Chapter 98

Seeing that Zhaodi who had taken the medicine slowly subsided her fever, and even opened her eyes and called out to her mother to tell her not to cry, Zhang Xiuniang almost burst into tears of joy.

At this time, Shi Dayong also rushed over, his face was very ugly looking at him now, it was obvious that his daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law's eyes were still red.

Zhang Xiuniang didn't dare to cry when her daughter was resting, let alone complain, but asked Lin Baozhu to take care of her before stomping out the door.

As soon as she went out, she couldn't help crying on the big tree behind the medical hall, and the people watching were very sad.Most of the fellows who worked in the medical center were used to this kind of heart-piercing crying, thinking which one might not be saved, so they just shook their heads sympathetically, and no one went up to dissuade them.

Shi Dayong also felt very uncomfortable, stretched out his big rough hand to help his wife wipe away her tears, and then asked in a low voice what happened.When he heard that it was really his father's hands, Shi Dayong stared at him immediately.

It's really good, I didn't expect that his father would actually dare to kill Zhaodi.

No need to think about it, he can guess the general idea.Zhang Xiuniang was different. After all, he had been working abroad for many years, and he was familiar with the temperament of the county magistrate's housekeeper. In the past, he would just spit behind his back, but he didn't expect that such a thing would happen to him one day.

If his parents hadn't been ruthless, if the second son of the Shi family hadn't pushed people into the fire pit for the sake of future, how could his daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law have suffered such misfortune?

Fortunately, Zhaodi is safe and sound now, otherwise, he is afraid that his family will be ruined and his wife will be separated.

Thinking of that possibility, the burly man couldn't help but turn red, and his clenched fists loosened.Even before counting nine cold days, it made him tremble all over, and even his teeth chattered.

But looking at his daughter-in-law who still had a wound on her head, he finally endured it, gritted his teeth and said slowly: "Daughter-in-law, you stay here and watch your daughter, no matter what happens, don't leave her side."

After all, regardless of Zhang Xiuniang's astonished expression, she turned around and strode away.

What happened after that probably never occurred to anyone.Shi Dayong, who has always been filial and obedient to the old couple of the Shi family, actually went to the door to beat him up hard, and then went straight to the academy and pulled Shi Chengcai out in front of the people in the academy. Yes, even nakedly publicized Shi Chengcai's hypocrisy and hypocrisy in private all these years.

If he hadn't been concerned about his daughter, he would have even wished to tell about Shi Chengcai's dirty tricks.

Shi Chengcai, who was beaten with blood all over his face, was dumbfounded. He had thought that his elder brother would be angry, but it wasn't him who did it. No matter how angry he was, he wouldn't be involved.

Besides, his parents would not allow the eldest brother to find him, let alone allow him to come and make trouble in the library.But he hadn't heard the good news from his parents, and he was uneasy, but he was directly dragged out by the murderous elder brother, very ashamed and annoyed.

In this short period of time, the students of the academy and the teacher and the dean all ran over. Seeing that Shi Chengcai's face was bloody and his clothes were disheveled, and seeing that the man who was holding him was murderous, they all began to criticize him.

But when people understood the ins and outs, the person who was already shameless towards Shi Chengcai became even more disgusted with livid face.

Although I hate it, I can't let outsiders kill people in the academy, so the dean can only frowned and said: "The academy is a place for students to learn from sages. What's the reason for you to call me? You are making trouble today." If you make a fuss, you will fight and fight, forget about it, if you don't restrain yourself, you will be in the yamen to reason."

When Shi Dayong came here, he had an unkind mind. How could he be afraid of punishment?It's just going through the yamen, hitting the board, and if you die, you will be sent to prison to eat. If you come out after a few years, at least you will vent your anger on your daughter-in-law.

Seeing that he was going to kill him, Qin Jinrui, who had been silent by his side, frowned suddenly, and moved his fingers slightly.Then a gust of wind came from nowhere, and it deflected Shi Dayong's fist by an inch, and the iron fist that was falling on Shi Chengcai's skull hit him directly on the shoulder.

Even so, it also shattered his shoulder bones, making him turn pale from the pain, and finally passed out directly.

After this incident, Shi Dayong directly threw Shi Chengcai in front of the academy gate, and then went all the way to the yamen with a sullen face.Unexpectedly, when he just entered the yamen, he happened to run into the old man Shi and three people who were sent under the pressure of Zhang Lizheng and others.

Now, he was furious again, and asked the county magistrate to distinguish right from wrong in the lobby.

After such a fuss, the desperate old man Shi had to confess the housekeeper of the magistrate's family, and by the way, he also yelled that the magistrate was his future in-laws.

The old man Left and Right Shi is not afraid, the reason why he decided to kidnap Zhaodi yesterday was because his son got the personal belongings of the county magistrate's daughter.Even, the two of them once had a relationship in Spring Breeze in the tavern.

Thinking of his son's shy look at that time, he thought to himself that the daughter had been broken anyway, so he couldn't turn back.Seeing that the magistrate of the county magistrate is now asking about the crime, and the guards around him are all disdainful, he can't help but blurt out that he wants to see the magistrate.

Taoxi County is different from other places. Now the military power and political power are still managed separately, and the county magistrate is transferred from the army, so he usually doesn't care about the lawsuits in the yamen.On weekdays, the county magistrate is in charge of the affairs of the yamen, and the magistrate is practicing in the barracks every day.As far as the county magistrate knew, the magistrate did have a daughter who was waiting to be married, but he didn't know who he was going to marry.

