I am doing meritorious deeds in Liaozhai

Chapter 378 But

Jiang Lu was so frightened by Yi Niang's weeping eyes and cold heart-piercing words that he fell down on his chair. He pointed at her and asked Magistrate Su in the hall for help with trembling fingers:

"Lord Magistrate, you heard it! She wants to kill me, she wants to kill me! She obviously hanged herself to death! How can she blame others!"

Yi Niang said resentfully:

"I once intended to entrust you with my life, but you just wanted to play.

Later, fortunately, Mr. Chen spent a lot of money to redeem my body and make me a good concubine.

Just when I thought I was out of trouble.

But because I was no longer in the prostitute and could no longer associate with me, you became resentful and went to Mr. Chen to accuse me of having an affair with you.

The twelfth lunar month of winter! I was kicked out of the house just like that, with no money on me.

But you found me at this time and wanted to take me back to Laienfang. How could I return it!

But I was a weak woman, alone, homeless, and had nowhere to go. I caught the cold and soon fell ill.

In the end, it was no different than waiting to die, so it was better to die, so he hanged himself.

I could have lived well, and it was all thanks to you that I was like this. How is it different from you killing me yourself? "

"Jiang Tong, is what Zhang Yiniang said true? You alienated her and Mr. Chen, causing her to be driven out of the house. Then she was desperate and hanged herself. Is this possible?" Magistrate Su asked.

"I didn't alienate her! What I said was the truth! She was still telling me her true love to me a few days ago, begging me to redeem her life, but I refused.

A few days later, when I went to Laienfang, I learned that her home had been redeemed by someone else!

What kind of love, she has no real feelings at all, she just wants to find someone to take advantage of and support her for the rest of her life!

I just told Mr. Chen what happened between her and me. How can this be considered a false accusation? "

Although Jiang Tong is afraid of Zhang Yiniang now, he was also aggrieved by what happened back then!

How can I not hate my sweetheart who fell in love with someone else in the blink of an eye?

The lame Taoist crossed one of his legs and said sarcastically:

"Hey! They asked you to redeem her and serve you alone, but you refused.

If she found someone else to redeem her body, what does it have to do with you?

You go to brothels of all ages, don’t you understand the rules of prostitution? If you don't redeem yourself, you still want to have someone else to yourself? Do you want to let a prostitute protect you for just spending money to spend the night?

Oh, I forgot, you never follow other people's rules, you only care about your own convenience!

You are said to be wealthy and a wealthy businessman, but you are stingy than anyone else, very poor at heart, and just want to take advantage of others.

Who the hell wants to spoil you? "

"You, you, you! Vulgar!" Jiang Lu was furious.

"No matter how vulgar I am, I can still stand taller than a villain like you!" the lame Taoist scolded.

"you……"

The more the two cursed, the worse it became.

Song Yushan looked at the melon seeds so much that he forgot to eat them.

This is really difficult to handle.

The lawsuit between the lame Taoist and Jiang Lu is easy to deal with. The shop has clearly stated the rules for doing things. If Jiang Lu smashes someone's shop, it will definitely be ignored. He will just be sentenced to pay the lame Taoist money.

But the lawsuit between Jiang Lu and Yi Niang was not so easy to decide.

Let's say Jiang Lu killed people, but he didn't kill anyone.

If you don't take action to kill, according to the law, you are not committing murder.

At most, he was of low character. He told Mr. Chen about Yi Niang's unpleasant past, which caused Mr. Chen to change his feelings for Yi Niang and drive her out of the house.

It would be too much to say that Yi Niang entangled Jiang Lu and took revenge. Although she was not killed by Jiang Lu, she did die because of him, and all her resentment was caused by him.

Judging from the law of ghost revenge, the resentment will be avenged on whomever it is caused by.

Without revenge and grudges, the resentment will be difficult to eliminate, and the resentment will affect your mood all day long, and you will be in extreme pain.

Ask Song Yushan to come and see that the grievances between Jiang Tong and Yi Niang are difficult to judge according to the law. The best way is for outsiders to not interfere and let them resolve their grievances themselves. But now that the county government has come to cause trouble, you can't say that I can't solve this case or take care of it. You can go and keep it private!

When Song Yushan was curious about what County Magistrate Su would do, the old man listened intently to the scolding between Jiang Tong and the lame Taoist for a while, and then patted the gavel.

"I already know the whole story of both cases. Do you three have anything to add?"

The three of them shook their heads, and then Magistrate Su continued:

"The case of Jiang Tong and the lame Taoist.

Jiang Tong knew the lame Taoist's rules in advance, so he still asked him for help, which was regarded as agreeing to deal according to the rules.

After being dissatisfied, Jiang Tong took full responsibility for smashing someone's shop and sentenced him to pay all the lame Taoist's losses, totaling 300 taels of silver, and apologized in public in front of his shop. "

"Your Excellency the County Magistrate..." Jiang Tong was a little dissatisfied, but the lame Taoist next to him had already bowed and saluted, saying that the County Magistrate had a sharp eye.

Jiang Tong gritted his teeth and admitted it.

The case of the lame Taoist only needs a few hundred taels of silver to be settled, but Yi Niang's case is very life-threatening!

County Magistrate Su continued: "The case of Jiang Tong and Zhang Yiniang.

It is true that Zhang Yiniang hanged herself to death. Jiang Tong did not kill Zhang Yiniang. Zhang Yiniang turned into a ghost and demanded her life. This was excessive revenge, and fortunately it would have serious consequences.

Zhang Yiniang, you must not be entangled with Jiang Tong in the future. "

Jiang Tong was overjoyed: "The county magistrate is wise!"

Zhang Yiniang's resentment was about to turn into reality, and she seemed to feel the same despair as she had before her death.

Now, she wants to drag everyone to hell...

"Hey! I haven't finished speaking yet!" County Magistrate Su said quickly when he saw that something was wrong with Zhang Yiniang.

The speaking speed has sped up a lot.

Song Yushan heard people in the audience whispering: "It's coming, it's coming! The county magistrate's 'but' is late but it's here!"

Sure enough, I heard County Magistrate Su say:

"Although Jiang Tong didn't kill anyone, you did put Zhang Yiniang into a desperate situation.

This is your fault, and you deserve compensation.

Zhang Yiniang had redeemed her life, entered Master Chen's house, and lived a peaceful life.

If you hadn't interfered, she wouldn't have been desperate and hanged herself.

Since you once left her with nowhere to go, no one to rely on, and no money for medical treatment.

It is too much to ask you to pay for your life, so I will sentence you to pay all your wealth to Zhang Yiniang.

It is only fair that you also experience the situation you faced when you harmed her.

Someone come! All Jiang Tong's property was confiscated and transferred to Zhang Yiniang's name! "

Before Jiang Tong's smile dissipated, he was stunned by the old county magistrate's words.

Confiscate all his property and give it to that prostitute Zhang Yiniang? Why?

But no matter how dissatisfied he is, County Magistrate Su has already decided the case.

All the officials have gone to his house to be counted.

After hearing the verdict and seeing Jiang Tong's disbelief, Zhang Yiniang actually lost her resentment and showed her beautiful face: "Thank you so much, the county magistrate, for redressing my injustice!"

Rather than killing Jiang Tong herself, she felt it would be more satisfying to make him penniless and desperate.
