Chapter 460 Chaos

After hearing this, County Magistrate Xu immediately found the backbone, yes, yes, that's it.

He returned to the hall and sat down. He was stunned and said directly: "The evidence of the crime committed by Zou Youlian is conclusive, and he will be put into prison immediately. I will transfer the case to the Fucheng Yamen within five days, and let the Fucheng Yamen try and convict."

Master Shao was very anxious after hearing this. He screamed and wanted to complain, but unfortunately no one paid attention to him. There are letters written by him to the scribes, district chiefs, and village chiefs of several towns, but there are traces of his handwriting.

 Zou County Cheng already hated County Magistrate Xu to death. He always thought that a coward like County Magistrate Xu would not dare to do anything to him even after leaving office. Unexpectedly, he became tough and dared to throw him into jail. Magistrate Xu was not afraid that he would die. ?

"Your Majesty the County Magistrate, Zou Jiang once worked as a domestic slave in the Zou family for decades, and was also a confidant of Xiaguan. He served Xiaguan every day with his pen and ink. It was too easy for him to imitate the handwriting of Xiaguan and Master Shao. . I would like to remind the county magistrate not to be used by others to murder an assistant official. This crime is something that your entire family cannot afford."

 The chief officer plotted to kill his assistant officer, and the whole family was killed.

When County Magistrate Xu heard the threats and curses from Zou County Cheng, he immediately became angry and shouted: "Drag Zou Youlian and Shao Qizhuang down and put them in prison!"

"Yes." A group of government officials immediately stepped forward, picked up Zou County Cheng and Master Shao, and took them to the county government prison.

Zou Jiang saw that Zou Xian Cheng was finally taken to the prison. His tense body completely collapsed to the ground, and he vomited out the blood in his mouth.

When Jiang County Lieutenant saw him, he hurriedly came over, supported him and said, "Jiang Sheng, you have to hold on." This is just the beginning. After tonight, it will be the real fatal battle.

Zou Jiang was in severe pain from being tortured. Hearing this, he nodded and said, "I will not fall until Zou Youlian dies~"

 County Magistrate Xu sighed after hearing this. Although he felt sorry for Zou Jiang's serious injury, he still said: "Jiang Sheng, you are suing an official as a citizen. You will also be imprisoned until the Fucheng Yamen convicts Zou Youlian."

Since the beginning of the previous dynasty, in order to prevent people from deliberately falsely accusing officials, anyone who accuses an official must not only be executed with the threat of death, but also be thrown into prison before the case is completely resolved. Once it is found that the accusation is false, the accuser will be executed immediately. If the accusation is true, the accuser will be released.

Zou Jiang said: "The common people know the rules. Don't worry, sir. The common people are willing to stay in jail until the Fucheng Yamen completely concludes the case."

Zou Jiang was driven by two government officials and sent to the cell. Lieutenant Jiang County went with him, asked a doctor to see Zou Jiang's injuries, and brought him a bed and quilts, easy-to-treat food and hot water, so that Zou Jiang could live a better life.

The doctor is Dr. Zhou from the Zhou Family Medical Center. He has good medical skills. He already knew what happened today. He was very frightened, but he admired Zou Jiang in his heart... What kind of person is Zou County Cheng? As long as he lives in the county for a long time , almost everyone knows that he is an old beast, but the old beast is a local snake, no one dares to do anything to him.

Now Zou Jiang has sued Zou Xiancheng. Regardless of whether Zou Xiancheng can be convicted in the end, his courage is admirable.

"They are all skin injuries, no muscles or bones were injured. Take good care of yourself. As long as the wounds are not rotten and you don't have a high fever, it will be fine in a few days until the scabs form blood." Although Dr. Zhou said this, he gave Zou Jiang three prescriptions. There are three prescriptions, one for external application, one for internal use to treat injuries, and one to treat Zou Jiang's own chronic illness: "Take them in staggered intervals, just half an hour apart between each medicine."

Jiang County Lieutenant asked the yamen servant to follow Dr. Zhou to get the medicine. Before he could talk to Zou Jiang, a yamen servant hurriedly ran over: "My lord, the county magistrate, I want you to go to the front office immediately. All the village chiefs in these ten miles and eight villages have brought you to the front office." When the villagers arrive, the Yamen is surrounded by water, so you have to take people there quickly, otherwise there will be trouble if it's too late."

There were too many villagers, and everyone was excited. People who had family members who were doing corvee work and missing were even more mournful. There was a lot of commotion outside.

After hearing this, Lieutenant Jiang County said to the jailer: "Keep a good eye on Zou Jiang. If he is good or bad, you don't have to take your lives." "Yes, sir, don't worry, brothers will definitely protect Zou Jiang!" "The jailers know the importance of Zou Jiang, and they also know that this is a dangerous time, and they dare not take it lightly.

After Jiang County Lieutenant finished explaining, he immediately went to the front office and led the government servants to stop the village chief and villagers who came.

“Everyone be quiet, be quiet! The village chiefs of each village must take care of their own villagers and register those who have died during the corvée service. After recording the list, the village chief will take the list to the county government office to see the county magistrate!”

Jiang County Lieutenant and Xu County Magistrate were very busy until it was dark, and the village chief and the villagers came to the Yamen.

 …

Zou Yuzhen was in fear all day long at the Zou family. He didn't see Prime Minister Zou County come back until dark, so he knew that Prime Minister Zou County must have been imprisoned.

"Third brother, third brother, has dad really been thrown into prison? The servants are all saying that dad is dead this time, what can we do?" After Zou Yuwan got engaged to the stupid son of Landlord Lu, Zou County Cheng was afraid She escaped from the marriage and was grounded. Now that Zou County Cheng was arrested and Zou Mansion was surrounded, all the servants guarding her went to discuss the matter, so she was able to run out to find Zou Yuzhen.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu Third brother, will we be implicated by our father?" Zou Yuwan clung to Zou Yuzhen's arm and cried bitterly: "I heard that my father committed a serious crime. Once he is sentenced, we, as children, will have our heads cut off... Wuwuwu , I don’t want to die, I don’t want to die.”

 She would rather marry Landlord Lu’s foolish son than be executed.

Thinking of this, Zou Yuwan's eyes lit up and she asked Zou Yuzhen: "Third brother, since I'm engaged, I'm no longer a member of the Zou family. I won't be implicated by my father, right?"

When Zou Yuzhen saw Zou Yuwan running in crying, he was already unhappy. When he heard her words again, he slapped her to the ground: "Stop dreaming, if something happens to the Zou family, don't even think about escaping unscathed! "

Zou Yuzhen was going to be implicated by the old man, why could Zou Yuwan escape by marrying?

Zou Yuwan was beaten and lay on the ground crying.

Zou Yuzhen had no time to pay attention to Zou Yuwan. He paced back and forth in the room, waiting for his servant to come back.

Not long after, his personal servant hurried in and said to Zou Yuzhen: "Third Master, the people from Liuye Lane have sent in letters, saying that the evidence Zou Jiang submitted is true, and that the master and Master Shao have been thrown into prison. Now the entire Tianfu County is in chaos, with countless villagers pouring into the county to seek justice from the county government."

Zou Yuzhen turned pale when he heard this: "What do you mean? Why are the villagers in Tianfu County coming here to ask for justice? What does this have to do with them?"

The boy handed the letter sent in by the people from Liuye Lane to Zou Yuzhen: "Read it yourself."

Zou Yuzhen took it and took a look and fell to the ground: "It's over, it's over... This **** old guy dares to sell good people serving in corvee service. He is looking for death!"

So short of money? Do you want to sell good people in exchange for money?
