Li Xiaonuan only officially woke up three days later. At that time, the rumors had almost been investigated, and the people involved were all detained. Most of those who were instigated and instigated were reprimanded and beaten with a few sticks and then released.

Since the victim Li Xiaonuan has not yet woken up, the case has not yet been formally tried. With King Jing's instructions, the people in the government were quite efficient. The next day, I found the youngest son of Chu Lin's nurse.

But because Wei Yu knew in advance and made arrangements, Chu Lin was not implicated. It's just that Mama Wu and Xia Lian were sacrificed and sent to the government prison. It was only then that the two realized that they had been provoked by Chu Lin's nurse.

Wei Fu was implicated in this matter, and the person concerned, Wei Yu, did not come forward to make any response. As you can imagine, rumors are nothing more than rumors. In addition, Qi Ji was also silent, and did not say a word for Li Xiaonuan, and everyone felt that this rumor was ridiculous.

As for that Wang Tu, he was directly said by everyone to hold a grudge and wanted to confuse the public and take revenge on Li Xiaonuan. Wang Tu's mother, Wang Huang, as a troublemaker, was imprisoned in the government prison with Xu Yan's sister-in-law.

Xu Yan, needless to say, was also one of the people who was summoned. It's a pity that before the people from the official mansion arrived at the Zhou landlord's house, the family law had been executed, and the whole person was dying. In order for the case to proceed smoothly, the government had to ask a doctor to save Xu Yan.

King Jing's subordinates are still quite capable of doing things, and it was found that this matter was also related to the housekeeper of the Zhou landlord's family. The housekeeper was confused by Xu Yan, and the two had a relationship. Xu Yan used this to threaten him, and asked him to help pay and hire many beggars to spread the rumors.

Although Li Xiaonuan woke up, his spirit was still not good. So the case dragged on for a few more days. When the lumps in Li Xiaonuan's knees slowly began to dissipate, she felt better. asked people to inform the government, saying that she would be able to go to court tomorrow.

On the night of Li Xiaonuan's accident, more and more people gathered outside the hospital. Those relatives were afraid that something would happen, and they all left one after another. Although the second aunt Tang and the third uncle's family wanted to stay, they were rejected by the Li Zheng and the patriarch of Zhou Village.

Although the old lady called Li Xiaonuan, she still didn't forget to bring all the silver with her before leaving. She didn't plan to return any of the money to Li Xiaonuan. Because she was really angry with what Li Xiaonuan said.

After Li Xiaonuan woke up, he knew that the family was living a stretched life again, so he asked Li Xiaoyang to go to the Wei Mansion to find Wei Yu to get the five hundred taels of silver.

Before Li Xiaoyang left, Li Xiaonuan explained: "Don't be polite to them, no matter how much they give you, you will accept a lot of money." After all, they owe me. ”

Li Xiaoyang responded, put on a basket on his back, filled some canned peaches and plums, and went to Weifu. When he returned, all the cans in his basket had turned into silver and tickets.

"The silver ticket of 5,000 taels was given by the second son of Wei. The three thousand taels of silver tickets were given by Young Master Wei. and the five hundred taels of silver, which were paid from the account of the restaurant. Also, this bottle of ointment was given by Xiao Si, saying that it has a miraculous effect on bone injuries. ”

Li Xiaonuan nodded, asked Li Xiaoyang to find an empty jar, and buried five thousand taels of silver tickets under her bed. The other three thousand taels, Li Xiaonuan thought that part of it would be used for the medical expenses of Li's father and second uncle, and part of it would be used to buy land. The Su family also felt that it was good to arrange it this way.

There were 500 taels of cash left, Li Xiaonuan left 50 taels for the family, and let Li Xiaogang get some of the medicine money from Tibetan Baicao on the second day. With the silver, Su Shi had the confidence to stew various supplements for Li Xiaonuan every day.

In this way, ten days later, when Li Xiaonuan appeared in the court, the face that could still see the bruises had begun to appear rosy. Because Li Xiaonuan injured her knee, the magistrate exempted her from kneeling and let her sit on Li Xiaoyang's special stretcher to participate in the trial.

By now, it has become very clear that the court trial is just a formality. Although Xu Yan was still breathing, she didn't get the same treatment as Li Xiaonuan. She lay half-dead on the ground, and said with a desperate breath:

"My lord, the slave and maid have to confess to one person. That person is Li Xiaonuan's cousin, Li Xiaoqian. It was she who said that Li Xiaonuan had an affair with Wei Ergongzi, so I would definitely spread the rumors. ”

When the magistrate heard this, he was shocked and asked, "Does it know that it is a felony to slander others if you commit a slave?" ”

Xu Yan hooked her lips and said sharply: "What the slave said is true, and I hope that the adults will see it." ”

Li Xiaonuan met Xu Yan with a provocative gaze, and said coldly: "My lord, since someone has accused the cousin of the people's daughter, it is better to invite her to come over to the court to argue." ”

The second aunt Tang waited outside the mansion early today, just to help Li Xiaonuan cheer up during the court trial. But her daughter was suddenly involved, which made her a little unbelievable.

No wonder, when Xiao Qian was asked to come this morning, Xiao Qian didn't want to come with her. Now that I think about it, Xiaoqian's few days at Li Xiaonuan's house were indeed a little strange. It's just that at that time, I was so focused on her father that I couldn't find out in time.

Now I know that it's too late. Although Tang was saddened by what his daughter had done, he was also dissatisfied with Li Xiaonuan's unsympathetic appearance. But she didn't ask Li Xiaonuan, after all, Xiaoqian really did something wrong. And Li Xiaonuan is the one who saved Li Dacai.

The magistrate sent the official to summon Xiao Qian, and began to try the case again. Xu Yan let it go first, and the next person to be tried is Xu Yan's sister-in-law and Wang Tu's mother Wang Huang. Where have the two of them seen such a battle, they both poured beans and explained things clearly.

Since the nephew of Mama Wu, who gave them the silver, was also present, the magistrate ordered someone to go to their house to get the silver. Because the two of them played a very important role in promoting this rumor, the magistrate sentenced them to 20 slaps and mouths, 30 canes, and hard labor for half a year. If there are similar cases afterwards, the tongue will be pulled out directly.

The two of them were paper tigers, and when they saw that the verdict had come down, they both begged Li Xiaonuan to reduce the punishment.

Li Xiaonuan suffered so much in this matter, she would not be kind anymore, and directly refused: "I have given you many opportunities before, but unfortunately you are not grateful." Now, I can only say that I will not spare those who try to harm me. ”

When the two saw that there was no way to ask for help, they cried wolf, mixed with abuse of Li Xiaonuan. The magistrate was angry and crooked his beard, and directly added ten more punishments to each of them before they closed their mouths in fear.

ordered someone to drag the two to another place for execution, and the magistrate interrogated Mama Wu and Xia Lian. Li Xiaonuan doesn't remember these two people, and she doesn't know what grudges she has with them. But she knew that these two men must have been used as gunmen, and then pushed out as scapegoats.

Those two deserved to have spent time in the backyard. In the course of the trial, he kept going to the side, cleverly defending, and denying in every possible way. During this period, they brought the topic to Chu Lin's nurse's youngest son many times.

It's a pity that the magistrate has already been entrusted by Wei Yu, so he took the conversation away. After a battle of wits and courage, the magistrate sentenced the two to be undignified forever and sent to work in the bitter kiln factory. The two regretted not falling, they hated Chu Lin for being too scheming, and hated Li Xiaonuan for not being obediently calculated to death by them.
