Chapter 31 Chapter 31 Pulling up the turnip and bringing up the mud

Yang Hao was looking for Zhu Yuanwai to find some evidence of evil and evil by Zhou Wangshu and other unjust and good gentry, so as to threaten them and ask them to obediently cooperate with him to complete the task of purchasing grain in Sizhou. information. Zhu Yuanwai spoke out all his grievances over the years.At the beginning, in order to embezzle the Zhu family's property, the Zhou family used all kinds of despicable means to suppress and exclude, and annexed the Zhu family's property. The Zhu family naturally refused to accept it, and the lawsuit went to the government. The family was miserable, and the Zhu family spent a lot of money to fight the lawsuit, but they lost the lawsuit instead.The Zhou family was even more complacent, and kept sending some rascals to the door to provoke. The old man of the Zhu family hanged himself in Jianghuai Road to observe the gate of the yamen in a rage.

This time the situation became serious, and the observer was afraid of getting into trouble, so he would jointly write a letter to the imperial envoy's platform with the inspector's office. In southern China, the imperial envoy attached great importance to the case, and immediately sent people to investigate the case thoroughly. It's just that, it is said to be a thorough investigation, but most of the local officials and subordinates are taken over together with the territory. These officials, gentry, subordinates and servants are connected with each other to protect each other, and only a few court officials are parachuted from Kaifeng Mansion. Come down, how easy is it to get their criminal evidence?

This case has been investigated for several months, and the local gentry and gentry deliberately restrained them, causing panic, everyone in danger, no one to take care of political affairs, and economic corruption. If the investigation continues, I am afraid it will become even more troublesome , weighing the two, the imperial court had no choice but to deal with Yin Jing, the former prefect who had obtained conclusive evidence, and closed the case hastily. After the new magistrate Deng Zuyang took office, Zhu Yuanwai continued to sue, hoping to get back the land passed down from his ancestors and punish Uncle Zhou Wang who forced his father to death.When the imperial court sent people to Sizhou to investigate the case, Uncle Zhou Wang panicked in his heart, but he lay down for a while, and when he saw that the imperial court came and couldn't do anything to him, he became arrogant again.

Seeing that Zhu Hongjun still dared to file a complaint, he ordered people to attack the Zhu family without any scruples. For a while, the Zhu family suffered a lot of disasters, either the backyard caught fire or the fields were flooded. Someone in the family was beaten for no reason when they went out today. Pig blood and dog blood were splashed everywhere, so frightened that the servants of Zhu's family resigned and left one after another. Zhu Yuanwai made up his mind and vowed to bring Uncle Zhou Wang to justice, but he gradually discovered that the new prefect of Deng prefect was polite to him when he took office, but later he gradually didn't treat him very well.Every time he went to the yamen, Zhu Yuanwai was always made things difficult by many parties. Whether it was the yamen's servants or the hall officials, he was not yin or yang when they met him. It was as difficult as heaven to meet the magistrate Deng. .

It's hard to see, and if you don't say three words, there will definitely be a small official in the government office holding "important official documents" and asking the master of the government to deal with it immediately. As soon as this Deng's government leaves, I don't know how long I will have to wait to see him again. , a "drag" tactic dragged Zhu Yuanwai to exhaustion, five tuberculosis and seven injuries. The Zhu family's property has been neglected to take care of it. This kind of soft-handed killing made Zhu Yuanwai feel disheartened, and the desire to file a complaint also faded away.But at this time Uncle Zhou Wang refused to give up, and continued to send rogues to make trouble every day, disturbing the Zhu family's chickens and dogs. Not long after, the son of Zhu's family was seduced by a group of dudes to go to prison, and the Zhu family's fields, shops, and real estate were taken away. Bet it all, and lose all.

It was only when Uncle Zhou Wang sent someone to collect the house and land with the proof that the son of the Zhu family had personally drawn and pledged to collect the house and land. Zhu Hongjun realized that this was a plan by Uncle Zhou Wang to kill him all. The Zhou family was instantly ruined. Unable to think about throwing himself into the river, Zhu Hongjun became a beggar overnight from the pampered Zhu Yuanwai. He took the medicine and slept on the wet ground all day, but he ended up half-paralyzed. Hearing Zhu Yuanwai's bloody and tearful accusation, Bi Su was so angry that his fingers cracked, and he wished he could immediately kill Zhou Wangshu, that cannibalistic old thief. After all, Yang Hao had been in the officialdom for a long time, and he knew that it would be useless to use emotion unless he pretended to be a man. He is a heroic man who sees injustice, otherwise there must be real evidence to bring the villain to justice, so he suppressed the injustice in his heart and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Zhu, you also know that just based on your words, Uncle Zhou Wang cannot be dealt with. Based on your guess, it cannot be concluded that Deng Zuyang colluded with Uncle Zhou Wang in private. You cannot live here. I will pick you up immediately and find a safe place to settle you and your wife. Let's talk in detail and see if we can get real evidence of them."

