Shi Sheng
When Jia Xiaoren heard this, he was stunned. He frowned and looked at his father, who nodded to him secretly.
Did Dad mean to push it all to Sheng'er
Jia Xiaoren turned around in a daze, feeling a little tangled in his heart. Although Shi Sheng is only his little husband, but he is now pregnant with his own child in his stomach. If all of them are pushed on him, what will happen to the child...
"Shi Sheng?" Luo Mingda frowned and asked, "What's going on? Come on!"
The servant named Wu Shun replied: "It was Mr. Sheng who wrote a note and told Xiao to send a letter back to Qingzhou, and then Niu San came over. The eldest young master didn't know about this matter. The villain didn't know about the husband. What did Lang ask Niu San to do until the day before yesterday when there was an accident at Jufu Building, the eldest young master came to the yamen to have a look. The villain saw Niu San kneeling in the courthouse, and immediately ran back to the restaurant to report to the eldest young master ."
"When the eldest young master heard about this, he guessed that it might have something to do with Mr. Sheng, because Mr. Sheng and Mr. Yu Qingze, the owner of Jufu Building, seem to have some personal grudges, and he has always hated Mr. Yu Qingze. And Mr. Sheng is pregnant now. In his body, the eldest young master was afraid that his mood would be affected and would be bad for the child in his belly, so he did not resist when the yamen came to arrest him. Our eldest young master was completely unaware, and he was completely afraid of affecting Shengfu Lang. The body, I want to bear it on my own."
After saying this long paragraph, the servant said to Jia Xiaoren again: "Eldest young master, this is the end of the matter, don't hurt yourself for the sake of husband and wife."
"Stop talking!" Jia Xiaoren gritted his teeth, his masseter muscles were bulging, his head was lowered, and his fists were clenched tightly, as if he was forcibly holding back something.
Yu Qingze glanced at him and sneered in his heart.
This little servant talked like a flower, how affectionate and righteous he was talking about Jia Xiaoren, the love between husband and wife, it was all bullshit, and at the critical moment, it was not to be used as a scapegoat.
Pooh!
Not a man!
In the current situation, if they were to put the blame on Shi Sheng, wouldn't Jia Xiaoren still go unpunished
Yu Qingze couldn't help frowning.
Over there, Lominda asked again, "Do you have any evidence?"
Wu Shun nodded and said, "Yes. I went back to Qingzhou before, and when I went to another courtyard, I found a note in Niu San's room. I was afraid that someone would find it, so I put it away. Here, this is the one, called The note from Niu San to Tongshan, this is what Sheng Fulang wrote."
While speaking, Wu Shun took out a rolled up note from his arms.
The yamen next to him stepped forward to take it and presented it to Luo Mingda.
Luo Mingda opened the note and looked at it, and asked the master to look at it, and then ordered: "Come here, go and bring Shi Sheng."
Four yamen took orders to go.
This miraculous turning point stunned the people watching from the outside of the courthouse.
"It's been a long time, and it's the little husband who is to blame?"
"Who knows? Who can be a good person who can specifically raise more than a dozen gangsters in other courtyards?"
"That's right, keep reading, maybe the results will surprise us?"
"… "
While waiting for the yamen to bring Shi Sheng back, Luo Mingda went to the back with several other adults of the county government to discuss for a while.
After returning, Luo Mingda asked Niu San to give the note to confirm whether it was the one he had received.
Niu San nodded.
After what happened just now, he already knew the plans of the Jia family and his son. If he wanted to save his life, he had better cooperate with them.
Seeing Niu San's confirmation, Luo Mingda instructed someone to give Jia Xiaoren a pen and paper to write a few words, and then used it to compare it with the handwriting on the note.
It's really not the same.
In a house in the east of the city, Shi Sheng was sitting in the room heating the fire, his brows furrowed, staring blankly at a place in a daze.
In the past few days, Niu San and Jia Xiaoren have been arrested and imprisoned because of Niu San's drug use. Jia Xiaoren's father and cousin both came over, but they didn't fish them out immediately, which shows that things are not easy to handle. .
