    "We only sell singing here, not our bodies. Old lady, please don't slander us! Let me go in and send a message to your daughter." After Yuan Gui said that, he had to go find Sister Xia.

    "I will never see anyone from the Jiang family again until I die!" Sister Xia said to Yuan Gui, "Go and tell my mother that I don't want to see her. I am no longer her daughter, let her go back. Back then.  My parents were greedy for money and sold me, but today they are looking for me to go back. I hate them so much! I don¡¯t want to live that poor life anymore.¡±

    When the beautifully dressed Xia heard that her mother was looking for her, she immediately sank her face and said she was not there.  Sister Xia is used to living a romantic life of luxury and wine, and she no longer wants to live a regular and poor life.

    "Your daughter said that she will never see you Chiang family again! She is no longer your daughter. She doesn't want to see you at all. Back then, you and your wife sold your daughter for money, causing her  She was reduced to a prostitute, and now she is resentful of you. Moreover, she lives a good life here and never wants to go back to your poor family to live in poverty again!" Yuan Gui said to Mrs. Zhao.

    "Son, it's really embarrassing for your sister to make a living in a song and dance hall now. Look, what should we do?" Zhao had no choice but to discuss it with her son Jiang Cheng angrily.

    "I'm going to see my sister. If she is willing to go home with us, let's do it; if she is not willing, I will take her home and see which grandson dares to stop her!" Jiang Cheng has practiced martial arts with his father since he was a child.  The fierce temperament immediately became furious and went straight to find his sister.  When Jiang Cheng saw Sister Xia, he didn't allow anyone to stop her, so he grabbed Sister Xia and dragged her out.

    "What a outrage! Robbing people in broad daylight!" Yuan Gui and his wife were furious.  One person and one hand held Sister Xia firmly.

    "You guys let me go, or else, be careful with my fists!"

    Although Yuan Gui and his wife were a little scared, they were unwilling to let go.

    Jiang Cheng stepped forward and punched Yuan Gui twice in his face, until his nose and mouth were bleeding and his face was bruised and swollen.

    "You. Do you dare to hit someone?"

    "You're the one I'm beating! You tricked my sister into coming here, and I didn't ask you to settle the score. You actually dared to stop me from taking her away. If you dare to stop me again, be careful, I'll smash your head in!" Jiang Cheng  Very emotional.

    Although Sister Xia did not want to go home, she could not disobey her mother and brother, and she was afraid that her brother Jiang Cheng would break up Yuan Gui and his wife.  After getting into a lawsuit, she had to reluctantly return home with her mother and brother, but in her heart she still yearned for the decadent and hedonistic life with Kong Dexing.

    After Sister Xia was taken away, Yuan Gui immediately lost a money tree.  He thought to himself: I bought Sister Xia from Wu Yi with my own money. I have the right to keep Sister Xia. How could I let the Jiang family snatch her away in vain?

    So he asked someone to tell Mrs. Zhao: "I am willing to buy Sister Xia back with another ten taels of silver, and we will settle the matter privately."

    "My sister's innocence has been stained by them for nothing, and now they want to buy her back to be a singing prostitute. How can this be done? Besides, they force girls into prostitution and buy and sell people, which is against the king's law. Even if they file a lawsuit, they are not afraid of them!" Jiang Cheng  Not willing.  He firmly opposed Yuan Gui's use of money to bribe his sister again.

    Seeing that his kind words were unsuccessful, Yuan Gui threatened with evil words, saying: "I bought Sister Xia with silver, and she should return to my paradise. If you don't return Sister Xia to me, you should return the money I bought."  Sister Xia¡¯s money. This is a matter of course. If you don¡¯t agree with either of these, you have no choice but to go to the lobby of the mansion to make a decision.¡±

    "If you go to Futai, just go to Futai. Am I afraid of you?" Jiang Cheng shouted.

    Seeing that Yuan Gui¡¯s request to buy back Sister Xia¡¯s son with money was blocked, he became angry and wrote a complaint directly to the government, demanding that Zhao¡¯s mother and son return Sister Xia¡¯s son.

    Magistrate Guan Zhe and Tongzhi Oujue accepted the case.  After they investigated and verified how Sister Xia was sold, they expressed deep sympathy.

    "According to the Law of the Ming Dynasty: If you buy the children of a good family and resell them in the name of adopting a house, you will be punished with a penalty of one hundred rods and three thousand miles of exile. I think you have not committed any other serious crimes, so I will only send Sister Xia  The son is sentenced to be returned to the Jiang family and will be taken home by the Zhao family. You are not allowed to ask for ransom from the Jiang family again!" Guan Zhe pronounced the sentence in court.

    When Yuan Gui saw that he had lost the lawsuit, not only did he not get the ransom, but he also lost the money tree of Sister Xia. He lost both his life and money. He was disappointed and furious.  Where he was willing to give up, he used strong words and rude words, and cursed Ms. Zhao: "You were the one who sold your own daughter into the entertainment industry. Now you regret it. You want to take your daughter away without returning the money. You are really a shameless villain!"

    Ms. Zhao remained silent.

