Huang Wei saw the conversation between mother and daughter becoming more and more tense. He immediately interrupted and scolded Dai Shi: "If you don't care, Lianghe will not go to the Yamen." Then he turned to Huang Jing. Shu said: "Your mother is just a little anxious, she is afraid that we white-haired people will give away black-haired people."
After sighing, he continued: "Your brother has been weak since he was a child. Your mother and I were worried that he would not be able to bear it in prison. This time he was a little more impulsive, but the matter has come to this, and we were wrong. Let’s admit it, even if it’s okay to let your Shengdi help Fang’s family take care of themselves in the future, we must give your Shengdi a chance to correct his mistakes.”
He wiped his eyes and said, "I don't know if your brother can still come out with his whole body intact."
Huang Jingshu looked at her father, who was not young to begin with, but now he was ten years older. She couldn't help but feel a trace of sadness in her heart, and then said: "I will talk to my husband more when I go back. He will definitely not I won’t care.”
"Okay." "Although your father and I are also court officials, we don't have much power in our hands. My son-in-law is promising, so we have to rely on his help this time." Huang Wei said good things about Chen Lianghe again.
Being able to become the Duke of the country means you have accomplished something, and you have gained the emperor's respect in recent years. Therefore, Huang Wei's words made Huang Jingshu feel somewhat proud that she had married a good husband. However, it was not the time to feel proud now, and she was busy thinking about what she had just felt in her heart. He hid the trace of pride that emerged, then stood up and prepared to go back.
Huang Jingshu thought about going home and discussing with Chen Lianghe, so she left in a hurry. However, her mother Dai was very dissatisfied with her hurried look. "Look at her, she is walking so fast. I think she is..." I don’t want to help.”
"As expected, it was the married girl who threw the water away."
Huang Wei listened impatiently, "If you keep talking like this, she will really throw water away from you in the future."
"She dares! She was born to me, so she should be filial to me, and she should help take care of things at home, otherwise she is unfilial."
After returning home, Huang Jingshu became even more depressed. After thinking about it, she invited Chen Lianghe to her room in the evening. The two of them talked some more while they rested.
The next day, Huang Jingshu turned away from the boredom of the day before. After eating the breakfast prepared by others with good appetite, she sent someone to invite her mother Dai to come over. After Dai came, the two discussed it in the house. After a while, Dai was left to have lunch at the Duke's Mansion before someone sent her back.
Shortly after Dai left, Chen Jingshu had someone send a greeting card to Fang's house.
On the third day after the invitation was sent to Fang's house, Huang Jingshu went to Fang's house with her personal maid.
When the Huang family was worried about their youngest son, Mo Ziwan was also anxious. She wanted to know the date of the trial as soon as possible. She looked forward to it every day and waited. After waiting for three days, she still didn't see Chang Hu return to the village to talk about the date of the trial. Mo Ziyuan really couldn't wait any longer, so she approached Yu Silian again and said she wanted to go to Beijing to see the situation.
Yu Silian was also worried that things had changed, so she agreed this time without Mo Ziwan having to act coquettishly. But before the two of them got on the road, Changhu returned to the village, and two other people came back with him.
Changhu took the two of them back to the Han family and introduced to Yu Silian: "Madam, they are Master Fang's men. They came to the village to bring a few people from the village to serve as witnesses for Uncle Mo and the others."
After Yu Silian entertained the maid at home for tea, she asked about the situation of Han Shuxian and the Mo family at the Fang family, "How are my husband-in-law and the Mo family?"
One of them replied: "Madam, don't worry, they are all fine. In order to prevent the Mo family's case from spreading, my master kept Mr. Han and the Mo family here. The old lady stayed at the house for a longer time."
Yu Silian grasped the key point, "Why are you afraid of the wind when you walk?"
"My lord is afraid that Chen Guogong and Mr. Huang will send people to prevent the villagers from testifying, so they asked us to quietly come to the village to find witnesses and take them to the capital, and let the two elders of the Mo family and Mr. Han stay in the capital to wait for a few more days."
Yu Silian also knew that Chen Guogong protected the Huang family. The village was full of powerless families. Not to mention that the Chen family sent people to stop them, or that the Huang family sent people to threaten or give them some benefits. The people in the village were afraid that He will not testify. I hope Mr. Fang can deal with Huang Qisheng this time. Otherwise, letting him out will harm who knows how many people. Not to mention other people, the Mo family and those who helped the Mo family testify will all be affected. Will he take revenge?
.
Then he asked, "Has the date been set for the opening of the church?"
"When we two brothers bring the person back, you can decide the date."
After a few simple questions, Yu Silian asked Chang Hu to accompany them around the village.
Changhu accompanied the two of them to visit several homes, and then brought Li Youdi, Li Youshu, and Li Youcai to Fang's house in Jingli to prepare to testify in court.
After Changhu took the two of them away, he waited for two more days before returning to the village to inform Yu Silian and Mo Ziwan of the day when the church would be opened. Not only did he bring back the day of the church opening, but he also brought back another big news.
After hearing this, the two of them understood why Fang Jing was so concerned about the Mo family's case, because only through the Mo family's case could Huang Qisheng be convicted.
