Chapter 298 Death Penalty
Song Yuntang smiled.
"Whether the contents of this joint letter are true or false, and whether I am slandering the Huang family, Master Zhu has already sent people to Cile Town yesterday. A little inquiry will reveal the answer. After all, Master Huang was not obscure when he did these things."
"Besides, the 42 families listed in this petition had all arrived in the county yesterday, and all the evidence and witnesses have been prepared. Your Huang family is unforgivable!"
When Huang Maodian saw that Song Yuntang had arranged everything so thoroughly, he immediately fell down.
Finished!
The family business he had worked hard for most of his life was all gone!
Zhu Deming didn't want to waste time, so he called the villagers in one by one to find out the whole story, and asked Master Qin to record them one by one.
"Huang Maodian, what else do you have to say?"
Huang Maodian raised his head in a daze, then kowtowed to Zhu Deming.
"I plead guilty, but I was the only one who did this. My family didn't know about it. I hope the county magistrate can spare the lives of my family for the sake of our Huang family's contributions to Anyang County."
Since death is inevitable, the only thing he can do is to save the Huang family.
Zhu Deming nodded.
"Huang Maodian took human life lightly and abducted a woman. He deserves death. I will report this to the prefect and he will be convicted."
"Confiscate all the property of the Huang family, including cash, land, real estate, and shops. Although the rest of the Huang family members are unaware of this, they can be spared the death penalty, but they cannot escape punishment alive. They will all be beaten with fifty lashes and thrown out of the county government office."
…
As soon as Song Yuntang came out of the county government office, she saw Xu Wencheng standing not far away and waving at her.
"Sister-in-law, this way."
Standing beside him were Xu Yongwang and Jiang.
Before leaving home, she was thinking about Xu Wencheng helping her to find cooperation in other places. Now was not the busy farming season, and it would be boring to leave her parents-in-law at home staring at each other.
After discussing with my parents-in-law, I decided to live in the county town for a while after settling the fields in Lushan Village.
Xu Wencheng knew that she was going to sue the Huang family, so he rushed here early with Xu Yongwang and Jiang at an accurate time.
She smiled and walked towards the three people.
"Dad, Mom, Wencheng, when did you arrive?"
"It's been a while since we got here." Jiang held her hand and said, "After Wencheng entered the city, he drove a mule cart directly to the county government office and watched the excitement."
Song Yuntang smiled.
"Go home."
Several people got on the mule cart, and when they got home, Xu Qingye had not returned yet.
As soon as the gate opened, Xu Wencheng was surprised and said, "This yard is really big, even bigger than the yard in Lushan Village."
Song Yuntang smiled and said, "There are two more rooms than the yard in Lushan Village. When it comes to New Year and other holidays, if my parents want to bring my grandparents over to play, there will be a place for them to stay."
Xu Yongwang clasped his hands behind his back with a proud look on his face, and looked around this room and that room, just like a high-ranking official on inspection.
Jiang looked in his direction and said with a smile, "Looking at your posture, someone who didn't know you would think you were some high-ranking official."
Judging from his behavior, he will probably start bragging again when he returns.
Xu Yongwang raised his eyebrows.
"My son and daughter-in-law bought a big yard in the county town. Shouldn't I be happy?"
"Okay, you're happy." Jiang was also looking around the yard, "I'm happy too."
"Mom and Dad, this is your room. I bought new quilts and replaced them. Take a look around and see if you need anything else." Song Yuntang said, pointing to the room on the right side of the main hall.
After hearing this, Jiang and Xu Yongwang hurried into the house to take a look.
The house is spacious, airy, tidy and clean.
"There's nothing to add, it's good enough."
As Xu Wencheng unloaded the things they had brought from Lushan Village from the mule cart, he asked, "Sister-in-law, which room am I in?"
"You can't miss it." Song Yuntang pointed to the innermost wing, "Here, this is the largest of the three rooms. Can I give it to you? Or you can choose one, and if you choose one, I'll make room for you."
The other two rooms were filled with medicinal herbs that she had previously stockpiled.
If we really want to free up a room, it will probably take a lot of effort.
This is because Song Jinsheng and Mu Dong would load some up and take them back every time they came, otherwise there would be some piled up in Xu Wencheng's room.
But Xu Wencheng is not picky.
As he unloaded the stuff from the mule cart, he said, "Just prepare it for me, sister-in-law. I'm a tough guy and can live anywhere."
They brought a lot of things from Lushan Village this time, including eight chickens, two baskets of eggs, a wild rabbit that Xu Yongwang had recently caught in the mountains, and vegetables grown at home, with or without roots, including leeks, cabbages, and radishes, two full baskets.
After Xu Yongwang inspected the yard, he found a small hoe in the backyard, found a spot in the corner where Xu Qingye had built the chicken coop before, enclosed a small vegetable plot, and planted the vegetables with roots.
Seeing this, Song Yuntang couldn't help but pursed his lips.
Her original idea was that the backyard would be for living, and the front yard would be used to plant some flowers, plants and fruit trees, so that she could enjoy the flowers in the spring, the leaves in the summer, and the fruits in the autumn.
The only thing I didn’t expect was that it would end up being about growing vegetables.
But she didn't say anything. Not only are the prices of vegetables sold outside high, but the vegetables available for purchase are also pitifully scarce. It wouldn't hurt to grow some vegetables in the yard.
After Jiang put her luggage away, she went to the backyard and killed a chicken.
I lit a small stove, put some mushrooms in it and started cooking it in a clay pot.
"Tang'er, there is a well in the backyard. You bought a good yard with water and trees." Jiang said with a smile in the backyard.
Song Yuntang walked towards the backyard.
"I didn't think much about it when I bought it. I just liked the sweet-scented osmanthus tree in the yard. After I bought it, I liked it more and more."
She came to the well, drew a bucket of water and carried it up.
Xu Wencheng, who had just fed hay and water to the mules in the stable, hurried over here.
"Sister-in-law, the water tank in the kitchen is still full."
Song Yuntang pulled the bucket upwards with all his strength, "I'm going to carry the bucket of water to water Dad's vegetable garden."
Xu Wencheng smiled, took the hemp rope from her hand, and lifted the bucket up without much effort.
"Sister-in-law, let us do this kind of physical work in the future. Don't fall down with your weak arms and legs."
After he said that, he picked up the bucket and went to the front yard.
Song Yuntang was speechless for a moment.
But it was not a good idea to argue with such a brat, so she just glanced at him and went out to the Wu family's house next door.
Wu opened the gate and a look of surprise flashed across her face when she saw Song Yuntang.
"Why is Miss Song here now?"
Song Yuntang said a little embarrassedly, "Aunt Wu, this is the case. My parents-in-law and my brother-in-law are staying at home for a few days. I won't bother you to cook during this time. After they leave, you can continue to cook for us."
"Okay." Mrs. Wu answered readily, "How much money should I refund to you? You still have about ten pounds of rice that you left with me before. I'll go get it for you, so that it won't get worms if left for too long."
