The evil daughter-in-law of the peasant family in the splendid pastoral

Chapter 24 The Scapegoat
Li Changde said that he was speechless, yes, it is the most basic thing to kneel down when seeing an official.But he relied on his brother-in-law who was an official in the capital, and he was unwilling to kneel down, which was totally unreasonable.Although Li Changde was unwilling, he had no choice but to kneel there honestly.

Seeing this scene, Su Qingyao was surprised. This Li Changde has become so arrogant. She really shouldn't get into this big trouble, and Dr. Li's enmity... Su Qingyao felt very sad, she knew that, for Li Changde Doctor's hope of revenge is too slim...

Su Qingyao decided that after leaving the hall, she must ask Mr. Liu for Dr. Li's body back. It has been several days, and Dr. Li will always be buried in the ground for peace.Thinking of that kind old grandfather, Su Qingyao felt a pain in her heart.She stared at Li Changde's back, and secretly swore in her heart: In this life, the Li family and his son must pay for what they have done!
In the courtroom, Liu Sheng'an began to interrogate: "Li Changde, last night the Li Family Medical Center was on fire. You did this?"

Li Changde said with an innocent expression: "Returning to the adults, the grass-roots didn't know about it, and it wasn't the grass-folk's doing."

At this time, the outside of the court was already crowded with people who heard the news and came to watch the excitement. Everyone had heard about the fire in the Li Family Medical Center last night, and what's more, they had seen it with their own eyes. The people were caught by ordinary people, so everyone paid close attention to this case.

Liu Sheng'an said: "Oh? Is that so? But the people fighting the fire have already caught the arsonist. He is your subordinate, Li Changde."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone talked about it. It turned out that the servants of the Li family set fire to it. Everyone knew that Dr. Li of the Li family medical center died in the Li family when he went to the Li family for medical treatment. The body was carried from the Li family. When they came back, many people witnessed it with their own eyes. They didn't expect the Li family to be so vicious. It didn't count if they killed someone, but they even burned their house. Isn't this too unconscionable?All of a sudden, the crowd was furious.

Liu Sheng'an beckoned everyone to be quiet, and then said, "Witness passer."

Like everyone else, Su Qingyao turned her eyes to the gate, waiting for the witness to appear.

Soon, the yamen servant led a young servant with shackles on his feet and appeared in everyone's sight.There was no wound on the man's body. It seems that Liu Sheng'an did not torture him. Will this Xiao Si reveal Li Changde as the mastermind behind the scenes?

Su Qingyao pondered.

Of course the boy didn't have the style of Li Changde, dared to make the county magistrate not come down, even though he kept looking in Li Changde's direction since he came in, he still knelt down beside Xiaohua honestly.

Liu Sheng'an patted the gavel and said, "Who is kneeling down?"

Xiaosi was startled by the sound of the gavel, and quickly replied: "My name is Xiaoliu, and I'm Young Master Li's servant."

Liu Sheng'an said: "Why did you set fire to the Li Family Medical Center last night? I ordered someone to search for fire notes on you. In addition, there are oil stains on your sleeves. All these evidences prove that You set the fire, now please name the mastermind, did you obey your master's order?" After saying that, a yamen servant brought up a tray with a fire pocket and a sleeve inside.

There was no panic on the boy's face, but he felt as if he was going to die, and he said, "Return to your lord, this matter was done by the little one, and has nothing to do with the little master."

Li Changde at the side heard it, and cast an appreciative glance at the boy, which means, you did a good job, and your family will treat you kindly.This look, the boy understood, Li Changde thought he did it without anyone noticing, but he didn't know that Su Qingyao and Liu Sheng'an had already seen this scene.

Su Qingyao's eyes were indifferent, but she was actually very angry inside. This young man was obviously bought!If he didn't let go, it would be very difficult for Liu Shengan to punish Li Changde, but when she went to see Liu Shengan, she found that he gave her a reassuring look.

Could it be that he has a way to pry open this servant's mouth and let her pour out everything like beans in a bamboo tube?Su Qingyao thought.

The crowd of onlookers began to discuss again, if it was said that this matter had nothing to do with Li Changde, they would not believe it if he was killed, and all eyes were on Liu Sheng'an.The county magistrate who just took office in their Lijia Town has no airs, and he does things fairly. Everyone hopes that he can punish Li Changde who murdered and set fire.Get rid of this bully for their Lijia Town.

But many knowledgeable people knew in their hearts that Li Changde's Yue family was powerful, and a small county magistrate might not dare to do anything to him.

Su Qingyao watched the scene quietly without saying a word.

Liu Sheng'an looked at the boy coldly and said, "You said you did it alone? Then, why did you set fire to the Li Family Medical Center? Does their family have any hatred against you? What kind of hatred can make you do something? A move like setting fire to the house?"

The boy was speechless.

Li Changde was anxious at the side, and he blinked at the servant. Liu Shengan saw this scene, and he said mockingly: "Li Changde, do you have cramps in your eyes? Now the officer is asking the prisoner, so don't interfere." Does he, or do you know what he wants to say? Are you going to speak for him?"

Li Changde could only smile embarrassingly, knelt aside and stopped talking.After such an interruption, the boy had already thought of his words, and he said, "Returning to your lord, it's because Dr. Li of the Li Family Medical Center has ruined my father's heir, and he was angry in his heart, so he set it on fire." House, this matter is all done by the slave alone, and has nothing to do with others."

Liu Shengan slapped the gavel and shouted: "Nonsense!" He looked at Li Changde whose face had changed, and said to the boy: "I will talk about Doctor Li later, now, tell me why you If you want to set fire to the house, don't talk about the reason you just said, Mr. Li's real son is here! He is not angry yet, and it's not your turn to be a slave for his father's grievances. Could it be that you are Mr. Li's illegitimate son? Otherwise, don't you He will hate Dr. Li so much. He is more like a son than other people's sons."

The young man quickly knocked his head on the ground: "I don't mean that, my slave! My parents are still alive, and I am definitely not the illegitimate son of Mr. Li. I hope my lord will find out!"

Li Changde's gaze slowly turned cold as he looked at the servant.

The boy was sitting on pins and needles, he understood that he could no longer use that reason, otherwise, when the magistrate of Xia County didn't kill him, his master would kill him.But how would he make up a reason?The boy broke out in a cold sweat.

The crowd of onlookers understood that Young Master Li did not know how much benefit he had given this young man to take the blame for him!Everyone looked at Li Changde with disgust. In the past, this rich young master just walked the street and robbed the women of the people. Now he can even do things like murder and set fire to drive other people's families to extinction. This Li Changde What happened to the doctor at their house, how could he provoke them?
