After picking up the daughter of the lucky star, the whole village prospered

"I didn't, how could I say such a thing."

Xiao Han was furious, pointed at Ying Bao and shouted: "You can talk nonsense at a young age, who taught you!"

"You are talking nonsense! I dare to swear to God that what I said is true, do you dare? Humph! You and your sister went to my house to try to abduct the child before, and even the neighbors couldn't bear to throw you a shit, so you So he spent money to hire Chen Ergou to do the murder."

Relying on her young age, Yingbao talked a lot, and even the paperwork couldn't keep up with the records.

Xiao Han didn't expect a little baby to have such a sharp mouth, and said angrily, "Shut up! You're so young, you can talk nonsense, and you really don't have a tutor..."

"You don't have a tutor, look at the things you do, which one has a tutor?" Ying Bao refused to give an inch, and scolded her with her hips on her hips.

"You... you..." Xiao Han's hands trembled angrily.

"Shut up! No noise in the courtroom!"

The magistrate of Meixian slapped the gavel, "Stop making noise and serve me with sticks!"

Xiao Han didn't dare to say any more.

Yingbao rolled her eyes at her, and stood obediently beside her father.

The magistrate of Mei County turned his head and asked the defendant Chen Ergou: "Report all the things you have committed. If you miss a sentence, you will be served with a stick!"

Chen Ergou knelt down on the ground and began to confess.

Finally, he said: "... Xiaomin was not upset that Jiang Sanlang put my wife and children in prison, and exiled him, so he discussed with his son-in-law to take away his child, and threw her into the wild to fend for herself.

Senior official, Xiaomin was confused for a while, and didn't mean to kill anyone. Xiaomin is a good citizen, and he hasn't even killed a chicken. Senior official, please spare Xiaomin this time. "

Liao Qilin, who was standing by the county magistrate's desk, asked, "Your confession seems to be different from Zhang Mazi's. He said that you were employed by someone and that you would give him a tael of silver afterwards. Is this true?"

"It's nothing, senior official. How could Xiaomin tell him this? That kid must be trying to extort money from me. Think about it, if someone really hired me, how could I not even have money for food?"

Chen Ergou's repeated denials made Jiang Sanlang and Yingbao very angry.

This guy must have been bought, but he has nothing to do.

"You're lying!" Jiang Sanlang yelled angrily, "Bao'er was obviously handed over to the Han sisters by you, but you're still quibbling now, do you want to get some benefit from them?"

"I didn't, don't grab and bite good people indiscriminately..." Chen Ergou dodged his eyes.

"Quiet!" Meixian magistrate slapped the gavel and shouted: "Jiang Sanlang! I haven't asked you to answer, so don't make any noise! ​​Otherwise, the stick will be twenty!"

Turning around to ask the defendant: "Chen Ergou, I want to ask you, do you know these two women in the hall?"

Chen Ergou shrank his neck and glanced at the Han sisters, and said loudly: "Your official, these two people, Xiaomin, both know each other, but they didn't hire me, really no, it's all done by Xiaomin alone, Xiaomin is willing Bear all the responsibilities, and never wrong the good people..."

Yingbao and the old man were so annoyed by the dog, they looked back at the Han sisters, only to see a smug look on their faces.

The magistrate of Mei County was very satisfied when he saw that the prisoner readily admitted his guilt. He just wanted to close the case early so that he could sort out the matter of resignation.

So the prisoner was asked to draw his fingerprints on the confession and prepare for the sentence.

Jiang Sanlang was dissatisfied, he took a step forward and cupped his fists and said: "Master, my daughter was indeed kidnapped by the Han sisters, you can't just close the case..."

"presumptuous!"

The magistrate of Mei County was angry, "When will I use you, a villager, to criticize the case? You think the Han sisters have to have evidence for hiring murderers. Just based on an ignorant child's dictation, you can speculate that they are criminals. You Are you playing with the court's laws? Or do you think that this official is stupid and can be manipulated by ordinary people like you?"

