Locked: God is the matchmaker, neither you nor I can escape
Chapter 299: Suing Gao Chen (1)
Yan Yiyi looked at Hua Muchin and Ming Yang who was in his arms, and smiled teasingly: "Second brother, let's go back first and not disturb your date with Second Sister-in-law~"
Ming Yang's face turned red because of her teasing. Hua Muxin smiled brightly: "Okay, then you guys go back."
Yan Yiyi and Xin Ye said goodbye to them and left, but they did not go back. They wanted to spend some time alone with their husbands, so they did not let the secret guards follow them. They slipped away while no one was paying attention to them.
Afterwards, they went to the Wang family and the Liu family to deliver "things". The two families were now ordinary families and could not afford guards. With their current martial arts skills, it was easy for them to sneak into their mansions quietly.
That night, nearly half of the people in Sand City could not sleep because of Ji De's appearance. Among the Gao family, Grandpa Gao and Chen Xiaoxiao fainted from anger, and no other member of the Gao family, except the children, could sleep.
Most of their property was stolen in public, and they dared not imagine what the future would be like.
The Wang and Liu families were excited because they finally found an opportunity to take revenge!
The others were worried because Ji De was an unfathomable person and they were not sure how this guy had become interested in other people's treasures. They were afraid that he would come after their own family. The head of the family immediately convened a meeting and analyzed Ji De's target candidate with the others all night long.
The next morning, as soon as the government office opened its doors to hear cases, the loud drums for redress outside the door were struck, breaking the tranquility of the sand city.
The people of Sand City heard the news and rushed towards the government office while discussing the matter with the people around them.
"Could it be that someone from the Gao residence reported to the authorities and wanted to arrest Ji De?"
"Could it be that Ji De was arrested and the prefect opened a trial?"
"Ji De is so powerful, I guess it's not his thing, right?"
"I was there last night too. None of the yamen runners reacted at all. How could they catch Ji De like that?"
"Could it be that a master among the onlookers caught Ji De?"
"Could it be a master from Hua Man Pavilion?"
"Yes, many experts went to Hua Man Pavilion last night! If anyone can catch Ji De, I think it must be Hua Man Pavilion!"
What a coincidence! The members of Huaman Pavilion who were passing by were silent, secretly complaining: We don’t have the ability to catch a master who can disappear out of thin air.
However, he had a vague feeling that the person who beat the drum to appeal for justice today probably had something to do with accumulating virtue.
At this time, the yamen was already surrounded by a crowd of onlookers. The prefect had not arrived yet, and the people had become accustomed to this. What was more, they were more curious about the people inside who were seeking justice.
"It's the Wang family and the Liu family!" Someone exclaimed as he recognized the people inside.
The Wang family and the Liu family were once just families of little fame in Shacheng. After they fell into decline, the only people who remembered them were those who had dealings with them or had grudges against them. Ordinary people just saw them as familiar.
"Who?"
The businesses of the two families were not the best. When they mentioned a few shops, many people still did not react. That person suddenly had an idea and explained, "It is the current eldest lady of the Gao family, the second eldest lady of the Chen family, and the former husband's family."
The relationship was complicated, but everyone who heard it understood it.
Oh~ Turns out it’s those two unlucky families!
Someone immediately responded: "Jide also went to the shop of the eldest young lady of the Gao family last night. Could it be that these two families reporting to the police are related to Jide?"
"But why would Ji De help them? Are they related to Ji De? Is that why Ji De is targeting the Gao family?"
"Hiss—those two are incredible!"
"So, they know Ji De's identity?"
"Can't you?"
Lord Du, the prefect of Shacheng, came on stage slowly, yawning, amid the discussions of the people.
"Pa——" The court officially began with a clapping of the wooden sticks.
Lord Du looked at the men kneeling in the hall. There was an old man, two middle-aged men, and a young man.
"Who is in the hall?"
The old man said: "Your Excellency, I am Wang Zhong from the Wang family."
One of the middle-aged men said: "Your Excellency, I am also Wang Jiacheng from the Wang family."
Another middle-aged man: "Your Excellency, I am Liu Kang from the Liu family."
Young man: "Sir, I am Liu Fuan from the Liu family."
"What is your complaint?"
Wang Zhong: "Your Excellency, I am suing the eldest young lady of the Gao family for murder and robbery, for murdering my grandson and stealing the money of my Wang family."
Liu Kang: "Your Excellency, I am also accusing the eldest lady of the Gao family of plotting to defraud our Liu family's property and instigating my son to commit a crime. I beg you to conduct a thorough investigation. Gao Chen is the mastermind behind the scenes. Although my son is guilty, his circumstances are extenuating. I hope you will investigate thoroughly." As he said this, he bowed his head deeply.
If it were in the past, Lord Du would definitely declare whoever showed more "filial piety" innocent, but now the person the two men were suing was Gao Chen, a prominent figure, and he would not commit a crime against his will.
Moreover, he was not stupid. The Gao family or Gao Chen family could not afford much money as "filial piety". It would not do him much good to favor them. On the contrary, by handling this case impartially, he would surely be able to take this opportunity to reverse his image in the hearts of the people.
The most important thing is that the Gao family is the one that Ji De is "keeping an eye on". If he protects the Gao family, what if he has angered Ji De and is hated by him? Will he end up like the Gao family?
Although he did not witness it with his own eyes last night, his subordinates did, and each of them described it as if it were true. In addition, they swore that many common people, various noble families, and even people from Hua Man Pavilion were there. Even if he did not verify it, he had already believed it for the most part.
All in all, Ji De is a person who cannot be offended for the time being. He will have to continue to investigate later and determine the depth of Ji De before deciding how to respect this mysterious master in the future.
"Bang!" Magistrate Du slammed the gavel again: "Do you have any evidence?"
"Yes!" Wang Zhong and Liu Kang said at the same time.
"Send it up."
The two men immediately took out evidence from their bosoms and presented it with both hands. The two yamen runners presented the evidence to Prefect Du. Prefect Du unfolded the evidence and saw that these were letters left by Gao Chen when she was conspiring with others. Through these physical evidence, they could find the corresponding witnesses.
Prefect Du immediately dispatched yamen runners to summon someone to the court to testify. He also sent people to Gao's house to summon Gao Chen and her current husband, Master Gao, to the hall.
Lord Du: "Since you have evidence, why did you wait until now to sue Gao Chen?"
"My lord, this is the evidence that Ji De secretly placed on my bedside last night. Here is also Ji De's letter, the shop deed he left behind, and some land deeds." Liu Kang said as he took out another piece of evidence from the other side of his arms.
Wang Zhong also took out the evidence: "Sir, I am the same."
The two bailiffs went over again and presented the evidence to Lord Du.
