Chapter 124 Zhou's Justification
Early the next morning, the county magistrate opened a hearing on the case of Chunsheng's kidnapping and extortion.
Zhou was only escorted to the county town the night before, which was after Chunfeng left the cell.
Zhou really has to thank herself for coming later, otherwise, with Chunfeng's anger yesterday, she would be unable to escape.
The day before, Zhou was still dreaming of getting rich and receiving silver rewards, but he didn't expect that a few yamen runners suddenly rushed in in the evening and caught people directly when they came up.
Only then did Zhou realize that the matter had been revealed. Although Zhou was very timid when he was planning, he saw that the yamen sent someone to arrest him and almost urinated his pants.
He was just stupid and dragged away by the yamen officer, and even shouted for justice and resisted.
Uncle Chunfeng stopped the two yamen servants: "Wait, two masters, what's wrong? Why did you take the person away? There must be a reason to arrest people, right?"
Boss Duan said it very politely. This is a member of the official family. He dare not provoke it casually, but he must figure out what is going on.
"What's the matter? Ask your wife, he kidnapped your nephew and almost killed your nephew. He also asked their family for a ransom of one thousand taels of silver. Do you know if we should arrest people?"
One of the leading yamen runners looked at Boss Duan and said coldly, and after that, he still sarcastically said: "If you want to say that you are really poisonous, your nephew can do it. Be careful that you will get the life you give me one day."
After hearing the yamen runner's words, Boss Duan's face changed and then looked at Zhou again.
When he saw Zhou's panicked look, he knew that what the Yachao said was most likely true.
Suddenly, there was no sound, and Zhou was taken away like this.
The three Liu Xiang and his brothers were also frightened. It seemed that their father was not going to care about his mother's business.
This is not possible. If something happens to my mother, her reputation will be over in the future.
With a vicious mother, who dares to marry their daughter?
"Dad, you can't ignore your mother. If there is something wrong with me, what will I do in the future? What should I do with my brother? My sister is still so young!"
Liu Xiang rushed to Boss Duan and cried.
Boss Duan didn't say anything, just sat there silently and lowered his head and thought about something.
"Dad, you talk, dad..." Liu Xiang kept shaking Boss Duan's arm.
The youngest Liu Yun, who was on the side, was already scared and cried in the corner.
And Duan Qiusheng also looked at Boss Duan pitifully.
Boss Duan glanced at the three children and sighed helplessly.
Why did I marry such an incredible silly woman?
There is no way, even if he doesn't want to take care of the three children, he has to take care of it.
But the key is that he can take care of this matter, and he went to the county government.
But no matter what, I had to give it a try, so Mr. Duan entrusted his two children to his neighbor next door, and took Liu Xiang to clean up some money and rushed to the county town...
The county magistrate sat high above the lobby, and the gavel on the table slammed.
The yamen runners below all shook the staff in their hands at the same time, and shouted "Wei...wu..."
This scene is exactly the same as the scenes in modern TV series, but the spring breeze at this moment is completely unintentional to appreciate.
"Who is in the hall?" As soon as the voices of the yamen runners stopped, the county magistrate's classic opening remark that had not changed for a century came from the hall.
"The young woman Chunfeng, the young woman He Wanqing, today I will sue Duan Zhou, the Duan of Qingshui Town, and his group of people instructed Zhang Dashan to kidnap others and extort money and commit suicide."
Chunfeng and Chunfeng Niang stepped forward and knelt on the ground, saying with affection.
"Well, come here, bring Duan Zhou to the court!" The county magistrate gave the order, and Zhou was taken up.
Unsleeping overnight, coupled with the worry and fear in my heart, Zhou suddenly became much older and looked haggard.
As soon as Zhou knelt down, he heard the county magistrate be kind to him: "Duan Zhou, now someone sued you for kidnapping and extortion, and you can confess your guilt?"
"No, no, the adults are wronged, the civilians are not wronged, no!" Zhou was shocked and afraid to call for his injustice.
She didn't want to go to jail or live such dark days. She didn't want it, so she thought about it all night.
The result of her was that she would not admit this, she would not admit it, otherwise she would be over in her life.
"No? Zhang Dashan and his group have already admitted it. Do you still dare not admit it? Is it because I have to use punishment to be willing to take it?" The county magistrate glared at Zhou.
When he heard that he was going to be punished, Zhou Shi's heart trembled and said, "It's really not a civilian woman. You can tell me clearly, yes, it's the flower matchmaker who instructed me, not me."
"Oh, there is another person instructing me? Let's take the initiative!" The county magistrate raised his eyebrows, not expecting that there was still a hidden story in the middle.
"Yes, at this time, we were going to start with the Xiang family in Qingshui Town saying that their son was ill since childhood, and it is said that he had not lived to be twenty years old. This year, the young master was already eighteen years old, so Xiang family thought about finding a woman to pass on the family line, but I heard that it was a woman with a horoscope. It just so happened that my eldest niece had such horoscopes. After the Xiang family knew about it, they sent the matchmaker to bring a thousand taels of silver bills to ask for marriage. My brother and sister disagreed, but the matchmaker was greedy for the rewards that the Xiang family promised. The woman had found a private woman and came up with a kidnapping.
The method was not agreed, but the matchmaker in the flower matchmaker threatened me with the reputation of my daughter. The woman had no choice but to kidnap her second girl. She asked them what 1,000 taels of silver they wanted, but she knew they could not afford so much money and wanted them to agree to the marriage of Xiang family. Unexpectedly, they tied the wrong person and injured my nephew by mistake. This was really not done by the woman. The woman just introduced Zhang Dashan to the matchmaker. The woman did not instruct them to tie the people. The woman was jealous of the one thousand taels of silver. The woman was wronged and asked the master to understand."
After crying, Zhou knelt on the ground, kowtowed and shouted injustice.
It looks really wronged, but Chunfeng has already learned everything through Xuan Yi's investigation.
Chunfeng sneered as Zhou was acting there. No matter what, Zhou could not escape today. Not only could she not escape, she would also teach her a bloody lesson.
As soon as the county magistrate heard this, he immediately sent someone to catch the matchmaker.
"You said you had not instructed them to tie up people, so why do they all say that you were instructing them and that you discussed with them?"
The county magistrate looked at Zhou suspiciously and asked back.
