When Master Wen was about to make trouble, a letter was hurriedly delivered to Master Zhu.
Lord Zhu opened the envelope, took out the letter, and was shocked when he saw the red comments.
This letter was actually written to him by the Magistrate Wen!
Wen Junshou is the county magistrate, which is a very high position for him as a county magistrate!
Uncle Zhu read the letter carefully from beginning to end. The more he read, the uglier his expression became. After finishing reading, he slammed the letter on the table!
"Brother-in-law, what's wrong? What did the county magistrate say?" asked Master Wen.
Bang!
Lord Zhu slapped Master Wen in the face.
Lord Zhu slapped Master Wen several times, but still not feeling satisfied, he kicked Master Wen a few more times.
After kicking, she started crying again.
"You're killing me!"
"Why do I use you as my mentor?"
"I regret it! I regret it!"
Mr. Zhu has always had a mild temper and has never lost his temper so badly!
Master Wen had a bad feeling in his heart. He picked up the letter, read it quickly, and his face changed suddenly.
In the letter, the governor of Wen County said that he was very angry and disappointed with the county magistrate when he learned that Hedong County had wrongly accused innocent people of being bandits. Considering that the county magistrate was unaware of the matter, he would allow the magistrate to stay in office to investigate, but he also asked him to handle the follow-up of the matter properly.
Master Wen's hands were shaking violently.
He knew he was finished!
Why?
Isn't he just a country boy? Why did he alarm the county governor?
"Someone come! Someone come!" Lord Zhu shouted loudly.
Soon, the bailiffs came in.
Master Zhu pointed at Master Wen and said, "Quick, take him to the yamen. I want to try the case!"
Lord Zhu came to his senses and realized that if he didn't severely punish Master Wen and the other people involved, he would be finished!
Master Wen was quickly pulled away.
Lord Zhu had never been so decisive before. He directly sentenced Master Wen to lifelong hard labor, and then sent people to arrest Kong Dazhu who had filed a leave petition!
Besides, Kong Dazhu was spending the money he got from pawning the jade pendant on a life of luxury.
Kong Dazhu was very proud. Collaborating with bandits is a capital crime! Wei Qing will be beheaded soon! Let him be arrogant!
When Kong Dazhu was drunk, a group of yamen runners rushed in and dragged him away.
Kong Dazhu was in a daze and only woke up completely when he heard the sound of the gavel.
He looked up and found himself kneeling in the court.
"Your Highness Kong Dazhu has falsely accused innocent people of colluding with bandits. The evidence is irrefutable. I sentence Kong Dazhu to lifelong hard labor."
Kong Dazhu stretched out his legs and his crotch became wet.
…
Tangli soon learned the fate of Wen Shiye and Kong Dazhu. The county magistrate was able to act so decisively because her eldest and second brothers had traveled to Qinghe County and, through a friend, met with the governor and reported the truth. The newly appointed governor, a man of integrity, detested such behavior and immediately wrote a letter urging the Hedong County magistrate to address the matter.
Lei Ming, Lei Bao, eldest brother, second brother, Madam Mu, and Master Jiang, these are the names on Tangli's benefactors' list, and Tangli remembers them deeply in his heart.
Together with Wei Qing, she invited Lei Ming and Lei Bao to a restaurant for a big meal, and promised to help the two brothers find girls.
Then she invited her eldest and second brothers to gather at her home. Huo Ju loved the food she cooked the most and ate it with great joy.
Tangli sent a lot of good things to Madam Mu and Master Jiang. She knew that Madam Mu and Master Jiang didn't care about these things, but it was a token of her appreciation after all.
Wei Qing knew that his young wife was frightened, so he asked for five days' leave from the Xie Mansion to accompany his wife.
His wife often had nightmares and called his name in her dreams. Wei Qing would gently hold her in his arms, pat her back, and comfort her softly.
"I'm here, wife, I'm fine."
Wei Qing is both warm-hearted and distressed, and he loves his wife from the bottom of his heart.
…
Kong family.
When the Kong family heard the news that Kong Dazhu was arrested by the government, they were all so scared that they collapsed.
"How could it be? It's impossible! Our Dazhu has always been honest and well-behaved, how could he be arrested by the government?" Kong Yang kept repeating that it was impossible.
"I happened to be in the county yesterday and heard that the county court was trying a case. I wanted to join in the fun, but I found out that the prisoner kneeling in the court was actually your Dazhu! The charge seemed to be some kind of false accusation, and he was sentenced to life hard labor!"
"Lifelong hard labor..." Kong Yang sat down on the ground.
"My son!" cried Kong Yang.
"Boss! The boss is going to do hard labor. What should we do, mother and I?" Kong Zhang also started crying.
Old Man Kong was completely confused.
Kong Shuan, who was raising his legs in the room, was also stunned. His elder brother had just said two days ago that Wei Qing had been arrested and would be executed soon. How come his elder brother was arrested in the blink of an eye?
Everyone in the Kong family cried out in confusion, and finally it was Kong Yang who made the decision.
"Dazhu is so honest, he definitely couldn't have done anything bad. Someone must have framed him! Old man, let's go to the county and take a look. We can't let him be wrongly accused like this." Kong Yang said.
Old Man Kong had lived for more than 40 years and had never been to the county. He was afraid. But thinking of his eldest son, he gritted his teeth and nodded.
Mrs. Kong Yang took out the only two taels of silver left in the family and went to the county with Old Man Kong.
To get from Kongjia Village to the county, you have to go to Yaoshui Town first. If you walk, it will probably take two days and two nights to get there.
Because she was worried about her son, Kong Yang gritted her teeth and spent the money for an ox cart, and the two of them went there in the ox cart.
"It must be that nemesis Wei Xiaotao. My youngest son has a broken leg and is lying in bed, and my eldest son is in jail. My wonderful Kong family has been ruined by her! You little whore, you stinky bitch, you jinx! Get out of here, you're still bringing bad luck to my Kong family!"
Kong Yang kept cursing Wei Xiaotao all the way, over and over again, using all kinds of dirty words.
Old Man Kong and Mrs. Kong Yang had never been to the county before. The two country bumpkins were so confused when they came to the city for the first time that they were like flies, and they only found the county government office after dark.
The county government office was naturally deserted, so the two men found an alley to sleep in. It was freezing cold, but they were lucky enough not to freeze to death.
The two of them ran around in the county government office for several days and finally found out why Kong Dazhu was sentenced to life hard labor.
He was arrested because Wei Qing slandered the bandits!
The two people only heard one key point - Wei Qing!
"Okay, it really is the unlucky Wei Xiaotao who is to blame. Our Kong family dug up her ancestral grave in our past life, so she is here to collect the debt in this life!"
"How could this beast Wei Qing harm our Dazhu like this? Our Dazhu is so miserable and wronged! He was such an honest man, yet he was harmed by him like this!"
"Wei Qing, you wicked son, you deserve a horrible death! My poor son!"
"Let's go and settle the score with that bastard Wei Qing. I'm going to fight him!"
