Chapter 1770: Preparing to Overturn the Case

~8 min read 1,418 words

The He family father and daughter met and cried bitterly. After some pouring out, Miss He finally learned the ins and outs of the matter.

Hearing that her uncle had been beaten to death by her father, she was laughing and crying, unable to control her feelings.

"Father shouldn't have taken risks for me. Uncle's body had long been hollowed out by wealth and color, very weak! In just a few years, he would... now what should we do!"

She was dazed and helpless.

Father was back.

But father was back in prison, and this time he might be sentenced to immediate execution.

The hope that had just been ignited was replaced by greater despair. For a time, she wanted to go with her father. This world didn't give people a way to live!

"If Father is sentenced to exile, this time, no matter what, I will go with Father. Please don't abandon me again. Although the capital is good, it is not my home. I would rather suffer with Father than stay in the capital and suffer. Please fulfill me, Father."

"Silly girl! Why are you so stubborn."

Miss He wiped her tears. "Where there is Father, there is home. Where there is no Father, even if I die, no one will shed tears for me. If Father doesn't want to collect my corpse, don't refuse me."

He Shouzhang nodded repeatedly, and then became very desperate. "It may not be exile, it may also be immediate execution."

Miss He's eyes became more determined. "If Father is sentenced to immediate execution, I will cut my hair and become a nun, chanting scriptures for Father and Mother. I only hope that in the next life, our family of three can reunite."

"Silly girl, really a silly girl. You are still young, you can remarry..."

Before He Shouzhang could finish, Miss He shook her head repeatedly, firmly refusing to marry. She had already seen the viciousness and inferiority of men, and she clearly knew what was going on between men and women. She only felt pain.

She didn't want to marry!

She just wanted to be with Father.

He Shouzhang was a person who had been through it and had extraordinary insight. Looking at his daughter's expression, he guessed the inside story.

Suddenly, the whole person felt bad.

How much grievance had his daughter suffered to be respectful and distant from men, not wanting to marry.

He was even more guilty, even more hateful of his brother-in-law's family, and even more determined to live. He didn't want to die! He still had to take care of his daughter and plan for her future.

He wanted to overturn the case!

Chen Guanlou was not surprised at all when he learned that he wanted to overturn the case.

He went to the cell to see the other party. "I flipped through your case and also asked the coroner. Your brother-in-law died from your beating, and there is no doubt about the cause of death. The only thing that can be made an issue of is your brother-in-law's vicious character, selling your daughter to the wealthy old man as a concubine without your consent. As for the wealthy man, I will handle it and let them provide a statement, which should nail down your brother-in-law's vicious act of selling his niece."

"Can you persuade that wealthy man?" He Shouzhang couldn't believe it.

Redeeming his daughter from the wealthy man's house was equivalent to offending the other party. The other party was still willing to provide a statement; he didn't know how it sounded, but it didn't seem very real.

Chen Guanlou laughed lightly. "If you come forward, you certainly won't be able to handle this. If I entrust someone to come forward, this matter is just a matter of one sentence. No matter how rich the wealthy man is, he is afraid of officials. A magistrate can destroy a family, a prefect can destroy a clan, it's not just talk. Official He, you were also an official, you wouldn't have forgotten this point, right?"

He Shouzhang smiled self-deprecatingly upon hearing this. "I had long forgotten, I didn't dare to recall."

The more he thought, the more painful it was, and the more he couldn't accept his current situation.

Better to forget!

Because of forgetting, he could persist until today, live, and return to the capital alive.

The place of exile was bitter and cold, where human life was worthless and medicine was lacking. Exiled personnel belonged to the bottom of the food chain, and dead people were common things. He could survive, could survive ten years, besides having a tenacious will, he must admit there was also a fluke.

"After all, someone died, so it's impossible to be innocent. I will try my best to fight for exile for you, exile to a place with better conditions, at least a place where you don't have to worry about food."

He Shouzhang said, "Thank you, Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen. The places of exile are all bitter and cold, where is there no worry about food. Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen, don't joke."

Chen Guanlou's expression was half-smiling.

He Shouzhang didn't understand. "Did I say something wrong?"

"To tell you the truth, there is really a place of exile where you don't have to worry about food. That place is hot, with at least two harvests a year, or even three. Eating enough is not a problem. However, it is very far from the capital, I don't know if you can walk there alive. After arriving there, you still have to adapt to the local climate and survive the early water and soil incompatibility."

"What the master said is not Xizhou?" He Shouzhang guessed the place name from his description. In the vast Great Gan Dynasty, only Xizhou met these conditions.

"Exactly. Everyone thinks Xizhou is a barbaric place, not knowing that after hundreds of years of exile, Xizhou is no longer the barbaric place in books. It already has cities, towns. In short, it has everything it should have... You have the Jinshi merit, if you go there, finding a job as a teacher is not a problem. This is much stronger than the north of the bitter cold place.

Bitter cold place, hearing it means not having enough to eat or wear. Every winter, how to survive the cold winter and survive until the coming spring is a big problem. I guess that most people there die in winter, right?"

He Shouzhang smiled bitterly and nodded. "Indeed, most people die in winter. Thinking about it now, it's incredible that I could survive."

Chen Guanlou raised his eyebrows slightly. "Naturally, it's because you were in your prime back then, physically strong, so you could survive. Now, you are old, and if you go to the bitter cold place for exile, I'm afraid you won't survive the next ten years."

"The master is right! My body is not as good as before, and it is highly likely that I won't survive the next ten years."

"Then the place of exile is set in Xizhou?" Chen Guanlou looked at the other party.

He Shouzhang bowed in thanks. "Everything is up to the master."

Chen Guanlou said again: "Having the wealthy man's statement is not enough, you also need to collect the evil deeds of your brother-in-law couple. This is easy! I will arrange for people to do it, let the neighbors provide a statement. What is the reputation of your brother-in-law couple among the neighbors?"

"Bad! One is calculating and loves to take advantage! One is idle and makes trouble! Neither is a good person!"

"Then why did you marry into their family back then?" Chen Guanlou didn't understand.

He Shouzhang sighed and explained: "When I married my wife, the father-in-law and mother-in-law were both there. With them managing, the brother-in-law looked like a person, regular and regular, barely called reliable.

After the father-in-law and mother-in-law passed away one after another, the brother-in-law lost his restraint and became absurd. I thought, no matter how absurd he is, my daughter is his own niece, and I left silver, at least I could ask him to take care of my daughter. Who could have thought that he would be so vicious and vicious..."

Speaking of this matter, He Shouzhang was so angry that he wished he could dig his brother-in-law out of the coffin and whip his corpse! And beat his brother-in-law's wife to death! ===== CHAPTER 1771 =====
