Chapter 449: A Dutiful Daughter
“And your mule cart was impounded by the Yamen. Go to the Yamen yourself, don’t ask me.”
Wu Xingzong was stunned and remembered. , said excitedly: "Second uncle and second aunt, our family's property is all in the yamen. Now that the case is settled, we have to ask the yamen to take home the property. Otherwise, what will we eat and drink?"
Wu The second daughter-in-law's eyes flashed, and she said to Wu Xingzong: "Brother Zong, you are the eldest grandson of the family. You are the only one qualified to negotiate with the Yamen. My uncle and aunt will accompany you to get the property."
Wu Xingzong shrank, afraid to negotiate with the Yamen, but when Wu’s second daughter-in-law encouraged him, he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, let’s go get back the seized family property right now."
"Wu family members, you have to speak up. If you anger the Yamen and you are imprisoned again, don't blame me, the ward chief, for not reminding you." Village Chief Zhou reminded him responsibly. He went to see Huang Laoer's family and saw that they were very Okay, I am eating the pancakes brought by the Huang family, feeling relieved.
"Wait a minute, I!" Wu Wu clan members were afraid that Wu Xingzong and the others would anger the county government again, so they hurriedly led people to follow them.
Wu Xingzong and the others had suffered a lot in the Yamen, so they did not dare to be arrogant this time, and the Yamen had no intention of taking away the Wu family's property and asked Mr. Han to lead them to the Yamen warehouse to get the property.
It went so smoothly that Wu Er and his wife, Wu Xingzong, and Wu Xingzong, who had been gloomy as a ghost since losing his ears, were all excited.
But...
"This is the box. You can take it away after signing and fingerprinting on the booklet."
"Why is there only one box? On the day of the crime, Yang County Wei obviously took a lot of things back to the county government, just gold. There is more than one box of silver!" Wu Xingzu was the first to get angry and asked with a sullen face.
Wu’s second daughter-in-law was afraid that he would anger the officials, so she hurriedly pushed Wu Xingzong away and choked up: “Brother Zong, when your father was young, he brought home a lot of gold and silver. Our family’s wealth is It’s more than that... How can you marry a Fucheng girl with only this little thing left?”
Master Han sneered, Wu Feng’s methods of arrogance are really poor.
But it was such a cheap trick. Wu Xingzong was fooled as soon as he heard it, and said angrily: "Master Han, the amount is wrong. My family's wealth is more than this. Where has the rest gone? Take it out quickly, otherwise , otherwise..."
"What else? Let me tell you, the Wu family only has so much wealth left, and the Yamen has not left a penny." Master Han directly threw a list to them: "This is the list recorded when you searched your home. I Look.”
Wu Xingzong He hurriedly picked it up, looked at the things in the box, and quickly shouted: "No, it doesn't match the list... The list said that there were sixteen pieces of gold the size of a finger, but now There are only five pieces of gold left!”
“There is also silver. , thirty-four kilograms, thirty-four kilograms, now only the bottom of the box is left, and the top is only a hundred taels of silver... Many jewelry, two jade bracelets, a jade stone, two land deeds, and a room are gone. The deed of the shop is also missing..."
"Go Where are all these things? You dare to say that you don’t have anything?”
This is the first time that Wu Xingzong knows that his family is so rich, but he has been working as a pawn in the Lin family’s longevity store all these years. Little fella, let anyone point your nose at you.
"Oh my God, my God, I was supposed to live the life of a young master, but now most of my family wealth is gone!"
Before I could enjoy it, my family wealth was gone. Wu Xingzong went crazy and rushed to the Yamen warehouse: "My family's wealth is inside, I want to get it back!"
Bang bang bang!
Before he even reached the door of the warehouse, he was beaten to the ground by the yamen servant.
Two long sticks were crossed on Wu Xingzong's back, holding him down.
Wu Er's daughter-in-law recommended Wu Er.
Wu Er immediately said: "Master Han, the returned family property does not match what is on the list. The yamen should provide the missing items to my family!"
Master Han sneered and pointed at the money on the ground. The list said: "Look carefully, what is written on the list."
