Nongmen doctor girl: flirt with a sick and charming first child

Chapter 31
An Jingchen walked in calmly, "Traffickers must make a profit from it. The students just listened outside for a long time and learned that An did not make a profit from it, so it is not considered selling.

The so-called smuggling of salt is nothing more than a moment of soft-heartedness, helping people who shouldn't be helped, and getting slapped down instead. It is obviously just a mutual help between neighbors, but adults must classify it as smuggling salt.Once her crime is proven, who will dare to help others with kindness in the future?

If the crime is proven, many people will follow the same example and make false accusations and frame-ups in order to achieve some ulterior purpose.If things go on like this, the world will become worse and people's hearts will not be the same. Once moral ethics are trampled on, it will be difficult to go back.Please think twice, sir, and don’t help the tyrants and become sinners for the ages..."

Qiao Muyao understood what he meant. Isn't this just like the old people who were helped to the ground in later generations and were blackmailed for medical expenses.

After the dispute went to court, the person who helped the person was ordered to pay medical expenses. In the long run, even if they saw someone falling in front of them, they would not dare to help because they could not afford the compensation!
As far as she knew, in this world with clear laws, there really was no such situation, but it was really surprising that An Jingchen had such insight at such a young age.

She had always thought that he was a nerd who only knew how to study. Listening to his eloquent debate, Qiao Muchao suddenly looked at him with admiration. It turned out that this ice-faced person was not stupid at all!
The good fortune of a scholar should not be underestimated. There is a person who "becomes a farmer in the morning and ascends to the emperor's hall in the evening." This boy is suave and handsome. If he has great good fortune in the future, won't his judgment become a handle?

Moreover, every argument he made was well-founded. The county magistrate did not dare to make a conclusion and began to consider it carefully.

The first thing Lizheng did after entering the city was to visit his son, whom he had high hopes for, and learned that Chang Junjie's bruised and swollen face was actually related to Qiao Muyao.He also learned from his son that the woman actually ruined his daughter's reputation in the city, and immediately had the urge to kill her.

Seeing that the charge of smuggling salt was about to be proven, and Qiao Muchao was about to be sentenced to death, who would have expected that An Jingchen would suddenly come out to kill him.

Didn't it mean that they were not compatible?

Doesn't it mean that he can't wait to divorce his wife immediately?
Seeing that the expression on the magistrate's face relaxed, he dared to wink at his sister.

Chang Wenhui immediately knocked his head on the ground and said: "Sir, the price of salt in the salt store is 143 cents per liter. Xu Dongzhi has personally admitted that she gave Qiao Muchao 145 cents. This liter earns 2 cents more. Five liters is ten cents. Miles.

Those young men who have no skills but are strong and healthy can only earn ten cents a day.Qiao's has a carriage to pick him up. If he brings five or six liters of salt with him every day, he can easily earn an apprentice's salary in a day. "

The salt is indeed 143 a liter. As for how many copper coins Dongzhi gave, Qiao Muyao didn't bother to count because she believed too much.

But how could she know that Xu Dongzhi would be hiding such thoughts at that time...

Just as he was thinking about how to respond, he suddenly heard the county magistrate ask: "Ms. An Qiao, is this possible?"

If Xu Dongzhi intends to cause harm, even if she doesn't admit it, she can still prove that she gave 145 copper coins.

Qiao Muyao could only say bluntly: "I was in a hurry to come to the city at that time, and I believed in her character, so I didn't care."

"Mr. An, Mrs. Qiao admitted that they didn't count, and Xu Dongzhi has confirmed that she gave 145 copper coins. Now that the crime of smuggling salt has been established, what else do you have to say?"

The county magistrate looked at An Jingchen in a funny way, thinking that just now you said that I helped the tyrants to commit evil, now you should have nothing to say, right?
An Jingchen was a little dumbfounded, thinking that she had been sharp-tongued and clear-minded these days. He thought she had finally enlightened, but at such a critical moment, why did she act stupidly?

