Chapter 516 Fighting
Ni Laodong and other servants of the Wan family were also used as official slaves and would soon be sent to officialdom for sale.
As for Ni Ruiniang, because she did not marry Wan Lifang, she was not exiled with her. Instead, she was released in court after interrogation.
However, County Magistrate Xu reprimanded her: "You escaped this time, and you should be a good person in the future. If you still don't know how to love yourself and do evil things, you will be severely punished!"
Had Ni Ruiniang not been locked up in Wanlifang's yard by Mr. Yang and others for several days, and reported on Wanlifang at the last moment, she would have been charged with harboring bandits.
After hearing this, Ni Ruiniang was overjoyed. She cried and kowtowed to County Magistrate Xu to express her gratitude: "The daughter of the people has written it down. Thank you so much for not punishing me."
Ni Ruiniang’s family members were watching outside the court. When they heard this, they were not happy, but anxious.
Aunt Ni grabbed Uncle Ni's arm and whispered: "Master, if the Wan family is really sentenced to exile, wouldn't our family suffer a huge loss?"
Over the years, the Ni family has been able to survive only by relying on the Ni family to dig into the Wan family's wealth to subsidize it. However, Aunt Ni does not feel that she owes the Wan family. She still feels that the Wan family has failed her and her family is at a loss. Crap.
"If it weren't for our Ni family, would Wan Songwen have been able to live a good life just teaching and not working in the field? Now his family has been sentenced to exile, and he also harmed our Ruiniang and turned a good girl in our family into a broken shoe... He is still a broken shoe who cannot have children in the future, and our family has suffered a huge loss."
Aunt Ni was so painful that she cried. She deeply hated the Wan family for not being able to do things. Even if you had to help the gangsters arrest the girl from the Gu family, you should have done it properly. Now that the incident has failed, the whole family has been compensated.
"No, we, the heads of the family, have to take advantage of the Wan family's property before it is taken and sold by the government, and go to the Wan family to secretly take something home, otherwise our family will suffer even more losses." Aunt Ni was thinking about the Wan family's seized property. .
Uncle Ni also felt that his family was at a loss. When Aunt Ni said this, he immediately became bolder. He nodded and said, "Okay, let's go back quickly and take some of Wan's things home first."
The couple hit it off so quickly that they even ignored Ni Ruiniang, their daughter, and ran away in a hurry.
After Ni Ruiniang was released, she did not see her family. She stood on the street like an orphan. After crying again, she walked home.
After judging these two cases, it was already past noon. Magistrate Xu followed Ming Shaoqing and stood up together with Ming Shaoqing without even having a bite of food. They came to the Yamen Gate and said to the people watching the excitement: "The day after tomorrow, the Yamen will try Zou Youlian for selling clothes." Regarding the case of a male corvée, if anyone in your family was sold while serving as a corvée, you can come to the Yamen the day after tomorrow to listen."
This is a major case, involving the entire village of Tianfu County. The people of Tianfu County have been impatient for a long time. When they heard this, they were so excited that they asked many questions at the yamen gate. But people were so talkative. The matter was so strange that Magistrate Xu didn’t know where to start from.
In the end, I can only say: "If you have anything you want to ask, think about it carefully after you go back today. You can ask me when you go to the church the day after tomorrow."
He added: "If Zou Youlian does such evil things, the Yamen will definitely not let him go. You can rest assured that the Yamen will take part of the confiscated property of the Zou family as compensation and distribute it to all the families of the victims."
Originally the county government had no control over this matter, but Ming Shaoqing was there and Ming Shaoqing agreed, so County Magistrate Xu dared to say this.
After hearing this, the people left with satisfaction... The families who lost their sons would have a hard time. If they couldn't find him back, it would be good to get some compensation.
After County Magistrate Xu sent away the people surrounding the yamen gate, he said to Jiang County Lieutenant: "Master Jiang immediately dispersed all the yamen servants and soldiers in the county, went to each village to inform the village chiefs, and brought people to the county the day after tomorrow. Yamen."
