Two days later, Liu Fushun returned to Pingcheng.
He was carried back.
There was a sensation in Pingcheng, and all the reasons came to light.
Zhou Chaoyang never gave up the pursuit of Wan Datou. Huangtian paid off and found Wan Datou hiding on a hill outside Pingcheng. Because Wan Datou refused to surrender, the two sides launched a fierce battle between escape and counter-escape. During the battle, Wan Datou was beheaded by Zhou Chaoyang, ending his evil-doing life.
Later, Zhou Chaoyang and the others found the dying Liu Fushun in Wan Datou's hiding place.
It was an accident to discover Liu Fushun.
Finding another 130,000 taels of silver was even more of an accident.
For three days, Liu Fushun suffered all kinds of torture, humiliation, and various physical injuries. Wan Datou even cut off one of his legs. His left leg was broken at the knee, and all five fingers of his right hand were amputated. The whole person was tortured to such a miserable state, dripping with blood, it was unbearable to look at.
When he was carried back to Pingcheng, the sensation caused was much greater than when Zhou Chaoyang killed Wan Datou, a wanted criminal by the court.
All because of the 130,000 taels of silver.
One hundred and thirty thousand taels of silver was not a small amount. It coincided with the money that the Mo family's uncle and nephew had been defrauded of.
The people in Pingcheng were excited, as were the uncles and nephews of the Mo family. They all speculated on the origin of the 130,000 taels of silver.
For a time, there were various opinions.
Wan Datou has been wanted by the court for a long time. How did he get the fortune of 130,000 taels? It was obvious to all that three masked men had robbed the money from Liu Fugui, and the young widow who was in love with Liu Fugui personally admitted it.
Could it be that Wan Datou is one of the masked men?
If it's not Wan Datou's, then whose is it?
Still, Liu Fushun was also involved in the case of his uncle and nephew being deceived, and even played a leading role. The three of them conspired together, or because Wan Datou wanted to monopolize the money due to uneven distribution, Liu Fugui was imprisoned. Fushun was kidnapped?
Obviously, this conjecture is recognized by most people in Pingcheng.
You said Liu Fushun was innocent, so why did Wan Datou tie him up instead of someone else?
Insider…
There must be a huge inside story.
Reminds me of Liu Fushun's series of reactions after Liu Fugui was arrested...
Everyone was terrified.
This is obviously climbing up with your own hands and feet!
Thinking about Liu Fugui who was subjected to eighteen kinds of torture in prison, I feel sorry for my brother!
This is the brother who can deliver the back.
The brothers stabbed each other at both sides, it turned out to be this way.
Good brothers, let’s drink wine together. I will enjoy the blessings, and you will bear the troubles.
Involuntarily, families with brothers in Pingcheng couldn't help but begin to re-examine their biological brothers. This was just an afterthought.
Of course, the above is just speculation.
The real truth needs to be restored by Magistrate Peng.
Within half a day, Magistrate Peng closed the case. The sensational case of the uncle and nephew of the Mo family being deceived finally came to a conclusion. Wan Datou and Liu Fugui defrauded the uncle and nephew of the Mo family of a huge sum of money. Wan Datou, who was wanted for a crime and was shot dead on the spot. , death is not a pity, and another participant, Liu Fugui, was imprisoned for forty years for a major fraud case in accordance with Dayue Law, and served the entire sentence.
One hundred and thirty thousand taels of silver were returned to the Mo family.
As for Liu Fushun, he is completely a victim and has nothing to do with this case. look
Magistrate Peng hastily closed the case. Although Liu Fushun was removed, the public's eyes were sharp and no one was easy to fool the master. What role did Liu Fushun really play in this? Within half a day, he was in Pingcheng. It spread among a few bright-eyed people.
Who is the fool?
Although Liu Fushun was cleared of all suspicion, he was mutilated by Wan Datou, and suddenly word came from a well-known doctor that he was infertile.
Everyone was in an uproar. Liu Fushun became famous in Pingcheng and was known to everyone in Pingcheng.
