Punishment or reward? 5
It was also the county official who was just greedy for money and didn't want to make a big fuss, but seeing that there were more and more people watching in the yamen, he had no choice but to say it.
"In that case, then we will be imprisoned first, and then tried again in the future."
The eldest young master of the Liu family touched his hat, nodded with satisfaction, and then swaggered away from the yamen.
On the other side, Lin Jin'er had woken up in the infirmary, waiting for Su Nianxu to pick her up, but after waiting for several hours, there was still no news from him.
"Yes, the man who sent you here seems to be in prison."
"What? What the hell is going on. ”
Lin Jin'er was waiting anxiously, and a young man with an apprentice came in and said to her, but Lin Jin'er was already in a coma at the time and didn't know the inside story at all.
"The man who sent you here offended the eldest young master of the Liu family, and the eldest young master of the Liu family called a few of his subordinates to take him to the county office, and now he has been locked up."
Lin Jin'er only remembered that the two of them were on the road and were knocked to the ground by a reckless man, and the others didn't remember at all.
"Doctor, can I leave?"
Lin Jin'er shook her head and stretched her limbs, and found that there was nothing unusual, so she prepared to leave.
"The girl fell and injured her head after being hit, although there is no external injury, but there may be bruises in the head, the son who sent you here has told me to take good care of you, I also took the silver, naturally I can't let you go."
"I'm really fine, or I'll find him and come back."
Lin Jin'er had already walked from under the bed to the ground, groping for the door to leave, and the doctor was in a dilemma and didn't know how to persuade him.
"Don't worry, just when I sneaked out, he naturally won't be obedient to you."
Lin Jin'er is a woman, although there are also women in the hospital, but she is not in the room at this time, and the two men can't stop them because of the difference between men and women, so they can only let her leave.
stumbling on the street, catching someone from time to time and asking, Lin Jin'er finally found the location of the county office.
Standing in front of the door, Lin Jin'er didn't know to beat the drum, just stood outside and shouted, and after a while, a servant heard the movement and ran out to see.
"What for?"
"My distant cousin seems to have been caught by you."
"What cousin, I don't know, I don't know. Stay away......"
Saying that, the official turned around and was about to leave, but Lin Jin'er hurriedly said again.
"Earlier, a man surnamed Liu said that my cousin stole his snatching bag, didn't he catch it here?"
"Oh, it's him, and we've been put in prison."
The official looked at Lin Jin'er's dress, obviously a poor ghost, and naturally knew that his master would not give convenience to this kind of person, so he waved his hand away.
"If I don't see him today, I'll go and sue the Emperor."
Although Lin Jin'er didn't know which dynasty this was, and she didn't know where the emperor was, she found the biggest head to complain, not to mention the county officials, even the prince would be afraid.
"You wait."
The official found that Lin Jin'er was not easy to deal with, so he hurriedly ran into the hall.
"Master, there is a woman outside who said that her cousin was wronged, and said that she was going to sue the royal court."
"Which cousin?"
The county magistrate asked with a disdainful expression, and was holding the pigeon in his hand to admire.
"It's the one who came with the young master of the Liu family this morning."
The servant glanced at the master beside him, and then stepped aside and waited for the master to speak.
"Sue the royal court? Amusing. ”
The county magistrate didn't seem to be worried, but the master on the side spoke.
"It's better for the master to let the woman in, if a woman encounters this kind of thing, she will cry at most, but this woman doesn't cry or make trouble and directly sues the emperor, which shows that she is a person with opinions."
When the county magistrate heard this, his eyes squinted slightly, glanced at the master, and then said to the officer.
"Then you bring someone in, run an errand by the way, and call the eldest young master of the Liu family too."
His intention is very clear, that is, to let the eldest young master of the Liu family see what he has caused, and ask for more benefits.
After about a pillar of incense, Su Nianxu was kneeling in the hall at this time, and Lin Jin'er was standing beside him.
"Why haven't you tried it yet?"
Lin Jin'er was a little impatient, and the county official also blew his beard.
"I think it's your woman, and you're blind, so I don't want to talk to you more, and you don't kneel when you come in."
"I came to testify against me, I didn't make a mistake, why do I kneel?"
As he spoke, he also dragged Su Nianxu beside him vigorously and asked him to get up too.
But Su Nianxu was beaten dozens of times before and after, and although he didn't want to kneel, he really couldn't stand up.
"Sharp teeth."
The county official snorted coldly, and the master next to him shook his head secretly, and the county official who originally wanted to play the official power didn't say anything more, waiting for the eldest young master of the Liu family.
After a long time, the sun outside looked like it was about to set, and the eldest young master of the Liu family walked into the yamen in four directions unhurriedly.
"Your Excellency."
After making a gesture, the eldest young master of the Liu family stood aside, waiting for the county official to speak.
"Liu Gongzi, there is a woman who beats the drum and says that she wants to testify for this Su Gongzi, and I hereby ask you to come and confront each other."
The eldest young master of the Liu family glanced at the county official with a displeased expression, but he still replied, and by the way, he looked at the so-called woman who came to avenge her grievances.
At this time, Lin Jin'er stood beside Su Nianxu, lowered her eyes, and looked delicate and small with a side face, and the young master of the Liu family, who was in a melon skin hat, was moved.
"Lady in the hall, let me ask you, what proof do you have to prove that your cousin did not steal this Liu Gongzi's silver?"
"Back to the master, is this Liu Gongzi's silver a silver ingot or broken silver, or a silver ticket?"
Lin Jin'er still lowered her eyes, and outsiders couldn't tell that she was blind at all.
"Silver ingots, I never go out with broken pieces."
The eldest prince of the Liu family hurriedly replied, because he saw the silver taels that Su Nianxu had taken out, and it was precisely because of this that he felt strange why a person who was dressed so ordinarily would make such a generous move.
"Then may I ask Liu Gongzi, how much silver have you lost?"
"Huh? Fifty taels, no, no...... A hundred taels? I don't remember where I got, and I don't remember how much silver I bring with me when I go out on weekdays. ”
The eldest young master of the Liu family looked like a scoundrel, and Su Nian clenched his fists angrily, but Lin Jin'er couldn't see it at all.
"That's not it, my cousin only brought ten taels of silver to bring me to treat the disease, and now it has been given to the medical center, and there is no penny on him."
Lin Jin'er came as soon as she opened her mouth, without thinking about whether she would be searched.
"Someone, search."
"Slow down, adult."
"What, scared?"
The county magistrate seemed to be very disgusted with Lin Jin'er, and felt that this woman did have a lot of things.
"My lord, my cousin came to the yamen with Liu Gongzi after the incident?"
"Of course, I grabbed him."
The eldest young master of the Liu family stiffened his neck.
"That means that he didn't have time to hide the silver, if he didn't find anything after waiting for the body search, could he cure Liu Gongzi for slander?"
Saying this, the eldest young master of the Liu family also panicked, after all, he was not completely sure.
