Chapter 43: The Folk Girl Doesn't Accept It!
This brother-in-law, Sun Yunniang has also heard Zhang Hongsheng mention it a few times, it is said that he is a well-known miscellaneous businessman in the capital, and it can be said that where there are business opportunities.
He is exquisite, capable, and has a unique vision, and often helps to serve in the circle of high-ranking officials and nobles in the capital.
Although the magnates looked down on these businessmen in their bones, they also wished they could catch up with some clever ones to help their shop Zhuangzi earn more silver.
So in modern times, that brother-in-law should be a very good investment consultant or something.
Sun Yunniang suddenly felt that her brain was a little off, and when she turned her head, she found that Zhang Hongsheng had some apologies in his expression.
Hurriedly said: "It must have taken a lot of trouble for Shopkeeper Zhang to come in here to visit me, Yun Niang is already grateful, besides, although you were not there earlier, Zhao Si helped a lot." ”
I didn't expect it to be like this, but the people in prison came to comfort themselves, Zhang Hongsheng couldn't help but smile bitterly: "The lady is serious, what I can help is really limited... But if you can find your friend, you can solve the siege. ”
He hesitated for a moment, and then said: "I should have had a relationship with that person, probably when I followed my brother-in-law to your nobleman's house, I met by chance, and I should... Not a small person. So the lady relaxes, there will be a turnaround. ”
Sun Yunniang is not surprised by this, she guessed eight or nine or ten, that person must not be a simple person, but he never wants to think about it.
However, the hope of exoneration cannot be pinned on him alone.
Sun Yunniang smiled silently and jumped away from the topic without a trace.
After a while, the cell boss came to urge, and Zhang Hongsheng hurriedly stuffed something into her hand before leaving.
It wasn't until the footsteps completely disappeared that she unfolded what was in her palm, which turned out to be a few silver tickets.
Sun Yunniang had complicated thoughts for a while, she has always positioned Shopkeeper Zhang as a good business partner, and she believes that the other party is too.
And today, no matter what the purpose, whether it is for the benefit of cooperation or out of human affection, she will remember it in her heart.
She knows very well that in this world, once a person is in danger, it is her duty to stand by and watch, and it is a great affection to help each other.
Silently sorting out her thoughts in her heart, Sun Yunniang suddenly felt a wave of sleepiness hit her, and finally fell asleep.
When she woke up, she didn't know how much time had passed, but she felt a little like a dream.
When the jailer found her up, he politely served a bowl of somen noodles, although there was no oil, but at least it was freshly cooked, not the rancid prison rice before.
After eating, the cell boss led her out.
When I asked the hour, it was already close to noon, and this ascension time was too casual...
When they arrived at the county government office, four or five officials stood at the door crookedly chatting, some of them had blue eye sockets, and they looked like they hadn't slept enough after staying up all night, yawning one after another.
Sun Yunniang secretly felt strange, isn't this ancient yamen a very serious place.
When she entered the interrogation hall, she found that there was something even more outrageous.
After a stick of incense, I saw the county commander staggering in accompanied by the master, and when the officials saw this, they hurriedly straightened up and walked into the court.
The county commander looked like he was in his forties, and he looked full of fat and white fat, and his whole body was trembling when he walked.
Because he was too fat, the official hat was clinging to his forehead, like an adult wearing a child's hat, so it wasn't funny.
An official uniform could barely wrap around the fat body, so he began to pant after walking more than ten steps, slowly walked to the chair in the public hall, took a deep breath, loosened his belt, and sat down with great difficulty.
But as soon as he sat down, he couldn't help but yawn heavily.
It's the same as his servants... Sun Yunniang couldn't help frowning, can you also be a county magistrate like this? A bad feeling instantly surged in my heart.
At this time, the master in the hall coughed lightly twice, and said something in the ear of the county commander, he straightened his waist slightly, and shouted in his breathless voice: "Take, bring people up for me!" ”
"My lord, it's been a long time." The officials below all buried their heads and pursed their lips and held back a smile.
"Lord County Order, the people's daughter Sun is here, the people's daughter is wronged, please be enlightened."
As soon as the county order heard it, he looked in the direction of Sun Yunniang, her puffy triangular eyes narrowed slightly, and her expression softened in an instant.
What a beautiful country Sayuri!
Although the hair is messy, there is an inexplicable contrast beauty, I knew that it was such a delicate little lady, and he tried this case first yesterday.
"Hehe, don't be afraid, little lady, dare to ask what is Fang's name? Where do you live, how many people are in the family, and what do your parents do? ”
Seeing that the other party was looking at him with a smile, and almost stood up from the chair, Sun Yunniang's eyebrows twisted and twisted, and there was a pang in her chest.
took a deep breath and said lightly: "My lord, the daughter of the people is called Sun Yunniang, she now lives in Yanjia Village, Qingyan Town, her parents have passed away a long time ago, and I am the only one left." ”
"Orphan girl?!" A hint of surprise flashed in the county commander's eyes, wouldn't it be better, if she nodded, would he be able to carry her into the backyard tonight?
brushed the floor, and actually stood up, almost blurting out a question.
