He had just been kicked down by Shen Ling and hit the door hard. At this time, he could not stand up.
Zhuang Keqing didn't expect that Shen Ling looked like a scholar, but he could strike decisively and without any hesitation.
All in all, well played.
"Stop howling. You said that my father sold me to your family. There is no basis for your claim. Can you please provide some evidence?"
Zhuang Keqing stepped forward, ignoring Niudan who was crying sadly, and only asked condescendingly.
Niudan raised his eyelids, rolled his big eyes, glanced sideways at the girl in front of him, and then yelled to himself. This scream didn't sound convincing, at least it was fake.
Zhuang Keqing was a little impatient.
"If you really have evidence, then show it, otherwise I will ask someone to beat you out!"
Niu Dan originally wanted to show off again, but out of the corner of his eye he saw Shen Ling coming over, and was so shocked that he quickly stuffed his hands into his clothes, fumbled around for a long time, and pulled out a piece of paper.
"Look! It's written in black and white, with fingerprints on it!"
Zhuang Keqing took the paper held up by Niu Dan, opened it, and took a closer look.
I saw it said:
"I'm going to borrow an ox to make two copper coins, and I'll use my daughter Zhuang Keqing to pay for it."
Below are the names Zhuang Da and Niu Cheng, each with two bright red handprints.
It’s actually written evidence!
The village chief didn't believe it at first, but when he took the piece of paper and saw a few words and two bright red handprints on it, he was suddenly shocked.
It is clearly a written document.
The village chief was a farmer, and although he didn't know a few words, he could still recognize the "big" character printed with his thumb at his signature.
Zhuang Da’s name was Zhuang Da. At that time, Mr. Zhuang’s family found it troublesome to name them, so they arranged their babies according to numbers when they gave birth. Everyone in Erlizi Village knew about this.
After pinching the thin piece of paper and looking at the cow egg lying on the ground with a sinister look, the village chief also felt that it was difficult to handle.
Is this true?
"Can you let me have a look?"
Shen Ling saw the village chief frowning and felt something was wrong, so he wanted to take a look at the so-called evidence.
"Do you understand?" Niu Dan snorted and turned his head, but then he suddenly thought of something and deliberately raised his voice in the direction of the crowd, "I heard that you used to be a young master, I guess. Are you literate? Why not read it? Let everyone listen to what is written on it? "
The villagers in the courtyard were in a commotion, whispering to each other, but the discussion was really loud.
"You can be so confident, but it's not true, right?"
"That's terrible. How will the wedding end today?"
"This Mr. Zhuang is really cruel. He would even sell his daughter for gambling."
"Who says it's not the case? This gambling addiction is harmful to people!"
Although Zhuang Keqing wanted to help, she couldn't get in the way. Now she was just a village girl, and she probably didn't know how to read. At this point, it was unusual that she didn't ask questions like the others, so it was hard to say anything else.
Now we are in a dilemma. If you read it, you will feel guilty. If you don't read it, you will feel guilty.
Worried eyes fell on Shen Ling, and Zhuang Keqing didn't know how he would respond.
After receiving the paper handed over by the village chief, Shen Ling understood the contents with just one glance.
It is indeed a document for borrowing money as collateral, but the mortgage is not an object, but a living person.
His cold gaze stayed on Niudan's face for a moment, "Since you request so, then I will read it."
Niu Dan’s triangular eyes were widened.
Is this kid not crazy?
He simply couldn't believe that the other party had fallen into the trap so easily, and his hands were shaking slightly with excitement.
It's almost done!
Shen Ling raised his head and cast a comforting look in the direction of Zhuang Keqing, and then he read it word for word as he said.
There was no evidence of twenty words in total, and his voice was clear and powerful, so everyone present heard it clearly.
When he stopped, the people around him opened their mouths, looking in disbelief.
This piece of paper is really evidence that the banker's girl was sold to a cow!
Is this kid from the Shen family a fool? Why is he really reading?
Not to mention Wang Da, Liu Zhuzhu and the others clenched their fists angrily and were about to charge at the general.
Even the village chief looked at Shen Ling with an expression like "I mistrusted you."
Not to mention Qin Manzhi, she was still lucky, but when her future son-in-law read the evidence in person, her heart died.
Ke'er, my Ke'er, why are you so miserable...
Seeing that the situation was out of control, Uncle De in the crowd had already squeezed out of the crowd and ran away.
Niu Dan was so happy that he even got up from the ground and looked at Shen Ling provocatively with his chin raised.
"It's written in black and white! If you read it yourself, you should recognize it!"
All the villagers sighed.
Chef Liu and his apprentices, who thought they had received a big order early in the morning and were overjoyed to attend the wedding banquet, didn't know what to say at this time.
I'm afraid we can't put on this banquet, right?
The cauldron was back in the courtyard. By this time, the water had already boiled and was bubbling, but no one cared about it anymore.
Shen Ling pinched the piece of paper, her cold eyes rested on Niu Dan's proud face, and suddenly the corner of her mouth curved, revealing a light smile.
Niudan's heart tightened inexplicably, and his voice trembled a little.
"You, what are you laughing at!"
"I'm laughing at you for not knowing that you are about to die." Shen Ling thrust the piece of paper back into the stunned Niu Dan's hand.
"You, don't talk nonsense!" Niu Dan's heart beat like a drum. He had a premonition that something was wrong, but he still yelled out for the sake of face.
"There are laws in our court. Human trafficking requires a middleman to act as a guarantee and a government seal. In addition..." The young man's voice was cold and his mood was not high. But speaking literally, it was like an egg falling into an ice cellar. "It's not allowed." Good people buy and sell. If there is a crime, once it is found out, the prison sentence will be one hundred and three years."
Cow eggs are just crazy!
He just wanted to make extra money, how could he break the law?!
"Do you still insist that this is true evidence?" Shen Ling approached Niudan and whispered in his ear.
Now Niu Dan looked at the other party as if he was seeing an evil ghost from the underworld, and he couldn't muster the energy to argue. Besides, he was just a farmer, so he didn't know any laws. Even if he wanted to argue, he couldn't say anything useful. something.
Shen Ling lazily took another look at Niudan, whose two thin legs could barely support his body.
I knew it.
The corner of Zhuang Keqing's mouth curled up, and his heart suddenly relaxed. I knew I could trust you!
"Well, today is my happy day, and I don't want to embarrass you. Since my father owes your father two thousand dollars, then I will pay you back!"
Niu Dan originally thought that he was about to be arrested by the police, but he was in a panic. But who knew that the next moment, this girl would not pursue the case and would give him money?
It was so sad and happy at the same time. He was so frightened by Shen Ling's words that he had tears running down his face and didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Zhuang Keqing turned around and went back to the back room.
The money at home has been spent on weddings these days, and now there is only less than two and a half yuan left. But she did not feel bad about the money, and neatly took the corresponding amount, put it in the box and took it out.
In fact, it's not that she is soft-hearted, it's just that repaying debts is a natural thing, so this should be the last thing her daughter does for her cheap father.