The whole family went to the county government office this afternoon. He was lethargic because of his pregnancy, and no one called him. When he woke up, the whole family was left with him, two children, and a few servants.
After a while, the little servant ran in and said in a panic, "Mr. Sheng, it's not good, it's not good!"
Shi Sheng was startled, and immediately reprimanded: "What are you doing, you are in a panic, you startle me."
"I'm sorry, Mr. Sheng, but it's really bad." The little boy ran out of breath and said.
"What's wrong?"
"There's someone from the yamen."
"What?! Who's here? What are you doing?" Shi Sheng sat up straight from the chair and asked.
Before the servant could answer, a man's voice came from outside the door.
"The person in the house is Jia Xiaoren's little husband Shi Sheng?"
Shi Sheng stood up and asked who the servant was
The servant also told him by mouth that he was a yamen.
He quickly waved his hand and motioned to the servant to answer that he was not there.
The little servant nodded, then coughed lightly, walked out and said, "Masters, my husband and wife went out to buy something and haven't come back. Do you have anything to do with him?"
It was Ding Lai who took the lead. He glanced at the servant, then waved back and said, "Go in and have a look."
The two yamen at the back walked towards the house, so frightened that the servant hurriedly shouted, "Ehhh, this is my brother's room, how can you go in casually!"
However, with his strength, he couldn't catch the yamen. Shi Sheng, who was in the house, heard the scream, and hurriedly searched for a place to hide. In the end, he had no choice but to hide in a box.
The two yamen looked around inside and there was no one, and came to report with Ding.
Ding Lai frowned. Just now, they watched this little servant come in in a panic. He went in himself and said, "Search."
The four yamen quickly pulled out Shi Sheng who was hiding in the box.
"What are you doing? What your husband does has nothing to do with me. What are you arresting me for? Besides, I'll tell you, I'm a pregnant woman. If something happens to my child, can you be responsible?" Shi Sheng shouted, struggling not to let the yamen catch him.
"I'll be here to take you back to the county government office for questioning, please cooperate." Ding said a word, but Shi Sheng would not listen, he struggled, Ding Lai simply joined a few government officials to catch him His limbs lifted him up.
"Ah, let me down, let me down!" Shi Sheng shouted.
Ding Lai they ignored him and carried him directly to the county government.
When he arrived at the court, before Shi Sheng could figure out the situation, Luo Mingda ordered him to write on a piece of paper.
"Husband, what's going on?" Shi Sheng looked at the pen and paper, but turned around and asked Jia Xiaoren.
Jia Xiaoren's eyes flashed, he opened his mouth, and finally said, "... write it."
Shi Sheng's heart sank, shaking his hands and writing according to the above.
After writing, the clerk showed the paper to Luo Mingda, and Luo Mingda gave it to the master to read the handwriting. Then he pointed at Niu San and asked Shi Sheng, "Shi Sheng, do you know this person?"
Shi Sheng glanced at Niu San and then at Jia Xiaoren, knowing that something was wrong, so he shook his head and said, "I don't know."
Luo Mingda expected that he would answer this way, so he said: "In the early morning of the day before yesterday, there was an incident of entering the room and dispensing medicine in Jufu Building. The person who dispensed the medicine was caught on the spot by the owner of Jufu Building, Yu Qingze and his staff, and the person who dispensed the medicine was this person. , Niu San. Now, Wu Shun, Jia Xiaoren's personal servant, has identified you as the mastermind who ordered Niu San to administer the medicine. What's your explanation for this?"
Hearing this, Shi Sheng turned his head to look at Wu Shun in disbelief, then at Father Jia, and then at Jia Xiaoren, and none of the three dared to look at him.
His heart was cold, and he finally understood that they were pushing everything on their own heads.
No wonder they dare not look at themselves!
Shi Sheng put one hand on his stomach, snorted coldly in his nose, and said in his heart: "Child, look, your father, your grandfather, is such a person!
Seeing that he didn't speak, Luo Mingda asked again, "Shi Sheng, quickly answer this officer's question."
When Shi Sheng raised his head, his eyes turned cold, and he replied, "My lord, I didn't instruct Niu San to prescribe medicine, I didn't do it."
