Chapter 266

Knowing husband Mo Ruo's wife, Rong Lanxue looked at Zong Yunlong's face and his eyes that seemed to be spitting fire. She felt a burst of resentment in her heart and followed closely behind. This time she would not let Zong Yunlong go face to face alone again. To that cruel punishment!

Hu Qianfang, Elder Yang, Zong Dafu and others also followed closely behind, walking towards the grand hall hung high with a bright light.

The governor sat in the middle of the hall, and the county magistrate Jiang Zhiyuan sat on the side of the hall, watching Zong Yunlong and the others come in, the governor nodded slightly, but Jiang Zhiyuan immediately had a cold look in his eyes, as if there were sharp arrows in his eyes, ruthlessly He shot at Zong Yunlong fiercely.

Zong Yunlong looked at Jiang Zhiyuan, his enemy met, and he was extremely jealous. He stood there, the anger in his heart reached the extreme, and his body shook slightly. Rong Lanxue saw Zong Yunlong was too excited, anxious in his heart, and hurried forward , gently pulled Zong Yunlong's fist, and whispered: "Sir, please be safe and don't be impatient. Don't be fooled."

Zong Yunlong's heart shook, and he immediately understood Rong Lanxue's meaning. He tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart, knelt down to the governor in the hall, and shouted: "The grassroots Zong Yunlong has seen the governor." Immediately Rong Lan Xue and the others also knelt down in unison, with many respectful voices.

The governor stroked his short beard slightly, nodded and said: "Everyone, please get up."

Zong Yunlong was just about to get up, but he heard Jiang Zhiyuan say coldly from the side: "Master Qiao, I don't know if I am here now, can I be considered an official?"

Governor Qiao frowned slightly and said, "Master Jiang, you are the parent officer of Guangzhou City, why do you ask such a question?"

"Hehe, Master Qiao, since I am the parent officer in Guangzhou City, why do these people kneel and kowtow when they see you, but turn a deaf ear to me? I don't know what crime is there for despising the parent officer?"

"This..." Governor Qiao felt angry for a while, and he became more and more disgusted with Jiang Zhiyuan. He looked at Zong Yunlong, Rong Lanxue and others standing below, waved his hand and said, "You are too, why don't you give Jiang Zhiyuan a hand?" My lord is kneeling and kowtowing, hurry up and kowtow to him."

Zong Yunlong heard Jiang Zhiyuan's words, and the fire in his heart was about to burst out immediately. Rong Lanxue quickly pulled Zong Yunlong's arm, and Hu Qianfang also stepped forward immediately, knelt down on Jiang Zhiyuan's knees, and praised: " Mr. Jiang, let us forget it for a while, please forgive me, Mr. Jiang."

Jiang Zhiyuan ignored Hu Qianfang, his eyes were fixed on Zong Yunlong, his face turned ashen for a while, Rong Lanxue immediately pulled Zong Yunlong and shook his head, Zong Yunlong had no choice but to lower his head, close his eyes, and fell to his knees with a plop: "Cao Min Zong Yunlong has met Mr. Jiang."

Jiang Zhiyuan sneered, with a smug look on his face, and said in a deep voice, "Zong Yunlong, you are quite courageous."

Zong Yunlong knelt on the ground and said coldly: "Master Jiang, Zong Yunlong is stupid and doesn't understand what Master Jiang means."

Jiang Zhiyuan snorted, and said sharply: "You have committed such a heinous crime. The officer and the governor are kind and want you to go back and think about your past, but you are bewitching the public and instigating these ignorant. Truth. Elders, for what you have done to avenge the people, Zong Yunlong, you really are lawless."

Zong Yunlong raised his head, looking at Jiang Zhiyuan with a pair of sharp phoenix eyes, his brows were raised upright.His fists were clenched and rattling.Rong Lanxue was worried that Zong Yunlong would not be able to control her emotions, so she suppressed the grief and indignation in her heart, walked up to the governor a few steps, and said slowly: "Your Excellency, you asked us husband and wife to come here today, but are you going to humiliate me in court?"