Jiang Sanlang was annoyed, but he could only bow his hands and salute, "Xiaomin dare not."

"Humph!"

The magistrate of Mei County patted the gavel, "This case is clear and clear. According to the criminal law of the court, I sentenced the first offender Chen Ergou to forty sticks and five years in prison. The accomplice Zhang Mazi was sentenced to thirty sticks and three years in prison!"

Chen Ergou and Zhang Mazi kowtowed, both heaving a sigh of relief.

At any rate, I didn't go into exile, I saved my life.But after being in prison for a few years, when the time comes to return to the hometown, it will be the same as farming.

Jiang Sanlang clenched his palms angrily, Yingbao quickly grabbed his father's hand and shook his head at him.

The sisters of the Han family showed joy, and called them Qingtian officials, and kowtowed to the county magistrate.

The magistrate of Mei County took out the official seal, stamped the verdict, and asked Lin Zhubo to write the verdict notice and paste it on the public notice wall outside the county government office.

Han Juniang suddenly said: "Your official, the woman has something to report."

The county magistrate Mei was in a good mood and allowed her to speak.

Han Juniang said: "To tell you the truth, the girl doll of Jiang Sanlang's family is actually the daughter of a commoner's wife. His Jiang family has always been domineering and refused to return it. He even asked the officials of the Ming Dynasty to make decisions for the commoner's wife and let the baby be returned to my family. .”

As soon as Jiang Sanlang heard that he was furious, he rushed forward to beat him.

Ying Bao hurriedly grabbed her father, told him not to get excited, and said to Han: "I am not your child, I think you are wicked, and you want to abduct me and sell me?"

The surrounding yamen servants saw that the two sides were about to fight, and they slammed their mighty sticks and roared in unison: "Mighty~"

The magistrate of Mei County also slapped the gavel, his face darkened, but he couldn't bear his curiosity, and asked, "Is there such a thing? Han, tell me what's going on."

Han Juniang bowed to Fu, the magistrate of Meixian County, and said: "The woman gave birth to a baby three years ago, but because she was born weak, she lost her breath early. My mother-in-law thought she was dead, so she abandoned her, but she was later Jiang Sanlang picked it up..."

The county magistrate of Mei probably understood the following as soon as he heard it, and waved his hands: "This matter has nothing to do with this case. If you have any disputes, you can appeal after the next county magistrate takes office. Retire!"

Jiang Sanlang was furious, but he also knew that he could not attack in court, so he picked up Yingbao and left.

When passing by the Han sisters, he sneered.

Ying Bao lay on her father's shoulder and said to Han: "I'm not your child, a bad woman! Your child was killed by you long ago! You should go to the underworld to find her."

Han's face froze.

Xiao Han was also very dissatisfied with the elder sister's operation, pulled her over and scolded in a low voice, "What nonsense did you just say? How can you say such a thing at this time?"

If the county magistrate hadn't wanted to close the case as soon as possible, would this idiot want to drag himself into the water?
"Don't mention this matter again in the future! That child is not yours, so don't make trouble!" Xiao Han said angrily.

Han shi lowered her head and responded in a low voice, but she was not reconciled in her heart.

"Also, this time my family spent a lot of money for you, and I will return the money later." Xiao Han looked at the eldest sister with a look of disgust: "It's a total of 200 taels, and I must pay it back to me a year ago."

Han exclaimed: "What? Why do you want so much? I don't have 200 taels of silver."

"Be quiet!"

Mrs. Han hurried out of the court, came to her own mule cart, turned around and said to Mrs. Han who was following: "Do you think you only manage one person? Where is this much money? I don't care if you have money or not. Money must be given, if you don’t have it, go ask your brother-in-law, or ask your in-laws if it’s not enough.”

"Also, don't talk about that child again. If something goes wrong, no one can save you." After saying that, Xiao Han got into the mule cart and urged the servants to drive away.

Mrs. Han was stunned on the spot, looked left and right, and saw the Jiang family looking at her. She was so frightened that she ran to find her husband, Chen Changping.
