Chapter 197 I sue the 7th Young Master of the Ning Family for forcing my wife
The Jiang Mansion was once the old residence of the Guan family, the richest family in Yumen Pass. It is a quadrangle courtyard with seven entrances. It is only two streets away from the government office and an alley away from the most prosperous area.
It was a place of peace and quiet in a noisy environment, but somehow it fell into the hands of the Jiang family.
Pavilions, rockery, flowing water, and quiet paths are all typical of the Jiangnan landscape. It would be very expensive to build such a garden in the northwest.
Ning Liu was a little surprised. "It's beyond my expectation that Yumen Pass has such a beautiful garden."
Ning Zhiwei had been here before. The scenery remained the same, but the people were completely different.
"As long as you have money, everything is possible. Our Ning family is full of warriors, so we are not so particular and prefer a rough style."
The martial arts training ground at home is very large and can accommodate hundreds of people. It is bustling every day.
The racecourse was even bigger, not only had stables but also horse farms, and she had learned horse riding from her brothers since she was a child.
At Ning Zhiwei's command, the young camp dispersed to search.
Soon, the copied materials piled up like a mountain in the hall.
Ning Zhiwei looked at many familiar objects and couldn't help but sneer. She knew it would be like this.
Ning Si looked over and asked, "What's wrong?"
Ning Zhiwei picked up a vase and pointed at the mark underneath, "Look what this is?"
When she saw that the Ning Mansion was empty and all the courtyards had been emptied, she knew it must be the Jiang Mansion.
Ning Liu came over curiously. "Ning? From our Ning family?"
"Yes, most of them are our Ning family's things." Ning Zhiwei pointed to a few other things and said, "These are the Guan family's things."
Now it was Ning Liu's turn to laugh. "You bastard, thief, robber, bandit."
Ning Zhiwei gently stroked the familiar object, eyes full of nostalgia, "This is my grandfather's most beloved armchair."
"This is my uncle's favorite glazed screen."
"This is my second uncle's favorite set of furniture."
……
The Ning sisters became angrier and angrier as they listened. "This is draining our Ning family. What does Seventh Brother do for a living?"
"He really is...ah." Ning Sizhi sighed.
Ning Zhiwei asked them to keep a record of what they copied. "Although these are personal belongings, they are relics. Take them back and give them to the wives of each family as a souvenir."
The two sisters wrote down the information very quickly. There was so much information that their hands were sore from writing.
Ning Si exclaimed in surprise, "Hey, why is there such a beautiful coral tree here?"
Ning Zhiwei was silent for a long time, eyes full of nostalgia, "This is a gift from my grandfather for my tenth birthday. There is a pair of them. There should be another one. Let's look for it."
Ning Si sighed silently and patted her on the back. Some things can never be overcome in a lifetime.
Ning Zhiwei waved her hand, "Have you found any food?"
The subordinate shook his head, "No."
Ning Zhiwei frowned. How could there be no food? Food is the most important thing at the border. How could they not plunder it?
Chunsheng ran over excitedly, "My Lord, look."
There were a whole box full of land deeds and house deeds. Ning Zhiwei looked through them one by one. Damn, this must be the people's hard-earned money.
More than thirty shops, five farms, dozens of hectares of land... My goodness, she also saw that several shops and fields under her family's name had all become the property of the Jiang family.
If I don't kill the Jiang family, I'd really be letting myself down.
"Divide into five teams and take over all assets. Anyone who disobeys will be killed."
It's all hers now.
She picked out two land deeds and said, "The Jiang family has two grain stores, so there should be grain. If there is, send it all over."
"Yes."
Ning Si looked at the thick list with mixed feelings, "This family is really good at plundering. In less than a year, they got so many things. Every item must be stained with blood."
When the people in the city heard that Ning Zhiwei had returned and that food was being distributed to everyone, every family received one, they were so happy that they ran out of their homes.
"The young lady is back. She has captured the Jiang family and asked us to go and avenge our grievances."
"Great! I've finally waited for this day. You're the best young lady. I have to go and inform the relatives who have fled to the countryside to seek refuge and ask them to come back quickly to get food."
“I wonder if I can get my family’s inherited shop back?”
"Maybe. You can give it a try. You know the young lady's temperament. She is very compassionate to the poor and the weak. As long as you don't offend her, she will be easy to talk to."
Ning Zhiwei had been wandering around the city since she was a child. Everyone knew her and knew a little about her personality.
Cheerful, generous and open-minded.
"Then I'll find someone to write a petition."
On the third day, the day of the public trial, there was a huge crowd of people at the entrance of the government office.
Amid everyone's eager anticipation, Ning Zhiwei appeared surrounded by guards.
The whole audience cheered, "Little Miss, Little Miss."
Ning Zhiwei waved to everyone and said, "My fellow villagers, I'm back. I'm grown up now, and it's not appropriate to call you Miss anymore. From now on, just call me... City Lord."
A man knelt down, "Hello, Lord City Lord."
Others knelt down one after another, "Hello, Lord City Lord."
Ning Zhiwei waved her hand. "Everyone, stand up. I have received many complaints in the past three days. The Jiang family has harmed the people of Yumen Pass and trampled on the border that our Ning family fought hard to defend. I cannot tolerate this."
In the solemn court, a plaque with the words "A Clear Mirror Hangs High" was hung high. The guards were divided into two groups. Ning Zhiwei sat behind the desk with a solemn expression. "I promise here that I will seek justice for everyone."
"Thank you, Lord City Lord."
"Bring up all the members of the Jiang family." Ning Zhiwei gave an order, and the Jiang family members were dragged into the court. They looked listless, their clothes were dirty and smelly, and they looked in a miserable state.
The most miserable one was Jiang. She was covered in feces and urine and stunk to high heaven. The Jiang family members kept their distance from her in disgust.
Jiang had her eyes closed tightly and did not move at all, like a living dead.
Everyone felt extremely relieved to see the once powerful and glamorous Jiang family fall to this state.
"Let's get started. Who has a grievance?"
A middle-aged man came up hesitantly, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed. "Lord City Lord, you know my mutton soup steamed buns. You used to love to patronize them. Now the store has been taken away by the Jiang family. Please make the decision."
Ning Zhiwei nodded, "Uncle Wu, I remember that your mutton soup steamed bun is delicious."
"Do you have the deed?"
"exist."
Ning Zhiwei pointed directly at Ning Si who was sitting on the side and taking notes, "Find a clerk to register and make a detailed record. After verification, you can sign and take it back to the store."
The middle-aged man was ecstatic and really made the decision for them, "Thank you, Lord City Lord."
Having set the precedent, others rushed to accuse the Jiang family, and Ning Zhiwei responded one by one.
If it is true, what should be paid back should be paid back, what should be compensated should be compensated, and what should be punished should be punished. There will be no leniency.
She acted fairly and strictly, which made the people happy. There was light in their numb eyes, and they finally saw a glimmer of hope.
The Jiang family members looked as pale as death. Every one of them was charged with a crime, except for the young children.
Suddenly, a man in brown stepped out from the crowd and said, "Lord City Lord, I have a great grievance to appeal. I wonder if you dare to handle it impartially?"
Jiang's tightly closed eyelids trembled.
Ning Zhiwei saw it all and said calmly, "Speak."
The man in brown clothes said loudly, "I, Wang Ruhai, sue the Seventh Young Master of the Ning Family for forcibly taking my wife..."
There was an uproar at the scene.
