Chapter 41: The Sin of Theft

Several people immediately came out from behind him, and together they slammed the door open.

It was already a mess inside, and Wang Xiuli was sitting on the ground covered in injuries, her legs twisted in a strange posture, and she knew that her legs had been broken at a glance.

The headscarf on his head was also torn open in the chaos, revealing a chicken-sized scar on the top of his head, and the pus inside was mixed with blood and flowed out.

Everyone who saw it felt disgusting.

At this time, Wang Xiuli didn't care about the sharp pain in her legs, and grabbed the headscarf scattered to the ground in a panic, wanting to wrap her head again.

And the Yin clan on the side was still holding a rattan and pumping it on her.

Yuan Jinning, who was supposed to be the most angry, stood aside indifferently, allowing the Yin clan to beat people, and never said a word.

The onlookers were feeling disgusting, where did they think of helping Wang Xiuli intercede?

It was the patriarch, who frowned: "What's going on?" ”

He spoke, and the Yin clan had to stop his movements first, even if he was arrogant.

She spat at Wang Xiuli fiercely: "Phew! This stole the family's money. ”

Saliva mixed with an unpleasant breath fell on Wang Xiuli's face, and she almost vomited in disgust.

But he had to endure it, and coupled with the severe pain in his legs, his whole face was distorted a little terrible.

At this time, the crowd had already exploded, and the whispers continued.

"What? Stealing money? Wang, she is so confused? ”

The most despised people in the clan are people with unclean hands and feet, if Wang Xiuli is really stealing, naturally it will not end well.

For a while, all kinds of disdainful eyes were cast towards Wang Xiuli.

"I didn't, I didn't steal money."

If the charge of stealing is confirmed, the best outcome that awaits her is to be abandoned, but she cannot be abandoned now.

Yin had expected her to quibble, so he casually threw a heavy bag of silver coins at her feet: "This is from your room, and you dare to quibble." ”

In fact, the Yin clan didn't know what was in Yuan Jinning's money bag, although he had to take it out and count it every day, he never let her get close, so when he saw Wang Xiuli's money bag, he looked so angry.

She thought that the one in Wang Xiuli's room was Yuan Jinning's money bag.

And she put it in the rat hole in the corner, if she hadn't searched carefully, she would have almost missed the past, isn't this a ghost in her heart, what is it?

As for Yuan Jinning, he had already discovered that Wang Xiuli's money bag was not his, but in this way, his face was even more gloomy.

Hiding so much silver behind his back is obviously harboring evil intentions.

This is something he will never tolerate.

"Now that the evidence is overwhelming, what else do you have to say?" It was Yuan Canzhi, who said this, who was always watching coldly, and he wanted to confirm Wang Xiuli's charge of stealing, so that he would have a reason to divorce his wife and marry another.

So it doesn't matter who the money bag is.

"No, it's not, it's my own, I didn't steal it from home."

Yin snorted coldly: "Who doesn't know that your mother's family is a broken family?" Can I give you that much money? ”

In fact, when Wang Xiuli said this, not only the Yin family, but also no one believed it.

If a peasant family marries a daughter, who is willing to marry gold and silver property?

And it's still such a heavy bag.

What is the situation of Wang Xiuli's mother's family, they don't know, how can they take so much money out.

Even the patriarch furrowed his eyebrows in disgust at Wang Xiuli.

"Wang, now that the evidence is conclusive, you still confess your tricks, and you can suffer less flesh and skin."

Wang Xiuli looked up at the unkind eyes of the Yin clan, coupled with the angry eyes of the people in the clan, she was also a little unbearable: "Yes...... It was given to me by a noble man. ”

"Noble? Why did the noble man give you so much money? ”

Before Wang Xiuli could speak, someone in the crowd said, "Li Zheng is here." ”

The main duty of this dynasty is to supervise the year, and the people above are worried that the people in their clan will protect each other, so they specially sent a foreigner to serve as the lizheng.

But the prestige of the patriarch of the Yuan clan in Shangyuan Village is too strong, and he is not very prominent here on weekdays, but he will be more attentive when he receives the New Year's endowment, and other trivial matters are all avoided.

It's rare to take the initiative now.

The patriarch's eyes also flashed with surprise, but after all, Li Zheng was a person sent from above, and since the person came, it was not good to give him too little face, so he took the lead in welcoming him.

