Chapter 685 An old case
"Manager Tong, I'll go with you and take a look. If there's anything, I'll come back and tell you in time."
Anyone who dares to bully the people of Qinghewan is slapping the face of Village Chief Liu.
Village chief Liu wished that the men and women of the He family would spend their lives in jail.
He had to go and see.
Tong Huaqiong nodded and said, "Okay, go ahead. You don't need me to tell you what to say and what not to say."
Village Chief Liu narrowed his eyes and said, "Don't worry, I know."
Village chief Liu followed the yamen runner Zhang to the county government office.
Came back half a day later.
According to Village Chief Liu, Uncle He was so scared that he wet his pants on the road.
While passing through the court, the silver-haired woman and the gray-haired woman both fainted.
Village chief Liu brought up He Chao's household registration certificate and insisted that He Chao had always been a resident of Qinghewan and not a resident of Pingyang County at all.
This group of people are liars.
Taking advantage of He Chao's absence, they formed a group to defraud He Chao's property. After being exposed, they became furious and kept threatening Hong.
County Magistrate Liu was furious.
The eldest uncle of the He family originally wanted to insist that He Chao was his nephew, but the first one who couldn't stand it was Zhuzi, as he was afraid that he would be exiled if he didn't confess.
One of their purposes of coming to the He family this time was to adopt him to He Chao and thus take over He Chao's property. Along the way, Village Chief Liu hinted that he was one of the masterminds.
Zhuzi was frightened and confessed how his family planned to control Hong, how they forced Hong to be adopted, how they occupied He Chao's property, and even his dark idea of poisoning He Chao and Hong in the future.
After Zhuzi's move, the others couldn't hold on any longer.
I couldn't bear it at all.
In the end, the men were beaten with fifty sticks and the women were beaten with thirty sticks.
Except for the eldest uncle and the second aunt of the He family, the rest were detained and imprisoned for two years.
"That damn old man and the silver-haired old lady were released?"
Tong Huaqiong thought that the punishment would be light because of their age, but that was too easy for them.
The worst are these two old guys.
"How could that be possible? The two old guys were sent to Pingyang County to await trial. They will probably be beheaded." Village Chief Liu couldn't suppress his excitement and continued, "You don't know how exciting it is. In order to escape punishment, the eldest uncle of the He family and the second aunt of the He family actually bit each other, and in the process, they bit each other and exposed the death of the two old guys' spouses."
Village chief Liu looked excited.
It’s amazing that you can eat big melons while passing the court!
He didn't even dare to think about County Magistrate Liu's happiness.
"It turns out that these two old guys have had a crush on each other since they were young. When they were rolling in the haystack together, they were discovered by the wife of the eldest uncle of the He family. The two of them poisoned the wife of the eldest uncle of the He family to death."
Tong Huaqiong was shocked. This was the gender-swapped version of Pan Jinlian and Wu Dalang.
These two are so cruel.
What's even more cruel is the verbal attack.
Village Chief Liu said, "The two were not satisfied with just killing one person, so a few years later they killed the old lady's husband. Do you know how they killed him? The old man set a poisonous trap in the deep mountains and forests, and the old lady tricked the man into picking mushrooms in the mountains. The man's thigh was broken by the trap, and before the poison could take effect, he bled and attracted a pack of wolves that tore him apart and ate him."
"Just tell me if it's cruel or not? I was trembling all over when I heard it. County Magistrate Liu, who has been judging cases all day, said he has never seen anyone so cruel."
"The He family was so shocked that they were speechless at the time."
This is an old case involving two lives, so it is certainly not as simple as just beating the two men with a stick.
Because both cases happened in Pingyang, Pingyang County naturally had to cooperate in the trial. So County Magistrate Liu detained the man temporarily, wrote a letter to Pingyang County Magistrate to explain the murder, and waited for news from Pingyang County before continuing the trial.
If the facts are true, it is not a dream that the two old guys will be executed in the autumn.
