Chapter 54 The fate of the Li family
Yu Wenxiu noticed Yang Xiaotao's surprised gaze, and his expressionless face, when he looked at Yang Xiaotao, it turned into a little pride, as if to say, how about it, I'm amazing, worship me!
Yang Xiaotao could only throw a blank eye at this scoundrel to him.
After a while, Huang was carried in, looking at the blurred flesh and blood on Huang's buttocks, Yang Xiaotao was the first time to see the punishment of the ancients, and it was really ruthless.
At this time, Huang was paralyzed on the wooden frame, and he couldn't even use the strength to speak, Li Xi'er had tears in her eyes, and wanted to step forward to check her mother's injury, but she was forced by the presence of the county master, so she could only bite her lip fiercely, and looked at Yang Xiaotao who was standing on the side viciously.
And Li Ming, whose whole face was red and swollen, was also grinning in pain.
At this time, the county magistrate who was seated made another "snap", and knocked on the shocking wooden road, "Who is under the hall, who is the complaint, what is the so-called thing?" ”
At this time, Li Daye straightened his thin waist and said, "The grass people are Li Daye, a villager from Xiaoxi Village, who sued Yang Xiaotao from the same village for selling the treasures of the ancestral house of the grass people to make a profit. ”
Li Daye didn't expect that as soon as he arrived at the Yamen, his mother-in-law and son were beaten, and since the matter had reached this point, there was no way out, so he could only rush forward with his eyes closed.
"And who they are?" The county magistrate motioned to the other kneeling others and asked again.
Li Daye clenched his hands into fists, kowtowed and said, "These are grass people's sons, daughters, mothers-in-law, and daughters-in-law!" ”
The county master looked thoughtfully at Yang Xiaotao who was standing and said, "Boss Yang, is this matter true?" ”
Yang Xiaotao is in Xianghe Town, and now she is also famous, and the food in her restaurant is liked by everyone, and so is the natural county master.
Yang Xiaotao listened to Li Daye's words, the corners of her mouth smiled sarcastically, and when she saw the county magistrate asking her, she immediately said, "My lord, I came today, and the little girl is asking you to be right." ”
"Huh?" The county magistrate listened to Yang Xiaotao's words and touched his beard with some interest.
"The Li family said that the little girl stole the treasure in his ancestral house, and wanted to drive the little girl out of the village, and also seized all my family property, please be a correct, if this is all framed by the Li family, then the Li family will hand over all the family property to repair the academy in our Xiaoxi Village, and their family must also leave the village!" When Yang Xiaotao said this, there was no negotiation, and she was extremely firm.
"We are the plaintiffs, why, oops! Why do you do what you say? Li Ming covered his already red and swollen face, he had already thought about it just now, since he had already made trouble in the Yamen, his mother had beaten the drum of grievances, naturally they were the plaintiffs, and directly sued Yang Xiaotao, even if the East Window incident happened, it would be better than being bankrupt.
Yang Xiaotao listened to Li Ming's words, a trace of shrewdness flashed in her eyes, this Li Ming still has some brains, however, Yang Xiaotao hooked the corners of her mouth and smiled, "My lord, the Li family accused the little girl of stealing the treasure in their ancestral house, but they couldn't tell what the baby was, can they still sue?" ”
"Smack!" After listening to Yang Xiaotao's words, the county master frowned, grabbed his hand directly, and patted it in shock, then looked at the Li family and said sharply, "Are you guys teasing this official?" ”
Li Ming suddenly trembled and said, "No, my lord, then do as she says, the little ones don't dare!" ”
I have to say that although the county master is a little lustful, he is still a fair person, he carefully inquired about the relationship between Yang Xiaotao and the Li family, how the conflict between the two families occurred, and then let the master on one side be recorded, and the village chief also played the role of distinguishing between the true and false between the adult families.
After asking after some words, the county magistrate directly said, "Smack!" He was shocked, and said loudly, "Pass on the Li family witness!" ”
Immediately afterwards, I saw two catchers walking in with a young man, the man was obviously a little frightened, his body had been trembling slightly, and as soon as he arrived in the hall, he knelt down with a thud.
The county magistrate asked loudly, "Who is kneeling in the hall, report your name!" ”
The man was startled by the county magistrate's sudden inquiry, but he immediately said, "The grass people are called Dingzi." ”
Yang Xiaotao looked at the man, her slender eyebrows and eyes, which made her feel like she had seen it somewhere, but she couldn't remember it for a while.
"What evidence do you have to prove that Yang Xiaotao stole and sold the things in the Li family's ancestral house?" The county master's inquiring voice was very majestic, as if he was intimidating the people under the hall that they couldn't tell lies.
Dingzi was frightened by the inquiring gaze of the county master, and he was a little incoherent, but just now Li Ming's daughter-in-law secretly warned him that as long as he was bitten to death, he would be fine, and once he let go, not only would the Li family be unlucky, but he would also suffer.
Thinking of this, Dingzi immediately gritted his teeth and said, "My lord, the grass people are the masons who built a house for Boss Yang's family, once I saw Boss Yang in the soil pit where we laid the foundation, planing something, followed by, she took out a bag full of dirt cloth and hurriedly ran out, at that time the grass people also saw Boss Yang very happy, as if picking up something amazing. ”
As soon as Dingzi said that he was a mason who built a house for Yang Xiaotao's family, Yang Xiaotao reacted, it turned out to be like this, no wonder he felt familiar, but this person said that when he saw that he dug up the treasure, it seemed that he was colluding with the Li family, and a trace of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes, daring to frame her?
"But is there anyone else who sees it?" The county magistrate continued to ask.
