Chapter 96: Court

When she looked, she saw that not only her brothers, but also her sisters-in-law, sisters-in-law and cousins ​​had come.

Having many relatives does have its advantages.

A group of people came over in a mighty stream, and A Yu ran towards them.

"Brothers, this bastard stole the money I earned to marry my new wife, and threw my daughter into the abandoned baby tower."

"If I hadn't arrived in time, the child would have been burned to death!"

Of course, saying this would only make them sympathize with her, not empathize with her.

So, Ah Yu added: "Look, his family has built a tiled house. Has he given you the money I sent to my mother's family?"

When a dozen people heard this, they immediately became angry.

What?

Money!

Ah Yu also sent money to her mother's family, but this guy took all the money.

How can you tolerate this?

"Brothers, go!"

"This damn guy swallowed the money, today I will beat him and make him spit it out!"

The momentum of the group was overwhelming, but the momentum of the "enthusiastic" crowd around them could not compare to that of a group of poor ghosts whose money had been robbed.

Now this group of people's resentment is heavier than that of a fierce ghost.

The crowds moved away.

He Genzi was surrounded and beaten.

His grandfather came over and tried to stop him, but was beaten as well.

When it comes to money, these people don't care about respecting the elderly or loving the young.

Their newly-wed bride came out and saw what was happening, and quickly hid back in the house.

Ah Yu saw it, pointed toward the house, and shouted, "Brothers! The ten taels of silver I sent you were all used as a betrothal gift to her."

"Remember to ask her for it—"

How dare you instigate someone to throw her daughter into the abandoned baby tower? Do you think you can escape?

If it wasn't for the fact that he couldn't justify killing someone in public, Ah Yu would have gone up and torn her to pieces!

I saw the dozen or so big men who were beating people had gleams in their eyes, staring at the door like hungry wolves.

Then he rushed in fiercely.

It's really a "break-in".

The seemingly solid wooden door was knocked away.

Then I heard the woman's miserable screams, followed by a series of cries of "Fuck you! Give me your money back!"

When the police came to arrest people, they saw the defendants lying on the ground like rag dolls, almost out of breath.

In the past, when they went to arrest people, the defendants would either resist and curse or beg for mercy in fear.

It was the first time that the defendant saw them as if he had seen his savior.

"The policeman! The policeman is coming!"

"Help! Help us!"

“Help!”

Yamen runners: ...Why do I suddenly feel so great?

The leader asked the pitiful woman standing beside him holding the child.

"What's going on?"

Ah Yu wiped her tears and answered, "I don't know. They wake up in the morning with bruises all over their bodies."

Yamen runner:?

He glanced at He Genzi, who had both legs broken and could only sit on the ground.

Confused, he asked, "What about his legs?"

Ah Yu nodded calmly: "I've told you so many times, he walked out with a broken leg."

Yamen runner:?

He sought confirmation from people around him and asked a villager.

Ah Yu also looked at him with a smile.

The village man couldn't help but shudder, and then he looked at the group of big men with weapons standing behind her.

He nodded sharply: "That's how it came out!"

Bailiff: ...Forget it, just carry it back first.

When they arrived at the government office, the case was tried in court.

Ah Yu knelt down and said, "Your Excellency, Lord Ming."

Speaking of this, A Yu still felt a little emotional.

If she were still the princess's wet nurse, the county magistrate would still have to pay respect to her.

Who said that the princess's mother's rank was higher than his?

But because of these bad guys, she had to give up everything.

A Yu handed over Xin'er's swaddling blanket.

"This is the swaddling blanket that my little girl was in when she was thrown into the baby abandonment tower. It's stained with the body oil of other babies."

"As for the witnesses, everyone in Hejia Village knew that He Gen abandoned his daughter."

"The Ming government will find out if they send someone to ask."

Ah Yu then took out the big red window paper-cut with the character for "happiness" that he had taken down from He Gen's house.

"The red cloth from his house has not been taken down yet. The bride is still wearing a red dress."

"This is divorcing your wife and marrying another one."

"If he is guilty of theft again, I sent part of the money I earned back to my mother's family, but this family secretly went to the post station and intercepted and embezzled the money!"

She really did send part of it, but when she asked them, they said they hadn’t received it. So it’s obvious where it went!

The county magistrate sat lazily on a high place. There were many cases of parents playing tricks on each other, and this one was not surprising. He yawned a little tiredly.

"I understand. What does the defendant have to say in his defense?"

When He Gen's family heard that they were asked to pay back the money, they were not willing to do so at all.

"Your Excellency the Governor." They didn't know how to address the county magistrate.

When I heard Ah Yu calling out like that, I started to imitate him.

"We earned all this money ourselves. How could she, a woman, earn money?"

Ah Yu was almost speechless and laughed at.

He made up a seemingly reasonable reason and treated the court as if it were a village, thinking he could make up rumors.

Do you think you can just believe what others say without providing any evidence?

"Master Bingming, I was fortunate enough to be selected to serve in the Taiji Palace. My monthly salary and rewards are all recorded in the palace."

"We'll know once we check the source."

The palace regulations required that the selection into the palace be kept secret to prevent spies from finding out what they were doing in the palace.

It is easy for villains to bribe or control their family members and threaten palace people to do things for them.

But there was no need to keep it secret after leaving the palace, because after leaving the palace, they would not be able to do anything.

As soon as the three words "Taiji Palace" came out, the lazy county magistrate sitting high up suddenly had his eyes wide open like bells.

"Tai Chi Palace? Is it... that Tai Chi Palace?"

As the county magistrate spoke, he clasped his hands together and bowed in the direction of the capital.

Ah Yu thinks the county magistrate is not very smart.

"Is there another place in the whole of Great Yue that dares to call itself the Tai Chi Palace?"

Are you dissatisfied that the Nine Clans are too numerous?

The county magistrate stood up from his seat so quickly that he swayed a bit.

He didn't even have time to tidy up his clothes before he hurried down to help Ah Yu.

He said in his mouth: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm so short-sighted that I didn't recognize your identity."
