Chapter 205
A few days later, a big incident broke out in Linfu.
The Guan family, which has been prosperous in the city in the past few years, was broken into by a group of officials yesterday and arrested the old couple of the Guan family and a group of clan members.
It was said at the scene that people from many places armed themselves with weapons and confronted the officials. Unfortunately, they were just a mob. They were all knocked to the ground with three punches and two kicks, and were also arrested together.
As soon as the Guan family was captured, the local people immediately divided into two groups.
A group of people were beating gongs and drums happily. These were the common people who were usually oppressed by the Guan family, or people related to the Guan family. Everyone was shouting that God has eyes.
Another group of people were shrinking and did not dare to come forward for the time being. Some people went to inquire for information, but after they came back, their faces became more and more ugly, they stayed behind closed doors and even ran away overnight.
If the Guan family is arrested, that is definitely a big deal.
Originally, the Guan family was considered a wealthy family in the local area. Although the eldest son of Guan was not well-known in his studies before, he was rich and good at work, and had many friends from all walks of life. Later, he talked about a good family, and it was said that she was a concubine from a high-ranking family. Although she is a concubine, for a family like theirs, she is a real noblewoman in the capital.
With this level of support, Guan's eldest son became more and more proud, and even went to Beijing with his younger brother to take the exam. In the end, it was sad that Guan's eldest son, who had never been famous for his talent, won the Jinshi, but the second son who studied diligently died.
Now that the Guan family has been arrested, many things have been revealed through the mouths of some people.
The truth was revealed and the people were in an uproar.
It turned out that the eldest son of Guan had never passed the Jinshi examination at all, and even his previous status as a judicial officer was based on bribery of the invigilator to cheat.
The person who really won the Jinshi was the second son of the Guan family, but he was killed on the way.
The person who killed him was Guan's eldest son.
Now the bones of the second son of the Guan family have been dug up again, and the dark bones indicate that he was poisoned.
Guan's eldest son poisoned his younger brother and assumed his younger brother's status as a Jinshi. After some manipulation, he was released from the official position of a county magistrate.
The Guan family was afraid that their youngest daughter-in-law would know about this, so they divorced her and returned to her parents' home, and kept humiliating her with vicious words. As expected, the youngest daughter-in-law, Luo Shi, passed away not long after giving birth to the child.
From this moment on, the Guan family began to tremble.
As soon as the incident broke out, the people cursed.
Some people are in disbelief, some are dumbfounded, some are yelling, and some are doubtful.
Even if he is partial, he cannot let his eldest son kill his second son, right?
This is no longer a matter of partiality.
Sure enough, after the incident broke out, an insider came out.
The Guan family's youngest son is not the biological flesh and blood of the two couples at all.
After this man released the news, he was quickly taken away by the county government officials.
This person went to the lobby and discovered that the person sitting in the lobby was not their magistrate.
Come to think of it, the county magistrate has always been in collusion with the Guan family, so how could he be the one to interrogate him? Moreover, judging from the color of his official uniform, he must be a high-ranking official.
Sitting in the lobby was none other than Chang Maozhi. He lowered his head and looked at the people kneeling below. He first said a few words of comfort, and then explained that he had come to investigate the matter under the orders of the Holy One, and asked him not to have any scruples. ,be honest.
The man lowered his head and told the whole story.
It turns out that these Guan brothers are not the biological brothers of the same mother-in-law, but they are still related.
This couple from the Guan family were the aunts and uncles of the second son of the Guan family. Something happened to their parents' family that year, and both parents died tragically. Only the child's bones and blood were left, so the couple hurriedly ran to take the child back.
But they are not doing it just for family affection, but because of money.
The Guan family's mother-in-law had quite a lot of money. After the death of her family, the Guan family took her nephew back and also included all the family property in her pocket.
When this old lady of the Guan family was a girl, she was restless. Her parents, angry that she had run away with a rogue, got seriously ill and frankly disowned her as their daughter. Later, a family died tragically, but I don’t know if it had anything to do with her.
Chang Maozhi nodded, "That makes sense."
From visiting the people around them these days, we can also know that the Guan family couple has completely different attitudes towards their two sons. He dotes on his eldest son very much and spends money whenever he wants. However, he was very strict with his second son. Many people said that the second son of the Guan family did not have many clothes. Even if he did have clothes, they were all those worn by his older brother.
"This Guan family couple is really vicious!"
Let's not mention the possibility that they murdered the second son's biological parents and family, but they said that since they took all the family property, they still treated the child so harshly, and even gave him a few acres of thin farmland and a shabby house after they got married. You can know what kind of humanity this couple is.
"Master Qingtian, you must avenge them!"
"Let me ask you, how do you know these things?"
"The villain is not a good person. When we were young, we were good friends with Na Guan Shengchun, but later we parted ways due to trivial matters. There is indeed a discord between the two of us, and we have not been in contact with each other for a long time, but the villain does not dare to frame these things. The great master will know it once he interrogates."
During the ensuing interrogation, the Guan family couple couldn't stand the torture, and they revealed everything. The old incident was just as the man said. The old wife of the Guan family eloped with someone, but couldn't bear the hardship and returned to her parents' home.
For the sake of their young children, the parents finally relented and prepared to buy some property for them. Unexpectedly, this ungrateful couple actually murdered the whole family, robbed a lot of property, and decorated themselves as rich people. Return home.
No one suspected it now, but they didn't expect that there was a little nephew at home.
The two could only take away all the people and property, and treated their nephew harshly since childhood. And it was really not them who killed their nephew. They had committed that big case back then, but the two of them had been very cautious over the years and did not dare to make any mistakes again. But they didn't expect their son to be as vicious-hearted as they were, and he even married a wife who didn't even care about human life.
Together with her husband, she murdered her brother-in-law, and then assumed the official position by pretending to be someone else's. It was all done by her daughter-in-law, Mrs. Lin.
It can be said that a family is not a beast that does not enter a family.
