Chapter 436: You don’t understand the affairs of the world
"It doesn't matter what rank he is in. You have passed the exam anyway, which means you are knowledgeable."
"It's not Bai Ding that Mr. Tan keeps saying, he will naturally look at you differently!"
Mrs. Wang doesn't care much about ranking. She just thinks that her son is great if he passed the exam.
Wang Yugui smiled: "Well, mother, you are right, that may be the case, haha!"
Wang Yugui looked back at the box of books, feeling quite stressed.
……
Early the next morning, Wang Yugui hurried to the county government office after breakfast.
The Jin Xiao'e case will be concluded today. Mr. Hai's trial is very exciting. He has to watch it and can't miss it.
"Ah, good morning, Painter Xiao Wang. Why are you here at our county government office now?" Liu Captou also came very early.
Wang Yugui smiled: "Captain Liu, isn't Mr. Hai going to continue the trial of Jin Xiao'e's case today? I'm here to observe!"
"Haha, Painter Xiao Wang, you won't be able to hear it today." Liu Captou heard this and smiled.
Wang Yugui was puzzled and asked hurriedly: "Why? Is the trial changed to the afternoon?"
"It's not that the trial was changed to the afternoon. It was yesterday afternoon. Mr. Hai had already completed the trial overnight." Liu Captou smiled.
Wang Yugui was stunned: "Ah, has the trial been completed?"
Unexpectedly, while he was catching up on his sleep, Mr. Hai had already finished trying all the cases.
"Yes, Master Hai, you know how to do things quickly. He doesn't like procrastination." Liu Captou smiled.
Seeing the disappointed expression on Wang Yugui's face, he smiled and said: "Painter Wang, I just closed the case yesterday, it's okay if you don't listen."
"Didn't you hear the most exciting parts of the past two days? You don't have to be so disappointed, haha!"
"Ha, that's right." Wang Yugui also laughed and asked, "Then what was Master Hai's decision in the end?"
Liu Captou said: "Yang Baozhu committed adultery with a woman, stole money and killed people. He was sentenced to castration and executed immediately. He was also fined ten taels of silver. Half of the fine was given to the owner of Wuhan University and half was put into the treasury."
"Zhang Zicai committed adultery with a woman. Although he refused to admit it, there were factual witnesses and circumstantial evidence. The crime of adultery was also found guilty. He was sentenced to castration and fined five taels of silver. Half of the fine was given to the victim, Wuhan University, and half was deposited in the treasury."
"Yang Baozhu's daughter-in-law Xu Tianmei committed perjury and was reprimanded by the adults. Because she has a young son who needs breastfeeding, she is exempted from punishment."
"Kong's Gambling House illegally engaged in loan sharking to induce gambling, and has been temporarily sealed. The gambling debt borrowed by Yang Baozhu was voided, and all the stolen silver of 1,080 taels was recovered."
"Yang Baozhu's twenty taels of silver were not taken into the treasury, Kong Da and Kong Er each played twenty taels of silver, and Kong's Gambling House was fined two hundred taels of silver!"
"Wu Da was also reprimanded by Mr. Hai. As a husband, he neglected to discipline his wife, which is really dereliction of duty."
"The one hundred and eighty taels of silver are temporarily placed in the Yamen and will be managed by the government. The store will be taken back to the Yamen and will be managed by the Yamen. Until the owner is found, the store can still be used by him to live in."
"If the owner of the eighty-two taels of silver he spent is pursued in the future, Wuhan University still needs to return it!"
"Excellent verdict!" Wang Yugui nodded repeatedly after hearing this, and then asked: "Then the Kong's Gambling House will be permanently sealed? They will not be allowed to open it again in the future, right?"
"Hey, I'm afraid that's not possible! Painter Xiao Wang, as you know, this dynasty allows gambling houses to be opened." Liu Captou sighed.
He added: "But the "Big Dragon Law" also clearly stipulates that you are not allowed to borrow gambling funds to lure people into the game, and you are not allowed to use usury in gambling houses to harm others!"
"Yes, so this Kong's Gambling House is against the law and should be closed down!" Wang Yugui nodded.
Liu Captou smiled: "Hey, if Yang Baozhu is the only one who reports, he still can't be banned!"
