121. We will not sue(2/2)
If what Jiang Zhen said was the truth, then...
Zhou Maohe only heard the Jiang family's one-sided remarks, and then he had preconceived ideas about Jiang Zhen, and now...
"Jiang Zhen, don't even think of deceiving me!" Zhou Maohe took a photo of the gavel again.
"I dare not, I'm telling the truth, please check it out." Jiang Zhen said.
"Sir, if Jiang Zhen had not saved my life when he went to the capital, he would have been poor now... Alas, I shouldn't have given him a lot of money because of gratitude, which made him look at him and sued him for court." Zheng Yi sighed and said, "And this money is not for him alone. At that time, Brother Zhao Jin was pregnant and was still protecting me..."
"Yes, when Jiang Zhen had no money in the past, why didn't they tell Jiang Zhen to tell him?"
"When Jiang Zhen left the Jiang family, the Jiang family was rich. If Jiang Chengcai hadn't been cheated of so much money, how could they have fallen to this point now?"
"The Jiang family is actually not too poor now. They still have a lot of land! Jiang Chengxiang can still carry forty taels of silver with him."
...
Everyone was talking, and at this time, the people of Hecheng County were already in a position to Jiang Zhen.
Zhou Maohe only felt that he was a little unsteady in his hand.
Everything before was indeed a coincidence.
He had never noticed the Zheng family at all. After all, the Zheng family had no other prospects except Master Zheng. This time he came to Jiangnan, what he wanted to investigate was actually someone else. It was the letter that made him angry and finally came here.
Zhou Maohe was still thinking deeply, but Jiang Chengxiang was becoming more and more anxious.
It’s an imperial edict and this is all the matter... If this continues, Jiang Zhen will escape unstoppably!
Why is this imperial envoy so pedantic? He tried the case at the moment, why did he insist on letting people listen and allow people outside to discuss?
Jiang Chengxiang was in a hurry, and someone came outside again.
Seeing those people, Zheng Yi and Zhao Jin Ge, I felt relieved.
There were two sides who came. One of them was the man and woman who rescued Jiang Zhen from the nest of the water bandits. As soon as they arrived, they knelt down and cried and pleaded for Jiang Zhen.
Zhou Mao and someone went outside to take a look and soon learned what was going on.
When Jiang Zhen escorted Zheng Yi back to Beijing, he defeated a group of bandits and saved many people from the bandits. The people who started the escort agency were all rescued from the water bandits.
Zhou Mao and this man have always sympathized with the weak, and they felt a little uncomfortable. At this time, the other party of the people who came came, led by a white-haired old man, and next to him was the second uncle of the Jiang family.
The second uncle of the Jiang family used to scold Jiang Zhen, which was very confident, but when he came to the yamen, he shrank his neck like a quail, looking very scared.
He is very scared now.
Before, Zhao Liu and Zhao Fugui brought Hexi Village to the county town, relying on knowing him to move him with reason, but he was different.
These elders of the Jiang family were all tied up by Zheng Yi.
Zheng Yi made up his mind to save Jiang Zhen, so he thought of a way to cure him with his own way.
Since the Jiang family can sue Jiang Zhen, why can't he find someone to sue Jiang family? In the Jiang family, there are people with higher seniority than the Jiang butcher.
After coercion and temptation to several elders of the Jiang family, all of the elders of the Jiang family became obedient.
They were afraid of the imperial envoy, but they were also afraid of the Zheng family and Jiang Zhen.
Their family fell into Zheng Yi's hands now... They were all coming to sue the Jiang family no matter what.
Daqi treated the old man very well. An elderly person over seventy years old would not kneel when they saw the official. Zhou Maohe has always respected the old man. Even though he knew that these people should have come to save Jiang Zhen, he still asked the yamen runners to invite them respectfully in.
"Everyone, you also pleaded for Jiang Zhen? He ignored his parents and was always wrong..." Zhou Maohe said.
"Sir, we are not here to plead for Jiang Zhen, we are here to sue him." The old man in charge said.
This old man is the oldest elder in the Jiang family.
He was not like the second uncle of the Jiang family, who always jumped around. In fact, he never liked to take care of things. Every day he waited for his sons to bring him food. After he finished eating, he sat at the door of his house, either drowsy or told stories to the juniors at home.
But at this moment, everyone in his family was taken care of by Zheng Yi, so he had no choice but to come.