I have never heard that only women cannot have children, but this is the first time I have heard that men have physical problems. I really felt sorry for the Zhou family girl. For a time, there were many people who sympathized with the Zhou family, and of course there were many people who ridiculed and ridiculed her. few.
When marrying a wife, you should marry a daughter of the Zhou family. Don’t marry Liu Sanlang if you marry a Han Dynasty.
Of course, the Zhou family is not a vegetarian. Liu Fushun's ugly face was exposed in a short period of time, and the evidence of Liu Fushun's crimes was detailed. During the period of running the Zhou family shop, Liu Fushun embezzled money, engaged in malpractice for personal gain, bullied the market, and poisoned and murdered the two elders of the Zhou family. Attempting to invade the Zhou family and so on, the girls of the Zhou family even made eloquent words to reconcile and draw a clear line with the Liu family.
For a time, Pingcheng's dramas came one after another, and it was very lively.
As a lively topic figure, Liu Fushun stole the limelight. Of course, this limelight is negative.
Liu Fushun's life was full of ups and downs. A poor boy walked out of a mountain village and entered a wealthy family. He only had time to write a legendary history of the poor boy's fortune, but he fell into the mud again in the clouds.
After killing the criminal wanted by the court and solving another major case, the prefect's office was filled with joy. Prefect Peng was even more proud, with his face glowing red, walking with wind in his eyes, and his promotion was just around the corner.
Compared to Magistrate Peng, there is a low pressure in Zhou's family.
Zhou Chaoyang knelt in the lobby full of broken porcelain pieces, lowering his head and saying nothing. Compared with his bravery when he killed Wan Datou, he was as docile as a little sheep at this time.
Zhou Zhongcheng was so angry that his face glowed red and he hurried back and forth. Several times he wanted to pick up the cane whip on the desk and hit him hard.
"Unfilial son, evil son, I have raised you in vain." Zhou Zhongcheng sat down in one breath, his chest rising and falling, and the anger in his heart did not subside for a long time.
He arranged in advance for his confidants to go to Jiangsu and Zhejiang first and wait on the way, just to prevent Liu Fushun from returning and to reduce the harm to the Zhou family, but...
After all his calculations, he missed the Xiao family.
This little woman Xiao Ming.
After seeing through his plan, he also collaborated with his adopted son and used Wan Datou to make this interception and killing plan.
OK! You want revenge, you want to kill Liu Fushun, I don’t care, it’s your fault, but why did you send Liu Fushun back to him?
Why send it back?
It is really difficult to raise a woman and a villain.
The little girl is scheming and hesitant in doing things. Why not be more vicious and kill her directly?
I'm sorry that Xiao Ming just wanted to use Wan Datou's help to teach Liu Fushun a lesson, not to kill him.
What makes him even more troubled is that his adopted son actually conspired with Xiao Ming to really bring Liu Fushun back. Do you think you are stupid or not? It would be better to just add a knife. The world only knows that Liu Fushun died at the hands of Wan Datou.
Who could doubt it?
Liu Fushun came back alive, threw this rotten stone back and asked him to clean up their tail.
I have to say that Zhou Zhongcheng was actually tricked by this little girl Xiao Ming.
In this way, he fell short of success.
When things got to this point, he could only try his best to save the Zhou family's fragile reputation, secretly dealt with Manager Liu, and spent a lot of money to bribe Magistrate Peng to let him close the case early, make Liu Fushun's crimes public, and take the opportunity to reconcile.
The main reason why he removed Liu Fushun from the case was because he did not want people to think that the Zhou family was coveting the Mo family's wealth.
After a series of operations by him, the case was quickly closed, and the reputation of the Zhou family was not openly discussed.
It's just that it hasn't been put on the table for discussion.
Who is the fool? Everyone wants to transform into a powerful person, become a reasoner, and secretly figure out the incident clearly. Now everyone is secretly laughing at the Zhou family, laughing at him for being blind-sighted.
