Daily Life of Jiang Liuniang

   Chapter 478

   "Girl, girl!" Yayin, who had shaved his beard, ran in from outside the courtyard, looking like a snarling monkey, "Liu girl, great news!"

  The four sisters in Dicui Hall put down their brushes at the same time, Jiang Liu said, "Tell me!"

   "The An and Meng families have been convicted. According to their guilt, they should have been linked to the nine clans, but long live the grace, only the four clans will be destroyed." Yayin replied.

   Jiang Liu asked, "Is there any other news?"

   Ya Yin shook his head, "Not yet."

After    Ya retreated, the little sisters of the Jiang family looked at each other, and Jiang Liu, who didn't read enough, asked in a low voice, "Long live, which four clans do you want to destroy?"

Jiang Mujin and Jiang Muzheng both looked at Jiang Muyan, and Jiang Muyan explained, "According to the criminal law of my court, 'nine clans' refer to the fourth family of the father, the third family of the mother, and the second family of the wife. These four clans refer to the fourth family of the father, Namely: the whole family of the offender; the whole family of his married aunt and his aunt's son; the whole family of his married sister and nephew; the whole family of his married daughter and grandson."

  The four sisters were silent for a moment, and Jiang Muzheng said, "This is the first time that such a severe punishment has been imposed since Wanxi ascended the throne six years ago."

  The punishment is heavier than that of the whole family, and the families of An and Meng, as well as their relatives, will be beheaded. Young or old, male or female...

Whether he wanted to appease the sisters or to convince himself, Jiang Muyan said loudly, "During the Warring States Period, Shang Yang, the leader of the left concubine of Qin State, once said: 'Severe punishment is associated with a crime, so the people will not dare to try. The people will not dare to try, so there is no punishment. also.'"

   Jiang stayed a little bit, "Sister is right."

"that is!"

   "It makes sense!" After the four Jiang sisters finished speaking, they fell silent again. After a long while, Jiang Mujin asked in a low voice, "This time... how many people have to be killed? Will something happen to the Wang family?"

   Jiang Muyan shook her head vigorously, "It must be all right! Because my second uncle has divorced his wife and has nothing to do with the Meng family. Right, sixth sister?"

  How many people have to be killed? Will the Wang family be implicated? These issues will have to wait for the three divisions to make a list of beheadings before they can know. However, Jiang Liu felt that the Wang family should be fine, "Our eldest uncle is the director of the Imperial Academy, and the second uncle is the head of the Qingjin Academy. They are both highly respected scholars and should not be implicated."

   Jiang Muzheng nodded, "It should be fine, don't worry."

   Soon, there were earth-shattering cries from outside, the four sisters of the Jiang family looked out, and Xiao Shuqiu ran in and said, "Girls, the Meng family has all been taken away by the officials."

  The official sent people to take people, it should be that the imperial decree has been passed down. Jiang Muyan was worried about her grandmother's family, and immediately sent someone to Shengpingfang to inquire about the news. The people sent out soon returned the news: Wang Wenqiao, the second uncle of the Wang family, and his two daughters and one son, were all arrested. Fortunately, they were not arrested in Jingzhao Mansion, but in the prison of Xicheng Bingma Si.

   Jiang Liu persuaded her sister while wiping her tears, "Don't panic, my sister, Daddy must have made arrangements, and the second uncle's family will be fine."

  In the old house of the Wang family, Mrs. Kong, the wife of Wang Fangyu, folded her hands together and worshipped the gods and Buddhas in the four directions, "Bless the Buddha, bless the Bodhisattva, bless the Tathagata... Officials must never come, never come..."

  My son was arrested, and Mrs. Wang was so anxious, "Quick, arrange the carriage and horse, I'm going to Huijiafang!"

  Wang Fangyu hurriedly discouraged, "Mother, no. We go to Huijiafang at this time will only attract attention, but it will make it difficult for my brother-in-law to mediate and intercede for the second brother."

Kong also persuaded, "Yes, mother. Since my brother-in-law sent a letter to the second brother early to ask him to divorce his wife, it means that he had expected this day. Something will happen."

   "Everyone went to the prison, and you said nothing happened!" Madam Wang was so angry that she shook off her daughter-in-law's arm and walked out, "Come on, prepare the car!"

"Mother!" Wang Fangyu knelt down in front of his mother's clothes and persuaded hard, "My second brother and the children were arrested, and I was as anxious as my mother. My brother-in-law has been in Jingzhao Mansion, so you went to Huijiafang. It doesn't help either."

