Chapter 172: Sin Adds One Degree
He Yuanjing was just in time for the county magistrate to announce Shen Huarou's innocence, and Ma Chao's mother and son were each punished with 20 boards for falsely accusing others.
Zhang Laosan, who testified falsely and innocently, was guilty of the same crime, and Lao Tongsheng was not guilty.
After the announcement, Shen Huarou thanked the county order and came out with Shen Zong.
Leaving the three of them to be punished in court, the county order took pity on Ma Chao's mother for her age, and her twenty boards could be taken by her son half.
She was willing to let her son suffer for her, not only did she not agree, but she had to bear the punishment for her son.
When he was a son, he was inconsiderate of his mother, and he didn't say a word of refusal, and there was a faint sense of urgency.
The county order was already angry, and he looked down on Ma Chao's character and behavior, and now he showed such unfilial piety, so angry that the county order was angry and rushed to the top of his head.
"Unfilial mother, add ten more boards."
So, he added another charge.
As soon as Ma Pozi heard that she was still alive, she immediately shouted.
"My son is very filial, why should I beat him again?"
"Roaring in court, the crime is added to the first degree."
The county commander was shocked, and looked at Ma Pozi's mother and son coldly.
After seeing that Ma Pozi was so scared that she shrunk her neck and didn't dare to say anything, she said again.
"For the sake of your age, this official will not care about you this time, and he will be punished twice next time."
Ma Pozi has a great ability to sprinkle in the countryside, and when she really comes to such a place, she actually doesn't have the courage at all.
Just now, she was also anxious to protect her child, and she wouldn't squeak at all if she changed someone else.
Ma Pozi didn't want to be beaten, let alone her son, she wanted to confess Wang Yuanwai and Master Chen.
The mother and son may have a heart, Ma Chao turned his head and frowned at his mother and shook his head, not allowing his mother to speak again.
Ma Chao had the heart to defend himself, but after his mother was also scolded by the county order, he didn't dare to speak anymore, and he didn't even dare to look up at people.
Afraid that something will be seen again, the county order will add to his sin.
Before, he was just thinking about how things were not done, how to explain when he went back, and how to pay back the money he used.
But he definitely didn't expect such a heavy punishment, he thought it was a big deal to be locked up for a month or two.
He wasn't afraid anyway, Wang Yuanwai and Master Chen would definitely save him.
Before he came, he said that he would do things for Master Chen, and Master Chen promised that he would be okay and could get back the land that should have belonged to him.
After Ma Chao looked for Zhang Laosan, he knew that the Shen family should not be lying, he was really cheated by his uncle.
Although he couldn't swallow this breath, he didn't dare to argue with the Shen family and the He family.
Originally, he was going to give up, but it was Master Chen who asked him to do this.
Master Chen used to be the son-in-law of the He family, but why it wasn't later, he didn't know the reason, and he didn't dare to ask.
But the silver is real, and he has no reason to get along with real money.
When the board hit his body, Ma Chao didn't have the extra mind to think about what he had or didn't.
I only hope that Master Chen will not pay back the silver for the sake of not giving him his share.
If so, it would be better if you could give him more.
In addition to the sound of wooden planks hitting the flesh and skin, there were also the screams of Ma Chao's mother and son one after another.
Obviously, three people were beaten, but they were the only ones who squeaked and shouted, Zhang Laosan endured it, and only made a muffled snort.
He doesn't know whether it's worse to go to prison or worse to play the board?
Later, he would rather go to jail, even if it was longer.
He must have been injured a lot after this meal, so he had to spend money to take medicine for the injury.
I don't know if that little bit of silver is enough to nourish my son's body, how can I use it on him to waste?
I've been a little busy lately, and today my nails are turned over again, crying...... Normal update will resume tomorrow
By the way, He Yuanling will come back as soon as possible
