Granny Liu tried her best to suppress her panic and steadied her trembling voice, "My daughter-in-law gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl. I was so bold that I wanted to ask Taoist Li for the five taels of silver."
Because he felt guilty, his voice became lower and lower, but it did not prevent everyone present from hearing him.
Five taels of silver.
Twins, boy and girl.
The magistrate asked, "Where is the other baby boy?"
"In..." Granny Liu was just making up stories, so she couldn't explain it clearly. She hesitated. Suddenly, she remembered something and said immediately, "The baby boy was sent to his maternal grandfather's house for foster care."
The Zhao family also gave birth to a baby boy.
If the Zhao family admits that the child is theirs, then she won't have to go to jail.
Liu Po had a good idea and thought the idea was feasible. She felt more at ease and confident. She was not afraid at all of the county magistrate sending people to investigate.
After hearing this, the county magistrate immediately sent someone to invite witnesses.
Seeing this, everyone was confused and whispered, "What's going on now? Where is the baby boy?"
"This case is getting more and more bizarre. Is Taoist Li a liar?"
"Didn't you hear what Granny Liu said? They are twins, a boy and a girl. Taoist Li did not make a mistake in his calculations. Granny Liu was blinded by money, so she came up with a crooked idea to sue Taoist Li in order to get back the five taels of silver from him."
"Yes, that's right."
"That's not right," one person said in confusion, turning his head and saying, "Master Li means that the baby boy is from Granny Liu's family. Granny Liu swapped the two children. Since Master Li can calculate that the baby is a boy, it doesn't make sense that he would be wrong!" www.jiangnanxs.com Jiangnan Literature Network
"Not everything he said is necessarily correct," the man said, curling his lips as if he was the only one sober among the drunken crowd. "I also said that he and Liu Po worked together to do this in order to make his name famous. Who knows if the two of them have made any deals behind the scenes?"
"You are so unreasonable. If the two of them really worked together, why did they have to take it to court? Didn't you hear it just now? If Liu Po is a kidnapper, she will be sentenced to death."
"Who knows if they have had a falling out? A fly won't bite an egg without cracks. He is such a good man. Will Liu Po come to court to sue him?"
“…”
Unable to communicate with that person, others gave up trying to reason with him and quietly distanced themselves from him.
The man was confused and angry when he saw others distancing themselves from him.
I cursed in my heart, thinking they were all stupid, for not being able to see through such a small trick.
Soon, the Zhao family was also invited by the yamen runners. The Zhao family had heard about the incident at the Liu family. The two families lived not far from each other, and both lived five miles outside the city.
Upon hearing that the Liu family was going to sue the swindler, the eldest brother of the Zhao family rushed to the yamen with his younger brothers, and his wife also went with them.
He happened to meet a yamen runner who was coming. He knew that he was summoned by the county magistrate. Although he felt confused, he cooperated and followed the runner.
After arriving at the court, the Zhao family members still hadn't figured out what had happened. After looking at the younger sister, their eyes fell on the baby girl in her arms.
The eldest brother of the Zhao family had a bad temper. He took his younger brother to the Liu family because he had heard some rumors and knew that his younger sister's mother-in-law favored sons over daughters.
That's why he brought his younger brother with him to support his younger sister, but he didn't expect to encounter this incident.
Just as the eldest brother of the Zhao family was about to ask about the younger sister's situation, he remembered where he was and immediately went to the younger brother to wait for him.
People went to pay their respects to the county magistrate.

The small courtroom was filled with people, so crowded that the county magistrate was troubled by the crowd. He asked directly, "Grandma Liu said that she put the baby boy in the Zhao family. Is that true?"
These words made the Zhao family members very confused. ?
ah??
What a baby boy.
Zhao Lao Da's wife, Shi, was changing the position of holding the child when she suddenly heard these words. Her eyes widened and she first looked at Liu Po and Zhao Xiaomei who were kneeling on the ground, and then at the county magistrate.
At some point, Liu Po placed the baby boy in the Zhao family.
How come they don't know about this.
Without waiting for Shi to ask, Liu Po turned around and stared at the child in Shi's arms, scaring Shi so much that she took a step back.
Granny Liu said, "Sir, this is the baby boy my daughter-in-law gave birth to."
After hearing this, Boss Zhao was unhappy and said angrily: "Bullshit, this is obviously my son, when did he become your Liu family's child?"
"He is clearly my child. I just kept him in your house for a few days. When did he become your Zhao family's? You are so cruel that you even want to take my grandson away from me," Grandma Liu stretched out her hands tremblingly and covered her chest as if she was angry with Boss Zhao.
Zhao Lao Da ignored Liu Po's accusations and knelt on the ground and said, "Sir, the child in my wife's arms is indeed my child, from the Zhao family."
"Sir, this is the child that my daughter-in-law carried for ten months and gave birth to with great difficulty. There is no way it could be wrong."
"Little sister, please say a few words for your brother. The child was clearly born by your sister-in-law," Boss Zhao turned to look at his little sister, hoping that she could speak up to prove something for him.
Grandma Liu said venomously, "Zhao, don't go after your parents. If you dare to betray me, don't blame me for being rude."
"Stop making noise, stop making noise," the county magistrate slammed the gavel. His head was buzzing with the noise of this group of people, just like the non-stop chirping of birds on the branches.
"Is there any witness who can prove that what you said is true?"
"Sir, the midwife can testify," Boss Zhao said immediately. The midwife was a famous person in their area. Whenever a daughter-in-law wanted to give birth, she would ask the midwife to help. The midwife would naturally know whether the baby was a boy or a girl.