"Master Fang has found all the witnesses and physical evidence that Huang Qisheng beat his nephew to death, and is waiting to convict Huang Qisheng. But now that everything is ready, the Jingzhao Mansion has also set a time for the court trial, so I am ready. I came back to inform my wife and Miss Wanwan, but the master said there was a change."
"Chen Guogong promised Mr. Fang's younger brother, Fang Wei's biological father, that as long as Huang Qisheng could survive, he would not only find a job for him in the court, but also send her daughter to the palace."
Yu Silian sighed after hearing this. Not all parents can think about their children. For the sake of his own future, Fang Wei's father not only ignored his son who was beaten to death, but even his daughter became his dream of glory and wealth.
After listening to Chang Hu's words, I understood better why Mr. Fang wanted to investigate Wan Wan's parents' affairs quietly.
Even Fang Wei's biological father could be lured by Chen Guofu to the point where he didn't even want to avenge his son, let alone the Mo family. It was easier to suppress the Mo family than to lure Fang Wei's parents.
Yu Silian and Mo Ziwan came to Beijing with Chang Hu, and after arriving in Beijing, they still lived in the Fang family. This is why Han Shuxian told Fang Jing that Mo Ziwan wanted to come to Beijing to see with her own eyes the people who killed her parents were brought to justice. Fa, if Mo Ziwan can come, Fang Jing will naturally not refuse. She is the daughter of the person who was killed. It would be better to go to the court with her, so that everyone can know how the old and weak in this house were harmed by the Huang family, and Yu Silian will accompany When Mo Ziwan comes to Beijing, he can be taken care of on the way.
On the opening day of the trial of the case of Huang Qisheng beating Fang Wei to death, there were all witnesses and material evidence in the trial. Huang Qisheng would have been sentenced to death. However, Fang Wei's biological father appeared in court to forgive Huang Qisheng, and the Huang family He was also willing to give up a thousand taels of silver to atone for Huang Qisheng's sin. In the end, Huang Qisheng was sentenced to death for thirty years as punishment.
After Huang Qisheng was released, both the Huang family and Chen Guogong's family were very happy. But no one expected that Huang Qisheng would be taken into the Yamen again the day after he returned home after being beaten, and this time he was taken to Dali Temple.
In Dali Temple, Mo Tingyu had been waiting for Huang Qisheng's arrival. After Huang Qisheng was brought to Dali Temple, Mo Tingyu pointed at Huang Qisheng excitedly and said, "That's him!"
"I can recognize it even if it turns to ashes."
Then Mo Tingyu told the story about his son being beaten to death by him and how he led people to chase him to get back one hundred taels of silver.
If no one mentioned it again, Huang Qisheng would have completely forgotten about it. When he suddenly heard Mo Tingyu talking about beating his son to death, he was startled. Fortunately, he was still alive. He was not stupid, he knew that Fang Jing must put him to death, otherwise he would not let anyone find out the matter, and he would interrogate him directly in Dali Temple without going through Jingzhao Mansion.
Although Huang Qisheng was panicked after reacting, he knew that he could not admit it. If he did, he would definitely die. Ignoring the pain of yesterday's beating, he defended loudly: "I don't even know them, so you can't even think of accusing me of wrongdoing."
"They are talking nonsense, they are framing me, I don't know them, and I don't know anyone named Mo Cong!"
But who will listen to him? They brought him here just to question him on a routine basis. When he refused to admit it, they put him directly into the cell of Dali Temple. After he was put in, he was interrogated slowly.
After Huang Qisheng was taken away, the Huang family became even more panicked. They went directly to Dali Temple to ask for someone. However, Fang Jing had already prepared for them to make trouble. He took out Mo Tingyu's papers and asked them to stand at the gate of Dali Temple. Read it aloud.
Who would have thought a few years ago
Things will be revealed, and they were revealed so suddenly. Huang Wei's blood boiled when he heard the yamen's announcement, and he wished he could strangle Huang Qisheng to death with his own hands!
Huang Wei, who had lost all face, knew that he could not admit it now, so he pointed at Fang Jing and cursed: "Fang Jing, what grudge does my son have against you? Why do you want to harm him like this? Your nephew's biological father even forgave my son for his mistake. The Yamen has made a clear decision on this matter, what else do you want to do? Don’t think that just because you are an official of Dali Temple, you can mess with the law."
"And you are just being my uncle, why are you still holding on to this matter?"
Compared to Huang Wei's angry roar, Fang Jing was much calmer and sneered, "Mr. Huang, it's because he is old. Not only is he unable to remember things, but his ears are also deaf! What happened to your son and my nephew? Zhaofu made it clear yesterday that the Fang Wei family and your Huang family have reconciled, and this matter has nothing to do with me."
"The case being tried in Dali Temple now is about another person your son beat to death. Someone came to Dali Temple to accuse your son of beating to death a villager in Lanwan Village, Cangxi County four years ago. He not only killed people but also harmed If someone's wife dies in childbirth, leaving behind a child less than a month old and an elderly person at home, that's two lives."
After sighing, Fang Jing added: "The good son raised by Mr. Huang is really majestic. He killed three people in just a few years!"
After Fang Jing finished speaking, he looked at Huang Wei, "Did Mr. Huang hear it clearly this time? If you still haven't, I don't mind repeating it to Mr. Huang again."
