Chapter 374
Chapter 374
"County Lord, father-in-law, Lord Zhou!" the patriarch smiled and said hello, and hurriedly called his servant to bring tea to Quan Yu, Lord Zhou and Bai Jinzhi.
As soon as the descendants of those clans saw their ancestors, they all cried for their grandfather's help and the patriarch's help, complaining about how they suffered in prison and how the food in prison was not eaten by people.
On the contrary, it was Baiqing Festival, which was not wronged at ordinary times. He knelt there under pressure and said nothing.
Bai Qiyun was worried about his son and wanted to go up to see his son. It can be seen that his father stood behind the patriarch with his worried face and clenched his skirt tightly.
Bai Jinzhi glanced at the clan's worried people with cold, joking and contemptuous eyes. He didn't dare to come forward. He could only stand behind the clan leader with red eyes. He turned to Zhou Dahan: "my eldest sister should be here soon. Please wait a minute, Lord Zhou."
"The county leader is so polite! So polite!" Lord Zhou bowed to Bai Jinzhi again and again.
The brothel mother hurriedly took the mute girl down from the carriage and stood at the door of Bai's ancestral hall shouting: "Lord Zhou! Lord Zhou... I heard that the princess was looking for a mute girl. I just bought her yesterday. She is dumb and can't speak. See if it's this!"
"Prostitutes dare to stand in front of our Bai's ancestral hall!" Bai Qiyun was angry.
Lord Zhou quickly waved his hand to the Yamen to pull the brothel mother away. In the end, this is still the ancestral hall of the master of Zhenguo county.
Bai Jinzhi doesn't mind raising her feet and walking out. Quan Yu is busy following Bai Jinzhi. Just sitting down in the chair, Lord Zhou sees Quan Yu walking away and gets up again.
Bai Jinzhi has seen dumb Niang and is very concerned about her safety.
She came forward, looked at the little girl standing next to her mother in the brothel, timid and full of fear, and looked at her. The little girl was washed clean, and her body was obviously temporarily covered with ill fitting clothes.
"Four girls, is that her?" Shen Qingzhu asked Bai Jinzhi.
Bai Jinzhi shook his head: "this is not a dumb mother."
The brothel mother felt a pity and was relieved. The girl had just been sent and disobedient. She had been beaten twice and was injured. In case this is the girl the county chief is looking for, she will not be able to settle accounts after seeing the girl's injury.
Soon, outside the gate of the ancestral hall, someone shouted, "the four carriages are the princess of the town."
Bai Jinzhi looked sideways in the direction of the carriage.
Soon the carriage stopped outside the crowd. Chuntao helped Bai Qingyan down from the carriage. There was no sound around. The people looked at the rumored town princess, either in awe, fear or curiosity.
"Elder sister..." Bai Jinzhi said to Bai Qing, "only one person brought a girl who can't speak, but she's not a dumb mother!"
Bai Jinzhi stretched out her hand and pointed to the brothel mother. Her eyes fell on the girl who couldn't help shaking. She also looked at the flattering brothel mother: "let someone ask the mother how much money she wants and leave the child in the ancestral house."
"Yes!" Shen Qingzhu nodded.
"Dumb mother!" Bai Jinzhi was shocked. Looking at the dumb mother who bent down and came out of the carriage, he breathed a sigh of relief, "thank God! The eldest sister has found the dumb mother!"
"Princess......" Quan Yu saluted with a smile.
"Princess!" Lord Zhou followed Quan Yu and bowed to Bai Qingyan.
Bai Qingyan said to Quan Yu, "it's hard for Quan Yu's father-in-law to send someone out to find the dumb mother. Now the dumb mother has been found. Please let everyone come back!"
"Yes!" Quan Yu answered.
"Let's go!" Bai Qingyan took dumb Niang's hand and raised his feet towards the ancestral hall.
The Patriarch led the elders to meet him at the door and followed Bai Qingyan.
As soon as the Bai clan entered, the patriarch ordered the six doors of the ancestral hall to be closed. Bai Qingyan said, "don't close the door. Open the door... We'll sit in the ancestral hall and talk about things. It doesn't matter. Let our ancestors and Bai family watch here!"
Bai Qingyan sat down on the chair moved by Quan Yu. He glanced at the clan leaders and elders still standing in the courtyard, as well as the clan descendants pressed by the yamen, and slowly opened his mouth: "let's start. From the grandson of the clan leader and Bai Qing's day, what mistakes have been made and how to compensate the victims? We'll talk about how to punish them one by one... When we repay the victims, we'll talk about how to punish them."
After dealing with these clan descendants, the next is the rest of the clan, and finally... The patriarch.
Originally, Bai Qingyan wanted to clean up those rotten people and then force the patriarch to give up his position with the authority of the prince and her Princess, but now she has an ancient account book in hand, she doesn't need to force... The people are afraid they can't let him be the patriarch anymore.
The descendants of the clan who were drunk and pushed the dumb mother down the river saw the dumb mother standing on the side of Bai Qingyan. They were so frightened that they looked up at their grandfather's fifth master for help.
Bai Qingping was supported by the young man. He looked at Bai Qingyan with a cold and indifferent face and deep eyes. His fist tightened. It was as if he saw the town king he once respected and Bai Qishan, the Duke of the town.
Most of the people of the Bai family are so proud and natural, even the women of the Bai family are general.
County Magistrate Zhou took out the crime book of Baiqing Festival on the top and read it
Forced buying and selling, seizing people's ancestral property and bullying men and women are not obvious. He was forced to die on Bai Qing's day. He also suffered two lives, one was trampled to death when riding a horse, and the other was robbed of women in the brothel and pushed people down the stairs to death!
These are all things that Bai Qingjie did, and the evidence is conclusive.
"Where is the Lord?" Bai Qingyan asked.
In writing, there should be seven victims. Only five victims have come. The other two don't know whether they have been bullied or whether they don't believe Bai Qingyan will deal with them impartially.
The patriarch had long known that it was necessary to repay and compensate the victims today. He had already made the people ready. He turned to Bai Qiyun.
Bai Qiyun's teeth itched with hate, so he had to go forward and pay back what he should have, and pay what he could.
What a big sum of silver. Bai Qiyun's heart is bleeding.
The gray haired owner got the house deed and land deed of his ancestral house, cried excitedly and kowtowed to Bai Qingyan: "Thank you, Princess! Thank you, Princess! I didn't expect to come back today. I thought... I thought the princess was just pretending. My son didn't want to come. I didn't expect to take it back! Really... I took it back! Thank you, Princess! The old leader of the princess will remember it all his life."
Bai Qingyan stood up, turned sideways to avoid the old man's ceremony and said, "this is Bai Qingyan's day. There was a mistake first. As the daughter of the Bai family, Bai Qingyan was ashamed and didn't dare to thank the old man."
"Lord Zhou, next..." Bai Qingyan said.
Lord Zhou read about a crime committed by the descendants of a clan. When the victim came, he came forward, either to make compensation or return it to his original owner.
