Chapter 224 Punishment
Hearing the guard's words, Tian Mai relieved himself and waited for the arrival of the people from the yamen with peace of mind.
After handing over the matter to the yamen, they were going to continue on their way.
It's just that she didn't expect that the county magistrate would come over in person.
Tian Mai looked at the county order who was a little older and wrote to her, and quickly stood up and saluted him back, and explained the matter in detail.
After hearing the county order, his angry beard kept shaking, he never thought that under his governance, this kind of thing would happen, wasn't this a slap in the face?
"Ma'am, where are the prisoners kept?"
Tian Mai said that they were locked up next door, and he took him to see it twice.
If there is a county order to be in charge of it personally, then she can rest assured.
"These people have done a lot of evil, and they don't know how many lives they have on their hands, so they must be severely punished."
If these people are not severely punished, it will be impossible for them to change their ways.
The county had a serious face, nodded and said that he would, and he would not let go of a bad person easily.
The stakes are high, and he has to pass things up and let the people above make up their minds.
After solving the bad guy's matter, Tian Mai glanced at Cai Xiaoli, who was standing next to her silently, and said her request again, asking if the county order was okay?
Since some people want to leave, then she will help.
The county magistrate nodded and said yes, he would arrange it.
The person in front of him is General Zhao's wife, and if you can't, you can't.
Besides, if he gets these things done and finds someone to run it, maybe he can go up a little further.
He had been in this position for so long, and he had long wanted to go up, maybe what was in front of him was an opportunity.
Tian Mai snorted, then turned to look at Cai Xiaoli and asked her to pack her things too.
Cai Xiaoli hid behind Tian Mai and asked her worriedly, "Madam, will the county magistrate really help us?" He's not going to let the bad guys go, is he? She was worried that the county magistrate was unreliable and would let those beasts go.
Tian Mai patted the back of his hand lightly and said with a smile that he wouldn't.
If the prefectural order still wants to make a performance, it is impossible to let go of those brutes.
"Husband...... Madame, are you leaving so soon? If I don't send us off, I don't see you, I feel very uncertain. ”
Tian Mai has a convincing momentum, she believes in Tian Mai.
After taking a closer look at Cai Xiaoli, Tian Mai thought about it for a while, and decided to stay for one more day, and then go on the road after the case was over.
Just be a good person to the end and send the Buddha to the West!
"Then I'll be on my way when you're gone."
Hearing this, Cai Xiaoli's face showed surprise, and she solemnly thanked Tian Mai.
Madame's heart is good, so dedicated to helping these strangers they have never met.
Tian Mai waved her hand gently, so that she was not polite.
After saying this, she thought of Cai Xiaoli's two children, and asked her again, what about her two children?
When Cai Xiaoli heard this, she was silent again, she was also very entangled in her heart, and she hadn't decided what to do?
Tian Mai raised his hand and patted her on the shoulder, and said, the child is innocent.
With that, she turned and walked to the room, intending to wake the children up.
As soon as she entered the room, she saw Qian sitting motionless on the bed with her two children in her arms.
She walked over quickly, "Woke up?" ”
When the two children saw Tian Mai, they called out loudly and threw themselves into her arms.
Tian Mai hugged them hard, kissed their little foreheads again, and asked them if they were hungry?
The two little ones hung on her body and said coquettishly that they were hungry.
"Shall you bear with it a little longer? Wait to go to the inn and have breakfast. ”
"Okay......" the two little ones replied in unison.
Qian looked at Tian Mai and asked her in a low voice, is the matter resolved, and they can go on the road?
"The county magistrate brought people here, and the prisoners were handed over to the magistrate and they took them back, but we stayed for one more day and felt that there was no problem before we went on the road."
Tian Mai said whatever he wanted, and Qian nodded.
After the two helped the two little ones get dressed, they carried them out of the room.
"Madam, is this the young master and the young lady?" After the county magistrate saw it, he asked with a smile.
Tian Mai nodded and said yes, and asked the little guy to greet the county order.
The two little ones called grandpa in a milky voice.
The county magistrate touched his body and found that he didn't bring a greeting gift, so he smiled a little awkwardly and said that he would go back and make up for it.
Tian Mai's hand said no.
"Yes, yes."
To avoid continuing to entangle this topic, Tian Mai smiled and changed the topic, "Those children in the village, if you want to trouble the county commander, you should think about how to place them." "She can't help her here, so she can only hand it over to the county order.
The county magistrate nodded again and said yes, saying that he would arrange it properly.
As he spoke, the women who wanted to leave came back with their burdens, each with their own children by their side.
Seeing this scene, Tian Mai nodded with relief, they were not ruthless people, and they still wanted to bring their own children.
"My lord, these are women who want to leave, and I have to trouble you."
The county magistrate glanced at it and answered again.
