Gu Mingjue took advantage of the situation and said: "The Liu family is complaining, so tell me, what's wrong with this complaint?"
Liu Hongsheng may not be very smart, but he is not stupid either.
Understanding that Gu Mingjue was supporting him, he immediately said: "Sir, the complaint says that I want to arrest Wang Xiaogen for my son's life. I just want to ask, they are just villagers of Wangjia Village, far from Jiangning Prefecture. How does Ban Yuan know these things?"
Wang Defa saw Liu Hongsheng pretending to be stupid and said anxiously: "Of course it was your guard who said that."
"Guard? Which of my guards?"
"Your bodyguard named Ye Fei is tied up by us, so don't even think about denying him."
Liu Hongsheng snorted: "It's good that Ye Fei is my bodyguard, but he is following my order to invite Wang Xiaogen to the Liu family to help the miracle doctor I hired and save my son. He is not going to kill your son."
"You don't admit it now? You said you would trade my son's life for another."
Seeing Liu Hongsheng retort, Wang De became extremely anxious.
Look towards Baili Xingmou.
Baili Xingmou shook his head at him, signaling him to calm down.
Su Yixin also saw that Wang Defa and Liu Hongsheng were not opponents of the same level at all.
He is not an official, but he has an in-law who is an official.
What's going on here is something that Wang Defa can't understand.
So he whispered in Wang Defa's ear: "Uncle, no matter what Liu Hongsheng says later, don't speak. Leave this matter to my cousin. Don't worry, Liu Hongsheng will not let him walk out of the court easily. Also. If you have Xiaogen, don't say anything, or you may fall into Liu Hongsheng's trap."
"Yeah, we remember."
"It's not Liu who retorted, but I suspected that after you knew that your son could save my son's life, and that my family was rich, you opened your mouth to me like a lion. I don't agree, and you are the evil one to complain first, saying I will kill your son for my own son."
Liu Hongsheng's words were simply pouring dirty water on them.
If he hadn't agreed to Su Yixin, he wouldn't have been able to speak, lest he be fooled by Liu Hongsheng.
Wang Defa couldn't help but pounce on Liu Hongsheng and punch Liu Hongsheng several times.
Seeing that they were silent, Liu Hongsheng felt happy and said to Gu Mingjue: "Sir, didn't they say they captured my guard? You might as well call my guard over and I'll confront him face to face."
Listen to what Liu Hongsheng said.
The people outside couldn't help but be a little shaken.
It's not like what Liu Hongsheng said, this Wang Defa is trying to extort people's money.
Otherwise, how could Liu Hongsheng dare to confront the captured guards in the courtroom.
Gu Mingjue said: "Where are the guards that the Liu Family Master mentioned just now? I need to call them for questioning."
Baili Xingmou nodded: "Why don't you dare? Brother Wuxie, please lead the government servants to bring those people."
Li Zhengzhen nodded.
Capt. Cao got Gu Mingjue's signal, nodded his two good hands, and followed Li Zhengzhen.
When Li Zhengzhen turned around, he heard the message from Baili Xingmou. As he walked, he grinned at Capt. Cao: "Let's go, I'll take you there now."
They came from Wangjiacun Yujian.
First, he went to the inn, opened a room, and left the five people there, and then came to the county government office to beat drums and complain.
After throwing them into the inn, Su Yixin then set up a formation and untied the ropes and talismans on the five people. Several people were sleeping soundly.
Li Zhengzhen walked in first.
Before Cao Captou could react, Li Zhengzhen flicked a pill as big as a peanut into Ye Fei's throat.
The elixir melts in your mouth.
The effect of the medicine was very fast. Ye Fei was woken up in a daze. Before he could react, the medicine had already melted in his mouth.
Ye Fei only thought that what he felt at that moment was that he was choking on his own saliva.
Take Ye Fei to the Yamen.
When Ye Fei saw Liu Hongsheng, he felt guilty.
After all, he betrayed Liu Hongsheng and deceived Liu Hongsheng into Wangjiacun by writing a letter.
Gu Mingjue was shocked: "The people standing in the hall are Ye Fei, Fang Zhong, Yu San, Qian Shu, and Fan Er."
"Sir, they are ordinary people."
Five people replied.
Gu Mingjue asked again: "Wang Defa just said that Liu Hongsheng, the head of the Liu family, sent five of you to Wangjia Village to capture Wang Xiaogen in order to treat his son Liu Tianchao. Is this true?"
Ye Fei and others looked at Liu Hongsheng in unison.
That's what they were ordered to do.
So they all nodded.
Liu Hongsheng said: "Listen, everyone, I just want Wang Xiaogen to come to the Liu family to help the miracle doctor treat my son, and I don't want to kill him. They are just unruly people. They want the lion's mouth to open up and want my Liu family's money. I If they don't agree, they will get angry and want to sue me for murder. If the poor have no money, it's still reasonable!"
"Ah sneeze..."
After Liu Hongsheng finished speaking, he sneezed loudly.
It's cold.
Liu Hongsheng followed them to wield the sword all night and blew it in the air for half a night.
Even if he was wearing a fox fur coat, he couldn't stop the cold.
How did Liu Hongsheng know that Gao Ge did it on purpose? They were all protected by spiritual energy in mid-air. Wang Defa and Wang Xiaogen were protected by their spiritual energy. Natural wind could not blow them and they were still warm.
He blew the air in the open-top plane for an hour or two, and it was strange that he didn't catch a cold.
Liu Hongsheng didn't have time to be happy yet.
Ye Fei suddenly said: "No, it's not like that. That's what the Liu family leader ordered us to do at first. But after we were arrested, when the Liu family leader took people to Wangjia Village, he didn't say that. He wanted Wang Defa to sell his son. Give it to him and let Wang Xiaogen risk his life to save his son."
"You, Ye Fei. You are talking nonsense!"
"I'm not talking nonsense. The head of the Liu family said that the lives of poor people are worthless, so he offered 10,000 taels for Wang Xiaogen's life!"
Ye Fei finished speaking.
There's a big explosion outside.
"Hey, Liu Hongsheng is so useless."
"That is, what does it mean that the lives of the poor are worthless? If we had not worked so hard to grow food and vegetables, they would eat and drink whatever we grew, and they would look down on us and not look at themselves. He’s just a stinky businessman.”
"Yes, scholars, farmers, industrialists and merchants. They are of low status and dare to look down on us."
When Liu Hongsheng arrived here, he became obviously panicked.
He didn't expect Ye Fei to say these words suddenly.
To say that he was in their hands before, they deceived him to save his life, but now he is in Jiangning Prefecture, on their own territory.
Why are you still saying these words?
During the Northern Song Dynasty, the economy was actually more developed than that of the Tang Dynasty, and basically everyone was doing business.
However, the status of merchants in the Song Dynasty was still very low, because the court's policy was to emphasize agriculture and suppress business, and there had always been very harsh business taxes on merchants.
Some local officials will also try their best to collect various taxes from businessmen.
That's why Liu Hongsheng did everything possible to get in touch with Gu Mingjue and give his young daughter to this man who was only one year younger than him as a concubine.
Such is the way of the world.