Could it be that he is really the second child of the Shi family in front of him?

Thinking of this, the county magistrate felt a little bad all over.What's this called? I'm not in a hurry to inquire now, so I quickly sent someone to lock up a few people first, and went to the county magistrate to find out the reason.

This county magistrate came to the barracks non-stop to see the magistrate, but as soon as he talked about the young lady's marriage, he was interrupted by the violent slap on the table by the magistrate.

"Fuck, who the hell dares to hit on my daughter? My daughter is a baby girl. What does it have to do with his shameless Shi family?" Hearing that the old man Shi actually said in public that his daughter had a relationship with his son , even the old and rough county magistrate couldn't bear it any longer, so he strode forward and asked people to prepare horses and planned to go back to the yamen.

But before he left the barracks, he saw his own soldiers rushing over, whispering something in his ear, and then the expression of the bearded magistrate changed several times, but he didn't make it in the end.Just let the county magistrate handle the case well, and don't allow anyone to ruin his daughter's innocence.

As for the involvement of his so-called housekeeper, that's even more of a problem. The left and right housekeepers are also domestic servants left by the previous county magistrate, and have nothing to do with him. If they do commit crimes, just punish them.

After receiving the approval letter, the county magistrate wiped the sweat off his face, and then returned to the Yamen with a grim expression.The old man of the Shi family is really playing him like a monkey, isn't this clearly asking him to be reprimanded?

Although he has no skills, he also vaguely knows that it is abnormal for Taoxi County to surrender a county magistrate who does not care about government affairs out of thin air, especially since this person has only focused on the barracks and the military since he came.If his guess is correct, this person is only here for a job, but the target is the Huns in the northern grasslands.

Naturally, he is not qualified to inquire about such a major matter. Although it is a guess, he also knows that this is a good opportunity.Perhaps if there is a change in the Xiongnu, this person will be transferred, and I am afraid that he will be promoted to another level by then.So now, don't make any foolish cases.
After thinking about this clearly, when he returned to the Yamen lobby, he didn't have any hesitation.

Coincidentally, Mrs. Lu's son Liu Jincai also came with Zhang Lizheng. He is also literate and even proficient in the law, so he handed over the pleadings to Shi Dayong and his wife during the trial.

"My lord, the county magistrate, we have the law: regardless of whether it has been sold or not, and whether it has been out of the country, it is all in accordance with the law of robbers, regardless of who they are. Today, I am on behalf of Shi Dayong and his wife Shi Zhang. Sue the three people in the hall for the crime of abducting and trafficking." Because Liu Jincai has no reputation as a scholar, when Liu Jincai said these words, he also knelt down respectfully with a few people in the hall, "The emperor once had a decree: Anyone who kidnaps and sells women Children who are sold to others as slaves will be hanged; those who are sold to others as subordinates will be exiled for three thousand miles; Moreover, it hurt people, and the crime should be added to the law.”

To be honest, the county magistrate is also annoyed. Taoxi County hasn't encountered abduction and trafficking of people in the village for many years.At most, it's nothing more than sneaking around, or it's a matter of rotten rice, and a few reprimands will be over.But now, it involves the issue of the daughter of his immediate superior's family, and has hurt people and caused public outrage. How could he not be annoyed?

This is not a good way to deal with it. Maybe the superiors will think of him. If it affects the performance appraisal, how can he be valued by the superiors?
Thinking of all the things involved, and the fact that there was a scholar in front of him who spoke with reason and evidence, Mr. Xiancheng suddenly had an idea in his mind, and immediately took a deep breath, slapped the gavel and started the trial.

Because it was seen by everyone that the three old men Shi entered the village to hurt people and steal children, they were undoubtedly charged with abduction and trafficking.Next, it is time to sentence them according to their purpose of abducting people.At first, several people still held their necks and said nothing, but when the big punishment came, all three of them were discouraged.

Just like that, the so-called housekeeper of the county grandpa's family, Chun'er's eldest brother, was arrested.The butler naturally refused to admit the deception, and said that the old couple of the Shi family agreed to the marriage, and even refused to admit that there was a girl called Chun'er.

At the same time, the guard on the other side also came back, and when he saw the county magistrate, he only said that Chun'er and his family were missing.Moreover, the servants of the county magistrate's family also confirmed that Chun'er was just a rough maid in the young lady's yard, and she just went out with the young lady a couple of times, and it was impossible to get the young lady's personal belongings.

Even, she is not the housekeeper's sister.

At this point, things have reached a dead end.But the case still needs to be tried, thinking that the old man Shi and the two men who did it are going to abduct Zhaodi to be a housekeeper, that is, a concubine, so they each sentenced to three years.But the housekeeper was beaten for the crime of deception, and by the way, he was punished at the county magistrate's will and kicked out of the house, which is what he deserved.

As for Shi Dayong, when he was an officer, he was devoted to his duty and he was a good person.Secondly, the county magistrate also heard about the Shi family's incident, so he simply reprimanded him and let him go.

I thought this was the end of the matter, but I didn't expect that within half a day, the old lady of the Shi family, Mrs. Qiu, had her injured son carried to the yamen, crying and crying.Crying and yelling for injustice, she attracted a group of people to watch the excitement, but she had the courage to take out a bright red crabapple from her bosom, clamoring that it was the daughter of the county magistrate who had a relationship with her son Underwear.

Now that her son was injured and the man was sent to prison, the county magistrate disliked him and wanted to regret the marriage.She even yelled that the young lady might be pregnant with her old Shi family's offspring, but she dared not deny it.
