Chapter 253: It is impossible for the city lord to be partial

Zhu Changling saw Xu Jingluo building momentum like this, and he didn't know what she wanted to play, so he lowered his face and said:

"Okay, Miss Xu, if you have any evidence to prove that this batch of pigs is yours, then take it out, if not, even if the emperor Lao Tzu comes, he will not be able to judge this batch of pigs to you."

"That's it, Xu Jingluo, you have evidence, you say, I have witnesses here." Xu Jingting exchanged glances with Zhu Lingxiang as she spoke, and both of them looked proud.

"Of course there is." Xu Jingluo said slowly, "My name is written on the bodies of these pigs, City Lord Zhu, if you don't believe it, you can send someone to check it." ”

Xu Jingting chuckled in her heart when she heard this, maybe Xu Jingluo really wrote his name on the pig just in case? In that case, it will be a big trouble.

No, no, even if Xu Jingluo really wrote his name on the pig, it hasn't been gone for more than a month?

Thinking like this, he suddenly had the confidence to look at Xu Jingluo and asked.

"Okay, Xu Jingluo, since you say so, if there is no name on this batch of pigs, does it prove that this batch of pigs is not yours?"

Xu Jingluo propped his chin and spoke unhurriedly.

"Yes, if this batch of pigs does not have my name on them, it is not the one I lost."

After speaking, he paused, his tone became heavier, and his eyes became sharp, "But if there is, then Xu Jingting, you are the thief who stole my piglet a month ago~~." ”

Xu Jingting felt uneasy in her heart, every time Xu Jingluo, a cheap woman, was full of confidence, she looked extremely calm, could she really have full evidence?

No, no, no, it can't be, when this batch of piglets first got their hands, the pig pen had not been repaired, and they had been free-range for more than ten days.

I remember that it rained every day for more than ten days, and they arched and planed in the mud, even if the words on the body were all worn off, Xu Jingluo couldn't come up with evidence.

Thinking of this, Xu Jingting rolled her eyes at Xu Jingluo.

"Xu Jingluo said it, if you don't have your name on the piglet, you have to apologize to me obediently."

"Okay." Xu Jingluo nodded and looked at Zhu Changling, "But if there is my name, Xu Jingting, you can be suspected of stealing and the amount is huge, City Lord Zhu, how to deal with thieves of such a bad nature?" ”

Zhu Changling thought for a moment and replied: "A fine of five hundred taels of silver and one hundred rods." ”

A hundred rods is equivalent to a death sentence, and twenty boards can be beaten with skin and flesh, which one can withstand a hundred strokes?

Xu Jingluo nodded with satisfaction, and said to the onlookers again, "Have you heard the words of City Lord Zhu?" ”

The onlookers were all exploited by Zhu Changling, and they complained deeply about him, and Xu Jingluo was very kind to her for curing their illness, so they naturally stood on Xu Jingluo's side and hurriedly answered.

"Whoever hears it, and whoever steals a huge amount, shall be fined five hundred taels of silver and one hundred strokes of the rod."

Xu Jingluo smiled and said to Zhu Changling, "Every pig has my name Xu Jingluo written on its belly, please ask City Lord Zhu to send someone to check it and see if it is." ”

Although Zhu Changling was the prince of the Southern Zhou Dynasty before, since he was exiled to Shuanglong City, his skin has become tanned, and his face is branded with a big prisoner, which is no different from an ordinary prisoner at first glance.

At this moment, Xu Jingluo looked curious, his expression was so sure that it didn't look like a boast, but he wanted to know if the words 'Xu Jingluo' were written on these pigs.

There is no blacksmith in Ssangyong City, if there is a blacksmith, can he still brand his name on the pig and write it? Can it be kept for so long?

With a stomach full of questions, Zhu Changling beckoned to one of his subordinates, and the two worked together to control a piglet.

The subordinate bent down and looked, "Hicc~~ Master, this pig really has a name on its belly!" Xu Jingluo~~"

Zhu Changling was extremely surprised, and hurriedly bent down to check.

This ~~ is really, the three words 'Xu Jingluo' are really printed on the pig's belly, and the handwriting is blue, and it can't be erased even if you wipe it with your hands.

I don't know what kind of ink is used, it's so strange!

Zhu Changling was full of surprise and was speechless for a long time.

"What's going on? Could it be that it is really written on it? Xu Jingting saw that Zhu Changling's expression was wrong, and hurriedly ran over.

