Madam not allowed to remarry

Chapter 451

Early the next morning, the government office received a pleading, who was suing, the notorious Uncle Yuan of the Yuan Mansion who had recently been murdered.
The pleading paper was sent by the century-old Dang Hengyuan in Chang'an City.

What he was suing was that Uncle Yuan used a family vase to suppress others with power, snatched 1000 taels of silver from Hengyuan, but turned around and completely blamed the matter.

The evidence, of course, is the pawn ticket signed by Yuan Qingyi that day.

As for witnesses, besides Hengyuan's buddies, there are also Taihe Dang and Taihe Buhang's young master and wife, as well as the eldest lady's natal father.

Yuan Qingyi now has a solid criminal record and a lot of bad records, and Long Aohan has already dealt with it in private. Regarding Yuan Qingyi's affairs, as long as the evidence is solid and not fabricated, no favoritism is allowed.

The master of the government office knew in his heart that Yuan Qingyi had suffered so many unlucky things recently, and it was General Long who purely wanted to make things difficult for him, so he was naturally very "fair and strict" in handling things.

Immediately, people went to Dali Temple to bring Yuan Qingyi out.

This behavior of using power to control people and bullying the weak was originally shameless for the common people, and Yuan Qingyi is now a big joke in Chang'an City, so the public trial opened in the afternoon, and people who went out to watch the excitement were surrounded by black people. Three circles inside and three circles outside.
For this matter, Old General Yuan was naturally present. Of course, he was a distinguished old man, so he was given a seat. Hao Lancai, as a woman, stood behind him.
As soon as the master of Fu Ya came up, he gave a big gift to General Yuan.

Old General Yuan also stood up and returned his courtesy.

After some formalities in the officialdom, the government lord slapped the gavel, Xu Mi, the plaintiff Hengyuan's shopkeeper, knelt in the hall and began to appeal.

"My lord, the villain is not trying to add insult to injury. The Yuan family is really deceiving people too much. Three months ago, Yuan Qingyi, the uncle of the Yuan family, brought a starry emerald green porcelain vase with a wide mouth, a narrow neck and a big belly, saying that he wanted to pawn it. He also pawned a lot of things in the villain's pawn shop. The villain did not doubt that he was there. He offered 1000 taels, and the villain readily agreed, but when it was time to collect the bottles, the old man on the counter The master saw at a glance that the bottle he brought was fake, and at best it was not worth 30 taels of silver. The villain, the villain is a businessman, and he has to make ends meet, so where can he accept it, so he euphemistically expressed that the bottle is fake and cannot be accepted. "

"However, Uncle Yuan lost his temper and took the old general out to suppress the villain, saying that if the villain didn't accept him, he would burn his pawn shop on fire, and threatened a bunch of people by swearing, the villain was really afraid of him The so-called people don't fight with officials, so they want to retreat to the next best thing, and in the name of a private person, he asked him to lend him 1000 taels of silver, but he refused. He insisted on pawning the bottle, saying that General Yuan didn't know it was fake If he doesn't come to redeem it in the future, the old general will definitely come to redeem it, considering that it is an old thing loved by his late wife."

"He also threatened the villain, saying that the gold, silver and jade articles that were pawned before were all stolen from the old general. If I don't pawn the fake bottle for him, I will tell the old general that I know he stole those things. If the ones that come out are still collected, then the villain has become a seller of stolen goods. The villain was afraid for a while, and thought about it, so he discounted a thousand silver and gave it to him, but who would have thought..."
Xu Mi said that the circles of his eyes were red, and his face was full of resentment: "Who would have thought that Yuan's family would have such a calculation. Blame me, blame me for not being reconciled. If I made up my mind at the beginning, the money would be in vain. I will not be blackmailed. I have to talk about it a few days ago. I couldn’t bear the 1000 taels. I thought maybe the old general really didn’t know that it was a fake. If he was willing to redeem the 1000 taels, I didn’t want any interest, so Taking a chance, let the assistant go to the Yuan Mansion for a while, who would have thought that he would be coaxed out by the old general Yuan. Well, it’s accepted as a genuine product, what’s the matter with returning a fake one now, the villain has to go back for real, the villain is really, really..."

"Is there really such a thing?"

Obviously, the government office did not expect that Mrs. Long's paragraph that was not written on the pleadings, but shopkeeper Xu suddenly added such a paragraph now.

He didn't dare to offend the Dragon Mansion, he was at a loss for a moment.

In the crowd, a voice came coldly: "I said it, Master Mei, what he said is true."

No one noticed when a pregnant woman with a big belly came.

Perhaps no one has noticed that she is Mrs. Longfu.

They gave way one after another, and some people bowed their heads and whispered to each other, and all looked sideways.

Meng Baiyun said frankly: "I didn't mean to blackmail you, shopkeeper Xu, I told you yesterday not to make a big deal, let me think about it again, and I just said casually whether you deliberately made trouble, now None of us can see my uncle. He is locked up in Dali Temple. You have to ask him about this matter. If you can’t guarantee it, you can take advantage of the fire, because now my uncle is carrying a murder case, and there can be no more stains. So you take the opportunity to do it for real You pretended to extort money, and when I was angry, you took it seriously, and you actually came to see the official. If my maid didn't tell me, I wouldn't even know."

