I'm taking the imperial examinations in Liaozhai

Chapter 226

Yang Jincai laughed loudly, "No one instructed me, Yang Yangwang, you never thought that there would be a day when the truth would be revealed, it's really a pleasure."

Yang Yang was so angry that he wanted to hit someone with his fist, but was pulled away by the yamen servants and pinned to the ground.

"Yang Yangwang, you dare to disturb the court, aren't you afraid of being punished?" Ji Zihe said with a serious face.

Yang Yangwang held his breath, but the surrounding situation did not allow him to be presumptuous, so he had to bow his head, "Don't be angry, my lord. The villain is just angry for a while, and I lost my sense of proportion. Please forgive me."

Ji Zihe waved his hand, and the yamen servant let go of Yang Yangwang and returned to his original position.Yang Yangwang gave Yang Jincai a vicious look, and he knelt on the ground peacefully after all that there was no more aggressive behavior.

"Yang Yangwang, do you agree with what Yang Jincai said?"

"Returning to my lord, what Yang Jincai said is all nonsense. When my hometown was hit by a disaster, I took my younger sister,

There is also a nephew who fled to Ning'an County to escape famine, and settled in Ning'an only after meeting the second lady of the Yang family.I'm sorry for my sister's death,

I have always raised Yuhua as my parent and child, and have never been treated harshly. This is what the neighbors can testify.There is also the Yang family, the Yang family extended a helping hand when the villain was in the most difficult time, this great kindness and virtue I, Yang Yangwang, will never forget.For this reason, after Yinger and Yuezhang passed away, I even changed my surname to Yang and entered the Yang family tree.If I have children, I will also be surnamed Yang, inheriting the incense of my father-in-law.I have never been stingy with the clan, and I often help the clan, and these clansmen can also testify for me. "Yang Yangwang said emotionally.

"The real one can't become fake, my lord, you can make Yang Yangwang and Chu Yuhua recognize each other by blood..."

Before Yang Jincai could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Yang Yangwang, "Ignorant old man, the imperial court has already issued an official document to refute the rumors. It is a rumor that the person who dripped blood is a rumor, and it cannot be confirmed that the person who dripped blood is related. Haven't you heard of it?" ever?"

Yang Jin was stunned, "This..."

Yang Yangwang seemed to have seized the initiative, and his arrogance was getting higher and higher, "My lord, Yang Jincai is my family's slave. I don't know why he would act against the master and falsely accuse the villain. According to the law of Da Chu, a slave sues the master. , you should play the [-]th board first, and please don’t show favoritism, my lord.”

"Yang Yangwang, you are wrong. He didn't sue you, he was just a witness, and I suspect you." Ji Zihe said coldly, "Bring the elders of the Yang clan here."

"Yes."

The yamen servant brought the old man of the Yang family to the court. The old man was still a little unclear about the situation, and kowtowed to Ji Zihe nervously.

"Meet your lord."

"Old man, I invite you here because I want you to see something, and please don't hide its origin."

"Don't worry, my lord, the little old man will know everything and say everything."

Ji Zihe ordered the yamen servant to hand him a stone tablet.

As soon as the old man of the Yang family held it in his hand, he realized that it was the piece that the police went to the village to inquire about, and immediately said, "My lord, this little old man really knows this stone tablet, and it belongs to Yang Qing, the eldest daughter of Yang Tuo. "

"Are you sure this belongs to Yang Qing?"

"Little old man is sure. It is a custom in our clan to use stone plaques to protect lives and protect newborns from growing up safely. This stone plaque was carved by the little old man himself, and it was given to Yang Qing when she was born. Sir, please Look, the green character on this stone tablet is Yang Qing's green."

Ji Zihe nodded, "I'll trouble the old man to make a trip, you can go down and rest first."

The Yang clan hurriedly said, "No trouble, no trouble, it's my luck to be able to help the magistrate of the county, my little old man resigns."

The veteran of the Yang clan handed over the stone tablet to the yamen servant. He looked at Yang Yang worriedly, but he didn't dare to stay and left the court.

The yamen servant handed the stone tablet to Ji Zihe, and Ji Zihe put the stone tablet on the table, "Yang Yangwang, this stone tablet was handed over to me by Mr. Chu Yuhua Chu himself. He said it was his father's relic, why did it change?" What about Yang Qing's?"

Yang Yangwang suddenly fell to the ground and burst into tears, "The villain doesn't dare to hide anything anymore, my lord, Yuhua is indeed Yang Qing's child. He is not the villain's nephew, he is the villain's own nephew!"

Ji Zihe:? ? ?

What kind of plot is this?

"My lord, I have been hiding this matter for nearly 20 years. Yang Qing did marry into my Chu family and became my younger brother's wife. Later, both she and my younger brother fell ill, and both passed away. Yuhua was an only Miao Miao, and the stone plaque was a relic left by Yang Qing to Yuhua. Just when my sister was retired and went home, I raised Yuhua by my side and asked him to call her mother. Later, the villain and My sister and Yuhua fled together, fearing that other people would have evil thoughts, so I lied that my sister and I are husband and wife, and Yuhua is our child, that's why some people misunderstood."

"Yang Yangwang, do you still have any sense of shame, you can make up such lies." Yang Jincai called out.

"How can it be a lie? What I'm telling is the truth. Lord Ji, how could I use lies to deceive you? Don't slander me."

"I didn't expect shopkeeper Yang to think highly of me. Naturally, I won't let you down. Bring the witnesses and physical evidence."

