Reborn Farmhouse: Planting Fields, Flirting with People

Chapter 300 Opening the Trial (9)

This old man Li couldn't bear the pain, and he broke out in a cold sweat, but he clenched his teeth and tried not to cry out.

After living for most of his life, he was a half-body who was about to be buried in the ground, but now he was asked to be beaten by the county magistrate in public!With so many folks watching, how will he behave in the future!Thinking of this, old man Li was ashamed and annoyed, and couldn't help crying.

The two big men gritted their teeth and endured it, but Song couldn't bear it, and screamed from the beating.The yamen servant who beat her didn't have the slightest bit of sympathy for her, as soon as she hit the board, she made her ass bloom.

"Ah! Ah! Hiss!..."

In the huge courtyard, only Song's painful cries could be heard.

After finally finishing playing ten boards, Song's voice was hoarse, and her face was pale, as if she had lost half her life.

The three of them rolled down from the bench and forced themselves to kneel on the ground.

Mrs. Song lowered her head weakly, opened and closed her lips, and said in a low voice: "Father...don't blame your daughter-in-law for being unfilial. My daughter-in-law did this for the sake of the overall situation. This is not a felony of murder and arson. Besides, you You are quite old, the magistrate will not punish you severely, and Li Shou will intercede for you for the sake of his own reputation.

If you plead guilty alone, it is good for our whole family, why bother to involve us all?Even if you don't think about us, you should think about Lao Si and Mingde... You should think about it carefully, is it the reason I said. "

Of the four daughters-in-law of Lao Li's family, Mrs. Song is the most eloquent and the most thoughtful. Even if she sells you, she can coax you to help her count the money.

Old man Li listened to her words. Although he felt a little uncomfortable, it is true that there is no other good way now.

Old man Li gritted his teeth, it seems that this matter can only be carried on his shoulders.

Suddenly, a yamen servant hurried over.

"My lord, two women came from outside the county government office, claiming to have a great connection with this case."

He Zhixian raised his eyebrows, the case is about to come to light, so there are still witnesses.

"Bring them up."

Suddenly, a bad premonition arose in Song's heart. The moment she saw the person coming, she couldn't help but widen her eyes. How could it be them!

The two knelt down and bowed their heads, their postures were humble, and they were all terrified.

"Sinister Jiang Chen from Caihua Village, I have met my lord."

"Cauliflower Village Jiang Xu, a criminal woman, has met your lord."

This claim is quite intriguing, and He Zhixian muttered to himself: "Sinful woman?"Then he said seriously: "What crime did the two of you commit?"

Mrs. Jiang Chen kowtowed again: "My lord, a few days ago, Song Shouye, the elder brother of Mrs. Li Song's natal family, came to me and asked us to spread rumors unfavorable to Li Shou, and promised us a tael of silver each. At that time He only gave us [-] Wen, and the rest will be paid after the completion of the business... This is the IOU he wrote to us."

The IOU simply stated: I owe Jiang Chenshi and Jiang Xushi one, two or four taels of silver, and the person who signed the bill was Song Shouye, with a bright red handprint on it.

Although the reason for the debt was not specified, it was self-evident.

He Zhixian's face darkened, and he said to Song Shi: "Li Song Shi, can you plead guilty? Or do you want me to summon your natal brother Song Shouye to court to confront you?"

"Woman, plead guilty." Song did not argue any more, and bowed her head dejectedly.

In fact, this IOU was not from Song Shouye's hand, and it's nothing to summon him here, and he can deny it.But from the moment she saw the two daughters-in-law in Caihua Village, Song knew that the other party had made sufficient preparations... the situation was over.
