Chapter 752: Killing Chickens and Monkeys (3)
Yuan Ying returned home with a grim face.
Xiao Shi looked at his expression and knew that something was wrong: "Is there anything wrong with the barracks? If you want me to tell me, you should also pay attention to your body, don't work so hard." "It's also thanks to the medicine sent by Yunqing, otherwise Yuan Ying wouldn't have gotten better so quickly.
Yuan Ying said with a cold face: "I just got the news, and the prince said that he would retry the murder case of the Zhang family. Generals of the fourth rank and above in the army must go over to observe. In fact, when Xiao Yongchang was demoted, he warned Xiao Yongchang to stay honestly in the army and not to do anything else. At that time, I promised to do well, but two days later, I made a lot of nonsense in the restaurant. When he knew about it, he knew it was going to be bad. Sure enough, today I heard that the prince said that the Zhang family case would be retried.
Xiao asked, "Why do you want to retry the Zhang family case?" Xiao also knew that her brother had slandered Yuxi. It's just that Xiao Yongchang was demoted by one level, and she thought that the matter was over. Now that the case has been reopened, this is not quite right.
Yuan Ying untied his belt and said, "Didn't your brother say that Han Jianming bent the law for personal gain, but also said that the princess shielded Han Jianming, and the princess is ready to correct the princess and try the case in person." We have been given the order to attend the hearing the day after tomorrow. At that time, he originally refused on the grounds that he was busy with official business, but Yunqing had a tough attitude and said that no one should be absent.
Xiao Shi didn't know much about outside matters, but she also knew that the case was tried by Yun Qing himself, which was unusual. Xiao Shi couldn't help but feel uneasy in his heart: "The prince retried this case, why do you still have to go to observe." ”
Yuan Ying shook his head and said, "I don't know about this, but the retrial of this case must be the princess's suggestion." I warned him at the time to stop causing trouble, because if he caused trouble again, no one would be able to protect him. He poured two cups of horse urine and made a lot of nonsense in the restaurant, causing a storm in the city. ”
Xiao Shi said a little anxiously: "The child is his father, so what should I do now?"
After several years of husband and wife, Yuan Ying said, "Don't go to the princess to intercede." He didn't know about the Zhang family's case, at most he would be demoted to another level or suffer some flesh and blood. "With Yunqing's temperament, when dealing with subordinates who make mistakes, they are either demoted or beaten with military sticks.
On the day of the retrial of the case, not only several generals came to observe, but also invited several local respected old people, as well as ordinary people to watch from the outside. And Xiao Yongchang was also forced to come over to listen to the case on this day.
The first to come up was Zhang Dalang, the son of the head of the Zhang family. Zhang Dalang knelt on the ground and said the matter with a sad face, and then said: "My father has no other preferences, he just likes to play dominoes with the old man on the street corner, and occasionally gambles for a few dollars." The one surnamed Kong played a game, using chess as bait to lure my father into a huge debt and force my father to press the contract to sell the house. ”
Kong Yang said on the side: "It is obvious that Old Man Zhang is gambling and owes debts, and it is only natural to repay debts. You don't have the money to mortgage the house, so what does it have to do with me if he can't think of it. ”
Zhang Dalang wiped his tears and said: "My father only lost 300 at that time, and usually my father plays cards with a lot of money. But you insist that each son is ten taels of silver, and that my father owes you three thousand taels of silver. ”
Kong Yang still stiffened his neck and shouted: "Who played cards at that time didn't know that it was ten taels of silver, and everyone who played cards knew about it." He knows that he has to play, so what does it have to do with me that he owes so much debt?"
Zhang Dalang was very sad and cried and said: "If you hadn't bought Dong Da and persecuted Uncle Geng, my father would not have been fooled." "This domino is played by four people, except for one is a stranger, the other two are old friends who have known Zhang Laohan for more than 20 years, and it is precisely because they are old acquaintances for many years that they have been fooled.
Yunqing was shocked, and ordered someone to take Dong Da and Uncle Geng in Zhang Dalang's mouth. This case has been tried by Han Jianming before, and both of them have confessed. At this time, the two of them just repeated the words of the last time.
After the trial of the Zhang family's case, Kong Yangqiang's case of buying the pharmaceutical formula handed down from his ancestors was also tried. After more than a dozen cases were tried, not to mention Xiao Yongchang, even Yuan Ying was a little unstable.
Yunqing was shocked and shouted, "Bring the victim Dou Ying up." ”
Yuan Ying's heart tightened, according to the information he had found before, there was no victim surnamed Dou in the case committed by Kong Yang.
Soon, the guards brought a teenager. The boy looked like he was eleven or twelve years old, dressed in coarse cloth, and emaciated. When the young man went to the court and saw Kong Yang, he pounced, pinched Kong Yang's neck and said, "I'm going to kill you, I'm going to kill you." ”
The guards hurriedly separated the two people, otherwise, just looking at the young man's posture would really strangle Kong Yang to death.
Kong Yang came back to his senses and saw Dou Ying, his face was shocked.
Yun Qing patted the shocked wood and said, "If you have any grievances, you can talk to this king, and this king will make the decision for you." ”
Dou Ying's father was the one who went to the yamen to complain after being victimized by Kong Yang, but the government did not give him justice, and in the end, his family was ruined.
