An Wanwan and An Miaomiao were top ten thieves from a renowned thief guild in modern times. One fateful day, they transmigrated and became not just best friends, but sisters. They also gained sever...
Everyone has arrived.
The town magistrate then began the interrogation.
Find out what happened.
The town magistrate then asked Cui Shi and An Meili if they had any evidence to prove that An Wanwan and her group had attacked them.
Where do they have any evidence?
There isn't one at all.
Cui was furious but helpless.
When she didn't know what to do.
An Meili suddenly looked up and said in a loud voice, "Lord Town Magistrate, we may not have any evidence, but there are so many people in our village, which doesn't mean that no one else saw it at the time."
Upon hearing this, the town magistrate immediately questioned all the villagers present, but no one could testify for them, so he sent people to visit the village.
One hour later.
The town magistrate sent someone out and brought back several villagers.
The constable from the yamen stepped forward and reported: "Sir, these villagers say they saw it, that it was An Wanwan and An Miaomiao who tripped An Meili and the others."
An Wanwan and An Miaomiao glanced at the villagers who were testifying; they didn't recognize any of them.
When Jiang Xiaoyu saw that they were giving false testimony, she couldn't help but scold them: "You're talking nonsense. We were all there at the time. How come only you saw it and we didn't?"
Her words were echoed by many villagers.
"That's right."
An Meili noticed that even at this point, they were still standing on An Wanwan's side.
Her gaze fell on Jiang Xiaoyu, and she said, "Jiang Xiaoyu, do you think I don't know why you're helping An Wanwan and the others? Don't you just want to make more money with them? You're so wicked, making up stories for a little money, you're truly heartless..."
"I'm talking nonsense?"
Jiang Xiaoyu raised her hand and swore that if she was lying, may she be struck by lightning.
An Meili glared at her and said, "You're really going all out, but not everyone is as heartless as you..."
"An Meili, who are you calling heartless?"
The villagers who were there to testify for An Wanwan and the others started shouting.
An Meili ignored them completely.
It was at this time that...
The town magistrate slammed his gavel down: "An Wanwan, An Miaomiao, now there are witnesses proving that you intentionally injured someone. What do you have to say for yourselves?"
"Sir, we have nothing to say. Just sentence us however you see fit."
An Wanwan returned to the town magistrate with composure.
The town magistrate paused for a moment.
Are they just going to let it go like that?
An Miaomiao reached out and tugged at An Wanwan's clothes: "Wanwan, are we just going to let this go?"
"Um."
An Wanwan didn't say much.
Su Yueniang and the others were anxious. If An Cheng and An Shi hadn't stopped them, they would have rushed forward to take the blame.
After some deliberation, the town magistrate consulted with his advisor and finally decided that An Wanwan and her companions should compensate Cui Shi and An Meili for all future medical expenses. In addition, they were sentenced to one month in prison and twenty strokes of the cane.
They had agreed to go to the main lobby beforehand.
Then Manager Tong arrived.
He certainly didn't come by himself; An Wanwan asked Li Dazhuang to find him.
He stepped forward.
The requests made were not too unreasonable.
The town magistrate, of course, had to give them face. In the end, he ordered An Wanwan and the others to pay all the money and serve three months in jail.
Li Daqiang was unhappy with the verdict. He stood up and said, "Sir, your judgment is too vague. What do you mean by 'compensate for all the money'? There should be some kind of figure."
"that is."
Li Qingmei echoed.
After thinking for a moment, the town magistrate changed the judgment, ordering each of An Wanwan's families to pay ten taels of silver. This ten taels of silver was a separate compensation for An Meili and her family. As for the cost of the medicine, they would pay whatever amount was owed later.
"That's far too little!"
Li Daqing and the others all thought it wasn't enough.
The town magistrate coughed and said, "It's hard to say what the condition of their faces is right now. If they can't be cured, then you can come to me to file a complaint, and I will make a judgment then."
