Chapter 44
"A housekeeper came to us and asked us to sue Xie Mingzhu, saying that if Xie Mingzhu obediently handed over the tofu recipe, he would give us 50 taels of silver, and for every piece of tofu sold, he would give us a penny in dividends."

The county magistrate asked again, "Who ordered you?"

"it's him!"

Xia Manxing pointed to it, but found that the housekeeper who was here just now had disappeared.

"Mom, where's the housekeeper?"

Xia's mother looked outside the yamen in a panic, and there was indeed no sign of the housekeeper.

"Mother of the Xia family, is what the Xia family said true?"

Mother Xia nodded hurriedly.

"The sentences are true."

After Wen finished writing the confession, Xia Manxing and Xia Shi put their fingerprints on the confession.

The county magistrate glanced at the two confessions with bright red fingerprints on them, and reported the case to the public according to law.

"According to the regulations of this dynasty, those who make false accusations will be punished with one hundred rods and sentenced to exile!"

When Xia Manxing and Xia Shi heard the magistrate's words, they immediately sat down on the ground.

"grown ups……"

The county magistrate cast a cold glance at Xia Manxing who was begging for love.

Glancing at the female yamen servant standing on the side, the female yamen servant stepped forward and stuffed a rag into Xia Manxing and Xia's mouths, and the yamen servants worked together to take Xia Manxing and Xia's mother outside the county government office. on the bench.

One stick, two sticks.

One stick after another, landed on Xia Manxing and Xia Mu's buttocks.

With rags stuffed in their mouths, they couldn't even make a whimpering cry.

Xie Mingzhu heard the sound of boards falling on the flesh, and felt her heart beat a lot faster.

Qin Che held Xie Mingzhu's hand tightly with one hand, and gently embraced Xie Mingzhu into his arms with the other, covering Xie Mingzhu's sight with his chest, and covering Xie Mingzhu's ears with both hands.

"Don't look, don't listen."

Xie Mingzhu clenched her fist tightly.

There was an indescribable tear in her heart.

She, who is familiar with modern laws, would not agree with the laws of this era, let alone the Zhulian Nine Clans of this era.

But Xie Mingzhu also knows that the law and the law are the final bottom line.

Only when the laws are strict can no one take huge risks to commit crimes.

If the cost of sin was low, no one would fear the law any more.

It was precisely because Xie Mingzhu knew this that when she saw Xia Manxing in court, she clearly reminded her of the consequences of false accusations.

For a whole hundred sticks, there was no moisture at all.

With each stick, they hit Xia Manxing and Xia Mu's buttocks hard.

These yamen servants have long been experienced, and they are very handy in fighting. The lower bodies of Xia Manxing and Xia's mother are all bloody.

"My lord, the execution is over."

The county magistrate said: "Send him to the cell, and he will be exiled tomorrow."

Two female yamen servants stepped forward, one dragged Xia Manxing and the other Xia Mu, and forcibly took them away from the county yamen.

"Ming Yu, Ming Yu, save me!"

"I was wrong, Ming Yu, I was wrong!"

Xia Manxing was terrified, terribly terrified.

The divorce letter in her arms was already stained red with blood.

Every word she uttered was breathless and fragmented.

Xia Manxing only felt that she would die without waiting for exile.

She regretted it.

Regret that I shouldn't take risks for money.

Regretting that he shouldn't have listened to his natal sister-in-law's words, he agreed to sue Xie Mingzhu in court.

After all, it was his wife who gave birth to a daughter together with him. Xie Mingyu looked at Xia Manxing at this time, and there was a faint light in his reddish eyes that he couldn't bear to look directly at.

"You don't have to worry, Er Ya, I am her father, and I will raise her well."

Xia Manxing was extremely disappointed when she heard this, and wept helplessly, "Xie Mingyu, I'm still pregnant with your child, how could you..."

"Where do you put the money of the family? I'll get you a doctor and prepare some dry food and clothes for you on the road to exile..."

Xie Mingyu thought that he did this for the sake of her giving birth to a daughter for him.

Xia Manxing was stunned for a moment, but was still unwilling to reveal the whereabouts of the one tael of silver.

Xie Mingyu asked in disbelief, "Did you spend a tael of silver?"

"No, I don't have any flowers. I lent them to my sister-in-law."

The eldest brother Xie Mingjin frowned and said, "You lent all the one tael of silver from the division to your natal sister-in-law?"

Xie Mingyu sighed in disappointment, and said: "You know exactly how much money you have at home, Xia Manxing, it's not that I don't help you, it's that you yourself blocked all your escape routes."

If the silver is still there, although Xie Mingyu can't fight against the law for Xia Manxing.

But it is also possible to buy medicine for her, buy her clothes, and prepare food for her.

After all, they were a couple when they were young, and they were sweet and happy. She also gave birth to a daughter for herself...

That's it.

It's all fate.

"Ming Yu, I was wrong, please help me, I will live a good life with you..."

Xie Mingyu shook his head.

late.

From the moment when Xia Manxing stood in court against Xie Mingzhu for the sake of the Xia family and money, the relationship between him and Xia Manxing as husband and wife has come to an end.

The female yamen servant dragged Xia Manxing and Xia Mu away, gloating and scolding while walking.

"What a man, why don't you cherish him?"

"For the sake of the child, you can't do such an unconscionable thing."

"The road I choose, I have to walk down with tears in my eyes."

When Xia Manxing heard these words from the female yamen servant, she couldn't help crying like rain.

For a moment, all she could think about was the happy time with Xie Mingyu.

The sweetness that she had forgotten came to her heart again.

The Xia family values ​​boys over girls, and she is like a weed in Xia's family.

After arriving at Xie's house, Xie Mingyu pampered her, and her parents-in-law didn't ask her to go to the fields, and they didn't set up rules every now and then. The biggest complaint she ever had was why her parents-in-law doted on Xie Mingzhu, a fool?

She even forgot the most important point.

Regardless of whether Xie Mingzhu is a fool or not, to Xie Yunli and Zhao Shi, she is their daughter.

When parents dote on their daughters, this is a matter of course.

It's a pity... her heart is higher than the sky, her life is thinner than paper, she will never be satisfied... she will never see what she has.

Even the only tael of silver in the family was lent to her natal sister-in-law.

Before Xia Manxing passed out, there was only one thought in her mind, Xie Mingyu was still getting married, right?

What about Er Ya?
Her poor Erya, please don't become like her!

The big drum outside the county government gate was sounded again.

This time, the person who beat the big drum was an old lady with gray hair and patched clothes.

She bent her waist and beat the drum with difficulty.

One after another.

As if to break through the drumhead.

Xie Mingzhu was also awakened by the heavy drumbeat from the fear that Xia Manxing was covered in blood just now. She turned her head and looked over, only seeing long bloodstains on the ground.

Xie Mingzhu looked at the vicissitudes of the old man in front of the county yamen, and asked, "Anyone complained again?"

 Baby, the results of the water test will be released today!

  520, everything will go well, right?

  nervous! !
  Ask for a ticket~
