Chapter 1093 Judgment

Later, Qian’s in-laws, Gu Baoer’s mother-in-law, gave her an idea, asking her to wait a month or two before sending the money to the capital, and to use the money as interest first.

Gu Baoer's father-in-law's family is a wealthy businessman from Ping'an City.

Ms. Qian feels that her in-laws are indeed business people and are smart. This method is very good.

Once I told Gu Zhong, Gu Zhong also thought this was a good idea and agreed.

This in-laws teamed up with the Gu family to loan loan sharks.

After Gu Zhong tasted the sweetness, he kept delaying the money to be sent to the capital. Every year, he had to wait until the end of the year and the New Year to get the money together.

Gu Zhang didn't care about the money and never asked about it.

It was impossible for Gu Zhong to go out to lend usury himself. Qian and her mother-in-law had recruited some people somewhere to lend usury money.

They didn't charge such a high interest rate, but there were many people there, so the money changed hands several times and got into the hands of the borrower, and the interest rate was frighteningly high.

When borrowing money, moneylenders deliberately make things unclear. Few people these days are literate, and they are not very good at accounting. They have the final say on how to write the IOU and how to calculate the interest.

 After figuring out the whole story, Gu Fei laughed angrily.

After Xiao Yu came to the throne, he thought that the Gu family's relatives were all poor people and it was difficult to give them official positions. He was also afraid that their lives would be too bad and Gu Fei's face would be lost, so he gave land to several families in Jiangnan.

 Gu Fei's uncle Gu Zhong's family, his brother-in-law Gu Rong's family, and his aunt's family were each given a thousand acres of land.

Even the village chief’s family gave him 500 acres of land.

 Normally, their lives are very good.

Coupled with the fact that Gu Zhong can get 20% from the rent of Gu Fei's family's land, he also has a lot of money every year.

 This man really has a heart that is not enough for a snake to swallow an elephant.

I think back then, Gu Zhongqian’s family couldn’t even afford white flour. Now they have thousands of acres of fertile land, but they are still not satisfied.

  Qian was also confused at this time.

 She looked at some of the moneylending thugs that the government officials had brought over, and she didn't recognize most of them.

She also didn’t know that these people were using the name of the Gu family to force girls into prostitution and sell girls into prostitution.

She has had people do things like seizing people's fields and stealing people's shops.

But she didn’t think she was wrong. Isn’t it natural to pay back debts? If they still don’t pay, it’s also right to use the shop and land to pay off the debts.

The yamen servant asked Qian to identify people. She only pointed out a few people she knew. Then the prefect asked her some questions. She answered them all. After answering, the yamen servant came over with her confession and asked her to sign it.

 The same is true for Gu Zhong.

Gu Baoer was also very cowardly. He admitted everything he had done and signed his signature.

It doesn’t matter if you deny it, there are witnesses.

After all the procedures were completed, a thick stack of testimonies and confessions was piled on the prefect’s desk.

 The master is sorting it out, and the master is sorting it out.

It's impossible not to get a result today. The sun is going down now, so we have to hurry up.

The magistrate read the compiled files, testimonies, and confessions, and finally began to make the verdict.

He slapped the prison tree suddenly and said, "Gu Liang was raped and the queen of the people, Chun'er, was robbed and killed. I will be punished with a hundred sticks and exiled for three thousand miles."

“Another fight caused Chen Yuan to become disabled, and he was punished with an eighty-year cane and served for three years.”

“He also ordered the horsemen to whip Zhang, with a cane of sixty, which lasted for two years.”

“He also raped the daughter of the Yu family, and was punished with an eighty-year rod and a three-year apprenticeship.”

 "Several crimes plus punishment, three hundred and sixty rods, and lifelong exile."

Gu Baoer collapsed on the ground. The prefect above had not finished speaking.
