Chapter 70 What a shame
It is also possible to plant trees, but it takes too long for a mature tree to generate income after decades.

One mu of land is taxed at 20 catties, 40 mu is [-] catties of grain, and two seasons is [-] catties of grain.

Roughly calculated, there are nearly [-] taels of food tax a year, which sounds really distressing.

Moreover, Xiao Jian is the mayor of the town, and it would be good for him if the people live and work in peace and contentment in his territory. He asked her to create more opportunities for the people to work.

She really wanted to yell, "Why me, aren't you rich too? Why me, hum! Forget it, I don't have the same knowledge as you"

Every time I come here, there will be changes. From now on, this will be the farm of the Luo family.

It is also very good for the whole family to come here to have a look.

Ji Kang had only left for five days before the mayor came to her house in a hurry.

"Xi'er, come out with me."

"Is something wrong?"

Xiao Jian called her outside, and said in a low voice, "Li Yue from the Li family in Taohua Village, sue Ji Kang, and follow me to the yamen."

"But what about my mother, she's at home alone"

"I told my wife, she will bring the girl to accompany her in a while"

"Oh, let's go then"

The two of them, each with a horse, hurried towards the county seat. Xiao Jian never thought that Xi'er's riding skills were so good.

At this moment, Li Yue, Ji Kang, and Ji Kang's former adoptive parents were all kneeling in the hall of the county government.

The county magistrate is sitting in the courtroom and is hearing the case.

"Li Yue, you said that you have committed yourself to Ji Kang, what evidence do you have?"

Li Yue touched her belly, "The child in my womb is the evidence"

Ji Kang's face turned pale with anger, he was really shameless, not only playing a rogue to force him to marry him, but also wanting to force such a green hat on him, it's really unbearable for an uncle, but not for my aunt.

"My lord, don't look at the fact that I used to be from the same village as her, but we haven't even spoken to each other. How can we talk about commitment?"

"Then why did she insist that you took her body?"

"As soon as she opened her mouth, she said that I took her body, but I also had a mouth, and I said that there was no such thing at all, and she framed me."

"Li Yue, he said no"

"My lord, I have witnesses. These two are his adoptive parents. They can testify for me. This Ji Kang went to Li Village to visit them. I happened to be at Ji's house that day. He saw me drunk and said nothing. In a word, I was pushed to the Westinghouse and occupied”

Ji's father and Ji's mother quickly kowtowed, "My lord, everything Li Yue said is true,"

Ji Kang laughed angrily, "Excuse me, when did I go to your house?"

"On March 26th, you walked back to Peach Blossom Village after school, and you slept at Ji's house in the evening."

Ji Kang gave a salute to the county magistrate, "They are talking nonsense, my lord, you can send someone to inquire, I didn't have enough to eat when I was at Ji's house,
They forced me to hunt in the mountains every day to make money. My leg was broken, but they refused to treat me. They even sold me to my current mother. This kind of person,
I will go to see them?I can't wait for them to die, besides, my legs are just a little bit better, and I can't walk a long way. How can I go to Taohua Village on foot in the dark?
Also, on March 26, I was at the mayor's house, having a drink with brother Xiao Jian, and then his guards sent me home.
The neighbors in the town know about this, but they see that my family is getting better, and now I have passed the Tongsheng exam, thinking that I will consider my reputation and marry her to achieve her goal, that's all.

It's a pity that the students would rather have their reputation damaged than to file this lawsuit. Please find out the truth, restore the innocence of the grassroots, and severely punish these bad guys who framed them. "

Ji's father and Ji's mother turned pale, but they couldn't take back what they said, anyway, they just wanted to stick to him.

Li Yue's family found them before, and said that after the matter was completed, half of the Luo family's property, the two families signed a letter and drew a mortgage for this matter, and the higher-level division of the Luo family's property was carried out in detail. really not bad.

The county magistrate nodded when he heard Ji Kang's words. The master beside him whispered something in his ear, and the county magistrate frowned.

"Come here, invite Dr. Liu from the Taiping Medical Center to come over"

As soon as Li Yue heard that she was going to call for a doctor, her face immediately turned green, she nervously twisted the handkerchief with her hands, and kept winking at Ji's father and mother.

