He immediately said: "Master, please report it to the official. We can't let the old Gu family blackmail us like this."
Master Fu paused and nodded in agreement: "Okay, hurry up and report to the government office, saying that Lao Gu's family lied about being robbed and used it to blackmail our inn of a thousand taels of silver. Please make the decision for us."
Although Mrs. Zhang was afraid of officials, she thought that she had indeed been poisoned by Gu Jinli and her family's money had been stolen, so she said confidently: "Okay, just report it to the official and arrest Gu Jinli. Let's see how she can get married." !
But Mrs. Zhang didnt expect that the prefect had already disgusted the old Gu family to death. They were willing to commit suicide outside, but if they still dared to come to the government office to trouble them, the prefect would not be polite to them.
Therefore, when the government officials came to report that the Fujia Inn had sued the old Gu family by lying about being robbed and trying to blackmail the inn of a thousand taels of silver, the prefect sneered and said, "You don't want to let me live, you have to come here to seek death." .
I'm so annoyed. If I don't clear you all out this time, I won't be a human being!
The ancient prefect acted resolutely and immediately asked the owner, shopkeeper, clerk, two doctors, and guests of the Fujia Inn. He found out that Zhang was not poisoned, and the wounds on their bodies were most likely stabbed by himself. Because according to the location and direction of the wounds, they were all places where he could stab them, and they were not critical.
If a bandit robs you, can he show you where to go and avoid your vital points to stab you?
After obtaining the confessions of these people, the prefect wanted to directly sentence him, but Tang Tongxuan reminded him: "Sir, these people are terrible. Two paralysis, a lunatic, and an injured lame cannot do their work. Sentencing them to prison is just a matter of time." It will be a waste of food.
The prison doesn't support idlers. It wants to drag people to work in the mines or other places. What can the four disabled people like Lao Gu do? If you need food and medicine every day, why don't you empty the government office?
The ancient prefect was agitated. Yes, all four of the old Gu family were sick and could not work, so they could not be sentenced to jail.
He thought for a while and gave the Zhang family two ways. One was to drive them out of He'an Prefecture, no matter where they went. Anyway, they would never be able to set foot in He'an Prefecture.
The second is to directly sentence them to death and execute them three days later.
Mrs. Zhang was frightened and cried: "Sir, sir, we are obviously being killed, how can you do this to us? You should arrest Gu Jinli and sentence her to death!"
Gu Chengli also nodded vigorously, yes, yes, everyone in Gu Jinli's family should be killed, and then her family's business should be awarded to their family. Then their family will become rich and he can be the eldest young master.
However, Gu Chengli was a poisonous person inside, so he only dared to think about it in his heart, but did not dare to say it out loud.
The ancient prefect sneered and said, "Ms. Zhang, you are really vicious-hearted. Do you know what impact calling an unmarried girl to the court will have on her throughout her life?"
To put it mildly, you may not be able to get married for the rest of your life; to put it more seriously, you may be thrown out of the clan!
Zhang naturally knew, and it was precisely because she knew that she insisted on telling Gu Jinli.
But Bantou Zhang has already returned from Gu Jinli's house, and he has brought Gu Jinan and Xiaoji with him.
Xiaoji said: "My boss vomited blood. Our girl stayed at home to prepare medicine for my boss. Everyone in the house saw it. At night, my servant slept with the girl. The girl didn't even take a step out of the house."
Gu Jinan continued: "My second sister was at home yesterday. Although she heard about the old Gu family, she is a girl. She usually doesn't go out. She just gets angry at home. She has never caused trouble to the old Gu family."
These words made Mrs. Zhang almost vomit blood: "Bah, that **** Gu Jinli won't go out? Then who poisoned me last night? You are all protecting her, hand her over quickly, torture her, and make her confess. !
With a bang, the ancient prefect was stunned and scolded: "Shut up, guilty woman. The case is very clear. Everything is a false accusation by you. Now I will give you two ways, either to compensate the money of the Fujia Inn, or to be sentenced to beheading." Punishment!" As he said this, he didn't want to be bothered by the affairs of the old Gu family anymore, so he immediately said to the Yamen servant: "I'll punish you first, hit each person with thirty big boards, and then we'll talk if you can't beat him to death."
Its best to kill him.
The government officials immediately swarmed up, frightening Mrs. Zhang and Gu Chengli.
Mrs. Zhang wanted to hold on for a moment longer, but when the board came down, she could no longer hold on and cried: "Sir, sir, we were wrong... It's all fake, it's all fake, please forgive me. We, lets leave now and never come back.
Woohoo, these madages were dead, and she wanted to kill her alive, and then she hit the three boards. She felt that her bones were about to crack.
Gu Chengli was injured, and now he was beaten again. He felt that he was about to die. Between life and money, he chose life and cried: "Sir, we were wrong, please let us go. "
The ancient magistrate sneered: "If you don't eat the toast, you will be fined with wine. If someone comes, give them a sign and drive them out of He'an Prefecture. They will never be allowed to set foot in He'an Prefecture."
He then quietly told Bantou Zhang: "You personally drive them away and drive them farther away. Don't drive them to Linhe Prefecture. The students from each prefecture will go to take the college examination and the provincial examination where they will not be offended."
Zhang Bantou understood instantly: "Don't worry, sir. I understand the humble position."
Having said that, after Zhang and the others confessed their crime, they took ten yamen servants and picked up Mr. Gu and the four others in teams of two, and left the yamen all the way.
The common people followed all the way from the Fujia Inn to the government office. When they saw that the government office had decided the case and wanted to drive the old Gu family out, they were all excited and shouted: "It's been judged, it's been judged, the government office has decided the case and wants to drive the old man out." Get these evil people from the Gu family who like to extort money out of He'an Mansion!"
After hearing this, other people shouted: "The old Gu family has been driven out of He'an Mansion, come and see!"
The people in Fucheng rushed to tell each other and came to watch the excitement. The main street where the Fucheng Yamen was located was blocked with water. Bantou Zhang and the others drove the four old Gu family members to the city gate with difficulty.
Xiaoji wanted to run away to watch the fun, but Gu Jinan didn't agree. After Zhang and the others were taken away, he took Xiaoji and Zezi and left.
The ancient prefect returned to the back office after judging the case of the four Zhangs. He didn't say a word to Gu Jin'an the whole time. He was trying to avoid suspicion... Seeing that the prefectural examination was about to start, he had to avoid suspicion.
Although Gu Jinan and Xiaoji went back, Mrs. Chen dragged Gu Dagui to watch the excitement and pushed Gu Dagui in front to clear the way for herself.
Gu Dagui was hit hard by the person in front of him. He covered his nose and said, "Stop pushing. If you push me again, I will die."
Mrs. Chen heard the curse and said: "Pah, that's all you can do? Wasn't it awesome last night? Now you complain if I ask you to open the way. If you dare to talk nonsense again, don't go to my bed tonight."
Gu Dagui wanted to die, his face turned red and he cursed: "You stinky bitch, you have no sense of shame, you dare to say anything out loud."
