Chapter 240 Controversy

Since Shuijin came back to Yangzhou, he would not have been delayed in Jinling for too long.

After lunch, I took a break and took a break. Then the water went in and set off again to Yangzhou.

But this time he wanted to do it alone but couldn't.

His personal guard was still on the way, and the leader of the Ma village drew a hundred people from his personal guard and followed him to Yangzhou.

...

Today is October 17th. The gentry in Jinling City is concerned about Jia San's case, while the people are concerned about the closed city gate.

After dawn, everyone found that the four city gates were closed.

"I won't be going to fight again, are you?"

"I can't guarantee it, otherwise what kind of city wall will be built so quickly?"

"I'm just staying at the base of the city wall, where soldiers work in three shifts day and night... It's only half a month, and it's almost time to close it in just a few feet!"

"I just don't leave, and I can't go into the city... I can't say I'm guarding against fugitives..."

After a while, the last guess became mainstream.

Song Lin felt unfaithful. When he heard the rumors, he immediately asked the yamen to post a lot of red notices, which seemed to fit the people's speculation.

The notice was the bullies who had been accomplices of tigers and fishing the people.

Some escaped from Jinling while others could not hide.

In addition to these names and surnames, the notice also mentions "intermediate people", "international races" in rebellion, and suspicious people with unknown identities can also be reported. Once verified, there will be corresponding rewards.

The bounty of flowers is offered, and the bounty of flowers ranges from five taels of silver to five hundred taels.

The reward for reporting ranges from one hundred coins to one hundred taels of silver.

The eyes of the people were lit up.

No one cares about whether the city gates continue to close, and no one is worried about war. Everyone is staring at the strangers who appear near their homes.

It is difficult to find wanted criminals with names and surnames, so I don’t know where to cat.

But the scope of this unidentified suspicious person is wide.

Jinling City has a large population and has its own filth and dirt.

In two days, the Jinling Prefect's Office received more than 300 reports of various types, and seized three groups of human traffickers, nine previous wanted criminals, Goryeo, Oirat, Japanese, and fifteen spies from Siam.

The reward given by the Jinling Yamen is more than 300 taels of silver.

Even if there is a reward of flowers, a few people will receive it anonymously.

The public security in Jinling City is a scrupulous one.

...

On the Taiwei Mansion, Huo Bao did not pay attention to the movements of the Jinling Prefect's Office, and was waiting for news in Yangzhou.

Yangzhou is more than 100 miles away from Jinling, and then thirty miles by land.

Calculate the time, the Chuzhou army is already at the city.

...

On October 20, before the news in Yangzhou came back, the Jinling Prefectural Office opened a court to hear the "illegal" matters of Jia San.

After confessing to the documents of the accomplice of the accomplice, Jia San not only made a connection with the two cases, but also the method of "uploading households" and "changing land deeds" was also proposed by Jia San.

In this way, Jia San, an accomplice, became the main culprit.

If human life is involved, we should not be spared easily.

In the end, Jia San was sentenced to serve in a hard labor camp for seven years and confiscated his property.

All 180 taels of silver received in the case were recovered, and a tenfold fine was imposed as funeral silver for the two families and pensions.

The latter case was fine, and the victims were all there, and they got the ancestral land again, and they also received 990 taels of silver as funeral pension.

In the latter case, the widow's parents had gone, and there was only one uncle and brother, but he still received money from his cousin and his wife. He criticized one of the widow's accomplices, so naturally there was no reason why he got the widow's pension.

The widow's adopted son was also detained for murder.

Lord Song also convicted the adopted son of intentional homicide.

"Stop killing with killing" is not recommended, but the adopted son killed people because of filial piety, which is a "righteous killing", which is different.

Moreover, when the adopted son killed someone, the old wife of the clan and the younger brother of the grandson were by his side, they did not affect the innocent.

After killing, he voluntarily surrendered.

The widow's pension was nine hundred and ninety taels of silver, and it was the compensation for the adopted son, and it was given to the family of the deceased.

The adopted son was sentenced to twelve years in the hard labor camp.

