I'm writing novels in Liaozhai

In a fit of anger, Shen Butong also wanted to show off his authority, but after yelling a few words, he had to forcefully swallow it back.

Because he was afraid that he would be fined to stand in the hall like Qin Shou.

Officials crushed people to death.

Not to mention that Chen Zibai has a special status. As an inspector and censor, let alone a salt transport envoy, he dares to interrogate the prefect of Jinhua even if he breaks the law.

"The reason is that Lord Shen's young master fell in love with Lord Nie's daughter."

Zhou Dafu confessed on 51.

The truth of the matter finally surfaced.

However, Nie Hongshu, Nie Xiaoqian, Gu Ming and others have already guessed these secrets, and they are not surprised to hear them.

But with this testimony, Shen Butong must be involved this time.

"It was so"

Chen Zibai cast a cold glance at Shen Butong who was looking ashen.

"Master Shen, what else do you have to say?"

The ironclad evidence is so strong that it is useless for Shen Butong to argue, so he can only retreat and say: "My lord Yushi, I am indeed wrong.

But the subordinate officials did not ask them to do this, it was all their tricks to please the official."

This is all right, offended Qin Shou too.

Anyway, he knew that he would lose his position, so he cupped his hands and said, "My lord, I have something to say."

"allow!"

"If you want to say who came up with the scheme, in fact, it is Mr. Shen himself."

"Qin Shou, Hugh is spitting blood!"

There was a sudden chaos in the courtroom, and the two started biting dogs.

This time Chen Zibai stopped him lazily, and listened to the show with his arms folded.

"My surname is Shen, I can't be an official anyway, and you don't want to choose yourself. This is obviously your idea. You are a salt transport envoy, so you just use this as an excuse to get down."

"Okay, stop arguing, I understand.

Come here, take off the official robes of Qin Shou and Shen Butong, I will definitely try the first instance today! "

There was hardly any suspense about the outcome of the interrogation.

With the mentality of dying together, Zhou Dafu and Qin Shou not only confessed their crimes, but also truthfully confessed the transaction between Ba and Shen Butong.

In this way, it is difficult to justify the failure of the application.

But, things didn't end there.

When the private salt trial was almost over, Gu Ming stepped forward at the right time.

"My lord, Xiaosheng has a grievance to sue!"

"Ok?"

Chen Zibai couldn't help frowning.

"My lord, his grievances are also involved in this case"

Nie Hongshu helped to say something.

"So that's the case, then tell me what grievances you have."

"Xiaosheng wants to sue Zhou Dafu and Qin Shou for collusion and domination of real estate"

Hearing him explain the reason, Chen Zibai ordered to bring Wu's elder brother and brother together in court, and summoned the relatives of the Wu family to wait in court.

At the same time, Zeng Dehao quietly withdrew from the courtroom and went out to whisper to the servant who was waiting at the door.

His original intention was to ask the servant to control the person who forged the book, lest the other party hear the news and run away.

Unexpectedly, in court, Zhou Dafu confessed everything on his own initiative without waiting for the Wu family to come.

"My lord Yushi, the villain pleaded guilty. In the case of Wu's shop, it was the villain who made someone forge the sales contract. For this matter, the villain even gave Lord Qin a lot of money."

Qin Shou also confessed.

Anyway, he was already broken, and one more crime and one less crime didn't make much sense.

In this way, the subsequent interrogation will be much easier.

When the Wu family came to the court, Chen Zibai only asked a few brief questions, and returned the Wu family's store as the master of the court.

Moreover, Zhou Taifu's property will also be seized.

At that time, 500 taels of silver will be taken from his family property to compensate the Wu family.

As for Gu Ming, he will also refund the silver he spent in the lawsuit and the small courtyard he was forced to mortgage to the Zhou family.

Chapter 48 Good things happen...

This trial cannot be stopped at all.

Under Zeng Dehao's signal, many people outside also began to cry for grievances.

Chen Zibai didn't do it, he didn't stop, he just came to a pot of stew, went out personally and summoned more than ten common people to complain in court.

For a time, all kinds of complaints.

Some sued Zhou Dafu's wives and daughters, and some sued his wife for condoning his subordinates to commit murder.

One by one, one pile, too many to write.

Not only his husband and wife, but also the evil girl A Fang and the housekeeper Zhu Huaishui were also involved in helping others.

As the case progressed, it began to involve some other wealthy businessmen colluding with Qin Shou.

For example, Yuanwai Feng who conspired together that night.

Ever since, the entire Guobei County was flying like dogs and dogs, and a group of yamen servants were dispatched separately to arrest him.