The Dou family's case is actually not complicated. Dou Yingtang's great-grandfather used to be an official, and he lived in three grades of official residence and saved a lot of good things. Later, most of the good things were sold, leaving only a set of blue and white December seasonal flower wine glasses, as the name says, this set of cups a total of twelve, January daffodils, February magnolias, March peach blossoms, April peony flowers, May pomegranate flowers, June lotus, July orchids, August osmanthus, September chrysanthemums, October hibiscus flowers, November moon flowers, December plum blossoms. This set of wine glasses is not only painted with seasonal flowers in various seasons, but also mentions poems, and the poems on it are in small seal style.
It is no secret that the Dou family has such a set of treasures, and many people know it. However, no matter how much money others offered, Dou Ying's father would not sell it. At that time, Dou Ying's uncle was the governor of Hocheng, and Dou Ying's father didn't dare to rob everyone if he didn't sell it. Later, Yunqing broke the pickaxe city, Dou Ying's uncle ran away with his family, and the Dou family lost their shelter. At this time, Kong Yang wanted to get this set of treasures in his hands and use it as a stepping stone to find a backer.
Kong Yang is also a very thoughtful person, not to mention that Dou Ying's father is unwilling to sell this set of wine glasses, even if he is willing to sell him, he has no money to buy it. So he deliberately did what he liked and became friends with Dou Ying's father. Then set up a game and dropped the package of Dou Ying's set of green plum wine glasses.
As soon as Dou Ying's father found out that the things had been dropped, he immediately went to Kong Yang, and when he saw that Kong Yang did not admit it, he sued the yamen. As a result, the lawsuit lasted for more than a month, most of the family property was spent, and Kong Yang's crime could not be cured, and the beloved blue and white wine glass was gone. Angry, Dou Ying's father immediately fell ill. A few days later, Dou Ying's mother went out and encountered a villain, and Dou Yingniang was humiliated and hit the wall and died on the spot. Dou Ying's father didn't come up in a breath when he heard the bad news, and he died of anger. At the funeral, one didn't pay attention, Dou Yingcai's seven-year-old sister Dou Xiaolei and three-year-old brother Dou Xiong were nowhere to be found.
The Dou family is a family of six, and after this change, only Dou Ying and his elderly grandfather remain. Old man Dou knew that his family was retaliated against, so he asked the old servant to take Dou Ying out of Ho City that night, and he stayed behind to deal with the aftermath of his son and daughter-in-law. As a result, before Dou Ying's father and mother were buried, Old Man Dou died. In the end, it was the nephew of Old Man Dou who helped Zhang Luo with the future. As for where Dou Ying went, no one knew at the time. However, Kong Yang used such vicious means to deal with the Dou family, and the others didn't dare to do it to him anymore, even if they suffered a big loss, they all endured it.
Kong Yang was arrogant for a while after Dou Ying's case, and at that time, the surrounding people wanted to walk around when they saw him. It was also after Han Jianming took over that because of his iron-faced and selfless style, Kong Yang was restrained and did not dare to harm people's lives. The matter of the Zhang family was purely accidental.
Kong Yang shouted injustice, saying that there was no such thing at all, and that Dou Ying framed him. These words made Dou Ying hate and tear him alive.
Yunqing Tie blushed, and immediately asked the guards to bring the villains who wanted to **** Dou Yingniang that day. The vicious immediately admitted that it was Kong Yang's personal entourage who gave him twenty taels of silver and asked him to do this. In fact, Dou Yingniang was humiliated at that time, and there was no one around. But in Ho City, as long as Yuxi wants to, nothing can be hidden from her.
After Kong Yang's personal entourage was brought up, he confessed very happily. Taking the initiative to confess can also avoid the pain of flesh and skin.
Yun Qing asked, "Where is that set of wine glasses now?"
Kong Yang's entourage shook his head and said, "I don't know about this little one." At this point, he didn't dare to lie and deceive Yunqing.
Yun Qing's eyes fell on Kong Yang, and he said, "Where is that set of wine glasses now?" Seeing that Kong Yang gritted his teeth and didn't say anything, Yun Qing directly asked the guards to torture him.
Kong Yang couldn't hold it back, so he could only confess: "After my seventh sister knew about this, she asked me for this set of blue and white wine glasses." I couldn't help it, so I had to give it to her. "The seventh sister that Kong Yang is talking about is Xiao Yongchang's concubine Kong.
Yunqing looked at Xiao Yongchang and asked, "Have you seen this set of blue and white wine glasses?"
When Xiao Yongchang heard Dou Ying say about the blue and white wine glass, his heart began to feel weak, and when he knew that the Dou family was ruined because of this set of blue and white wine glasses, his whole body broke out in a cold sweat. He had used this set of wine glasses to drink wine at Kong's place. At the time, he also said that the glass was so beautiful, like a painting.
At this time, Yuan Ying's face was already dark. Seeing that Xiao Yongchang didn't move for a long time, he asked coldly: "The prince asked you, why are you in a daze?" Seeing that Xiao Yongchang came back to his senses, Yuan Ying added: "If you see it, just say it." "At this point, if you dare to hide and pinch it again, the gods can't save it.
Xiao Yongchang dared to hide it at this time, and immediately nodded and said, "I've seen it." However, Kong said that this was her dowry, so I didn't think much about it. ”
Dou Ying looked at Xiao Yongchang and said hatefully: "Our family's wine glass is worth seven or eight thousand taels of silver, and all the belongings of the Kong family together can't afford to buy a cup." On the same day, my father went to the yamen to complain, and the yamen had already imprisoned Kong Yang. It was you, it was you who dredged up the relationship and released Kong Yang. It's all you, if it weren't for your help, our Dou family wouldn't have been ruined. ”
As soon as these words fell, let alone Xiao Yongchang, even Yuan Ying's face changed. R1148