Zhu Yuanwai took a deep look at him, hesitant to speak, and finally just nodded. Yang Hao is also an outsider in Sizhou. If he wants to settle Zhu Yuanwai and his wife in a safe and secret way, there is really no good place to go. After thinking about it, only the official ship of King Wei belongs to the Sizhou government and local gentry. There was no place where the forces could penetrate, so he asked Bisu to rush to transfer people to pick up Zhu Yuanwai and his wife for the imperial envoy to take the boat, and he stayed with them in the temple. Bi Sude ordered to rush to the ship to transfer people. He was holding Yang Hao's token. Yang Hao was the deputy envoy of the imperial envoy, and he also had the right to transfer the guards of honor of the imperial envoy and the imperial guards. He immediately dispatched a group of soldiers, and they arrived The half door panel was removed from the temple, Madam Zhu was lifted onto the door panel, and just about to leave the earth temple, who would have thought that Zhang Xingba would become so lustful and want to prostitute himself in the daytime, so he dragged Miss Hu into the earth temple, and let her He hit it straight.

Seeing the imperial envoy and the forbidden army Tiger Ben who was like killing gods, Zhang Xingba and the other rogues who were domineering and arrogant in Sizhou were frightened out of their wits.Yang Hao made this land temple the lobby, and immediately "promoted the Yamen to ask the case", Zhang Xingba originally wanted to avoid the seriousness and prevaricate it, even if the imperial envoy punished him for an attempted rape and put him in prison, when the imperial envoy and his team left Si Zhou, with the protection of Liu Ye and Zhou Ye, he will definitely be able to get out.

But now Yang Hao is going to collect all the criminal evidence about Uncle Zhou Wang. He learned that the land seizure not only involved Uncle Zhou Wang, but also Liu Zhong, the nephew of Deng Zhifu. No matter, how can they let them leave. In addition to Zhang Xingba and his followers, there are Hu's father and daughter, and Zhao Zhengcai. Even if Zhang Xingba wanted to cover up, the old man Hu and the three of them would not be able to hide it for him. From Chu Youxiao's place, the rogue Yang Qing who came to report to Zhang Xingba was picked up by two tall, burly guards of the Imperial Guard who carried him like chickens, and slammed him on the ground. He fell so badly that he didn't need anyone to beat him, so he obediently told everything he knew about the situation.

As soon as Yang Hao heard that Chu Youxiao and Zhang Xingba were the minions of Zhou Wangshu and Liu Zhong respectively, both of them clearly fought fiercely with one good and one evil, but in private they cooperated with each other, knowing that this person is also a key Seeing witnesses, he hurriedly asked the bastard's family: "Where is Chu Youxiao now?" Yang Qing stammered: "Chu Guanshi...ah no, Chu Youxiao went to sister Yao's place." Bi Su raised his hand and slapped his face: "You fucking tell me clearly, which kiln sister did you go to?" Yang Qing said with a mournful face: "This kiln sister's surname is Yao, so she is called Yao sister."

Bi Su understood, and couldn't help being angry and funny, turned to Yang Hao and said, "My lord, do you see?" "This is an important witness, and he must be arrested together." Yang Hao thought for a moment, and then said: "Uncle Zhou Wang, Liu Zhong, when do you want you to go back and report the news?" At this point, Zhang Xingba had nothing to hide, and said dejectedly: "Master Liu and Master Zhou are not always concerned about the trivial matters of tens of acres of land. It's just that the Hu family offended Master Liu, so Master Liu ordered it himself. Come down, this matter is settled, but there is no rush to pay back, Master Liu and Master Zhou are busy these two days." Yang Hao was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately ordered: "These rogues have too many acquaintances in Sizhou City, it would be inconvenient to take them out immediately, you rest here, and after dark, take them out of Nancheng, Detour back to the boat. You guys..." He pointed to a few guards of the forbidden army who were not too burly, and ordered: "Take off the military uniform, change into these rascal clothes, and follow me to get Chu Youxiao." Zhu Yuanwai looked on coldly, and was a little moved when he saw Yang Hao's behavior. Yang Hao turned to him and said, "Zhu Yuanwai, I wanted to invite you to the official ship immediately, but there are so many people making too much noise. In order not to startle the snake, you should also I have to wait here for a while, and go on the road with the imperial army after dark, and I will go get that Chu Youxiao now." "It makes me, envoy Yang, please wait a moment..." At this point Zhu Yuanwai finally believed his sincerity, he rushed into the ruined temple, arrived in front of the statue of the Lord of the Earth, groped for a while under the altar full of holes, took out a rotten package, and rushed to Yang Yang again. In front of Hao, he said excitedly: "Xiaomin is ashamed. I was a little suspicious of my lord just now, so I dare not give it up. Now Caomin really believes that my lord wants to judge the case impartially. My lord, Zhu has not been idle since he broke his family and fell to this point. I walked around the streets and alleys every day, begging for food, and always stared at the injustice of Liu and Zhou's family. But what I heard and saw is all transcribed here. get." Yang Hao opened the package and saw that there was a bald pen and half a broken inkstone inside, and the rest were uneven pieces of paper or even cloth of various styles, densely packed with words. Hearing what someone did, or seeing what they ordered his subordinates to do, the time, place, person's name, and what happened are all listed in detail. It seems that he has been in a lawsuit for several years, and he is quite a litigator. I got it. Yang Hao was overjoyed, at this moment he didn't even bother to take a closer look, and quickly put it into his arms, comforting him and said: "Zhu Yuanwai has been framed many times, so it's only natural for him to be vigilant. I, the official, should be ashamed. Don't worry. Don't worry, since this matter falls into the hands of the official, I must give you justice!"