The master behind him looked bad, and the old pervert forgot to get down to business again, so he pulled him back and hurriedly whispered a few words in his ear.
The county order's face immediately turned green when he heard it, "What? That's her!? It's a pity, it's a pity..."
Sun Yunniang in the hall couldn't hear it clearly, but she didn't dare to ask more, remembering that the jailer kindly explained to her this morning, don't interject when she speaks, but eat less flesh and skin.
I saw that the county commander sat back in his position, and the flesh on his body trembled again, and finally sighed, as if he had made some difficult decision, snapped on the ground, and patted the shocking wood.
"Sun Yunniang, right, someone has accused you of selling spoiled food, and now five people have identified it, you are guilty!"
Sun Yunniang raised her head and looked at the other party fixedly, "My lord, the people have been wronged, please ask your lord to investigate!" ”
These apricot eyes are like a pool of spring water that is crystal clear, and there is a hint of stubbornness in it, he likes a little lady with a little personality, and he really has an appetite.
Iniquity... The little lady who was close at hand couldn't marry home, and the county magistrate couldn't help but pouted aggrievedly.
That funny appearance finally made the officials under the hall unable to hold back, and small laughter rang out.
was pushed hard by the master again, and the county order came back to his senses, and patted the shocked wood again, "Quiet!" Quiet! That Sun Yunniang, everyone has evidence, so don't quibble! Quickly confess your guilt, and maybe you can get a light sentence. ”
Sun Yunniang is not without seeing the dark officialdom of feudal society in the historical dramas of her previous life, but the theory is always not as great as the impact of personal experience.
For a while, I felt unbelievable, I didn't investigate anything clearly, I wanted to convict her, and the naked false accusation was so high-sounding.
If you don't open your mouth to argue, I'm afraid you will really be condemned.
couldn't care about anything else, she hurriedly stepped forward and said: "My lord, although there are witnesses, but the physical evidence is incomplete, the causes and consequences have not been verified, and even the witnesses have not appeared, so if you are convicted, the law of Nanchu is not in accordance with the law, and the people are not convinced!" ”
The words are reasonable, but the officials under the hall are sweating for her, this dog official position is not small, but the official authority is quite big, especially who hates who is not convinced in the hall.
Sure enough, the county order's face was pulled down in an instant, his eyes were empty, and he said sharply: "Oh? Defy? That's a coincidence, the official is not satisfied, drag it down, and hit twenty boards first! ”
Before Sun Yunniang could react, she was dragged out by the officials, and when she arrived outside the door, she was escorted to lie on the execution stool.
There was an instant panic in his chest, and human life was so small and helpless in the face of power.
If you go to these twenty boards, you will lose half your life if you don't die, and that's how you come to be beaten.
She stabilized her mind and looked up sideways to see that the executioner was actually the one who had been executed with blue eye sockets before, like a servant who had stayed up all night, as if she had just heard someone laughing at him for losing in the gambling house yesterday and he had no underwear left.
In an instant, a thought arose, and she gambled too!
Immediately, he touched the placket of his clothes, and unknowingly threw a mass of things on the ground.
The servant was holding the board high, and he saw the handsome little lady in front of him winking at him, and pointing to the ground.
When I looked closely, it was a white ball of paper.
Seeing that the rest of the officials were still in the hall, no one noticed him, so he lowered his body and pretended to arrange his shoes, but in fact he quickly unfolded the paper ball.
It turned out to be two silver tickets of fifty taels!
His fingertips trembled slightly, and his originally lifeless eyes instantly shone as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.
quickly stuffed the ticket into his shoes and said in a low voice, "Cooperate well, otherwise you won't be able to eat and walk around." ”
After speaking, he hurriedly stood up, and the first board immediately went down.
Sun Yunniang suddenly understood the meaning of cooperation.
With a snap, although the sound of the board was loud, it was like a massage on the body, and it didn't hurt at all.
I didn't expect this cane punishment to be really exquisite, but I didn't expect her to really bet right!
People who are in the gambling house all the year round have a gambler's mentality, and the more they lose, the more they want to turn the tables.
Since others are willing to take money to do things, she naturally has to cooperate well.
So Sun Yunniang's screams rose and fell with the board, high and low, almost just stuck on the idea.
The people in the hall didn't know, they only listened to the shouting too much, and they all showed a trace of unbearability.
But the county order is waiting a little anxiously, last night he was entertaining until midnight, this morning before he could make up for the sleep was called by the master, seeing that it was about to be dinner, this tired and sleepy, but how to judge it.
He lifted his belt, stood up straight and walked out, and explained as he walked: "Drag it down after the fight, and pass it on later!" ”
The officials only glanced at each other and responded in unison, as if they had long been accustomed to this kind of thing.
The master on the side was not calm, and chased after him, and said in a low voice: "My lord, I am afraid that it is not suitable to withdraw from the hall as soon as I am promoted, besides, the nobleman's side... It's hard to explain..."
