Chapter 533 was caught
Fortunately, such a smart child was not sold by the Song family, otherwise it would be a huge loss for their family.
…
When Song Chuman returned, she happened to see Ji Sheng and his men capturing the six members of the Song family.
Seeing people watching nearby, she stepped forward and asked, "Did they commit any crime?"
She also didn't know what excuse Ji Sheng would use to arrest them.
Zhao Chunli was very excited when he saw that it was Song Chuman. "Ah Man, you're just in time. I heard that Ji Lizheng's guard Ji Sheng was walking down the street with a purse and it suddenly fell to the ground."
"Song Hemao and Song Hewei happened to be right behind him. They were short of money, and when they saw the bag of money on the ground, their eyes lit up. They didn't even inform Ji Sheng, who was only three meters away from them."
"Ji Sheng quickly realized the money was gone and immediately went after Song Hemao and Song Hewei."
"But when we caught up with Old Song's family, they were actually dividing the money and deciding how to use it."
"Ji Sheng asked them to return it, but they refused, saying they found it and it's theirs."
"Ji Sheng had no choice but to send people to arrest them and hand them over to the authorities. I heard that if someone takes someone else's money and refuses to return it with malicious intent, even though the crime is not serious, they will definitely be punished with a beating."
Another villager said, "I heard that Song Hemao and Song Hewei are the main culprits, so they will definitely receive a heavier punishment. The others are accomplices, and they will also receive at least dozens of strokes of the cane."
Song Chuman's mouth twitched. So this was the so-called excuse.
The laws of Xuanling Country do indeed stipulate this. Ji Sheng has taken advantage of human nature, so Song Hemao and Song Hewei were so easily fooled.
But doing so is not against the law, and even if the censor investigates, he will not be able to find any fault.
Soon, the people from the old Song family were brought to the road in front of Song Chuman.
Seeing Song Chuman, Song Xiangqian said anxiously, "Ah Man, please help Grandpa. Lord Ji Sheng said that as long as we compensate him with ten taels of silver, he will let go of what happened just now. It's only ten taels of silver, so please help us pay for it."
Song Chuman pretended to be childish and shook her head: "No, you just picked up Master Ji Sheng's money and you haven't returned it yet. You borrowed my money and you definitely won't return it. I'm not that stupid."
The people around him burst into laughter.
Children speak directly.
If you are willing, say yes; if you are not willing, say no; never beat around the bush.
Song Xiangqian wanted to say something, but was pushed away by Ji Sheng's men.
Others also wanted to plead for mercy, but when they thought that Song Chuman still had their sons' (grandsons') lives in her hands, they didn't dare to say anything.
Li Cuicui had a sad face.
I am so unlucky today. I originally thought that I could extort some money from Song Chuman today, and then take my two grandsons back, so that I would have hope for the future.
I didn’t expect that Song Chuman would actually threaten them in return. It’s so hateful.
Now they have to be punished. Their lives are too miserable.
night
Everyone in the Song family was sent back.
Song Hexiu went out for a walk and told them about their story during dinner. "I heard that all six members of the Song family were beaten with sticks. Song Hemao and Song Hewei were more serious, so they received 80 strokes of the cane. The others were accomplices and were also given 20 strokes of the cane."
"When he was sent back, his buttocks were bleeding from being beaten."
When Song Chuman came back, she told Song Hexiu about Ji Lizheng's help to them, so he didn't find it strange at this time.
