"Degui, what are you doing? How can you report to the police to arrest us? We are your own sister and brother-in-law!"
Wang Wanfu, who was tied up by the yamen servants, cried and cried. He has lived half his life and has never been involved in a lawsuit. He doesn't even know which way the yamen gates are open. Pushing and shoving, he was afraid!
Shen Degui didn't speak, but smiled sinisterly.
Heh, don't you guys look down on me and want to covet my money? Today I will let you know how many eyes Lord Ma has!
"You are so noble, please tell the official, let them release me and your sister, I have seniors and juniors, I really can't go to jail..." Wang Wanfu was tied up tightly, and everyone On the verge of collapse, the man in his thirties cried out like a child.
Shen Degui stared at the collapsed Wang Wanfu, with a bit of viciousness in his complacency, and said, "It's okay to let you go, first return the money from our old Shen family, and I'll let you go."
"But, but, I really didn't take Lan Ya's money, Degui, can you trust me? I really didn't take it, Degui..."
Wang Wanfu cried while calling Qu, and wept all the snot bubbles. Shen Debao couldn't stand it anymore, and persuaded him: "Degui, why don't you talk to the official, let's take care of our own affairs. If you can solve it at home, don't bother the official!"
Shen Degui sneered, "Brother, you are the one who opened the yamen? If you want people to arrest people, they will arrest people, and if you want people to let them go, they will let people go. It's not bad, but your ass is filled with lead." Why do you think about beautiful things?"
Shen Debao was so stunned that he couldn't get off the stage. He glared at Shen Degui angrily, and said angrily, "It's not the money you lost. The money belongs to Lan Ya. I'll let Lan Ya talk about it!"
He turned around angrily and went to look for Shen Ruolan. At this moment, Shen Ruolan is talking to the head of the thunder hunt, and she is describing the process of her dispute with Shen Xiuyun and her loss of money.
Seeing that his niece was talking to the official, Shen Debao didn't dare to go over to interrupt him, quietly pulled his wife aside, and said, "Mother, tell me about Degui, Xiuyun is his elder sister anyway, if Xiuyun and the others get married He's in jail, and his face doesn't look good either!"
Mrs. Liu also had a troubled expression on her face. Although Shen Xiuyun didn't know how to be filial to her, no matter how you put it, it was the flesh that fell from her body. She didn't want to see her go to jail!
However, she was even more reluctant to part with the four taels of silver. That dead daughter of Shen Xiuyun still didn't admit that she took the money, didn't she just want to keep the money secret? This money belongs to the old Shen's family, and it is reserved for the No. 1 Scholar in the Degui Examination. You can't just let their old Wang's family keep it secret, right
so-
"Debao, don't worry about this matter. If you don't do this, the money will definitely not come out. Let them suffer a bit. Maybe they can hand over the money tomorrow."
Hearing what his old lady said, Shen Debao knew that his old lady was acknowledging money but not people. For the more than four taels of silver, she would rather give up Shen Xiuyun, a girl.
Although the old lady's actions are a bit ruthless, I can't blame the old lady entirely. Xiuyun has gone too far these years. Ever since they got married, she has never been willing to spend a penny on the old lady. No wonder my wife hated him.
Hey, everything happens for a reason!
the other side
Shen Ruolan tactfully made a request to Butou Lei, "Butou Lei, I'm not in good health, so I won't go to town with you, you can just figure it out!"
Although, as the injured party, it is against the rules to go to the trial site of the Yamen, but, seeing that she secretly gave Lei Butou the one tael of silver, Lei Butou readily agreed.
It's so cold, why did he take his brothers out to handle the case? Don't you just try to get some money to spend the New Year? Since they gave the money, they naturally had to be satisfied with the promise.
"Haha, since Miss Shen is not in good health, you can stay at home and rest. Don't worry, I will come back for a strict interrogation after I get back, and I will definitely help you get your money back."
"Then thank you very much!"
"You're welcome!"
After the two were courteous, Butou Lei waved his hand and shouted to the other brothers: "It's getting late, go back and try the case!"
When the rest of the yamen servants heard the boss's order, they immediately pulled the chains and led Shen Xiuyun and his wife like dogs, ready to get on their horses.
