Chapter 284: A sinister plan
Captain Jiang went to Baolinju twice but failed to find any evidence. He also injured two ruffians from the Xue family, and even had his indentures stolen by Jiang Feng.
It was also because Young Master Lin was too arrogant and confident. He thought it was a trivial matter and did not ask in detail.
When he learned that the idiot Master Xue had someone come with a contract to sell their body and was taken away by Jiang Feng, he regretted it so much that he almost strangled the three idiots to death.
He didn't even know how unlucky he was to meet such a bunch of idiots.
Although Song Defu and his wife were wrong to break into a private residence, they were guilty of theft and the case had to be sent back to the Songfeng County Court for retrial.
Time is running out, and now Young Master Lin has to take charge of this matter personally.
Outside the inn, a man carrying a basket of sugar water was waiting for business.
Zhou Xiang rode by and stopped when he saw the sugar water. "Hey! Hey, bring me a bowl of water!"
Seeing that there was business, the man quickly filled a bowl of water and brought it to the horse, whispering, "Master Zhou, Lin and his men have detained Song Lizheng and his son. The scoundrel with the scalp opened at the post station has a fever, and a doctor has been called in."
Zhou Xiang drank from the bowl, then handed it back, saying, "Keep watching and report any news to County Magistrate Jiang."
After saying that, he took out two copper coins and said, "The sugar water is too sweet, it's too greasy!"
The man took the bowl and caught the two coins Zhou Xiang threw over, smiling brightly: "Thank you for the reward!"
In the inn, when Song Lizheng heard what Master Lin said, his face turned pale and Song Dekui was pressed on a chair.
Young Master Lin stood up, shook the corner of his robe, and said lightly: "Just stay in the inn for the next two days. You can speak when I let you speak.
If you sneak away again and ruin my business, I will make sure you can’t go back.”
A petition was delivered to Jiang Feng's desk in the county government office.
Song Defu of Songfeng County sued Song Zhenping, a military household in Suijin Town, for abandoning his step-grandmother.
The person who submitted the complaint was Song Xiaobao.
Song Lao Er and Xiao Gu were detained in prison. Song Xiaobao was not yet an adult and had done nothing wrong, so he was kept in the post station by Captain Jiang.
Now this minor has filed a lawsuit on behalf of his father.
Of all cases, unfilial piety is the rarest and the most difficult to judge. Moreover, in order to educate the people, the trial must be open to the public.
Among them, family matters, grudges and hatreds have to be mediated repeatedly.
The Song family has been in trouble these past few days, and now an unfilial person has appeared. Everyone knows why. In the final analysis, it is because the second son of the Song family is jealous of the money in Baolinju.
In this case, there is no need to beat around the bush. Jiang Feng directly notifies the Song brothers and sisters to come to court for trial.
You have to choose between paying money to avoid disaster or being punished for being unfilial. As for what happens next... of course, we'll have to wait until the case goes to court.
When the news reached Baolinju, Song Liyun had already made an appointment with the acting doctor to have her bones straightened the next day, but now it seemed that it would have to be postponed for another day.
After getting the surgery date postponed, Doctor Dai became a little impatient. He still had to go back to the city to sit in court, and the case had to be tried over and over again, and the charge was the crime of being unfilial.
Song Liyun had to persuade him hard before he agreed to stay.
After calming down Doctor An, Song Liyun was really angry.
Right now, when he was busy, he was still being harassed by Song Lao Er, or rather, by that eldest son Lin who appeared out of nowhere.
Unfilial?
It's really funny that I haven't figured out how to be filial to an animal.
What is allowed to be kneaded and trampled by beasts is stinking mud.
After this critical moment, I must have a good meeting with this guy named Lin.
Song Zhenping was holding Xiao An's hand at this time, trembling all over.
He knew that his second uncle wanted the family property of Baolinju, but now he was accusing him of being unfilial, which was to put him to death.
In the Wu Dynasty, if one was accused of being unfilial, not only would his or her reputation be ruined, but his or her descendants would also be looked down upon by others when they interacted with others.
But if I compromise... my younger brother and sister's marriage and my own will have to be decided by our elders.
His brows were furrowed and his fists were clenched so tightly that veins bulged.
Song Liyun looked at him with some concern: "Brother, with the village head and Uncle Kui testifying for us, County Magistrate Jiang won't force us, so you don't have to worry."
Song Zhenping forced a smile and said, "Well, with the village head here, I'm not worried!"
He thought to himself that his sister was capable, but she was a woman after all, and she didn't know that if she was labeled as unfilial, she would have a lot of trouble in the future.
After Song Lao Er submitted the complaint, the Qili County Court opened the court the next day.
With the efforts of Huang Changsheng and others, the news that Manager Song of Tianxiang Tower was unfilial to his grandmother and was now being sued by his uncle spread throughout the county almost overnight.
At first, no one believed it and said that Manager Song was a woman, so how could she be unfilial to her parents.
But a bunch of idlers spoke with such certainty that people had to believe them.
Zhou Xiang, Guan Laoliu and others were not simple people either. They also spent money to have people promote the campaign door to door.
When Song Liyun and her two siblings stood in court, half of the people in the city already knew that the defendant was not Manager Song, but Manager Song's brother.
And my grandmother was not my biological grandmother, but my stepmother.
The reason for suing the grandson was because the eldest son's parents had both passed away.
The story that the Song brothers and sisters were abused since childhood and had to become military households to survive also became a hot topic.
Public opinion spreads like waves.
After all, it is most common for both parents to die and for the family property to be taken over by the second uncle.
It is understandable that children now leave home with nothing and do not support their step-grandmother.
According to rumors, even Song Zhenping's disability and the fact that his younger brother was weaker than ordinary people were caused by his cruel second uncle.
For a moment, Manager Song's family situation was more attractive than the charge of being unfilial.
To be honest, Song Liyun didn't want to play the victim.
In her opinion, as long as Song Zhenping's leg is cured, he will be a healthy man.
Even before the end of the world, people with disabilities were discriminated against. Here, giving others the impression of being disabled is even more of a defect.
As for Xiao An, Song Liyun had never even been to Qili County.
A tall tree attracts the wind, and the weak Xiao An becomes his weakness in the eyes of others.
In the court, the three siblings of the Song family stood close together, their eyes filled with anger.
On the other side, Song Lao Er and Xiao Gu knelt on the ground, sadly telling County Magistrate Jiang how hard they had worked to raise three siblings.
Jiang Feng's face was gloomy, and he looked outside the hall from time to time. He started the trial as quickly as possible in order to reduce the number of onlookers.
At this time, there was a large group of people standing in the courtroom, and their number was increasing.
At the front of these people, a young man in gorgeous clothes was holding his head high, looking at everyone in the hall with a vicious look.
As long as Mr. and Mrs. Song insist that they raised the two brothers, they will never be able to repay their kindness.
Moreover, Jiang Feng did not dare to cover up in front of everyone.
As long as Song Zhenping dared to be unfilial, he would be exiled according to the laws of the Wu Dynasty.
However, Song Zhenping is already a military household, so there seems to be no point in exiling him to the frontier, so he will be sentenced to prison term instead.
A person with a leg problem walks on the road for several months in the middle of winter. If he doesn't die, he will be half dead.
Young Master Lin touched his chin and sneered.
As for the fool Song Xiaoan who was left behind, it was just right for Song Laoer's family to take over the care of Baolinju.
What he wanted was not Song Zhenping's death, but Song Liyun's disappearance from Tianxiang Tower.
If Song Liyun wants to protect his brother, I...