"It can only be temporarily sealed. After they accept the punishment, they can still continue to drive."
"Oh, Capt. Liu, their kind of gambling shop must have defrauded more than just Yang Baozhu," Wang Yugui said hurriedly.
Liu Captou frowned: "I know this, Master Hai also knows it."
"However, Yang Baozhu is the only one who has filed a lawsuit so far!"
"Master Hai has issued a notice, requiring anyone who has been forced to borrow money from loan sharks at Kong's Gambling House to report to the Yamen!"
"But I guess no one would dare to report."
"Why, why is this? Is the Kong family very powerful in the city?" Wang Yugui also frowned.
Liu Captou looked at Wang Yugui: "Little painter Wang, things in the world are complicated, you don't understand!"
"When you open a gambling den, all the usurers are undercover. Ordinary people can only admit that they are unlucky even if they suffer losses."
"Although they reported to the police and the Yamen will help them cancel their gambling debts, they will still have to live in the future."
"It's impossible for the government to send people to protect them all the time. Those people who want debts have a lot of tricks up their sleeves!"
"This Yang Baozhu, didn't he kill someone and commit a capital crime before he dared to report Kong in the hall?"
"Hey, besides, this Kong family can open a gambling house, and there are people at home, so it's not easy to clean up!"
"There are many doorways here. Haizhi County really wants to seal them off, but it is beyond its capabilities. There are many ways to do it."
Wang Yugui understood that the gambling house was too dark and ordinary people couldn't fight it.
The gambling house had a backstage, and Haizhi County couldn't move it, so he had to be cautious.
The laws of the current dynasty gave gambling houses room for maneuver. If they committed a crime once or twice, they could be punished with punishment.
Unless multiple people report it and it becomes a mass incident, it will be difficult to seal it permanently and the only option is to close down the business for rectification.
"Hey, if you ask me, this is all the fault of the current emperor. Wouldn't it be better if he just ordered that no gambling houses be opened!" Wang Yugui blurted out angrily after hearing this.
When Liu Captou heard this, he was startled. Fortunately, there was no one around him: "Oh, Mr. Wang, please don't talk nonsense like that. Damn it! If others hear it, it will be serious."
"Be careful what you say, be careful what you say! The Emperor's refusal to give the order is naturally due to the Emperor's reasons. We, the common people, should not make assumptions about the Holy Will!"
"Ah, yes, yes, I was angry with that kind of gambling house, so I said it without paying attention." Wang Yugui said with a smile.
Liu Captou nodded: "Yes, if the gambling house is stained, it will be bad. That place is worse than Yihong Building!"
As he said that, Liu Captou looked at Wang Yugui again: "Painter Wang, have you been to Yihong Building after it was rebuilt and opened?"
"No." Wang Yugui smiled and said, "I don't like to go to that kind of place. Why, Capt. Liu, have you been there?"
"Haha, of course I've been there, but it's all for official business, so privately, I've never been there." Liu Captou laughed.
Wang Yugui sighed after hearing this: "Hey, Miss Yueyuan is gone and Miss Shuiyuan is dead. Is there a new leader in Yihong Mansion?"
"Yes, Yihonglou's new top brand is called Xiao Meiniang. I heard that the old madam bought it from outside at a huge price!"
"Xiao Meiniang? Why isn't Yuan the top one now?" Wang Yugui frowned slightly.
Liu Captou smiled: "Hey, I heard that the old madam thinks the word "Yuan" is unlucky, and Yihong Tower can't even keep the number one name "Yuan"
"So, now the number one name doesn't need the word Yuan, and I heard that Xiao Meiniang is also very personable and refuses to change her name!"
"Meiniang, it sounds like a beautiful name, but I don't know if she is beautiful in person." Wang Yugui also smiled.
He suddenly remembered the untrue names of Yuhua, Shuiling, and Tianmei.
Liu Captou smiled again: "Painter Xiao Wang, she is the number one in Yihong Mansion, so she must be a great beauty!"
Speaking of this, Liu Captou seemed to suddenly remember something, and said to Wang Yugui: "Painter Xiao Wang, do you know the origin of Jin Xiao'e?"
