Chapter 546: Roaring Court to be beaten
The other five members of the Zhou family were pale, and the three fathers and sons, who had official bodies and fame, were in a cold sweat, but the two mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law who were kneeling shouted with hideous expressions.
"That's right! My lord! It's all instructed by Wang Chenan! It's his fault! It was he who forced our master to find Bai Rui! β
"Whoever touches her with this broom star is unlucky, we drove her away to save the whole family, just because Wang Chenan wants to marry her now, and our family is unlucky!"
"She first got her own mother's family to be sentenced to exile, she killed my poor son, her premature birth was God's punishment for her, our family finally lived a few years of peaceful life, and now because of her, our family's future is ruined! She's damned! She's damned! Zhou Hongshou's wife patted her thighs and wiped her tears and cried, and she didn't have the image of an official wife at all, she looked like a market shrew.
The men of the Zhou family panicked, and when they turned around, they covered their mouths and told them to keep quiet, but the three mother-in-law and daughter-in-law who were excited couldn't restrain themselves at all, and their hands and feet struggled and moved, and there was some chaos in the hall for a while.
Bai Rui glanced at them indifferently, she had suffered a lot in the past few years, and she had heard many insults, she didn't feel pain at all in this kind of Cheng dΓΉ, but their current ugliness made people disgusted.
Liberty moved two steps silently, standing in the middle of the original defendant, separating the line of sight between the two sides.
Fu Yin slapped the startled wood hard, which frightened everyone trembling, and the women of the Zhou family slowly stopped, and the public court finally restored the strict atmosphere it should have.
"A large number of women, as the family members of the seven judges of Dali Temple, insulted and cursed the plaintiff in public in the public court, and despised the court. The two crimes were punished together, and the two mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were dragged down, and each of them was punished with three degrees of cane. β
After speaking, Fu Yin threw down two red-headed sticks representing the execution.
The officials in the hall shouted, and four fierce soaps quickly came in outside, and two dragged one of them, and dragged the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law who were screaming and begging for mercy in panic to the open field between the public hall and the Yimen, and the female jailer guarding the women's prison came over, and in front of all the onlookers, forcibly stripped them of their skirts, cotton pants and small clothes, exposed their snow-white bare buttocks, and then tied them to the bench used for cane torture and began to execute.
The first class of cane punishment is ten boards, and ten strokes are added for each first class, and the third class is naturally thirty strokes, and the women are thin and tender, and they may have to die on the spot if they really hit thirty times, but Li Bo has already done a good job in the yamen, and the soap is measured in his hands, and he will not kill them, but adjust the severity of his hands at any time depending on the situation, and in the end they will only let them lie in bed for three or five months to heal their injuries.
This is what Bai Ko means, Bai Rui suffered in those years, only beat them a few boards, it is already light, and after the beating, they are not killed by themselves to find a short view, Bai Ko doesn't care about it, this kind of faceless, skinless, vicious and selfish woman, if she really dies, it will be better for the world.
The women's snow-white bare buttocks soon became bloody and blurred, and the screams gradually weakened, but the court Shangfu Yin continued to ask where the dowries that the men of the Zhou family had embezzled after they swept Bai Rui out of the house.
Zhou Hongshou had to admit that he sold the dowry, and the rest of the money was used to marry his youngest son, except for the family's expenses, including the dowry and various expenses of the marriage, as well as the new home of the young son and his wife after the separation.
"Dali Temple's seven products are commented, blatantly violating public order and good customs and social morality, embezzling the daughter-in-law's dowry, but driving the daughter-in-law and her own granddaughter out of the house, leaving her mother and daughter to fend for themselves, and killing them all, the tiger poison does not eat children, your family is not even as good as animals! For the sake of his own future and safety, he even has the face to find his daughter-in-law and wants to force him to marry, and what he has done is worthy of your official title!? β
Fu Yin blew his beard and glared, patting the shocked wood and scolding angrily.
Zhou Hongshou couldn't argue for his family, there was all the evidence, the lawsuit failed miserably, and Wang Chenan was implicated, and after the verdict of this civil case was announced, Wang Chenan had to be finished.
Seeing that the Zhou family was no longer silent, Fu Yin was shocked to pat again, announced the time for tomorrow's ascension, and allowed the convicted mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to recuperate at home as appropriate, and then announced his retirement.
And the soap Li who was executed outside was still beating, and he didn't untie the rope of his mother-in-law and daughter-in-law until he had beaten enough, his legs and thighs were already dripping with blood, there was no good skin and flesh, and the person was unconscious, but his breath was still steady, and his muscles and bones were not damaged much.
Outside the yamen, the passenger carriage of the Oujia car dealer had been waiting, and when they saw that the plaintiff and witnesses from Tianshuifang had come out, the coachmen welcomed them to the car and went back to rest.
Bai Ko took care of the housework in the house for a day, because last year the third lady came home and brought a lot of dried seafood, so this year the public high school specially sent people to the third master's place to purchase seafood, Fu Lu Shou this soup has entered the list of essential dishes for the New Year in the house, today the convoy of seafood to return to the house, directly to the ice cellar, and the purchase volume of the public is much more than last year's third lady, Bai Ko and the people in the warehouse while checking and registering to the ice cellar, busy dizzy.
The girls in Zhongming Courtyard knew that Bai Qiao couldn't take care of this side at this time, so they made dinner by themselves, and waited for Gu Yun to get home just in time for dinner.
After dinner, Gu Yun said goodnight to the elders, returned to his house and changed his clothes for going out, and after a while, Bai Qiao also wore a fur collar cloak and carried a glass lantern, and the two of them left the house from the stable, and went to the inn to meet Li Bo to understand the details of today's court.
The two of them walked out of the small door of the stable, walking in the alley under the outer wall, Gu Yun took the lantern in Bai Ko's hand and carried it himself, and held her hand with the other hand, stepping on the icy and slippery road under his feet, although it was slow, but it was also steady.
On a cold winter night, there was still snow on the ground, the doors of every house were closed, and the workshop was silent, the two walked slowly, and took a walk after dinner, and slowly arrived at the inn, slapped the door open, and saw that it was the prince of the Yeguo Mansion, and hurriedly led them upstairs to Li Bo's upper room.
Li Bo didn't sleep, he kept waiting, this was all agreed a long time ago, before the case was closed, every day Gu Yun would come over to listen to him talk about the trial that day.
The three of them talked for half an hour, what happened in the hall today was the same as expected, Zhou Hongshou's family was powerless to refute Bai Rui's evidence, and when Wang Chen'an came to the court tomorrow, he would definitely deny the private transaction with the Zhou family, and the handwritten letter that the guards designed to steal was ironclad evidence that could not be denied.
As long as there are no other accidents, this lawsuit will be pronounced in the next few days, Bai Rui will definitely be able to get her dowry back, and if she fights for it again, maybe she can get more compensation, anyway, the final result will definitely not make the Zhou family happy.
The only thing that is surprising is Wang Chen'an, if the Zhou family is telling the truth, they know that Bai Rui's exact whereabouts are all said by Wang Chen'an, then this Wang Chen'an's source is worth tracing down, is there someone behind him, one link after another, interlocking, the ultimate goal is to hold Bai Ko in someone's hands.
Bai Ko is just an official maid.
