Farming and reading family

In fact, she also knew that if it was just kidnapping and extortion, Chen Fancai's family would not be guilty of the death penalty.

She had already told the children about the kidnapping today, and they were all staying in the house, probably trying to process the matter.

"Lianxin, call Jin Chao and Yun Zhou over." Gao E said as she put down the tongs.

Soon Jin Chao and Yun Zhou came over. They looked in good condition. It seemed that the kidnapping had little impact on them.

"What does Jin Chao think about this matter?" Gao E looked at Jin Chao.

"Life is full of natural and man-made disasters," Jin Chao said directly.

"Where is Yunzhou?" Gao E looked at Yunzhou.

"That family is so bad." Yun Zhou was obviously not that magnanimous.

Gao E smiled and said, "Actually, I've been asking Aunt Lu and Uncle Wu to keep an eye on you."

Jin Chao gave Yun Zhou a knowing look, and Yun Zhou was a little surprised.

"In other words, you were kidnapped under the supervision of Aunt Lu and the others." Gao E said it more clearly.

"Why?" Yun Zhou asked subconsciously.

Gao E looked at Jin Chao: "What do you think?"

"Aunt Gao has her own plans, but she can also ensure that we are not harmed." Jin Chao said directly.

Gao E knew that Jin Chao was smart. Even if she didn't say it now, he would slowly realize it. It would be better to tell him now.

They are not your own children, so it is better not to have any grudges against them.

"This is indeed my family affair. I'm sorry for getting you involved in it." Gao E said apologetically.

Yun Zhou was silent, but not angry.

"We live in Aunt Gao's house, and Aunt Gao treats us like her own children. Being involved in something like this makes me feel like I am more like Aunt Gao's child," Jin Chao said with a smile.

When Yunzhou heard Jin Chao say this, he thought it was true. He looked up at Gao E with admiration and felt that he had a home.

"Then I also want to apologize to you." Gao E said seriously.

"Aunt Gao, there's no need to be like this." Yun Zhou immediately said, "This isn't what Aunt Gao said."

Jin Chao nodded.

Gao E smiled and nodded: "As long as you are still with me, I will ensure your safety."

After knowing this, the two people believed Gao E even more.

When Chen Jie returned to He County, the city gate had already been closed. He spent some silver to ask Jin Ruyi to pick him up, and when he entered He County, he started to beat the drum.

It was already dark and the yamen runners had all gone home, so the drum sound was extremely abrupt.

Cao Geng had no choice but to let Aniu bring Chen Jie in.

"Why are you here again?" Cao Geng looked at Chen Jie. "I will summon the Chen family to investigate this matter tomorrow."

"Sir, I'm not suing Chen Fancai for kidnapping and extortion." Chen Jie couldn't contain his excitement.

"What's that?" Cao Geng was puzzled.

"It was Chen Fan who did the living thing." Chen Jie looked solemn.

Cao Geng's expression grew serious when he heard Chen Fancai say this: "Are you serious? Do you have any evidence?"

"Yes, my second sister-in-law saved a beggar. Chen Fancai and his gang broke his limbs and threw him on the street to beg."

Cao Geng knew that Chen Fan had beaten those beggars, and some of them had injuries on their bodies, but they could not be considered as mutilation. However, if their limbs were broken and thrown into the street, that would be considered as it.

"Are you sure?" Cao Geng knew this was a big deal.

"The person is in Baotou Village. I have seen him." Chen Jie was very sure.

"If that's the case, I will definitely not let Chen Fancai and his family go," Cao Geng promised.

"Then can he be sentenced to death?" Chen Jie looked hopeful.

"It's more than just a death penalty. If it's really a case of being dismembered alive, he should be put to death by slow slicing according to the laws of Dachang." Cao Geng's expression was serious.

Hearing about the death penalty by slow slicing, Chen Jie felt relieved: "Then I will go with you tomorrow."

"You are a witness, so of course you have to go." Cao Geng agreed.

As soon as Chen Jie returned home, he was scolded by Mrs. Lei. Chen Jie angrily told her that the children had been kidnapped. After hearing this, Mrs. Lei went to the kitchen to get a kitchen knife.

Chen Jie hurriedly stopped them: "The man has been arrested and taken to the prison. Tomorrow, if it is confirmed that he was tortured alive, he will be publicly executed by slow slicing. Wouldn't it be better for us to chop him off twice?"

"No matter how you die, it won't be as satisfying as killing yourself." Lei was even more angry.

"As long as he dies, why should we get involved?" Chen Jie didn't care.

Lei felt a sense of accomplishment in getting involved: "What's your father's attitude?"

"Is his attitude more important than the laws of the court?" Chen Jie didn't care. "Anyway, I've already made my stance clear today. I'll kill Chen Fancai even if it means severing the relationship."

"That's what a man should be like." Lei was proud, but suddenly remembered something more important: "What's my second sister-in-law's attitude?"

"It was my second sister-in-law who told me about the dismemberment." Chen Jie raised his eyebrows. His second sister-in-law's attitude was self-evident.

Lei calmed down and thought for a moment: "Second brother is filial. We can't let him know that it was Second Sister-in-law who said this."

Chen Jie thought about it and said, "Okay, I'll take it."

The couple chatted until midnight and decided to go back to the village together tomorrow.

Early in the morning, the couple went to the gate of the county government office and waited. When the bailiffs came to report for duty, Lord Cao led a team of bailiffs to Baotou Village.

Chen Fansheng barely slept the entire night. He couldn't figure it out, and he was tangled up...

Chen Qing and Chen Ke stayed with their father the entire time, really worried that something might happen.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door.

"Brother Chen, Brother Chen, someone is coming from the government office." Zheng Yicheng shouted outside.

Chen Fan stood up suddenly, Chen Qing and Chen Ke hurriedly supported him, and the three of them walked out together.

They thought the people from the yamen were looking for them, but they heard that they went to see Doctor Xing.

Cao Geng saw Yan Zheng lying on the bed and asked Doctor Xing about Yan Zheng's condition.

"His limbs were not broken at once, but were beaten repeatedly. If Madam Chen had not brought them back in time, they would have been completely broken." Xing Jia sighed.

Cao Geng had also read medical books and personally examined Yan Zheng's condition, which was exactly the same as what Xing Jia had described.

"Is it possible for him to testify in court like this?" Cao Geng was a little worried.

Xingjia thought the child was so scared that he couldn't speak.

"I can." Yan Zheng said directly.

Xing Jia looked at Yan Zheng in surprise. It seemed that this child was not unable to speak, but was not able to speak easily.

Cao Geng nodded: "Then I will take you back to the government office now."

"I want to go with the person who saved me." Yan Zheng fought for it.

"Okay." Cao Geng agreed.

He is still a child, and it is not easy for him to remain calm after encountering such a thing.

When Cao Geng sent people to invite Gao E, Chen Fansheng and others had already arrived.

"Sir, how is the case in our family going?" Chen Qing came over and asked.

"The trial will be held today. Your family members should go together." Cao Geng said directly.

"Then he..." Chen Qing looked at Yan Zheng who was carried out.

"He was involved in another crime committed by Chen Fancai and has to go there to testify." Judging from Chen Qing's expression, Cao Geng probably didn't know about this.

"Yes." Chen Qing didn't ask any more questions.

Gao E came over soon.

"Greetings, Lord Cao." Gao E saluted.

"This child is willing to testify, but you have to accompany him. Are you willing?" Cao Geng asked Gao E for her opinion.

"This is what common people should do." Gao E nodded.

"Then let's go to the yamen together." Cao Geng said as he led his men away.
