Chapter 53: Fifty Boards
"Fourth master, this, there is no evidence that someone was killed, and I can't sentence him if I want to!"
"Who said no, I can bring the witnesses you want, you can open your eyes and show me." Zhou Yunli clapped his hands heavily after speaking, and soon two of his subordinates pressed a family of three into the court.
"This ......" The county official was stunned for a moment.
Wen Changping, who had been panicking all along, saw this family of three, and immediately jumped up: "It's them." This girl poured me water that day, and she was the one who slept next to me that day. You're not dead! ”
Wen Changping dragged the girl at this time and didn't let go, shouting: "Hurry up and return my innocence in front of everyone, and tell them that I Wen Changping has never treated you lightly!" ”
At this time, I saw that the family of three pressed their heads very low, and the girl couldn't wait to bury her head in the ground.
The county magistrate suddenly came to his senses at this time and said, "Fourth master, since the three members of this family are all present, and the third son did not kill anyone, then this case is simpler." Now release people, everyone is happy, everyone is happy. ”
"Will the case be decided?" Zhou Yunli scolded at this time, and the frightened county official was silent and retreated.
Zhou Yunli retracted his cold gaze at this time, looked at the family of three kneeling in a row and said, "Now tell me what happened 1510, so that you can be exempted from the death penalty!" ”
As soon as he heard that the capital crime could be avoided, the man of the family hurriedly kowtowed to thank him, and then said in an official dialect with a thick dialect: "My lord, the villain was also bought by someone after being blinded by lard for a while."
We came all the way to Jiangcheng to join our relatives, and whoever thought that our relatives were long gone, they could only find a place to settle down. But if you want to live, you don't need money.
Others see me as a foreigner, and they don't need me, I haven't worked for three days, and it's hard .......to feed my family."
When the man was complaining, the county magistrate glanced blankly and said, "Hurry up and get down to business!" ”
The man pursed his lips and said, "The main thing is that this woman gave me a lot of silver, and asked me to perform with my daughter and my wife, and then sent us away."
By the way, the medicine in the water that the young master drank that day was mixed in by this woman herself. ”
The man said as he stretched out his hand to Hsieh.
Everyone then suddenly realized that it was really the fairy jump made by the mother-in-law surnamed Xie.
At this time, everyone aimed at Xie Shi one after another, and some of them couldn't see it, so they directly threw the egg and salt bags in their hands in the direction of Xie Shi.
Xie Shi's bright skirt was stained with a lot of dirt, and he wanted to go to the master for help, but what he got was Wen Mengting's eyes containing monstrous anger.
Xie knew that he had stepped on the tiger's tail, so he had to apologize timidly, and by the way, he also staged a bitter scene.
"Sir, I know I shouldn't have done this. No matter what Changping says, he is your son, and I shouldn't hurt him. But have you ever thought about me, thought about Changzhi, his leg can never get better anymore, how much my heart hurts! ”
Xie Shi gently wiped his tears with a handkerchief as he spoke, and then said, "And I did so much, just to force this plague god away." If she stays, she will harm the master's hard work and our family, you may remember how happy our family was when she didn't come back, but now everything has changed. ”
Xie's crying was higher than one, and finally he cried over Wen Mengting's anger that had finally ignited against her.
But someone has to suffer this fault, and he naturally put the culprit on Wen Tang's body.
Since there were no casualties, the old man left with his family. In the final analysis, it is the old man's family matter, whether it is wrong or punished, we will close the door and solve it ourselves. ”
Wen Mengting said that he was about to lead Xie Shi away, but he didn't think about it, and was stopped by the person who seized the private property.
Wen Mengting was furious, turned around and said, "Why does the fourth master always care about other people's family affairs!" Do you have to kneel down and beg you to let him go? ”
Zhou Yunli said in a deep voice with his back hand: "Mr. Wen, today you just knocked out a hole in this court, and I will also arrest your wife." ”
Xie Shi was frightened at this time and hurriedly hid behind Wen Mengting, and then heard Wen Mengting say: "Fourth Master, is this person dead?" Since she is not dead, my wife has not committed any heinous wrongs, so what are you going to blame?
On the contrary, I still think that this family behaves vulgarly, misbehaves, misbeliefs the public, and reverses black and white, who knows if my wife was deceived by them at the beginning. ”
"Huh~ Why are you so wronged by a good person. How can we, as long as we have a full stomach, do such things that violate our conscience? As soon as the man heard that he had been bitten back, he was immediately anxious, and then explained: "I remembered that it was not only her who came to look for me that day, but also a lame man following behind."
At that time, I still heard the man say that as long as the plague god left, he would feed her brother a big paste every day to vent his anger. My lord, that's an accomplice, and they should be arrested together. ”
As soon as Xie Shi heard that his son might be arrested, he immediately rushed out and said: "I did this alone, I spent money to find someone from beginning to end, and I was alone in the drug, and it has nothing to do with Changzhi, and it has nothing to do with Changzhi." ”
Zhou Yunli didn't have time to listen to her explanation, so he immediately asked Xie Shi to be arrested, and then looked at Wen Mengting and said, "Such a poisonous woman actually designed to frame her own children.
If such a person is not severely punished, he may teach the world badly in the future. The death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be escaped, press down, first beat her fifty boards, and then put her in prison, squatting for three years, if she does not repent at that time, she will never think of coming out again in this life. ”
"Master, save me, I don't want to go to jail, I don't want to go to jail!"
Xie collapsed to the ground in fright, holding Wen Mengting's leg stiffly, for fear of being dragged away.
Wen Mengting wanted to take Xie away, but Zhou Yunli had already ordered her to go down, and he gave her such an unforgivable hat.
Now he could only look at Wen Tang and said, "Wen Tang, let you Sanniang go, if you have anything to say, go back and say it slowly." ”
Wen Tang said coldly: "Dad, I have no official or position, and I don't have the right to say that I will put it in." You have to ask the county lord about this. ”
Wen Mengting was attacked by Wen Tang's anger, he coughed violently a few times, and then clutched his chest and looked at the county official.
Where is the majesty of the current county official, in front of Zhou Yunli, he is as docile as a cat.
smiled at Zhou Yunli with a shy face, and then ignored Wen Mengting, and ordered to the outside world: "Come on, don't take the Xie family down and beat fifty boards!" ”
"My lord......" Wen Mengting still wanted to request.
The county magistrate glanced at him, snorted and said, "What! You still want to shield this poisonous woman, and you won't be able to go to prison together then! ”
Wen Mengting was taken aback and stepped back.
Several officials forcibly dragged Xie Shi to the bench and performed in front of everyone.
After fifty boards, Xie's bright splendid dress was soaked in blood, and it was miserable.
The official dragged Xie Shi, who was already dying, down, and looked at the slight blood stains on the stick on the ground, Wen Mengting fainted suddenly.