In this inspection, she found that there was a big blue seal on the belly of each pig, printed with Xu Jingluo's name, and Xu Jingting opened her mouth.

Xu Jingluo held his chin and looked at Xu Jingting and sneered.

"Xu Jingting, you stole my pig~~ Now the evidence is conclusive, right?"

This batch of piglets was transported to Shuanglong City in Changning City, and the distance was far away for fear of encountering robbers, so Xu Jingluo bought a seal and a 'quarantine seal oil' in the space mall, and printed his name on the pigs.

This kind of 'quarantine seal oil' was unknown to the ancients, but those who have bought pork in modern times understand it, and they can't scrape it off with a knife, let alone wash it.

I didn't expect the thieves outside to be prevented, but they prevented Xu Jingting, an uneasy and kind-hearted pig thief.

"What the hell is it that keeps the ink off for so long? Xu Jingluo is also too weird. Xu Jingting muttered unwillingly, looking depressed.

Zhu Lingxiang was also shocked and speechless.

It's obviously a matter of nine out of ten, but how did it end up being easily resolved by Xu Jingluo? This woman is too difficult to deal with, she knew what kind of false testimony she gave to Xu Jingting? You're implicating yourself at this point, right?

Zhu Changling directly took the complaining eyes and stripped Zhu Lingxiang, this sister is really specialized in doing some stupid things, and she will not change her teaching.

told her not to go against Xu Jingluo and not listen, and asked him to wipe her shares again, right?

Afraid that Zhu Changling would rely on his status as the city lord to suppress the small, the onlookers opened their mouths to speak for Xu Jingluo.

"City Lord Zhu, this perjury penalty is 100 silver, 20 rods, theft is 500 taels of silver, and 100 rods, you can't break your word."

"Yes, City Lord Zhu, if you don't carry it out, how will you convince the public?"

"A gentleman who violates the law is also guilty of the same crime as the common people, this is a three-year-old child who understands the truth, and the lord of Zhu City can't be biased~~"

Zhu Changling looked at Zhu Lingxiang with a straight face, his eyes were full of blame for her trouble, Zhu Lingxiang was very frightened by him, holding his clothes and begging.

"Brother, you can't do anything to me, how can my delicate and weak body withstand the thirty boards? I'm going to die~~"

"Now you know you're scared? Why don't you use your brains when you give false testimony? Zhu Changling said angrily, and after speaking, he ignored Zhu Lingxiang's plea and prepared to torture her.

Some villagers had already brought benches and flat burdens, and the tools for punishment were ready.

"Zhu Lingxiang, lie down for me honestly, it is impossible for me to be partial as the city lord of Shuanglong City." Zhu Changling looks iron-faced and selfless.

With so many people watching, what can he do if he can't bear it? You can't provoke the wrath of the public, can you?

Zhu Lingxiang saw that there were many onlookers, and everyone was watching, so he said it so deadly, what else could he do except be beaten.

If her brother really wants to protect her sister in public, I'm afraid he, the city lord, will not want to be in the future.

I could only be ruthless, gritted my teeth and lay down on the bench.

"Hit it, do it."

"Zhu Long, you go." Zhu Changling ordered his subordinates.

Zhu Long is not only his subordinate, but also his cousin, as long as he holds some of it, Zhu Lingxiang can afford to hold the thirty boards.

Sure enough, Zhu Long looked at the flat pole raised high, but the strength that fell on Zhu Lingxiang was only one-tenth, and Zhu Lingxiang howled easily.

Xu Jingting looked timid on the side, she was a pregnant person, no matter how light she was, she couldn't hold a hundred strokes, how could this be good?

Rolling his eyes, he thought about it, and quietly approached Zhu Changling's side and whispered: "City Lord Zhu, you want to find a way to let me go, I can't take this hundred boards." ”

Zhu Changling's face was ugly, and he said in an annoyed tone: "What? Could it be that your body is more delicate than Lingxiang's? Heh~~"

Even if the Southern Zhou Kingdom no longer exists, it is impossible for Zhu Lingxiang to change the status of the Southern Zhou royal family, Xu Jingting is just the daughter of a minister's family, why can't she be beaten if the princess is beaten?

"That's, that's not what I meant." Xu Jingting didn't know how to explain it, and the fact that she was pregnant with a child couldn't be revealed.

Since Zhu Lingxiang was beaten, she definitely couldn't escape, and she was so anxious.
