Telling the truth, Bai Banxia didn't tell lies. Ji Li really wasn't epileptic. He was just pretending to foam at the mouth, so Bai Banxia pricked his most painful acupuncture point. The pain made him go crazy. Why was he pretending?
Go down?
"Your Excellency, it is clear that I was ill just now, and she has always disliked me, so she said this." Ji Li kowtowed and cried, looking very pitiful.
But Bai Banxia knew that this guy was crying in pain.
Bai Banxia glanced at him disdainfully and said: "You have to pretend to be sick even if you are pretending to be sick. You can ask someone to find out if someone has epilepsy and can be cured with just one shot? I'm a medical expert."
No matter how smart you are, you won’t have the strength to be able to achieve it with just one shot, unless a god comes down to earth.”
Yin Shan looked at her, "What did you just pierce?"
"I saw him pretending to be sick, so I pricked his painful point. He jumped up in pain and couldn't pretend anymore." Bai Banxia didn't hide anything and directly told the truth.
Now the onlookers outside couldn't help but laugh, and even jumped up in pain.
Someone was smart and shouted: "Hey, isn't this kid crying in pain?"
Then there was a burst of laughter outside the hall, and even Yin Shan, who was at the head, almost laughed.
He was stunned and said, "Ji Li, you haven't repented until now. You have killed and harmed others many times. You have already committed a capital crime. You will be punished by the Empress."
Bai Banxia's mouth curled up. She was very satisfied with Ji Li's sentence. If Mr. Nan had to serve a sentence for injuring him, she would not force Ji Li to behead him. But there was still life in Ji Li's body. He deserved to die if he killed someone to pay for his life.
Already.
The parents of the victimized maid cried and kowtowed, saying, "Thank you so much for redressing my little girl's injustice. My little girl has learned the truth and can finally rest in peace."
Bai Banxia secretly sighed. The maid was also a human being, and she was also a young girl. She was killed at the same age. She didn't know whether she would rest in peace, but fortunately Ji Li could get the punishment he deserved.
Later, Yin Shan punished the bribed jailer, beating him and the three gangsters each with 30 blows, and sentenced them to ten years of hard labor.
In addition, Ji Yun was also brought up. He bribed the jailer and disturbed the law. He was also sentenced to thirty beatings. The Ji family fined him a hundred taels of silver as compensation to the victim Nan Shuwen.
When it was all over, Mr. Nan thanked Yin Shan and returned to the carriage.
Seeing that Mr. Nan was leaving in a hurry, Bai Banxia whispered to Qi Zhen: "Look at how you scared him? Did you do it on purpose?"
"I saw you trying to help him, and I thought it was too inconvenient, so I might as well handle it by myself." Qi Zhen said with a serious face.
Okay, so it turns out that she tricked Mr. Nan? Bai Banxia gave him an angry look, "Don't hug others randomly in the future, men are not good either."
"I know, I'll just give you a hug." Qi Zhen whispered back.
They had just left the court, and there were many people watching the excitement nearby. Bai Banxia's face burned. This person was really not afraid of being overheard.
When they returned home and told their families about the results of the trial, Brother Erlang and the eldest uncle's wife were all happy. Finally, the evildoers were rewarded.
"After Qiu asked Zhan, isn't it still early? This rule is a bit tricky." Bai Banxia asked.
Qi Zhen explained: "Jue Xia's law stipulates that the death penalty cannot be imposed immediately. It is afraid that some unjust, false and wrong cases will directly kill people, and it will be too late to overturn the verdict, so the prisoners will be executed after the death penalty. If the sentence is not enough, the death penalty will not be sufficient."
January will be after the autumn of next year."
"There is nothing wrong with saying that. It just gives Ji Li an advantage. Where is he during this period? He is locked up in a prison until the autumn?" Bai Banxia asked.
"According to the regulations of Xiguancheng, the condemned prisoners must serve in the mines and then be executed in the autumn." Qi Zhen replied.
Bai Banxia felt relieved, "It's better to do the hard work first, so as not to make him too comfortable."
A cold light flashed in Qi Zhen's eyes, "Don't worry, he won't feel comfortable."
That night, Ji Li was sent to the mine, along with the three gangsters who were sentenced and the jailer.
The difference is that the four of them were injured, and the one who was seriously injured was still unable to work. Only Ji Li was not injured or sick.
"You, go move the rocks, don't be lazy here!" the supervisor pointed at Ji Li and ordered.
Ji Li was shocked and asked: "We are still working late at night, and we are not allowing people to rest? Are we not allowing people to live?"
His immediate answer was a whip, and the supervisor said fiercely: "Have a rest, why don't you ask if they can survive when you harm them?"
Then the whip came up again, "Go to work, I didn't even take a break, you, a murderer, don't get a rest!"
Ji Li was beaten with several blood marks, but he didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore and went to move the rocks honestly.
But as a young man from a rich family, with his thin skin and tender flesh, what kind of strenuous work could he do? Soon his hands were bleeding and his feet were scratched.
"A rock is rolling down, be careful!" someone shouted from above.
Ji Li was startled and wanted to run away, but he didn't know who pushed him. The next moment, a stone hit his arm. There was a click, and his arm was smashed into a weird angle...
"Ah..." His screams echoed through the night sky, "My hand, my hand is broken!"
Early the next morning, Bai Banxia and the others sent Bai Shengming off to take the exam. They watched him enter the exam room and felt relieved.
Bai Banxia asked the aunt and others to go back first, but the aunt had to stay outside the examination room and asked the uncle to go back and take care of Mr. Nan. Mr. Nan's hands were not convenient, and when he was thirsty and hungry, someone always had to give him food and water.
"Then you go sit at a nearby tea stall and don't get tired." Bai Banxia was a little helpless. This exam lasted a whole day and he didn't come out until the evening. Do you have to stand around all day?
This is still just an examination for scholars. If it is a candidate for imperial examination or Jinshi, the examination will take longer as the time goes by. In the end, you will have to eat and sleep in the examination room for several days in a row.
Fortunately, the eldest uncle was willing to go and sit at the tea stall, but she urged Bai Banxia to go to the consultation, and she could come back after the consultation.
"Okay, I'll get busy first." Bai Banxia winked at Qi Zhen and asked him to secretly send someone to guard outside the examination room.
Qi Zhen nodded slightly. He had already explained the matter of Mr. Nan's injury last night.
He sent Bai Banxia to Xuanji Hall and whispered: "Ji Li had an accident just after he went to the mine last night, and his arm was broken."
Bai Banxia suddenly paused and turned to look at him, her eyes already filled with smiles.
"Did you arrange it?" she asked with a smile.
"It's all an accident, maybe God has a good eye." Qi Zhen said this, but there was a look of pride in his eyes.
Well, he must have done it, but he did it beautifully!
Bai Banxia gave him a thumbs up, then walked into Xuanji Hall, "I'm going to work. You should do your work first and come to me later."
"Okay, I'll pick you up later." He smiled and watched her go in before leaving.
When Bai Banxia went to see the steward and said she was going to have a consultation, unexpectedly at noon, the elder came and said he would give her a small test.