"County ...... Lord County, do the men in our family have to go to jail? A woman asked.
The county order said not necessarily, and he had to be interrogated before he could make a decision.
If you commit a crime that is too serious, it is not as simple as going to prison.
It's a pity that the women didn't hear the meaning of the county order, and they thought that their men didn't have to go to prison, so they were slightly relieved.
In their hearts, they feel that after all, they are the child's father, and they can't be indifferent.
Not everyone hates her man like Cai Xiaoli.
"Ma'am, are you ready to go?" The county magistrate looked at the sky for a moment, and then turned his head and asked Tian Wheat.
If you travel a little later, it will be very hot.
Tian Mai looked around, but didn't see Cai Xiaoli, so he said to wait a little longer.
I don't know where Cai Xiaoli went?
"Didn't you see Cai Xiaoli?"
As soon as the words fell, Cai Xiaoli's voice came, "Madam, I'm here." ”
Hearing the sound, Tian Mai saw Cai Xiaoli coming back with the two children, and she couldn't help but smile on her face, happy for the two children, their mother did not abandon them.
Cai Xiaoli said a little guiltily, "Thank you, madam." If it weren't for her, she wouldn't have figured it out, and she wouldn't have thought about taking her two children with her.
She felt that Madame was right, that the children were innocent, that they had her blood on them, and that she should not abandon them.
Their father would go to jail, and if she abandoned them again, they were still so young that they didn't know how to live.
Tian Mai curled the corners of her mouth and said that she had figured it out by herself.
She couldn't figure it out herself, she said it was useless to have more.
"My lord, it's time to go."
The county order responded with a good word, waved his big hand, and said back to the yamen.
Tian Mai and Qian took their two children into the carriage, but fortunately, Cai Xiaoli's village has an ox cart, and they can go by ox cart without walking.
In order to prevent children from seeing their father being caught, it hurts their little hearts.
Tian Mai discussed with the county magistrate, and let some of the officials leave with the prisoners in advance.
When she went to the yamen, Tian Mai got out of the carriage and pulled Cai Xiaoli aside, asking her to tell the women not to take the children into the yamen to watch their father being judged.
Seeing his own father go to prison will definitely hurt them.
Cai Xiaoli nodded heavily, said that she knew, and turned around to tell those women.
After discussion, it was decided to leave a few people in place to watch the children, while the others went to the yamen to listen to the trial.
Cai Xiaoli must go, she doesn't watch those animals go to prison, she is unwilling.
Tian Mai looked at Qian's family, then at the two children and said, "Sister, why don't you take the two children to the inn to eat first, I'll stay and take a look, and then I'll go to the inn to find you when I'm done." ”
Qian was also afraid that the two children would be hungry, "Okay, you pay attention to your own safety." ”
"I will." Tian Mai told her not to worry, looked down at Xiao Baozi again, and touched his little head, "Zhuangzhuang, I handed over my aunt and sister to you, you have to help me take care of them." ”
As if he had taken on a major task, Xiao Baozi patted his little chest hard, saying that he would take care of his aunt and sister.
Tian Mai praised him, and asked the guards to escort them to the inn, while she entered the yamen.
As soon as she entered, she heard the voices of the prisoners shouting that they had been wronged.
Treat unjustly?
She laughed coldly, if they were wronged, no one would be wronged.
"Bah, you brutes, I don't know how many lives have been stained on your hands, and you are embarrassed to shout wronged?" Cai Xiaoli couldn't help jumping out, blushing angrily, and snorting at them, "Aren't you afraid that those unjust souls who died will come to you in the middle of the night to ask for their lives?" Yes? ”
"Third child, take care of your mother-in-law."
The boss of the prisoner glanced at the third child with a cold look, if it weren't for the third child not taking care of his mother-in-law, they would not have been arrested.
The male owner of the farmer's house is also the third child, he gritted his teeth and gurgled, turned his head to glare at Cai Xiaoli, and kowtowed like a county order.
"Lord County Commander, my mother-in-law has a bit of a problem with her brain, don't listen to her nonsense, we are simple farmers, it is impossible to kill people." When he gets out, see how he cleans her up.
When Cai Xiaoli heard his words, she yelled loudly that he was sick.
"Silence, silence." The county magistrate knocked on the startling wood hard, glanced at the prisoner, and then turned to Cai Xiaoli, "Who is in the hall?" Register your name. ”
Cai Xiaoli took a deep breath, knelt down with a plop, respectfully reported her name, and told all the crimes committed by the third child without asking the county order.
As soon as the words fell, the people gathered at the door heard it and began to talk in an uproar.
They pointed at the third child, and they never imagined that there would be such a person who was inferior to the beast.
The county order knocked hard twice again, and after everyone was quiet, they looked at the third child with sharp eyes and asked them if it was true?
