Chapter 932 Shen Jiang
Mrs. Zhang was also red-eyed. She had long lost sight of good and evil in her heart. All she wanted was to get money and enjoy herself. After hearing this, she immediately agreed: "Okay, just listen to my son."
In the middle of the night, after everyone had gone to bed, they quietly sneaked into the house and grabbed things.
That's right, they stopped stealing and planned to rob. It's just a few women and children. They have knives in their hands. How can they be afraid of them?
But they miscalculated this time. Not long after sneaking into the house, they bumped into a man.
The man was stunned for a moment. After seeing the knife in Gu Chengli's hand, he immediately reacted and snatched the knife from Gu Chengli's hand in two moves, then kicked him on the knee.
With a bang, Gu Chengli was kicked so hard that he fell to his knees on the ground. With a click, his kneecaps were shattered.
"Get up, brother, there's a thief in the house!" The man shouted towards the outside of the house. He kept moving his hands and twisted Gu Chengli's hand. Then he pulled hard and with a click, he directly took Gu Chengli's hand away. Dislocated.
"Ah!" Gu Chengli screamed, almost fainting from the pain, and hurriedly called to Mrs. Zhang: "Mother, please help me beat him to death!"
Mr. Zhang had been stunned for a long time. When she heard Gu Chengli's words, she came to her senses and ran away.
Gu Chengli's eyes flashed coldly, Damn it Mrs. Zhang, he was her biological son, she would abandon him and run away when the disaster came.
But Zhang could not run away and bumped into another man who rushed into the house.
With a bang, he was knocked to the ground by a man as strong as a mountain.
The man was good at martial arts and reacted quickly. He immediately suppressed Ms. Zhang, and with two clicks, he first removed her two arms so that she could no longer move.
Ms. Zhang almost fainted from the pain, but she quickly begged for mercy: "Hero, spare your life, please spare your life. We are just passing by and want to stay in the house for a night. We are not here to steal anything."
"Bah, do you think our old Liang family are fools? Would you believe such nonsense?" Liang Laoer stopped nagging her, took the rope from home and tied Mrs. Zhang up.
Mrs. Zhang cried and kept saying: "You guys have misunderstood. Our mother and son are really just passing by to stay overnight. You have arrested the wrong person."
After hearing this, Boss Liang said: "Stop talking nonsense. Our brothers are escorts and have seen everyone. You still want to deceive us with this trick. Please save it."
After Boss Liang **** Gu Chengli, he said to Boss Liang: "The second boss went to the Yamen to call someone and said that we caught two thieves. I guess they are the male and female thieves who have been rumored a lot these days."
Hey, look, Zhang and Gu Chengli stole things and also stole names.
Recently, things have been stolen from several towns along the official road. Some people have seen the two people, saying they are a man and a woman, but the woman is a bit older and does not look like a couple.
It doesnt matter, as long as a man and a woman work together to commit a crime, everyone will call them male and female.
"Hey, I'll go right away." Liang Laoer turned around and left the house.
While looking at Zhang's mother and son, Mr. Liang shouted outside the house: "Mother, daughter-in-law, second brother and sister, don't panic. The thief has been caught. The second brother has gone to report to the police. The government officials will be here soon. You stay in the house." Thats good.
Mrs. Liang and the others had long heard the sound of fighting outside, and were very frightened. After hearing this, they finally felt relieved and shouted: "Hey, we know, you should be careful. I heard that these male and female thieves are very powerful." Very, very never come up short.
The reputation of the male and female thieves has spread quite loudly in several nearby towns. Everyone is extremely afraid. There are many women and children in her family. Mrs. Liang has always been afraid that something will happen to her family. She never expected that these two evil thieves would actually coming. Fortunately, the boss and the second brother heard about the male and female thieves and came back in advance, otherwise their family would be doomed.
Half an hour later, Liang Laoer finally brought the people from the county government.
The government officials immediately arrested Zhang's mother and son, and spent half the night torturing them. At dawn, Gu Chengli finally couldn't bear the torture and confessed, admitting that the mother and son had stolen from more than a dozen households in several towns along the way. of silver.
But after Gu Chengli finished the crime, he put all the blame on Zhang and cried: "My mother forced me to do it. If I didn't steal it, she would die in front of me. I am a son, so I can't Watching your own mother die, you can only agree to her and steal things with her... Master Chao, I am innocent, it is all my mother's fault."
When Gu Chengli was in the Li family, he studied some books with the Li family's husband. The Li family's husband told them about the criminal laws of Dachu. One of them was that those who confessed or were instigated to commit crimes could have their sentences reduced.
And what he committed was just stealing. Although he hurt people, he did not cause any deaths. Moreover, he was young and the court's mines needed manpower. He would not be sentenced to death, but would only be sentenced to work in the mines.
As long as he can go to the mine, he will have a chance to escape and seek refuge with Sister Rong.
Mrs. Zhang trembled when she heard this. She stared at Gu Chengli and gritted her teeth and said: "You **** who has lost his conscience. He has the same virtue as your father and your father. When there is something good, he will fight for it. When he sees something going wrong, he will immediately Put the fault on others. Gu Chengli, dont worry, you cant escape this time, I will die with you even if I die!
Zhang was a ruthless person, and she put all the blame on Gu Chengli, and also said that Gu Chengli bought a knife with the intention of killing and robbing.
Gu Chengli's knife was bought in the county town. The yamen officer went to check it and found it.
Gu Chengli cried: "It was my mother who asked me to buy the knife, and she forced me to steal it. I am an accomplice, and she is the real villain!"
Mrs. Zhang laughed when she heard this: "Son, if you have done something evil, you must pay with your life. If you can't just push your mother to death in order to survive for yourself."
After putting all the blame on Gu Chengli, Mrs. Zhang said to the government officer: "Master Cha, I didn't hurt anyone, so I can't be sentenced to death. In our Dachu, anyone who didn't commit a murder case can pay with money."
Then he said: "My daughter Gu Rong is the concubine of the third young master of the Zhan family in Jinning Mansion. The Zhan family is a powerful family that has been passed down for hundreds of years. Everyone in Jiangnan and Jianghuai knows it. You asked me to send a letter to the Zhan family in Jinning. As long as When the Zhan family receives the letter, they will definitely send someone to bring me money to clear up my guilt."
Zhang, like Gu Rong, are both quick-witted people in times of crisis, and Gu Rong told her a lot about the Zhan family. When she told her these things, she frightened the Yamen servants into a daze.
The yamen servant hurriedly went to report to the county magistrate.
The county magistrate was also frightened, and he remembered the rumors in He'an Mansion, saying that Master Zhan and Young Master Zhan slept with two girls named Gu in He'an Mansion and brought them back to Jinning Mansion.
I guess the rumors are true.
He was afraid that the Zhan family would retaliate against him if he sentenced the Zhang family and his son. After all, a wealthy family was the most respectable, and even a concubine's family could not be convicted. Finally, he agreed with Zhang to send a letter to the Zhan family. As long as the Zhan family brings money to exonerate Zhang and Gu Chengli, they can be released.
Zhang was very proud when she saw that the county magistrate agreed. She dictated it to the scribe and sent it to Jinning Mansion.
Ms. Zhang was having a sweet dream that someone from the Zhan family would come to save her, but little did she know that Gu Rong, Gu Ya, and Gu Xiaomei were about to be drowned by the Zhan family's uncle and nephew.
