Chapter 29 Getting Back to Justice
The county magistrate asked the government officials to rush to arrest people and collect criminal evidence.

Ruoxuan suggested that they go to the gambling house in the city to arrest people. When they entered the city and passed the gambling house, she saw that Mrs. Zhao was still inside.

Mrs. Zhao was indeed inside. After stealing the money yesterday, she immediately went to the city to pay back the money owed to the gambling house.

After paying off five taels of gambling debt, she still had one tael left in her hands. She couldn't help but try her luck while holding the money.

After all, if she wins and recovers her losses, she can quietly put the money back.

Then, I really won in the first round!
Won the second round too!

so excited!
Good luck!

Then her butt sat down and never got up.

At dawn, Ms. Zhao walked out of the gambling house with a 200-tael IOU tied to her head.

Finished!

How could you lose so much?

I don’t know what’s in the brocade boxes in Liu’s house. If I steal them and sell them, how much money can I get in exchange for them?

Mrs. Zhao was really scared this time. If she didn't pay back the money she owed to the gambling house, her hand would be chopped off.

200 taels is too much!
It doesn't matter, during the day, there is usually no one in the weak family, and they all went to the ground. She went back first and stole all the things. She could sell as much silver as she could sell. Otherwise, where would she find it for 200 taels?
As soon as Mrs. Zhao ran down the street, Ruoshui brought the Yamen to arrest her!

above officialdom
Mrs. Zhao knelt on the ground, her two elephant legs shaking like a sieve.

Where has she seen such a battle before?

County magistrate Zhang patted the court: "Mr. Zhao, your husband-in-law sued you for intentionally setting him up to destroy your innocence, pretending to be happy, and defrauding the marriage! You also stole the mother-in-law's savings at home, and abused your niece. Is there such a thing?"

Ruoxuan pointed her little finger and quietly gave her a magic trick to speak the truth.

Mrs. Zhao hurriedly kowtowed and shouted: "Your magistrate is wronged! I really did those things. I know that my husband's eyes can't see at night. I deliberately poured sweat medicine on his wine to make him unconscious, and then pretended to lose my body. Pretending to be happy and tricking my husband into marrying me, but nothing actually happened."

After Zhao finished speaking, she was stunned for a moment and was so frightened. How could she say what she really meant?

She hurriedly waved her hands and said: "No, Lord Magistrate, I made a mistake! I didn't do those things! I just stole six pieces of silver from my family, and I also have a share of that money, right? It's not considered stealing! Xuan Bao is really She is an idiot. She almost chokes to death even if she eats custard. What does it have to do with me? She is an unlucky person who caused me to lose so much money. What’s wrong with me just pinching her a few times? Whose child is not beaten by the elders? He grew up with a child? Whose family will pamper an idiot like jewels and jewels..."

As she spoke, Mrs. Zhao covered her mouth and was about to cry!
No, why did she say everything in her heart?

Mrs. Zhao waved her hands vigorously: "Your Excellency, you are wronged! I am not the one, and I have never done what I said!"

The master of the yamen and the servants of the yamen looked at her in astonishment, so did she come to plead guilty or to complain?

Ruoshui and Ruohe were about to die of anger, and they knelt down at the same time: "I beg you to make the decision for us! Such a vicious woman, we dare not keep her!"

Mrs. Zhao was anxious to death: "No, my lord, I didn't do it, I really didn't do it, those were my thoughts just now, I didn't know how to say them all, my lord is wronged!"

Ruohe: "My lord, Mrs. Zhao has spoken out the truth in her heart, and she has pleaded guilty. She abused my niece, please be the master for my niece!"

"No, sir, I didn't! That's just what I said in my heart, I didn't do it! Sir, you are wronged!"

Mr. Zhang slapped the gavel hard: "Quiet!"

Zhao was so scared that she shut up.

Master Zhang said to the doctor on the side: "Doctor Lin, please diagnose Mrs. Zhao's pulse."

This doctor is also a clerk of the yamen. In addition to autopsy, he is also very good at verifying the body.

For a living person, he can know whether the other party is a virgin or a child based on the pulse signal, and even knows how many children the other party has given birth to in total.

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Zhao ran away, "I don't know the pulse! I don't know the pulse!"

It's just that she was quickly restrained by two yamen servants.

Ms. Zhao resisted wildly: "I don't take my pulse..."

Dr. Lin grabbed her wrist, and said after a while: "My lord, this woman is not happy, she is innocent."

Ruoxuan glanced at Doctor Lin curiously: Hey, there's something about this man.

