Lay to win!Cannon fodder, he has become the chief assistant

Chapter 49
After the last piece of evidence was finished, everyone was dumbfounded!
Of course, only the Xie clan and the Liu family knew that they were clearly trying to deceive Meilan just now.

Hu San also opened his eyes wide, never expecting that the person he identified last night was not Liu Ruolan at all.

In other words, from the very beginning, their strategy failed.

Mei Lan was also obviously bewildered, she hadn't expected such a direction at all, while the butler outside the court slapped her thigh, secretly scolding Mei Lan for being too stupid, this time it might hurt the young lady's reputation.

Before Mei Lan could defend herself, Hu San laughed out loud.

"So that's it! So that's it! Mei Lan, there's nothing else to say now, you should call it all. You can't escape a beating, I admit it, Hu San is indeed the one with bad intentions, I deserve it You were beaten. But you are a delicate little girl, you have to think clearly, don't take the blame for the master, and you will never be able to marry anyone with a stigma all your life!"

Mei Lan's face was pale, and she felt that all the strength in her body was exhausted, then she tilted her body and knelt on the ground, losing her mind for a moment.

The housekeeper of the Song family outside was so angry that he really wanted to rush up and beat Hu San, but he couldn't do anything, so he could only turn to the Liu family for help.

Mei Lan did not confess the young lady, but only said that she had a bad heart, that she could not see that a country woman could have the status of a scholar, so she wanted to destroy her reputation.

It's just that she doesn't know how many people believe her words.

At least, none of the people above the court believed it.

Mei Lan didn't dare to confess to Miss, otherwise her family members would all die. Now that she was like this, how dare she add trouble to the family?
Both Hu San and Mei Lan were sentenced to [-] boards, and then they were taken into custody. Hu San was sentenced to six years in prison and had to pay the sufferer ten taels of silver.

Mei Lan recognized herself as the mastermind, so she was sentenced to eight years in prison and compensated the suffering master with 20 taels of silver.

Because Liu Ruolan was not present, the 30 taels of judgment silver fell into Liu Shen's hands.

When Liu Shen came out of the court, he first thanked all the relatives of the Xie family, and then asked his second and third sons to invite these relatives to sit in the restaurant and taste their handicrafts.

Liu and Xie's family were originally in-laws, and now that the villain has been punished, the matter has come to light, so after the Xie family declined, they followed.

Liu Shen himself went to Houya to find the eldest son to talk to.

Boss Liu is now the head of the county official's house. Because of his reputation as a scholar, it is not easy to be able to sit in this position.

There are generally "six rooms" in the county, that is, the specific agencies of the county government, mainly the six rooms of officials, households, workers, soldiers, criminals, and rituals.

Boss Liu is now the owner of the house, so he has a little bit of status. It is obvious that the master has spoken for them in today's matter.

Liu Shen asked the eldest son to come here, just thinking about asking him to thank the master, to see if it would be better to give thank you silver, or buy another thank you gift.

"Father, I'll talk about this matter later. My son is thinking about inviting the master to have a drink with a few subordinates tomorrow. The master is not the only one who contributed to today's matter."

Liu Shen thought about it, when Hu San was forced to lie down on the ground, the county magistrate just frowned and didn't speak clearly, so it can be seen that the two yamen servants were also showing their favor to the eldest son.

"Forget it, there are ten taels of silver here, you just take out the wine and vegetables, and choose some small gifts for the master for the rest, we can't let people feel that we are helping in vain."

"Yes, Dad, it doesn't cost so much. Go to the best restaurant in the county to eat, the top day is only five taels of silver, it doesn't cost so much."

"Take it. It's easy to do things with money, don't let people look down on you."

"Yes, my son remembered it."

"Also, at the county magistrate's place, you should also look at it and make a show of favor. After all, we benefited this time."

"Okay, the magistrate here is not very easy to start with, but Madam likes the chicken soup and rice noodles in our restaurant, why don't you turn around and ask my wife to bring the ingredients and cook a meal for the adults and Madam to taste."

As the county magistrate's wife, it's naturally not easy to go out and show up in small restaurants, so it's a coincidence.

Liu Shen took everything into consideration, and then walked slowly to the restaurant with 30 taels of silver in his pocket.

In front of Xie's family members, Liu Shen handed over the 30 taels of silver to Xie Laosan.

"Nephew, this money was ordered by the county magistrate to compensate my unworthy daughter. Since she has married into your family, it is not appropriate for me to hold this money. I will leave it to you first."

Xie Lao San had nothing he didn't dare to take, anyway, he would give it to his second sister-in-law when he went back.

Liu Shen alone put a money bag in the hand of the young man, the eldest grandson of the village chief, it was not big, but it was heavy in his hand.

"Thanks to this little gentleman today, there are not many copper coins in here, so it's a little bit of my old man's kindness."

The young man declined and refused to accept, and the village head also felt that it was inappropriate.

It was only after Xie Laifu spoke that the young man took the money bag over.

This was done in front of everyone, and the Xie family naturally felt that the Liu family was generous and thoughtful, and would not let people do white work.

This made Xie Xiuran a little ashamed, because when he just entered the restaurant, he muttered: 30 taels of silver does not know how much the Xie family will end up with.

When he said this, he wanted to put pressure on the Liu family, so he didn't avoid them.

Seeing Liu Shen's behavior now, others only think that he is a villain.

The matter was settled, everyone ate in full swing, and Liu Shen called Liu Lao Er to drive them back in person.

When I came, I used the two carts in the house of the village head and the patriarch, one was a mule cart and the other was a donkey cart.

Because there are so many people who come, there are still many young people who are walking.

Now that Liu Laoer catches up with a mule cart, the speed of going back will naturally be faster.

Xie's family, Xie Rongzhao was by A Niang's side, and from time to time, he deliberately put on a funny face for her to see, but the effect was not very good.

Liu Ruolan didn't sleep well last night and woke up this morning feeling exhausted, but she still managed to get up and talk to her brother and nephews for a while.

Now Xie’s house is very quiet inside and out!
Auntie Xie, who would always scold Liu Ruolan for being lazy and not working, was silent at this time.

Gao also hid in the house with some fear, thinking for a while whether the matter of his stealing from the second room would be exposed, and for a while he was afraid that Mei Lan would drag him out.

I don't know how capable that Miss Song is, whether she can suppress this matter!

Mrs. Gao was lying on the bed, tossing and turning, and couldn't stay quiet. It seemed that when she closed her eyes, she could see the image of a yamen servant coming to lock her up!
This kind of uneasy mood can really drive people crazy.

What she didn't know was that Mei Lan did not confess to her, but after Mei Lan was imprisoned, she received special care from the cell.
