The crowd was excited. Kong Yiji also stood up and raised his arms. There were tears in his eyes at this moment. He believed that from this moment on, the hearts of the people of Qinghe County would be tightly tied to the adults.
On the territory of Qinghe County, adults will definitely respond to everything from now on.
He is glad that he met Master Kong, a century-old genius, and that he can become the master of Master Kong, a century-old genius, and have the opportunity to serve him wholeheartedly!
When he had finished saying what needed to be said and pretending to be cool, Kong Fang pressed down to signal everyone to be silent. After all, there was still an unresolved lawsuit.
Wu Di and his wife saw the magistrate's methods, and they believed that if they said anything to displease him, they would be trampled into pieces by dozens or hundreds of feet behind them.
"I said, I said..."
Before Kong Fang could go to trial, Wu Di was crying and rushing to explain.
It turns out that although the Wu family was a salt merchant and one of the largest families in Qinghe County, the Wu family had never been prosperous, and it was still a single family in the next generation of warriors.
A samurai would marry a wife when he was seventeen years old, but he did not have a son until the year he was established, namely Wu Ti. There are people to carry on the family line, but the warrior Yue and his wife are always unwilling to accept it.
So, five years later, they had another son, Wu Sang.
At this point, the Wu family has completely gotten rid of the fate of being passed down from generation to generation, and the couple and their parents are proud and proud.
In order to spread the branches of the Wu family as soon as possible, Wu Di and Wu Song were arranged to marry when they were teenagers. Unfortunately, they followed the footsteps of their parents in terms of childbearing and had no heirs.
They also prayed to God and worshiped Buddha all the way, and finally this year the clouds cleared and the sun and moon could be seen, and both sisters-in-law were pregnant. The whole family couldn't be more happy.
Especially for the samurai Yue couple, they were very relieved to see the branches of the samurai family blooming in their lifetime. They felt that they would have the honor to meet their ancestors a hundred years later.
Mrs. Jiang got pregnant first and gave birth naturally first, and her son was the grandson of Wu. She proposed that the Wu family should establish a succession system for the head of the family.
In fact, her proposal is not new. Today, all families in the world have this eldest son inheritance system. The first heir in the family must be the eldest son. The head of the family is inherited by the eldest son, and the ancestral hall is also enshrined by the eldest son.
Because the Wu family has been passed down from generation to generation, this system is in name only and no one has ever cared about it. Now it's okay for Jiang to propose it, at least the warriors will have no objection.
Wu Song had an easy-going personality and he had no objection.
After discussion, the family solemnly established the eldest son inheritance system. Of course, forgetting the generation of Wu Di and Wu Sen, it should start from the generation of Wu Jin and Wu Bao.
Obviously, Wu Jin is the first heir to the Wu family.
This is all written into the family tree.
However, people make plans and God makes things happen. Just when Wu Di and his wife were complacent about winning rights for their son, an accident happened.
It's their fault. They disliked the nanny hired by Qi for being clumsy and unable to take care of or coax the children, so they drove her away. They haven't found a nanny that satisfies them yet, so they can only let them take care of the child first.
It was this decision that they regretted for the rest of their lives.
That day they fed the child, but due to inexperience the child choked. When they hurriedly got the child's food out, the child was no longer breathing.
They were immediately frightened and cried without tears while holding the child's body.
Eventually they buried the child quietly. They thought about having another child, but it was not easy for them to conceive. Even if there was a chance to have another child, the child would have lost the chance to become a grandson.
Wu Di may not feel that strong, but Jiang is different. She was born into a big family and had witnessed it all. Not only was her father not the eldest son, he was also a concubine. Only people in their lineage understood the bitterness.
Therefore, the status of the eldest grandson that she was unwilling to obtain disappeared. She still had the dream that the mother is more valuable than the son, so she thought of Bao'er, the second child.
Wu Jin and Wu Bao were born less than ten days apart, so the success rate of confusing the fake with the real one is extremely high. After the couple conspired, Wu Di bought the incense from Jianghu people, charmed Wu Fu, his wife and the nanny in the middle of the night, and then secretly carried Wu Bao back to his room.
The second child's child was missing, and the family was naturally anxious. The whole family went out to search for the missing child, and Wu Di and his wife also pretended to be involved.
They thought they had done a perfect job, but the nanny happened to be passing by when Mrs. Jiang was changing Wu Bao's diaper yesterday. She recognized the child as Wu Bao at a glance and informed Wu and his wife.
Of course Mrs. Jiang would not admit it willingly, and in turn scolded the second child for losing his own gains and losing his mind for admitting his son.
The Samurai Yue couple heard the quarrel and intervened to stop it.
However, not long after the baby was born, they couldn't tell whether the baby was Wu Jin or Wu Bao. The family quarreled all day and all night with no result, and the samurai became increasingly helpless and had to report to the official.
Everyone knows what happened next, and the county magistrate solved the case cleverly with his wisdom.
Listening to Wu Di's confession, the warrior closed his eyes in pain, and Qi fainted several times. Wu Di has always had an impetuous personality, and the Jiang family's concubine daughter is not as virtuous as the Lin family.
But for the sake of a bowl of water, although the couple prefers the Wusong couple in their hearts, they never dare to express it too much. They always hire two nannies, one to take care of Jin'er and the other to take care of Bao'er. They never owe anyone anything.
They even had no objection to the inheritance system proposed by Jiang. But they committed suicide by driving away the nanny and killing Jin'er. Jin'er was also a member of the Wu family!
I originally thought that the Wu family would blossom from now on, and the couple would be able to laugh at their ancestors after their death. Unfortunately, the child died due to his parents' stupidity.
What a sin!
The warrior Yue burst into tears again. He suddenly grabbed the water and fire stick from the yamen servant and smashed it on Wu Di's head. Fortunately, another yamen servant was quick-sighted and kicked Wu Di away, and he barely escaped death.
Kong Fang was startled. He didn't expect that Old Man Wu had such a bad temper. Fortunately, he was old at that age. If he were young and agile, Wu Di would have been beaten.
Beating someone to death in the courtroom, even if Kong Fang tried to be more liberal, Old Man Wu would not be able to escape the king's law.
He quickly asked someone to help the Samurai Yue and his wife down, and then continued the trial. In fact, the facts of the case are very clear, and only the final verdict is left.
As for how to judge, Kong Fang was in a dilemma. Although Wu Di and his wife stole Bao'er, they did not buy or abuse her. They just raised her as their own son. It was not easy for Kong Fang to convict them of abducting the baby.
Let's sentence him to burglary. What they stole was a baby, not money, and it's not easy to sentence him.
Well, since it's not easy to judge, I will let the Gourd Monk judge the Gourd case. The two of them will each play thirty pieces. As for Qiuhou Wenzhan?
....Well, let's forget it. If they still deserve to be punished, they will be imprisoned for another three years to serve as a warning to others.
The case of the missing person in the secret room was closed.
Kong Fang yawned and rubbed his waist with his backhand. Kong Yiji showed him the prisoner's confession and trial records, and he read them in a hurry.
