First Empress Merchant

Chapter 9 The Holy Will is Unpredictable
The so-called "beating a snake to hit seven inches", her pile of filial piety, courtesy, kindness, and integrity were all thrown in front of Zhang Shizhong, and all the truthful words were thrown in his heart.

"Shibo knows that you are a good boy. When it comes to Liu Yangming, he dared to do such inhumane, immoral, and unwise things at the feet of the emperor. It is really unacceptable! I will definitely punish him..." Zhang Shizhong beat him angrily. He touched the table, but just as he was about to deal with Liu Yangming, Liu Shi unexpectedly brought someone to kneel outside the door.

"The housewife Liu brought up my younger brother, who is not as good as a pig or a dog, to plead guilty to Mr. Zhang."

Zhang Shizhong also said that he came just in time, he lifted his robe and walked out of the room, but when he saw that there was a woman tied up next to Liu Yangming who was tied up, he couldn't help frowning.

Seeing Zhang Shizhong coming out, Mrs. Liu immediately pressed Liu Yangming and kowtowed to him, "You bastard, why don't you explain your crimes to Mr. Zhang in detail?"

"My lord, Cao Min is guilty! Cao Min invited her maid Tweet to her brother-in-law's study for a tryst last night... Cao Min knew it was a scandal, but since it happened, Cao Min dared not lie! But Cao Min didn't know that her niece was there, and at that time Cao Min had a few drinks, and was sensual, and mistook her for Tweety, so... But even if it was a misunderstanding, after all, it was Cao Min who offended his niece and did such immoral things. Adults deal with it!"

Lu Lishi came out with Zhang Shizhong, and watched Liu Yangming endure the pain that is not humane to plead guilty. To be honest, she still admires it. It seems that this person can really endure any kind of pain in order to survive. !He glanced at that Cui'er again, and sure enough, he was wearing clothes of the same color as her, and even his figure and outline were similar, tsk tsk, Liu's tricks!It's just that this reason can't pass Zhang Shizhong's test?Thinking of this, he turned his attention to Zhang Shizhong.

Sure enough, Zhang Shizhong walked up to Cui'er, "Looked up at me, and said, who are you? What is your identity? What he said just now is true? If there is half a lie, you will be punished severely!"

Tweety looked at Liu Shi with a pale face, and seeing Liu Shi staring at her, she gritted her teeth and went all out, "Return...to my lord, the name of this servant is Tweety, and she is the maid in charge of cleaning. It's been a year, and...everything is the servant's fault, it's the servant's obsession, thinking that if he climbs up to the uncle, he can live a good life, so last night...it was indeed the uncle who was invited by the servant! Then the uncle mistook it When I was a young lady, my servant was right next to me, but my servant was afraid of getting into trouble, so... I ran away! This servant is guilty!"

Zhang Shizhong is an official, so he naturally has to follow procedures, but he should have been brought to court, but because of the reputation of Lu Lishi's daughter's family, he decided to settle it in Lu's residence.Of course, he wouldn't believe that it was obvious that he had saved his words, but after thinking about it, if someone was convicted, it might not be a good thing for Lu Lishi's reputation, so he would be very hesitant.

Seeing this, Mrs. Liu immediately covered her stomach and buried her head, "Master Zhang, now that a big mistake has been made, the women will never protect my younger brother. He offended Shi Shi, even if he has already suffered retribution, it is still a fault. There is no way for a woman to teach a younger brother, and the criminal woman is willing to be sent to the frontier with him!"

Liu Yangming reacted quickly, and immediately climbed up to Liu's side and shouted: "No! Sis, it's all my fault! Sis, you are pregnant with your brother-in-law's child, how can you follow me to be punished? My lord! Please look at me! In the face of my brother-in-law, please forgive my sister! My... niece! Please! Please intercede for my sister! Everything is my fault! I deserve to die! I deserve it!"

"This……"

Since the Liu family was also involved, Zhang Shizhong's considerations became more complicated. Everything else was fine, but the problem was that she still had Lu Yizhuo's child in her belly... So now he felt a little bit stuck, hesitated for a moment, and turned to look at Lu Lishi.

Facing Liu Shi's sharp eyes that seemed to swallow her alive, Lu Lishi wanted to laugh but couldn't. Although she forced Liu Shi to kneel in front of her, but Liu Shi did it to protect her younger brother. Xin'er is essentially the same, she can control Liu Shi and the others, so why not control her because of them?Everything is fate!
Taking a deep breath, the hard pen squeezed out two tears by himself, then walked towards Mrs. Liu, and stretched out his hand to help her up.

"Er Niang, get up quickly! Even if you don't miss yourself, you still have to miss the baby in your womb! If you get pregnant, how can Shishi explain to Father?"

Mrs. Liu took advantage of the opportunity to stand up, and said with a slightly lowered face: "It's Erniang's fault, Erniang is ashamed to see the master, so she simply chooses another day to move to the temple, become a aunt, eat fast and chant Buddha all day, it is considered atonement .”

"How could Erniang have such an idea? Shishi... Shibo, I already know the cause and effect of the incident, which proves that the little uncle didn't mean it. In addition, last night Shishi hurt the little uncle unintentionally in order to protect herself. The matter... just forget it, Shibo doesn't need to pursue it anymore!" Lu Lishi really couldn't pretend anymore, she could only turn to Zhang Shizhong, but at the end, she bit her lower lip tightly and turned her head to the side, then Anyone could see that she was swallowing all the grievances alive.

Zhang Shizhong naturally felt sorry for her, and sighed silently, "You are a good boy who is well-educated and reasonable. It would be best if you think so, but Shibo said that he would give you an explanation, so he will never wrong you!"

"Shibo, no...no need!" Lu Lishi looked at Zhang Shizhong with tears in her eyes, showing a little panic.

Zhang Shizhong patted her on the shoulder, then walked in front of Mrs. Liu and said with a serious face: "Mrs. Lu, from this incident until now, I have not dragged Lingdi to the court. Do you know my intentions?"

When Mrs. Liu heard this, she immediately knelt down, "The woman knows that Mr. Zhang did not disclose this matter to the world because of his friendship with my master in the past. The woman will never forget your kindness in this lifetime!"

Zhang Shizhong stroked his beard and said, "It's good if you know. But since my younger brother has done something wrong, he has to bear the consequences. Does Madam Lu have anything to say?"

Mrs. Liu leaned down and pressed her forehead to the ground, "The woman has nothing to say!"

Zhang Shizhong nodded in relief, then looked at Liu Yangming, "Liu Yangming, do you have anything else to say?"

Liu Yangming also kowtowed to the ground, "It's up to the adults to decide!"

"Very well, I was going to send you to the Youzhou Mine, but because you regretted it and you were injured, I ordered you to recuperate at home for half a year and take care of his wife and children for your dear student. Do good deeds, go to Youzhou as soon as the time is up, and come back after two years, if another evil deed occurs during this period, it will definitely not be as simple as a distribution! Do you have any objections?"

"Caomin has no objection! Caomin thank you for your kindness!"

Lu Lishi watched the live version of the closed case from the side, and confirmed the saying that people don't quarrel with officials. A person's life has been rushing for dozens of years. Whether they live well or not depends on what the official said.

"Poetry?"

"Shishi is here." Lu Lishi was still immersed in her own thoughts, if it wasn't for Xiner's reminder, she would not have noticed that Zhang Shizhong was calling her.
