Chapter 104 Arrest
Chapter 104 Arrest
Hearing what Gu Lang said, Chen Xing's eyes showed a bit of confusion, and he asked with some doubts, "What do you mean?"
Gu Lang looked at Chen Xing, who had a bit of doubt on his face, and then at the maid who was staring at them tremblingly, as if watching their reaction, he slightly hooked the corners of his lips, and said in a low voice: "Of course, Let those who have done wrong, pay the corresponding price."
Hearing this, the confusion in Chen Xing's eyes became stronger and stronger, as if he still didn't quite understand what Gu Lang meant.
Gu Lang didn't intend to continue explaining, he slowly came to the maidservant, and said softly: "We saved you, now we need your help, I wonder if you would like it?"
Cui'er stared at the man in front of her. She knew this man. When she was in the Chen family, she heard other people laughing at this man, and she knew that he almost became their son-in-law.
But in the mouths of those people, this man is just a worthless down and out. She never knew that he would give people such a great sense of oppression.Cui'er hesitated, but finally nodded, "My lord, since you saved me, I will naturally listen to you."
Seeing that the maid named Cui'er was thinking so much and didn't waste his time, Gu Lang curled his lips in satisfaction, then turned his head to look at Chen Xing behind him, and said calmly: "Tomorrow I will go to the yamen to deliver the paper."
Chen Xing was a little surprised when he heard the words, but soon realized that they had no background here, and if they wanted to punish the Chen family, they could only go through this way.So, he looked at the man in front of him and nodded, but then said uneasy: "Be careful yourself."
Gu Lang looked at Chen Xing's worried expression, nodded slightly, and said softly, "I will, don't worry."
Tweety listened to their conversation, something flashed in her eyes quickly, but it quickly disappeared from her eyes again.
On the second day, when the sun was rising and people were coming and going on the street, the huge grievance drum at the gate of the yamen was sounded.
The thin man in green clothes attracted the attention of passers-by, who stared at him curiously, wanting to know what he had done, and then complained so eagerly.
Someone who knew his identity recognized him, gave a soft 'huh', and then murmured in his heart, wondering if he came here for the sake of the shop.He stopped involuntarily, wanting to find out his secrets, and at the same time laughed at his overreaching in his heart. In the hearts of passers-by, if this little boss wanted to compete with the Chen family, it would be tantamount to trying to block the car with his arms, and to stop the Chen family. Self-restraint.
Under all kinds of gazes, Gu Lang stood there with his waist straight, until the master in the yamen came out, and seeing that it was him who was beating the drum, he asked in surprise, "Boss Gu, what do you want?" Sue what?"
Gu Lang's expression was clear, and his voice was clear. Although it was not loud, it was loud enough for a few passers-by who were not far away to hear the excitement, and said slowly: "My restaurant has been in disaster for several days, and it was almost burned down a few days ago. Now we have evidence that it was Miss Chen Jiasi, Chen Linger, who burned our shop that day."
When he said this, the master hadn't expressed anything yet, but the people below who were listening to the gossip immediately became excited.
"Is he crazy? The Fourth Miss of the Chen family is a girl, how could she set fire to their shop?"
"That's right, I think it's because of what the Chen family did to his family, that's why he wants to retaliate now, so he casually bites someone out."
"He is really not smart. Such a low-level method of framing is simply stupid."
"I heard that he is still a scholar, and his actions like this are simply embarrassing to the scholar."
Regarding the following discussion, Gu Lang turned a deaf ear to it, as if he didn't hear it, just looked at the master in front of him, and continued: "I have written the pleadings, I wonder if the master can take it?"
When the master heard his words, he just recovered from the shock just now, and then he took a deep look at him, and then said: "Do you know what it means to beat this drum?"
Gu Lang hooked his lips, and on that handsome face, there appeared a bit of an unchanging expression that was before the landslide, and he said firmly: "Of course I know. If you are wronged, you can beat the drum, and the local parents and masters will accept it." If the facts of the case are true, the perpetrator will be punished, and the person who played the drum will be exempted from responsibility. If there is any deviation in the case, or if it is suspected of fooling the parents and officials, the person who played the drum will give thirty slaps and pay the defendant money as compensation. just."
The master listened to what he said, with a clear and logical expression, and his expression was a little tangled, but then he thought of the county magistrate's different attitude towards him, so he didn't say anything more, but looked at him with complicated eyes, "Since that's the case , we have closed the case, and the young master will come in with me."
After finishing speaking, the master led the way into the yamen, Gu Lang looked at his back and stepped into the tall yamen.
The people who were watching the excitement outside, seeing his back when he went in, exploded again.
"He actually went in. Isn't he afraid of the thirty rods? I can see that his body can't support twenty rods at all."
"Don't worry about him. He has done this to frame others. Even if he is beaten to death, he deserves it. What a pity."
"It's all the fault of the Chen family. If they hadn't been pushed so hard, he probably wouldn't have done it."
