Chapter 183: Refusal of Maintenance
Bai Shi pinched the jade pendant in a panic, a little nervous.
Lu Jiangli walked up to her and said softly: "Mother, it's okay, let's give the jade pendant to the adults first." ”
The Bai family wanted to speak and stopped, this jade pendant involves Ah Li's life experience, and naturally the less people know about it, the better.
Can ...... now
Bai sighed and was reluctant to hand over the jade pendant.
Lord Yin took the jade pendant and pondered carefully, "The jade is transparent, smooth and refreshing, and it is still a rare blood jade...... This kind of jade pendant, I can't find a few pieces in the entire Tianze Kingdom! Bai Clan, is this jade pendant really your ancestor? Where are you from? Why become a refugee? Exiled to Qinghe Village? ”
Bai's body trembled, and she knew that it would lead to a bunch of questions.
As soon as someone finds out who she is, she is exposed.
Bai's eyes dodged, and he hung his head and said: "The woman's surname is Bai, her name is Bai Zhu, and her parents used to be businessmen, so her family is well-off!" Therefore, the women can also read and write, but later the family fell into the middle of the road, my father's business was miserable, and the creditor came to the door and had to pull me to pay off the debt! My father and mother died tragically, the mansion was acquired, and I had to flee the south with the only remaining silver taels, and I came to Qinghe Village unconsciously! Please also have a good understanding! ”
At this time, Lu Jiangli stood up and testified: "My lord, I can prove that my mother didn't lie!" My poetry and handwriting are all taught by my mother! If my mother is not a big family, she will never have the opportunity to read and write and write poetry! However, the Li family and others, the adults also said that it is difficult to have a few pieces of this jade in the entire Tianze Kingdom, I don't know when the Lu family became so rich? How can a jade pendant with this texture be used as an heirloom? ”
Li also wanted to use strong words: "Who said that our Lu family has never been rich?" Maybe our ancestors were businessmen for generations! ”
Outside the yamen, those people who joined in the excitement coaxed: "Come on, with your kind of virtue, are you still rich and noble?" Your ancestors have been in the village for eighteen generations, and you haven't been a businessman! You can afford this jade pendant! What about liars! ”
"That is, my lord, we can testify that the Lu family has not been rich in Qinghe Village for several generations!"
Lord Yin said coldly: "Now the truth has been revealed!" The official announced that this jade pendant belongs to the Bai family! The Li family and Lu Youeun immediately returned the 1,000 taels of silver tickets, otherwise the official will let the official search your clothes in court, and then don't blame the official for being unsympathetic! ”
Although Brother Eun was unwilling, under Lord Yin's fierce eyes, he still handed over a hundred taels.
Li Shi was not so easy to fool, she smiled dryly: "My lord, a whole thousand taels, how could I hide it on my body, I put it in the bamboo house, I will go back and get it for her!" ”
"Stop! If you are old, it will be difficult for the officials to search you? ”
Yin Xianling gave a cold look, and the two officials stepped forward and pressed Li: "Take off her shoes first and search slowly!" ”
Li Shi was held down, ashamed and angry: "Come on, the county official is rude!" Even an old woman like me is going to be rude! ”
Yin Xianling was really disappointed, this kind of person didn't repent until this moment.
He was really blind to sympathize with her!
"Li, there is a criminal law in the law, called fruit punishment! Specifically for those who steal, fornicate, etc.! You stole the jade pendant first, premeditated robbery later, and now you refuse to return the crime plus one degree, just slandered the court officials, the crime is added to the second degree! According to the law, the official can also let you slap your mouth for 20 first, then scold you with a cane for 30 years, and finally put you in prison! ”
Only then did Li understand that Lord Yin was serious!
The bloated body trembled, and hurriedly bowed to the ground: "I'll move!" I'm recruiting! The silver tickets are hidden in my shoes and socks! ”
She took out the smelly silver ticket in her shoes and socks and handed it to Bai's, poofed, and knelt down again: "Eldest daughter-in-law, I didn't mean to, I'm not afraid that you will drive me away?" I came up with this bad idea, thinking that if I have a silver ticket on my body, even if you drive me away, I won't starve to death! You forgive me this time, I will definitely change my ways, be a good person, and never fight these crooked ideas again. ”
Bai snatched the silver ticket and scolded angrily: "Are you afraid that you will starve to death? Then do you know that this thousand taels was borrowed by Ah Li! People like you are selfish, I don't dare to keep you anymore. ”
Lu Jiangli had this intention: "My lord, you have also seen the Li family's personality!" We took her in, but she didn't know anything about it! When he saw the meat on the table, he sneezed deliberately, wanting to monopolize a plate of meat, and even Xiaobao didn't want to eat a piece of meat! This time it's stealing jade pendants and grabbing silver tickets, what will be next time? ”
"Her nurturing kindness to my father, our family has already paid it off! Over the years, I have been relying on my father's meager monthly salary to support my family, and my mother works as a cow and a horse, and she has to serve her! We have already paid it off, and we have nothing to do with the Li family and the Lu family! Forgive us for not being able to support her anymore! ”
When Li heard the meaning of Lu Jiangli's words, he immediately sat on the ground and cried miserably: "Ouch, why is my life so bitter? When people are old, they should be disliked and bullied? Isn't it just a sneeze? I didn't mean to, you're embarrassed to take it to the yamen to talk about it! ”
"You know? After I sneezed, she would rather give the meat to the dogs than to us! Let us eat white rice! Their family is hiding in the house with big fish and meat, how can there be such a vicious granddaughter in the world! I really raised their family for nothing! ”
The Zhang family and the Wang family glanced at each other, and both families knew very well in their hearts that if Lu Jiangli did not take in the Li family, then the responsibility of taking care of the Li family would fall on the two of them!
They don't want to eat with an extra mouth!
The point is, this mouth is not a fuel-efficient lamp yet!
Zhang's yin and yang sneered strangely: "My lord, listen! Is this a human thing? Sister Li'er is a rich and noble family in our village, but I didn't expect to be so stingy? You don't want to think about it, when your mother fainted at the door of Lu's house, if it weren't for my mother's kindness, your mother Bai would have starved to death on the streets! What's the matter with you? You can't be so forgetful! ”
Wang also sneered sarcastically: "Isn't it? Sister Li, although you are developed now, you can't bully our old lady like this with a few stinky money! Back then, you had a child out of wedlock, which ruined the reputation of the Lu family, and the people in the village were clamoring to pull you into the pond, who stopped everyone from interceding with the village chief? If it weren't for our Lu family to give your mother and mother a bite to eat, you and Xiaobao might have become lonely ghosts long ago! The old lady is hungry for a bite of meat and does something wrong, and you forget all these years of kindness to you? You're too ungrateful, aren't you? ”
Lu Lao Er plucked up the courage and shouted: "That is, I said that each family takes turns to take care of my mother, and each family lives for a month, and this is only two days, how much food can the old lady eat from you alone!" Why don't you raise it? ”
Master Yin was hurt by the noisy brain of the Lu family!
When he first came to Qinghe Town, he didn't even know the situation of the Lu family, and he didn't even know that Miss Lu was born out of wedlock.
"Shut up! Whoever is making a big fuss in the public court, let's talk about it first! ”
Immediately, he looked at Lu Jiangli and asked, "Plaintiff Lu Jiangli, what do you say?" ”
