"Yes!" The two yamen runners responded and immediately moved the stools and took the boards.
The severe pain in her knee woke Li up. When she heard that she was going to be beaten with ten boards and thrown into jail, she was shocked!
Li shouted, "Your Excellency, this is unfair! Shen Xingnong is my granddaughter. As an elder, isn't it my duty to teach her a lesson? She was disrespectful to me as an elder and even dared to glare at me. She should be thrown into jail! Please be more discerning!"
Shen Mingzhu was a little annoyed at Li's stupidity. She was never able to accomplish anything and always caused trouble!
Did she think that she was in the village, at home? She was the eldest, so everyone respected her
This is in court!
Does she have any brains? How dare she embarrass herself with money
Does she still take the county magistrate seriously
Shen Mingzhu was furious, but she didn't show it on her face. She kowtowed with a worried and frightened look on her face: "Please spare my life, my grandmother knows she is wrong! She is old and can't stand the prison and the beating. I am willing to pay compensation for the damage to my cousin Xingnong's things. I am also willing to apologize to my cousin Xingnong on my grandmother's behalf!"
After saying that, she looked at Xingnong again and said, "Cousin Xingnong, my grandmother was wrong. She shouldn't have thrown silver at you. I am willing to compensate you with fifty taels of silver on her behalf. Can you not hold her accountable? She is also your great grandmother. I beg you!"
Shen Mingzhu began to kowtow to Xingnong with tears in her eyes.
Xing Nong didn't even look at her and said calmly: "Sorry, no."
"Cousin Xingnong, my grandmother really can't bear the calamity of imprisonment! She hasn't recovered from the last time she rolled on the nail board and was beaten with a stick! Can I pay her a hundred taels as compensation? Please! Please..." Shen Mingzhu kowtowed to Xingnong, tears falling...
Xing Nong ignored her and looked at Ren Zilin: "Sir, can you do it for me?"
Shen Mingzhu: “… ”
Do it for me
Go to jail on behalf of your grandmother
Shen Mingzhu was so scared that she forgot to shed tears
Ren Zilin paused for a moment after hearing this: "This is not a serious matter of murder or arson. The Chu State ruled the country with filial piety, so it would be a good story to let the granddaughter go to jail instead of the grandmother. You two should discuss who should go to jail?"
Li's heart moved: Is this still possible
Shen Mingzhu: “… … ”
If she didn't know that the county magistrate was new, if she didn't know that someone like Shen Xingnong had no chance of knowing the county magistrate.
She almost suspected that the county magistrate knew Shen Xingnong and was helping her secretly!
Is this possible? ! !
Shen Mingzhu glanced at Li. She saw that Li was moved and felt a chill in her heart: Is this the grandmother who has always loved her
She lowered her eyes, a sinister look flashed in them, and soon she looked up at Xingnong, eyes full of sadness: "Cousin Xingnong, do you really want my grandmother and I to go to jail? Can't we compensate you for your losses? You also know that my eldest brother still has to take the imperial examination. If I go to jail, my eldest brother will have a sister who goes to jail, and his future will be ruined! You are so kind, you will definitely not have the heart to ruin my eldest brother's future and the Shen family, right?"
Li's face changed when she heard this. That's right, Mingzhu can't go to jail. The master said that Mingzhu is so noble that she will become a phoenix in the future! She can't go to jail either! If she goes to jail, how can her eldest grandson become a high official in the future
Li was afraid at this moment, and she kowtowed quickly: "Sir, I know I was wrong! I shouldn't have broken into her house without permission and thrown out all her things! I shouldn't have disturbed the court! Sir, I am willing to compensate, and I will pay as much silver as you say! I am also willing to apologize to Shen Xingnong, please don't let me go to jail! I won't dare to do it again! I won't dare to do it again!..."
Li kowtowed and begged for mercy.
If she went to jail and ruined the future of her eldest granddaughter and grandson, the old man would definitely divorce her!
Only now did she feel afraid!
I regret it too!
Of course, I also hated Xingnong in my heart.
Ren Zilin slammed the gavel and said, "Silence! Just tell me who will be punished!"
Li: “…”
Shen Mingzhu: "..."
Shen Mingzhu was so anxious that she almost died. If she didn't say that she was punished at this moment, what kind of person would she become
She could only gamble once, betting that Li would care about the Shen family's reputation, and betting that Li was not stupid enough to let her go to jail.
She kowtowed with tears in her eyes: "I am willing to take the punishment for my grandmother."
Tears fell like pearls from a broken string.
This time she was really worried to the point of crying, and it wasn't fake tears.
Li was suddenly touched. As expected, her own granddaughter was the best. Li hurriedly said, "No, sir, I will take the punishment myself! No need for her to do it for me!"
“Grandma....” Shen Mingzhu looked at Li with tears in her eyes.
"Grandma is fine, you can't go to jail, you still have to go to Beijing! Just go back and think of a way to rescue grandma! Woo woo..." Li hugged Shen Mingzhu and cried so hard that her nose came out. She was really sad and scared. She was going to be sent to jail soon!
Shen Mingzhu nodded with tears in her eyes, "Okay then! I will definitely rescue my grandmother as soon as possible."
Ren Zilin's mouth twitched, and he slammed the gavel: "Okay! Come on, give Li ten big strokes first! Then take him to jail."
Xing Nong suddenly said: "Sir, Li is old, it would be better to just... "
When Xingnong said this, he glanced at Shen Mingzhu, and her face turned pale!
Xing Nong smiled at her and slowly uttered the last few words, "Let his granddaughter take his place."
Shen Mingzhu was so angry that her face turned pale and her whole body was shaking slightly.
She wanted to go up and slap Xingnong twice. She turned to look at Li, hoping that Li would not have the heart to do so. "Grandmother, let Mingzhu take the punishment for you! Your scar from last time has not healed yet."
It will leave scars. If she is left with scars, how can she enter the palace!
She hoped that Li would understand her hint.
Li was so scared by the beating last time that her buttocks were still swollen and painful. If she was beaten again, she would be dead. She nodded and said, "Grandma's good granddaughter."
Shen Mingzhu: “… ”
"In that case, Miss Shen, wait for your grandmother to be punished! Execution!" Ren Zilin threw a token down.
Two yamen runners immediately pressed Shen Mingzhu down on the bench.
“Bang!”
"ah!"
“Bang!”
“Ah~”
... ..
The screams were so horrific and deafening!
Li was so frightened that she closed her eyes tightly and covered her ears, and was so moved that tears streamed down her face.
Woohoo...
This is really my granddaughter!
~
After being hit with ten boards, Shen Mingzhu felt like her butt was bruised and the pain was so severe that she almost fainted.
It’s just that she has been well fed and well dressed since she was a child, so she is in good health and can’t faint even if she wants to!
She secretly glanced at Xingnong, she would remember this grudge!
One day she will pay it back tenfold or a hundredfold.
After beating her with a stick, the bailiff took Li away.
"Wait!" Ren Zilin thought about the issue of compensation and looked at Xingnong: "How much property did Miss Shen's family lose? You calculate it. I will let Miss Shen Mingzhu compensate you on behalf of her grandmother. Li, you should also listen to whether this compensation is reasonable."
Shen Mingzhu: “… ”
Li: “… … ..”
No, they were beaten with sticks and sent to jail, do they still have to pay compensation
Isn't this a case of losing both the wife and the army
Big loss!!!
