Chapter 649: Big Fight in Court
"She has been pampered by her family since she was a child. She has never suffered. She has become a miracle doctor and has recognized Magistrate Meng as her godfather. Our Magistrate is also her godbrother. No wonder you mentioned the Jiang family. When your godsister comes, you naturally have to let her go. Aren't they family members?"
The woman who was speaking was from Lianshan Town, so she knew the Jiang family very well.
But what she said made Jiang Sanhe's face turn pale.
"What are you talking about? Jiang family? Jiang Fubao? Are you talking about Jiang Fubao? Is her grandmother called Zhang Jinlan?"
Jiang Sanhe pulled the old woman's arm and asked frantically.
"Hey, what are you doing? Please don't tear my new clothes. Let go." The old woman saw that Jiang Sanhe was pulling so hard that his sleeves were wrinkled, and she slapped Jiang Sanhe's hand in anger.
"I'm asking you a question! Is it Jiang Fubao? Her grandmother is Zhang Jinlan?" Jiang Sanhe asked again with bloodshot eyes.
"Yes, yes, I'm talking about her. Let go of her quickly, or I'll call the police. It's so unlucky that I meet a lunatic in such a lively place." The old woman also thought Jiang Sanhe was a lunatic, so after she pried her hands apart, she hid aside.
The people around were pointing at Jiang Sanhe.
Jiang Sanhe didn't care about the embarrassment, she squeezed to the front and looked inside eagerly.
Time passes by little by little.
The officers finally came over.
Stand in two rows.
"Go to court——"
"mighty--"
Meng Bujiu walked to the court in his official uniform. He sat behind the desk and slammed the table with a wooden stick in his hand.
"Bring up the prisoner Sun Guangzong!"
The sound of the alarm clock was so loud that the people watching were frightened and trembled in their hearts.
It was as if they were the prisoners being taken away.
There is an inexplicable feeling of guilt and fear.
"Wuwuwu, I want my mother, let me go, grandma, someone is bullying me, wuwuwu--" Sun Guangzong, who had been imprisoned for a long time, was brought up by the police crying.
He was forcibly held down again and the officer kicked him.
Sun Guangzong felt pain in the back of his knee and knelt down.
The hard bluestone floor made a "thump" sound.
It hurt just to hear it, and Sun Guangzong cried even more miserably.
Jiang Sanhe, who was standing outside, felt so heartbroken.
Her tears were also streaming down.
"Let my son go, let me in, I want to go in--" She rushed in, but was stopped by the officers.
The noise was so loud that Meng Bujiu's eyes fell on her.
"Who is this person in the court? Why are you causing trouble? Bring him up here!" A cold and stern voice echoed in the court.
Many people swallowed their saliva and silently prayed for this crazy woman.
If you dare to make trouble in court, you must want to die.
"I am Fubao's aunt, my last name is Jiang, this is Fubao's cousin, he is her cousin! Let my son go, we are a family, how can we arrest our own family members and bring them to the county government? Let my son go, my son, I am here to save you, I believe you did not steal money, it must be someone who framed you."
Jiang Sanhe immediately revealed his identity.
She thought that after saying this, Meng Bujiu would let his son go for the Jiang family's sake, and maybe even have mercy on her and give her some money.
But what she didn't expect was that Meng Bujiu's face became extremely gloomy.
"Anyone who causes trouble in court will be beaten with ten strokes of the stick!" When these words came out, Jiang Sanhe was stunned.
She could no longer take care of her son and was so frightened that she fell to the ground and leaned backwards.
"Yes, sir." The two officers obeyed the order and stepped forward to hold her down.
After a while, the sound of hitting the board was heard.
“Bang, bang, bang—”
“Ahhh—”
"Help, stop hitting me, ah ah ah, I am a member of the Jiang family, I am Fubao's aunt, I am Zhang's daughter, let me go, stop hitting me, ah ah ah——"
The heavy board hit Jiang Sanhe's buttocks, and the dull sound made Sun Guangzong forget to cry.
The people outside the court also pursed their lips and watched without blinking.
"What a fool! He actually barged in and started trouble. Did he really think the county magistrate was a vegetarian?"
"Hey, you stupid woman, you don't know what the law is, you deserve to be beaten, you are a woman, yet you come here to make trouble, aren't you courting death?"
"Your Excellency the Magistrate has not given me a light beating. I remember a woman who broke into the court twelve years ago was beaten with thirty sticks and died."
"Even a strong man can't stand thirty strokes of the cane, let alone a woman. I'm afraid she'll get ten strokes, which is not light at all. She'll have to stay in bed for a few months at least. Tsk tsk, she's asking for trouble."
"Mom, I'm afraid—"
"Don't be afraid, son. Let's not watch anymore. Let's go. Mom will take you to eat wontons—"
"......"
Various sounds could be heard in the crowd, but they were no match for the dull sound of beatings and Jiang Sanhe's roar.
The ten strokes of the cane were finished quickly, and Jiang Sanhe's buttocks were covered in blood.
Even without opening it, you can tell that the meat inside must be rotten.
"I am a member of the Jiang family... How can you hit someone in the Jiang family? Aren't you Fubao's foster brother? If she knew, if my mother knew, how would the Jiang family look at you?"
Jiang Sanhe used up the last of his strength to say these words, and then fainted.
"Hmph, forget about being my aunt. Even if you are my aunt, what's the point? If you make a mistake, you deserve to be beaten! Come here, Sun Guangzong committed the crime of stealing, and he was severely beaten with 15 boards. His mother openly made trouble, so he was beaten with 5 more boards! Those who dare to commit crimes in the county governed by me will not be forgiven!"
The alarm clock rang again.
The blame also fell on Sun Guangzong.
“Ahhh—”
“Help—”
"Murder—"
“Ahh…”
Although Sun Guangzong was fat and stronger than his mother, he received more beatings.
After being hit thirteen times, he passed out.
The man was dizzy, but the beating did not stop. He had to hit him with twenty boards before it ended.
Blood was oozing out of Sun Guangzong's buttocks, and his feces and urine were gushing out uncontrollably. The urine flowed down his pants, over the bench, and dripped onto the ground, soaking the bluestone bricks.
His butt looks even scarier than Jiang Sanhe's.
Half of the onlookers have left.
They are all timid people and dare not look at it again.
It took only half an hour from the time the court opened to the time the crowd dispersed.
The mother and son were sent back to Sunjia Village in Lianshan Town by officials in a horse-drawn carriage.
When the village chief learned that the official was coming, he was so scared that he crawled on his knees to greet him.
But when he learned that someone in his village had committed a crime, he was so angry that he slapped Zhou Xiufen in the face after the officer left.
"Look at what your family has done! You have brought shame to the entire village! I will discuss this with the clan leader, and if he agrees, you will be expelled from the clan!"
Having said this, he left.
The villagers gathered outside Sun's house, pointing and talking inside.
Zhou Xiufen's right cheek was burning with pain, but she couldn't afford to be angry.
