Mixing ancient times with Taobao

Chapter 181
In fact, Zuo Fu was not sure whether the two corpses dug up in Li's manor were Taozhi's parents.It's just that before starting to punish Li Cang, Zuo Fu ordered people to monitor Li's family.Just a few days ago, Li Xiang discovered something unusual in the Li family, so he secretly followed.

Unexpectedly, I saw a play about burying people late at night.After that, they saw a little girl sneaking around the place where the corpse was buried. They instinctively realized that this would be an important witness, so they controlled her and brought her back to the yamen. When they were making trouble at Li's house, they dug up the body.

To their surprise, they only dug up the body of a young girl, but not the bodies of Taozhi's parents.

Looking back on the scene that day, it seems that only one person was indeed buried.This doesn't make any sense. Could it be that Ling Taozhi's parents haven't been killed yet?So there is no body hidden?
After extensively digging up Li's house, after digging up the two corpses, after preliminary investigation, Li Xiang felt that the two might be Taozhi's parents.He sent someone to run back first, and asked someone to pass a note to Zuo Fu quietly. After Zuo Fu saw it, he also felt that the two were probably Taozhi's parents.

And the corpses of the two carriages made Zuo Fu even more frightened.

I don't know how long these people have been persecuted. According to her knowledge, these people have been buried underground for many years.Every month, every year, I don't know how much darkness is hidden in this wealthy mansion, so many people died...

What puzzled Zuo Fu was why they transported the peach branches out for burial alone.Aren't they afraid of accidents when they buried the victim in their own manor?

"You crazy woman, you crazy woman!"

The old lady of the Li family trembled, "You are crazy, you are crazy!"

"Am I crazy?! Am I crazy?!"

Mrs. Zhao yelled frantically, "I told Ling Taozhi to run away. You insisted on arresting her for the sake of the Li family's reputation, and also arrested her parents. It's all about you, old woman Yu, and it's all about you!" This old lady Yu did it! It was you, it was you! It was you who indulged Saburo and made him do such outrageous things! That child was only ten years old, did you forget the way he stared at us when he died?! Retribution, retribution... ..."

Zhao's eyes suddenly widened, and she looked at Zuo Fu in horror, "It's you, it's you! You have died, you have supernatural powers, you have supernatural powers! Otherwise, how would you know where the peach branch is hiding?!"

"Let me ask you, who poisoned Taozhi and her parents?"

"is her!"

Mrs. Zhao pointed at the old lady of the Li family, "She ordered the woman next to her to pour boiling water, and then lit the charcoal stove, suffocating the parents of the Ling family! It was her, it was her! It wasn't me, it wasn't me..."

Mrs. Zhao shrank into a ball, "I didn't kill it, I didn't kill it... I tried to persuade Saburo not to hurt the young boy many times, but he didn't listen, he didn't listen... Old Yu Po made things difficult for me, it was all her, and it was all her. It's her..."

"You crazy woman!"

Li Xuan scolded, "It's all done by you, why are you blaming my mother?!"

"Li Fan!"

Mrs. Zhao stared and gritted her teeth, "Are you sacrificing me?! I am the daughter of the Zhao family! My father will not let you go! It's your fault, it's your fault!"

Zuo Fu watched this scene coldly, and sneered in his heart: Ling Taozhi is just one of the victims!How many of you are clean?
Walking to the side of the trial case, he asked Cai Yichen, "Cai Yushi, do you still think that this officer judged the case indiscriminately?"

"I didn't expect this scholarly family's family to be so dirty..."

Cai Yichen looked angry, "So you still have the nerve to sue?!"

Zuo Fu waved his hand, and Chun Ya handed over a thick stack of petitions, Zuo Fu said: "There are 78 petitions here, all of which accuse the members of the Li family for occupying fertile land and torturing and killing slaves."

She paused and said: "Slaves are human beings and have parents. I'm afraid I have to accept these lawsuits."

The corner of Cai Yichen's mouth twitched, and he glanced at Li Chan with some complaints, and then said: "Human life is greater than heaven, and a lawsuit involving human life must be tried carefully."

"It would be great if an adult said that!"

Zuo Fu nodded, "Come here, take all the people into custody, and wait for the judge to interrogate them one by one. If there is no crime, they will be released in court!"

"Yes, my lord!"

Li Xiang and others set up a tent outside, just above the dog cage.There are so many people, the county government prison can't hold them anymore, so I can only wrong these people, let's stay in the dog cage for the time being.

Liu Yuanjie personally led a group of sergeants to guard these people, while the main criminals were directly put into the prison of the county government.

With so many complaints received, and the payment of grain and 17 mu of land to be verified, it is foreseeable that this case will not be completed in a month.

The people who had watched the bustle all day slowly dispersed. When they came, they were gloating, but when they left, they were a little heavy-hearted.

It is said that there is a lot of filth in the rich and powerful family, but they did not expect that not only is there a lot of filth, but it is also so dangerous.

Thinking of the two carts of corpses that had lost all flesh and bones, I felt my scalp tingle.These can still be found, and what else can't be found?How many lives would that be?
In the early Ming Dynasty, the trading of slaves was prohibited, but later, with the loosening of rules and regulations, the trading of slaves became popular, and even the rich could make slaves. If poor people like them had no other choice, becoming slaves of wealthy families was the last choice.

But looking at these corpses, and thinking about what the Li family did, he couldn't help but feel angry at the same time!
Why? !

We are all human!I went to your house not for nothing, but for work, how can you treat us like pigs? !
Human life!
A human life that is greater than the sky is humiliated casually like this. Think about that ten-year-old Ling Taozhi, who was burned to death after suffering inhuman torture, how painful it must be? !Even their parents didn't escape the claws of the devil, and they were killed together, this group of people! !

Anger was gathering in the hearts of the people.As time passed, cases were reviewed one by one, more details were revealed, and even other squires were brought out.

Zuo Fu was not polite, and directly arrested these squires.Those who organized militias and resisted stubbornly went directly to Feilei Cannon, and after blowing up the people's lair, they were arrested.

And these details were also published in Changzhou Daily, and now the public opinion in the entire Changzhou is controlled by Zuo Fu.Faced with these lords, the people's anger has reached the extreme, and they pressed their red handprints one after another, demanding that Zuo Fu severely punish these gentry, and some even proposed to behead them all.

On the contrary, Zuo Fu seemed very cautious.

These squires are hateful, but they are not all damned.The purpose of her public trial was to popularize the law and deter people, not to do something that everyone should be punished for, so after carefully reviewing all the files, she found out the chief villains of the Li family and confiscated most of the family property. Then the three sons of the Li family, Li Cang and Zhao, were sentenced to be hanged.

As for the old lady of the Li family, although she is too old, although it is hateful, but in this old country, if people of this age are also killed, it will cause some bad reactions, so the death penalty will be changed to no time limit It is the greatest punishment for her...
