Chapter 20
The girl went on to say, "Today, just after dawn, Minnv went to the altar with Kumquat. Baozhu thought she was a good opportunity, and decided that I would not be able to return safely. But God opened his eyes, and there was a heavy rain. Baozhu's expectations were in vain. He also held a grudge against me, decided to take risks because of his lover's desperation, and poisoned others."

What Li Yan said was well-founded.

Zhou Bi had believed her for a long time in his heart, but what he should ask was to ask, "Then how can you be sure that the maid will be poisoned through the tea?"

"The reason is actually very simple to say. She wanted to poison the Minnv, and under the guilt and anxiety, there would naturally be flaws in her actions. The Minnv caught this loophole and frightened her. She was really caught by her. I freaked out."

"Although Minnv has long guessed this in her heart, but when the truth is revealed, Minnv"

The girl choked with sobs and couldn't continue.

Everyone's eyes were filled with tears. Ms. Li regarded her as a sister, but is she worthy of such a wolf-hearted person?
If the orb was here, everyone's eyes could kill her thousands of times.

Zhou Bi sniffed.

The little girl is so pitiful.

The girl in front of the hall was only thirteen or fourteen years old, and she was delicate and soft, just the age when the elders in the family would hold her in the palm of her hand and dote on her.

But now he was almost killed by the evil slave, which is really embarrassing.

Zhou Bi is also a parent, so he can't help but feel sympathy for her.

As for the criminals in the girl's mouth, those who commit crimes must be severely punished.

Just after Li Yan finished her statement, He Xiucai and Baozhu were also escorted in by the yamen servants.

He Xiucai, a scholar with no strength to restrain a chicken, was sent to the Yamen after praying for rain and was punished with thirty slaps.

As soon as he was released home, the bench at home was still warm, and then he was taken back to the Yamen. He was completely dazed.

On the way here, he was feeling uneasy all the time, always feeling that something bad was about to happen.

But he never dreamed that what he secretly planned was now clearly revealed.

On the way, he gave money to the yamen servant, but the yamen servant refused to accept it, and He Xiucai became more and more panicked.

At this time, he was caught in front of the hall, and he looked at everyone with blank eyes.

As for the orb.

Her hair was disheveled, her expression was in a trance, and her eyes were terrified.

The clothes were covered with tears, snot, or tea foam.

It looked like he had just walked through the gate of hell, and he looked extremely embarrassed.

Looking at the orb kneeling on the ground, Zhou Bi raised his eyebrows. This is what Li Yan said just to scare her.

To be honest, this fright even frightened him.

The little girl acted a little harshly.

Zhou Bi looked at the girl with dark eyes.

As if sensing his gaze, the girl raised her head innocently, "My lord, the girl just made her some tea, otherwise she wouldn't tell the truth. It's just that she has a guilty conscience and was scared."

Zhou Bi twitched the corners of his mouth, thinking, are you just pouring tea?
You took half her life.

Zhou Bi felt that the sympathy he showed her just now was a bit redundant, she didn't need it, really.

The people in front of the hall complained for the girl again.

"Miss Li is just too kind. This lowly maid will avenge her kindness. If it were me and others, I would have poured poison on this lowly maid, and she could still live until now."

"Master Qingtian, there are all the witnesses and material evidence, you have to make the decision for Miss Li, and you must not let them go lightly."

"And He Xiucai, a bastard, should be dealt with."

The people were so angry that they wished that the county magistrate Zhou would sentence Baozhu and He Xiucai to death on the spot.

Zhou Bi, "."

These people are not blind, the little girl is almost killing people, such people are called kind-hearted, fortunately they can speak out.

Zhou Bi pursed his lips, and coldly glanced around the audience, and then the people fell silent.

It still depends on the county magistrate to make decisions for Miss Li, they must not be honest.

Zhou Bi withdrew his gaze, cleared his throat, and shouted, "He Xiucai, Li Yan is suing you for poisoning and murdering her maidservant in partnership with her, do you have something to say?"

He Xiucai, who was shocked by this loud shout, came back to his senses.

Only at this moment did he realize that Dong Chuang's incident had happened, and he was about to face a catastrophe.

He Xiucai broke out in cold sweat on his forehead.

The words about decapitation kept circling in his mind, how dare he lie down and pretend to be dead, and jumped up.

This jump made people stupid, and the common people were dumbfounded.

what happened?

If it wasn't for the [-] boards, how could it still be jumping and dancing?
Everyone looked at Zhou Bi suspiciously.

Zhou Bi's face changed a few times, and his anger was burning.

The gang of bastards under him must have accepted bribes in private.

Nothing to do with his fart.

If someone else collects the money, he has to bear the blame.

It's time to get rid of such unhealthy tendencies.

Zhou Bi was in an extremely upset mood, so he glanced at all the yamen servants present with a sullen face, and slapped the gavel, "Come here, take the prisoner down and give him a heavy [-]-beating blow before dragging him to the hall."

He Xiucai regained consciousness, and then realized that he had done something stupid and had deceived himself.

Just passed the [-]th board, and after the [-]th board, people will be cold.

The common people cheered and kowtowed, "Your Excellency is wise."

After this praise, Zhou Bi's complexion finally looked much better.

After the thirty big boards were served, He Xiucai was carried back and thrown on the ground.

This time the yamen servants were merciless in their actions, and they beat He Xiucai with thirty sticks until his skin was torn apart and blood was stained.

He Xiucai screamed again and again in front of the hall, and everyone laughed and watched the play.

He Xiucai gasped and shouted for injustice, "My lord, Xiaomin was wronged, and Xiaomin had no grievances with Li Yan, why bother to kill her. My lord, you must not only listen to her one-sided words."

He Xiucai hated Baozhu to death at this moment, and stared at Baozhu fiercely, with poisonous eyes like snakes.

A lowly servant girl who failed to succeed and failed.

Before he asked her to poison Li Yan to death, she insisted on taking her time.

He didn't tell her to harm anyone today, but she was ruthless, and she was so stupid that she was caught on the spot.

She didn't regret her own death, but she wanted to drag him into the water together.

Not to mention causing him to get involved in a life lawsuit and ruin his reputation, it is even more likely to cost him his life.

He Xiucai stared at Baozhu even more sinisterly.

After thirty sap, He Xiucai's body was in bloody pain, but this pain was nothing compared to his own safety.

He Xiucai's consciousness became clearer when he greeted him with a stick of fire stick, and he knew what to do next to better protect himself.

It is absolutely impossible for him to plead guilty.

He Xiucai turned his head, trying to confuse the public, "My lord, you know that Xiaomin has never had any contact with her lowly servant girl. Li Yan is narrow-minded, and must have hated Xiaomin's words and deeds on the altar, so she took the opportunity to retaliate with that lowly servant girl." The maidservants unite to trap me."

"Baby maid, you still don't admit it honestly."

He Xiucai sternly yelled at Baozhu, "You were the one who was greedy for glory and wealth and murdered your master. What have you to do with me! Don't impose unnecessary charges on me. Why are you a little girl so cruel? What is the enmity between me and you, you insist on killing me?"

Baozhu knew that she was unable to excuse herself, and she was already disheartened.

She had no intention of betraying her lover, but she couldn't resist Li Yan's intimidation, so she confessed He Xiucai.

But now in this hall, He Xiucai went back on his word in order to protect himself.

She was shocked and disappointed by such a ruthless turn of events.
