Seeing Zhan Feiyu, Old Man Zhan, and Boss Zhan who came forward, they looked happy. Although they were elders, they panicked when something happened. They wanted to speak, but their tongues seemed to be tied up. They wanted to take action, and they were even more afraid of these vicious people.
Strong men.
After Zhan Feiyu came forward, even though he was still a child, the father and son inexplicably became convinced.
Old Mrs. Zhan drooped her eyelids, a little surprised, but not very grateful. If her family hadn't provided money to send her to a private school, would she have said this?
Only Zhan Lao Er still had a sullen face, and the hatred in his eyes was almost substantial. This bitch was stepping on her to make a name for herself!
"I still have to study." An old lady who was reluctant to part with money said with emotion. Next September, she will definitely send the younger generation of the family to a private school. She does not seek to bring glory to the family, but at least she can understand things through reading and can support her family in the future.
"What a sharp mouth!" Butler Zeng had a dark face. He was a little worried about Zhan Feiyu, but he didn't pay much attention to it. To put it bluntly, she was just a yellow-haired girl. Even though she was praised by County Magistrate Chen, she was still white. If
After passing the county examination, we will tell you something else.
But after listening to Zhan Feiyu's words, Butler Zeng knew that the rumors were true and that this little girl was not a good person! If evidence is not produced today, Zhan Lao Er will definitely not be taken away.
Zhan Feiyu smiled and rolled his big eyes, "Thank you for the compliment from Butler Zeng. I think there were a lot of people passing by the haunted house that day. If the Zeng family just shouted about killing and convicting people just because of this specious excuse, then there would be no need for the government to investigate the case in the future.
For investigation and evidence collection, the Daqing Code is no longer needed.”
Butler Zeng was used to bullying others, but he himself would scold and beat them up. How could he ever see Zhan Feiyu accused of contempt for the government and ignoring the law with just a few words like this? This is a serious crime of beheading!
Butler Zeng couldn't sit still and interrupted Zhan Feiyu in a panic, "Don't talk nonsense, of course I have evidence!"
"If it was my second uncle who did it, and there is no need for the Zeng family to speak up, I will sever the relationship and send my second uncle to the Yamen!" Zhan Feiyu straightened his chest, put his hands behind his back and said seriously: "If the Zeng family framed the accusation..."
The words were not finished, but the warning was self-evident. Although Zhan Feiyu was just a young boy at this moment, his serious face and sharp eyes made people feel awe.
"Xiaoyu is right." The old clan leader also stood up and said to Guan Zeng: "If Mr. Zhan is the murderer, I will send him to the government to punish him. But if it is a false accusation, our Zhan clan will do our best to protect the whole clan."
I will try my best to seek justice from the Zeng family!"
Although the Zeng family of Baofeng Buzhuang is wealthy, a clan cannot be underestimated.
The villagers and Zhan clan members present all looked solemn. Although they were humble, they had their clans behind them to rely on, and they were not rootless floats to be bullied.
"Second Brother Zhan is using people's money to eliminate disasters for others!" Butler Zeng didn't dare to show off. He brought more than 20 strong men, but there were hundreds of people in Jinlin Village. He was really afraid of angering these mud-legged people.
Son, I have no life to return to Zeng’s house.
"The one who had a grudge against my young master was Zhu Kun, the eldest son of Landlord Zhu. Back then, they had a fight over a top brothel. In the end, my young master won. Landlord Zhu personally escorted Zhu Kun to apologize to my young master. Zhu Kun lost face and therefore held a grudge.
mind."
Following Steward Zeng's narration, everyone understood that Zhu Kun was a dandy who wanted to take revenge but did not dare to do it himself, so he spent money to find Zhan Lao Er, and Zhan Lao Er
Found the lame beggar and caused a horse scare on South Street.
"This is the motive!" Butler Zeng said this to Zhan Feiyu, and took out a piece of paper from his sleeve, "I copied this from Jubao Bank, where Zhan Laoer deposited one hundred and fifty
Two silver coins, huh, as a driver of bullock carts, how can he save so much silver?"
