Chapter 49: Imprisonment (Second Watch)

After the last piece of evidence was finished, everyone was stunned!

Of course, only the Xie clan and the Liu family knew that they were clearly trying to get Mei Lan just now.

Hu San also widened his eyes, but he didn't expect that the person he identified last night was not Liu Ruolan at all.

That is, from the very beginning, their ploy failed.

Mei Lan was obviously at a loss, she didn't expect such a trend at all, and the housekeeper outside the court slapped her thigh and secretly scolded Mei Lan for being too stupid, and this time I was afraid that it would affect Miss's reputation.

Without waiting for Mei Lan to argue for herself, she heard the nonsense laughing.

"I see! I see! Mei Lan, what else is there to say now, you have recruited it. I can't escape a stick beating left and right, I Hu San admitted, it was indeed me Hu San who had bad intentions and deserved to be beaten. But you are a delicate little girl, you have to think clearly, don't carry the black pot for the master, you can't marry someone with a stigma all your life! ”

Mei Lan's face was pale, and she only felt that all her strength had been drained, and then she tilted her body and sat on her knees, and she had no idea for a while.

The housekeeper of the Song family outside was so angry that he really wanted to rush up and beat Hu Sanyi violently, but he couldn't do anything, and now he could only turn to the Liu Mansion for help.

Mei Lan didn't confess the young lady, only said that she had a bad heart, and she couldn't see that a country woman could also have the identity of a talented lady, so she wanted to ruin her reputation.

It's just that I don't know how many people believe her words.

At least, none of the people above the court believed it.

Mei Lan didn't dare to confess to Miss, otherwise her family would all be dead, she was already like this, how dare she add trouble to the family?

Hu San and Mei Lan were both sentenced to 30 boards, and then detained, Hu San was sentenced to six years in prison, and he had to compensate the bitter master with ten taels of silver.

Mei Lan confessed that she was the mastermind, so she was sentenced to eight years in prison and compensated 20 taels of silver.

Because Liu Ruolan was not present, the thirty taels of silver were in Liu Shen's hands.

Liu Shen came out of the court, first thanked the relatives of the Xie family, and then asked his second son and third son to invite these relatives to sit in the restaurant and taste their craftsmanship.

Liu Xie's family was originally in-laws, but now that the wicked have been punished, the matter can be regarded as clear, so after the Xie family resigned, they went with them.

Liu Shen himself went to the back office to find his eldest son to speak.

Boss Liu is now the head of the county office, and it is not easy to sit in this position because of his talent and fame.

The county generally has 'six rooms', that is, the specific institutions of the county government, which are mainly the six rooms of officials, households, workers, soldiers, criminals, and ceremonies.

Boss Liu is now the head of the house, and he can be regarded as having a little status, and today's matter, it is obvious that the master has spoken for them.

Liu Shen asked his eldest son to come over, just thinking about asking him to thank his master and see if it was better to give Xie Yin, or to buy another thank-you gift.

"Daddy, I'll go back to this matter. The son was thinking about waiting for tomorrow to invite the master to have a drink with a few officials, and today's event is not only the master's help. ”

Liu Shen thought about it, at that time, Hu San was forcibly escorted to the ground, and the county magistrate only frowned, but did not speak clearly, it can be seen that the two officials were also showing goodwill to the eldest son.

"Okay, there are ten taels of silver here, you just have to take out the wine and food, and choose some light gifts for the master for the rest, we can't make people feel that we have helped in vain."

"yes, Daddy, it doesn't take so much. Go to the best restaurant in the county to eat, and the top day is five taels of silver, and it doesn't take so much to spend. ”

"Take it. Money is easy to do, don't let people look down on it. ”

"Yes, my son wrote it down."

"In addition, the county master, you also have to look at it and show goodwill, after all, we have benefited this time."

"Okay, the county lord is not easy to start here, but Mrs. likes the chicken soup and rice noodles in our restaurant, so it is better to go back and let my mouth bring the ingredients over and cook a meal for the adults and Mrs. to taste."

As the wife of the county magistrate, it is naturally difficult to go out and show her face in a small restaurant, which is a coincidence.

Liu Shen took everything into account, and then went to the restaurant slowly with thirty taels of silver.

In front of the Xie family, Liu Shen handed over the thirty taels of silver to Xie Laosan.

"Virtuous nephew, this money was awarded by the county magistrate to my daughter who is not angry, and since she has married into your family, it is not appropriate for me to take this money. I'll leave it to you first. ”

Xie Laosan didn't dare to take it, anyway, he would give it to his second sister-in-law when he went back.

Liu Shen stuffed a money bag into the hand of the young man, that is, the eldest grandson of the village chief, which was not big and heavy in his hand.

"Thanks to this little Langjun today, there are not many copper plates in it, and it should be a little bit of my old man's heart."

The young man refused to accept it, and the village chief also felt that it was inappropriate.

It was only later that Xie Laifu spoke, and the young man took the money bag.

This was done in front of everyone, and the Xie family naturally felt that the Liu family was generous and thoughtful and would not let people do day work.

This contrasted Xie Xiuran a little shameless, because when he was in the restaurant just now, he muttered: Thirty taels of silver I don't know how much the Xie family can get in the end.

When he said this, he had the intention to put pressure on the Liu family, so he didn't avoid them.

Now seeing Liu Shen's style, others only think that he is a villain.

The matter was solved, everyone was in a hurry, and Liu Shen called Liu Lao Er to drive them back in person.

When I came, I used two cars from the village chief and the patriarch's house, one was a mule cart and the other was a donkey cart.

Because there are many people coming, there are still many young people walking.

Now that Liu Lao Er has caught up with a mule cart, the speed of going back will naturally be faster.

The Xie family, Xie Rongzhao accompanied A-Niang, and deliberately made a grimace to show her from time to time, but the effect was not very good.

Liu Ruolan didn't sleep well last night, and when she woke up this morning, she felt weak, but she still managed to get up and talk to her brother and nephews for a while.

Now Xie's house is very quiet inside and out!

Grandma Xie, who usually scolds Liu Ruolan for being lazy and not working, has no movement at this time.

Gao was also a little afraid to nest in the house, thinking for a while whether his stealing of things from the second room would be exposed, and for a while he was afraid that Mei Lan would be able to involve him.

I don't know how capable that Miss Song is, and whether she can suppress this matter!

Gao was lying on the bed, tossing and turning and not quiet, as if as soon as he closed his eyes, he could see the picture of a servant coming to lock people!

This kind of nervous and uneasy mood can really drive people crazy.

What she didn't know was that Mei Lan didn't confess to her, but after Mei Lan was imprisoned, she was given extra care by her cell.