Wu Er was stunned and hurriedly picked up the list thrown away by Wu Xingzong. He saw many red and blue lines drawn on the list. .
Master Han: "The red thread was withheld by the Yamen. One is to use it as a fine for Wu Lichang and Wu Da's crime, the other is to return the money plundered by your Wu family to the folks, and the third is for your Wu family Fees in the Yamen”
Oh, I thought I had done something bad and caused trouble to the Yamen, so I didn’t need to pay it back?
"The person who drew the blue line was taken away by your daughter Wu Xingnan." Master Han said something that caused internal strife in the Wu family: "On the tenth day of March, as soon as the government office closed the case, Wu Xingnan took Yan The family came with a letter from Mr. Wu. The letter said, "The Wu family." He will give Wu Xingnan half of his family property as a dowry. "The yamen has checked it and the letter is true."
The letter is indeed true, but it was written by Wu Li to deceive. Wu Xingnan, so that after she gets married, she can continue to be devoted to her family.
Master Han smiled: "So, if you have any dissatisfaction, go to Wu Xingnan, the Yamen is right."
The Wu family was stunned.
After a while...
"Wu Xingnan, Wu Xingnan, you are so cruel. You robbed half of the family's wealth without saying a word." Wu Xingzu laughed out loud and pointed. Wu Er and his wife said: "Daughter of filial piety, you The filial daughter we raised is like this at home, and she stabbed her own family before she left, hahahaha!”
I have to say that Grandma Huai’s teachings are useful, in terms of not treating others for themselves. , Wu Xingnan is very qualified.
After being teased by their own daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Wu’s faces were burning.
Wu Er was furious: "Unfilial daughter, the family is not good enough to her? She is treating the family like this!"
He also said: "The letter is fake. She used the fake letter to defraud the family's wealth. This is Breaking the law, I want to report it to the police!”
Master Han said: "The letter has been tested and it is true. If you are not convinced, you can go and argue with Wu Xingnan yourself, but if you continue to mess around in the yamen, you will be thrown into jail immediately!"
All the Wu family members Afraid of being imprisoned, he immediately became silent after hearing this.
"Mine, this box belongs to my eldest family member, not the second family member!" Wu Xingzong suddenly became smart and said to Mr. Han: "Master Han, you have to make the decision for me, and you can't let it happen. Their second wife took away my eldest brother’s share of the property!”
But he was already smart.
As soon as these words came out, Wu Er’s daughter-in-law immediately rushed towards the box, guarded it tightly, and said to Wu Er: “His father, hurry up and sign and fingerprint, let’s go home.”
“Yes. That's right." Wu Er took advantage of Wu Xingzong being held down and hurriedly signed and fingerprinted.
Wu’s second daughter-in-law glanced at Wu Xingzong, who was yelling, and said to Mr. Han: "Master Han, my eldest nephew didn’t mean to rush into the Yamen warehouse. This child was just impulsive. Please give the Yamen a wide berth. , don’t catch him and go to jail.”
Everyone present: “…”
The elder of the Wu clan: "..."
As expected of Wu Xingnan's mother, she is truly the same evil-minded person!
Master Han sneered, took ten taels of silver directly from the box, and said: "Wu Xingzong tried to break into the Yamen warehouse and was fined ten taels of silver."
After that, he fired them on the spot. Fine documents.
The plan failed and she lost an extra ten taels of silver. Wu's second daughter-in-law's face turned dark.
The elder of the Wu clan almost died on the spot. He jumped and cursed: "Shut up, if you make trouble again, you will be expelled from the clan immediately!"
He hurriedly went to apologize to Master Han.
Master Han only reminded: "Elders of the five Wu clans, your Wu village must take good care of the people and don't let them commit crimes again."
"Yes, yes, yes, don't worry, Yamen." The Wu Wu clan elder bent down and said. He was less than sixty years old, but he was as old as an octogenarian.
Master Han didn’t say any harsh words anymore and talked about the matter of collecting the corpses: "The government has reviewed the corpses and there is no need for another autopsy. You can go to Yizhuang today to take the corpses of the Wu family and his son back for burial. .”
