"Zou Hai, you committed a heinous crime by buying a murderer, kidnapping someone to cause death, buying and selling household registration, and defrauding a good person into a good marriage. You will be punished for several crimes at the same time. You will be sentenced to be chopped in half. You will be executed at a later date!"

After County Magistrate Xu finished speaking, he was stunned and was able to convict Zou Hai.

In fact, Zou Hai committed more than just these crimes. He also helped Zou County Cheng do many shady things. At least half of those evil things were life-threatening lawsuits. However, due to the lack of evidence for these evil deeds, the county government had no choice but to give up and use conclusive evidence to convict Zou Hai.

As for choosing a day to interrogate and kill, it is because many of the cases Zou Hai committed are related to Zou Youlian, and he is an important witness. He needs to be escorted to Dali Temple in the capital with Zou Youlian. After the water bandit case is over, they can interrogate and kill him together.

Zou Hai had long known that he would be sentenced to death, and he was not afraid.

But his wife and children hated him deeply and yelled at him in court: "You bastard, you have caused misery to my whole family. You are talking about a young man who has a family of farming and studying. His great-grandfather came from Hushan." You went out of the house, and you returned to your hometown on the orders of your great-grandfather. Ha! The excuse is quite good, but my family is also blind, so I believed you, and now you have harmed all my Bai family. "

"Although our Bai family is not a reputable family, it is a clean family for generations. There is no thief or murderer. Now the reputation of the entire Bai family has been ruined by you. You are a harmful piece of shit. I am a ghost." I won't let you go!" Bai is Zou Hai's daughter-in-law in Hushan Mansion in Jianghuai. Because of Zou Hai's incident, her Bai family has become the laughing stock of Hushan Mansion. When the mother and son were escorted out of Hushan Mansion, they were After seeing the excitement along the way, I was really embarrassed.

Bai's two sons were kneeling beside her, too frightened to speak.

As soon as Mrs. Bai finished speaking, Mrs. Wu from Pingning Mansion in Zhongzhou began to cry and curse: "You are pretty good, but you don't know what this beast did to us, mother and daughter? Do you think he can see if I can give birth to a child?" After giving birth to his son, he had long wanted to abandon us, mother and daughter. He didn’t even go back to see us during the chaos in Zhongzhou... I have been like a widow for so many years, having to shoulder everything at home, Pingning Mansion When I was surrounded by victims asking for food, I was so scared that I didn’t dare to sleep at night, for fear that something would happen and my family would be in trouble!”

Then he pointed at Zhang Yan'er and said: "When we, mother and daughter, are worried all day long, that beast must be holding his little wife happily!"

Zhang Yan'er cried angrily when she heard this, pointed at Zou Hai and said: "Do you think I haven't been harmed by him? I have been harmed by him. After six years of marriage to him, he went home three or four times a year. I It’s worse than being a widow, and the whole Yujiang County people laughed at her and said she was his concubine.”

When Zou Hai heard the abuse from several of his daughters-in-law, he just sneered and said, "Although I don't go home very often, I don't give you anything less. You eat my food and drink from me. Now that you see me suffer, you think Don't think about using the excuse of being defrauded to get away with it. If you want to die, then die together. When we go underground, I will have plenty of time to accompany you, so you don't have to complain anymore!"

After hearing this, several of Zou Hai's daughters-in-law became even more angry and cursed. Magistrate Xu was afraid that Ming Shaoqing, who was listening in the hall, would be angry, so he slapped the gavel and shouted loudly: "Silence, silence!"

This is a courtroom, not a vegetable market. Why are we making such a fuss?

Ming Shaoqing wore an ironed official uniform with no wrinkles. He sat upright without appearing stiff. His young face was calm and calm, and he had the calmness of a noble family member. After noticing that Magistrate Xu was looking in his direction, he said to Magistrate Xu: "This man will be cut in half without any complaint."

Even his wife and children can utter cruel words. To such a degree of evil, it would not be an exaggeration to sentence him to Lingchi.

Magistrate Xu breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and continued to pronounce the sentence on Zou Hai's wife and children: "Zou Hai is a slave. Although you were deceived into marriage, the son born to him is the son of a slave. He needs to be paid Slave status.”

After hearing this, Mrs. Bai and Mrs. Wu started to quarrel again and cried: "Sir, we were deceived into marriage. We didn't know that Zou Hai was a slave and gave birth to a child. I hope you will show your favor because we were deceived." , let the children go."

Zou Hai's wife and children were indeed unjustly accused, but Da Chu used heavy codes and a continuous sitting system. Historically, one person committed a crime and the whole family was punished. County Magistrate Xu could only sentence all Zou Hai's children to be consigned to slavery.

As for the several daughters-in-law, on the grounds that they were deceived into marriage, he allowed them to reconcile with Zou Hai.

When Zhang Yan'er heard this, she finally let go of her worries that had been brewing for more than ten days. She was so happy that she burst into tears in the audience.

Because their children were consigned to slavery, Mrs. Bai and Ms. Wu wanted to make trouble again, but Ms. Ying, who had been silent, whispered to them: "You don't have to panic. The children have been consigned to slavery. We can spend money." Buy them back, then go to the Yamen to remove their slave status and add them to their natal family's household registration, making them good citizens."

He added: "My mother's family is quite wealthy. If you don't have any money, I can help you. I just ask you to stop making trouble. If you make too much trouble in the court, no one can get rid of it."

After hearing this, Mr. Bai and Mr. Wu stopped making trouble.

After Zou Hai was sentenced, Wan Lifang's family was also taken to court.

Wan Lifang had already confessed a long time ago, but it was true that he, along with Boss Yang and others, kidnapped Gu Yumei and caused the death of Gu Yumei. Should he be sentenced to beheading directly or be executed at noon tomorrow?

Wan Lifang was stunned. After he came to his senses, he cried and said: "Sir, the student has confessed honestly, why should we sentence the student to death? The student is not convinced, not convinced!"

With a bang, Luo Wu held a wooden stick in his hand and hit Wanli Fang on the body. Wanli Fang screamed. After being hurt, he did not dare to make any more noise, but he still cried and said that he was wronged.

Gu Dafu's family was listening in the court, and when he heard this, he cursed: "You little beast, what can you do to be wronged? My sister Mei's life was taken away by you, shouldn't you pay for it with your life? You still want to kill me?" Brother and sister Lu Shuiwa, you are no better than a beast. If you are not sentenced to death, you will definitely kill people again in the future."

In order to survive, Wan Lifang kowtowed to Gu Dafu's family: "Father-in-law, my son-in-law knows that I was wrong. You are so noble, please spare me."

"Shut up, shut up!" Gu Dafu was furious, but also disgusted by Wan Lifang: "Who is your father-in-law? My sister Mei is innocent and has not married a beast like you."

When County Magistrate Xu saw that Wan Lifang still dared to cause trouble, he asked Luo Wu to beat him more than ten times and stuff Wan Lifang's mouth with a linen ball, which made him become honest.

"Wan Songwen, as a scholar, you were favored by the imperial court, but you failed to manage your family well, causing many jokes in your family, and even raising a murderer. According to the law, I will deprive you of your reputation as a scholar, and your whole family will be exiled to the northwest for eternity. Return home!”

When Wan Xiucai heard this, he knelt down with a plop and fainted completely.

Ni refused to accept the offer and wanted to cry out for mercy, but the officer blocked her mouth early.

Wanli was completely frightened and was dragged down by the government officials before he could speak.