Ruohe breathed a sigh of relief: He knew that he hadn't done anything.

Mr. Zhang was shocked: "Mrs. Zhao, you cheated on your marriage first, stole second, and abused the young children at home. Your behavior is bad, your character is vicious, and the law does not tolerate it. I will punish you with ten boards to serve as a warning to others!" You are required to return the bride price and stolen silver to the weak family within ten days."

Ms. Zhao collapsed on the ground: "Sir, I was wronged! How could I have any money to pay back!"

Ruo Shu took out two divorce letters from his arms and threw one of them to Mrs. Zhao: "Sir, I want to divorce Mrs. Zhao."

"Sir, I don't want to be divorced. If Ruohe saw my body, he should be responsible...well..." Mrs. Zhao was dragged down by the Yamen.

Master Zhang doesn't care whether others divorce their wives or not, "For divorce, after retiring, you can go to the master with the divorce letter and change your household registration. Retire!"

After Mr. Zhang finished resolving the family dispute, he went to the back of the county office to change clothes.

When he first took office, he planned to go around the villages below to investigate the people's conditions and see how to make the common people in the county live a better life.

Shaxi County is located in the southernmost part of Xuanyuan Kingdom. It has many mountains, miasma, wetlands and wastelands. He wanted to make use of these wastelands, but he couldn't think of a good way at the moment.

Ruohe took the letter of divorce and followed the master to modify the household registration, and removed Zhao's household registration from the weak family.

At this point, the Zhao family was finally dismissed!
Ruoshui and Xuan Bao were waiting on the cart outside, they saw Master Zhang coming out from behind in casual clothes, ready to get on the horse, Xuan Bao stopped him in a childish voice: "Lord County Magistrate, please wait a moment! "

Mrs. Liu has been waiting for the cart to enter the Yamen. There are several big bags of bamboo shoots on the cart.

Hearing Xuan Bao's words, she looked over, her eyes dimmed, and there was a flash of surprise and appreciation: Is this the new county magistrate?So young and handsome?
Ruoshui had a dark face and moved his body, blocking Mr. Liu's sight.

Liu: "."

She is just admiring beauties, so why is he in the way?

County Magistrate Zhang looked over and said with a soft smile, "What's the matter with Xuan Bao?"

Ruoxuan patted the large sack on the cart and said, "Sir, thank you for upholding justice for our family. These are wild bamboo shoots. They are delicious. I will give them to you and brother Qian."

Magistrate Zhang wanted to refuse, but when he heard a new name for food and Xuan Bao mentioned his son's name, he thought of the books his son bought yesterday, as well as those persimmons, dates and chestnuts.

The annotations on that book, even after reading it, he was amazed!Especially his views on farming are refreshing to him.

There are also those persimmons, dates, and chestnuts that even my daughter, who has always been picky about food, can’t stop eating.

Was it the family who sold it?

It seems that the weak family has a close connection with our own family.

He walked over and asked, "What are wild bamboo shoots?"

Weowu Shui said: "It's just the stems of wild grass. My little girl accidentally discovered that they can be eaten. It tastes pretty good."

He knew that if Master Zhang was a good county magistrate, he would have investigated the geography and people conditions of Shaxi County, and would have found that there were wild wild wild wild wild wild rice in many wetlands in Shaxi County.

Ruoshui wanted to get fame and pursue an official career before. He knew that discovering that these wild bamboo shoots were edible was also an achievement.

Magistrate Zhang was stunned for a moment, wildgrass stem?Are they the stems of wild grass that grow in the wetlands?

Mrs. Liu handed over a burrito made of wild bamboo shoots: "My lord, try it, this is a burrito made of wild bamboo shoots."

Xuan Bao nodded: "Yes, the bamboo shoot rolls made by my mother are delicious!"

Weak water: "."

Do these mother and daughter want to be so enthusiastic?
It was the wild bamboo shoot roll that he hadn't eaten!

The county magistrate, a handsome boy in his thirties who wears a beard to pretend to be mature and steady, is not as gentle, elegant and naturally beautiful as he is?
 Suave and elegant?When Mrs. Liu looked at his handsome face, she thought of his powerful arms and a fist that could break rocks with one punch!
  Mrs. Liu: Mr. Xiang, you have nothing to do with gentleness and elegance!At the beginning, I was deceived by your gentle and handsome appearance!
  She wants to find someone who is really gentle and refined!
  Haha ...

  Thank you for your votes, rewards and red envelopes!
  One hundred small red envelopes, see you tomorrow!
