Zhang He stepped back upon hearing this: "What are you going to do?"
"Of course I'm going to teach you a lesson. You need to know what to offend and what to provoke. You can't afford to offend." Shang Ruoyi said in a low voice: "Greet."
Several guards surrounded the Zhang family.
How could the people brought by Mrs. Zhang be their opponents? The family members were knocked down at the first sight, and they did not attack the women. However, Zhang He was beaten badly, with bruises all over his face and no good spots on his body. Mrs. Zhang wanted to stop them, but she was thrown aside before she could step forward.
"Stop, stop fighting! Stop fighting!" Mrs. Zhang shouted, "I want to report to the police! I want to report to the police!"
Just then, footsteps were heard outside the door.
Qian Daji's voice came over.
"Let me see who wants to report to the police?"
As the door opened, Qian Jin walked in with a group of guards.
"What's going on?"
"Mrs.! Mrs.! Please do it!" Mrs. Zhang rushed over and said, "Mrs., you must do it for me! The Li family is lawless. They locked us up in this yard and ordered the guards to beat us in broad daylight! Look at my son's face and the injuries on his body. It's all because of her!" She pointed at Shang Ruoyi and said, "She ordered all of them to do it."
"Oh?" Qian Da's eyes fell on Zhang He, who was already lying on the ground. The pain on his body made him groan uncontrollably: "Ouch, ouch, it hurts so much!"
Tsk tsk tsk, this does seem a bit heavy.
Qian Da looked at Shang Ruoyi. Although he didn't smile, his eyes showed a hint of respect. "Dr. Lingjun, do you have anything to say in defense?"
"Sir, why are you asking her? The evidence is irrefutable, you should just punish her!" Zhang put her hands on her hips and pointed at the Li family members, "You should arrest this whole family and give them dozens of beatings. Let's see if they dare to be so arrogant again."
Qian Da's brows were furrowed. He finally understood why the Miracle Doctor Lingjun had attacked the Zhang family. Just looking at this woman's mouth, if it were him, he would probably want to slap her twice.
"Are you the boss or am I the boss? Will you judge this case or will I?" Boss Qian looked at her with disdain: "Who are you? How dare you be so arrogant in front of me?"
"I am a commoner, a commoner from the Zhang family." She pointed at Zhang He, who was still lying on the ground wailing, and said, "This is my son. He is a scholar!" Mrs. Zhang said proudly, "My son passed the examination to become a scholar when he was only 20 years old. Who knows, he may even serve as an official in the same court as you in the future!"
What the hell?
Scholar?
Passed the examination to become a scholar at the age of 20?
Qian Daji looked at Zhang He with disdain and laughed sarcastically: "Scholar? There are so many scholars in Beiling. Where can I meet Scholar Zhang or Scholar Wang?"
He was an official in the court and only passed the examination to become a scholar at the age of 20. With such qualifications, he still wanted to be an official in the court?
Even if he became an official in the court, he would probably have to wait for several decades, and he might even reach the age to retire and return home before he even became an official.
Qian Da's words made everyone around him laugh out loud.
"What are you laughing at?" Mrs. Zhang waved her hands like a shrew: "What's so funny?"
"Go stand aside and don't speak without my permission." Qian Da picked his ears. Zhang's voice was too sharp.
The next day, he placed the jade pendant in his hand.
"Is this the jade pendant that Zhang threw on the ground?"
"Yes." Shang Ruoyi said, "This jade pendant is a priceless warm jade. Now it was broken by Zhang, but she refuses to admit it."
Qian Da looked at the jade pendant and nodded: "It is indeed a very rare jade. What a pity, what a pity."
pity?
What's the pity?
If I could use this jade pendant to teach the Zhang family a lesson, it would not be a pity at all.
"This, this jade pendant was clearly broken because that little girl didn't hold it properly. Why is it my fault?" Zhang shouted loudly, "Slander! You are slandering me!"
Qian Dazhi frowned: "Did you fall on deaf ears when I said just now? Who allowed you to interrupt without my asking? Come on!" As soon as Qian Dazhi finished speaking, a guard stepped forward and slapped him in the face.
Zhang was beaten to the ground. The guards' strength was not comparable to that of a little girl like Shaoyao.
Zhang's face swelled up instantly, and even her ears started buzzing.
Shang Ruoyi snorted coldly: "Mrs. Zhang clearly said that her hand slipped and she didn't hold it firmly, so the warm jade broke. The door was open just now, and the neighbors were all witnesses. What, Mrs. Zhang still wants to deny it?"
“I, I…”
She swallowed and wanted to argue a little, but the burning pain on her face made her shut her mouth quickly.
"Since the warm jade was broken by the Zhang family, I order the Zhang family to pay compensation according to the price."
Hearing this, Zhang fell to her knees. She dared not say a word and pointed at her son on the ground.
Qian Daji frowned and said, "How could this scholar be beaten like this by your Li family?"
Upon hearing this, Zhang glared at the Li family members hatefully.
"good."
"Master, look! She admitted it! Please do it!" Zhang said loudly: "Master, please have mercy on my son!"
"Mr. Qian, we were the ones who beat him, we admit that, but actually it was Zhang He who deserved to be beaten." Shang Ruoyi pulled Li Xia Xia forward and said, "Mr. Qian, our Li family's legitimate daughter married him as a concubine, but the Zhang family was still not satisfied. They took in several concubines before the marriage, and now they even have children. Not only that, the original marriage between the two families was that our Li family's legitimate daughter should be the legitimate wife. Now that the Li family has fallen, they want to change the marriage contract and change the legitimate wife to a concubine. This is so unkind and unjust, shouldn't he be beaten?"
Seeing the sudden change in the faces of the Zhang family, she continued, "The Zhang family always talks about scholars. I really don't know how such a shameless person can set an example for the students."
Upon hearing this, Qian Daxiao nodded and said, "What the miracle doctor said is very true."
"Sir, Sir, you are innocent!"
At this moment, 그, who was watching the excitement outside the door, said: "How dare they cry out that they are innocent."
"A few days ago, the concubine was kneeling in front of the Zhang family's gate holding her child, saying that she wanted to bring the child back to her ancestral home."
"I saw it, too. The one crying was so pitiful! Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk."
Qian Daji frowned when he heard this: "With so many pieces of evidence, you still dare to lie!"
"Sir, I was just confused for a moment!" Zhang He said.
"So, you admit what you did?"
At this point, he wanted to deny it, but the concubine was crying in the street and so many people saw it. How could he dare to quibble?
"Humph, you really bring shame to the scholars!" Qian Da said angrily, "I will report your affairs to the academy truthfully, deprive you of your title of scholar, and you will never be allowed to take the imperial examinations or enter the government!"
