Chapter 899 Young Master of the Li Family

Zhang Bantou said: "I have been brought to the court to kneel down. My brothers are watching. Don't worry, sir. Nothing will happen."

Hearing this, the ancient magistrate nodded. While letting his servants get dressed, he asked excitedly, "Is Mrs. Gu still alive? But she must not die."

Mrs. Gu was old and paralyzed by a stroke. The ancient prefect was always afraid that she would not be able to survive the execution.

Zhang Ban head laughed: "The adult is assured, the wife is spiritual, and it can't die in a short time."

They originally thought that Mrs. Gu had suffered such a big blow and would go to see King Yama at any time, but she was amazing. She was able to eat, drink, sleep, and maintain her body.

"She was reluctant to die. She always wanted to eat and drink, and she would make a fuss if she was a little late." The government officials were so tortured by her that they wished she would be dead as soon as they woke up.

The ancient magistrate was relieved after hearing this and said: "The wicked will live longer."

Not long after, the ancient prefect put on his official uniform and had a good meal before following Zhang Bantou to the court. In fact, I was so hungry last time that I almost starved to death in the court. This time I had to eat before going to court.

When the ancient magistrate arrived, people from three floors inside and three outside had already surrounded the yamen gate. They were all asking towards the court: "Master, when will the court be raised? Hurry up, we are still in a hurry." Working!"

The ancient prefects face is dark. If you have any work to do, just do it. Whats the fuss about? This is a court, not a library. Can't you be a little afraid of the government office?

"Sir, please ascend to the throne." Tang Tongpan said and bowed to the ancient prefect.

Originally, it should be his business to be promoted to court, but since the ancient magistrate personally tried the case of Mrs. Gu, he has been very good to him in the past two days. From time to time, he will say, Mr. Tang, thank you for your hard work, I have a new one in my family. Lao Shan Ginseng, Ill bring it to replenish your health some other time. Its too hard for you to always go to court to hear cases.

Tang Tongfang therefore wanted to have the ancient prefect try the case on his behalf, and he also knew how hard it was to try the case.

The ancient prefect also wanted merit. After all, only with merit could he be transferred to Jiangnan to serve.

Da Chu has a system of continuous sitting. If one member of the clan breaks the law and the whole clan sits together, everyone is afraid. For the sake of the whole clan, they can only let Yuan Jiaman die unjustly.

The ancient prefect knew the shortcomings of the continuous sitting system, and did not question Yuan Jiagui after hearing the words, "Then why did you come to sue Gu Pan again now? Who instructed you?"

Otherwise, how could he have come from Linhe Prefecture?

Yuan Jiagui shook his head and did not admit it. Instead, he said with red eyes: "I am old and I am afraid that one day I will be scolded by my cousin when I go underground, so I came to sue the official..."

Then, Yuan Jiagui talked about what happened back then.

"At that time, everyone thought that cousin Man fell into the Gaoshui River outside the county and drowned after being drunk. But they didn't know that when cousin Man was fighting with the young master of the Li family, he was pushed to the back of the house by the young master of the Li family. Drowned in the pond..."

Yuan Jiagui said this, recalling what happened that year, he couldn't help crying anymore: "I saw it, I really saw it... Cousin Man wanted to climb to the shore, but Gu Pan used a bamboo pole to push him into the water. After a few times, Cousin Man sank into the pond. The two evil men collaborated to kill Cousin Man!"

"I was very scared at the time and didn't know what to do. When I saw this, I ran back to the house. I fell ill that night. I had a high fever and was in a coma for a day and a night. When I woke up, I heard that my cousin Man Man had been drinking alcohol. Drunk, he fell into the high-water river and drowned."

Cousin Keman died in the pond behind the house. He was killed by Gu Pan and the young master of the Li family!

Im sorry to cousin Man. Its because Im afraid of getting into trouble and dont dare to speak out about it... Im sorry to cousin Man!

The Yuan family was full of tears, talking incoherently about what happened back then... After so many years, he thought he had forgotten it, and as long as he didn't think about it, he could live without a burden.

When the Qin boy came to beg him, he was not willing to sue Gu Pan.

But, he is cousin Man's brother. They share the same grandfather. They clearly know that he died tragically, how can you not avenge him? !

Seeing Yuan Jiagui crying quite miserably, the ancient prefect couldn't bear it. After he cried for a while and finished crying the guilt in his heart, he asked: "The young master of the Li family you mentioned is called Li Zhi?"

Yuan Jiagui nodded: "Well, it's Li Zhi. Not many people dare to call him by his name. Everyone calls him Master Li, or Shen Tong Li."
