Chapter 232 No Deal!
Xu Zhiyi glanced at Xue Cheng and said directly, "If Master Xue came here to plead for your sister, you can leave now! No need to discuss anything!!"
Xue Cheng heard this and said, "Manager Xu, my sister deserves to be punished for what she did, but my mother is old and misses her so much that she has fallen ill."
"Manager Xu, I know this is unfair to you victims, so I only ask that my sister be exiled for a few years later, until my mother dies, and then exile her. As compensation for these years, I am willing to give one thousand taels a year, how do you think?"
Hearing this, Xu Zhiyi said calmly, "Master Xue, what you said is really ridiculous. I am just the owner of a small pastry shop. How can I have the ability to exile Xue Mei whenever I want?"
"The county magistrate is not a fool, will he listen to me?"
Xue Cheng: "Manager Xu..."
"Okay, I'm not interested in listening. A person who wants to harm me is never worthy of my forgiveness. Master Xue, take care. I won't see you off!" After Xu Zhiyi finished speaking, he pointed to the back door and signaled Xue Cheng to leave.
Xue Cheng wanted to say something but stopped himself. Finally, he sighed and left helplessly.
Unexpectedly, Xue Yinyin came right after he left!
Xu Zhiyi looked at Xue Yinyin in front of him and asked, "Why? Are you here to plead for your aunt as well?"
Xue Yinyin waved her hand and shook her head when she heard this: "No, I just came to tell Sister Zhiyi that my birthday party will not be held!"
"Oh, I understand. Under the circumstances, it's really not a good idea to hold it! Otherwise, people will know that we are holding a birthday party, and they might think it's a farewell party for Xue Mei." Xu Zhiyi shrugged to show his understanding.
"Oh, Sister Zhiyi, I'm sorry, I didn't expect my aunt to be so extreme. Just now, my uncle and cousin came to the mansion to make a fuss. The father and daughter were afraid that without my aunt, their purse would naturally be gone!"
Xu Zhiyi: "Your father just came and wanted me to ask the government not to pursue your aunt and try to avoid her exile. I refused your father."
Xue Yinyin nodded after hearing this: "I know my father will definitely come..."
"Oh, forget it, let's not talk about it for now. Sister Zhiyi, I have to go back, otherwise my family will say that I am still in the mood to go out and play at this time!"
Xu Zhiyi: “Yeah!”
At this time, Shi Baozhu was also escorted to the county government office. The county magistrate found the escorted person looked familiar.
When Shi Baozhu saw the county magistrate, he immediately shouted excitedly: "County magistrate's brother-in-law, it's me, Shi Jiao is my cousin, woo woo, county magistrate's brother-in-law, I've been wronged!"
The county magistrate suddenly remembered what he had done and quickly asked someone to come over and untie the men. Upon seeing this, Constable Yu quickly handed the letter to the county magistrate and said, "County magistrate, the county magistrate also wrote you a letter, asking you to read the letter before making a decision!"
After the county magistrate finished reading the letter, he looked at Shi Baozhu again, sat down on the chair, and remained silent for a long time, as if he was thinking about making a decision. In the end, he did not dare to take the risk to save Shi Baozhu, so he opened a court for trial. Based on conclusive evidence, he sentenced Shi Baozhu to immediate execution and was beheaded three days later.
Shi Baozhu was kneeling in the court, happily waiting for the county magistrate's brother-in-law to declare him not guilty and release him on the spot. However, the three words "immediate execution" made him faint.
No!!! The county magistrate's brother-in-law definitely made a wrong judgment!
"Sir!! I am Shi Baozhu! Shi Jiao is my sister!!"
When the county magistrate heard Shi Baozhu yelling and revealing their relationship, his face immediately turned very bad and he quickly ordered people to take him back to the jail.
When Shi Baozhu's family learned that Shi Baozhu was taken to the county government office, they immediately followed him to the county town. Everyone was chatting and laughing as they rode in the carriage, because they all believed that with the relationship with the county magistrate, they would be fine.
It just so happens that we can all go visit the county magistrate's nephew-in-law later. It won't do any harm to get close to him.
However, when they learned that Shi Baozhu was sentenced to immediate execution, Shi Baozhu's parents almost fainted. After they recovered, they cried and shouted and went to their niece Shi Jiao to plead for mercy.
Shi Qiao: "What? The master wants to kill my second brother? How is this possible? Uncle, aunt, and second sister-in-law, did you hear it wrong?"
"Woo woo! We really thought we heard it wrong! But we just came from the government office, how can we say anything nonsense about this matter?? Woo woo, Jiao'er! Aunt, please, you have to save your second brother!"
Shi Jiao: "Aunt, don't worry, I'll go find the master right now, and my second brother will be fine!"
"Okay, okay, as long as Baozhu is fine, we are willing to pay a huge sum of money."
Hearing the sound of the door being pushed open, the county magistrate looked up and saw that it was Shi Jiao. He gave her no hope before she even opened her mouth: "If you are here to plead for your cousin, then don't say anything. Your cousin can't change his mind!"
Shi Jiao couldn't stop crying when she heard that. She asked in a sobbing voice, "Why can't it be changed? Isn't everything just a matter of the master's words? I think you just don't want to help. If Second Brother... how can I go back to my mother's house with dignity in the future?"
The county magistrate frowned when he heard this. "My words? If I really let your second brother go, I'm afraid I won't be able to be the county magistrate anymore. Your second brother has also privately offended the prefect Lin Xu's people. How can you ask me to be partial to him?"
"Do you think I lost my job because of saving your second brother?"
Shi Jiao turned pale when she heard this: "How could this happen? How could my second brother offend the prefect?"
"Humph! Hasn't he offended enough people? This time there's nothing I can do!"
Shi Jiao returned to the gate of the yard with a grim look on her face. Thinking that her uncle's family was still waiting for good news from her, she stood at the door and did not dare to go in and face them.
"Jiao'er is back! How's it going? Can we go pick up your second brother now?"
"Aunt, my second brother has offended the prefect's people this time, and the master can't do anything about it!"
"What??"
"Aunt!! Xiao Cui, go get a doctor!"
"Cheng'er, is there really no other solution? What about the county magistrate?"
Xue Cheng shook his head: "It's useless, the county magistrate won't even see me"
Madam Xue: "No, I will go and beg them myself!!"
Upon hearing this, Wei disagreed: "Mom, you are not begging people, you are forcing them!"
Madam Xue: “Woo woo!”
Wei: "Mother, I know you love my sister-in-law, but loving someone doesn't mean you indulge her. Every time she gets into trouble, she just cries in front of you two elders, and you two elders immediately soften your hearts. Not only do you not punish my sister-in-law, but you also have to help her apologize to others behind her back."
"You are harming her, that's why you are in this situation..."
Xue Cheng pulled Wei and signaled her to stop talking, as his parents were feeling very uncomfortable right now.