Above the lobby, many officials with knives were guarding them. The two of them didn't dare to make any small movements. Their legs were weak now, and they didn't look at her at all.

After a while, Dr. Liu trotted into the court, and he saluted the county magistrate.

"My lord, are you looking for grass people?"

"Go and get that girl's pulse, and then tell the truth."

"Yes, my lord"

Li Yue wanted to run away, but she didn't dare, so she had to bite the bullet and ask Dr. Liu to feel his pulse. After a quarter of an hour, Dr. Liu took his hand away.

"My lord, this woman has been pregnant for nearly three months. Both she and the child are fine and have no other symptoms."

"Well, sorry to trouble you"

"It should be, the grass man has gone back."

As soon as Doctor Liu left, the county magistrate gave a slap on the gavel, which made the kneeling people tremble in fright.

"Ji Kang, get up and stand aside"

"Yes"

The county magistrate pointed at Li Yue, gritted his molars and said bitterly.

"You don't follow the right path at such a young age, you use the official as a monkey, and the yamen as a stage, but unfortunately your performance is too bad, come on, and get on the stick!"

The clamp stick is a kind of torture tool in the Yamen, it is specially used to deal with women, with ten fingers connected to the heart, this torture tool hurts more than hitting a board.

"My lord, my lord, the girl is wrong, the girl is wrong"

"Huh, it's too late to admit my mistake now. I have a relationship with another man, but I have come to frame others. If I punish you lightly, how can I deter those who are as shameless as you, who hate the poor and love the rich? For the purpose, Those who use unscrupulous means will be punished!"

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Li Yue was tortured by the officials. When the officers on both sides tried their best, Li Yue screamed.

Ji's father and mother were so frightened that they peed their pants. They trembled and tried to lower their existence.

Seeing Li Yue faint, the county magistrate said, "Fram someone else and imprison her for three months. Come and drag her down and put her in prison."

"Yes, my lord"

After the two officials dragged him away, the county magistrate's gaze shifted to Ji's father and mother.

"If you perjure yourself, you will get [-] boards per person. If you have children at home, you will be exempted from prison. If you commit the crime again next time, you will be punished for both crimes."

"Please forgive me, my lord, we will never dare again"

"drag down"

When the officials dragged Ji's father and Ji's mother out of the court, the mayor happened to rush in with Xi'er. Seeing his heart warming, Ji Kang was about to step forward.

The county magistrate came down from above and said, "Oh, isn't this Xiao Jian? It's really rare for you to come to the Yamen in person."

"Stop teasing me, what happened to my brother?"

"This official is not confused, nor is he a stupid official, nor is he a corrupt official. Such a small trick can be understood at a glance. Naturally, those who are sent to prison will be sent to prison, and those who beat the board will hit the board."

"It's fine to just kill them. One less person like this is one less. Kill the chicken and show it to the monkeys, so that these people will not dare to be monsters in the future."

"Here is the law, no nonsense"

"Hmph, then I'll take my brother away"

"and many more"

The county magistrate looked at Xi'er, "You are Luo Xi'er, I've heard of your name a long time ago. You grow vegetables in winter and earn a lot of money."

She smiled at the county magistrate and saluted, "Sir, who doesn't make money in business, don't you think so?"

"Haha, yes, I heard that your pickles are excellent."

"I'll come to the county another day, and I'll send you some products from my family"

"Haha, it's you who is on the road, unlike Xiao Jian, the stones in the hut are smelly and hard"

Xiao Jian glared at the county magistrate, he gritted his teeth, "I used to be a top-ranked Jinshi, but my words were so vulgar, it's really insulting to me."

The county magistrate laughed, "You, being a person and doing things is too rigid, what is insulting to the gentleman, what's wrong with a scholar, you have to shit and fart when you study, it's the same smell when you let it out before people, it's no different, it's hard to let it out when you're an adult , will it become fragrant?"

Xi'er couldn't hold back, she burst out laughing, Ji Kang hurriedly tugged at her sleeves, then turned her back, shrugging her shoulders.
