Pastoral Full Fragrance: Fool Xiang Gong is so black-bellied

Chapter 720 Official Business (5)

Although execution was not his original intention, it was also the fastest and most effective method.

"Yes!" A few yamen servants with three big and thick hands grabbed them and started to execute them.

Some of them started to get scared, and kept begging: "I said... I will say everything! Please don't execute me, my lord."

Yuan Liang made a stop gesture, and the yamen servant stopped immediately.He stared at him sharply, and said, "Hurry up and tell the truth about what happened."

Afterwards, the man was found.

It turned out that the restaurant only opened for business last year, and Jia, the shopkeeper, had come out of a bandit's lair, and just because he robbed a lot of money, he started his own business.

Of course, business is not so easy to do.

It was only when he was doing business that he realized that the price of vegetables was so high that he couldn’t make much money at all, not as much money as he made as a bandit, so he started some stealthy activities, going around the village to steal cattle.

At the beginning, he was still very afraid of being arrested by the government, but the actual situation was that he was not caught even once, which fueled his temperament of stealing, and he became more and more daring.

This time he committed the crime, he also thought that the government would not accept it, so he committed the crime against the wind. He did not expect to catch the current one, and he was caught in less than a day, which is really unlucky.

The truth of the case has been revealed. Yuan Liang ordered the prisoner Jia to be arrested and brought to justice, and then began to issue a judgment, saying: "The prisoner Jia stole other people's property, and now I want you to return it."

Jia said angrily: "The cow is dead, where can I find the original and return it?"

"This is your business!" Yuan Liang said in a cold tone: "Either you compensate Wu for a cow that is exactly the same, or pay him the equivalent amount of money, you choose!"

Jia said: "I will lose money."

He was caught and could only count himself unlucky.

Yuan Liang slapped the gavel and said, "Okay, Jia's restaurant is not in operation, and it will be sealed up immediately."

The onlookers shouted: "Good!"

"You..." Jia glared, with a ferocious look on his face. This is the banditry he has been a bandit all year round, but Yuan Liang is not afraid of him. Since ancient times, evil has prevailed over good, and he represents the side of justice.

Yuanliang's light words came over, and he said, "Why, is my punishment too light? Do you want a more severe one?"

Jia bit his lower lip tightly, not daring to speak out.

At this time, the people who had lost their cows rushed into the court, knelt down one after another, and said, "My lord, you have to make the decision for us. We also lost our cow a while ago."

Yuan Liang frowned. He didn't know what the situation was, but since the matter had already happened, he had to deal with it properly. He said, "Jia, during the time you committed the crime, you stole cows for many years, and you brought them truthfully."

He didn't expect him to answer so boldly.

Jia said in an arrogant tone, "Not many, just a dozen or so."

He thought he didn't dare to do anything to himself, so he said that, but he didn't expect Yuan Liang to sneer, and he said: "Well, I will sentence you to return the cows you stole recently. If you don't return them, you Maybe I don’t need to go out of this gate today, or it’s okay to swim in the prison.”

His understated words were all threatening.

For Jia, he seems to care more about his freedom than money. In his opinion, he can earn money if he loses his money, but losing his freedom means he really has nothing.

Jia gritted his teeth and said, "If you are cruel, I will pay you back!"

He robbed a lot of money in the past few years, but his family still has a lot of wealth.
