Back to the end of Ming Dynasty to be a warlord

Chapter 68
"Who are you waiting for, why are you telling me, tell me one by one!"

Yang Wencong also breathed a sigh of relief, Yang Chao alone and two pieces of evidence cannot bring down a hundred Jinyiwei households.

At this time, only one of them kowtowed repeatedly: "The villain Zhang Tianshou is from Nanjing. He sued Xu Zhongxiao, a hundred households of Jinyiwei, for his profit and death!"

Another person said: "Sun Yong, a villain from Nanjing, sued Xu Zhongxiao, a hundred households of Jinyiwei, for robbing women and forcing them into prostitution!"

The third person said: "Little man with martial arts skills, a person from Nanjing, sue Xu Zhongxiao, a hundred households of Jinyiwei, for bullying men and women, and murdering my father!"

Several people held up the papers of pleadings, crying out for their grievances.

Yang Wencong collected the papers one by one, looked at them pretendingly, and asked.

"You, the sufferer, sued one person. Why didn't you sue in the past, but now?"

Zhang Tianshou kowtowed and said: "Returning to the old man, Xu Baihu oppressed the village and did all kinds of evil. I and other ordinary people dare not ask for it. Today I saw that the old man Qingtian is the master of the people, so I have the courage to sue Xu Zhongxiao!"

Sun Yong also said: "The villain's paper has already been written, but I am afraid of the protection of the officials, so I dare not ask. Today I saw the elder is wise, so I dare to appeal boldly, and ask the elder Qingtian to make decisions for us!"

Wu Yi said: "The villain is the same."

Yang Wencong nodded: "If you have any grievances, I will decide for you. If you make a false accusation, I will punish you severely!"

Zhang Tianshou said: "The villain will never dare to make a false accusation. If it is a false accusation, he is willing to sit back!"

Sun Yongdao: "The villain is also willing to sit back."

Wu Yi said: "The villain is also."

Reverse sitting means that the prosecution fails, and the crime charged is punished. This is called reverse sitting.

For example, if you sue someone for murder, if you make a false accusation, you will be guilty of murder yourself, which is a very unique law in ancient China.

Yang Wencong nodded and said, "Let's talk about it one by one."

Then came a bitter and bitter indictment conference.

This Zhang Tianshou was originally a well-to-do family who traded silk flowers on Nanmen Street.

Unexpectedly, five years ago, the crime fell into the hands of Xu Zhongxiao, who was accused by Xu Zhongxiao of weaving, and Zhang Tianshou's father and grandfather were arrested to the Zhenfu Department. As a result, both of them died within a few days after they came out.

Xu Zhongxiao also took out an IOU of 3000 taels and directly swallowed up all the Zhang family's property.

Zhang Tianshou was originally an ignorant slut who had a very comfortable life in brothels, but suddenly his family was ruined and his family was ruined.

Therefore, there was a backlog of resentment and hatred, but he couldn't beat the Xu family, so he could only survive.

Sun Yong is a son of a wealthy family, but ten years ago, his family was in decline, because he borrowed money from the Xu family. In the end, not only was all his wealth stolen by Xu Zhongxiao, but his younger sister was first robbed by the Xu family to be a maid. into a brothel.

Sun Yong and Xu Zhongxiao's hatred is as deep as the sea, wishing to eat Xu Zhongxiao's flesh and drink his blood, but the same, he can't fight him at all.

Now Sun Yong can only make a living as a coolie on the Shuiximen Wharf. Now that he is over [-] years old, he has not yet married a wife.

Wu Yijia has been a doctor for generations. His father, Wu Langzhong, saw a doctor for Xu Zhongxiao's father, but he didn't take care of him. Xu Zhongxiao actually arrested Wu Langzhong, forced him to death, and took Xu Zhongxiao's concubine as compensation.

And that concubine is Wu Yi's biological mother, and Wu Yi is the only son of the Wu family. Now Wu Yi has inherited the family business and is still a doctor, but he can only be a wandering doctor.

Wu Yi is actually quite good, but she wanted to save her mother, because she heard that her life was not good, she was a slave in the Xu family, and she was bullied and humiliated.

That's why I'm here to complain.

These three people all had a big grudge against Xu Zhongxiao, but this time they came together to sue, which was arranged by Yang Chao.

The Xu family inherited Jinyiwei, and they are very powerful in the iron workshop area. They have always oppressed the good people and harmed one side, especially Xu Zhongxiao, who is even more cruel and cruel. Under his hands, the Xu family's property has more than doubled, naturally not Most of what he earned was obtained through extortion.

It's just that the Xu family is so powerful that no one can provoke them, and it's not that no one has sued them. It's been many years, and they have never been sued.

Yang Chao knew that in the nearby streets and alleys, there were no less than seven or eight families that were destroyed by the Xu family.

But I only found these three who were willing to sue. I have to say that the Xu family's power is too great.

And these three were also driven to a desperate situation, but even so, Zhang Tianshou had to ask Yang Chao for 300 taels of silver before he would come out to file a complaint. Sun Yong also promised Yang Chao that if he failed to sue, he would be sent to Hangzhou to return 100 taels of silver to settle down. Marry a wife and have children before you dare to stand up.

There is only one martial art who is really willing to come forward and sue.

After listening to the three people's complaints, Yang Wencong slapped the gavel and asked, "Do you have any witnesses or physical evidence?"

The three immediately told that Zhang Tianshou's shop is now under Xu's name.

Sun Yong's younger sister is still picking up customers in the brothel.

Wu Yi's mother was still working as a slave in the Xu family.

This is all evidence and cannot be denied.

After Yang Wencong heard this, he couldn't help being furious and reprimanded loudly: "Wait for my official's verification. You and the sufferers will go home and wait. Xu Zhongxiao will be sent to the prison to wait for his punishment!"

Xu Zhongxiao's face was gloomy. He who often used criminal methods to frame others already knew that he had been put on a list, and he was convicted of all the crimes.

If what he expected was correct, someone must have bribed some insiders, such as a few widows who would not live for a few years.

A few hob meat that are not afraid of scraping the pan with a knife.

Thinking of this, he lay on the ground and couldn't help snorting, looking at Yang Chao who was sitting sideways.

Yang Chao also glared at Xu Zhongxiao, but what was strange was that in Xu Zhongxiao's eyes, he saw not only hatred, but also some approval. Is this old boy crazy?
But Yang Chao didn't care about these anymore, he got up slowly, rubbed his numb legs, and bowed to the hall: "Master Qingtian is wise! The villain will leave."

After speaking, he glared at Xu Zhongxiao again, and decided in his heart that Xu Zhongxiao was doomed.

Of course, Yang Chao didn't intend to put Xu Zhongxiao to death, as long as he could be sentenced to be exiled into the army.

As long as Xu Zhongxiao stays away from Nanjing, he can't threaten himself and his family.

Yang Chao is actually completely passive and defensive.

Speaking of it, it was really helpless and forced to fight back.

Because Yang Chao knew in his heart that Xu Zhongxiao was worried about his family's property and the blacksmith shop had been occupied, but he still had a 1000 tael IOU in his hand, which he would show at any time.

Even if he admits to being cowardly and gritted his teeth to return the money, but the Xu family has already bitten up, and will set up traps time and time again, and will not stop until the Yang family's extortion is broken.

Therefore, only by completely defeating Xu Zhongxiao can the Yang family live in Nanjing safely.

Now through a series of means, Yang Chao feels that this case is settled.

No one can turn it over, unless he withdraws the lawsuit himself, the so-called people do not sue the government and the government does not prosecute, this matter can be suppressed.
