Chapter 102: Happy
Chapter 102 Happy
Lu Laosan was sentenced to fifty canes and three years in prison. However, as long as it was not a serious crime, Dachu allowed gold and silver to be used as compensation. So the Lu family spent three hundred taels of silver to pay for Lu Laosan's three-year imprisonment.
The Lu family also wanted to spend more money to offset the fifty lashes with the cane, but Jiang County Lieutenant was too tough and refused to use the money to offset the 50 lashes with the cane. Lu Laosan was severely beaten with the fifty lashes. Half a life was lost.
Mr. Lu and the Lu family members blocked the government officials from handling the case and were also fined silver. The arrested Lu family members were each fined ten taels of silver. Mr. Lu was the first offender and was fined one hundred taels.
Such a large sum of money is fined, even if Mr. Lu's family is rich, it is still too much to bear.
The eight bastards, He Dacai and He Shanwa, received the heaviest sentences. The Lu family put most of the blame on them. They were beaten fifty times with a cane, exiled thousands of miles away, and were never allowed to return to Jianghuai and other places.
The two servants of the Lu family were used as official slaves and were taken to work in the official mine.
The work in the official mines was tiring and painful. When the two servants went to the official mines, they had no chance of surviving. They were considered dead.
"The county government charged Lu Laosan with bringing a gangster to rob the property of a decent citizen, so the sentence was so light." Luo's father said with regret: "What if the sentence was for someone who used the name of a county government official?" In Fish and Meat Township, Lu Laosan will definitely not survive, but the magistrate did not mention this crime."
As for the fact that Mr. Lu wanted to slander them as bandits, the county magistrate did not say anything.
Third Grandpa said: "Jiang Xianwei said that this crime is too big and will involve all the adults in the county, so we can't mention it. If we mention it, it will be spoiled. Let's just forget it and don't pursue it too much."
Jiang Xianwei is tough, but Zou Xiancheng is not a vegetarian. Before Lu Laosan was taken to the county seat, Zou Xiancheng learned about Lu Laosan and started to move up and down. Being able to sentence Lu Laosan was considered a punishment. good.
Several families know that this is the best result, so they are not dissatisfied.
“This Lu Laosan has been sentenced, will the Lu family cause trouble for us?” Aunt Tian asked worriedly: “We have to live in this village.”
Chen said: "Sister-in-law Tian, we have the support of the county captain now, are you still afraid of the Lu family? Now the Lu family would not dare to cause trouble to us even if they have ten courages."
Mrs. Chen was very proud and felt her waist straighten up. She smiled flatteringly at Gu Jinli and said, "We little fish are still very good. Every time we save people, we can save big people, which brings us benefits. The county captain is here." , we can walk sideways in the village from now on."
"Shut up, you stinky bitch, what nonsense are you talking about?" Gu Dagui scolded Mrs. Chen angrily.
Even if Jiang Xianwei helped them because Xiaoyu saved his granddaughter, they couldn't say it out loud.
Although Mrs. Chen was scolded, she was still very happy. If she didn’t want to say it, she wouldn’t say it. As long as they knew what was going on.
The third grandfather looked at several families and said: "We are ordinary people. Xiaoyu saved the granddaughter of the county captain. The county captain took care of us, so we can't forget our identities."
“Don’t worry, Third Uncle/Third Uncle, we know that we will not use the name of County Captain to benefit our own family.” The heads of several households said one after another, and the other women and children nodded in agreement.
Having said that, the families are still very happy, even happier than during the Chinese New Year.
…
County town, Zou Mansion, Zou County Cheng was so angry about the Lu family's affairs that he smashed a whole set of porcelain and worked for two days before finally settling the matter. When Lu Laosan was found guilty, he was completely relieved. What a risk. If this matter continues to be investigated, it will not be a matter of Lu Laosan and a few gangsters coming to grab the prescription, but a catastrophe of destroying his Zou family.
Because of Lu Laosan’s incident, Aunt Lu was fined and banned for half a year and had to read the female precepts hundreds of times.
The uncle of the Lu family was also kicked out of the Zou Mansion and could no longer work with the county magistrate.
Boss Lu was anxious and asked Aunt Lu for help, but Aunt Lu was smart and did not see him. He just asked his confidant maid to send him a letter. The letter said: The storm is very tight, brother, don't be anxious, just wait at home with peace of mind. After the master calms down, my sister will naturally speak for him.
Boss Lu has been with Zou Xiancheng for more than ten years, and he is not a fool. He knows that Zou Xiancheng is very angry this time, and he also knows that he can't rush into the Zou Mansion again, so he can only wait at home with peace of mind.
Aunt Lu was worried that Mr. Lu would take action against the Qin Guluotian family, so she sent someone to send a message to Mr. Lu, telling him not to do stupid things. Now that they were in the limelight, whatever happened to the Qin Guluotian family, others would do it. Zou Xiancheng was already very angry when suspicion was brought against her Lu family. They couldn't take action against Qin Gu Luotian and his family now. They had to endure it and settle accounts with them in the future.
Mr. Lu knew that Aunt Lu was right, but he was still so angry that he became ill and felt embarrassed. After leaving the county government, he did not return to the village. Instead, Mr. Lu lived in the county town and wanted to wait for the limelight to pass before returning to the village. .
After this dynasty, the Lu family was exhausted.
Fortunately, Zou County Cheng is fine, and Aunt Lu's children are also fine. The Lu family still has a chance to turn around.
Shopkeeper Zeng of Fugui Building was also embarrassed because of this. The chief steward of Zou Mansion scolded him and scolded him for being short-sighted. Isn't it just a tofu recipe worth stealing with him and Lu Laosan? I fined him another year's monthly payment, and the matter was over.
In the entire Zou family, the happiest person is undoubtedly Mrs. Zou. She has long disliked Aunt Lu and wanted to get rid of the Lu family. But the Lu family is smart, and the master is fascinated by Aunt Lu's charming wife. In the past twenty years, not only has she failed to suppress Aunt Lu, but she has also allowed Aunt Lu to gain a foothold in the house and give birth to children.
What's even more hateful is that Aunt Lu also wants her son to inherit the Zou family and be the next county magistrate. Mrs. Zou is so angry that she wants to strangle Aunt Lu to death and poison Aunt Lu's son.
Unexpectedly, the Lu family would fall on several victims fleeing the famine. It was really God’s foresight.
“How are things going?” Mrs. Zou asked the nanny next to her.
Grandma Hong lowered her head and replied: "Go back to Madam, I have found eight people and are teaching them. They will be able to enter the house in a while."
Mrs. Zou frowned: "Will it take a while? Don't wait any longer. While the master is annoying Aunt Lu, let them enter the house quickly. Four of them will be assigned to serve in the master's study, and the other four will be placed in the main room."
In order to deal with Aunt Lu, Mrs. Zou has been looking for young and good-looking girls since last year, and put them in another house to teach her. After thinking that she has taught them well, she will let those girls come into the house to serve Zou County Cheng, and then leave. Aunt Lu's favorite.
“Yes, I will arrange for them to enter the house tomorrow.” Grandma Hong replied.
Mrs. Zou asked again: "Are there any outstanding ones among those eight? The other eight are useless, and they can't even deal with an old lady."
Aunt Hong smiled and said: "Madam, don't worry, out of the eight people this time, three are excellent, especially the daughter of a scholar named Zhong. Her figure is one of the best in a thousand. As long as a man can get started, he will be the best." Can’t throw it away.”
