Unexpectedly, the matter was not over yet. His father-in-law and mother-in-law directly filed a lawsuit against him at the county government office on the grounds of false accusation of blackmail, and demanded that the county magistrate severely punish him for his crime.
As for the truth of this matter, everyone in the county knows it well. Liu Shi's parents-in-law have always been treacherous and greedy, and the neighbors are extremely disgusted. They have never interacted with this family, and Liu Shi is honest. Honesty is also visible to everyone, and they know who is guilty and who is innocent without having to judge.
Seeing honest people being wronged and confusing right and wrong, the people were indignant. During the discussion, they all accused Liu Shi's father-in-law and mother-in-law of being evil-hearted. It was not enough to take the money they had worked hard for many years. They also wanted to kill them all and kill the poor people. The son-in-law is sent to prison, he is simply not a human being!
"Damn! Bastard! There are such hateful people in the world!"
After Xiao Si heard this, he was filled with anger and clenched his fists.
Even Zhui Feng, who had always been calm and expressionless, had anger in his eyes.
"It's so hateful, how could Liu Shi's father-in-law and mother-in-law be so bad! Liu Shi is their son-in-law, how could they do such a thing?" Xiao Ru was so angry that her face turned red, and she sympathized with Liu Shi. I also hate the father-in-law and mother-in-law.
"Miss, please send someone to arrest those two bad guys!" Xiao Ru tugged on Shen Ning's sleeves.
"Shh!" Shen Ning gestured to her, "Don't worry, let's take a look first."
"Look...what else is there to see? Everyone says that the bad guys must be Liu Shi's father-in-law and mother-in-law, and the good guys must be Liu Shi." Xiaoru said angrily.
In her eyes, there are two types of people, good people and bad people, and there is no room for any sand.
Seeing how innocent she said it, Shen Ning patted her head and smiled at her.
"Not everything everyone says is right. Some things may not be true even if they are witnessed with one's own eyes. So, let's take another look."
It's not that she doesn't believe what the people say, on the contrary, she feels that the saying that justice lies in the heart of the people is an unbreakable truth throughout the ages, and this era is no exception.
The people unanimously condemned Liu Shi's father-in-law and mother-in-law, which shows that these two people have done all kinds of bad things and are unpopular.
What she wanted to see was the attitude of the county magistrate and how he would interrogate this obvious case.
Xiao Ru seemed to understand. She always felt that everything the eldest lady said was right, so she nodded and said no more.
"Ascend to the Hall!"
Finally, with the mighty and loud voices of the government officials, the people all fell silent, and the originally noisy and chaotic scene became silent.
After a few drums, a man in the clothes of a county official came out from the back hall. He was about thirty years old, fair and fat, with a pampered look. He wore a seventh-grade black gauze on his head, and he looked like an official. Full of power.
Under the awed eyes of the people, the county magistrate swaggered to the back of the public case, sat down, slapped the gavel, and said three words:
"Take the prisoner!"
Soon, everyone heard the sound of iron chains. Then, a young man in his early twenties appeared in the corridor. His hair was disheveled and he looked haggard. His hands and feet were handcuffed by iron chains. He had difficulty walking. He was pushed by the government officials. Pushing and stumbling along the way.
The common people showed sympathy on their faces, but intimidated by the official authority of the Yamen, no one dared to speak loudly and could only sigh quietly.
"Hey, Liu Shi is so pitiful."
"Obviously he was the plaintiff, but he was beaten into the defendant."
"This world is so unspeakable."
"Hush, be quiet, don't let the magistrate hear you."