Governor Qiao listened to Jiang Zhiyuan's words, he was no longer in his heart, now seeing Rong Lanxue's accusation again, he couldn't help but waved his hand and said: "Master Jiang, the interrogation hasn't started yet, don't be so aggressive, Zong Yunlong, just get up. "

Jiang Zhiyuan was startled, and secretly hated Governor Qiao.But his expression remained unchanged, he snorted, and didn't even look at Zong Yunlong.

Zong Yunlong over there immediately walked over on his knees, kowtowed to Governor Qiao, and praised: "Thank you, Governor." Rong Lanxue hurried over and gently supported Zong Yunlong, standing in the middle of the lobby.

Governor Qiao looked at the dark crowd below, coughed a few times, and said in a deep voice: "Zong Yunlong, the government received a pleadings, accusing you of raping and killing maids, forcing nurses to death, and forcibly occupying real estate and land. Is there such a thing?"

Zong Yunlong gave a salute, and replied loudly: "Master Governor, the grassroots have always been law-abiding and tolerant towards the servants of the mansion, but I don't know where this pleading paper came from?"

Governor Qiao waved the paper in his hand and said, "Master Lu, show it to Zong Yunlong."

Master Lu quickly took it, and gently handed it to Zong Yunlong.Zong Yunlong glanced slightly, the blood-red handprint on it was shocking, Zong Yunlong immediately thought that in the hall, Jiang Zhiyuan tortured him severely.Zong Yunlong couldn't help but sneered and said: "Your Excellency, you have made such a false accusation against me, but there is no one to prove it."

Jiang Zhiyuan immediately stood up and said: "Zong Yunlong, don't be too presumptuous, this is the county government, not your clan's mansion, let you be arrogant here!"

Zong Yunlong gave Jiang Zhiyuan a cold sideways glance, frowned slightly, stepped forward and said, "Master Jiang, you arrested me indiscriminately and tortured me in the yamen, and now you are here fabricating up unwarranted charges and imprisoning me On my body, Master Jiang, I don’t know why you, a majestic court official, want to have trouble with me, a small commoner!”

Jiang Zhiyuan shouted loudly: "This paper certificate was issued by your clan's elders. I am just upholding justice and bringing you to justice, but you are here spewing blood and roaring at the court, Zong Yunlong, you are going to fight!" Other people's aura, such as your stubborn nature, doesn't need any retrial at all, so they should be beheaded directly to show the public!"

When the people in the hall heard Jiang Zhiyuan's words, they couldn't help being in an uproar.Suddenly made a mess.Governor Qiao was furious in his heart, slammed the gavel, and shouted angrily: "Presumptuous! Jiang Zhiyuan, my house is here, and you interrupted my house again and again. Threatening Zong Yunlong, what do you want?" for!"

Seeing that Governor Qiao was furious, Jiang Zhiyuan calmed down a little, retreated to his seat, gave Zong Yunlong and Rong Lanxue a hard look, and thought about the next step.

Governor Joe was out of breath.Master Lu hurriedly served a cup of hot tea, Governor Qiao drank it slowly, and gradually calmed down.

Hu Qianfang stepped forward lightly, cupped his hands and said, "Master Governor, please give Zong Yunlong justice."

Governor Qiao nodded, slapped the gavel, and said sharply, "Come here, bring the plaintiff, Zong Chen." Rong Lanxue was stunned for a moment, looking at the entrance of the lobby, the second wife came in gracefully, and then she understood It turned out that the second wife's maiden name was Chen.

The second wife walked to the front of the hall, and Wan Fu said: "Master Zong Chen, a civilian woman, has seen the governor and the county magistrate." Governor Qiao nodded, and said slowly: "Master Zong Chen, get up."

Zong Chen immediately smiled and said: "Thank you, sir." Governor Qiao looked at Zong Chen. Governor Qiao had heard some legends about her, and always wondered what kind of person this second wife of the Zong family was. Being able to captivate the fascination of the famous patriarch of the clan, seeing him today, is indeed a well-deserved reputation.

