The Big Landlord

The eyes of the people in the courtroom, including everyone outside the courtroom, were on Li Yuan.

Li Yuan was completely dazed, his face turned pale in an instant, and there was only one thought in his mind, and that was: he was finished.

Chen Jiangui was extremely disappointed in his heart. He had always regarded Li Yuan as a junior who could be cultivated, but he never expected him to do such a dirty thing!It’s really a waste of reading the sage books!

"Li Yuan, you should tell the truth." Chen Jiangui lowered his voice, and Li Yuan said it himself. Even if he didn't say everything, the unfinished sentence just now is enough to show that he had a relationship with Ma Liu However, and his complexion has revealed his fear.

"My lord, what Wansheng wants to say is that this sachet is indeed from Wansheng, but it's just that Wansheng hasn't worn it for a while." Li Yuan pretended to be calm and defended, but when he looked carefully, he could still find that his hands were shaking.

Chen Jiangui didn't answer him, and directly ordered: "Come here, summon Li Tangshi."

Tang Shi clearly felt that Li Yuan's breathing rate and heartbeat had changed, and he was apprehensive and fearful.

Soon, Tangyue was taken to the court by the yamen servant with a dazed and nervous expression, "Ms. Li Tang, a civil woman, pays her respects to your lord."

Before Tangyue arrived, Chen Jiangui had already asked Li Yuan about the clothes he was wearing that day.

Now that Tang Yue was at the court, Chen Jiangui patted the gavel, and asked directly: "Li Tangshi, I want to ask you, are the clothes Li Yuan wore white two days ago? The sachet on his waist Is it the one with the blue moire?"

Tangyue didn't know what happened at all, and she didn't know how to answer herself, so she could only cast her eyes on Li Yuan, hoping to get Li Yuan's hint.

But under the eyes of everyone, Li Yuan had no way to give her any obvious hints, so he had to stick a finger out of his sleeve and shake it slightly, but Tangyue didn't see it at all, her gaze was completely Betting on Li Yuan's face.

"Li Tangshi!" Seeing that she didn't answer, Chen Jiangui patted the gavel again. Tangyue trembled in fright, "Answer my question, yes or no?"

Tangyue was terrified and confused, she thought in her heart, since the county magistrate asked this, it must be the husband who said that just now, and the husband must have his intentions when he said this, thinking of this, she suddenly understood, Then he replied, "Yes, my lord."

The crowd of onlookers outside the courtroom exploded, chatting with each other and looking at Tang Yue and Li Yuan in the courtroom with strange eyes.

Li Yuan lowered his head so that people couldn't see his expression clearly. He clenched his fists in his sleeves. He hated the Tang family like this before. Tang Shi was vicious, and Tang Yue was simply stupid!

Tangyue also felt that the atmosphere was not right at this time, she looked at Li Yuan pitifully and anxiously, opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say.

As for why she didn't look at Tang shi, it was because she didn't recognize him at all!

Chen Jiangui silenced the hall, his face was extremely serious, his piercing eyes seemed to be able to see through Tangyue's heart, "Li Tangshi, I will give you another chance, will you?"

Tangyue's mind was completely flustered, she shook her head without thinking, "My lord, the housewives made a mistake just now, no! Your husband doesn't dress like this!"

The crowd is frying pan again.

Tang shi stood there calmly, watching them dying there.

Li Yuan closed his eyes, his face gradually distorted, and the fingernails clenched in his sleeves were deeply embedded in his palms, Tang Shi felt something was wrong with him.

Sure enough, in the next second, Li Yuan suddenly jumped up, grabbed Tang Yue's hair, and said with a distorted face: "You Tang family was born to collect debts! You are like this! Tang Shi is also like this! I, Li Yuan, have fallen for eight lifetimes." Only bad luck will run into your family! Tangyue, I'm finished, I'm finished, do you know? Yes! It's your fault! You! And you!" He pointed at Tang Shi's nose, "Tang Shi! I Li Yuan will never finish with you in this life!"

Tang Shi looked at him silently, but said in his heart: Your life is over, how can you not end with me?

Chen Jiangui was extremely angry and disappointed when he saw that he had gone crazy and completely lost his literati demeanor, "Li Yuan!"

Li Yuan seemed to be suspended suddenly, and his whole body was motionless. He looked at Chen Jiangui, and after a while, he suddenly fell to his knees, and said in pain, "My lord! I was infatuated for a while! My lord ..." He didn't know what to say.

Chen Jiangui asked in a deep voice, "Li Yuan, can you plead guilty to the kidnapping and trafficking of Tang Shi?"

What else can Li Yuan do?He was frightened by the surviving "Ma Liu" at first, and then almost cheated out by that sachet. He thought he could fool him, but Tangyue, a stupid woman, exposed his lie directly!

In fact, Chen Jiangui's question to Tang Yue was half true and half false. One was said by Li Yuan himself, and the other was casually said by him based on the sachet he usually saw on Li Yuan's body. No matter what Tang Yue said The answers would all be inconsistent with what Li Yuan said, and this inconsistency could just prove that Li Yuan was lying.

This was a trap, a trap that Tangyue had to jump into.

Li Yuan knew that he was irreparable, so he had no choice but to play the sad card.

