Chapter 291 Heavy Sentence
Xu Tianfa returned home in a daze and told his wife about the Sun family's affairs.
Xu Tianfa's daughter-in-law turned green when she heard this and cursed the Sun family: "These plague-stricken people will not get into trouble sooner or later, but now they have their house ransacked. No, we can't just let the Sun family go!"
She slapped the table and said: "Go to the county government office and accuse Sun Yougan of raping a girl. Didn't the head of the government office say that as long as you go to the government office to report the evil things the Sun family has done, the county magistrate will use the Sun family's wealth to compensate Give it to the sufferer, we are the major sufferers, if we sue the Sun family, we can still get compensation, but if we don’t sue, we will suffer a big loss."
"Really, do you really want to sue?" Xu Tianfa asked, "What about our lotus seeds?"
Once you go to the Yamen and file a complaint, everyone will know about it.
"What should we do?" Xu Tianfa's wife pulled out Xu Lianzi who was eavesdropping at the door, pointed at her belly and said: "This shameless bitch has been ruined long ago, what else can we do? Wait until this matter is over. , just find a widower for her to marry."
Xu Lianzi's ears were pinched, but she didn't care about the pain. She cried and asked Xu Tianfa: "Dad, did the Sun family really commit a crime and the whole family was arrested?"
"Everyone was arrested. Even the big house was sealed and no one was allowed in." Xu Tianfa cried sadly, feeling very unhappy when he thought that his family's plan had come to nothing.
"Ooooooo, what can I do?" Xu Lianzi cried out in pain.
She knew that Sun Youqian just wanted to play with her and was not serious, but her family also wanted to use her innocence to gain access to the Sun family so that they could help the family in the future.
Unexpectedly, things were almost done, but something like this happened to the Sun family.
"You bitch, you still have the nerve to cry. Stop crying now. If you have to go to the county government to cry, cry harder so that you can get more compensation." Xu Tianfa's wife taught Xu Lianzi a few words and told her to bite her. It was Sun Youqian who had taken her by force, and when she finally found out she was pregnant, her family had no choice but to go to the Sun family, hoping to marry Sun Youqian and give the child a proper status.
"Remember, don't say the wrong thing. If the county magistrate knows that you are voluntary, you will not be able to get compensation."
Xu Lianzi cried and nodded: "Yes, my daughter has remembered it."
Then he asked: "What should I do with the child in my belly?"
Xu Tianfa's wife snorted disdainfully: "Such an evil fetus will naturally be lost. Do you still want to give birth to it? Hurry up, stop talking nonsense, and go to the county seat now."
Then he said to his two sons who were busy working in the kitchen and said: "You two bastards, let me take care of the house, and don't lose anything. Don't eat the eggs and other things at home. If they are missing, I will come back." I can’t spare you.”
"I know, mother." The two sons of the Xu family agreed quickly, fearing that their mother would rush into the kitchen and see them making cakes with white flour.
After hearing this, Xu Tianfa's daughter-in-law immediately grabbed Xu Tianfa and Xu Lianzi, rushed to the county government office, and accused Sun Yougan of raping a civilian girl.
Naturally, Sun Youqian tried his best to deny it, but it was no use. After Xu Lianzi knew that the Sun family had committed a serious crime and that all their land, house, shop, and money had been confiscated, he became so cruel that he hit a brick wall in court and was stopped by Xu Tianfa's wife. , mother and daughter hugged each other and cried.
The county magistrate had a headache from their crying. For the sake of sharing the same surname, he convicted Sun Youqian of raping Xu Lianzi. After obtaining Xue Mingyu's consent, he gave Xu Lianzi twenty taels of silver as compensation.
Twenty taels of silver was quite a lot. After Xu Lianzi got the money, he spent 5 taels of silver to have the baby and have a baby. After giving the family another 10 taels of silver, he could still have five taels of silver for his dowry.
With these five taels of silver, it would be easier for her to get married again, after all, there were many bachelors in Chu.
When Widow Zhou heard about this, she also ran to the county government to play drums and accused Sun Yougan of raping a woman from a good family.
The county magistrate looked at the mature Widow Zhou, and then at Sun Yougan, who had red lips and white teeth and was fresh and tender. He almost couldn't help but vomit. He thought it was a rumor, but it turned out to be true... What is this? !
Widow Zhou is desperate. Anyway, there are rumors everywhere in the county that she has something to do with Sun. Tianfu County can't stay any longer. She will sue Sun for having done something. She will get twenty taels of silver, and then sell the family house and bring her fine shoes with her. It would be much easier for the children to live with their cousin in Fucheng than to be scolded in the back in Tianfu County.
Widow Zhou was a veteran of the world. She burst into tears and accused Sun Youqian. She spoke so openly that even the county magistrate was frightened and quickly stopped her: "That's enough, Zhou Tang. I already know your grievances. You don't need to do anything more." Say no more."
How could he be so shameless and even talk about the details? He and his master were scholars, how could they handle this?
County Magistrate Xu asked Xue Mingyu: "Mr. Xue, the Sun family is your Xue family's wealth. Are you willing to give another twenty taels of silver to the Zhou Tang family?"
Xue Mingyu has suffered all kinds of serious sins in his life. Now that he has received his revenge, he doesn't mind giving up some of his family wealth. He nodded and said, "Just let the magistrate make the decision. I have no objections."
He knew that Widow Zhou had children to raise, and it was wrong to be a mother, but it was innocent to be a child. Xue Mingyu is a person who has suffered a lot. Now that he is old, he is always willing to form a good relationship.
Magistrate Xu was very happy and praised: "Mr. Xue is very righteous." He sentenced the Sun family to compensate the widow Zhou twenty taels of silver.
Widow Zhou got the money and left happily without even looking at Sun Youqian.
In the case of the Sun family, all the witnesses and material evidence were available, and the county magistrate quickly ruled that the old man of the Sun family had sought money and killed someone, but it was a pity that he had passed away long ago, otherwise he would have been sentenced to death.
Sun Fuxiong knew about it but did not report it. He committed the crime of harboring and was beaten with a cane for thirty years and sent to work in the official mines.
Sun Youqian committed the crime of seizing a good girl, twice. This was a serious crime. He was originally going to be sentenced to death and then exiled. However, the county magistrate thought that there was a shortage of people in the official mines, so he was exempted from death penalty and was directly sent to the Working in the official mine.
The male and female members of the Sun family, including Ge Wenhao's family, all grew up eating stolen goods. They were considered accomplices and were consigned to slavery.
After hearing this, the Sun family and Ge Wenhao's family cried bitterly in the hall. Especially Ge Wenhao's family felt that their family had been wronged to death and had been implicated by the Sun family. They cried and asked the county magistrate to change the sentence.
Magistrate Xu ignored them, finished handling the Sun family's case, and returned to Houya happily.
Seeing that the Ge family dared to cause trouble, Team Leader Yang asked the government officials to take them into custody, beat them ten times each, and took them to the county government prison.
Xue Mingyu cried bitterly when he saw everyone from the Sun family and the Ge family being taken to prison. He originally thought that he would never be able to take revenge in this life, but unexpectedly, when he was about to die, his great revenge would be avenged.
Master Tian looked at Xue Mingyu and said to him: "Mr. Xue, if no new victim comes to sue the Sun family within this month, all the Sun family's wealth can be given to you."
Then he said: "Most of your Xue family's wealth has been obtained by the Gao County Magistrate's family. The Gao family is in Zhongzhou, far away from He'an Mansion. After several decades, I don't know what the Gao family is like. The remaining We still don’t know how much of our family wealth we can get back.”
