Chapter 391

After putting away the handprints of Heli Shu and his marriage letter to Chunxiang, Mang Ye was in the main hall of the Fu family and interrogating the reason for the arson of the Fu family and the specific process of colluding with the three arson thieves overnight.

Knowing that the consequences of deliberate arson are not something I can bear, I was arrested, but the three Fu family and the three arson thieves refused to admit it.

Mang Ye didn't talk nonsense to these people at all. Just a stick and intimidation made them say what they did as if they were poured beans on their bamboo tubes.

It turned out that Sang Ye refused to take care of Fu Laizi and others in the town's workshop. They held a grudge and planned to destroy the workshop and destroy Sang Ye, and even the Zheng family.

Fu Laizi is not a good person, and Qian Jipo is even more vicious. When he was young, he did a lot of evil things and asked people to set fire to the workshop. It was not worth mentioning to them. Even if burning someone to death, he would at most laugh at him as "I am not good at life", and he would not feel any guilt or fear in his heart.

Fearing that someone was exposed, Fu Laizi and others did not dare to do it themselves, so they found three arson thieves after being introduced by an old friend who had been together. Letting the arson thieves burn all the workshop was just one of them, giving Mangye a profound lesson. If they could burn the house next to the workshop and completely destroy Mangye and even the Zheng family, it would be another purpose of the Fu family.

Who would have thought that in Fu Laizi's eyes, the three arson thieves who were brainless, were no less scrupulous than him. Especially for the boss, he was reluctant to give up Fu Laizi's promise of ten taels of silver, and also knew that the consequences of setting a house and burning people were completely different.

Worried that if things get big, it will alarm the government and expose himself, he tried every means to get a token from Fu Laizi. This token was a golden hairpin worn by Qian Ji Po on his head all year round and showing off to the women in the village.

This golden hairpin was given to her by a kind guest before Qian Jipo became a good person. I don’t know if it has any special significance, Qian Jipo has always been reluctant to sell it. A few days ago, Fu Laizi wanted to hand the golden hairpin as a token to the arson thief. Qian Jipo refused to give it to her, and was beaten up by Fu Laizi before letting go.

After learning the whole story, looking at Fu Laizi and others who were dodging their eyes, Sang Ye felt that it was very likely that they would not admit their crimes tomorrow, so he attacked the three arson thieves:

"I know you were bewitched and did stupid things. As long as you tell the truth in the court in the future, I will plead with the county magistrate to avoid the suffering of flesh and blood. Otherwise, if you become the mastermind of arson, you will know what consequences will be."

The three arson thieves have long regretted it. They are willing to take this job just to get the money from Fu Laizi. Now that they have not received the money, they are arrested and are in prison. They will definitely not be able to escape.

The three of them hated each other very much for Fu Laizi and others, and they wanted to bite them to death. They were not willing to let Fu Laizi and others get rid of their crimes and become the mastermind of the arson!

At this time, when he heard the words of Sang Ye, he said hurriedly for the arson thief: "Okay, as long as you are willing to plead for us, we will definitely appoint Laizi and the others in the court."

After hearing this, Sang Ye couldn't feel completely relieved, so he said, "You must have heard of Fang's family in Yunlai County. Even the county magistrate should respect the head of the Fang family. It just so happened that I was familiar with the head of the Fang family. It was just a matter of pleading for you. But if you dare to speak in court, don't blame me for being rude!"

At the end of the day, the mulberry leaves were thick

The strong majesty is to tell the three arson thieves that even if they turn aside, they have the ability to deal with them.

As soon as these words were said, let alone the three arson thieves, even Fu Laizi and others looked desolate, and the twists and turns in their hearts were no longer visible.

Before dawn, Sang Ye and others escorted Fu Laizi to Taoyuan Town again. After hiring a carriage, the group went straight to Yunlai County. When they arrived at the county government office, Sang Ye personally beat the drums, and soon someone led them into the government office.

According to the trial process of the government office, after determining the suspicion of Fu Laizi and his six people on arson, they must first be imprisoned and held a public trial on a date. However, Sang Ye wanted to fight and decisively carried it out of the Zhang family when the clerk inquired about the case.

The Zhang family's base camp is in the next palace and has limited influence in Yunlai County, but it cannot be ignored. Soon someone reported it to the magistrate of Zhang County.

The next thing became much smoother. The magistrate Zhang personally spoke, and in the afternoon of that day, a constable went to Taoyuan Town to collect evidence. The evidence collection went very smoothly. There were burnt workshops, Chunxiang's confessions and neighbors' testimony. The workshops were burned and maliciously arson.

The next day, County Magistrate Zhang opened a public trial. Under the confession of the three arson thieves and physical evidence (golden hairpins), Fu Laizi and others could not bear the crimes of their crimes, and had to plead guilty in court.

As expected by Sang Ye, the three main culprits Fu Laizi were sentenced to twelve years in prison; the three arson thieves were accomplices, and under Sang Ye's entrusted, they were sentenced to three years.

In addition, the Fu family also had to compensate for the loss of mulberry leaves and the owner's losses. However, the Fu family's property was only less than eighty taels of silver, but the loss of mulberry leaves plus the owner's losses was as high as two hundred taels. The Fu family could not pay back the gap of 120 taels of silver anyway.

In the end, Mang Ye did not ask for compensation and gave all the eighty taels of silver to the house, which was enough to make up for the owner's losses and even the remaining ones.

This decision made the owner, who had resentment towards her and felt that she had caused the disaster, felt very guilty and rented another vacant house in the town to Mangye for cheap.

The matter was successfully resolved and a huge potential hidden danger was solved. Sang Ye breathed a sigh of relief, and Chunxiang and Zheng Sang's families were also relieved. Especially Chunxiang, she tore the wedding book into pieces in front of everyone and carefully hid the book with Li.

"Sister-in-law, thank you, thank you!" Chunxiang cried and laughed while holding Sang Ye, and she was unprecedentedly relaxed. From now on, she can accompany the children safely and steadily, without worrying that they will be snatched away.

"We are a family, why are you polite to my sister-in-law?" Sang Ye understood her sister-in-law's mood very well, and hugged her and comforted her softly.

Meng wiped his tears, pulled Chunxiang and said, "From now on, you can do your job for your sister-in-law and mother will watch your two children for you."

Chunxiang shook her head: "Mom, I plan to send Xiaoqiang to the school in the town so that he can follow the Master to learn literacy and understand the truth, and don't become a person like his father."

Meng was stunned for a moment, and then said repeatedly: "It's true. You can help you if you can read a few words. When you grow up, you will be cheaper than others."

Chunxiang breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Mulberry Leaf expectantly.