Dingzi immediately shook his head and waved his hand and said, "No, just a small person saw it, everyone left after work that day, and the small urgency of urination was discovered by chance." ”
At this time, there were already a lot of people watching the excitement outside the yamen, but a few familiar voices and shadows were also crowded in the crowd, Yuwen Xiu didn't move, and glanced at the white night in the dark, and the dark night immediately disappeared in place.
"Yang Xiaotao, what else do you have to say?" This time it was Li Xi'er who called out anxiously, and she regretted it as soon as she finished speaking, when she went to the yamen today, she actually suffered a board from her mother, and her eldest brother was slapped by her mouth, so she was scared and didn't dare to say anything, which would be a little unbearable, so she blurted out.
But as soon as she finished speaking, she heard the startled wood in the county master's hand, "Bang!" With a sound, she hurriedly closed her mouth again, but the smug look in her eyes that looked at Yang Xiaotao was very distinct.
"Boss Yang, what do you have to say?" The county magistrate glared at Li Xi'er, who suddenly interjected, before raising his head and saying to Yang Xiaotao.
"My lord, their reasons are too far-fetched, just find someone here to open their eyes and talk nonsense, and the little woman is not convinced." Yang Xiaotao stood there straight, and her tone was extremely cold.
A fine bead of sweat appeared on the corner of the county master's forehead, and it was not Yang Xiaotao who was afraid of him, but the one beside her, so he could only say in a soothing tone, "Then Boss Yang has any evidence?" Or the money that comes out. ”
Before Yang Xiaotao could speak, she was interrupted by Qinghe's weak voice, "My lord, the woman has something to say." ”
The county magistrate was immediately attracted by the voice, and saw Qinghe's weak and pitiful appearance, and said with a smile, "Say." ”
Yang Xiaotao suddenly rolled her eyes, and said that there was a knife on the head of the color word, and this county master was really a womanizer.
Qinghe saw that his behavior was useful, and immediately said coquettishly, "The woman knows that Yang Xiaotao's family couldn't even eat before, even if she set up a small stall later, it is impossible to take out four thousand five hundred taels of silver to buy land at once, there must be something strange in this." ”
Qinghe knows how to attract the attention of men, and now the situation is extremely unfavorable to Yang Xiaotao, as long as he is saying a few key words, even if the county master used to sell Yang Xiaotao's face, but after they succeed, the county master still can't buy Yang Xiaotao's face, then I don't know.
The county magistrate was still a little confused, and his mouth was full of "Yes!" Be! Be! Then he looked up at Yang Xiaotao and wanted to reprimand, but he bumped into Yuwen Xiu's cold gaze, and suddenly his smile froze on his face, sweating profusely, he was lustful, but the color was more important than life, and he immediately sorted out his facial expression and said, "Boss Yang, look?" ”
"The silver is my dowry." Yuwen Xiu said coldly, this was his first sentence today, and everyone was stunned as soon as he opened his mouth.
Yang Xiaotao was also thundered by his words, so he said that the silver was lent to him, can't it? Trousseau! Trousseau! Trousseau!
"I can testify!" Suddenly, a voice sounded, Yang Xiaotao looked for prestige, Aunt Zhao had already pushed away the catch that was blocking the door, hurriedly walked into the hall, knelt down directly and said, "My lord, the woman can testify that this silver was given to Xiao Tao by Yuwen Xiu." ”
Then Aunt Zhao told her story about how Yang Xiaotao got the silver that day.
At this time, the Li family panicked, and even the stator who testified directly trembled violently, they never thought that someone would be able to give Yang Xiaotao so much silver!
Aunt Zhao was originally out of the stall as usual today, but when she heard people passing by, talking about the trial of the case in the yamen, and when she heard Yang Xiaotao's name, she beckoned Yan Niu to help look at the stall, and she hurriedly ran over.
After listening to this, the county master probably understood the whole story, and still asked, "Boss Yang, is this the case?" ”
Yang Xiaotao said helplessly: "That's right." Yang Xiaotao was depressed, she hadn't said a few words today, the result of this matter was obvious, she thought that the Li family could have any powerful evidence, but it was nothing more than that.
Li Daye also knelt on the ground lifelessly, and a voice in his heart told him that the old Li family was finished.
Li Ming still struggled and said, "My lord, you can't listen to their words, they colluded, that person is a little white face, how can there be so much silver." As he spoke, he pointed to Yu Wenxiu.
Qinghe saw that the situation was not good, and said loudly, "My lord, you have to be the master for us, my husband is right, this man is a little white face raised by her, how can he take out so much silver?" ”
At this time, the yamen rushed into a woman again, this person was Shen Xiaoqin, the daughter-in-law who Li Ming gave to the retired book, Shen Xiaoqin directly pounced and knelt down and said, "My lord, please call the shots for the people's women." ”
The county magistrate was confused, where is this singing? The matter in front of him has not been dealt with yet, why did he run in and avenge his grievances alone.
"My lord, the people's wife wants to sue the people's husband's father-in-law Li Ming, he is innocent and wants to divorce his wife, but he is to marry a woman in a green house, and the woman is not satisfied!" Shen Xiaoqin said and tears fell.
I have been serving my in-laws carefully in the Li family for so many years, and I never dared to be disobedient, and it was something that she was proud of if she was a showman, but she didn't expect that what she was waiting for was just a letter of resignation, and she was unwilling.
Just now, she was upset and depressed, and wanted to hide in the crowd to see the Li family's jokes, and suddenly someone told her that the woman Li Ming was going to marry was a Qinglou woman, and she couldn't suppress the anger in her heart anymore, and rushed in.