Seeing this, Shen Xiuyun and Wang Wanfu were so frightened that they cried for their parents and almost peed on their pants. Wang Baogen followed behind his parents, crying and cursing, but he didn't know who he was scolding.
At this moment, Wang Wanfu's father stumbled over. He knelt down in front of Lei Butou, hugged Lei Butou's leg, and cried loudly: "Mr. I've searched my son's house, but I can't find the more than four taels of silver you mentioned. No one has ever seen the silver of the girl of the Shen family. I'm not sure if it's there. You can't wrong a good person..."
Lei Butou smiled and said: "If someone has money, will he show it to you one by one? Or is the money that is not seen by others not money? Old man, think with your heels, if someone has no money, can you buy that money?" Is it something that the old peasants can't afford?"
Old boss Wang: "..."
Lei Butou continued: "Taking a step back, even if your son and daughter-in-law did not take Miss Shen's money, they would still throw away Miss Shen's money, and the money would be hidden in the quilt. It’s impossible to lose it? So, don’t expect to deny it, hurry up and get ready to pay back the money!”
Old man Wang was left speechless, he wiped his old face helplessly, suddenly saw Shen Ruolan standing in the crowd, hurriedly got up, trotted to Shen Ruolan's side, and cried: "Girl, I beg you, old man, don't tell your aunt and uncle, I have only one son, if he goes to jail, who am I going to point at in the future... woo woo woo... "
Shen Ruolan didn't want Shen Xiuyun and Wang Wanfu to be imprisoned at first, she just wanted to punish them for venting their anger for her predecessor, and shock them at the same time, so that they would not come to her again in the future.
Since Old Wangtou begged her, she readily agreed.
"Grandpa Wang, it's not easy for me to save you when you beg me at such an age, but it's a fact that I lost my money. No matter who takes my money or loses it on the road, my aunt and I will give you money." Eldest uncle can hardly shirk the blame, as long as they admit the debt in front of everyone today, I will promise you and beg Lei Butou to let them go."
"You're dreaming, dead Lanya. I didn't look at your money at all. Why do you say that I stole your money? Red mouth and white teeth, if you open your eyes and tell nonsense, aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning?"
Shen Xiuyun was tied up, although she was terribly afraid, but when she heard that Shen Ruolan wanted her to admit to the account of more than four taels of silver, she couldn't help but explode.
Seeing her aggressive appearance, Shen Ruolan said helplessly: "Grandpa Wang, you have also seen it. My aunt doesn't admit it, so I can't help it. The four taels of silver is all my net worth. It's my father and I's hope for the rest of our lives, even if it's gone, it can't just be gone in such a vague way!"
Old Wang was quite transparent, when he heard something in Shen Ruolan's words, he hurriedly said: "Girl, let's admit it, even if Xiuyun doesn't, Wanfu will definitely admit it, so why don't you tell us how to recognize it?"
Shen Ruolan didn't speak, her big black and white eyes turned to Wang Wanfu, looking at him fixedly.
Wang Wanfu was very entangled, he was in a panic, he didn't steal Shen Lanya's money, he didn't want to admit it.
However, when I think about the boards in the yamen, the dark and cold prison, and those yamen servants who cannibalize people without spit out their bones... I'm so terrified!
The yamen servant who arrested him just now can say that if he is convicted of theft, he will be sentenced to at least three years in prison, three years in a dark and humid prison, without seeing the light of day...
After weighing it, he closed his eyes, nodded his head slightly, and then lowered his head with a pale face.
Hehe, this is admitted!
A smile flashed across Shen Ruolan's eyes, cleared her throat, and said loudly: "Since Grandpa Wang said so, then I'll take a step back. I don't have to pay back the money. My father owed my grandma earlier." Eight years of pension money, a total of four taels, let my aunt and uncle pay it back on my behalf; in addition, there are more than seven coins, so write me an IOU, for the sake of your old man I will allow them to pay it back whenever they want, and write a receipt for my grandma's four taels of pension money, so that her old man can rest assured. It just so happens that Fourth Master Wu is here today, so let him be an intermediary for us Witness!"