Luo Mingda: "But the note passed to Niu San was written by you. Your handwriting is exactly the same as the handwriting on the flying pigeon biography that Niu San received."
Shi Sheng paused, then said, "What note? I don't know."
Luo Mingda had someone show the note to Shi Sheng.
Shi Sheng frowned and replied, "This note was indeed written by me. It only had the words 'Quickly come to Tongshan—Jia' written on it, and it didn't say that he was to prescribe medicine. This does not prove that I was the mastermind."
Luo Mingda raised her eyebrows, this Shi Sheng's brain was still alive.
He turned to Niu San and said, "Niu San, you said, who sent you to prescribe medicine?"
Niu San looked back and said, "It's Mr. Sheng." Since both Jia's father and son have decided to push Shi Sheng, he will follow the trend.
Shi Sheng sneered and said, "Niu San, you don't even know who your master is? Can I call you?"
Niu San didn't answer.
Luo Mingda watched them tear up inside, and was very excited. He wished that they would tear up a little more and shake more things out, then he would be easy to deal with.
Shi Sheng said to Luo Mingda again: "Sir, Niu San is my husband—that is, Jia Xiaoren, who was raised to help him deal with things that he couldn't handle on the bright side. There are more than a dozen such people, and they only obey orders. He, others can't call. The reason why the note can call Niu San is because there is a special crow feather inside, which is their 'secret', if there is no crow feather Yu, the note is Jia Xiaoren's own handwriting, and Niu San will not come to Tongshan. Only Jia Xiaoren can instruct Niu San and that group of people."
"Sheng'er! You..." Jia Xiaoren turned to stare at Shi Sheng, but he didn't expect him to say this.
"I'm still pregnant with your child, and you want to put everything on my head? Hmph, it's your unkindness first, so don't blame me for being unrighteous." Shi Sheng glanced at him coldly, then said: Turned his head.
Hearing this, Jia Xiaoren seemed to be strangled by the neck, unable to speak.
Seeing that they stopped talking, Luo Mingda said again: "Shi Sheng, that special crow feather can't be found. Niu San also admitted that you are the mastermind. What evidence do you have to prove that you are not? Jia Xiaoren?"
Shi Sheng replied: "That group of people has been raising them for several years. Didn't they help Jia Xiaoren bring down many restaurants in Qingzhou before? Drugs, threats, kidnappings, what did they do? Didn't they kill two people? Can't you find out if you check it out? Besides, I only met Jia Xiaoren this year, could it be that I instructed Niu San to do what happened in the past?"
When the crowd heard it, there was an uproar.
These words came out of Shi Sheng's mouth, and the credibility was more convincing and impactful than what Cao Yuan said before. After all, he is Jia Xiaoren's bedside, so he naturally knows more.
Just in the midst of the discussion among the crowd, a person suddenly shouted loudly.
"Lie! Shi Sheng, you lied! My husband came to Tongshan to start a good life again. It was you, Shi Sheng, who had a personal grudge with Yu Qingze, and encouraged my husband to avenge you!"
Ouch, here comes another one!
Luo Mingda frowned and shouted loudly: "Who! Go forward and answer!"
In the crowd, Jafra came out.
Father Jia and Jia Xiaoren looked at Jia Furang, winked at him, and told him to go back, but Jia Furang gritted his teeth and stepped into the court.
He entered the court, knelt down and bowed, saying: "Caomin Jia Lin, Jia Xiaoren is my husband. Caomin has something to tell the adults."
Luo Mingda said: "What's the matter? Say it."
Jia Fulang said: "My lord, my husband and I came to Tongshan last November, and we have been doing business peacefully. Later, after my husband married Shi Sheng as his husband, he often seduced his husband because he was young and good-looking. Always instigating her husband to oppose Yu Ji, the purpose is to avenge himself."
Lominda asked curiously, "What revenge?"
Jia Fulang replied, "He has a personal grudge with Yu Qingze's husband."
"Lin Lian, you are talking nonsense!" Shi Sheng heard Jia Fulang's words and hurriedly shouted: "Sir, don't listen to him, he is just jealous that I took my husband's favor when I was young, and took revenge on me!"
