Chapter 115: Black Mountain Academy Ancient Juvenile Detention Center
Lord Zhou said coldly, "Is what they said true?"
Li Cuicui panicked and blurted out, "They didn't hit me on purpose, sir, please don't blame them."
The other members of the Old Song family suddenly felt powerless.
Idiot, aren't you admitting your guilt?
Mr. Zhou's face darkened. "That is to say, their reports are all true."
Li Cuicui's face changed, and she finally realized what she had said. She said hurriedly, "It's not true. It's really not true."
Lord Zhou looked at Song Jinbao and Song Yinbao and said in a deep voice, "Assaulting Grandmother is a heinous crime. According to the law, the most serious punishment is death, and the less serious punishment is exile to Black Mountain Academy."
Song Chuman looked at Song Hexiu and asked curiously, "Dad, where is Black Mountain Academy?"
Could it be possible to let them study for free?
Song Hexiu said, "The Black Mountain Academy is nominally an academy, but in reality, it's just a place to detain children who have committed misdeeds. They don't teach them to read or write. They're just locked up with people of the same age. They train and do chores every day, and they take regular assessments. If they pass, they can go home."
Song Chuman suddenly realized that it was the juvenile detention center in ancient times.
Song Xiangqian slumped to his knees. Seeing the children still standing, he quickly asked them to kneel down as well, saying anxiously, "Sir, it was the children's grandmother who was beaten, but she won't pursue the matter. They say that if the people don't sue, the officials won't investigate. Please show some leniency."
Li Cuicui also knelt down and pleaded with tears in her eyes: "Sir, I'm fine. I beat them too, and they are even worse off. Please have mercy on me."
The other members of the Old Song family also knelt down and pleaded for mercy.
Lord Zhou frowned and said, "Although the saying goes, 'If the people don't complain, the officials won't investigate,' but if your child makes a mistake again and affects others, it will be an even greater crime. You must discipline him well, otherwise it will bring trouble to the whole family and it will be too late to regret."
Song Xiangqian hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, we will discipline him strictly and make sure nothing like this happens again."
Upon hearing this, Lord Zhou stopped chasing them and let everyone disperse.
Most people in Qingyu Village are simple and honest, and they soon return to their homes.
Song Chuman also left with her family.
The people in the old Song family breathed a sigh of relief and stood up at the same time.
Song Xiangqian didn't leave for the time being. When most people had left, he looked at Ji Jingnan with a flattering look on his face: "Ji Lizheng, hello, my name is Song Xiangqian."
He just gave the new head of the village a bad impression, so he needs to restore his image quickly.
Seeing that there were not many people around, Ji Jingnan's expression changed instantly, and he said indifferently, "Well, anything else?"
Seeing this, Song Xiangqian's heart skipped a beat. He quickly said, "It's okay. I just wanted to say hello. I just don't know what you like to eat. I'll bring it to you next time you come."
Ji Jingnan frowned. "Are you trying to bribe me? In front of the county magistrate, you want me to be fired on my first day in office, right? Do you really want your child to be sent to Black Mountain Academy?"
Song Xiangqian looked at County Magistrate Zhou and saw that he was angry, so he quickly said, "I didn't mean that. Since you don't need it, I won't mention it."
After saying that, he walked away dejectedly.
The few people who stayed behind saw that Song Xiangqian's flattery had backfired, so they didn't dare to stay any longer and left quickly.
After all the villagers left, Ji Jingnan snorted, "Do you really think I'm Du Lizheng and that I can give you benefits with just a little favor? Dream on!"
