Chapter 799 Confiscating the house

What happened is actually very simple.

It was simply that Wu Youde was coveting Old Liu Tou's cattle. He originally wanted to buy the cattle from Old Liu Tou at a low price, but Old Liu Tou refused to sell them.

Wu Youde lost his patience and directly accused Old Liu Tou of stealing his cattle. He also said that if Old Liu Tou hadn't stolen it, he would have taken out the cattle certificate.

But this cow was given to Lao Liutou by Yunzheng, so how could it be a cow?

Lao Liutou couldn't argue, and kept saying that it was given to him by Yunzheng, but Wu Youde didn't listen to Lao Liutou's explanation at all, and even threatened to take Lao Liutou to report to the official.

Old Liu Tou had been an honest friend all his life, but he was frightened when he heard the news.

In the end, the cattle was forcibly taken over by Wu Youde.

After the cattle were taken away, Old Liu Tou kept crying, as if he had lost his soul.

When Liu Wu and Li Jia heard the news about Old Liu Tou again, Old Liu Tou had already hanged himself on the crooked neck tree outside his thatched house.

"Are they telling lies?"

Yun Zheng looked at Wu Youde and the housekeeper coldly.

Wu Youde was so frightened that he didn't dare to speak at all.

"No...no..."

The housekeeper took the words and wailed: "Your Majesty, this matter has nothing to do with the common people! This is all done by the master. The villain... The villain is unjust..."

"Unjust, right?"

Yun Zheng looked at the steward with cold eyes, "Okay, I will give you a chance to ask the people present whether you were wronged or not!"

"No injustice!"

"They are all a den of snakes and rats!"

"right……"

Before the steward could ask, the people watching started shouting.

wronged?

How can any of these stewards be wronged?

What immoral things did the master’s family do that they were not involved in?

Listening to the shouts of the people watching, the housekeeper's face suddenly turned pale.

Yun Zheng took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "I will give you a chance to tell you all the outrageous things you know about the Wu family, and I will give you a chance to live!"

After hearing Yun Zheng's words, the already desperate butler immediately grasped at straws and told everything he knew.

This statement really tells a lot of things.

Needless to say, Wu Youde, this old guy is already bad to the core.

Wu Youde's son and son-in-law are not good people either.

The two of them often bullied men and women and forced girls into prostitution.

A few years ago, Wu Youde's son fell in love with a tenant's daughter and wanted to buy her as a maid in the family, but the tenant refused to sell her.

Finally, Wu Youde's son got some fake jade and pretended to be tripped by the tenant. He broke the fake jade in his hand and asked the tenant to pay for it.

The tenants couldn't afford the compensation, so they had to use their daughters to pay off the debt.

Less than three months after joining the Wu family, the beautiful girl was tortured to death by Wu Youde's son. In the end, she was told that she died of illness and the tenant was given some burial expenses, and the matter was considered over.

Listening to the steward's narration, the people watching continued to curse.

Many people who knew Wu Youde thought that Wu Youde was a good person, but they did not expect that Wu Youde's family would do so many evil things.

If it weren't for the government officials and Yun Zheng's personal guards guarding the scene, these people would probably have rushed forward and beaten Wu Youde to death.

"very good!"

Yun Zheng took a deep breath and stood up slowly, "Wu Youde, please tell me what crime you deserve."

What should be the crime?

Wu Youde didn't know what crime he deserved.

He only knew that this prince who came from the battlefield was definitely not a good person.

Wu Youde trembled all over, and finally mustered up some strength, struggled to get up and recover: "Please... please spare my life..."

"Okay! I will satisfy you!"

Yun Zheng readily agreed, and immediately looked at Liu Wu and Li Jia: "From now on, the Wu family father and son and their housekeeper will be your farm oxen! Let them pull the plow for you! As for their food, you Don’t worry, I will help you feed them and make sure they don’t starve to death!”

what?

Hearing Yun Zheng's words, not to mention Wu Youde, even Liu Wu and Li Jia were shocked.

Daqin is not a matter of not having someone to pull the plow, and there are many such things.

Many poor people who cannot afford to rent cattle do this.

However, they would never dream of having Mr. Wu and his family work as cattle for them.

After being lost for a long time, the two of them came back to their senses and kowtowed quickly: "Common people, thank you for your great kindness!"

Even if the Wu family, father and son and the housekeeper were to pull the plow together, it would not be as fast as an ox.

But they can let out a bad breath!

With the prince backing them, the Wu family dare not refuse!

Wu Youde was angry and frightened. He suppressed the fear in his heart and shouted: "Your Majesty! You are abusing lynching! Even if we are guilty, the court's laws will determine it. You can't..."

"I have abused lynching today!" Yunzheng looked at Wu Youde indifferently: "Are you going to the state capital to sue me, or are you going to the imperial city to sue me?"

Listening to Yunzheng's words, Wu Youde's face suddenly twitched.

How is it possible to go to the state capital to sue Yunzheng?

Go to the imperial city to sue Yunzheng, the court can't do anything to him!

Yun Zheng was too lazy to talk nonsense to Wu Youde and waved directly to Shen Kuan: "They dragged them down and paraded them through the streets first, and then locked them in the barn! Also, take people to capture his son and son-in-law! As a family, we must Neat and tidy!”

"Yes!"

Shen Kuan was happy to do such a thing.

"Leave the matter of confiscation to the Yamen people!"

Yun Zheng squinted at the county guard who was sitting there without moving, "All the proceeds from the confiscation of the house will be confiscated! The men and women in the house will be scrutinized carefully. Those who are guilty will be dealt with how they should be dealt with, and those who are not guilty will be punished. lay off!"

"Yes!"

The county guard quickly stood up to accept the order, and then said tentatively: "Your Majesty, would you like to give some of the property obtained from the house raid to Old Liu Tou's family..."

"Need not!"

Yun Zheng shook his head, "Just return the cattle to his family. I will pay all the funeral expenses for Old Liu Tou!"

The common man is not guilty, but he is guilty of carrying a jade!

Old Liu Tou died because of this incident.

No matter how much money you give to Old Liutou's family, it might be another disaster.

Moreover, the Wu family has been confiscated, and they no longer need to pay food to the Wu family according to the contract.

This can be regarded as another kind of compensation!

The county guard did not dare to say anything and quickly ordered the county officials to go to Wu's house and ransack it.

Yun Zheng had no intention of staying in the county government office any longer and quickly walked out.

Behind him, bursts of cheers came from the people.

Others knelt down and thanked them.

Yunzheng didn't look back and left quickly.
