Chapter 1239 The trial begins
However, Zhao Mu waited and waited but Zhao Zhai never showed up.
He was so angry that he asked, and found out that Zhao Zhai had gone somewhere again. He had sent people to look for him, but it was obviously impossible to find him in a short time.
Zhao Mu was furious: "This unfilial son! He is becoming more and more unruly! Go find him quickly, send a few more people to find him, and make sure to find him back as soon as possible!"
Zhao Mu, who had originally planned to push his eldest son out to take the blame and felt a little guilty, now felt nothing at all.
I feel especially at ease and as it should be.
The eldest brother has no ambition at all. If he doesn't contribute to the family now, when will he make contributions?
Apart from this, what else can he do?
Back at the prefectural government office, not long after Uncle Qing was brought back, the prefect posted a notice to prepare for a public trial.
When a case is being tried in the government office, there will naturally be a lot of people coming to watch the fun.
Since this case was to be tried, of course there had to be both a plaintiff and a defendant, so someone was sent to Zhao's house to deliver the complaint to Zhao Ye.
Although Zhao Ye was very confident that he would win the lawsuit, he did not really want to go to the prefectural government office in person to confront Uncle Qing in court.
Places like government offices and courts are somewhat taboo for people of good character. It is not a good idea to go in there.
Zhao Ye then asked the person who was in charge of him to go there.
However, although the constable who came to invite people was polite, he was also very tough and did not give any leeway. He stubbornly said that this was the order of the master, and the master ordered that the second young master Zhao be invited over, so, would the second young master Zhao go on his own or would they ask him to go?
Zhao Ye was a little angry.
I secretly cursed this constable for being so stupid!
How dare you talk to him like that? Just wait and find out from Master Yang who this man is. If you don’t make him kneel down and kowtow to apologize, then he is not the beloved son of the richest man in Yangzhou!
A mere constable dares to use chicken feathers as a token of authority!
However, he is a public official after all, and since he said so, he really can't do anything about it and has to cooperate.
Otherwise, looking at the attitude of this young man, if he refuses, this man might really take him away by force, which would be even more embarrassing!
Zhao Ye came to the court with a sour face. When he saw Uncle Qing, he glared at him fiercely and sneered with some smugness.
Uncle Qing lowered his eyes, a trace of mockery flashed across his eyes, "He is such a fool, his brain is not very smart, he doesn't know that he is about to be in trouble, right?"
That’s right. Qin was originally a person of low status. How smart could the child she gave birth to and raised be?
They only know some little tricks and schemes that are not presentable.
The court will begin soon.
Zhao Ye didn't want to kneel at first, but the prefect had a stern face and showed no intention of making concessions to him. He didn't dare to ask for anything in public, so he had to kneel down reluctantly.
I comforted myself: The adults are just pretending, and they are doing it in full, so as to avoid being accused of being partial. As expected of adults, they think things through.
However, gradually, no matter how slow Zhao Ye was, he felt that something was wrong.
The prefect interrogated Uncle Qing and asked him why he colluded with outsiders to steal the ten thousand mulberry land deeds from his master. Uncle Qing denied it.
The ordinary people who were watching the fun were all shocked. After all, not everyone is so well-informed and they only found out about this at this moment.
"Oh my god, 100,000 acres of mulberry fields! Did I hear it right?"
"Stealing the land deed? How bold is that!"
