Chapter 339: Mutation
was returned to innocence, the old woman instantly cried with joy, and said to the little woman, "Xiao Zhen, we are innocent, innocent, haha, innocent, Xiao Zhen..."
But the little woman didn't say a word, only was held by her mother-in-law in a daze.
hugged her daughter-in-law and cried bitterly for a while, and the old woman kept kowtowing to Xue Langjing, "Thank you girl, the girl's great kindness, the old woman has nothing to repay in this life, and she will repay the girl as a cow and a horse in the next life..."
Compared with the gratitude of the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, Xue Langjing cares more about the punishment of these people.
In the end, the county decree not only did not cover them up, but punished them heavily, and blamed these false accusers, otherwise, he would not have been defrauded of thirty taels of silver by the woman.
The person who defamed him before was beaten up, while the 'plaintiff' and the other three were punished for several crimes.
The 'plaintiff' was sentenced to twenty-five rods and five taels of silver to the little woman.
The other two had fifteen canes, and the total compensation was five taels.
The dust of the whole case settled, and in order to confirm whether the matter had been written off, the county magistrate patiently asked Xue Langjing, "Does the girl still have any objections to this case?" ”
But seeing that the other party frowned and asked him, "My lord, we all have ten taels of silver to compensate, this little woman was beaten so badly, and the insult she received was thousands of times greater, and she only got ten taels, is it too inappropriate?" ”
Bastard woman, this is trying to make yourself bleed again!
The county commander's hatred for her was even worse, but he was helpless against her.
Thinking that he was a county magistrate, he was played by an ordinary woman like this, and he was even more angry when he was not big-minded.
In the end, I don't know how many times I suppressed my anger, and the county order changed the sentence to the 'plaintiff' to pay ten taels of silver, and the two 'witnesses' totaled ten taels, and he, as the county magistrate, also gave five taels of silver in order to show compassion for the people.
The little woman was to be paid twenty-five taels of silver.
As for why the county order imposed a fine on two people, he still had to pay five taels?
Naturally, it was because he understood that this woman's purpose was to take revenge on himself and make money for herself.
It's better to give less to herself and transfer everything she asks for to the other three.
It is true that Xue Langjing originally wanted to pit him for another ten taels of silver, but he didn't want this county order to be willing to pull down his face, and directly overturn his previous judgment and punish them.
But in the end, it was five taels more than she expected, and she no longer had to make inches.
When the goal was achieved, Xue Langjing bowed to the county order and said, "The adult is wise, and having a parent official like an adult is a blessing for the people of Heyuan County!" However, I still hope that the lord can send a few officials to go and get the compensation for this poor woman. ”
"Naturally, this is a matter for the official," the county magistrate said with a stiff smile.
After everyone has been executed, the case will be completely closed.
What they saw and heard today was far beyond their understanding for the onlookers, and the process of judging the case shattered their three views again and again.
Of course, their biggest feeling is not this, but the envy of the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
It was only twenty taels of silver for being roded and buttocks, and he received twenty-five taels of silver, plus the woman sent a letter before, and it was twenty taels of silver.
Forty-five taels, if you are beaten with one board, you can earn more than two taels.
At this moment, many people wish that it was themselves who were beaten.
The dust has settled.
The old woman carried her daughter-in-law with impaired mobility out of the county office, and many officials carried out the men who had no one to support and had just been tortured out of the yamen, especially the 'plaintiff' who had been beaten by Xue Langjing twice, and he didn't dare to move at all. Wonderful book
Afterwards, I saw three ox carts from outside the Yawai, two of which were used to send these men back, and the other one was naturally fought for by Xue Langjing for the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
Of course, in addition to the two of them, the other two cars are subject to a high escort fee.
At this point, Xue Langjing felt that the matter had been successfully concluded, so she chatted with the shopkeeper about the Zheng family and Zheng Linchu, and wanted to talk to him.
Just as the two were chatting engagedly, they heard a sudden 'bang' outside.
Then came the screams of the crowd.
The two of them walked briskly outside, and saw the little woman lying on the ground with her face covered in blood, and her mother-in-law lying beside her, crying and crying.
"Xiao Zhen, why are you so stupid, the kind-hearted girl has already cleared your grievances, why can't you think about it, Xiao Zhen..."
After listening to the old woman's words and the pointing and pointing of the onlookers, Xue Langjing finally understood what was going on.
It turned out that after the two came out, the little woman suddenly broke free of her mother-in-law's support, and then hit her head on the stone lion at the entrance of the yamen.
Xue Langjing couldn't figure out the little woman's behavior anyway, she was compensated so much silver, and she completely cleared her grievances, and finally got through, but she chose to commit suicide instead, what is this?
Just when Xue Langjing was 'stunned', the shopkeeper beside her had seen more of the world after all, so he hurriedly stepped forward and squatted down and probed the little woman's snort.
Then he said to the old woman, "Sister, don't panic, your daughter-in-law is still saved, don't touch her for the time being, please ask the doctor to come and see first." ”
As he spoke, he said to the man who was driving the car, "I'm sorry for this little brother to ask for a doctor for the little woman." ”
The man who was about to carry the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law answered, and ran to the nearest hospital with an ox cart.
Then, the shopkeeper came to the old woman's side again, "Sister, after your daughter-in-law rescues you, you will move the family to another place where no one knows." ”
The old woman nodded mechanically, and went back to look at her daughter-in-law.
But I heard the shopkeeper say again, "Sister Wanwang remember, whether it is the twenty-five taels sentenced by the adult, or the twenty taels of silver given by Miss Xue, it is your poor daughter-in-law who is given." ”
"The old woman understands that she will never covet half of the money," the old woman knew what he meant, and nodded back to him.
The shopkeeper replied with a salute, and then got up.
Xue Langjing, who also walked here at this time, took out the ten taels of silver tickets from his arms and handed them to the old woman, "This silver ticket is useless to me, so let's give it to her together." ”
After saying that, he left with the shopkeeper in the old woman's thanks.
On the way, the shopkeeper took the lead in breaking the silence, shook his head and sighed, "People are terrible! ”
Xue Langjing looked up at the sky, saw the birds flying freely again, and lowered his head and said to himself, "Aren't they all wronged?" ”
The shopkeeper shook his head again and said no more.
"Is a woman's chastity so important? Not even life worth mentioning in front of it? So what am I working so hard for? ”
"What the girl wants, it depends on the peace of mind, what the specific results are, and it depends on what others want, the girl must not think too much", the shopkeeper explained.
"I've been taught", Xue Langjing arched his hand at him.
The shopkeeper also waved his hand, "It's okay, wait for the girl to experience more, and you can understand it." ”
I heard Xue Langjing say again, "I still have a question, I can't figure it out anyway, and I want to ask the shopkeeper for some advice." ”
