Zhang Lian was so excited that she burst into tears. She originally thought that she was lucky to have rescued her lover, but her reputation had long been insignificant. She never thought that Miss Huajia would beg the magistrate to grant her a marriage.
She immediately cried, pear blossoms were raining with rain, and the morning flowers were like brocade, and Ye Cheng bowed and bowed: "Thank you, Mr. Magistrate, and thank you, Miss Hua."
Seeing the situation inside the room suddenly turn negative, Sun Tian, a wealthy businessman from Jiangsu and Zhejiang who was hiding in the crowd just to watch the excitement, immediately became unhappy. He walked in angrily and argued with reason: "Sir, Miss Zhang's family is a common flower.
She was bought with money, how can I decide her marriage to the Li family?"
"Are you Sun Tian?"
Ye Chengguan glanced at the man who suddenly broke in with disdain.
"Exactly."
Sun Tian replied neither humble nor arrogantly.
"How much money did you spend on Miss Zhang?"
"Five hundred taels."
"Very good, then I will take another five hundred taels to arrange this marriage for the Zhang family and the Li family..."
After saying that, Ye Chengguan waved his hand to the officer on the side with a cold face: "This person has ulterior motives and wants to kill people for his own selfish desires. He dragged him down and beat up thirty big boards to show the public."
"My lord, I."
Sun Tian was very angry, but before he could refute his words, he was dragged down by the guards and beaten severely.
There were cheers and applause inside and outside the hall.
After Li Tong was sentenced, Mr. Li and Mr. Liu helped their son into the court to express their gratitude. When they looked at Hua Rujin, the couple were beyond words to express their gratitude.
Mrs. Liu almost knelt down again, but Hua Rujin stopped her with both hands and warned her with a smile: "Mrs. Liu, there is no need to be like this. This is Mr. Li's own destiny. He has to meet a good man. I hope he can treat Miss Zhang kindly in the future."
"
"Don't worry, Miss Hua."
Mrs. Liu personally helped Zhang Lian up, sighed softly towards the lonely looking Mrs. Tan, then helped the old woman up, and said with sincerity: "My mother-in-law, today in front of the magistrate and all the elders in the county, I am here
I swear that I will treat Lian'er well, she will always be a good daughter-in-law of my Li family, and I will never treat her badly."
Mr. Tan did not answer, and slowly walked out of the lobby with dull eyes.
"Mother."
Seeing her old mother who depended on each other sadly pass away, Zhang Lian felt deeply lost.
Hua Rujin patted her shoulder gently, but she actually didn't know how to comfort her.
If you meet such a mother, you can only consider yourself unlucky.
Fortunately, Ms. Liu is a reasonable person.
She handed Zhang Lian into Mrs. Liu's hands and warned in a gentle voice: "Mrs. Liu will take Mr. Li, Miss Zhang, please go back early."
"good."
After the group of people said goodbye, Liu and Cuicui supported Zhang Lian, and Yuan Li supported their son and gradually disappeared in front of the county government office.
After the courtroom was quiet and the officers were preparing to order, the sound of big drums suddenly came from outside the door.
The voice went from weak to strong, becoming more and more restless.
"Who's playing the drums outside?"
Tang Haoran seemed to have lost his patience and scolded the guard at the door.
Not long after, I saw several officers escorting a young woman, followed by a half-year-old child, hurriedly in.
Hua Rujin took a closer look and recognized that it was Weng Yuan Waixuxian's wife Zhou and her young son.
As a person who is familiar with the law, she is well aware of the power of beating the drum rashly. Before Ye Chengguan and other officials could speak, she rushed up and asked in a hurry: "Ms. Zhou, it's almost night.
Why did you come to the county government office?"
Ms. Zhou recognized Hua Rujin and knelt down in tears, begging, "Miss Hua, please save that girl Nini."
When they heard Nini's name, Hua Rujin and Ye Chengwei were both stunned.
"What's wrong with Nini?"
Hua Rujin re-examined the mother and son, only to find that they were wearing plain clothes with white silk tied around their waists. She suddenly felt something bad: "Could it be that something happened at home?"
Her son cried and hugged Hua Rujin's knees and confided loudly: "Sister Hua, my uncle had my cousin arrested and drove me and my mother out of the house."
"It doesn't make sense."
Hua Rujin was furious when she heard this.
Ye Chengguan probably guessed something, and calmly walked up to Zhou and asked, "Nini was taken away by people from the Inspection Department?"
Mrs. Zhou nodded heavily: "It's all my fault, but this woman clearly went to Nini's village to inquire, and also mentioned that Nini is now being raised by my Weng family, and she is not in charge of the inspection department.
However, just now, the officers from the Inspection Department came to the house and arrested the person, and the son-in-law of the house of a commoner woman even forcibly drove us, mother and son, out of the house."
"How dare a mere son-in-law be so arrogant and domineering."
Tang Haoran was resentful for not being able to leave earlier. At this time, he was even more disgusted with Liu Jiang, the Weng family's son-in-law.
This time, he decisively asked Ye Chengguan first: "Sir, we have no control over the affairs of the Inspection Department, but it is really unseemly for a son-in-law to be so arrogant. Please order the arrest of this person immediately."
Ye Chengguan responded softly and asked someone to help Zhou's mother and son to sit aside first.
He knew in his heart that Miss Hua was very concerned about Ni Ni, so he comforted her warmly: "There are still a few days until the Mid-Autumn Festival. Ni Ni is not in danger of her life for the time being. You don't have to worry."
Shu Jinxuan who was outside the door also walked in at this time. Looking at Hua Rujin with a solemn expression, he seemed at a loss. He could only try his best to comfort her and said: "Cousin, don't worry, we will slowly think of something."
Hua Rujin didn't know what to say at this time.
I thought that the fate of the original owner was already miserable, but I never thought that this girl Nini would have to suffer even more hardships, only to escape from danger and end up in a wolf's den again.
Seeing the lifeless expression in the courtroom, Shu Jinxuan suddenly had an idea and suddenly came up with a solution: "Today is the ninth day of the Lunar New Year, and there are still five or six days before the Mid-Autumn Festival. Why don't I write a letter and send it to my brother as soon as possible, 800 miles away, so that he can be here soon?"
If the palace entrusts the relationship to be forwarded to His Majesty, there may be a turn for the better."
"It's too late."
Ye Chengguan shook his head: "Not to mention that this matter in Jiang'an County involves too much, how can I report it to His Majesty before we find out the ins and outs of the matter?"
He didn't clarify what he said, but Hua Rujin felt like a bright mirror in her heart.
The royal family has always been the most ruthless. No matter how wise the monarch is, they will not spare the lives of hundreds of people if they endanger the country and the country.
As a modern person, she knew that the so-called "Resentment of the Corpse Tribulation" that would lead to chaos in the world was just the Taoist's scaremongering, but in the face of the facts, she could not convince the public no matter how sufficient the theoretical basis was.
It may not be difficult to find out the monsters and zombies with red eyes and white fur, but the large number of corpses appearing in the river for no reason is probably not easy to explain.
The courtroom suddenly fell into a deathly silence.
After a long period of silence, the footsteps of the guards came one after another, and a rough shout of "Brother-in-law of the Weng family, Liu Jiang, came here" broke the silence.
When everyone heard the news, they saw Liu Jiang walking in with a majestic appearance, shaking a white folding fan with a contented expression.
The villain's triumphant face was vividly interpreted.
