Chapter 416 Dad, save me!

Since the Mid-Autumn Festival came out, he has not gone back until now, just waiting for a satisfactory result.

"Sir, when Yan Xuezhi burned my house and killed my whole family, please give justice to the common people."

Mrs. Ruan, who heard that the church was open today, came early. She was squeezed in the crowd and looked at Yan Xuezhi, who was so thin that she was only skin and bones. She felt her heart ache and bleed.

She wanted to step forward to say something, but her hands were held tightly by Xiang Xing.

If possible, Xiangxing wouldn't want to come, but her grandmother only had a son and a daughter, her uncle was kneeling in the hall now, and her mother was pregnant again, and she was not yet three months old, so how dare she ask her to run around.

She had no choice but to come because her sister said to watch her grandmother and don't let her do anything.

"Sir, my Xuezhi just set a fire and no one died. Please give me a lighter sentence. My family is willing to pay the money."

Yan Chunsheng was so confused that he only knew that Yang Tianchang wanted Xuezhi to die. He only had one daughter and he must not die.

Anyway, adults already know it, so just admit it.

In the past few days, he had also thought clearly that Xuezhi's crime did not lead to death, but he would only be imprisoned for a few years.

But she is still young now. If she is locked up, how will she get married in the future? What will she do in the future?

But if the adults are willing to stand on their side, they can compensate with money.

Didn't Yang Tianchang lose his house? He just needs to build a new one.

At worst, give him the current Yan family.

Yan Xuezhi always lowered her head and remained silent.

During this period, she had a hard time in prison and was bullied every day.

The women there were all fierce. The rice they brought was filled with sand and stones, and the vegetables were all unwashed, either half-cooked or rancid.

Even with such a meal, she was never full.

Every time she ate less than half, she was snatched away. If she dared to resist, those people would just beat her harder.

Those women were not human beings, and the methods used to beat her were unspeakable, and they were only beaten in those places.

She wants to leave here and doesn't want to go back, no matter what means she uses.

"Whoever wants your money, go away and die, I want her to die! If you kill someone and set a fire, you will have to pay with your life!"

Xuezhi, who had lowered his head at first, raised his head when he heard this and said, "I didn't kill anyone, so who should I pay for with my life? If your family's house is gone, my family can just pay for it."

"Compensate? My son has won the election. Can you afford to compensate me for my future glory and wealth? Do you think you are still Yan Shiqing's sister and you will pay if you ask for compensation? Okay, if you can afford a thousand taels,

Then let this matter be wiped out."

Yan Chunsheng, Mrs. Ruan and the people who were watching all took a breath when they heard Qian Liang.

They have never been able to save so much in their lifetimes, and this person is too open-minded.

I heard that he used to be just the head of a village. What kind of house is worth a thousand taels?

Yan Xuezhi's eyes narrowed when she heard that Yangjia Village had won the election. When she heard about one thousand taels, she said in a hoarse voice: "Your house is not a house of gold and silver, it is not even fifty taels."

"You set fire to my house, and made my son and daughter-in-law sad. They think it's all my fault, and you don't care about me. If you didn't hurt me, who did it? One thousand taels, no.

Talk. If you don’t want to pay compensation, then let’s wait for your Majesty’s trial. Your Majesty, my son is a civil servant, and because of Yan Xuezhi’s mediocre condition, his hands were burned and he almost failed the scientific examination. Please give me justice.”

Mrs. Ruan wanted to speak, but Xiang Xing covered her mouth.

Song Wen looked at them as if they were singing a big show. Remembering Jiang Yunye's explanation, he slapped the gavel tree hard: "Quiet!"

The person who was kneeling trembled all over when he heard this sound.

"Logically speaking, when you go to this court, you should all give three major reasons first. Because I am in a good mood today, I will be exempted. However, you must not take my politeness to you as a matter of course. In this court,

How is it appropriate to make such a fuss in court? Yan Xuezhi, the evidence is conclusive that you set fire to your house, and you also admit it. Now I have sentenced you to compensate Yang Tianchang's house and everything else for one hundred taels. Are you convinced?"

When Yan Xuezhi heard that this was compensation, it would mean she would not have to go to jail, and she felt a little relieved: "The civilian girl is convinced!"

Yan Chunsheng also nodded hurriedly, expressing his willingness to compensate.

Yang Tianchang had a dark face, but when he thought that it was only one hundred taels of silver, he would build a house exactly like Yan Chunsheng's, and when the time came he would hire people to serve him, and he would enjoy the same food and drink, so he didn't say anything.

Just when everyone thought that the matter would be settled in this way, they heard Song Wen said: "Since there is no problem, let's count it as arson."

As he spoke, he patted the gavel hard again.

"Yan Xuezhi, you are young and have such evil thoughts. You will set fire to anyone who feels uncomfortable. If you are such a person, how dare you let the villagers feel at ease? Now my country is about to start building canals, and there is a shortage of people.

I will do laundry and cooking, and you will be sent to the army for three years, and you will come with me. You will come back when I, Da Chu, have repaired the canals."

When the people present heard the news, they could not react. They expressed sympathy for Yan Xuezhi or felt relieved.

The person whose mind was racing was thinking about building the canal. They had not heard of it. What on earth was going on?

Mr. Song said that Da Chu was repairing river canals, but he did not say where exactly. Could it be that the entire Da Chu needed to be repaired?

If this happens, does it mean that every household will have to do corvee service? xdw8

It's starting to get colder day by day now, and there's not much to work on in the fields. It's a good time to start working, and it's normal.

But in the past, they only built city walls and roads. Why did they build canals this time? Isn’t their country in Chu a drought and water shortage, with no rivers?

Yan Xuezhi, Mrs. Ruan and Yan Chunsheng couldn't accept the verdict when they heard it.

"No, sir, if my family pays compensation, this is just a personal grudge. Why should I be sentenced to prison and have to cook for the man who built the canal? No, sir, we can't do this."

Yan Chunsheng couldn't accept it at all. Building canals was equivalent to doing corvee labor. Those who went there in the past had to shed a layer of their skin even if they came back.

It was still a minor problem, and it only lasted for two or three months, and it would be back by the end of the year.

The most important thing is that those are all men.

How can Xuezhi, a young girl, follow her? And we don’t know how long we will be cultivating, because the adults didn’t tell us clearly where we should cultivate and how long we should cultivate.

This is obviously to send his daughter to death, but before that, he has to trick his family!

Song Wencai didn't care what they thought. He simply knew what Yan Xuezhi had done to Yan Shiqing before, so he deliberately punished her: "Come here, take her down!"

Mrs. Ruan's eyes widened and she fainted to the ground.

"Dad, save me, save me..."

Yan Xuezhi was really scared, no matter whether she went back to the cell first or had to do corvee labor.

She felt that if she really wanted to go, death would be waiting for her!

She is still young, has not yet grown hair, has not yet gotten married and has children, and does not want to die.
