Chapter 332: The Chen family will not be spared
"Gong Hai hurts people?" Jiang An turned to look at Tao and Guo with a puzzled face. If he remembered correctly, Gong Hai was the person with the best temper in the Gong family.
Even Jiang Xiaoqiu and Xin Cun were stunned for a moment. They had previously suspected that Gong Mei came to the door because they knew Jiang An had returned safely, so they came to fight Qiu Feng. They never expected that it was because of Gong Hai.
The Jiang family had good relations with the Gong family before, and the Jiang family also knew what was going on with the Gong family. Gong Hai was the transparent person of the Gong family. Just like his father who couldn't do anything, he had no sense of existence and only knew how to work. , but occasionally he would send some small fish and shrimps to their family. The one person Jiang Xiaoqiu hated the most in the Gong family was Gong Hai.
"What's going on?" Tao Shi said worriedly.
Jiang Xiaoqiu didn’t make any sound this time.
Gong Mei sobbed and rolled up her sleeves, revealing the hideous wound. Qiqi Ai Ai cried: "There are no good people in the Chen family. They said I couldn't have children and beat me every day. I ran away home. A Hai was very angry when he found out. At this time, Chen Dayong came to pick me up in Hankou Village. Instead of going to my house, he ran to the village chief's house.
He said a lot of bad things about me, and Ah Hai couldn't bear it anymore, so he rushed over with a woodcutter."
"This" Tao was startled, her face turned pale, and she subconsciously looked at Jiang Ning.
Seeing her like that, Jiang Ning knew that Mrs. Tao was soft-hearted. She sighed inexplicably and said with Grandma Yu: "Send someone to report to the government office and bring the Gong family and Chen family to the government office. If you have any grievances, tell them in public." Open it and leave it to the prefect."
Gong Mei was so frightened that she could not kneel down.
Jiang An asked: "Little sister, do you have to pay with your life in this situation?"
Prince Rui was speechless at his stupid son and hit him **** the head, "What are you worrying about? You hurt someone but you didn't kill someone! At most, you can go to jail for a few years and then pay some money. You are the one who caused the trouble." Bear in mind, the emperor commits the same crime as the common people, no one is exempted."
Jiang Ning agrees very much.
Jiang An asked cautiously: "Godfather, how long will you be in jail? I watched that child Gong Hai grow up. He is a kind and good boy. Our village is an outsider, and many people in the village don't want to talk to us. But Ah Hai would say hello every time he saw me, and sometimes he would secretly send some small fish and shrimps to our house.”
Mr. Rui heard what he meant and was extremely helpless, "Okay! Since you said so, I will go see Ji Wuya in person and try to give him a lighter sentence!"
However, we still have to wait for Ji Wuya's review to know the specific situation. If the main fault lies with Gong Hai, even if you plead for mercy, it will be useless. "
Jiang An was overjoyed and quickly thanked him.
Mr. Rui has already spoken, so Jiang Ning can only accompany him.
So a group of people left the banquet, got into the carriage and entered the city.
At night, an official would have to go to Hankou Village to coordinate the investigation, and wait until daybreak for the real ceremony.
Ji Wuya arranged a courtyard for everyone to stay in, taking care of everything.
Gong Mei had never seen the magistrate be so kind. The regret in her heart was like a wasteland, boundless.
At midnight the next day, the government office went to the court to hear the case. After hearing the news, many people came to join in the fun.
In the court hall.
The Chen family carried Chen Dayong inside, who had been wrapped into a rice dumpling. Each of them looked gloomy and wished they could tear the Gong family alive.
In addition to Gong Hai's family of four, the village chief's family also came. After all, the incident happened in their home, and they had to come to testify. Everyone knelt on the ground and started to quarrel as soon as they saluted.
Ji Wuya had been dealing with it all night yesterday and his head hurt. When he heard the two sides starting again, he immediately slapped the gavel loudly and said, "Quiet! If they make a fuss, arrest them all and beat them up!"
Everyone was dissatisfied, but in the end they endured it.
Ji Wuya breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Gong Hai, his brows were cold and majestic, "Gong Hai, tell me! Why did you chop Chen Dayong? Do you know that you almost died?"
"The common people know." Gong Hai's eyes were dull and his expression was numb, as if he had already resigned himself to his fate.
Gong's mother cried loudly, "Sir, that's not what happened. It was Chen Dayong and the Chen family who beat my daughter black and blue. Ah Hai did it to vent his anger on his sister. He was just too angry and did not want to kill anyone."
"You fart! Your daughter can't give birth to a child and is occupying the latrine without shit. It's only natural for me to teach my useless daughter-in-law a lesson!" Mother Chen retorted angrily.
Not to be outdone, Mother Gong said, "My daughter has given birth to a son a long time ago. It was Chen Dayong who couldn't give birth. Don't let my daughter take the blame."
“Bitch, I told you to talk nonsense!” Mother Chen was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, and she wanted to fight Mother Gong again with all her teeth and claws.
Ji Wuya slapped the gavel heavily and shouted angrily, "Didn't you hear what I said? Come here! Give me three big slaps each before continuing the trial!"
Gong’s mother and Chen’s mother were so frightened that they quickly begged for mercy.
Three big boards won’t kill them, and they won’t have to suffer any physical pain. They will just be severely embarrassed.
This is good, the two women are indeed honest.
Ji Wuya felt better and turned his attention to Gong Mei, "Why did the Chen family beat you?"
Gong Mei looked pitiful as she knelt there, but she didn't miss a single word, "Sir, the Chen family blamed the civilian women for not being able to get pregnant. The civilian women also secretly visited the doctor. The doctor said that there was nothing wrong with the civilian woman's health. The woman asked Chen Dayong to go and see the doctor. As a result, Chen Dayong became so angry that he beat a woman for the first time.
The woman's face was swollen from his beating, and she couldn't get off the bed. He also called the woman a widower, which made him miserable. It was clear that when the woman had just lost her husband, he couldn't wait to find someone to come to the woman's natal home to complain. Dear, I also gave you a lot of gifts, which is very sincere.
The mother of a civilian woman couldn't bear to have a civilian woman become a widow at such a young age, and she was afraid that she would miss this opportunity and never find a family with more suitable conditions than the Chen family, so she let the civilian woman remarry regardless.
Later, Chen Dayong was frightened and regretted that he did not want to marry a civilian woman. The reputation of civilian women had disappeared and her life was ruined. When the civilian woman was desperate, Chen Dayong said that he would fulfill the marriage and marry me.
Everything was done according to the wishes of the Chen family, but Chen Dayong turned around and said that it was the women of the common people who had harmed him. How could this be true?
The woman's body had no problem, reminding him to see the doctor, what's the reason why he did it? The civilian woman's brother also knew these things, so he hurt him because he couldn't bear it anymore. "
"Sir!" Mrs. Chen's voice was plaintive and tactful, shocking the world and weeping. Ji Wuya was so frightened that he almost dropped the gavel in his hand.
Jiang Ning and others who were listening to the trial behind the screen also felt uncomfortable and frowned.
Mother Chen glared at Gong Mei resentfully, but she didn't dare to continue her mischief, "Sir, it's obvious that Gong Mei is restless and hooking up with men, so my son will fix her. It's not what she said!"
"Sir! When my daughter came to their house, she was as tired as a donkey every day. She did all kinds of work and didn't even go out to the Chen family yard. Where could she go to hook up with others? They were guilty of treason and framed my daughter!" Mother Gong was filled with indignation and anger. His chest heaved violently.