It is natural to kill people and repay their lives, and to pay their debts.

Jia San's verdict came out, no one questioned it.

Although he did not kill people with his own hands, he indirectly killed three lives.

It is already a lucky thing to conceal the industry under your name but be able to save your life.

However, the adopted son was sentenced to twelve years, which caused many different opinions.

Many people talk about this case in restaurants and teahouses.

Someone said: "If the sentence is severe, the adoptive mother is also a mother. Avenging revenge for the unjustly dead mother is a filial piety and righteous act. Those who are killed are all people who can be killed, so they should not be severely sentenced!"

The clan should have sheltered the clan members, and the clan elders are also old and virtuous people, but they are greedy and the ones who kill the polite wife. They also use the "mother and son incompetent" to defame people, leaving no room for anything, and have already had the intention of killing people.

Some people said, "The sentence is light! The murderer dies. This is an iron rule in all dynasties! No matter what the inside story is, it should be decided by the yamen. If everything is fought, killed, what else should the yamen do? Even if the grandfather and grandson falsely accused people of innocence and seized people's property, it should be the yamen's trial, rather than venting anger and killing people, otherwise the world will be really chaotic!"

Someone said: "Is this world still not chaotic? Chuzhou Army... to put it bluntly, everyone knows..."

Everyone was silent and worried for this guy who dared to speak.

Although the Chuzhou Army does not have the meaning of "being guilty for words" at present, it does not mean that there will be no future.

Someone sneered: "What you are talking about is a lively questioning that Song Fuzun will not judge the case?"

“…”

I have to say that Song Lin’s qualifications for resigning to Xiao Jiuqing are quite scary.

Even if someone questioned the Chuzhou Army, no one questioned the justice of the new magistrate.

When everyone argued again, they talked about "love and law" and no longer talked about the differences between the prefect's yamen under the Chuzhou Army and the previous prefect's yamen.

No matter how fierce the arguments are, they are still outsiders, just watching the excitement and listening to the strange things.

...

Jia family.

Mr. Jia and his wife were in the game and were relatively speechless.

Mrs. Jia gritted her teeth and said, "I'm just saying, "I'm doing this with such a big fanfare? It must be that Jia Er was angry that the master gave the weaving factory to the third child and deliberately tried to do it. This is to rather confiscate than to get a discount from San'er!"

Mr. Jia smiled bitterly and said, "Is it still the time to care about this now? Didn't you listen? The murderer has also entered the hard labor camp!"

No matter how annoyed his son, he could not keep his heart at mercy and watched his son die.

The hard labor camp, you needless to say, you know what to do.

Now that the Chuzhou army has built the city wall, in addition to the soldiers, there are also hard labor, and what they do is the dirtiest and tiring errands.

Jia San has been spoiled for more than 20 years, but where has he suffered that?

Now, even if he endures hardships, he may not be able to survive for a long time.

In order to avenge his mother's revenge, the murderer even killed his clan members, let alone an outsider Jia San.

There is no need to kill people on purpose, just secretly find an opportunity to kill them. Who will care about whether he is a life or a death for a hard laborer?

Mrs. Jia said anxiously: "What should I do? The Wang family collected 3,000 taels of silver, and the third brother did not give him a light sentence, so he still had to continue to give him the silver?"

Even if he is a relative of his mother's family, Mrs. Jia is dissatisfied.

I am not afraid of them making money, but if I don’t try my best to make money, I will not be kind.

Mr. Jia stood up and said, "I understand. The Wang family is not useful... I have to ask the Shi family for this matter... You prepare the bank ticket, and I will go to the Shi family..."

Mrs. Jia was reluctant to get the bank ticket, and she was puzzled and said, "At this time, don't you ask the boss or the second one? It's just that they made it out and made the master bow his head!"

Mr. Jia glared at his wife and said, "The boss is not that kind of person, and he will not allow the second child to design like this!"

Because the second brother has already taken revenge.

Jia San is abolished, Jia Siyi is cowardly and cannot stand up. The Jia family is the last brother of Jia Yan.

