Chapter 25: Self-Inflicted Consequences

"Lin Gouzi is so miserable, he followed his mother to Zhao's house, he just worked at a young age, he didn't have enough food and clothing, and he was beaten by Zhao Deli every day, and now he beat the child to death, Zhao Deli, you are not human."

"I didn't!" Zhao Deli denied silently, "I didn't kill anyone, it was this little rabbit cub who didn't carry it, he died cheaply, it has nothing to do with me!" ”

"Then you mean, a random man gives you a few kicks, and you die, you deserve it, right?" Xiang Xi was about to laugh angrily at his robber logic, "Then we are weak women, and we accidentally beat you to death together, is it also your own short life?" ”

The people around were originally angry, but they laughed on the spot when they heard this, and even cooperated with Xiang Xi to force Zhao Deli over.

Zhao Deli's eyes were vicious, glaring at everyone, "You want to meddle with my family's affairs?" Let me tell you, my brother-in-law is the mayor of the town (modern mayor). ”

He already had a calculation in his eyes, "I just accidentally killed my stepson who stole ten taels of silver from the family, it's a family matter, just because this kid stole the silver, it is enough to be sentenced to twenty boards, and if he is beaten, his life will be gone, it is his fault first, and I am at most the fault of a mistake." ”

The people who were originally indignant had difficult expressions, and some even began to flinch.

This has to mention that the imperial court now pays attention to filial piety, and it is a capital crime for a son to kill his father, but a father kills his son for a dozen boards at most, so there will be so many wolf-hearted elders who sell their sons.

"If you miss and kill someone, you will have to hit twenty boards."

"Hmph, my brother-in-law is the head of the township!" Zhao Deli saw that everyone didn't dare to provoke him, so he instantly became arrogant and said triumphantly.

At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded in the crowd, "You said that your brother-in-law is the head of the township, so if you kill your stepson, you don't need to be put in a prison cell, right?" ”

Xiang Xi subconsciously looked over, and saw that the middle-aged man who was talking was wearing low-key satin, and the shoes he was wearing were soap boots that only Yamen people have, followed by two people who were closely protected, and at first glance, his identity was extraordinary.

Her mood is a little delicate, Zhao Deli won't be so unlucky, right?

In fact, Zhao Deli is really unlucky.

The person I bumped into turned out to be the magistrate himself.

Zhao Deli is still dying, "Who are you, don't meddle." ”

As he spoke, he was going to drag the boy who didn't know his life and death underground away, and looking at his flustered eyes, he obviously wanted to destroy the corpse.

"Arrest him!"

"Who the hell are you......" Zhao Deli saw the big knife he pulled out, and his whole body went soft.

"Hmph, our lord is the county magistrate, and he is really bold to bend the law in front of the adult!"

Zhao Deli's face changed instantly, as if he was bullying the soft and afraid of the hard, he knelt down and begged for mercy, compared to the injury on the boy next to him, he deserved it.

Xiang Xi retreated from the crowd, knowing that this scene had nothing to do with him, and I have to say that this kid was also lucky to meet the county order, and he happened to be not a corrupt official.

"Eh, where's the girl who just came out?" The county commander asked his subordinates.

The subordinates searched around, but could not find anyone, so they could only come back to report, and at this moment, the sleeping boy woke up, and the official who was supposed to send his body back hurriedly sent people to the hospital.

The county magistrate didn't care about other things, and arrested the township chief with evidence.

The boy was lucky enough to be taken to the hospital for timely treatment, and his life was worry-free, and he only needed to spend a sum of money to heal his injuries.

It stands to reason that Zhao Deli, the vicious stepfather, will definitely not be willing to give so much silver, but he can't bear to be beaten fifteen boards, his skin is open, and he can't get out of bed, and the money compensated for his stepson's medical treatment was directly sent to the hospital by the county order.

Even if Zhao Deli is not happy, he has no ability to snatch it back, he himself is almost paralyzed.

The brother-in-law in his mouth, the township chief, was directly put in prison, his family was demoted, and it was difficult to protect himself, let alone help him, and the news that the two of them were finished soon spread throughout the large and small villages under Helin Town.

Xiang Xi found out the next day.

When the news came to the village, even the village chief almost took the lead in beating gongs and drums to celebrate, but the dismissed township chief was not a good person himself, and in the past, the village chief needed to understand and register the affairs of the village first, and then the village chief reported it to the township head.

Generally, the big and small things in the village are decided by the township head, and the other party has been in office for many years, and he is really a corrupt official, giving himself convenience everywhere and making it difficult for the people everywhere.

What the village chief hates the most is that every New Year's Day, he has to give gifts to the other party, and he has to compare with other village chiefs, and those who give less will definitely be targeted next year.

"This aggrieved day has finally come to an end!" The village chief laughed heartily at home, and the village chief's daughter-in-law killed an old hen to celebrate that day.

When Xiang Xi got the news, he was preparing to enter the back mountain with Goldman Sachs.

The villagers were overjoyed when they said this.

Xiang Xi smacked his lips, "I really didn't expect them to be so unlucky, so don't we have to worry about Zhao Deli making trouble for us?" ”

Goldman Sachs rubbed her head helplessly, "I just think about it now, I'm going to be in trouble?" ”

"I thought you were quite bold at the time."

Xiang Xi is reasonable, "He has come to the door, and giving in will only make him gain an inch, besides, we don't have nothing to do, as the saying goes, good luck is also a kind of strength." ”

"So now we will sell boldly, not afraid of being troubled."

Goldman Sachs didn't talk much nonsense, and directly took Xiang Xi to look for wild peppers in the back mountain, and Xiang Xi mainly looked for materials by the way and exchanged them with the system.

She didn't have to worry about security when she followed behind, and by the way, she exchanged for a large iron pot in the system mall.

After picking more than ten catties of wild peppers, there was no one nearby, and Xiang Xi happened to take Gao Sachs to the place where she put the iron pot.

As she walked, she explained, "I had a dream last night that there was an iron pot in the woods, so why don't we go and see it." ”

When Goldman Sachs heard this, he only felt familiar, and the ginseng of the past few days seemed to come from like this.

With doubts and curiosity, he asked Xiang Xi where the east and west were, and he walked all the way, and as expected, he found an iron pot that was half covered in the soil in the dense forest.

He dug out the dirt next to it, revealing the true face of the iron pot, which was a little old but intact.

Goldman Sachs only felt magical, Xiang Xi showed an incredible expression at the right time, and said to himself, "It seems that I am really the darling of God." ”

She offered to go to the river next to her to clean the iron pot, you must know that this is the iron pot of the kitchen god exchanged in the system, and I heard that as long as you cook in it, you can ensure the original quality of the ingredients.

Cooking in a large iron pot will taste better.

This is what she spent 1500 points to redeem, but I don't know if the effect is real.