I saw the second wife with a thin melon-seeded face, who had applied a lot of powder and white official powder, making her face whiter and whiter, her eyebrows shaved thin, slightly frivolous, her nose bridge exposed, and her small cherry mouth was painted again. Thick rouge, black hair loosely tied behind his head.

Looking at her body again, she was wearing an embroidered light green jacket and a flowery rose red skirt underneath. She was over forty years old, but her figure was as graceful as a willow in the wind.The second wife looked at Governor Qiao and looked at her with good eyes, her face twisted slightly, but her eyes were shining with excitement.

She opened her mouth slightly, showing a shy look about to say something. Governor Qiao swallowed involuntarily, and her voice softened a lot: "Mr. Zong Chen, you are suing Zong Yunlong. Is there anyone to prove it?"

"Master Governor, when Mama Yang handed over the house deed to the slave's family, her maid Jin Ling was watching, but now Jin Ling has no whereabouts. Governor, where can the slave family go to find witnesses? The slave family is just a weak woman..."

The second master listened to the second wife's coercion, his face was flushed red with blood, he pointed at the second wife and was speechless.

Governor Qiao looked at the second wife with interest, and laughed, "Oh? So, the second wife has no witnesses?" The second wife nodded immediately, while looking at Governor Qiao tenderly.

Governor Qiao nodded, and asked again: "Is there any physical evidence?" The second wife quickly took out the two pieces of paper from her sleeve, Master Lu came down, took the two pieces of paper, and respectfully handed them to Governor Qiao .Governor Qiao took it over, glanced at it, and said to Zong Yunlong, "The second wife has your house deed here, what can you say?"

Zong Yunlong cupped his hands and said: "My lord, this, I hope my lord can invite Hu Que, the elder brother of Caomin, to come in."

Governor Qiao pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "Yes, let him in."

Immediately, the yamen servant passed on the message loudly: "Tell Hu Que..." Hu Que stood at the gate of the yamen, listening to the shout of the yamen servant, he didn't dare to neglect, and immediately pushed aside the crowd, squeezed in and said: "My lord, Hu Que, a grass man, has seen grown ups."

"Hu Que, your brother asked you to come and testify. What strong evidence do you have?" Governor Qiao looked at the gentle Hu Que, and couldn't help but think of Qiao Wen who had run away from home. Hu Que's tone was also much calmer.

Hu Que smiled slightly, cupped his hands to Governor Qiao, and said, "My lord, you have a house deed of the second wife's land in your hand, and the grassroots have never seen it before."

The second wife immediately said: "You guys have met before. You lied to me that the one I took was fake!"

Hu Que shook his head and said, "Second Madam, it's not that we lied to you. I have no less than ten such deeds, all of which were found in Mama Yang's room. Governor, if these are true, then Shall we divide the land into ten tenths?"

Governor Qiao was slightly taken aback, and couldn't help asking: "Hu Que, what do you mean by that?"

Hu Que cupped his hands and stepped forward, and said loudly: "My lord, the house deed and land deed in the hands of the second wife are faked by Yang Mama herself, and she deliberately released the rumors to gain some benefits from it. The real house deed and land deed is still in the hands of Young Master Zong At home, the theory of selling houses and land is actually because of Mama Yang, a slave who is collecting money privately, and other people are greedy for money, which will cause such troubles. After all, the source of this has to be traced to Mama Yang. Please learn from me !"

The second wife over there immediately shouted: "My lord, don't listen to his nonsense now. They are a group of people who depend on our house and refuse to return the land. They still have to argue here. My lord, then Mama Yang has already Turned to ashes, now they can say anything."

Governor Qiao listened, nodded and said: "Yes, Hu Que, what the second wife said is also reasonable. Now there is no proof."

Hu Que thought for a while, then immediately raised his head and said, "We still have witnesses!"

"Oh?" Governor Qiao stroked his beard and said in amazement: "Witness? This witness can't be someone from your house, otherwise the testimonies spoken cannot be counted."
