Volume I, Chapter 42 Moral Damages

Mu Jinxi, who was walking in front, frowned when she heard this scream and continued to walk forward, her action made Cuihua even less angry, and chased after her in three steps and two steps, rushing to her and stretching out her hands to stop her.

"Didn't you hear me calling you? Are you deaf? Cuihua Willow raised her eyebrows and shouted at Mu Hibiscus.

Mu Jinxi raised her eyebrows: "I heard it, but just because I heard it doesn't mean that I have to listen to you, I can go if I like to go, stop when I like to stop, no one can order me, understand?" ”

"You! How dare you speak to me like that? Cuihua asked rhetorically, her eyes widening, pointing at herself in disbelief.

Mu Jinxi pulled the corners of her mouth mockingly and said coldly: "Zhang Cuihua, I advise you to shut up, after all, you must know what good things your mother has done, and you, maybe you are still an accomplice, and when the matter is found out, it is uncertain whether you will go to prison with you." If you have time, you might as well worry about yourself, and have the heart to trouble me, hehe, idiot! ”

Cuihua was so angry by Mu Jinxi's words that she almost lost her mind and threw herself over and tore her mouth, but was drunk by a person next to Mu Jinxi.

"Bold! Who are you who dare to stop us from running errands? Don't you want to die? ”

Cuihua looked at it and shrank for a moment, this fierce and vicious catcher made people scared when they saw it.

Seeing Cuihua's cowardice, Mu Hibiscus pulled the corners of her mouth disdainfully, and said to the catcher who came with her: "Brother Catch, it's not too early, let's leave quickly, otherwise it will be too late for you to go back." ”

Catching Kuai frowned and looked at the pale Cuihua with dissatisfaction, snorted and said, "Let's go, if someone delays my errand, hum, uncle, I will let her taste my awesomeness!" ”

"Big brother is laughing, who dares to do this." Mu Jinxi said as he led the group to the village chief's house.

When the village chief saw that Mu Jinxi had really called the official messenger, his face turned pale and he secretly complained, but before he could speak, the people said that someone reported to the official that there were villagers in Xiushui Village who had cheated a lot of money, and the county magistrate attached great importance to this matter, so let them investigate this matter thoroughly to see who was so bold.

He also said that he was the village chief, and it was his responsibility to assist them in investigating the case, and asked the village chief to take them to the house of the two families, and they would search it.

Seeing that things had reached such a point, the village chief had no choice but to take the group to Zhang Dade, that is, Cuihuaniang's house.

At Zhang Dade's house, Cuihua had just returned, so she told her father and mother about the matter, and she came to the house as soon as the words fell.

Cuihua Niang is usually very spicy and brutal, but this is limited to the villagers, once she meets any big person, she will immediately be paralyzed, as if she saw a fierce face at this time, followed by a few officials, scared that her face was bloodless, her hands and feet were weak, if it wasn't for Zhang Dade to help her, she might have sat on the ground.

"Who is Zhang Lee?"

Yes, Cuihua Niang was originally surnamed Li, and Li Chili was married from the same village, and the two not only wanted to have the same surname, but also had the same personality. The same rudeness and unreasonableness, the same greed for small gains, deception of good and fear of evil.

"I, I, I am, sir, please, may I ask if there is something?" Cuihua Niang stumbled in response.

Zhu Kuai frowned, and shouted: "Someone reported to the official that you deceived their family of a hundred taels of silver, but is there such a thing?" ”

Cuihua Niang reflexively shouted: "Official, wronged, where does a woman have the courage to do such a thing?" Official, don't be deceived by someone with a heart! ”

"Bold! You mean to say Uncle Ben, I'm a fool, don't you? Since you don't admit it, then search and you'll know! It's just that if the time comes to find out that there is really silver, then you are a sin on top of a crime! Sin is one more! ”

Cuihua Niang's legs were weak, her eyes were frightened, and she trembled her lips and said, "Folk women...... Women's ......"

