The full-level skillful wear becomes the control group

Chapter 238 My Master Is a Tongzhi! (two more)
Zhou Fu cried out subconsciously, "Your Excellency, you are wronged! How dare we steal?"

Although he desperately cried out for injustice, the yamen servants did not listen to him at all, and stepped forward to restrain them. Several villagers including Zhang Bin also helped.They all had a lot of strength, and two of them were enough to suppress Zhou Fu and others.

The team leader in a soap-blue robe yelled sharply: "There are all witnesses and evidence, and you dare to quibble!"

"These glutinous rice bags still have the seal of Wei Guoxiang Lord!"

"You dare to quibble even when the evidence of the crime is solid, it shows that you don't have the slightest repentance."

Zhang Bin said: "My lord, they have already moved several times. After we saw it, we hurriedly informed you that there are still a lot of glutinous rice piled up in the grain store."

Zhou Fu finally realized that these villagers had never been bribed by them from the very beginning.They dug holes for them on purpose!
No wonder none of them showed up, it turned out to be waiting for them here.

These cunning and vicious villagers!He has nothing to do with them!

All the clerks in the grain store looked like mourners, their hands and feet were cold.It's over, their lives are all ruined.

It is not that they have never seen the fate of those criminals who committed the crime of theft. No matter how much the stolen property was worth, they were given seventy blows with the rod.If the value of the stolen property is more than five taels, the sentence will be one year in prison.If the amount of stolen money reaches fifty taels, not only will he be imprisoned for three years, but he will even be exiled for three thousand miles.

At this moment, deep regret and hatred for Zhou Tong emerged in their hearts.

If it hadn't been for Zhou Tong and the others who kept saying that the arrangement had been made, there would be no accidents, and the money was touching people's hearts, so they wouldn't have taken the risk to do such a thing.

They all burst into tears and said, "Sir, we didn't know these were stolen goods. We thought they were their own things, and they said they would sell them to us."

"Yes, if we knew these were stolen goods, we wouldn't touch anything. We are all ordinary people who keep our own rules, and we don't know how to break the law."

As the saying goes, a dead Taoist friend never dies a poor Taoist. Under fear, the guys in the grain store immediately blamed Brother Zhou Tong for everything.

Zhou Tong and Zhou Fu had just recovered from the pain of being betrayed when they realized that they had suffered a new betrayal.

These damned untouchables!
How dare you throw all the crimes on them.

Zhou Tong also shouted for grievances, "My lord, I am wronged. Obviously, this grain store told us that this is their warehouse, and they paid us to help carry it."

In order to reduce their own crimes, people on both sides tried their best to throw the biggest pot on each other, and they quarreled.

The head of the squad got a headache from the quarrel, and with an order, pushed them all back.

They had to find other yamen servants to seal up the grain store in the den of thieves.Good guy, even the glutinous rice donated by Mr. Wei Guoxiang to build roads dares to make a decision. Do you think your head is too stable?
This matter involved Su Yueling, the Lord of Weiguo Township, and two village chiefs were involved. The amount of stolen money was not small, and the county government moved very quickly.

All the people were arrested, including Zhou Lie's family.

After daybreak, Yaozhi County opened the court to try the case in person.

The glutinous rice from a grain shop was also brought in as stolen goods, exhausting the escorts.

Outside the county government, the common people who heard the news pointed at them.

"Did you see that, this group of people went to steal glutinous rice for road construction in the middle of the night, and they were caught right away."

"Stealing so much glutinous rice, you are too brave. I recognized them. They are the guys from Yifang Grain Store. I didn't expect Yifang Grain Store to be a den of thieves. I will never go to their house to buy rice in the future." gone."

"In the future? There must be no future. I think this grain store will not be able to protect itself, and it will definitely not be able to continue."

"Look at that woman and the two beside her, they are still wearing colorful silk dresses, and their family background is so good, yet they come to be thieves, shameless."

These people couldn't control their volume at all, and the contemptuous words kept getting into the ears of Zhou Lie's family, which made her collapse.As the companion who is valued by Mrs. Tongzhi, she has always had a sense of superiority when facing these people, but now she is insulted by them.

She raised her head and glared fiercely at Zhang Bin and the others, "My lord, these treacherous people from Lushan Village deliberately framed me!"

"They made us move the glutinous rice."

She shouldn't have believed them.

Zhang Bin and others showed a shocked expression, "We are doing well, what are you doing with the glutinous rice? Is it good for us?"

"Besides, we are from Lushan Village. The Lord of Weiguo Township has treated us with great kindness. We will never do anything wrong to her. Road construction is a great good deed with immeasurable merit. Whoever hinders the road construction project will be nailed to the On the pillar of shame."

Another villager said, "If we want to steal glutinous rice, why bother to report to the Yamen? You are talking nonsense just to get rid of the crime."

"That's right, you just hated us for reporting the crime, which caused you to be arrested, so you deliberately discredited us."

"My lord, you have to make the decision for us. We, ordinary people, cannot bear this crime. How can we go back to meet our neighbors and live in Lushan Village?"

Zhang Bin and others were filled with righteous indignation.

Zhou Lie's family was overwhelmed by their crying and singing. She didn't expect these villagers to be so shameless.While taking her money, he sent her to court.

Do they still have a conscience?

People outside the county government sympathized with Zhang Bin and others.

"These thieves are too bad. At this point, they still refuse to plead guilty, and they still want to frame others. It's really shameless."

"I know Zhang Bin, and he couldn't be more honest. I heard that after he saw them stealing glutinous rice last night, he hurriedly called other villagers to report to the Yamen. Otherwise, these thieves might get their way."

"The thieves still want to pour dirty water on them, bah! Is it okay to treat everyone as fools? If Zhang Bin and the others are the instigators, why should they report the crime?"

Yao Zhixian was very annoyed, "There are all the witnesses and material evidence, you don't have to deny it, and don't try to frame innocent people in front of me. This is a court, and it's not a place where you can be presumptuous."

"If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will first punish you for disturbing the court and give you twenty boards!"

Zhou Tong and the others were about to vomit blood. His mother told the truth, so no one believed it.

The master has already counted the stolen goods and sent them back.

The master said: "My lord, the total value of the stolen goods is about two hundred and twenty taels."

This amount is not small.

Yao Zhixian said with a cold face, "According to Da Xia's law, Zhou Lie's family, Zhou Tong, Zhou Fu... you have committed the crime of theft."

He read the names of these people one by one, "Everyone was beaten with seventy sticks, served for three years, and was exiled for three thousand miles."

When Zhou Lie's family heard the punishment, it was as if they had been struck from the head by lightning, and their hands and feet were numb.With her body, she might not be able to survive even seventy years old. Even if she survived by luck, she might die on the way to exile.

No, she does not accept this result!

She was obviously doing things for his wife, and if one were to say the culprit, it should be his wife.

The yamen servant was about to press them down, and when they started to beat them with sticks, Zhou Lie's family woke up like a dream and struggled desperately."You can't hit me!" she yelled loudly.

"Let go of me, my master is an acquaintance!"
