Li Shoude obviously didn't expect Li Rulan to dare to choke him like this now, his expression was embarrassed for a moment, and then anger rose in his eyes.

Li Rulan at the beginning, after being bullied by him, only dared to hide in the room and cry, and never dared to talk back.

And now, he just asked a word, and Li Rulan refuted his face like this.

"Heh, it seems that you have the support of your husband's family, and this speech is also hardened. You didn't dare talk to me like that before. ”

Li Shoude stood up, looking Li Rulan and the others up and down with disdain, and his tone was full of disdain.

"It's just that you don't look at what you're dressed for, but you're married to a mountain villager in the ravine, do you have such a big confidence? Why do people who have been kicked out of the Li family and removed from the family tree dare to talk to me like this? ”

If Li Rulan had heard these words before, she would definitely have avoided sulking by herself.

But at this moment, she looked at Li Shoude and didn't feel angry at all.

Because she no longer wants to be affected by this kind of garbage, this kind of person is really not worth her anger.

But she wasn't angry, but Xiao Niannian was unhappy.

She doesn't allow anyone to talk about her mother like that, not anyone.

Xiao Niannian's eyes narrowed slightly, and her little face was tense.

Xu Gongran sensed Xiao Niannian's displeasure, hurriedly patted the shocking wood in his hand, and said angrily to Li Shoude under the hall: "Bold! Above the court, how can you be so noisy! The official hasn't asked you to stand up yet, who told you to stand up?! ”

Li Shoude hurriedly knelt down towards Xu Gongran again: "Adults are angry, adults are angry!" ”

He was so focused on the speed of his tongue that he forgot that it was still in the courtroom.

After kneeling, he explained: "I still hope that the adults will atone for their sins, it is also unfortunate for the family, the sister did not abide by the woman's way when she was still in the boudoir, and was kicked out of the house by her father, and now when we meet again, I have such an attitude towards me, it is really chilling, I really can't help it, so I taught a few words......"

Xu Gongran directly interrupted him: "Shut up! Is it above the court where you speak of housework? ”

"Besides, do you know who the Li family in the hall has offended?"

Li Shoude sighed in his heart, in addition to the people from the yamen, there were two fathers and daughters, as well as Li Rulan and his family.

Could it be, Li Yulian offended Li Rulan and them, right?

When Xu Gongran saw his expression, he knew that he should have guessed.

So he said: "I think you should have guessed that it was Mrs. Shen's family who offended the Li family." ”

"Li ignored the ban and galloped on Dong'an Street, causing passers-by to panic and almost injuring Mrs. Shen's family."

"It was obvious that she was at fault first, but she didn't repent, insulted Mrs. Shen on the street, and lied about the case, and the victim almost judged the wrong case."

"When it came to the court, the Li family was still arrogant, contemptuous of the court, and continued to use foul language, and was only punished for one year in the dungeon, which is considered merciful!"

"This ......" Li Shoude has been here for a long time, and he doesn't know what to say.

He believed Xu Gongran's words, because Xu Gongran had been in Qingzhou City for so many years, and there were almost no unjust, false and wrongful cases.

And he also knows what virtues his daughter has, and she is used to being arrogant and domineering by her family, and she doesn't pay attention to anything.

This time, it's really planted.

But he can't really watch Li Yulian go to prison, if this matter spreads, it will definitely affect his Li family's style.

When the time comes, not only will they be ridiculed and scolded as elders, but the reputation of other unmarried children in the family will be greatly affected, and it will be difficult to find a good marriage in the future.

So even if it is for the sake of other children in the family, he can't let Li Yulian go.

"Your Excellency!" Li Shoude kowtowed to Xu Gongran, "The little girl is ignorant and has made a mistake, please give a light punishment for the sake of the little girl's young and ignorant nature!" This criminal law is too heavy, I'm afraid that the little girl can't bear it! ”

"Li Guanren, you asked for the wrong person." Xu Gongran looked in the direction of Li Rulan.

"What you should ask for is not the official, but Mrs. Shen's family. The Li family hurt Mrs. Shen's family, you should ask for their forgiveness. ”

"Rulan......" Li Shoude looked at Li Rulan, opened his mouth, and was speechless for a long time.

He has been bullying Li Rulan since he was a child, and he really can't do it if he wants him to bow to Li Rulan for a while.

He looked left and right, and he didn't see anything worthy of special treatment in the Shen family.

