"Captain Lin, please take the third brother to the side room to rest."
"Okay, Madam Su."
Lin Kun looked at Su Ningwen and said with a smile, "The third child of the Su family will go with uncle."
Su Ningwen felt that this place was unfamiliar. Although the man in front of him was a good uncle, there might be bad guys among the officers who wanted to capture him as a child.
Su Ningwen held Xiao Lingyu's hand tightly and didn't want to leave with Lin Kun.
Xiao Lingyu lowered his eyes and glanced at Su Ningwen, "Third Brother, the court is where bad guys are interrogated. If you underestimate it, you'll be scared."
Su Ningwen thought that he had seen Zhang Sanzhu being beaten with a stick, so he was not afraid.
When Xiao Lingyu saw him open his mouth, he instantly understood that he wanted to follow him in.
"Well, if you're scared, just close your eyes and cover your ears, okay?"
Su Ningwen nodded and followed Xiao Lingyu into the court.
Xiao Lingyu glanced at the middle-aged man kneeling in the hall. He looked a bit like Xu Yulan.
Miao Xiantong quickly asked someone to bring up a chair, "Mrs. Su, please take a seat."
Xiao Lingyu was a little confused. She was just a poor woman with the title of princess. There was no need for the county magistrate, who was so far away from home, to be so respectful to her.
Her previous teaching of a lesson to Zhang Sanzhu was just a show of force.
Since Miao Xiantong was so respectful to her, it meant that the imperial edict to revoke the title had not yet come down.
It's a good opportunity to use this as an excuse to give the second branch of the Xu family a good warning.
Xiao Lingyu took Su Ningwen to sit on the chair and carefully looked at Xu Liangxiao who was kneeling in the hall. He had a square face and looked very upright, and he didn't seem like someone who would bully his eldest niece.
"Master Miao, please judge the case."
Miao Xiantong sat upright and said sternly, "Xu Liangxiao, you ordered Wu Linshun to rob the Su family's property in broad daylight. Do you admit your guilt?"
"Master Miao, I only instructed Shopkeeper Wu to invite Madam Su to Yulanxuan as a guest. I have no idea what went wrong."
Miao Xiantong turned his head to look at Wu Linshun, who was lying on the bench. "Manager Wu, is what your boss said true?"
Wu Linshun said, "Sir, my boss did ask me to invite Madam Su to Yulanxuan to discuss important matters. We did not steal Madam Su's food. Instead, Madam Su allowed the eldest son of the Su family to hurt our people. You just saw how badly we were injured. Please, Master Miao, help us get justice and punish Madam Su for allowing her son to commit the crime."
"You're talking nonsense! It was clearly you who robbed Madam Su's property first. We at Yu Lan saw it clearly. It was you who robbed the Su family's carriage first, and the eldest son of the Su family took action to teach you a lesson. Madam Su can't be blamed."
Li Su hurried into the hall and knelt in the courtroom. "Sir, I am the shopkeeper of Shi Zai Yu Lan. What I said is absolutely true. Please, sir, uphold justice for Madam Su."
Miao Xiantong glanced at Su Ningwen and thought about the fat eldest son of the Su family.
Some people couldn't believe it. How could such a small child hurt more than a dozen strong men?
Upon hearing this, Lin Kun remembered what Zhang Sanzhu said, and at this moment he still didn't believe that the head of the Su family could hurt anyone.
Miao Xiantong stared at Xu Liangxiao for a few breaths, "Xu Liangxiao, what else do you have to say?"
Xu Liangxiao argued cunningly, "Sir, Li Su was once the shopkeeper of Yulanxuan. I kicked him out of Yulanxuan and he has a personal grudge against us. His words cannot be trusted."
Xiao Lingyu didn't want to waste any more time arguing with them. "Master Miao, the one who bumped into me was Wu Linshun, and he was the one who openly robbed my property. He should be punished according to the laws of Beiyi for the crime of openly robbing others' property and the crime of bullying women and children and intimidating the weak."
Miao Xiantong: ???
Is it the great disrespectful crime of oppressing women and children and intimidating the weak?
There is no such article in Beiyi Law. Miao Xiantong understood that Xiao Lingyu did not want to reveal his identity.
"By the way, Lord Miao, there were people from other restaurants who were present at the time and they can all come out to testify. If you don't mind the trouble, you can summon them over. What I said is true." Xiao Lingyu said without any doubt.
Miao Xiantong then pronounced the verdict, "Wu Linshun, you led others to openly rob others of their property, bully women and children, and intimidate the weak. This is a crime of disrespect and is punishable by death. I will throw you into prison and execute you on a later date."
Wu Linshun exclaimed, "Sir, this is unjust. I am innocent."
Wu Linshun didn't expect that Miao Xiantong was actually being led by Xiao Lingyu. Madam Su is no longer a daughter of an official family, but a village woman. Why is the county magistrate still so respectful to her?
Miao Xiantong frowned and said coldly, "Come here! The prisoner is roaring in the court, so he should be given fifty lashes first!"
Wu Linshun's heart trembled, and he cried out loudly, "Sir, I was just following orders. My crime does not deserve death. I beg you to show some mercy."
Miao Xiantong waved Lin Kun and the others away, "Then tell me, who gave you the instructions?"
"It's my boss."
“Bang!”
Xu Liangxiao slapped him across the face. He was really raising an ungrateful person. "Sir, I am a well-known squire in Xishui County. How could I order my subordinates to rob Madam Su's property? I clearly asked him to invite her here, but he acted on his own without following my instructions. Please understand my words."
Xu Yulan, who was waiting outside the court, thought that his second uncle was always shrewd and would never tell his subordinates directly.
This was probably something Wu Linshun did on his own initiative.
Now that Second Uncle is in trouble, Yu Lan Xuan is left without a leader.
My eldest cousin is away traveling and can't come back for a year or two.
Her second cousin only knew how to go to the brothel to listen to music in his spare time and had no idea how to run a restaurant, so it was easy for her to take back Yu Lan Xuan.
When Xu Yulan turned around and was about to leave, Xu Liangxiao suddenly turned around and glanced at Xu Yulan standing outside the court. "Yulan, I'm your second uncle. How could we, the Xu family, order our men to openly rob others of their property? Talk to Lord Miao quickly."