But Chen Jiangui was not moved at all, he looked at Li Yuan with disappointed eyes, "Li Yuan, reading the books of sages is not only for gaining fame, but also to follow the words of sages and do the deeds of sages. You What he did is really insulting to the sages."

Li Yuan looked at the ground blankly with a face of despair, without saying a word.

In the end, Chen Jiangui sentenced the case. He wanted to report to his superiors, remove Li Yuan's reputation as a scholar, and he would not be allowed to take the scientific examination again for life. At the same time, he would be fined eighty sticks.

As for the three of Ding Fa, they were all sentenced to thirty sticks.When he was talking about "Ma Liu", Luo Zhen suddenly said: "Master Chen, Ma Liu is involved in other important cases, which are under the jurisdiction of the Guard Command Division. I also ask Mr. Chen to hand it over to the Guard Command Division for further investigation." deal with."

Chen Jiangui understood that the Guard Command Division never talked about evidence when arresting people, and was extremely domineering and domineering. It would be considered polite for Luo Zhen to tell him that, so how could he stop the Guard Command Division from doing things?

After hearing the verdict against Li Yuan, Tangyue was completely dumbfounded. She even felt like she was in a nightmare. How could this be possible?How come in the blink of an eye, my husband was dismissed?Eighty sticks?Normal people can't stand these [-] boards, not to mention Li Yuan's poor health, so how can he survive?

She couldn't help crying on the ground, and she didn't know whether to cry for Li Yuan's fate or her own fate.

At this point, Tang Shi didn't have the intention to watch Li Yuan being beaten, so he went out of court.

Seeing this, Xu Chengming also went out together, while Luo Zhen walked behind them with "Ma Liu".

As soon as Tang Shi came out of the court, he was surrounded by the big and small Tang family. Yuan Yong originally wanted to comfort his little disciple, but he couldn't make room at all.

Although Tang Shi was helpless, seeing Tang Qing Liu's and others' expressions of concern and pity, there seemed to be a warm current in his heart. Even he, who was born rich and noble in his previous life, was not able to enjoy such pure family affection.

This is his family, and he always remembers their kindness to him.

"Teacher," Tang Shi appeased the Tang family, and came to Yuan Yong, "I made the teacher worry today, and my disciples have delayed their studies because of this. I'm really ashamed..."

Yuan Yong waved his hand, "It's good that you have nothing to do, this time you were frightened, go back and suppress the fright, and don't rush to study for a while. But this county is really far away from you, so I have to find a way to be a teacher..."

Tang shi felt a little funny, didn't he say before that he would study hard?However, he was very grateful for Yuan Yong's concern.

"Teacher, don't worry. This time it was just an accident. It won't happen again in the future."

Yuan Yong sighed, he couldn't think of any good solution for a while.

After bidding farewell to Yuan Yong, Tang Shi was about to go back to the village with the Tang family, when he saw Tang Yue suddenly ran up to them, knelt down suddenly, and cried to Tang Qing and Liu Shi: "Father, Aunt, can you persuade me to go back to the village?" Advise little brother, let him let your husband go!"

Tang Shi: I was standing in front of her, but she begged other people... It's also unusual.

Who dares to disobey the magistrate's decision?Even if Tang Qing and Liu Shi wanted to forgive, it would not be changed, not to mention that Tang Qing was not willing to forgive Li Yuan at all!

Still talented!Can a scholar do such a dirty thing?Selling stones to such a place, he became furious just thinking about it, and wished he could rush up and beat Li Yuan up.

"Ah Yue, we can't change your lord's decision." Looking at his crying daughter, Tang Shi felt extremely sad.

"Father, isn't my younger brother all right? Why can't you forgive your husband? Are you just watching him being beaten to death? Father, do you think about me? What should I do in the future?"

Tangyue's actions attracted some spectators and some passers-by to watch. She was a weak woman kneeling on the ground begging and crying. If the Tang family remained unmoved, it would indeed cause criticism.

"Ah Yue, don't worry, our family can still support you, you get up first, don't kneel." Tang Qing stretched out his hand to pull Tangyue.

Tangyue dodged it, it seemed that if the Tang family didn't let go, she couldn't afford to kneel.

Xu Chengming was also watching. Although he wanted to continue watching, he couldn't stay for long, so he said to Tang Shi, "Tang Shi, you must remember our agreement. I'm going back to the capital first."

Tang Shi showed a cute smile, "Thank you Brother Xu and Brother Luo for your help this time, and Tang Shi will definitely repay the kindness of the two brothers in the future!"

Xu Chengming laughed loudly, got on the horse with Luo Zhen, and left Nanfeng County.

Tang Shi watched them go away, and then refocused his eyes on Tang Yue. At this moment, he caught the trace of hatred hidden in Tang Yue's eyes.

It's really... Poor people must have something to hate!

"Daddy, Mommy, let's go home, I haven't eaten for a long time."

Indeed, it was getting late, and now that the matter had been settled and the stone had been recovered, it was time for them to go home.

"Little brother!" Tangyue gritted her teeth and knelt down towards Tang Shi again, "I beg you, for my sister's sake, please forgive your brother-in-law this time! Please go and beg your lord, please?" ? Brother, I beg you, sister!" She kowtowed to Tang Shi as she spoke.

Tang Shi looked at her and smiled. This is... moral kidnapping?