But Lominda was obviously curious, and he asked, "What personal grudge?"
Jia Fulang gritted his teeth and glanced at Shi Sheng, then said: "Shi Sheng, he was originally the concubine of the Shi family in Tongshan City. A year ago, his family told him about the marriage, and the target was the second young master of the Zeng family in the same city. But that The second young master of the Zeng family is said to have been in poor health since he was a child, but, still…”
Luo Mingda raised her eyebrows and asked, "What else?"
Jia Fulang closed his eyes, his face turned red, and said, "There is still a hidden disease."
Hidden disease
Looking at Jia Fulang's face, everyone in the hall roughly guessed what the hidden disease was, and the expressions on everyone's faces were very exciting and varied.
Luo Mingda was also faintly excited as if he drank chicken blood, and he asked again, "Then, what does this have to do with Yu Qingze?" He also glanced at Yu Qingze.
Yu Qingze: ... It has nothing to do with me!
Jia Fulang continued: "Shi Sheng didn't want to marry the second young master of the Zeng family, he just wanted to find a better partner than the second young master of the Zeng family, and wanted his family to give up their marriage, and then he took a fancy to Yuji Snack Shop. The boss Yu Qingze. But Yu Qingze already had a fiancé, so he rejected him. He also publicly showed his love to Yu Qingze on North Street and snack bars, but Yu Qingze rejected him."
"Later the Shi family found out about it, and the Shi family grounded him. Once he escaped and went to the snack bar for help, Yu Qingze's husband and a guy ignored him and called the Shi family who came to him. Came here and took him back, so he held a grudge."
Jia Xiaoren didn't even know about this, and he looked at Shi Sheng in shock.
When the scandal in the past was said like this, Shi Sheng shouted: "Lin Lian, if you talk nonsense again, believe it or not, I will tear your mouth apart!"
Having said that, he got up and walked towards Jia Fulang.
"Catch him." Luo Mingda shouted, and immediately a yamen came over to hold Shi Sheng down, and by the way, he tied a cloth around his mouth to prevent him from speaking.
Luo Mingda said, "Sister Jia Lin, you continue to speak."
Jia Fulang pursed his lips and continued: "He later married into the Zeng family. According to him, the second young master of the Zeng family was in a wheelchair, not only in poor health, but also mentally abnormal, obviously can't... What, He was also asked to use his hands, his mouth and his mouth to serve. If he refused, the second young master of the Zeng family beat him until he was willing."
Having said this, Jafran's entire face and neck turned red.
When everyone heard it, the second young master of the Zeng family was really inhumane
This news is too shocking! What a big gossip!
They even pricked up their ears and listened with relish.
"How did you know about this?" Luo Mingda asked suspiciously. Such a private and humiliating matter, no brother should tell others, right
Jia Fulang replied: "In April of this year, Shi Sheng was divorced by the second young master of the Zeng family and sent back to the Shi family. The Shi family disliked him and humiliated him and locked him at home. He was not reconciled and escaped again. , and then I happened to meet him. It was raining that day, and I saw one of his brothers was drenched like that. It happened that the people from the Shi family were looking for him again. He lied to me that his family wanted to sell him to the brothel, I took pity on him and took him home."
Speaking of this, Jia Fulang's mood suddenly fell, and his voice became much lower, and said: "In order to gain my trust, he pretended to be pitiful and sympathetic and told me all about him. Who knows, I brought a wolf into the house and brought home a fox spirit. When he saw that my family was in good condition, he tried every means to seduce my husband. Later, my husband was seduced by him and had a relationship with him, so he married him as a little husband."
"And then?" Lominda asked.
Jia Fulang continued: "Since marrying him, my husband has been fascinated by him, and he often tells his husband that Yuji has affected Xiangmanyuan's business, and he tells him to deal with Yuji. I have heard a lot about it. Time. When I was passing by the study a few days ago, I heard him say to Niu San, 'If you want to eat more, what's the use of such a little croton powder? So, my lord, the person who instructed Niu San was Shi Shi. Sheng!"