One crime after another piled up, Qin Shou couldn't stand anymore, and collapsed to the ground.

In the end, Zhou Dafu and his wife were sentenced to death for their heinous crimes, and all their property was confiscated.

The couple peed their pants in fright

Others will be given corresponding punishments such as confiscation of property and imprisonment depending on the circumstances.

As for Qin Shou and Shen Butong, since they were officials appointed by the imperial court, they couldn't deal with it hastily.

Therefore, he is temporarily detained, and after the report is made, he will be escorted to the government office for further disposal.

In short, Qin Shou's life might not be saved.

"Lord Nie, Qin Shou has been taken into custody. Guobei County can't be left alone for a day. You can temporarily act as the county magistrate."

"Thank you, Lord Yushi!"

Nie Hongshu bowed his hands and expressed his heartfelt thanks.

It is said that it is a temporary generation, and with Chen Zibai's mediation, it is estimated that the word "generation" will be removed in a short time.

A fierce confrontation ended.

Gu Ming's hatred that had accumulated in his heart for a long time finally dissipated.

The next morning, someone came to inform Gu Ming to go to the county government office.

Gu Ming was overjoyed: it looks like a good thing has come.

Sure enough, as soon as he arrived at the gate of the county government office, he met Uncle Wu and his two sons.

"Gu Xiucai, you are our Wu family's great benefactor!"

As soon as they met, Uncle Wu burst into tears, and when he bent his knees, he wanted to kneel in the street.

"No, Uncle Wu, you must not do this."

Gu Ming stopped it in time.

"Uncle Wu, if you want to thank you, you can thank Lord Yushi and Lord Nie. Thanks to them for upholding justice, this unjust case was overturned."

The eldest and second child of the Wu family also stepped forward to respectfully salute and express their thanks.

"By the way, is your wife better now?"

This is also something that Gu Ming is more concerned about. After all, the second sister-in-law Wu is really too innocent and has suffered so much.

When this matter was mentioned, Wu's second son felt sad and nodded with sobs: "When I went back yesterday, she even recognized me."

Uncle Wu also said with mixed sorrow and joy: "It's much better, at least my mental state has improved a lot, and I know how to call someone."

Hearing this, Gu Ming couldn't help but nodded in relief: "That's right, after moving back, take good care of it, and maybe it will recover after a while."

While talking, the four of them entered the county office together.

"You guys came just in time. I am instructing people to prepare silver taels."

"Thank you, Lord Nie!"

"You don't need to be too polite. This is your new house deed. It has been stamped with official seals. You can go to claim your respective properties later."

"Thank you sir, thank you sir"

The three members of the Wu family knelt down in tears and kowtowed to express their gratitude.

"Okay, let's all get up. Wait for a while, someone will bring the silver taels later"

Speaking of this, Nie Hongshu glanced at Gu Ming with great relief: "Now, you finally have your own home, and you don't need to live in a grass shed with air leakage on all sides."

"It's all thanks to the adults!"

After a while, someone brought the bank note over.

After getting the silver ticket they deserved, the three of Uncle Wu thanked him again, and then they said goodbye and left.

Gu Ming also got 800 taels of silver notes, and finally got back the original owner's previous losses.

"Thank you, Lord Nie!"

"Okay, don't say these useless things. I'll ask Yu'er to come over and help you clean up the yard later.

Prepare the food and drink in the evening, and I want to come over for a few drinks, which can be considered as a celebration for you. "

Of course, Gu Ming couldn't refuse this request, he immediately smiled and said, "Don't worry, students must prepare wine, prepare wine!"

"Hahaha, good!"

After chatting for a few words, Nie Hongshu raised his hand: "Okay, you go back and look at your yard first."

"Um"

Gu Ming cupped his hands, bid farewell and left.

Walking briskly along the way, it didn't take long to arrive at a small courtyard near the south of the city.

Although this is not the most prosperous part of the county, the environment is quite good. There is a river passing through the city not far from the small courtyard.

The river water is clear and does not dry up all year round.

People who live along the river often carry water, wash rice, wash vegetables and pound clothes here.

Occasionally, a few small boats can be seen floating on the river, which can be regarded as a scenery in the county.

"Finally home!"

Seeing his small courtyard, Gu Ming's mood couldn't help but fluctuate.

Although he came from time travel, he has completely integrated into this world now.

This small courtyard is his home from now on.

"Gu Xiucai, here is the key to the courtyard."

A yamen servant outside the door handed the key to Gu Ming, and at the same time turned around and tore off the seal on the door.

"Thank you!"

Gu Ming took out a small ingot of about five renminbi and handed it over.