The master of Fuya breathed a sigh of relief: "No, how could Mrs. Long blackmail you? I'm afraid there may be a misunderstanding about this matter."

Meng Baiyun walked up to Old General Yuan: "Grandfather, you don't know that he sent someone to go to the Dragon Mansion to make trouble. My mother was seriously ill, and she managed to raise her for a few minutes, but in the end he made a fuss and almost died. Aunt Hao has met my mother and knows what I said. I was so angry that I wanted to drive him away and tell him not to come to Longfu to make trouble and not to upset my mother. I didn't expect the things I said just now. He actually made a fuss here."

Meng Baiyun had a face full of helplessness and grievances, all her scheming was hidden in the crevice of her heart, no one could see half of it, only saw her filial piety and her helplessness after being harassed tirelessly.

Xu Mi poked his neck, and also had a look of grievance: "I got angry with the old lady, I was wrong, but I never thought about it, if it is less than 1000 taels, let it go, your family ignored us and drove us out of the house. Let's go, the whole family still has this attitude. Although I am a commoner, I still have pride and dignity. You are so unkind, why should I be righteous with you? If it is serious, I will pay for my life and let people know how much I have suffered. injustice."

Meng Baiyun immediately turned around: "What do you mean by that? Do you think that my grandfather was sitting here to put pressure on Mrs. Mei, to confuse right and wrong, to bully others, to protect each other by officials and officials, and to cheat for personal gain? My mother is so angry, I really need an explanation today, otherwise I won't leave."

"I don't mean that." Xu Mi hurriedly kowtowed, "Master Mei, I really don't mean that."

Mrs. Mei looked embarrassed. This case was tried, where did Mrs. Long sing? Didn’t General Long tell you to act according to the law? He understands everything.

Looking at Old General Yuan, he also had an embarrassing expression.

Suddenly I understood, and I sighed in my heart: You are brilliant, this way, it completely cut off the old general Yuan's thoughts of even a little bit of favoritism and fraud.

Before going to court, I was really afraid that the old general would have a headache halfway through, interrupt the public trial, and then put pressure on him in private.

He is not easy to offend on both sides, but he really wants to do plywood, so he is in a dilemma.

But when Mrs. Long came, these righteous words solved the trouble easily.

The old general was afraid that he would pretend to be sick to interrupt the public trial. Mrs. Long said she would not leave, so the old general pretended to be sick and carried her down. The trial would not continue. Without the old general in charge, he could be more just.

Feeling relieved, he cleared his throat, and said politely, "Come here, give Madam Long a seat. Madam Long, I will give you an explanation."
When the spectators outside heard this, they all laughed. Isn't it necessary for officials to protect each other?
But what happened later surprised them.

After halfway through the trial, the defendant Yuan Qingyi, who had been brought from Dali Temple, was charged.

When General Yuan and Aunt Hao saw Yuan Qingyi, they shook with obvious excitement, and Aunt Hao couldn't help but wanted to go out. After all, it was General Yuan who was calm and stopped her and shook his head.

Seeing them, Yuan Qingyi was also excited and wanted to struggle to escape, and cried out in vain: "Father, I was wronged, Bai Yun, what about Aohan, tell Aohan, I was wronged, I was really wronged, the sachet It's really not poisonous, really not."

"Bastard thing, hush."
The old man roared, quite majestic, Yuan Qingyi's face was full of tears, but he didn't dare to struggle and cry anymore.

When he was brought up today, he thought it was because of the sachet that caused death. It was only when he saw Xu Mi kneeling in the hall that he was stunned for a long time, and asked stupidly: "Master Xu, you have committed another crime." What's up?"

Xu Mi's expression was excited: "Uncle Yuan, you have caused me misfortune."

Yuan Qingyi looked puzzled: "It's terrible, it's terrible, where do I start?"

"Crack!" With the sound of the gavel, no one in the hall stopped talking nonsense. His father is here, and Mrs. Mei directly cut to the point, "Yuan Qingyi, someone accused you of extorting 1000 taels of silver with a fake bottle, but there is such a thing. "

Yuan Qingyi was taken aback, then blushed immediately, without a word of argument.

It took a while to argue: "Well, that's not really too fake, it's because they didn't see it."

This was nothing more than an acknowledgment, Old General Yuan almost passed out, Aunt Hao almost cried, and the melon-eating crowd outside the door applauded secretly.

Meng Baiyun showed some surprise: "So, it's really a fake bottle, that's all, shopkeeper Xu, I didn't mean anything when I said it yesterday, but you disturbed the affairs of Yuan's mansion to my Dragon mansion, and hurt me." My mother's body, that's what I said."

It seems that Mrs. Long is still being filial and reasonable, rather than coming to protect each other from officials.

Xu Mi accepted it as soon as he saw it, "Madam Long, if it wasn't for the Yuan family's bullying too much and avoiding them, I would not be able to swallow my breath, and I would not bother the old lady. If I get angry with the old lady, I will definitely come to the house someday to apologize. "

"Forget it, uncle, why are you so confused, how can... I'm sorry, Mrs. Mei, you interrogate, you interrogate."