Luo Mingda asked, "Are you sure that what you said just now was said by Shi Sheng?"
Jia Fulang nodded and said, "Yes."
"Okay." Luo Mingda said to the yamen who pressed Shi Sheng: "Let him go."
The yamen let go of Shi Sheng according to his words.
Shi Sheng stared at Jia Furang fiercely, and sneered: "Lin Lian, you bitch, you will die."
Jia Fulang didn't look at him, silently looked at the floor in front of him, and didn't answer.
Luo Mingda asked Shi Sheng, "Shi Sheng, what is your explanation for what Lin Lian just said?"
Shi Sheng said coldly: "It's not just me and Niu San in the study, Jia Xiaoren is also there. It was Jia Xiaoren who asked Niu San to put the medicine powder, and the medicine powder was also given to Niu San by Jia Xiaoren. He heard it."
Luo Mingda said, "Jia Xiaoren, is there something like this?"
Jia Xiaoren denied it, and said, "There is absolutely no such thing. I didn't know that Niu San arrived in Tongshan."
Shi Sheng snorted coldly and said, "Lord Luo, in order to motivate Niu San in advance, Jia Xiaoren took Niu San to the Wangchun Tower in the city to have fun a few nights ago. Niu San spent the night there, you can send someone. Go ask."
As soon as Luo Mingda heard this, he sent the yamen to look for the prostitute of Wangchun Tower and another little brother to ask questions. After asking them one by one, he confirmed that Niu San was brought over by Jia Xiaoren, and that little brother was the same night. The little brother who stayed with Niu San for the night.
At this point in the case, the facts have become clear.
After discussing with several adults, Luo Mingda returned to the public case and gave a stunned shot, saying, "Yu Qingze sued Jia Xiaoren for instigating Niu San to sneak into the Jufu Building to take medicine and deliberately murder for personal gain. The case is now being tried by this court. It is true, the behavior is bad, Jia Xiaoren is the mastermind, and Shi Sheng is the accomplice. According to the Dasheng Law, this official sentenced Niu San to be exiled for 2,000 miles and a staff of 100. The mastermind Jia Xiaoren was exiled for 2,000 miles, with a staff of 100, and Shi Sheng apprentice for three years. It will be executed after the approval of the government office."
"Jia Mingzhi and Wu Shun, lied in the court to fool the court officials and disturbed the order of the court, and sentenced to 50 large boards, and executed immediately! Yuan Changhe threatened the merchants and behaved badly, and sentenced them to 20 large boards as punishment, and executed immediately!"
When Father Jia and Jia Xiaoren heard the verdict, they slumped to the ground and looked at Lord Lu in unison.
"Wait! Lord Luo!" Lord Lu shouted loudly.
Luo Mingda frowned and said, "What's the matter with Master Lu?"
"Niu San failed to take the medicine, and the punishment from Lord Luo is too severe!" said Lord Lu.
Luo Mingda replied, "Does Mr. Lu know how much croton powder Niu Sanxia has? A pound. If he succeeds, I don't know how many people have died in Tongshan City now!"
Master Lu said: "Isn't this unsuccessful? This hypothesis does not exist."
Luo Mingda replied: "You are making excuses."
Master Lu was about to continue talking when a loud voice suddenly came from outside the door: "Master Cai is here!"
When everyone heard the call, they all looked back in surprise.
"Master Cai is here?"
"Where?"
Yu Qingze, Luo Mingda and the others were also a little surprised, and the most surprised were Lord Lu and Lord Zhang.
Cai Wendong is in Yunzhou, and the fastest journey from here is one and a half days. Even if the people from the Cai residence rushed to inform him the day before yesterday, they didn't arrive so soon, right
The situation is so bad.
Master Lu frowned, it would be bad if Cai Wendong saw him here and read his book at that time.
Thinking of this, Master Lu didn't dare to tell Luo Mingda any more, he quietly stepped back, and wanted to take advantage of everyone's attention now on Cai Wendong, and quickly slip out.
"Oh, Master Lu, and, is this Master Zhang? What day is it today? Blow the two to Tongshan?"
