Chapter 76

  Three days later, what Chu Xiaoyun wanted to verify had been verified. Wei Jinghan was promoted to the hall, and outside the county government hall, many people who were curious about the case that had been pending for several years and had bizarre plots came to watch the excitement.

When Gu Yuanwai and his wife saw their son in court, they ran over to hug each other and cry; Zhou Sheng couldn't help being overjoyed to see that his sister was still alive, and held her hand to ask questions.

Standing in the courtroom, Chu Xiaoyun could see clearly. Since entering the courtroom, Zhou Ying's gaze had been looking for Gu Qingyun, and after finding it, he would not let go of it; opened.

Zhou Ying's disappointment can be imagined.

After hugging her son and crying, Gu Yuanwai and his wife also came to Zhou Ying, and Gu's mother hugged her and cried loudly: "Good boy, you have suffered all these years." "Mother."

Zhou Ying shouted, turning her back He hugged Gu's mother and burst into tears.

Gu Yuanwai also wiped his tears from the side: "It's good to be safe, good to be safe."

Gu Qingyun who was on the side saw it, coughed twice and said, "Mother, this is in the courtroom, so don't ask people to read jokes, and embarrass the county magistrate." "

"Oh, good, good." Gu's mother let go of Zhou Ying, and wiped the tears on her face with her sleeve, "Look at me, I'm so happy, I forget all the rules." Gu's mother let go of Zhou Ying

. For a moment, Zhou Ying looked at Gu Qingyun with an indescribably sad look.

Seeing this scene, the people watching outside the court also talked a lot.

"Unexpectedly, Mrs. Gu's young lady is not dead."

"I don't know where she has been these few years?"

"Yeah, for so many years, he sued the Gu family every day, but she didn't come out to say anything." "

I heard that she ran away with someone, and then she came back after that person committed a crime."

"No way , is there such a thing?"

"Now the county magistrate is about to be promoted, so it's better not to talk nonsense about the disappearance." "Yes, yes

, let's listen to how the adults pronounce the sentence."

Hearing the discussion of the people With bitterness in her heart, Zhou Ying picked up her sleeve and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.

Seeing that everyone in the hall was about to vent their emotions, Wei Jinghan slapped the gavel and

said, "Ascension!"

"Pa——" Wei Jinghan patted the gavel again and said, "Zhou Sheng, three years ago you sued your brother-in-law Gu Qingyun for murdering his wife and killing your sister Zhou Ying, and now your sister Zhou Ying is standing in front of you. What do you say?"

Zhou Sheng knelt down with a "plop", and said repeatedly: "My lord, Cao Min withdraws the complaint. Cao Min's sister has been missing for many years and has never been seen. Because her brother-in-law beat her on the day she disappeared, she was suspected of being murdered by her brother-in-law. Harmful. Caomin didn't know the situation would be like this. I hope you will forgive me." "

Also, Caomin would like to apologize to my brother-in-law and his family." After saying that, Zhou Sheng turned around and knelt down to Gu Qingyun and Gu's parents. Knocked several heads.

"But your sister disappeared for only two days, and you went to the yamen to sue. It stands to reason that since the two of you are in-laws, why are you not jointly looking for someone, but mutual suspicion?" Wei Jinghan asked, "Who told you to come to the county yamen to sue?" ?"

Zhou Sheng was taken aback when he heard the words, and turned to kneel and kowtow again: "My... my lord..."

He also stuttered.

"Say." Wei Jinghan said.

"Yes...it's Zhuang Di. Zhuang Di asked me to complain. He said that my sister was beaten by Gu Qingyun, and that Gu Qingyun scolded my sister, saying that it would be better for her to die outside. Then the servant Tian of the Gu family Geng also confirmed to me that brother-in-law Gu Qingyun did say that. Reminiscent of the recent change in brother-in-law's attitude towards me and my sister, I believed him." Wei Jinghan nodded: "Is there any concealment?

"

Zhou Sheng said: "There is absolutely no concealment."

Wei Jinghan asked: "Where did your wife and children go?"

Zhou Sheng was dumbfounded.

"It is rumored that you separated your wife and children because you sought justice for your younger sister. Is that true?" Wei Jinghan asked.

"...Yes..." Zhou Sheng muttered.

