Chapter 144 Bai Shunli
He used to be as timid as a mouse, but now he dares to ride in a carriage knowing that there are ghosts. This is a huge progress!
The middle-aged woman thought, the young master's family are all there, and she, as the host, would be too timid to go up.
What if the little master and his family don't want to go, or run away halfway? She has to keep a close eye on them.
He gritted his teeth and got on the carriage.
When I got on the car, my legs were shaking constantly.
The young man who was trying to catch the car in front was also very panicked. Then he thought, there were three women in the car, and they dared to do it. He was a strong young man with full of masculinity, and he was outside, trying to catch the car under the scorching sun. Why should he be scared?
At worst, if the ghost causes trouble, he can just jump out of the car.
So, except for Xiao Yuanbao, everyone else had an ideological struggle before getting on the carriage.
The group hurried into the yamen.
The official clerk shouted the notice without reservation, and the neighbors all heard it.
Knowing that they were driving out in a carriage, they must be going to the government office.
They all went quietly to the government office to watch what was going on.
Some came purely to watch the fun, some to show concern for each other as neighbors, in short, anyone with nothing to do went along.
***
The entrance of Baili Town Yamen.
A lot of people gathered around.
Early in the morning, the two victims arrived and started beating drums to protest their grievances and submit complaints, demanding that Bai Shunli, the manager of Shunli Car Dealership, be severely punished and that justice be done to them.
The chief clerk prepared to go to court urgently to interrogate Bai Shunli.
When Xiao Yuanbao and the others arrived, the yamen was already filled with people kneeling on the ground.
Kneel in three positions.
The two victims, one with his arm in a sling and the other in a wheelchair, were accompanied by their family members and each knelt in a place.
The only person lying there alone was Bai Shunli, the owner of Shunli Car Dealership.
His leg was also broken and in a cast, so he couldn't kneel and could only lie on the ground.
It was winter, and there was a straw mat on the ground, so he lay on it.
Bai Shunli is a tough guy with a square face and a strong build. Even though his leg was broken, he gritted his teeth and didn't make a sound.
The middle-aged woman and the young man hurried over to his side and knelt down.
The middle-aged woman said with tears in her eyes, "Boss, how have you been these past two days? Has the doctor come into the cell to treat your leg? It's only been two days, and you've become so skinny that you're almost unrecognizable. Boss, why is your life so miserable?"
Bai Shunli, a tough guy who didn't even groan in pain, had his eyes reddened when he saw his wife's tears.
"I'm fine. Have you raised the money?"
The young man glanced in the direction of Xiao Yuanbao and the others and said in a complicated tone, "Master, we haven't raised the money yet, but things have taken a turn for the better..."
It’s hard to say in public like this.
He leaned close to Bai Shunli's ear and told him the general outline of what had happened.
Bai Shunli was immediately excited.
Little Yuanbao was held in Cai's arms, squeezed into the crowd watching the excitement outside, and was just leaning his head to look inside.
Meeting Bai Shunli's passionate gaze...
Xiao Yuanbao blinked his big eyes at him and gave him a cheering gesture.
Bai Shunli is a grown man, and his eyes instantly turned red.
He retracted his gaze, "Good disciple..."
The middle-aged woman hugged her husband and cried.
At this time,
Both victims cursed Bai Shunli loudly.
"Shunli Carriage Company deliberately used a broken carriage to pick up passengers, causing my son's arm to be broken. From then on, he can't hold a pen to write. My son is a scholar, and our whole family is looking forward to him bringing honor to the family. Now, all is lost. Such despicable behavior cannot be solved by just paying money. Bai Shunli must be sent to prison to quell our anger!"
"That's right. They knew the carriage was broken, but they didn't check it after an accident. Our boss broke his leg. We are a family of more than ten people, young and old, who all depend on him for support. But now he is disabled and has a broken leg. We will all starve to death in the future. It's all because of that damn old dog Shunli Car Shop!"
"Bai Shunli, don't think that you can give up the responsibility just because you were injured. Even if you sell the car, you can't compensate us for our losses. You must go to jail and spend the rest of your life in jail! That's justice for us!"
…
As he was cursing, a group of officials walked out from the back of the court.
The chief clerk sat in the middle, and several masters sat on both sides not far away.
Other yamen runners holding sticks stood on both sides.
At the opening ceremony, as soon as the word "mighty" was shouted, everyone fell silent.
Inside and outside.
The people in the hall were so angry that they dared not say a word.
Just wait for the chief clerk to knock on the wooden stick and ask questions.
This case has been reviewed once before. All the necessary questions have been asked and all the necessary procedures have been completed. The chief clerk is familiar with the cause and course of the matter and knows all the people involved.
"What do the victims want today as they beat the drum to protest their grievances?"
"In reply to the Chief Clerk, my son's arm has been disabled after repeated diagnosis by the doctor. He can no longer hold a pen and write. My son was a student with the potential to be a scholar, but his future has been ruined. Only one young man from Shunli Car Shop came to visit us with some fruit. We are so angry. My son is lucky. If it was someone with a bad luck, he would have died. I beg the Chief Clerk to make a decision for us and severely punish the culprit of Shunli Car Shop!"
"It's the same for us. Our boss's legs are broken. We, a family of more than ten people, are all going to have to starve. Shunli Car Dealership only sent a clerk to take a look. They are not sincere at all. They simply don't care about the safety of the residents of Baili Town!"
"Shunli Car Dealership endangers the safety of the people in Baili Town. I hope the officials will take care of it for us."
…
The young man from Bai Shunli hurriedly explained, "My master broke his leg and has been arrested. I am the only one left in our car dealership. My master asked me to visit you. It is also our sincerity. As for the compensation, we will pay as much as the officials decide. We have never thought of resisting..."
The two victims were furious, "You are talking nonsense! What do you mean by waiting for the judge? Shouldn't your car dealership prepay some of the cost of the herbs? Let us go and treat him in time. Why is there no one in your car dealership? Isn't there still the boss lady? Isn't the boss lady a human being? Who can a young man like you represent?"
"They are just insincere, deliberately hurting people, and don't want to take responsibility. This kind of car dealership should be closed as soon as possible!"
The middle-aged woman hid behind Bai Shunli, shedding tears. Facing so many people's accusations, she couldn't utter a word. Apart from shedding tears, she was almost fainting.
This is not the kind of person who can handle things.
Too weak.
The Cai family members in the crowd all looked at him and shook their heads.
This Mrs. Bai is even worse than her.
Of course, it is also possible that Mrs. Bai has always been too well protected by her husband and has never experienced the dangers of the world, so she couldn't withstand the trouble. In a sense, she is a lucky woman.
