Chapter 143 The Merchant Case

The servants of the Zhang family were still dissatisfied with Chu Xiaoyun's arrest, but Pei Jin was extremely calm when facing the arrester, and did not resist the arrest because of the power of the Zhang family.

When Mrs. Zhang heard the movement, she stepped forward and asked with an unhappy face: "Chu Butou, I don't know what happened to my housekeeper. Didn't the last thing be cleared up? Could it be that the government deceived me that the Zhang family lost its head? Chu Butou had some old grievances with the butler of my house before, so he came here to make things difficult?"

Chu Xiaoyun was not annoyed, he looked at Mrs. Zhang and smiled: "Mrs. Zhang's words are wrong. If it hadn't been for the fact that the land was confirmed to be Pei Jin's private property, I am afraid that the person who is going to invite today is Mrs. Zhang."

Mrs. Zhang's expression became even more sullen when she heard the words: "What do you mean by that?"

Chu Xiaoyun still maintained a smiling expression: "Old man Li has confessed in prison that the corpse dug up in his yard was killed by Chief Envoy Pei Jin. Let me explain more clearly, the case of Wei Tang's death, Pei Jin is the mastermind behind the scenes. As for the specific murder process, perhaps Pei Jin can explain it clearly. It would be better to let him explain it to you. Hey, I don’t seem to have time. My lord ordered me to come and get him. Madam, if you want to hear For the story, please go to court tomorrow."

Mrs. Zhang looked at Chu Xiaoyun in surprise and anger, and wanted to say something, but was stopped by Pei Jin: "Madam, it is Pei Jin who is sorry for Madam's cultivation. Pei Jin will bear all the crimes and will never implicate others."

Madam Zhang burst into tears immediately: "Butler Pei..."

Pei Jin's smile was a bit miserable: "My lady doesn't have to do anything for me, the imperial court's laws and regulations, how can I fight against them personally."

After finishing speaking, he turned to face Chu Xiaoyun, and regained his composure: "Chu Butou, let's go. Since I've already tied up my hands, don't waste time here."

Chu Xiaoyun stared at Pei Jin: "Butler Pei is very personable. Please."

On the second day of the trial, the Wei family, the Zhang family, and the Gu family who were concerned about the case also sent people to listen.

In the hall, old man Li confronted Pei Jin face to face.Facing old man Li's accusation, Pei Jin confessed.Wei Jinghan slapped the gavel: "Pei Jin, why did you kill that Wei Tang?"

Pei Jin smiled coldly: "When Wei Tang was making a living in the Gu family, he relied on the big tree of the Gu family to steal my business many times. Once, I was punished by the young master, who beat me eighty times in public, and killed me for a month. I couldn't get out of bed. If it wasn't for my wife's help, I'm afraid I would have been kicked out of Zhang's mansion by the young master. It's such a shame and humiliation, I, Pei Jin, will not avenge this, and I will not be a human being! Back then he relied on the support of the Gu family, so I couldn't do anything to him So, now that he is kicked out by the Gu family, what's wrong with me beating the dog in the water? One person does things and one person is in charge, adults want to kill or cut up casually."

"Bold, how can you be so rude in the court!" The yamen servant beside him scolded.

Wei Jinghan was not irritated by Pei Jin's disrespectful words. He whispered a few words to Mr. Yu beside him, but he still looked indifferent: "Which business is it? The details of the conflict between you, please tell me in detail."

So Pei Jin, who was kneeling in the courtroom, brought up the conflicts between him and Wei Tang one by one.When Pei Jin was stating the past, Master Yu walked down the hall and whispered to Chu Xiaoyun: "My lord asked you to invite Young Master Gu to come."

Chu Xiaoyun knew that this was going to be a confrontation, so he resigned with fists to the master, quietly withdrew from the courtroom, and went to Gu's house to ask Gu Qingyun to come to the court to testify.

After Pei Jin finished speaking, Wei Jinghan asked Mrs. Zhang if there was something wrong. Mrs. Zhang was heartbroken, with tears in her eyes, but she could only nod her head and admit it.Wei Jinghan sent servants of Zhang's house to testify, and many servants of Zhang's house also confirmed that the butler had indeed been reprimanded and beaten by the young master because of business failure.

When Gu Qingyun came to the court, Wei Jinghanzun gave him a seat.After listening to the report of Pei Jin's complaint by the members of the Gu family, he was deeply moved.Faced with Wei Jinghan's questioning, Gu Qingyun got up and said: "My Gu family competed with Zhang's family for business several times, and some of the business was indeed in charge of the shopkeeper Wei at that time. Fights in shopping malls are inevitable, success or failure is inevitable, but I never wanted to be imprisoned because of this." The butler bears grudges and hurts others and himself. The shopkeeper Wei was implicated in protecting the interests of the Gu family. As the current head of the Gu family, Qingyun apologizes deeply. But the old man is gone and cannot be brought back. As a former employer, Gu is willing to do his best here Make up for the damage the Wei family suffered."

Speaking of which, Gu Qingyun turned to Wei Yuan: "If Mr. Wei has any needs, just ask, as long as Gu can do it, and if it doesn't violate the court's laws, Gu will definitely do it."

Wei Yuan didn't answer. At this moment, he was holding his grief-stricken mother tightly, and kept whispering comforting words, afraid that he might not be able to separate his mind from thinking about other things for a while.

When Gu Qingyun saw this, he understood quite well. He immediately turned to Wei Jinghan and clasped his fists: "Master Wei, Mr. Wei is too sad at this time, and Gu is not easy to disturb. But please be a witness, what Gu said just now, will always be fulfilled." .As long as Mr. Wei has a request, Gu will do his best."