The two saluted each other, and Li Zheng's eyes fell on Wang Xiuli: "I heard that this woman committed the crime of theft?" ”

When the patriarch heard this, he glanced at Wang Xiuli out of the corner of his eyes, and said truthfully: "I'm asking." ”

"What do you ask?"

"She only shouted grievances, but she never confessed anything."

After listening to this, Li Zheng looked at Wang Xiuli, who was weak-hearted, with a little deep meaning, and said: "Now that there are human and material evidence, where can she be allowed to cry out for injustice?" Directly twisted to see the official, right and wrong have their own county order adults to distinguish between right and wrong. ”

Li Zheng said this, and the patriarch naturally only nodded.

For Wang Xiuli, he doesn't have a good impression of her selfishly, and he has no intention of saying good things for her at all.

They all knew very well that if Wang Xiuli was really convicted of theft, it would never end well.

According to the laws of this dynasty, stealing a piece of silk will cost you 60 rods, and one more horse will be punished by one more degree, and the maximum sentence will be 3,000 li of exile.

Wang Xiuli is only a woman, and after such a punishment, she will shed her skin if she doesn't die.

Everyone understands something, how could Wang Xiuli herself not know: "I was wronged, I was wronged, I didn't steal." ”

At this time, she was in a panic, and she had completely forgotten the pain on her body, and she only knew that she could not be sent to the official like this.

But the more she was like this, the more impatient Li Zheng became: "Shut her mouth." ”

Wang Xiuli was kidnapped like this, Yuan Jinning's family looked at it coldly, and the people in the clan could only shake their heads when they saw this, and no one sympathized with Wang Xiuli.

I just feel that she is to blame and deserves it.

And those who knew about it wished that Wang Xiuli could be convicted for this, so that they could take her property for themselves.

At this time, the system figured out the deep meaning of Yuan Lingchen's approach: "You have long known that Yuan Jinning's temperament of treating wealth as his life will take Wang Xiuli's money as his own, and will take her crime of theft seriously, Yuan Can's nature is cold, and he has long disliked Wang Xiuli, so naturally he will not intercede for her, but will clap his hands." ”

In this way, even if Wang Xiuli died, everyone shouted and beaten, and what she wanted to inflict on the Shen family at the beginning was all for her to bear by herself.

She was still thinking about why the host didn't kill Wang Xiuli directly, but now she knew that she was going to borrow a knife to kill people, and let Wang Xiuli suffer the consequences, even if she died, she would be spurned by everyone.

"No, I wasn't sure it would be."

If you want to confirm the name of Wang Xiuli's theft, it means giving up Yuan Jinning's lost money bag, which is the result of choosing one of the two, and on the premise that he is expected to recover his money bag, Yuan Jinning may not be willing to do so.

At most, relying on the identity of an elder, he forced Wang Xiuli to hand over the money to him for safekeeping.

Of course, this is somewhat detrimental to his reputation, but in front of money, Yuan Jinning has always been the first to be profitable.

Only when he puts aside his interests will he think about his reputation, which has long been lost.

Now that so many days have passed, his own money bag is like evaporating from the world, and he can't find the slightest clue, even Yuan Jinning himself, I'm afraid he realizes that the money bag can't come back.

And in front of him, there was a ready-made money bag.

The money in this purse was no less than what he had lost.

In this way, whether Wang Xiuli lives or dies is all in Yuan Jinning's thoughts.

"But there's still something that doesn't make sense. Wang Xiuli made a generous move, and the Yin family should have noticed that she was not short of money in hand, why didn't she make trouble earlier? ”

"Originally, Wang Xiuli had the upper hand, and she could trample my mother under her feet with just a few words, and she didn't need to bribe others with silver money at all, she really started to use silver money to open the way, starting from Yuan Lingqin, but Yuan Lingqin died later, and others didn't know what she had promised, and then in order to spread rumors, she gave those women a three-foot silk, she was afraid that she would forget, the woman's mouth was the most secret, and this matter would sooner or later reach the ears of Yuan Jinning and the Yin family."

"In this way, Wang Xiuli bribed people with things, is it a stupid trick?"

"Otherwise, why do you think the Yin clan is staring at her house and searching, it's just a pretext."

"Maybe Yuan Jinning didn't expect to be able to find so much money from Wang Xiuli, so he simply didn't do anything and charged her with theft......"

"Yes, Wang Xiuli's mother's family is poor, if it weren't for her carelessness, how could Yuan Jinning suspect her?"