The word "midwife" also reminded Yang Shaoyuan, so he cupped his hands and said, "County Magistrate Hu, why don't you ask the midwife who delivered my wife to come here, so the truth can be revealed."
Everyone was waiting for the midwife to testify, but Li Le just frowned and glanced at Yang Shaoyuan and Liu Po.
The midwife might have been involved in replacing the two children, but her influence was insignificant and the matter involved three families. Moreover, the midwife of the Zhao family might not be the same person as the midwife of the Yang family.
The people present might not listen to him.
Li Le just sighed lightly and lowered his eyelids, as if he no longer cared about the matter.
The county magistrate looked at Li Lezhi in surprise, his eyes lingering on him for a moment, his eyes flashing slightly.
Taoist Priest Li had this expression when he heard about the midwife, like a god who no longer wanted to care about the human world. Could it be that there was something fishy about the midwife?
The county magistrate knew that there were only a few midwives hired in the surrounding area. Among them, there were one or two who loved money, but since the Liu family sued the court for five taels of silver, they were not rich enough to bribe a midwife.
The midwife would not risk her reputation by working for Granny Liu.
He must have been overthinking it.
The midwife came.
When everyone saw who was coming, they were unwilling to
I believe the midwife is involved in this case. She is a famous midwife in the county and a philanthropist. ?
Mrs. Hu has been delivering babies for many years and has never made a mistake. Her skills in delivering babies are first-rate. If a woman who has a difficult delivery asks Mrs. Hu to help, she will be safe.
"It turned out that it was Grandma Hu who delivered the baby. Grandma Hu was the first person to come into contact with the child. She must know whether it was a boy or a girl. This matter must be revealed."
"That's not right. According to what the Taoist priest said, the baby was a girl. How did Liu Po replace the baby from Hu Po? Moreover, that person looks rich or noble. Liu Po doesn't have that ability at all. Could it be that she miscalculated?"
?The author Feng Chui Lin An reminds you that the most complete "I am Ordinary and Worshipped as a National Master" is available at the domain name [(.)]#?#??
Is that person a liar?
The case has not yet been solved. Although the person who spoke did not say this sentence out loud, everyone else can hear the meaning of his words.
I was wondering if I had calculated it wrong?
Otherwise, how could Liu Po replace the child? She couldn't have teamed up with Hu Po. How could that be possible? That was Hu Po. If there were two others, there would be two others. But Hu Po was the most upright person, with a stern face and was not easy to get along with. I really couldn't imagine how Liu Po did it.
Mrs. Hu walked into the court, knelt down and said politely, "Greetings, Your Excellency."
The county magistrate asked, "Mrs. Hu, were you the one who delivered the babies for these families?"
After hearing this, Mrs. Hu looked up and glanced at everyone present, then said, "It was a common woman who delivered the baby."
"So, tell me, was the baby born to Young Master Yang a boy or a girl? Were the twins born to the Liu family? Is the baby in Zhao's arms Liu's?"
Three questions in a row showed the county magistrate's desire to solve the case quickly.
"Young Master Yang's family gave birth to a boy, and as for the Liu family..." Mrs. Hu paused and said, "They gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl. The Zhao family also gave birth to a boy, but he was a little weaker than ordinary children after he was born."
Liu Po finished speaking.
Boss Zhao said angrily: "Nonsense, my child gave birth to it."
"What this woman said is absolutely true."
Liu Po didn't expect the midwife to stand on her side. She was saved from a desperate situation. Liu Po immediately climbed up the pole and said, "Sir, the midwife testified, which shows that what I said is true. This demon is a liar. The Zhao family also wants to seize my grandson. Please help me."
Full of twists and turns.
No one expected this to be the case, but with the midwife's testimony, the truth came to light.
"What kind of half-immortal is this?"
"I told you before that he was a liar, but you didn't believe me. Now the truth is out. Fortunately, the liar didn't continue to cheat. Thanks to Granny Liu. If Granny Liu hadn't stepped forward to expose the liar's true face, we don't know how much money he would have taken from us."
"yes."
“…”
There were too many voices agreeing with him, and Mr. Gao's face became gloomy. He clenched his fists under his sleeves.
Mr. Gu looked confused for a moment. He had seen the magical powers of Li Shenxian and really didn't want to believe that Li Shenxian would tell a lie for five taels of silver. But that was not right. Li Shenxian had calculated that Liu Po's family would give birth to a baby boy, but he just calculated the wrong place where the baby would be.
"No," Master Gu remembered that it was Master Gao who came to visit the baby boy's family. However, thinking back to everything that happened in the court, Immortal Li did not seem to refute it. Could it be that Immortal Li had made a mistake this time?
He was puzzled and asked Master Gao: "Do you think Immortal Li made a mistake?"
"Humph," Master Gao snorted coldly, sweeping past the people around him and said loudly, "I believe that Immortal Li will not make a mistake."
"Immortal Li, I believe you won't make a mistake!"
Mr. Gao's voice was extremely penetrating, and every word he said reached Li Le's ears.
Li Le just looked back, as if he didn't expect that things had come to this point and there were still people who believed him.
Li Lezhi really didn't expect this.
He just heard what the midwife said and suspected that he had calculated wrong. After all, he was the one who had the teacher's stamp of approval.
But after hearing what Master Gao said, a feeling of being trusted flowed through my heart. That feeling was wonderful, just like drinking a sip of ice Sprite in the hot summer.
Li Le just turned around and said, "Sir, I have something to say."