    Yuan Gui turned around and scolded Guan Zhe again: "Guan Guan, your trial is unfair. I originally bought Sister Xia with money. Now, without giving me a penny, I let her go home in vain. This is too unfair."  That¡¯s fair. How much money did you charge the Jiang family?¡±

    "Bold and evil"??, you bought and sold women from good families and forced them into prostitution, which is a violation of the "Great Ming Law". I didn't sentence you to a hundred punishments. Three thousand miles of exile is enough for you. How dare you roar in court today, insult my officials, left and right, and  I'll hit fifty again!  "Yuan Gui uttered obscene words, which immediately angered Guan Zhe.

    The officers on both sides were very angry when they saw that Yuan Gui had violated the king's law and had an arrogant attitude, so they beat him extremely hard with the fifty boards.

    Yuan Guizhi was beaten until his skin and flesh were bruised and bloody. He fainted and was thrown out of the Yamen.

    After Yuan Gui was pulled home by his wife, he slowly opened his eyes for a long time.  Seeing that he had lost both his life and property, and was tortured with a rod, he was angry, angry, and resentful. He fell on the bed and refused to eat or drink. He cried and cried all day long. Within a few days, he died.

    After Yuan Gui died, the Yuan family complained to the governor.  The governor sent Chen Yu and Kong Qi to the Yuan family for an autopsy. The autopsy concluded: "No abnormal circumstances of homicide were found, and the Yuan family was sentenced to bury it themselves."

    In the Ming Dynasty, beating people to death in government offices was a common thing, but this case seems to be over now.  However, no one could have imagined that this ordinary case would have unexpected consequences and cause a shocking incident.

    "Yuan Gui was beaten to death by Futai!"

    "What a God-given opportunity. This time I finally found a great opportunity to vent my anger for myself and my uncle Kong Mengqing!" As soon as he heard that Yuan Gui was beaten to death by the government, Kong Mengqing's nephew Kong Dexing immediately gloated over the misfortune.

    turn out to be.  Guan Zhe sentenced Sister Xia to the Zhao family for free, which ruined the good deeds of Kong Dexing and Sister Xia, so he began to bear a grudge against Guan Zhe.

    So, Kong Dexing went to his uncle Kong Mengqing and said, "Uncle, I will tell you about a great opportunity."

    "What opportunity?"

    "The opportunity to take revenge on the governor of Futai has come!"

    "how do I say this?"

    "Guan Zhe beat someone to death during the trial!"

    "Oh? What's going on?"

    "My nephew, I have a sweetheart named Sister Xia in the song and dance hall I don't want to. That Yuan Gui roared in court, insulted Guan Zhe, and was beaten to death by Guan Zhe!"

    "Okay! Guan Zhe. You are finally going to fall into my hands!" Kong Mengqing laughed wildly.  Kong Mengqing was already dissatisfied with Guan Zhe, and with such a delicate relationship, Kong Mengqing decided to take action personally.  Help his nephew Kong Dexing get Sister Xia back, and at the same time, take revenge on Guan Zhe of Futai.

    After Kong Mengqing lowered his head and had a secret discussion with his nephew Kong Dexing, he called his most trusted lieutenant, Jia Xiaowei, and explained this.

    Guan Zhe, Ou Jue and other officials could not have imagined that at this moment, a large net woven by Kong Mengqing, Kong Dexing and Jia Xiaowei was opening towards them

    Yuan Gui¡¯s wife was crying at home because her husband was beaten to death by the government. Suddenly, Kong Dexing hugged her from behind.

    "Who is taking advantage of the situation? Why don't you let go quickly!" She hurriedly wiped away her tears.  Stopped crying and said angrily.

    "My little brother won't come for a few days, will you forget about me?"

    Yuan Gui's wife was very surprised to see Kong Dexing suddenly appearing in her home at this time, and asked doubtfully: "God of Wealth. Now my husband has been beaten to death, and your sweetheart Sister Xia has returned home. How can you  What else are you doing here? Don¡¯t you have a crush on my sister-in-law?¡±

    "What are you talking about! Sister-in-law of the Yuan family, I have come to pay my respects to Brother Yuan. A small gift is not enough to show respect."

    "Thank you for remembering us."

    "Brother Yuan was beaten to death by Guan Zhe, a doctor in the mansion. Do you want to take revenge?"

    "I think about it, but how can I, a woman of a woman's family, win over a doctor from a mansion?"

    "Why can't you deal with him? However, the Dongchang run by my uncle can deal with him."

    "Oh. If I can sue Guan Zhe, it can be regarded as avenging my husband who died. Then what should I do?"

    "You go to Dongchang to complain, and Dongchang will naturally redress your grievances and punish Guan Zhe, who beat your husband to death."

    "How can I redress my grievances when I get to Dongchang?"

    "First, you have to deny that Mrs. Zhang ever bought Sister Xia'er from her parents. Second, you say that Mrs. Zhang from Lehu is Sister Xia's biological sister. In this way, Sister Xia is originally Lehu,  The resale of Lehu is legal. This is the key to reversing the case and punishing Guan Zhe. Third, you go to Zhang and make her agree with your confession. Fourth, you say that your husband Yuan Gui bought it from Wu Yi.  Come, Sister Xia.¡±

    When Yuan Gui's wife heard this, she suddenly realized: "Master Kong is really smart."