Without the advice of these two old guys, the other members of the He family would not be able to make any waves. Besides, they were already scared out of their wits in the court and would probably regret coming to the He family of Qinghe Bay for the rest of their lives.
Tong Huaqiong and the Hong family expressed satisfaction with the news.
......
Tong Huaqiong was busy throughout the first month of the year.
He finalized the marriage between Gu Jingzhe and Lu Zhaozhao, watched Tong Pandi remarry, helped Li Mingxiu establish a female household, and together with Hong Shi, he cleaned up the He family...
Life is so fulfilling.
Time flies and the first month of the year is over.
The sunshine stripped away the winter's coldness, shrouding the entire Qinghe Bay in warmth.
Tong Huaqiong was sitting in the yard basking in the sun, planning to go to Shengjing. Her little granddaughter Ying'er moved her feet and threw herself into Tong Huaqiong's arms like a meat ball, holding a piece of mung bean cake in her hand and stuffed it into Tong Huaqiong's mouth.
"Grandma, seven, seven..."
Tong Huaqiong was amused by her little granddaughter and pinched her cute face.
Chen Sufen sat aside embroidering and looked at her little daughter with loving eyes.
Although the family had a maid and Ying'er had a wet nurse, Chen Sufen still sewed the two daughters' underwear herself.
Ying'er flapped her short legs and climbed towards Tong Huaqiong. Only then did Tong Huaqiong realize that her granddaughter could already walk and run.
Since Chen Sufen became pregnant, she handed over the bakery of Taohua Dessert.
In the past two years, Taohua Dessert has grown and opened many branches, and each store has trained baking chefs.
A baking competition is held every year. It is no exaggeration to say that Taohua Desserts is the only one that can tell what kind of pastries are popular in the entire Ningcheng.
Even some wealthy families in Shengjing knew the reputation of Taohua Desserts and sent people to Ningcheng to buy them. Even the powerful families in Shengjing wanted to poach the bakers of Taohua Desserts to work as private pastry chefs in their homes.
When Taohua Desserts was first established, Tong Huaqiong wanted to train Chen Sufen to become a benchmark in the baking industry.
After all, she is extremely talented at baking.
Several of Taohua Dessert’s long-lasting flagship products were developed by Chen Sufen based on the recipes provided by Tong Huaqiong.
During the two years that Chen Sufen has been taking care of the children in Qinghe Bay, her apprentice Liu Xiuxiu has already become a baking chef at the Taohua Dessert Store. If she were not young, she would be able to take on the role of manager of the bakery.
Master Wen from Fucheng has become the god of the entire Fucheng pastry industry.
Tong Huaqiong felt that giving birth to this child would hinder Chen Sufen's career.
In this day and age, women have few opportunities to go out of the house, and having children should be put before other things. I guess Chen Sufen herself doesn't think that having children will affect her baking career.
After all, she is the most traditional and contemporary woman of this era.
Tong Huaqiong didn't want Chen Sufen to stay at home to take care of the children all the time. She wanted Chen Sufen to continue working in the baking business at Taohua Dessert.
Otherwise it would be a shame for her baking talent.
In the past two years, Tong Huaqiong has focused her energy on Jufulai and the textile business. In addition, Chen Sufen did not take the initiative to mention returning to Taohua Dessert, so she did not ask Chen Sufen about her plans.
Now Tong Huaqiong would like to take this opportunity to ask Chen Sufen about her plans.
If Chen Sufen didn't want to return to Taohua Dessert, she would respect her idea.
Chen Sufen is different from Liu Yue'e. Liu Yue'e is not good at housekeeping and likes gossip about other people. It is easy to cause trouble if she stays at home, so she has to be kept busy.
"Sufen, Ying'er has grown up now. What do you think? Do you want to go back to Taohua Dessert, or go to Jufulai like Yue'e, or work in the weaving workshop?" Tong Huaqiong asked.
Chen Sufen was stunned.
She seldom thought about this question.
