Locked: God is the matchmaker, neither you nor I can escape
Chapter 300: Suing Gao Chen (2)
Magistrate Du looked at the two letters written by Ji De in his hand. Except for the different address, the other words were unchanged. The general meaning was that he accidentally learned about Gao Chen's actions and couldn't stand such a vicious woman like her, so he decided to take action to punish her.
The house deeds and land deeds were returned to them, and the other treasures were regarded as his hard work fee, so he accepted them with a smile without any thanks.
The corner of Magistrate Du's mouth twitched slightly. He didn't expect that Ji De was so kind and even greedier than him. As a result, he spoke so righteously and was actually deeply grateful to the other party.
Hmm...learned something.
About quarter of an hour later, Chen Xiaoxiao and Master Gao were summoned to the hall for trial. As defendants, Governor Du gave them a chance to defend themselves, but before they opened their mouths, Governor Du slammed the gavel to warn them that if they dared to make up lies, the punishment would be doubled.
Chen Xiaoxiao and Master Gao saw the Wang and Liu families kneeling beside them, as well as their subordinates or participants kneeling behind them. They all lowered their heads and dared not look at them, which showed that they had all confessed.
Chen Xiaoxiao is selfish and good at scheming in the harem, but that doesn't mean she is not afraid of the government or the government's torture instruments, and she decisively pleads guilty.
Young Master Gao was unwilling to stay in jail with Chen Xiaoxiao, and immediately pushed all the responsibility onto Chen Xiaoxiao: "I hope you can investigate this clearly!
I was seduced by this bitch, and all the plans were made by her. I just sent some people to help, please understand. "
Chen Xiaoxiao had expected Master Gao's reaction, but she would also feel hurt and angry when her husband was stabbed and called a bitch.
Chen Xiaoxiao's lips slowly curled up into a mocking and vicious smile: She originally thought that he was somewhat sincere towards her, so she could entrust the children to him to take care of them, but she had misjudged him after all.
In this case, then, don’t even think about having an easy life!
Magistrate Du looked at Chen Xiaoxiao and said, "Ms. Gao Chen, do you recognize her?"
"Your Excellency, I deny it!" Chen Xiaoxiao looked up at her husband standing beside her, "I did what happened to the Wang family, I admit it, but I deny what happened to the Liu family.
He was the one who first seduced/raped the common woman, and used this as a handle to threaten her and plot against the Liu family. Then he promised to marry her, so that he could take all the property she had obtained from the Wang and Liu families.
Recently, he has been trying to get me to transfer the shop to his name, but I am not stupid. How could I not know how important the shop is to me?
But he had the title of a scholar, and the woman advised him to focus on studying for the imperial examination, on the grounds that he had to prepare for the spring imperial examination, so he did not succeed. "
Master Gao looked at Chen Xiaoxiao in shock. He never expected that the woman who always put him first would turn against him so easily.
"Stop talking nonsense!"
Chen Xiaoxiao snorted coldly: "If you didn't have any plans for me, with your status as a scholar, you would have no choice but to marry any woman you wanted. Why did you marry a second wife like me? And why did you accept all the children I had for my ex-husband?"
As soon as these words were spoken, people began to talk about it, and almost everyone approved of Chen Xiaoxiao.
Although the Gao family was not a wealthy family, they had some assets and some foundation. Although he was a concubine's son, he was already a scholar. If he could pass the exam next year, he would become a juren.
There are still many daughters of wealthy families willing to marry such an outstanding young man.
Chen Xiaoxiao is beautiful, but she is not the kind of woman who can make people fall in love with her at first sight and would not want to marry anyone else, especially when she has been married to two husbands. If you say you have no other thoughts, even children would not believe it!
Master Gao saw that the situation was not good for him and wanted to refute, but he didn't know what to say for a moment. He said dryly that he fell in love with Chen Xiaoxiao at first sight. Who would believe him?
Fearing that he would make more mistakes if he said too much, Master Gao didn't say much, looking dejected as if he was misunderstood and unable to refute.
He had a rather handsome appearance, and looked haggard from not sleeping all night. Some women felt sorry for him and said a few words on his behalf.
The next second, Chen Xiaoxiao slapped him in the face: “I have evidence.
I definitely can’t take over the Liu family’s huge business by myself. In order to prevent our affairs from being discovered, we mostly communicated through letters. I saved the letters at that time.”
Master Gao looked at Chen Xiaoxiao in horror. His father was right. A woman's words could not be trusted completely. She had clearly said that the letters had been burned, but she had actually kept them all!
This woman...
The tall young master glared at Chen Xiaoxiao viciously, wishing he could pounce on her and strangle her to death.
Magistrate Du: "Where is the evidence?"
"Your Excellency, I left it in the secret compartment of the shop. Please allow me to take it."
Magistrate Du called two yamen runners in court and said, "You, you, the two of you go with her."
The bailiff stepped forward and said, “Yes.”
The tall young master lowered his head, and no one could see his expression. At the moment, he was very panicked. If she really took out those evidences, then he would be really finished.
What should we do?
Grandfather should have some private property, right?
For the sake of his status as a scholar, his grandfather should save him, right?
I am the only one in the Gao family who has achieved academic honors. I may even pass the imperial examination next year. By then, the Gao family will not only be a well-known wealthy family in Shacheng, but I can also bring honor to the family!
Young Master Gao was secretly thankful that Magistrate Du was a good man who would do things for money. He should not be against money. Besides, he might pass the imperial examination and have a bright future. Wouldn't it be more beneficial for him to be on good terms with him than to uphold justice for a mere common woman?
As for justice for the Wang and Liu families, as long as Chen was dealt with, they would feel relieved, and because of their status, they would definitely not cause trouble for themselves again.
The more he thought about it, the tall young master's heart gradually calmed down, and his face regained the look of sorrow and unspeakable pain.
This time, Governor Du and the people waited for nearly half an hour, and they did not get the desired result.
Last night, Ji De emptied out all of Chen Xiaoxiao's shops. Not to mention the things hidden in the secret cabinet on the table, he almost emptied all the rat holes. The rats were so scared that they dug holes overnight and ran away with their belongings.
Prefect Du's face darkened. There was insufficient evidence to convict Young Master Gao, but he did not release him directly. He temporarily detained him as a suspect and would retry him later.
In this way, not only Master Gao and Chen Xiaoxiao, but also the witnesses who helped them murder the Liu and Wang families were temporarily detained one by one, while the others were sent back for the time being and wait for the next trial.
Early in the morning, Yan Yiyi and Xin Ye were still sleeping soundly and did not come to watch the fun. When they woke up in the afternoon and learned about this, they wrote a letter in the name of Ji De that night, attached the evidence, and waited for good news from Lord Du.
