Xue Yazhi knew that the matter was not serious and nodded immediately.
"Dazhuzi, stay with your wife. We'll be here soon."
Old Mrs. Zhao left in a hurry.
The Zhao family quickly brought the thief, Song Lizheng, and many villagers who helped to testify, all to the town.
The garrison commander's surname was Lu.
His ceremonial hall could not really be called a ceremonial hall, but was just a small house where ceremonies were held, with the word "Zhen Shou" written on the door.
Lu Zhenshou had not expected that so many villagers would suddenly come to his small house today. If he had not known the leader, Song Lizheng, he would have thought that something big had happened.
There is no debate hall in the town, so the debate basically takes place in the yard, with the red side and the red side arguing with each other first.
Like the village head, the garrison commander appears to be a minor official, but in reality he is just a professional and smooth-talking person.
But today there was no need to refute, because it was clear that the criminal had been caught red-handed. After hearing that the Liu family was Mrs. Zhao's maiden family, Lu Zhenshou had a clear idea in his mind.
After all, in the countryside, the issue of a man's parents relying on his daughter is everywhere.
The only difference is how hard you bite.
For those who are not too cruel, sending eggs and millet to the mother's home every few days is not a big deal. For those who are too cruel, they just give money directly to the mother's home.
This is the first time I've heard of a woman's family taking advantage of her grandson's wedding to rob his wife of her gold bracelet.
When the gold bracelet, which weighed exactly the right pound, was placed in the hands of the garrison commander, he was also stunned.
Zhao Erzhu immediately said, "Sir, this gold bracelet was bought from Ruyifang in town. The shopkeeper can testify that it is worth ten taels. What do you think the verdict should be? In addition, my two uncles also stole two bundles of things and brought them here. After counting, they are worth three and a half taels."
"First, remove the cloth from the person's mouth."
The rags that were blocking the mouths of the Liu family were immediately gone. It was thought that the Liu family would argue and protest their innocence, but unexpectedly, the two brothers of the Liu family started to rant like crazy and insult the Zhao family in various ways.
This also includes taking their things. I did it on purpose. We are your dear brother and mother. If you dare to treat me like this, you will be struck by lightning and God will punish you.
After hearing this, Lu Zhenshou thought to himself, he didn't know whether God would punish the Zhao family. This was the first time he had seen such arrogant people from the Zhao family.
"It's crystal clear now. Someone, shut up, you noisy fellow."
Guard Lu said, "The queen announced in public: 'The criminals, the Liu family, stole and robbed the Zhao family, worth thirteen and a half taels of silver. We were caught red-handed in public, and they confessed. According to the laws of our dynasty, if the robbery exceeds ten taels, the thief shall be punished with twenty strokes of the cane. If the thief is over ten years old, the punishment may be reduced, or his children or grandchildren may take the punishment in his place.'"
"good."
The people of Hexi Village immediately applauded and cheered, feeling very happy.
As he spoke, the town commander's men came over and pressed the two sons of the Liu family onto the bench.
"Don't hit my husband."
“No…”
Zhang and Gao cried together.
When Old Lady Liu was brought in, the men took a look at the garrison commander and realized that this was clearly a punishment of more than ten strokes. Twenty strokes of the board would result in death.
"Then the son will take the punishment instead. Each of us will be beaten thirty times."
"yes."
"Don't hit my son, hit me instead," Old Lady Liu was already shocked. Liu Chunxi was serious with them and really wanted to go to the hall and beat people.
Secondly, when she heard that the punishment would fall on her two precious sons, it was almost like the end of her life.