Yang Yangwang's heart sank again, and there were still people to testify, so he was well prepared. It seems that the county magistrate would not give up if he pleaded not guilty.

But how can he admit the crime of homicide? Yang Qing is not his slave, so he will kill him if he says he will.Once you plead guilty today, I'm afraid you don't want to walk out of the gate of this county government. If you add other charges and punish them for several crimes, it must be the death penalty. The death penalty is a crime that cannot be redeemed with money. He doesn't want to die. Not enough.

Yang Yangwang's eyes showed a bit of danger, the damn county magistrate, if he can get away with it this time, he will be cut into pieces.

When the sound of footsteps came, Yang Yangwang immediately braced himself to deal with it, but unexpectedly saw a familiar face.

"Yuhua, why is it you?"

Chu Yuhua pursed his lips, held the black skeleton in both hands, walked up to the courtroom silently, knelt down, put the skeleton aside, and kowtowed to Ji Zihe and Yang Yangwang respectively.

Ji Zihe asked, "Chu Yuhua, tell me, what is your relationship with Yang Yangwang?"

"Yuhua, why did you come here? My uncle will be home soon. What are you causing trouble for? Go home and study. You are going to the provincial government examination soon. Come to the court to deal with you Not a good reputation."

Chu Yuhua ignored Yang Yangwang's hints and threats, and kowtowed to him again.

When his forehead touched the cold ground, Chu Yuhua said in a hoarse voice, "Father, my son is not filial. In this life, my son may not be able to take the imperial examination."

Yang Yangwang froze his body, staring at Chu Yuhua's bent spine, his pupils were red, which was the call of rage.

Unfilial, indeed unfilial son, why would he do this.What good would it do him if his identity was exposed!No, no, nothing good.

Not only would he lose his own father, but he would also ruin his bright future.

It is unfilial for a son to expose his father in public, even if the father has committed a crime.How could a person with a lack of virtue be able to take the imperial examination again? His official career was completely over.

Yang Yangwang couldn't figure out why he would do this.For money, he is Chu Yuhua's son. When he dies, all his property will not be his, so there is no need for him to do so.It can't be for a woman who has been dead for more than ten years, and she doesn't even want her own father.

"Good nephew, what are you talking about? I am your uncle but not your uncle. Don't make a mistake. Your mother's greatest wish in this life is that you can be admitted to the first prize. How could you give up so easily? What about it?" Yang Yangwang gritted his teeth and said.

Chu Yuhua's waist bent even lower, "Father, confess your guilt. I was not a three-year-old child back then. How could I not be able to distinguish between siblings and husband and wife? You are my father, Chu Yangwang, and my mother is Yang Qing. There is no sister."

Yang Yangwang slumped on the ground with an ashen-colored face, but he still said unwillingly,

"Hua'er, did you misunderstand something? How can you treat uncle like this when your uncle loves you so much? How can I be sorry for you? You want to hurt me like this."

"Father, you have nothing to do to me. It's just that you should never have killed your mother for money." Chu Yuhua raised his body and looked at the pile of black bones on the ground.

Yang Yangwang followed his gaze, and when he saw the pile of bones, he instantly understood whose bones it was, and his face became hideous.

"Bitch, it's all your fault!"

Yang Yangwang got up suddenly, ran towards the pile of bones, and raised his foot to step on the bones.

Chu Yuhua rushed over in a hurry, protecting the bone under his body.Yang Yangwang didn't take back his foot when he saw this, and kicked Chu Yuhua heavily.

"Unfilial son! Unfilial son!"

The soles of Yang Yangwang's fists kept greeting Chu Yuhua, but Chu Yuhua didn't say a word or resist, and let him punch and kick.

Ji Zihe slapped the gavel, "Stop it, take Yang Yangwang down soon!"

I don't know where Yang Yangwang exploded with so much strength, the two of them didn't hold him all at once.Two more yamen servants came and dragged him aside.

"Yang Yangwang, there are all the witnesses and material evidence, you can plead guilty." Ji Zihe patted the gavel angrily, and asked.

Yang Yangwang was pressed down by the yamen servants, with his face on the ground, watching Chu Yuhua get up from the ground, wipe off the blood from the corner of his mouth, kneel numbly on the ground, and suddenly burst out laughing.

"Thinking that I, Chu Yangwang, spent my whole life trying to figure out all the tricks, but in the end I fell into the hands of my own son. It's really ironic, ironic."

"Are you pleading guilty or not?" Ji Zihe repeated.

Chu Yuhua lowered his eyes, "Father, plead guilty, mother has waited too long."

"If you want me to plead guilty, yes, Chu Yuhua, you promise me one condition."

"Dad, you say."

"Even if I die, you are not allowed to change your surname. Your surname is Chu, and you will be a descendant of my old Chu family in this life."

"it is good."

"Then you have to remember, otherwise I won't let you go even if I'm a ghost."

Yang Yangwang looked at Chu Yuhua with complicated emotions, blaming him for being so careless that he never noticed what this wolf cub was thinking.One careless move and he lost everything, after all, it was too late, if only... if only he had another son.

Yang Yangwang closed his eyes unwillingly, "My lord, I plead guilty."

Ji Zihe slapped the gavel, "Criminal Yang Yangwang, you indulged in slavery and wounded others, deceived your parents and officials, framed others, and killed your wife and changed your surname. This is an unforgivable crime! Now you are punished for several crimes. I ordered Yang Yangwang to be dragged away. Locked up in prison, [-] boards a day, choose a day to ask to be executed. Retire."