Zhou Maohe was shocked and then said, "You want to tell Jiang Zhen too?"
"No, sir, what I want to sue is Jiang Chengcai. He is lazy and forced his parents to sell land and land for him to spend money. After being cheated, even his own sister was sold by him. It was simply unfilial." The old man said: "After that, he forced his mother to go to the fields to work and support him, which was worse than a beast."
"Sir, I also want to report to Jiang Chengxiang. He cheated his parents of money and was not doing his job all day long. He asked his father to take care of all the affairs at home. He drank and ate meat in the county town, but left his father to starve at home, which was also very unfilial." The old man said again.
"What?!" Zhou Maohe was shocked. He never expected that there would be something like this, and someone would sue the other two sons of the Jiang family.
"You talk nonsense, my Chengcai Chengxiang is the most filial!" Old Mrs. Jiang immediately said, "Sir, you can't listen to his nonsense!"
"Sir, what I tell is the truth. Just look at their hands and you will know it." The old man said again.
Old Mrs. Jiang's hands were covered with calluses and many frozen wounds.
Zhou Maohe had seen these two hands before and felt more sympathetic to them, but now he looked at their hands and then looked at Jiang Chengcai and Jiang Chengxiang's hands...
Jiang Chengcai and Jiang Chengxiang had no calluses on their hands! Especially Jiang Chengxiang, his hands were well maintained, and those hands did not belong to a countryman at all, but instead belonged to scholars.
But Jiang Zhen...
Jiang Zhen stretched out his hand. There were no frozen wounds on the hands, but they were covered with calluses, black and thick, and there were many scars on it.
Zhou Mao and Zhou didn't believe Jiang Zhen's words before, but were stunned now.
"Sir, Jiang Chengxiang was cheated of money because his brothers were cheated of money and forced his parents to separate the two brothers. Many people in Hexi Village know about this, so please let the adults check it out." The old man said again: "At that time, Jiang Chengxiang's wife brought her family to the door to force her parents-in-law to...the name of the separation..."
The old man looked at the second uncle of the Jiang family, and the second uncle immediately took out a document.
"Sir, this is what we asked them to divide, it's different! Sir!" said Old Mrs. Jiang.
The old man glanced at Old Mrs. Jiang, pointed at her, and said slowly: "Sir, I want to sue her, Mrs. Jiang Wang. This is not virtuous for his wife and unkind for his mother. It is time to part with her."
Old Mrs. Jiang was stunned and couldn't react.
She was also accused?!
Zhou Maohe now knew that he was probably being plotted against.
Although Jiang Zhen is not a good person, Jiang Chengcai and Jiang Chengxiang are not a good person either!
"Sir, Jiang Zhen has already married into the Zhao family, we have no control. Jiang Chengcai and Jiang Chengxiang are not filial to their parents. You must punish them." The old man said again.
"You're talking nonsense!" Old Mrs. Jiang was so angry that she was about to tear up the old man when she went up.
No matter how filial the law is, it has always been ignored in the countryside and places. Now I don’t think it’s wrong to hit this old man at all.
"You immortal..." Old Mrs. Jiang hated this old man very much. After pulling it, she actually pulled the old man to the ground.
"It's outrageous!" Zhou Maohe was so angry that he was so angry that he came.
This man actually attacked an old man in his seventies with gray hair in front of him!
Jiang Chengxiang also called out "Oops".
He only thought that the imperial envoy had believed them, and Jiang Zhen did not adopt his parents, so he would definitely sue Jiang Zhen. He never thought that this matter would be even involved in him.
If this imperial envoy hadn't done anything sticky and wasn't straightforward, how could this be?!
Jiang Chengxiang hurriedly went to pull his mother, and it was not until this time that Mrs. Jiang realized that the imperial envoy's face was particularly bad.
This...this...
Old Mrs. Jiang suddenly became anxious: "Cheng Xiang."
"Mom..." Jiang Chengxiang's hands trembled a little.
"We won't sue you, we won't sue you, Jiang Zhen, let's go!" Old Mrs. Jiang heard Jiang Chengxiang explain a lot of things related to unfilial crimes these days, and she was scared now.
She can't let something happen to Jiang Chengcai and Jiang Chengxiang!
When Zhou Maohe heard her words, his face immediately turned dark.
This...this...