Wei Jinghan nodded, and then asked about the whereabouts of Li Dakui's family.Pei Jin informed the place of detention, and Wei Jinghan ordered the arresting room to bring him back as soon as possible.In the case of Pei Jin planning to murder Wei Tang, the verdict was pronounced in court, and the death sentence was reported to the Ministry of Punishment for approval.

Pei Jin was taken to death row by the yamen servants, and Mrs. Zhang was almost paralyzed, and she left with the support of her servants.

After retreating from the hall, Chu Xiaoyun mobilized people in the back hall, and went to rescue Li Dakui's family accurately.Wickingham came to see him off.Chu Xiaoyun saw it and said: "My lord, I always feel that this case is a bit far-fetched. When I went to Zhang's mansion to arrest someone, what Pei Jin said, 'Pei Jin will bear all the crimes, and will never implicate others', I don't think so. I always feel that there is something weird, as if there is something in the words."

Wei Jinghan smiled faintly: "The evidence is conclusive, that's all. Hurry up and rescue him. This Pei Jin didn't kill Li Dakui's family in the end, it's his good deeds."

Chu Xiaoyun rubbed his hands: "My lord, can I go and say goodbye to my husband first?"

Wei Jinghan's brows and eyes are full of tenderness: "I haven't seen Xiao Shuyu for a long time, and I will go to see him with you."

Chu Xiaoyun was naturally happy that the adults were going to see their children.He told Wang Sanqiang about the mobilization of manpower, and he and Wei Jinghan walked to the small courtyard of the arresting house.

The two chatted while walking, and the relationship between the superior and the subordinate seemed to be very harmonious.This kind of harmonious conversation continued to the small courtyard in the backyard of the arresting house, and was broken by Su Wen who came forward with a book in his arms: "Why didn't your lord send someone to deliver a message when you came here? I didn't even have time to clean up here."

Xiao Shuyu is seven months old, and he has already started to learn how to make trouble. There are things in the house that he has ripped up all over the floor.It is said that active children are smart, and Su Wen made fun of him, so he let him make trouble, usually only when he was about to be released from office.

Wei Jinghan took the small book from Su Wen and hugged it in his arms: "It's okay, just order it as you like."

As he spoke, he teased Xiao Shuyu: "Look at our little Shuyu, what a handsome child. This little hands and feet are really powerful. In the future, he will definitely be a champion in martial arts."

Every time he saw Wei Jinghan teasing Xiao Shuyu, Chu Xiaoyun felt that Wei Jinghan was a person who liked children very much.It's just that the age of adults is not too young in this age, why is it so late to start a family?

Seeing that Wei Jinghan made the children happy, Chu Xiaoyun casually said, "When do you plan to start a family? You are so gentle and refined. In the future, your children will be as refined and handsome as you."

Speaking of this topic, Wei Jinghan didn't have the expectations Chu Xiaoyun expected, but sighed, pinched the tip of Xiao Shuyu's little nose: "Children are fate, you can't force it."

Chu Xiaoyun saw Wei Jinghan's unhappy face, so he didn't continue this topic, but he didn't understand Wei Jinghan's words.

Unless Wei Jinghan is infertile, isn't this a child that he can have when he gets married?Thinking of this, Chu Xiaoyun couldn't help looking at Wei Jinghan with a little more scrutiny.

Could it be that this young and talented county magistrate has some unspeakable illness?

Wei Jinghan seemed to know what Chu Xiaoyun was thinking, and he couldn't laugh or cry: "It's not what you think, take your eyes off."

Are your eyes that obvious?Chu Xiaoyun touched his nose, and withdrew his probing gaze.

Wei Jinghan teased Xiao Shuyu again, but suddenly said: "I received a secret letter from the imperial court that common people's xianleguo poisoning incidents occurred in many places, and the local doctors were helpless. There was once a common people's xianleguo poisoning in Jing County and us. The dimethoate poisoning incident was barely brought under control. The imperial court wanted to borrow our strength and send people to support it."

"People in many places are poisoned with Xianle fruit?" Chu Xiaoyun was also shocked when he heard the words. After hearing what Wei Jinghan said later, his expression and mood gradually sank, "Back then Hejing County could barely control the people from eating Xianle. The onset of fruit poisoning was because Yu He was..."

Wei Jinghan nodded, indicating that he understood: "There is nothing we can do now."

Chu Xiaoyun thought about the heart-wrenching appearance of those drug addicts on TV in his previous life, and couldn't help asking: "Where is Dunzi, isn't he a barbarian? Isn't his medical skills very good, and now In Tai Hospital, there is no place where medicinal herbs are more complete..."

Wei Jinghan shook his head: "Although he is good at treating knife wounds, making medicines, and antidotes, he has never seen the poison of Xianleguo, which can kill people if it cannot be used, but can make people die of pain after long-term consumption. His Majesty has already asked It’s over, he is helpless, now that the holy order has been issued, he is stepping up research with the imperial physicians in the imperial hospital, and he doesn’t know when he will be able to figure it out.”

"..." Chu Xiaoyun struggled in his heart, but he still spoke, "My lord, will Yu He never come back?"

Wei Jinghan said: "The state owns the state law, so it is absolutely impossible to be a fast catcher."

"..."

"But there are so many yamen offices in the yamen, why do you have to enter the arrest room?" Wei Jinghan's question came from Chu Xiaoyun's ear when he was silent.