I don't know what kind of wind this county order smoked, treating the family from this ravine as a guest, and asking him to ask for forgiveness.

Li Rulan met his gaze, there was no trace of waves in her eyes, not even hatred.

"No need, how dare I let Li Daguan come and beg me. Besides, it's useless to beg me, this is the verdict issued by the prefectural magistrate, and I believe that the prefectural magistrate is fair and just, and the verdict will naturally not be wrong. ”

"Exactly!" Shen Zhengwen stood up, his cold eyes crossed Li Shoude, and then arched his hand towards Xu Gongran.

"Thank you for your hospitality, since this case is over, we should also retire."

Xu Gongran returned a salute with a polite attitude: "This, a few people have come from afar, and it is okay to rest here more." ”

Shen Zhengwen declined: "Lord Xie is very kind, but a few of us still have something to do, so it is inconvenient to stay for a long time." ”

He was still thinking about the inn, and now it was almost noon, and if he didn't look for the inn, he was afraid that there would be no place to live at night.

Seeing him say this, Xu Gongran no longer held back.

Xiao Niannian estimated that it was almost time to go.

Touching the round little belly of the melon, I wanted to jump off the table.

Unfortunately, my legs are too short to reach the ground.

Seeing this, Xu Gongran hurriedly stepped forward to support her feet and let her step on her own hands and walk down.

"Thanks!" Xiao Niannian patted Xu Gongran's shoulder.

Xu Gongran was overjoyed, did the little ancestor recognize him? Will he be able to take the opportunity to get his jade gourd back?

"What's that......" But before he could open his mouth to mention the jade gourd, Xiao Niannian had already jumped up and walked to Li Rulan's side.

"Daddy, mom, let's go, the big black mule is still waiting for us outside!"

A family of eight people was full of food and drink in the yamen, and they were ready to leave with satisfaction.

Xu Gongran watched Xiao Niannian follow his family out, and he didn't look back at him the whole time.

He was a little depressed in his heart, looked at Li Shoude, who was still kneeling on the ground, and said impatiently: "This case is a foregone conclusion, you should step down too!" ”

After finishing speaking, he waved his hand at the official holding Li Yulian again.

"Put the Li family in the dungeon and guard it strictly!"

"Yes!" The officials took the order and left.

Li Yulian was so frightened that her face was like dirt, and she struggled desperately, but how could she be a weak woman who could earn the strong servants in the yamen.

She thought that her father would be able to save her when he came, but who knew that it still couldn't change her ending.

After Li Shoude waited for the Shen family to walk out of the inner hall, he hurriedly got up and walked to Xu Gongran's side, and whispered: "The county commander is merciful, I have brought in some treasures from the West here, which are more delicate and beautiful than the pearls last time, if the adults can let the little girl go, that batch of Western goods can be delivered to your house in the evening!" ”

"Oh? Is it? Xu Gongran's eyes narrowed slightly, and there was displeasure in his tone.

"Do you know what the crime of bribing the imperial court officials is, and Li Guanren also wants to follow Ling Ai to try to sleep in the dungeon, right?"

"The adults are angry, but the small people don't dare!" Li Shoude hurriedly leaned over and pleaded guilty, "But before, didn't the adults ...... back"

Xu Xianling also accepted his gift before, and told him that he would do him a favor, why is he turning his face and not recognizing people now?

"Alas......" Xu Gongran also knew that he was at a loss, sighed and said, "Li Daguan doesn't know anything, if there are other things, I may be able to help you." But today, you provoke people who shouldn't be messed with, and I can't help them. ”

Li Shoude was even more puzzled, "But those people look like just ordinary villagers, why can't they be provoked?" ”

"Li Guanren doesn't know that the mountain is not high, and if there is a dragon, it will be spiritual. A lot of times, what you see with your eyes is just appearances. When you really get to know the family, you won't say that. ”

Seeing that Li Shoude was still confused, Xu Gongran kindly reminded: "For the sake of those Ryukyu, I'll show you a clear way." ”

"If you can ask for the forgiveness of Mrs. Shen's family, and let Mrs. Shen personally come to intercede and let the Li family go, I will definitely let Ling Ai return to the Li Mansion safe and sound."

Outside the yamen.

The Shen family all got on the mule cart, and Shen Zhengwen pulled the reins and was about to set off.

At this moment, a figure suddenly rushed over and blocked the front of the big black mule.

"Wait! Don't go yet! ”
