A lucky wife born again from a farm family

Iron was a military asset and had always been controlled by the imperial court. If merchants wanted to do pig iron business, they had to go to the Yamen to report.

The Su family reported it, but the reported quantity was wrong. It was only 340 kilograms, but the pig iron found was more than 1,300 kilograms, a full thousand kilograms more!

Smuggling one thousand kilograms of pig iron, according to criminal law, is enough to raid the Su family three times.

The head of the guard team almost went crazy with joy. He didn't expect to find evidence of the Su family's crimes. He hurriedly had the warehouse sealed, sent a yamen servant back to the yamen to report the news, and then went straight to the Su family with other yamen servants.

Mr. Su was at home worrying about whether he should give money to Lin Su and others to expiate their sins. When he saw the squad leader and the others rushed in, he hurriedly asked: "Why did the squad leader come suddenly? Could it be that the Lin family has already given the money to exonerate the sin?" Can my brother, my son, my mother and my son come out?"

The head guard smiled: "Mr. Su, you are not well informed. Your good son-in-law Lin Youfu has been arrested. Now we are here to arrest the men of the Su family. Come with us to the Yamen!"

"What do you mean?" Mr. Su couldn't understand it more and more. Could it be: "Lin Youfu committed other serious crimes, and he even ordered the Su family to ransack the house?"

Tuk-tuk-tuk!

Mr. Su was so angry that he poked the ground with his crutch and cursed: "Well, Lin Youfu, you didn't realize that you are an evil-doing beast!"

Then he hurriedly said to the head of the guard team: "Head of the guard team, the Su family is a good family and does not bother to associate with the Lin family. I have severed ties with the Lin family and removed the Lin Su family from the clan. The Su family has no relationship with the Lin family at all." , Please ask the head guard to take a closer look!"

"Obviously?" The guard squad leader almost died laughing: "Mr. Su, you are really good at clearing up the relationship. It's a pity that the arrest of your family today has nothing to do with the Lin family. The things your family committed are not small. Do you know who is implicating whom?"

"What do you mean?" Mr. Su was shocked: "My Su family's business is open to the public. All the children of the Su family are good, and no one commits any crime!"

Guard leader: "You said no one committed a crime just because no one committed a crime? Did you know that there are more than a thousand kilograms of pig iron hidden under the floor of your Su family's dock warehouse? It's more than a thousand kilograms. It's not an exaggeration to behead the entire family!"

Then he said: "Didn't you see that your Su family is so bold that you have forgotten about the Tong family? Do you think Ming Shaoqing killed too few of the Tong family, and your Su family wants to make up for it?"

Mr. Su's face turned pale when he heard this, and he almost fainted: "What, there is pig iron in the warehouse at Su's wharf?!"

The Su family was in the business of making iron blocks, but they only helped transport iron blocks for officials and wealthy families who could sell iron. They did not dare to sell it privately.

"It's unfair, it's unfair, the Su family didn't hide the pig iron secretly!" Mr. Su cried out in tears.

The head of the guard team didn't care and just asked the yamen servant to tie up the person: "Mr. Su, stop complaining. They've found pig iron from your warehouse. It's useless even if you shout at the yamen. Come with us to the yamen."

Dozens of government officials acted quickly and quickly tied up the men in Mr. Su's family.

But Su Da was not there.

"Where is Su Da?" asked the head of the guard team, "He is the grandson of the Su family. He is more important than the other grandsons of the Su family. He must be found."

But Su Da seemed to have disappeared from the world. The government officials searched the Su family's house, village, shop, and other courtyards, but Su Da was nowhere to be found.

"Oh, needless to say, he must have fled out of fear of crime." Magistrate Shi immediately had people close the city gate of Linhe Prefecture, seal the pier across the river, and personally led people to search the city and the pier.

After searching for a whole day and night, we finally found Su Da dressed as a fisherman on a fishing boat.

Su Da was escorted back to the government office. Magistrate Shi immediately went to the court for interrogation. After the torture, Su Da couldn't stand it anymore and he tortured them all.

The pig iron in the Su family's warehouse was indeed hidden by him.

Someone told him that the world is too chaotic now, and the wealthy people in Jiangnan are in urgent need of pig iron to make weapons for self-defense. After the Tong family was ransacked, a batch of pig iron was left behind. As long as he was brave enough to help sell it secretly to Jiangnan, he could earn tens of thousands of taels of silver.

"The man said that all the Tong family members are dead, Ming Shaoqing has also returned to the capital, and the Tong family's matter has been settled. The Tong family's case has just been concluded, and now it is the time when the government's control over iron blocks is at its peak. When you are slack, take advantage of this opportunity to quickly sell the pig iron and you will become rich."

Su Da said everything, and finally cried: "The common people have been deceived by others, and I will never dare to do it again. I beg you to spare the common people."

After saying that, he kowtowed with bang bang bang.

Magistrate Shi sneered and said, "Su Da, let alone me, even Ming Shaoqing can't help you, and begging for mercy is useless."

Then he said: "You only said that you were bewitched, but you can tell me who the person bewitched you is. Could it be that you are afraid of death and deliberately say that you are the mastermind to get away with it?"

"No, the common people didn't lie. Please don't kill me, Lord Magistrate!" Su Da thought of the Tong family's entire family being beheaded. He was so scared that he kept begging for mercy.

Mr. Su was so angry that he almost died on the spot. As he was being escorted to kneel in the courtroom, he yelled at Su: "Stop talking such nonsense, tell me the name of the person who gave you the pig iron and asked you to resell it. Where is he now?" !”

That person is the key to the Su family's crime and meritorious deeds, otherwise all the faults will be placed on Su Da, and the Su family's fate will be the same as the Tong family's.

After hearing this, Su Da quickly shut up and calmed down. After thinking about it for a moment, he gave a name and an address.

Magistrate Shi immediately sent someone to look for it, but that place was a Taoist temple and there was no one in there that Su Da said. After searching, no pig iron was found.

The people who came back told Magistrate Shi what they found out. Magistrate Shi was so angry that he had Su Da beaten up.

However, Magistrate Shi felt that Su Da was not lying. The person behind it did exist, but he had already run away, so they missed the opportunity.

We have no choice but to blame everything on Su Da. If Su Da takes the blame, the entire Su family will be ruined.

When Lin Guangtong, Lin Sushi, and Lin Yueyun heard the news in prison, they couldn't bear the shock and fainted.

Only Aunt Feng was so happy that she didn't expect that with just a few nonsense words from her, the government office would be able to investigate a major case like the Su family's private sale of pig iron.

She has done meritorious deeds, she has done meritorious deeds!

"I have made a meritorious service, I want to see the prefect, I want to get out!" Aunt Feng shouted from the prison, but unfortunately she shouted until her voice broke and she could not see the prefect Shi.

It was only after she hit the wall and threatened that she got a reply from Magistrate Shi.

The head of the guard team came to the prison and told Aunt Feng: "The prefect said that one of the children among those children is a daughter of an official family. You and your brothers are guilty of selling official relatives. Even if you have meritorious services, you will not be exempted from the crime. Be honest. Just wait and wait until February 2 next year to be beheaded."

The Chinese New Year is coming soon. No beheading will be done before the Chinese New Year or in the first month of the year. All beheading work will be postponed until after the second dragon raises its head in February.

Look, the government is so kind.