"Yes, mother, my brother-in-law must have spent a lot of time picking us out from the company. You're going to Huijiafang right now, aren't you giving a head to the censor? If the censors read our book, I'm afraid we all have to be arrested and our property will be confiscated. Even if mother doesn't think about herself, she will also care for your two eldest grandchildren..."

   Seeing that his wife was talking more and more outrageous, Wang Fangyu glared at her and told her to shut up. Although Kong's mouth was closed, he did not let go of his mother-in-law's hand.

Seeing that his mother had to go, Wang Fangyu had to coax and persuade him, "Mom, don't worry, I'll wait outside the Jingzhao Mansion. As soon as my brother-in-law comes out, I'll go up and ask how I can save my second brother and his wife. three children."

Madam Wang's expression softened a bit, and she urged, "Go quickly, you must rescue your second brother and the children as soon as possible. It's best not to let them spend the night in the prison, the place is heavy and will Destroying Yangshou."

   Mr. Kong muttered, "Look at what you said, my brother has been in prison for more than two years, isn't he still fine."

   Mrs. Wang was extremely angry, pointed at her eldest daughter-in-law and scolded, "You can tell your conscience, how much money your father took from my Wang family to make up for Kong Neng in the past two years to make Kong Neng live comfortably in prison!"

Kong shi lowered his head and dared not speak, but he was very unconvinced. He secretly thought that it was because you chose a good son-in-law for your sister. My brother was locked in the Xicheng prison. If Jiang Feng was willing to speak for my brother, I would Does Dad need to send money in? ! Besides, the money sent in didn't go into the pockets of your good son-in-law!

The Meng family's ancestral home is Quanzhou, and the four families who killed their father's family were only implicated in Beijing by Wang Wenqiao's family, but the Anjia family, whose ancestral home was in Kang'an, was different. An Yunchang committed a crime and was implicated in as many as seven families. There were more than 100 people locked up in Ancheng, and this was not counting the servants of various families who were imprisoned together. In addition, six officials of the Ministry of Punishment, Meng Huizhou and An Yunchang, who worked together to collect money to reduce crimes were also arrested. All of a sudden, the yamen in the capital were full of people, and the yamen was full of people. The relatives of the arrested people ran around and made a mess.

   Seeing this scene, the people of Kang'an City were also in danger because of the first major sinner in Zhulian, the first village in decades, and did not dare to speak aloud. After the serious crimes committed by An Yunchang and Meng Huizhou were posted outside the yamen, and the yacha recited it three times, everyone understood why the An and Meng families were sentenced to capital punishment.

   It turns out that An Yunchang set the fire in the Ministry of Punishment back then!

  It turns out that Jiang Erye's father, Jiang Mian, was killed by Meng Huizhou and framed it by him! Killing Jiang Mian and deducting the dung pot is not the end. The Meng family also used witchcraft to harm the Jiang family. They wanted the Jiang family to die and cut off their children and grandchildren!

   It turns out that Rongri, the master of Hanshan Temple, is actually a demon!

   These people are so sinful that they will die. Then, what happened to the Jiang family is really sighing, and the second master of Jiang is really... distressed and admired.

  So, when Jiang Erye came out of Jingzhao Mansion in twilight, he found that the people surrounding Jingzhao Mansion, who had not dispersed, looked at him with very... gentle eyes.

   Jiang Erye passed over these old and weak women and children, and looked at Wang Fangyu and others who were shaking their hands at him with their necks stretched out of the crowd. He felt a little irritable, so he simply raised his hand to support his forehead and shook his body.

   Jiang Bao and Jiang Hou'er immediately stepped forward to hold his arm, "Second Master, what's the matter with you?"

   "...Dizzy and swollen, I'm afraid I'm suffering from the heat."

   I haven't counted the volts yet, and the second master is suffering from heat stroke? Jiang Bao was stunned for a moment, but Jiang Hou'er immediately shouted, "Quick, drive the carriage over, the second master is suffering from the heat, dizzy and nauseated, and can't walk!"

  Jiang Bao also reacted and greeted, "Aunts, sisters-in-law, and girls, please let me go. My second master is suffering from the heat, so he must go back to the house for medical treatment immediately."

   "Second Master, you're exhausted, hurry up, hurry up."

   "Second Master, there are a lot of mung beans at the little lady's house, so I'll go get them and bring them to the house."

   "Shanhetang's golden man is the best at managing wind, cold, heat and dampness, so the old lady will invite him to your house!"

  “…”

  Wang Fangyu and the others watched Jiang Er's carriage surrounded by the crowd and went away, stomping their feet and staring in a hurry.