Mu Jinxi looked at Cuihuaniang dying and struggling, and said coldly: "Cuihuaniang, this is your last chance, if it is really searched, you will be taken back to the town and imprisoned!" ”

Zhang Dade, who was weak in temperament and had no opinions, knelt down and shouted: "The official spares his life, we still return, we also ask the official to be lenient and give Xiaomin a chance to change!" ”

As soon as Zhang Dade's words came out, Cuihua Niang suddenly wilted, and understood that there was no way to reverse the matter, and it was a foregone conclusion, so she also threw herself on the ground and cried: "The woman knows that she is wrong, beg the official to spare her life, the woman will never dare to do it in the future, ask the official to give the woman a chance to change!" ”

"I knew why I had to do it today! Give your face shameless, Miss Mu has given you so many chances, you don't know how to cherish it, you don't admit your mistake until you reach a dead end, look for a draw! Don't hurry up and return the money! Catch the fast mouth and shouted to Cuihua Niang. didn't give any face at all, so that Cuihua Niang's face was red and white for a while.

Cuihua Niang didn't dare to say anything even if she was resentful in her heart, so she quickly ran into the house and took out the silver, looked at the expressionless Mu Hibiscus, gritted her teeth and said to the catcher with a smile on her face: "Official, the silver is here, here." ”

Instead of answering, he asked Mu Jinxi: "Miss Mu, are you right or wrong to look at the number of trees in this silver?" ”

Cuihua Niang's face changed, Mu Jinxi snatched the cloth bag, looked at it, and sneered: "Cuihua Niang, are you playing me, or are you playing our big brother to catch fast?" My mother said that she borrowed a whole hundred taels of silver from you, but is there a hundred taels of silver here? ”

Zhu Kuai also glanced at it, and immediately said angrily: "At a glance here, you can see that there is no one hundred taels of silver!" You are so bold, you dare to play tricks on the people of the government, come on, directly hit ten boards first! ”

"Official, official, wait, wait! The silver is a hundred taels of silver, but ...... But we've already spent a little bit, so it's less than a hundred taels, it's not us who is playing with you! Cuihua Niang hurriedly explained.

"If you spend it, pay it back! A hundred taels is a hundred taels! Not a penny is missing! ”

"Yes, yes, we must pay it back, but can you give us a little time? We don't have any money now, and when we earn it, we'll pay it back! ”

"Miss Mu, what do you think?" Catch and ask Mu Jinxi.

Mu Jinxi pretended to think about it and sighed: "Brother Catch quickly, we are also neighbors, and I can't do too much, but you also know that my silver is in a hurry, and if I can't make it up now, the shopkeeper will ...... there."

Catching his eyes, he turned his eyes and said, "That's it, you can pay back the money within three days, and you must give a certain amount of compensation!" In addition to the silver you spent, you will also compensate Miss Mu with two taels of silver as a mental loss fee! ”

Zhang Dade's family was dumbfounded, and then Cuihua Niang fainted.

Zhu Kuai didn't care whether she was dizzy or not, she just widened her eyes and asked Zhang Dade viciously: "Zhang Dade, do you agree to do this?" ”

Where did Zhang Dade dare to say no, he nodded and agreed busily.

Then he said to Mu Jinxi: "Miss Mu, since they promised to repay the silver and promised to make compensation, I think this matter is over, after all, you are also neighbors, right, it is not good for you to make too much trouble." ”

Mu Jinxi said with a smile: "Since the big brother has spoken, then I will give you a face, forget it this time, but what if they regret it afterwards?" ”

"They dare! If they dare to repent, you come to me, and I will put their whole family in a prison cell! ”

Mu Jinxi couldn't help but smile and said gratefully: "Then thank you for catching Brother Kuai first." Let's go to the next one, that one borrows a little less, but there are a few dozen taels......"

Mu Jinxi and the group gradually drifted away, and slowly they could no longer hear their voices.

And Zhang Dade's family wants to cry without tears, it is really impossible to steal chickens and rice!