    "However, you need to wait for my notification before going to Dongchang to complain. Because I need to talk to Sister Tongxia and the matchmaker Zhang Yun first so that they agree with your confession.When the time comes, if the case cannot be overturned, Guan Zhe will definitely pay for Brother Yuan¡¯s life!  "

    "Thank you, Mr. Kong. I will go find Mr. Zhang right now. You go find Sister Xia and the matchmaker Zhang Yun. Afterwards, I will wait for your news at home."

    After the two discussed it, they started to act separately.

    Yuan Gui¡¯s wife went straight to Zhang¡¯s home in Lehu.

    When Mrs. Zhang saw Yuan Gui¡¯s wife, she was puzzled, ¡°I wonder why my sister-in-law is here?¡±

    "You are about to be in trouble!"

    "how do I say this?"

    "Do you still remember Sister Xia that you bought from the matchmaker Zhang Yun? Sister Xia's mother, Zhao, has filed a complaint with the government. My husband Yuan Gui was beaten to death! Aren't you afraid of being punished with a hundred sticks?  The punishment of being exiled for three thousand miles?¡±

    "Oh, sister-in-law of the Yuan family, stop scaring me. Tell me what to do!"

    "If someone from the Yamen comes to ask you for evidence, you must insist that you have never bought Sister Xia from the Jiang family or the matchmaker Zhang Yun. You must insist that Sister Xia is your biological sister."

    "But, what if Sister Xia doesn't admit it?"

    "I have a way to get her to admit it, don't worry about it."

    "What can you do?"

    "Sister Xia is greedy for enjoyment and has always been resentful of her parents for selling her. Now she is coveting the wealth of the Yang family and is bent on following Kong Dexing, the nephew of Master Kong Mengqing of Dongchang. She has promised to Kong  Young Master claims to be your biological sister, as long as you insist that Sister Xia is your biological sister, you can escape punishment. "

    "Thank you, sister-in-law, for your advice."

    Kong Dexing colluded with Yuan Gui's wife to determine Zhang's confession, while Jia Xiaowei arranged for his goddaughter Jia Yun to find Sister Xia.

    While Zhao and Jiang Cheng were not at home, Jia Yun found Sister Xia privately and asked her quietly: "Sister, do you miss Mr. Kong?"

    "How is Mr. Kong doing now?"

    "He misses you so much now, and looks forward to being officially married to you as soon as possible. He wants you to follow him and be a good man. If you marry Mr. Kong, you will have endless prosperity and wealth for the rest of your life. His family has power.  He is powerful, and the owner of Dongchang, Kong Mengqing, is his uncle. "

    "what do I do?"

    "You should leave home immediately and go to my house to hide. Here is the money Mr. Kong gave you as a spare." After saying that, Jia Yun, the goddaughter of Jia Xiaowei, took out a lot of money and gave it to Sister Xia.

    "What if I get caught by someone from the Yamen?"

    "If someone from the Yamen comes to get evidence from you, you must insist that you are Zhang's biological sister."

    ¡°What if my mother and brother deny it?¡±

    "I have arranged for the matchmaker Zhang Yun to say that she sold the Jiang family's daughter to Zheng Hong, a relative of the Zhou Emperor, and does not know Zhang. You must insist that you and the Jiang family's daughter Xia are two people."

    "Okay. Don't worry, Master Kong. I will definitely follow his instructions. However, when the time comes, he must not let me down."

    "Master Kong has been thinking about you day and night, how could he let you down? You'd better hide with me now, and don't let the Yamen capture you."

    Sister Xia thought to herself, Mr. Kong is indeed not a heartless person, I will never let him down!  Immediately, Jia Yun hired a car. Seeing no one on the street, she called Sister Xia and left.  Sister Xia didn't even have time to pack her daily necessities, so she hid the news from her mother and brother, left without saying goodbye, and drove straight to Jia Yun's home.

    After that, Jia Yun followed Kong Dexing's instructions to find Zhang Yun, the matchmaker, and asked her to confirm that she had sold the Jiang family's daughter to Zheng Hong, a relative of the Zhou emperor. She did not know the Zhang family in Lehu.  Then, Jia Yun left several large ingots of silver ingots to the matchmaker Zhang Yun.  Zhang Yun smiled brightly and said repeatedly: "Don't worry, girl, if someone asks me, I will definitely tell you what you want."

    After finishing these things, Lieutenant Jia directly reported to Confucius and Mencius: "Master Yang, Sister Xia and the matchmaker Zhang Yun have been bribed, and I want to pay you a favor."

    Hearing Captain Jia¡¯s report, Kong Mengqing quickly called for his nephew Kong Dexing. When Kong Dexing heard this, the uncle and nephew could not help but look at each other and laugh.

    Kong Mengqing smiled proudly and said: "With this arrangement, I'm not afraid that I won't be able to overthrow Guan Zhe of that mansion! It's just a good opportunity to kill them and let them know how to respect me in the future. Also, I will definitely let that person  Sister Xia is back with you."