“Yes.” Lieutenant Jiang County took the order and went.
After finishing all this work, Magistrate Xu had time to talk to Gu Dafu alone and said to him: "Your daughter died unexpectedly, and the Yamen will take out 100 taels of silver from the wealth of Wanjia and Zou Hai to compensate your family." , your condolences.”
As for Luo Hui’s family, since she was fine, they had no money to compensate.
But Gu Dafu didn’t want the money: “Sir, my family doesn’t want this money.” Magistrate Xu frowned and said, “Why?”
One hundred taels of silver is a lot of money for a farmer, who can build two large houses with bricks and tiles.
Gu Dafu said with red eyes: "If I want it, what's the difference between selling my daughter? Sister Mei is my daughter, I won't sell her, as long as the Yamen can pay her justice, my family doesn't want anything else."
Ms. Chen was very sad to lose one hundred taels of silver, but she had no objection. If she took this money home, it would be like eating Sister Mei's flesh and blood when she spent it. She really couldn't use it.
After hearing this, Third Grandpa also felt that Gu Dafu had done the right thing. Now that his family had a workshop that paid dividends, he was not short of the one hundred taels of silver, so there was no need to take the money.
When Ming Shaoqing heard Gu Dafu's words, he gave him a high look and said to County Magistrate Xu: "Since the owner is unwilling to take it, the money will be used to compensate the families who were injured in the fire."
The fire started by Zou Yuzhen burned many people. Now those people are still lying in the Zhou Family Medical Center dying, and they are very short of money.
Gu Dafu didn’t have any problem with it. This would also help Mei Mei’s children to have a good pregnancy.
"Yes." Magistrate Xu responded, and after a few words of comfort to Gu Dafu, he hurriedly left with Ming Shaoqing.
Luo Wu sent Gu Dafu and others out of the Yamen.
Gu Dashan was waiting not far from the Yamen in his mule cart. When he saw Gu Dafu and others coming out, he hurriedly asked: "How is it? Zou Hai and the Wan family are all sentenced?"
Third Grandpa nodded, told the fate of the Wan family and Zou Hai, and said: "Tomorrow you have to send the rich family to the county, Wan Li will be the execution, and the rich family will definitely come to see it."
After Gu Dashan asked about the execution time, he said: "I know, I will send Dafu and others to the county town tomorrow."
Luo Wu talked about Gu Jinan again: "Brother An and Shang Xiucai are still in Jinling Mansion. He is now following the two young masters from the Zheng family and Shangguan family in and out of the government office, helping with some official affairs. He is very learned. I bought a lot of things. When Shaoqing Ming returns to the capital, Brother An will be back, so don’t worry."
He handed another letter to Gu Dashan: "This is the letter An Geer brought back. Please take it."
After hearing this, Gu Dashan was so happy that he hurriedly took the letter, opened it and read it.
He has been forced to learn to read in recent months. Although he doesn't know many words, he can still understand the contents of the letter to five points. After seeing that An Ge'er is really fine, he finally feels relieved.
He has always been worried that An Geer will not have a good life in Jinling Mansion. Although the Zheng family and the officials are protecting him, he is a farmer after all. He is worried that An Geer will be looked down upon by others and bullied by the noble sons of the city. .
Gu Dashan put away the letter and said to Luo Wu: "Brother Wu, go and do your work. We'll go back first."
He sat on the front of the mule cart, waited for Gu Dafu's family, Luo's father, and Third Grandpa to get on the cart, and then drove back. As soon as he returned to Qingfu Town, he learned that something had happened at Wan's house.
Gu Dafu hurriedly asked Gu Dashan to drive over and take a look.
As soon as the mule cart arrived at the alley entrance to the back door of Wanjiazhai, they saw Ni Ruiniang fighting with Aunt Ni and Uncle Ni.
