The lucky girl in the village has a good way of making money.

Chapter 344: Good Thoughts
"Sir! It's unfair!"

Wu Tai shouted that he was innocent, but the bailiffs acted quickly and carried him out. They started beating him with sticks outside the hall, where everyone could see him.

"Sir, please spare my life!" Wu Tai was beaten so hard that he shouted for mercy.

"Sir, I know I was wrong! Please spare my life!"

No matter how much Wu Tai begged for mercy and admitted his fault, Magistrate Zhang refused to let him go. He had him beaten with thirty sticks and dragged back. Then he asked, "Why did you slander Miss Li? Did you kill Chen Si? Tell the truth now!"

At this juncture, Wu Tai dared not to be dishonest any longer. He might end up framing Li Shiliu and end up making himself a murderer.

Therefore, Wu Tai no longer dared to hide anything and told the truth.

"Grassroots recruitment!"

"Your Excellency, please understand! I did not kill Chen Si! Miss Pomegranate can testify for me. I and the servant were tied to a tree by her guards. How could I have killed Chen Si?

At that time, Chen Si was holding a lantern and stumbling into the Mossy Lane. Not far from the tree, he tripped and fell headfirst. As luck would have it, he hit the stone and then stopped moving. I and the servant saw it clearly with our own eyes!
I am the common people who have lost my mind and am resentful of Miss Pomegranate for having us tied to the tree to freeze. That is why I came up with the evil idea of ​​framing and slandering Miss Pomegranate!
Your Excellency, I have seen clearly that I did not kill Chen Si. It was Chen Si who was unlucky and fell to his death!"

Wu Tai's voice echoed throughout the courtroom, and everyone could hear it clearly.

It's not uncommon for a drunk person to fall to death. Didn't Wang Da, who got drunk and fell into a river and drowned a few years ago?
So no one doubted Wu Tai's words. Wu Tai and Chen Si had no grudge against each other, so why kill him?

However, everyone was curious about why Miss Pomegranate tied Wu Tai and his servant to the tree.

Magistrate Zhang was also very curious, so he looked at Shi Liu, "Wu Tai said you can testify for him, but?"

Shi Liu said, "Your Excellency, I cannot fully testify to what Wu Tai said. After all, who knows if he can kill someone after being tied up? However, it is true that I asked my followers to tie the master and servant to the tree."

"Why?" Magistrate Zhang leaned forward subconsciously.

"Well, sir, why don't you let him speak for himself--" Shi Liu had an indescribable expression.

Magistrate Zhang glared at Wu Tai and said, "It's related to this case, why don't you confess everything? If you are hiding anything, then it's possible that you killed Chen Si!"

Wu Tai: Is this how you handle cases? Your Excellency is biased.

Although he thought so in his heart, Wu Tai didn't dare to show it on his face. He was afraid of death and pain. He had not recovered from the beating he received last night, and he had just been beaten with thirty boards. It almost took half his life, and he didn't want to be beaten again.

It's embarrassing, so be it, it's not a big deal.

At that moment, Wu Tai also gave it his all.

"I dare not hide the truth from you, sir. The truth is, I owe a huge gambling debt. I have gambled away everything I could sell at home. I only have two houses left, but they are not enough to pay off the debt. My servant gave me an idea, saying that if I could marry a wife who has a small fortune and can make money, not only would I be able to pay off the debt, but I can also gamble however I want in the future.
So, I have chosen Miss Pomegranate. Not only is she beautiful, but she can also make money. She is definitely the most suitable candidate for a daughter-in-law!"

Everyone: You are quite smart!
"Unfortunately, with my family background and reputation, it is impossible for me to propose marriage. So, I had a bad idea. I thought that if I had to make it a done deal, it would be a natural thing, right?" Everyone: You really are good at thinking!

"It just so happened that God gave me an opportunity. I met Miss Pomegranate last night. I thought I couldn't miss the chance, so I decided to take action. But I didn't know that Miss Pomegranate was not someone you could easily mess with!
Not only was I beaten up by Miss Pomegranate's guards, but Miss Pomegranate refused to let me go and had the guards tie us to a tree. Not only was I almost suffocated by the smelly socks in my mouth, I was almost frozen to death!"

Wu Tai sounded aggrieved, but everyone laughed mercilessly. He deserved it!
Many people thought that Wu Tai's idea of ​​taking a shortcut was a good one. If he could really make the deal and marry such a beautiful, capable and money-making wife, it would be a blessing for his future generations.

But when they heard about Wu Tai's fate, they couldn't help but shudder. How could someone who could kill bandits be easy to mess with?

Forget it, this shortcut is not so easy to take.

"Then Chen Si came in drunk. I was counting on him to save us, but he fell down after taking only two steps. My Lord, I really didn't kill Chen Si!"

At this point, it was clear that although Chen Si died from a large wound on his forehead, it was not murder, so the case could be closed.

Chen Si is a lonely man, so he can just send the body to the charity cemetery.

As for Wu Tai, Magistrate Zhang narrowed his eyes slightly. What he hated most was the prodigal son who squandered all the family property!

Therefore, Magistrate Zhang put Wu Tai in jail on the grounds that he molested decent women and had evil intentions that corrupted morals, and planned to lock him up for three to five months to make him suffer.

Shi Liu, who was still thinking about turning back to secretly teach Wu Tai a lesson, said: Well, wouldn't it be more fair to spend some money to ask the jailer to "take care" of him?
Wu Tai, who didn't know what would be waiting for him in prison, was relieved because the gambling house was collecting debts right in front of him. He was looking forward to it.

Now that he was in jail, the gambling house couldn’t collect the debts, and they couldn’t chop off his hands even if they wanted to!
As for what happens after you are released? It is more important to avoid having your hands chopped off!

Soon after, Wu Tai said: It is better to be chased by the gambling debts. At least he has someone to run away and someone to delay. Sir, please let him out!

At that moment, after the court was adjourned, Shi Liu walked out of the courtroom and saw that all her family members were outside.

She smiled and said, "I told you it was okay, why are you all here? You must be starving so early in the morning. Let's go to my eldest sister's herbal medicine restaurant for dinner. I'll treat you!"

Seeing that her daughter was safe and sound, Song was relieved, and then asked, "What about Wu Tai? Why didn't you tell us yesterday?"

Thinking that her daughter was being targeted by such evil intentions, Song was so frightened that she broke out in a cold sweat. Fortunately, Hu Zhen was with her daughter.

Old Man Li, who used to think that his granddaughter wasted money to hire so many guards, no longer thinks so. He thinks his granddaughter did the right thing. She is so good at making money, and there are countless people outside who are eyeing their family.

He felt that there were not enough people around his granddaughter, so he suggested that she should bring a dozen or twenty people with her when she goes out in the future, just to see which scoundrel would dare to have bad intentions!
After the fright, the family felt relieved, but their stomachs started to act up. They hadn't had breakfast and it was almost time for lunch, so how could they not be hungry?

The group then went to the nearest herbal medicine restaurant.

Shi Liu looked at Fan Jin in the crowd, but did not stop to talk to him. She just nodded at him.

Seeing that she was fine, Fan Jin heaved a sigh of relief. He watched her walk away and then took Bafang home.