"The person involved, Xu Dongzhi, was not present. Who can prove that what she said is true?" An Jingchen looked at Chang Wenhui with a deep look.

"You kid!" Chang Wenhui clenched his hands hidden under his sleeves into fists, trying his best to restrain his anger, "I am doing this for your own good. If she is found to be selling illegal salt in the future, your If your qualification for the scientific examination is cancelled, where can you go to make excuses? This time we took the initiative to report it. Although it is a bit unreasonable, there is nothing we can do about it."

Chang Wenhui firmly believed in her daughter's words, and she also believed that Jingchen, who was knowledgeable and reasonable, would not like this woman who could only do menial work.But once a scholar abandons his first wife, it will inevitably become a stain on his life.

She had just deliberately amplified the pronunciation of "Killing relatives for your own good" just to remind him that if Qiao Muchao was found guilty this time, he could justifiably get rid of this miserable wife.

An Jingchen didn't know her intentions, but he still pretended to be confused and said: "Mother's kindness, my son appreciates it, but the fact is. After all, Xu Dongzhi is not present, and I am her husband. If I insist that I only give 100 Wen Can money also be used as evidence?" The county magistrate slapped the alarm again, "You are so unbridled that the court will not tolerate your childishness!"

"Sir, I can prove that what Chang Wenhui said is true. I asked in person at the time, and Xu Dongzhi did say that he gave 145 Wen. Many people in the village can testify." Chang Guihua knocked her head down and said.

"Yes, I did give 145 Wen!"

Xu Dongzhi, who was sweating and panting from exhaustion, walked in exhaustedly carrying a small cloth bag.

"Because the salt I bought last time was 145 a liter, and I haven't been to a salt store for a few months, I don't know the current price of salt."

Xu Dongzhi looked at Qiao Mu Yao apologetically, "When I gave her the copper coins, she really didn't count them. When I met them questioning me when I was walking under the big camphor tree, I told them straight. Who would have thought that such a disaster would happen. Mu Yao The salt I was given was more than the salt store. After I got back, I checked the scale and found that it was half a catty more."

Xu Dongzhi humbly presented the bag of salt, "There is so much left after a meal at noon. If you don't believe me, you can weigh it in person."

The boss took out the scale and found that it was half a catty too much as she said. If the equivalent market price was less than 140 per liter, this was not selling private salt, it was clearly a business at a loss.

The charge of smuggling salt was not found guilty, and Qiao Muchao was released on the spot. Li Zheng, Chang Guihua and others were very reluctant, but they could only watch her leave.

She thought Dongzhi had joined forces with them to harm her, but who knew she would roll over and walk more than ten miles on the mountain road to absolve herself.

Qiao Muyao held her hand, feeling indescribable gratitude in her heart, thinking that she didn't help the wrong person this time.

After leaving the Yamen, she realized that it was already dark outside. Qiao Muchao wanted to hire a carriage and go back with Dongzhi, but she said she was going to stay at a relative's house.

Thanks to Jingchen this time, if he hadn't been familiar with the Dacheng Law and the Law of Salt and Iron, and defended himself vigorously, how could he have gotten away so easily?

Li Zheng was waiting for someone to leave in an ox cart to bid farewell to Mrs. Dongzhi, and the two walked silently.

Under the quiet night sky, there were only a few pedestrians on the empty streets. Feeling each other's barely audible breath, the air seemed to become subtle, as if some kind of ambiguous breath was surging.

"you……"

"you……"

They spoke almost at the same time. An Jingchen was stunned and stopped. Qiao Muyao wanted to stop and let him speak first, but he also shut up.

The air seemed to be stagnant, falling into the awkward silence again.

Qiao Muyao was stunned for a moment, then Fang smiled lightly and said, "You better say it first."

"Where...are you going to go? The academy seems to be closed." An Jingchen's slightly magnetic voice sounded particularly gentle.
