.
I originally planned to celebrate the New Year, but things were completely over, so I looked for an opportunity to bury the old lady.
Who would have thought that Gong Yunshu's sister and brother would go back on their word and actually join the Li family in taking them to court, and the old lady who died of starvation was also brought in.
He always felt that the old lady's unclosed eyes were staring at him.
He tried his best to find a place to hide, but Hua's butt was so painful that he couldn't move it, so he collapsed and screamed, "It's not me, wuwu, it's not that I want to torture her to death, I just forgot to give it to her." I really forgot to deliver the meal!"
Seeing this rare opportunity, Mr. Fu Yin quickly asked: "Why did you arrange for the old lady to fake her death, and then secretly locked the old lady in the mountains to starve to death? Isn't this unnecessary?"
Gong Wu quickly explained: "No, I didn't want him to die. It was Liu Sanzi! Liu Sanzi asked Yun Shu to seduce Uncle Li and promised me five hundred taels of silver!
"I asked the old lady to fake her death. The Li family saw that the Yun Shu siblings were pitiful and helpless. I had no choice but to keep them at home. I didn't want to kill the old lady, I just wanted to hide them for two days...but I forgot about them! "
