Chapter Twenty-Nine: An Injustice of Innocence

Leaving the house, Lisheng sat in the mansion and waited until the evening, Chunliu still did not return to the house, and the servant hurriedly came to say that the county lord sent someone to send a message, saying that the maid Chunliu in his house was sent to the official mansion for stealing, he was taken aback and didn't have time to think about it, so he hurriedly rushed to the official mansion to see how the situation was.

When Lisheng rushed to the door of the yamen, at this time, Mrs. Taishou, Mrs. Shang, Mrs. Mi and others were already sitting in the hall, and the door of the yamen was also full of people. ”

Xiancheng is a fat man in his fifties, with slender eyebrows and thick lips and a sparse beard, and he is also an old acquaintance with Lisheng, and today Lisheng also went to his house to treat her old mother.

Today's case is a little tricky, although this girl's master Lisheng has some friendship with him, but he doesn't dare to slack off when it comes to the Taishou Mansion, he watched Lisheng rush over, his hair was a little messy, and the crown was a little crooked, it seemed that he cared about this maid very much, he said seriously: "Lisheng Gongzi, this girl stole the treasure of the Taishou Mansion." ”

Lisheng looked at Mrs. Taishou, Mrs. Taishou saw Lisheng running over so excitedly, it seemed that she still cared about this little maid, but no matter how much he cared, he couldn't protect her under her heavy design.

She pretended to be angry and said: "Nephew, the maid in your house is such an unclean person, I thought she was a good child, and recognized her as my goddaughter, rewarded her with three hundred taels of silver tickets, and gave her an ice jade bracelet. ”

Li Sheng naturally didn't believe it when he heard this, this girl usually looks at her crooked brain and a little lazy, but she is not such a chicken and dog thief as Mrs. Taishou said, he was angry that he had clearly told her to guard against the people of Taishoufu, and she still had a relationship with Taishoufu, in case ......something happened, how could she protect herself as a powerless and powerless weak woman from a foreign country.

He looked at Junliu angrily and asked, "You say, what's going on?" I'm not here. ”

Chunliu looked at Lisheng, her hair was slightly messy, and her crown was slightly tilted, and she could see that she was in a hurry, and the son, who had always been meticulous about her appearance, would appear in front of everyone for her sake of decency! Although his handsome face questioned her loudly with a hint of anger, but at this moment her heart was like a warm current pouring into her heart, it was good that there was someone in a foreign land who cared about her like this!

She said a little aggrieved: "Childe, it's not me, I don't know at all, they have wronged me, I don't need to steal, as Mrs. Taishou said, I recognize her as a godmother and am afraid that there will be no good life, why bother to move a stone to my own feet." ”

Mrs. Shang also knows that this matter is not simple today, she was invited to the Taishou Mansion by Mrs. Taishou, and now she is invited to testify, she has guessed eight points in her heart, this is a trap, it has been premeditated for a long time, she and Mrs. Mi are also designed in it, they have to come to testify for their husband's official fortunes, this woman was famous in Wujiang Road that day, and will be spurned by the whole city after tomorrow, in the end she has a deep hatred with Mrs. Taishou, and she has some poisonous tricks.

Li Sheng sniffed a clue from her words, he turned to the county lord Shi Li and said, "My lord, please summon the servant who is traveling with you in the Taishou Mansion, she is also suspicious, and Madame may also be misled by the illusion." ”

Mrs. Taishou was angry, this kid seemed to want to stand up for that girl, no way, she said with a dark face: "Nephew, we will never be mistaken, so many pairs of eyes are watching, Mrs. Shang, Mrs. Mi was also present at the time."

Although Mrs. Mi's heart is a little straighter, she also knows how powerful it is, she can only stand on Mrs. Taishou's side no matter what, even if she also knows in her heart that there must be a secret in it, it is useless. She nodded, "I did." ”

The merchant nodded and said, "Yes, we all saw with our own eyes that the lost item was taken out of her package. ”

When Chunliu heard this, he immediately retorted: "Even if all the ladies saw that the things were found from my package, who saw the process of my stealing with their own eyes, and there was a maid from the Taishou Mansion who was traveling with me, and she also had the opportunity to put things into my package, she was also suspicious." ”

Mrs. Taishou said angrily: "You still dare to quibble, now that there are human and material evidence, you can't be presumptuous." "She will never allow her to have any chance to turn over, she will take away this reputation and life, and it is useless to resist.

When Li Sheng heard this, he knew Mrs. Taishou's thoughts, this is going to be hard, this crime is for her to be decided, and I don't know where this girl offended her, so she did this game so hard! It's a bit tricky. He saluted and said: "Lord County, I think this matter is full of suspicions, please make the decision to investigate the maids of the Taishou Mansion!" ”

The county lord was also very embarrassed at this time, this lady Taishou repeatedly concluded that the maid who left the mansion was a thief, how could he, a small county man, dare to brush Mrs. Taishou's face, but the prince of Lisheng is his benefactor, and he also knows many people in the snow forest country, so he can't brush his face.

He looked at Mrs. Taishou hesitantly, and asked tentatively: "Madame, if you call the maid in your house to ask, it may be that you are mistaken." ”

Mrs. Taishou brushed her sleeves and said threateningly: "It seems that the county doesn't believe in the eyes of our ladies, when our dozens of years old women are old and dizzy,." ”

The county lord looked at Mrs. Taishou's coercion, and knew in his heart that the current girl's crime of stealing was decided, and Mrs. Taishou's family was so powerful that he insisted on doing so, even if he had doubts, it was in vain. He looked at Lisheng in embarrassment.

