Chapter 401 The whole family became slaves

But Zheng Lin from the Zheng family always said that he was unjust and did not deliberately follow Guanhua to rob someone. Someone came to tell him that Xiaolianxian agreed to see him first, but because he did not dare to offend Shangguanhua, he sent someone here reject him.

Zheng Lin was not very old at the time, just an eighteen-year-old boy. He was doted on by his family, and his elder sister was a concubine. She was pregnant with a dragon seed. How could he bear such anger, so he immediately led people to save the child. Lian Xian, what happened next happened.

However, Shangguan Hua is dead, how can the Shangguan family believe his words?

Even if the Zheng family found the small lotus leaves, the Shangguan family would not believe it. I just thought that this was a servant deliberately bought by the Zheng family in order to exonerate Zheng Lin.

Because of this incident, Zheng Lin was almost beaten to death by his father. He had originally planned to get married, but because of Shangguanhua's death, he postponed the marriage for three years as a filial piety to Shangguanhua.

It's a pity that the Shangguan family didn't buy it at all and still hated the Zheng family.

Over the years, the two families have lived together in Jinling Mansion, but because of this incident, they have been at odds.

Zheng Lin is now about to be his great-grandfather, but he always remembers this incident and wants to find out the truth about that year before he dies so that the Shangguan family can believe him. He really didn't mean to kill Shangguan Hua. He It was deliberately teased.

Zheng Lin will die in peace if this misunderstanding is not resolved.

It was only then that Little Heye was able to survive. After the Zheng family learned the news, they sent two servants and Zheng Ying to Tianfu County.

The people from the Shangguan family are coming, and they also want to resolve the feud between the two families. After all, the two families are not weak in power. After fighting for so many years, they are really tired and don't want to fight anymore.

"Is this old woman Shui Ba Niang back then?" Zheng Ying stood up in excitement and immediately said to Team Leader Cheng, "Team Leader Cheng, quickly get the slave registration booklet and match the threads of this old woman's fingerprints with Shui Ba Niang Mothers fingerprints are a pair of threads.

"Yes." Team leader Cheng knew that the Zheng family was powerful and would not be offended. He immediately asked the yamen servant he brought to take out the ink pad and white paper, grabbed Aunt Han's hand, printed the fingerprints of her two thumbs, and then took the He took out the slave registration booklet he had brought with him, turned to the page with the deed of sale of Shui Baniang, and compared the threads of the fingerprints on the two pieces of paper.

Mother Han turned pale with fright, trembling and trying to deny that she was not Shui Baniang. But now that she was comparing the threads of her fingerprints, even if she denied it, it would be of no use. She could only think of other ways to save herself.

After a cup of tea, the team leader finished comparing the fingerprint threads on the two pieces of paper, and said to Zheng Ying and Guan Zhuo: "Two young masters, this Aunt Han is Shui Baniang of Linglong Painting Boat."

Zheng Ying exhaled a breath and straightened her back. Over the years, because of what happened back then, the Zheng family has always been unable to hold their heads high in front of the Shangguan family, but no matter how wronged they were, their grandfather would not allow them to go against the Shangguan family in person.

Shangguan Zhuo also breathed a sigh of relief. After finding Shui Baniang, the truth of that year was not far away.

But Grandma Han was a cruel person. She knew that she might not survive, but she would never let others have an easy time. She immediately pointed at Zheng Ying and said to Shangguan Zhuo: "Young Master Shangguan, it was Zheng Lin from the Zheng family who deliberately..."

Luo Wu had already seen the grudge between the Zheng family and the official family. With a quick movement of his hands, he rested the mandible of Aunt Han, dislocating her jaw so that she could no longer say slanderous words.

Zheng Ying was almost frightened to death. She glanced at Luo Wu gratefully and said to Shangguan Zhuo: "Brother Shangguan, this old woman is tricky, can you give my Zheng family three days? After three days, the Zheng family will definitely ask the truth about that year and give her An explanation from the Shangguan family."

Shangguan Zhuo thought for a while, nodded and said, "Of course it's possible. However, the Shangguan family has to send a servant to follow him to take a look. Brother Zheng has no objection, right?"

Although the Shangguan family also wanted to resolve the feud between the two families, my grandfather said that the Shangguan family wanted the real truth, not a fabricated truth given by the Zheng family to clear away their own suspicions.

Zheng Yingdao: "This matter concerns you and my family, so the Shangguan family can naturally send someone to follow." Upon hearing this, Shangguan Zhuo nodded with satisfaction.

Zheng Ying then said to Magistrate Xu: "Master Xu, two of my servants have recognized Mr. Lu as a fugitive slave from Linglong Huafang. Please go to court to review the case."

Magistrate Xu nodded with a smile, straightened his official hat, sat down under the high-hanging plaque on the mirror, and slapped the alarm: "Ascend to the throne and lead the prisoners!"

With an order, the government officials immediately escorted everyone in the Lu family to the court and forced them to kneel down.

It's just that among this group of Lu family members, there is an extra Aunt Lu.

Magistrate Xu frowned, and Master Tian whispered in his ear: "Just now, Magistrate Zou sent someone to send Aunt Lu to prison, saying that she was the daughter of a runaway slave and should be put in prison."

When Magistrate Xu heard this, he looked very unhappy.

Zou County Cheng was an old man. When Aunt Han was thrown into prison, he spent a lot of money to redeem Zou Yuzhen and Zou Yuwan, while Aunt Lu was imprisoned in the backyard by him.

Now that he knew that people from the two major aristocratic families in Jinling Prefecture were coming, he sent Aunt Lu here in a hurry.

You didn't send it earlier, but you didn't send it later, and now you send it. Isn't this a slap in the face of the county magistrate?

Xian Magistrate Xu was very unhappy. However, due to the presence of two distinguished guests, he could not scold Zou County Cheng in front of the distinguished guests. He could only suppress his anger and began to go to court.

This time the court went smoothly, because there were two new witnesses identifying Mr. Lu as a runaway slave, and coupled with Mr. Xue's confession, the case was decided quickly even if the fingerprint threads could not be compared.

Mr. Lu's status as a fugitive slave was confirmed. He was sentenced to be cut in half and executed three days later. His children and grandchildren were all registered as slaves in accordance with the law of slave begetting slave.

As for the daughter-in-law, she can choose to reconcile. Once reconciled, she will no longer be a member of the Lu family and does not need to be a slave.

Grandchildren can be redeemed with gold and silver because they have a foreign surname. The Niu family and the Yao family had redeemed their sons a few days ago, but their daughter was not redeemed. The Niu family could not afford the money, and was also thrown into slavery.

And all the Lu family's property, whether it was in the village or in the county, was confiscated.

When everyone in the Lu family heard Magistrate Xu's words, they cried and cried out: "Sir, we are wronged, we really didn't know that Lu Xiangfu was a runaway slave! Please spare us this time. If you want to kill us, we will find you." Go to Lu Xiangfu, we are innocent."

It was Lu Lao Er who said this. He was crying so hard that he looked at Mr. Lu and wanted to eat him alive.

Magistrate Xu sneered: "Unjustly accused? Lu Xiangfu is a fugitive slave. You are the children of slaves. You should be slaves from the moment you are born. You have been good citizens for decades and have enjoyed enough blessings. It's time to come back." .

Hearing this, Lu Laoer cried even more miserably. This life was originally good, why did it become like this?

Is it really Gu Jiake and his family?

As the villagers say, the Gu family is blessed, but no one who goes against the Gu family will have a good end, so is it too late for him to be nice to the Gu family now?
