Chapter 149 Zhao Family Tragedy
Just one year ago, the third son of the Zhao family, Zhao Yuanzhe, went to Beijing to visit a friend.
It was precisely because of this that he escaped the murder at home!
......
At first, the Zhao family moved to Ji'an Town, a big town not far from the capital, because they were doing business and also wanted to be closer to the capital.
This place is the first stop into Beijing, so it is very prosperous.
At the same time, the dates for the imperial examinations often changed.
The imperial examination was supposed to be held every three years, but for various reasons it became a special test of the imperial court.
Therefore, many candidates from well-off families would arrive in the capital city in advance, or settle down in the surrounding areas, waiting for the court to recruit talents and hold the imperial examinations.
The Zhao family also settled in Ji'an Town with this mentality.
After settling down, the old man, who was the one who donated the grain, fell ill.
The eldest son, the one who married the cousin of the Li family, did not take part in the imperial examinations again because he was in mourning.
When the third son grew up, the Zhao family placed their hopes of going to Beijing on Zhao Yuanzhe.
Originally, their family was well-off, and the third son of Zhao was both knowledgeable and of high character. Therefore, he often lived in the academy in Shangjing City and was not often at home.
Ji'an Town is the first stop when coming to Beijing Port, and it is very prosperous.
There is a story behind the fame of this town.
There was a family named Xian in this town, who used to be the wet nurse of an emperor.
Later, after she left the palace, she did a lot of good things in the local area. The emperor was grateful for her virtue, exempted her descendants from taxes, and also gave her a plaque.
This family is very prosperous...
The Xian family used to be fine, but in this generation, their descendants are getting worse and worse.
Now the Xian family has only two children, a boy and a girl.
A few years ago, I hired a live-in son-in-law.
This man was a talented person. In just a few years, he made the Xian family extremely wealthy.
They actually built a luxurious manor with a gate and a suspension bridge. Isn't that amazing?
Because of the wealth of their Xian family, their already arrogant descendants became even more arrogant.
Among them, the young master of their family, the second young master of the Xian family, even reached the point of bullying men and women.
No one dares to mess with the locals in Ji'an.
A year ago, a big event happened in Ji'an Town...
The cousin of the Li family seldom went out, but once when she was burning incense and fulfilling a vow, she was seen by the second young master Xian, who came up to tease her.
This Mr. Xian did a lot of immoral things like this, and the local government didn't care at all, and just paid compensation afterwards.
This guy became more and more rampant. That day, he jumped into the car of Zhao's grandmother while drunk and wanted to "rape" her in the street.
Unexpectedly, the lady from the Li family was not someone to be trifled with. She blinded the madman's eye with a hairpin.
This caused trouble. When the second young master of the Xian family had the body carried back, he threatened to make the Zhao family pay with their lives.
The Zhao family also knew that this matter would not end well.
I wanted to send my grandmother away as soon as possible, but I didn't expect that the Zhao family would kill the entire family in one night!
There was not a single adult, child, or servant left in the house.
Zhao Yuanzhe managed to escape this disaster because he was visiting a friend at the time.
Afterwards, the government simply said that it was a robbery.
However, everyone knew that this was the Xian family's revenge on the Zhao family.
Zhao Yuanzhe went to the government office several times to demand accountability, but was eventually beaten out by local yamen runners.
He then took his servants to the capital to file a complaint.
However, because he was only a scholar and not yet a juren, and did not know any officials in the capital, his teacher helped him inquire about the situation of the Xian family.
Tell him that this may be difficult to accomplish.
In a rage, he wanted to bang the drum to report the incident.
However, if he were to go to court with his status, he would first be beaten with a hundred sticks.
His old servant was afraid that he could not bear the punishment. Besides, he was the only child in the Zhao family, so he took the punishment for him.
The old man died at that time.
However, the case was dismissed within two days, and he was told that the local government had thoroughly investigated the case and found that it was committed by bandits, and Zhao Yuanzhe had falsely accused the Xian family.
So, Zhao Yuanzhe was beaten out again.
The grief and anger, as well as the injuries from the beating, made him bedridden.
However, unexpectedly, the assassin also came up at this time.
He didn't want to implicate his friend who had taken him in.
He had no choice but to hide in the refugee zone with one of his servants.
The child was so angry that he actually thought about recovering from his injuries and then waiting for the imperial examination to start, where he would study hard and have a chance to appear in the Golden Palace to file a complaint to the emperor.
You really said...
"Why are the authorities so sure that it was done by bandits?" General Xiaoli was very angry.
"Master, there were no robbers at all. Many people saw it at the scene. Grandma was raped to death. The young master and the girl in the family were also thrown to death. The men were tied together and burned to death..."
"How could there be such a robber! ... People who have seen the scene all said that if it wasn't revenge killing, there would be no such scene!"
"How do you know?" Xiao Yan asked
"I recognized Mr. Zhao yesterday. That night, Xiao Liuzi told me about the Zhao family. I took the initiative to ask my friends who work in the government office..."
"In fact, everyone in the government office knew about this case, but the higher-ups kept saying it was a robbery that wiped out the whole family... Young Master! This is unjust!"
The old butler knelt down crying.
"Young Master, the old general was once favored by the old master of the Zhao family. He left a message at that time, saying that if there is a chance to repay one day, the Li family will spare no effort. I didn't know that such a tragedy had happened to the Zhao family at that time, and I just thought that the Zhao family had also suffered a disaster, but I didn't expect... Young Master Zhao only told me the reason after Xiao Liuzi told me the whole story, and then I went to inquire about it."
"… I will report this to the Madam… Eldest Master, Young Master, this Xian family is too overbearing and too deceiving!"
The old butler was already crying.
"...Fucking hell!" General Xiaoli slammed the table.
"Which government office made the ruling on this case?" The young master also stood up.
The steward raised his head with tears in his eyes: "Master, Master, you don't know... I went to ask in the name of the general's mansion..."
"In the end, they told me to go directly to the Ministry of Justice... My friends there told me that it was useless to go to anyone because the case had already been decided and there was absolutely no possibility of overturning the verdict."
"There are dozens of officials from the local level to the Ministry of Justice involved in this case, and they all say the same thing. We... have no other options!"
"Besides, it's been a year. The evidence at the scene has been destroyed, and the people have been burned to death... We have no other options... There are dozens of lives lost in the Zhao family!"
"How is that possible? There must be another way."
General Xiaoli said angrily: "I will go and catch that bastard right now, and see who is harder, his mouth or my whip."
Xiaoyan frowned and shook her head: "No, if we do this, people will say that we tortured people to confess. If the case is brought to court, someone might even sue us. If things go wrong, the General's Mansion might be implicated."
"I'm not afraid!"
General Xiaoli waved his hand and said, "It's okay if you're involved. What the hell is going on? What the hell is going on?"
"Yes, Master, don't get excited. We can't cause trouble at this time. If we want to avenge our cousin, we have to think carefully."
The old butler hurriedly stood up and persuaded General Xiaoli.