"Hmph!" Wei Jinghan said coldly, "Who lives in the innermost two-story courtyard in Xinyuan Lane, Gannan Road, Qingzhou Prefecture? Who bought the property?" Zhou Sheng slumped on the ground

.

"Pa——" Wei Jinghan patted the gavel: "Zhou Sheng, why didn't you answer the county's question?"

Zhou Sheng lay on the ground, unable to lift his head for a long time: "My lord, my lord, the grass people know their mistakes. That property It was built by the grass-roots people, and the wives and children of the grass-roots people live in it."

Zhou Sheng's words fell, and discussions among the listening people arose.

"Hey, I thought this brother sued everywhere to seek justice for his sister, but unexpectedly it was for money.

" Young master, I just want people to lose money."

...

Zhou Sheng said that Zhuang Di funded him to sue Gu Qingyun: "Zhuang Di said that he and Gu Qingyun have been friends for many years, and the reason why he is willing to help me is that he can't understand Gu Qingyun's bullying. He said that according to his observation, my sister should be the one who was raped. There is no doubt that Gu Qingyun was harmed, because Gu Qingyun complained to him many times that my sister was too burdensome and had the idea of ​​remarrying. He was only worried about his reputation, so he did not divorce his wife. My sister died, which happened to be in line with his divorce Plan. I accepted his funding. Later, when a man with blisters was found at the Red River Wharf, he made an autopsy and found that it was my sister. I wanted to get justice for her even more, so I followed Zhuang Di's orders." "My lord, the grass people did this

. Everything is being deceived. If you don't believe me, you can ask Zhuang Di to come and ask questions." Zhou Sheng said sadly.

Wei Jinghan said: "Zhuang Di was involved in a serious case and fled in fear of crime. He is still under arrest by the court." "

Huh?" Zhou Sheng was paralyzed when he heard the words.

When Wei Jinghan talked about Zhuang Di absconding in fear of crime, there was another discussion in the hall.

"Zhuang Di, is that the Zhuang Di that we all know?" "

That Zhuang Di who is known as the Confucian businessman

?

" How can a person who reads sage books do such nasty things." "

Hey, I didn't expect Zhou Ying to suffer so much that day." "Yeah,

it's really pitiful. I don't think she is the kind of person who climbs up and steps down. "

" "It's just like this, what does the young master of Gu's mansion think?" "

Hey, it's true if you say so. Gu's mansion is a well-known family of Confucian merchants in our Hejing county. The young master is a famous person in Pingjiang and the area, can his family accept it?"

Wei Jinghan patted the gavel and restored the silence in the courtroom: "The county will know clearly whether it is true or not. You should tell what you know one by one, and you must not hide anything." "Yes, Caomin understands. Caomin

absolutely I dare not hide anything." Zhou Sheng kowtowed and said, "Although I really want to seek justice for my sister, but I have sued many times but it has no effect, so I am a little discouraged. I have doubts about Zhuang Di's so-called righteousness, especially He was originally on good terms with Gu Qingyun, why is he so kind to help me?" "

The more I think about it, the more afraid I become. Both of them are rich and powerful, and I can't afford to offend anyone, so I don't want to go into this troubled water again. Especially the former county Lord Ling sentenced me to false accusation and beat me with dozens of water and fire sticks. I couldn't bear the crime, so I didn't plan to sue again. After Zhuang Di found out, he came to me and claimed that if I didn't sue, when Gu Qingyun came out, he would sue me again. There is no way for me to survive anymore. Said that I don't think about myself, I have to think about my wife and children. He also said that he has thought of a better way, and he will definitely let Gu Qingyun obey the law." "I can only sue again in order to protect myself

. For the safety of my wife and children, I bought a house in Gyeongju Prefecture with the money Zhuang Di gave me to sue my brother-in-law, and settled my wife and children there, and announced to the public that my wife and children had left me so as not to hurt my family. "

With the family business, I don't want to sue anymore. I try to hide as much as I can, and when I really can't hide, I just pretend. Later, Zhuang Di went to nowhere for a long time, and I gradually I calmed down and started to manage the business. Unexpectedly, half a year later, that is, two months ago, Zhuang Di returned to Hejing County. Since he came back, I have been anxious all day long, but after half a month, I have not seen him come forward. When he came to find fault with me, he gradually felt relieved, thinking that he had also let go." "

Unexpectedly, a month later, he came to me again and asked me to sue Gu Qingyun again. I was perfunctory, but I couldn't evade it. Di said that the girl was found at the Honghe pier, oh no, I will come out to sue on the anniversary of a blistered person. Zhuang Di was persuaded by me, and it took a few days, so there was the scene that Chu Butou saw that day "

"My lord, what Cao Min said is true, I hope you can see clearly."