Li Sheng snorted coldly in his heart, this Mrs. Taishou seems to be serious, and she killed Chunliu for stealing! Today's events are too strange, first confessing relatives and then stealing everything is so coincidental, even the two ladies of Shang Mi have calculated that there is no way out at all, if she doesn't bite so hard at this moment, he is not worried, now this posture is probably not as simple as letting Chunliu go to prison, this girl will definitely be in danger of life!

He bowed to Mrs. Taishou and said loudly: "Madam, I won't say whether this servant is stealing or not today, as his master, I naturally can't see that the servant in his house has caused this trouble, tarnished his reputation, and spread it out, where will my face go!" I'm going to get to the bottom of it! If she really committed theft, I will not spare it as my master! If not, the master should also return her innocence, in order to fulfill the friendship of master and servant! ”

Chunliu listened to his words and was secretly moved, she didn't expect this Lisheng to care about her so much, even if she caused such a big lawsuit, he was willing to stand up for her, she knew what it meant to offend the Taishou Mansion, she saw through this Mrs. Taishou, but she still felt sorry for her loss of her daughter, and she was caught in a trap by her, and she was willing to come to the trick to lure you into the urn! What the hell did she offend her that made her so bothered to plan.

She straightened out her emotions, and stood up straight without being humble or arrogant: "Today, Mrs. Taishou believes that I am a thief, and I don't even allow any conspiracy to investigate, I am not a thief!" Please make the decision for me, I believe that my grievances will be revealed! ”

Mrs. Taishou listened to her words, and scolded in her heart: ", you only understand now that it's too late!" Soon you won't be able to jump up and dare to insult Mrs. Ben!

She slapped the armrest of the chair hard, and roared with a hideous face: "Little girl, you did such a dirty thing and framed Mrs. Ben, there is such a truth in this world, the thief dares to insult the owner without repentance!" “

Seeing that Mrs. Taishou was angry and secretly scolded Niang Laozi, why did he let him do this kind of thing, he cleared his throat and said: "Madame is angry, Miss Chunliu, this person's evidence and physical evidence all point to you, what else do you have to say?" The government has its own decision. ”

Chunliu said categorically: "My lord, I am innocent, if I say ten thousand sentences or this sentence, please check it clearly!" ”

Li Sheng reminded: "I naturally believe that adults will deal with it fairly!" ”

Mrs. Taishou also pressured: "In this way, I will leave it to the adults, and I believe that the adults will give me a satisfactory result." ”

The county Cheng patted the shocked wood, and said majestically: "Today, I received a complaint from Mrs. Li Futai, accusing Chunliu, the maid who left the house, of stealing an ice jade bracelet from the house, a pair of heads and faces, and the witnesses Qian Yuhe, the wife of the merchant, Lu Yun, the wife of the Mi family, etc., have returned to Mrs. Li's mansion after checking that the stolen goods are true, and according to the rules, the official will temporarily take Chunliu, the maid who left the house, into custody and prison, and three days later, the case will be taken into custody and sentenced according to the laws of the country!" Retire! ”

When Chunliu heard such a result, she glanced at Lisheng, Lisheng nodded and signaled her not to be impulsive, she also understood what he meant, now there are still three days left, he will definitely think of bailing her out and washing away her grievances, if it is not good, she can only show her identity!

Several officials rushed up and took Chunliu to prison, Mrs. Taishou smiled proudly in her heart, after tomorrow, her name will be notorious in the entire Wujiang Province, and after she has had enough of scolding, she will end her life in prison! No matter how strong you are from Sheng, you can't screw the heavy plan of Taishoufu.

For the first time in her life, Junryu entered the cell, she looked at the dim cell, there was not a single bed in the cell, so a layer of straw was laid on the floor, which emitted a damp musty smell, and she vomited as soon as she walked in. The fortunate thing in the misfortune was that there were only two people in this small cell, at least it would not be too crowded, and the other small cells were all inhabited by four people huddled together, some whispering, and some were looking at her ...... coldly.

The woman in the same cell as her, in her forties, with a round face and a fat waist, was tall and tall, and she saw that the woman who had just been imprisoned was extremely beautiful, with long eyelashes that could be broken by blowing...... She saw that the woman vomited, sat on the straw and took out a handkerchief and wiped the corners of her mouth, and the anger in her heart came up! She hated this beautiful woman the most, and when she saw the beautiful woman, she remembered that the vixen had harmed her child! She walked over and said viciously: "Stay away from me, this is my territory, the old lady will shoot you to death!" ”

Chunliu sneered that there is such a person, she is not something that anyone can bully, she said coldly: "Your territory, I just want to sit, how do you stay." With that, she sat down inside.

The woman rushed over and stretched out her big palm to slap her face, but she didn't expect her hand to be restrained by her, as if she was clamped by steel, she didn't give up and stretched out her leg to attack her leg, who knew that her leg hadn't touched her, she was thrown out, she was in pain, "Ahh......h

Chunliu sat down and snorted coldly, and warned: "Let you bully people, you think I'm a bully!" No matter how much you do, you'll take your leg off next time. ”