"One hundred and fifty taels?" The people present widened their eyes in shock. This is not a small amount. The Zhan family has not been separated yet. This more than one hundred taels is the private house of Zhan's second son!
Muramasa, the old patriarch's face darkened, and an ominous premonition came to his mind.
What was even more shocked was the Zhan family. Old Man Zhan and Boss Zhan stared blankly at Butler Zeng, even suspecting that this was false evidence he had produced.
Old Mrs. Zhan was frightened. She knew that the second son had hidden money secretly, which she allowed, but Old Mrs. Zhan did not expect that there would be so much money. This was one hundred and fifty taels, which was more than the savings of the entire Zhan family.
need more.
"Master, you are rich!" Little Yao grabbed Zhan Laoer's arm excitedly, and couldn't help laughing when he thought that so much money belonged to him.
Zhan Feiyu looked mockingly at the ugly-looking Zhan Lao Er. The Zhan family is so poor, but the second uncle still has the ability to save so much private property. He deserves the title! It's a pity that his old foundation was exposed by Butler Zeng.
.
"Second brother, did you really accept the money..." Old Man Zhan stammered, he was so panicked that he didn't know what to do. This involved Mrs. Zeng and the unborn young master. How could the Zeng family just let it go?
Zhan Laoer wanted to say that the money was saved in his private house after buying goods. Although he hid so much money in different families and his reputation was a bit ugly, at least he would not be accused of murdering Mrs. Zeng.
Zhan Laoer opened his mouth, but he didn't dare to speak. If Butler Zeng still had a back-up plan, once his lie was exposed, he wouldn't be able to clean it up even if he jumped into the Yellow River. After all, the one hundred taels in it came from Zhu Kun.
"Steward Zeng, no matter how my second uncle got his money, you still can't use this to accuse my second uncle of murdering Mrs. Zeng." Zhan Feiyu argued hard with a serious face and refused to back down.
Maintain "Zhan Lao Er."
How can this specious evidence crucify people? Now that we have taken action, we must kill them all without leaving any room for recovery!
"Zhan Feiyu, shut up!" Zhan Lao Er suddenly shouted, his scarlet and hateful eyes fixed on Zhan Feiyu, this bitch is so cruel!
The sudden angry shouts startled everyone present, and when they saw Zhan Laoer's unabashed hatred, everyone was dumbfounded.
"Is Mr. Zhan crazy? He even scolded Xiaoyu?"
"I don't know why, but I asked the eldest brother to pay five hundred taels of silver before. She was his eldest brother's niece. The second brother Zhan has a dark heart."
The village official was at the Huichun Hall that day. After he came back, he told the old patriarch and several respected elders in the village about the five hundred taels. Although not many people in the village knew about it, the news still leaked out.
The village chief and the old patriarch also looked ugly. They and the villagers, including Xiaoyu, came to support Zhan Laoer. He was ungrateful and even scolded Xiaoyu, like a beast.
Butler Zeng had long believed that Zhan Laoer was the murderer, so naturally he did not take him seriously. He was also wary of the village leader, the old patriarch and Zhan Feiyu, "Of course, not only that, I also found out that Zhan Laoer had secretly had an affair with Zhu
We have met Kun several times, and if I remember correctly, your Zhan family and Zhu family have had enemies."
Zhu Kun always takes his servant with him when he goes out. If the Zeng family really wants to investigate, they will naturally find out.
"Second brother, why did you go to see Zhu Kun?" Muramasa asked coldly.
Zhu Landlord's home is in Yujia Village. Although it is not far from Jinlin Village, the two villages are not in the same direction. Moreover, Zhan Lao'er is an oxcart driver and Zhu Kun is the eldest son of the Zhu family. It is impossible for the two to have a relationship.
Any personal relationship.
The villagers also murmured and looked at Zhan Laoer, whose face was getting more and more ugly, with suspicion. No wonder Butler Zeng brought someone to the door. Zhan Laoer had really taken dirty money and done bad things!
Little Yao was no longer excited that his second wife had private money. He hunched over and shrank behind Mrs. Zhan in fear. Mrs. Zeng almost killed two people. Little Yao's legs were trembling.