"It's a pity, when do you think he will be kicked out by the official?"
While everyone was discussing, they saw that they had just entered the yamen of two people, and a small group of people ran out. Judging by the clothes, they should be the couple in charge of arresting people and bringing them back for trial.
Seeing this, the people who were still laughing at Gu Lang just now were stunned immediately, and even their tone of voice became unstable, "No, Master Guan really sent someone to arrest him?"
"If we're not mistaken, it should be like this, yes."
Chen House.
Mrs. Chen listened to the servant's report with a headache, and thought of Chen Ling'er's spoiled temper, she rubbed her forehead in pain.
Mrs. Chen indulged Chen Linger a little because of Master Chen's orders and because of her pity for Chen Linger's disfigurement, but she didn't know why Chen Linger had become more tempered now, not only was the maid in her yard not serving her well She will be whipped, and even if the other servants in the yard make her feel a little bit uncomfortable, she will take revenge.
Recently, it has become even more severe, and two of the maids in her yard have been beaten and disabled.Now that medical expenses are trivial, I am afraid that when the reputation spreads to the Zhao family, the second son of the Zhao family will not want such a noble concubine.
Just when Mrs. Chen was thinking about how she was going to talk to Chen Linger, asking her to get over her irritable temper, she heard a servant girl rushing in from outside, "Madam, don't you?" alright."
Mrs. Chen frowned, and the big maid next to her immediately scolded: "You maid, who taught you manners, what's wrong? I want you to yell here!"
The servant girl's face was full of anxiety, she couldn't care about anything at this time, she just looked at Mrs. Chen and said loudly: "Madam, I don't know what happened just now, but suddenly a team of officials ran in and took away the young lady indiscriminately." .”
"What did you say!?" Mrs. Chen didn't care about maintaining the reservedness of everyone's wife, she stood up from where she was doing, looked at the maid in front of her with wide eyes, and said impatiently: "How dare they! Why don't other people stop me?"
"The group of officials took the county magistrate's letter and said that anyone in the mansion dared to stop them, and they all regarded them as accomplices."
"Trash, it's all trash!" Mrs. Chen was so angry that she couldn't choose what to say, but then she forced herself to calm down again. She looked at the nanny next to her and ordered repeatedly: "Let someone tell the master to help me prepare the carriage. , I want to change clothes and go to the yamen to see why they took my daughter away. If my daughter's reputation is ruined because of this, I will see how they will compensate."
"Yes."
Mammy responded, not daring to say a word.
Mrs. Chen walked towards the dressing room at the same time, thinking about the reason why Chen Linger was taken away by the government this time. Suddenly, the words of the housekeeper a few days ago flashed through her mind, "Miss went out today, and she was late. When I came back, the skirt was still dirty when I came back, and I didn't know what I did. '
Recalling this point, Mrs. Chen's heart was pounding, and she had a bad premonition.
Chen Xing did not expect the speed of the government to be so fast. After Gu Lang beat the drum to complain, explained the reason, and showed his own evidence, the government sent someone to arrest Chen Ling'er, and informed them that the families of the victims should go to the government office together Watch the interrogation.
Chen Xing agreed without saying a word, and hurriedly handed over the business of the store to Qiu Shi and the others, and then took Qiu Jiu to the Yamen together.
When he came to the yamen, he found that apart from Gu Lang who was standing upright and very eye-catching, Mrs. Chen and Master Chen were also here.
When Mrs. Chen saw Chen Xing coming in, her eyes seemed to be poisoned, as if she wanted to pounce on him and eat him.But she didn't know what she was worried about, she just stared at him from a distance, and didn't seem to do anything else.
Chen Xing was taken aback by her sinister eyes, then silently moved to Gu Lang's side, and whispered, "Why are they here?"
Although Chen Xing didn't say 'they' clearly, it was obvious that Gu Lang had guessed it. He glanced lightly at the two people who were staring at them angrily, hooked the corners of his lips, and said in a good mood: " It is not the fault of the son not to teach the father, now that Chen Linger has done such a thing, it is normal for them to come here."
Chen Xing felt that what Gu Lang said made sense, so he nodded, and then thought of the target of today's criticism, feeling a little complicated in his heart.But soon, he thought of what they had collected about Chen Linger, and he couldn't sympathize with her.
Just as Chen Xing was thinking wildly, the magistrate came in from behind, glanced at the people in the hall, slapped the gavel, and said loudly: "The plaintiff and the defendant's family members are here, now bring the defendant Chen Ling'er up."
It's only been a few hours, Chen Ling'er's frightened expression has not stopped, and she still looks pale at this moment.It's just that this paleness disappeared when he saw Gu Lang and Chen Xing beside him.Even though he was pulled by the official, he still wanted to pounce on him, his cheeks flushed with excitement, and he said angrily, "Why are you doing this to me?"
Gu Lang looked at the crazy Chen Ling'er, the expression on his face didn't change at all, he just said softly: "Don't you know why?"
Chen Linger was stunned for a moment.
