Chapter 978 Confrontation in Court
However, before he could say anything about the account books, Old Li hurriedly wiped the sweat from his forehead and added.

"My lord, why don't you let Li Xiu'er come out and confront him?"

Ling Fan raised the corners of his lips inexplicably when he heard the words. This Li Xiuer is in the back office of the county government. It is much faster to pass her on than to go to Lijia Village, and he doesn't want to waste more time. This is exactly what he wants, so he agrees down.

"Alright, pass it on to Li Xiu'er."

As soon as Ling Fan gave an order, his own yamen came to fetch him.

After yesterday's interrogation, she knew that she would not be imprisoned and only needed to serve for a hundred days. Li Xiu'er just put her heart into her stomach, but she didn't want to hear that the Li family came to reverse the case just now.

Although she did not hear the trial in the front hall, there were gossip from time to time in the back.

Li Xiu'er followed the yamen's servants slowly, and saw Li's third daughter-in-law lying there with bruises, and her heart was even more troubled. Yesterday, the county magistrate was promoted to court for interrogation without torture. It was the first time for her to see Seeing this scene, he was even more frightened and shivering.

And the third daughter-in-law of the Li family didn't even dare to take a breath. The second elders of the Li family saw her with tears in their eyes. The people on the ground just glanced at her lightly, and couldn't see anything from her eyes.

Li Xiu'er moved tremblingly to kneel beside Mrs. Li, and kowtowed to the people sitting high in the hall.

"Kowtow to see the adults."

Although he didn't dare to be presumptuous in the courtroom, he couldn't stop Old Li from throwing his knife at Li Xiu'er, and Mrs. Li took advantage of people's unpreparedness and squeezed Li Xiu'er's back fiercely.

Li Xiu'er gasped in pain, but she didn't dare to say a word, she was afraid that if she spoke out suddenly, if the county magistrate convicted her of yelling at the court, she would have to be punished, compared to being pinched twice by her mother Down is nothing.

It's just that the small actions they thought they were hiding, how could they hide it from Ling Fan? Even the people in the rear clearly saw Mrs. Li's actions, and they all sighed.

How could others be allowed to be presumptuous in this court, Ling Fan casually pointed to a place to keep her away from the Li family, so as to prevent them from colluding with each other.

"Li Xiu'er, you kneel aside, I ask you, and you answer."

"It's an adult!"

Li Xiu'er couldn't resist being able to keep her away from her mother's clutches for a while, so she hurriedly moved aside, away from her mother.

After Li Xiu'er knelt down, Ling Fan started to ask questions.

"Your parents said that you were the mastermind of the abduction and trafficking of women and children, and Li Laosan was deceived by you and didn't know about it, right?"

Li Xiuer was startled when she heard the words, she couldn't help but look up at Ling Fan, seeing his expression was condensed, she turned her head to look at the elders of the Li family.

But seeing old Li blinking at her desperately, he thought he wanted her to admit it in person.

Li Xiu'er couldn't believe her ears, how could her parents treat her like this, knowing that she didn't do it, yet want her to take the blame for her third brother.

Li Xiu'er was heartbroken, knowing that she was not loved by her parents, but she never thought that they would join hands to frame her for the sake of third brother.

But before she could react, Mrs. Li thought she was unwilling to admit it, so she couldn't help yelling, "You unfilial daughter, do you want to piss me and your father to death? Why did you do such a thing by yourself? If you can implicate my son, it's your fault, don't hesitate to admit it."