"Yes or no, the county has its own decision." Then Wei Jinghan slapped the gavel, "Let's hear the verdict."

All the people involved in the case in the courtroom stood neatly and bowed their heads facing Wei Jinghan to listen.

"Three years ago, Zhou Sheng, a person from this county, sued his uncle Gu Qingyun for killing his wife and silencing his mouth. Due to the lack of key evidence, it was pending and has been delayed until now. Now that Zhou Ying is still alive and standing in court, Gu Qingyun's claim of killing his wife and silencing his mouth is self-evident. Broken. The county announced that Gu Qingyun was released without charge." Wei Jinghan pronounced the sentence.

Wei Jinghan's sentence was only halfway through, and there was warm applause outside the courtroom, and the people talked a lot.

"This matter has been dragging on for three years, and it finally has an ending."

"Young Master Gu has suffered in recent years."

"Hey, I wonder if the business that the Gu family has shut down will recover."

...

Amid the applause and the people's applause. During the discussion, the three members of the Gu family hugged each other and wept with joy. Ever since she entered the court, Gu Qingyun had never looked at him directly. Facing the reunion of Gu's family, she couldn't say anything and could only cry secretly.

Before the verdict was pronounced on the case, the hall was already full of noise. Wei Jinghan patted the gavel: "Quiet!"

The guards below shouted: "Mighty!"

The court became quiet again.

Wei Jinghan further announced: "Three years ago, Zhuang Di, a person from Gyeongju Province, planned to kidnap Gu Qingyun's wife Zhou Ying and imprison her freedom. Zhou Ying is also a victim of this case and does not need to bear any responsibility. The perpetrator Zhuang Di has not yet been brought to justice. , and involved in other important cases, the county has petitioned the Ministry of Criminal Justice to arrest. The case of Zhuang Di will be sentenced separately. Since Zhuang Di has not yet been brought to justice, the county will pull out the silver taels from Zhuang Di's seized property and give him compensation. It will be announced again in the day."

"According to various signs, Zhuang Di bought the gangsters of the county government office and framed him. The original author left important evidence to help solve this case. He is a meritorious person. The county announced that he was not guilty of being framed and ordered people to go there immediately. Announcement in Danzhou. The compensation and rewards will be announced at a later date." "

As for Zhou Ying's brother Zhou Sheng, in order to help his sister seek justice, he accepted the perpetrator Zhuang Di's property to falsely accuse Gu Qingyun, disturbed the yamen, and punished him according to the law. The property will be confiscated, and the penalty will be three years. Zhou Sheng, do you have any objection?"

"The grassroots... have no objection." Zhou Sheng cried.

Zhou Ying felt uncomfortable listening to it. She credulously believed in Zhuang Di, which not only harmed herself and her husband's family, but now also harmed her brother.

"Brother, I'm sorry for you." Zhou Ying cried.

"It's my brother who is greedy for money. I can't blame others, let alone you." Zhou Sheng swallowed hard, "It's just your sister-in-law and two children who suffer." "I will help my sister-in-law take care of my two nephews." Zhou

Yingca Wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes.

Seeing this, Wei Jinghan finally said: "Now that the truth of the matter has become clear, Gu Qingyun has cleared up his grievances, and Zhou Ying has returned after losing. This is double happiness. Gu Qingyun, Zhou Ying, you two, go home and live a good life! The case of exterminating his wife is now closed."

He signaled the guards to come forward and take Zhou Sheng away.

This should be the only happy event today. Facing the magistrate's sentence, Zhou Ying wept with joy, knelt down and kowtowed: "Thank you, my lord." The people outside the

courtroom were also discussing, some were happy for Zhou Ying, some It's not worth it for the family. You can say anything.

However, everyone did not hear Gu Qingyun's voice for a long time, and the discussion gradually stopped, and everyone looked at Gu Qingyun.

Upon seeing this, Wei Jinghan asked, "Gu Qingyun, do you have any objections?"