Master Cai walked out of the separated crowd, looked at Master Lu who was about to turn around and Master Zhang in the room, and said with a smile.
Being recognized, Master Lu had to turn around and said, "Oh, Master Cai, what a coincidence. I heard that Tongshan's case has been very efficient recently, so I brought Master Zhang here to visit and study."
"Oh? Really? Then welcome." Mr. Cai entered the court, and then said to Luo Mingda who came out: "Master Luo, there are colleagues coming, why don't you let Mr. Lu sit in the hall?"
Luo Mingda replied: "The prisoner in this case is Lord Lu's cousin. For the sake of Lord Lu, it is still inconvenient to enter the court."
"Oh..." Mr. Cai looked at the situation in the hall, then looked at Mr. Lu, and said to Mr. Lu, "I've been here for a while, the case is over, right?"
Luo Mingda nodded and said, "Just finished the trial."
Mr. Cai said: "That's right, then Mr. Lu can come in and sit down. I happened to be in Tongshan with Mr. Huang, the head of the household department, and Mr. Li, the head of the labor department.
When Master Lu and Master Zhang saw the two people who were following behind Master Cai, cold sweat broke out on their backs, and they were seen by officials from Beijing.
Master Lu quickly said, "We've also finished reading it. It's time to go back to Qingzhou, so don't bother."
Lord Cai looked at him and said, "In such a hurry?"
"Yes, these two days are also taken out. If you have time in the future, I will catch up with Mr. Cai again." Mr. Lu said humanely.
Master Cai didn't hold back any longer, and said, "Well, Master Lu, Master Zhang, walk slowly."
Master Lu hurriedly left, and he didn't care about Jia Xiaoren's affairs anymore.
He was already seen by Cai Wendong when he spoke for Jia Xiaoren just now. It would be very unfavorable for him to stay any longer. Don't talk about protecting Jia Xiaoren, even he himself would be unable to protect himself.
Luo Mingda and the county magistrate were dealing with the follow-up matters, and Mr. Cai and the others were chatting at the door while waiting for them to retire.
The onlookers saw that they had left the hall and gradually dispersed, and Yu Qingze also took the guys back to the restaurant.
Luo Fulang, who was observing the situation here in the next room, saw Lord Cai and the officials in Beijing coming, and gave a command in the ear of the little servant, and the servant went down.
Soon, the little servant came with two people.
Luo Fulang told them, their eyes suddenly lit up, they went out from the side, and then went around to the gate of the court. When they saw Mr. Cai, they knelt down and started shouting: "Master Cai! Please make the decision for the grass people! Mrs. Cai, Please call the shots for the grass people!"
When Lord Cai and several adults heard it, they immediately turned to look.
"Master Cai, please call the shots for Caomin!"
Mr. Cai bent down to help them up, and asked, "Two fellows, please get up quickly, what are your grievances? Go inside and tell me slowly."
Luo Mingda and the others were preparing for the yamen to put Jia Xiaoren in shackles and beat Jia Mingzhi, Wu Shun and Yuan Changhe. Hearing the sound, he also looked out.
The two who complained were a middle-aged husband and a twenty-five or six-year-old husband. When they saw Jia Xiaoren in the house, the younger husband immediately said loudly: "Master Cai, we are going to sue Jia Xiaoren for killing us. My relatives, and I have to sue the county magistrate and the prefect of Qingzhou for covering up the murderer Jia Xiaoren, in vain as an official of his parents and an official of the imperial court!”
When Lord Cai and the two adults in Beijing heard this, they stopped.
"What's the matter? Come with me, the two fellows, and tell me." Said, Cai Wendong took the two adults from Beijing and the two husbands to the next room, and listened carefully to their grievances.
Jia Xiaoren was shocked when he saw the two before being taken away, and a bad premonition flashed through his mind.
These two people were the victims of the Qingzhou restaurant incident more than a year ago, the dead child's Ah-Mei and the boss's husband who jumped into the river.
The two husbands told Master Cai what happened last year and they listened to them one by one. After that, Master Cai brought the two back to the Cai Mansion for resettlement.