Mrs. Jia wanted to say something else, but she heard something happening at the door.

It is the only remaining older generations in the Jia clan.

"Uncle Six, Uncle Ninth, Uncle Eleven, why are you here?"

Mr. Jia hurriedly stood up to greet him, and Mrs. Jia also stood up embarrassedly, following her husband like a young wife.

"What's the point of keeping her doing such a woman who is unkind and unkind and has no choice but to do anything about her? She's still going to go, don't be dirty with the Jia family!"

The leader was an old man, who was in his 80s, pointed at Mrs. Jia with a cane and scolded him.

Mrs. Jia was shocked and angry.

Another clan elder also echoed: "That is, the prodigal woman, 'talking', 'theft', and the main offenders are seven times, and they should have been gone long ago!"

This "verbal" refers to her bewitching Mr. Jia and alienating the father-son relationship between Mr. Jia and Jia Yan.

"Theft" refers to the two weaving factories.

In order to justify the two weaving factories to Jia San, Mrs. Jia had to do something first, replace the two worthless shops with her name, and transfer them to her name, which was considered as marrying a birth.

When a woman takes the dowry, she will give her to whoever she is willing to give her.

But this one can fool outsiders, but it can't fool the Jia clan relatives.

Now, it seems to be just right for the "theft".

Mrs. Jia looked at her husband and couldn't help but feel worried.

These days, her husband is cold to her, and she is afraid that her husband will give up on her.

In addition to begging, she also had some determination in her eyes.

She can be a "mother" but her children cannot have a "mother" either, otherwise she will never be able to raise her head for the rest of her life, let alone marriage.

If her husband is really cruel and ruthless, she can only be a ghost from the Jia family.

Mr. Jia couldn't help but smile bitterly.

The eldest son and the second son lose their mother at a young age are a miserable life. Can you still bear to let your young son and daughter lose their mother?

Not to mention that Mrs. Jia’s parents had already died of illness, and her brother was an official in the capital, and there was no one to rely on her family.

The clan elder said, "Although Wang violated the 'seven-out' order, he was mourning for three years for his elder brother and sister-in-law, and he belonged to the 'three-no-out'..."

When Mrs. Jia heard this, her eyes lit up.

I heard the clan elder continue, "It's just that such a person who is unvirtuous is really unbearable to be a wife of the Jia family. Go to the family temple to pray for your descendants!"

When Mrs. Jia heard this, her body became weak.

There is a rule in the Jia family that women who enter the family temple are allowed to enter but not leave.

It's time to stay in a state of old age and death.

If the children and grandchildren ignore clan laws and family rules and only think about their own filial piety and take it out, the entire branch will be expelled.

Mr. Jia nodded slowly.

This is the best solution at hand.

This is a result that both the clan elders and the Jia Yan brothers can accept.

...

Historian.

It is not surprising that Mr. Shi and Uncle Shi Cong learned about the results of the Jia San case today.

The cloth shop has been closed for a few days and the warehouse has been counted.

But how to give this thing is still a problem.

Whether it is the Taiwei Mansion or the Jinling Prefectural Office, it is a huge thing for the historians and cannot be despised and treated with a resentment by the historians.

"Why... my nephew went to the Taiwei Mansion and asked to see Master Xiaobao?"

Shi Cong was a "fugitive" for half a year and was afraid and distrustful to the yamen from the bottom of his heart.

He didn't like the way Song prefect did not do much.

Although Jia San has made a mistake, he has also been sentenced and confiscated. He should have stopped at the right time.

It would be a bit too much to send the enemy to the hard labor camp together with him.

It was just a threat to the old couple of Jia family.

They are reluctant to let their own flesh and blood go, and they must continue to jump up and down.

But in addition to Mr. Jia, the head of the family, the Jia family also has a clan elder.

Those people are not kind people.

In March, Mrs. Jia was able to take advantage of the fact that the Xue family was raided and successfully deceived her husband to remove her stepson from the list, and they fanned the flames.

Now that such evil fire is so evil, it is time to incite Mrs. Jia.
