Chapter 229 No Evidence
If you tell lies too many times, they seem to become true.
Amidst his angry and heart-wrenching accusations, Uncle Liang even had the illusion that the facts were just as he said, which made him angrier and more excited as he spoke.
Master Shao: “.”
So much so that Master Shao was a little skeptical.
If Master Shao had not had several interactions and conversations with Xu Zhichun, and if Xu Zhichun did not seem like that kind of person, he would have believed it.
"Alright, no matter how much you say, it's useless. The government only recognizes the first person to report. It's recorded and cannot be changed."
"But this was clearly discovered by me!"
"Do you have any evidence?"
"I don't have any!"
Uncle Liang remained calm, "I never thought that Xu would do this. I don't have any evidence, but I feel really wronged."
Master Shao suddenly understood something. Even without any evidence, he could still speak so confidently and confidently. Doesn't that mean he is sure that Madam Xu has no evidence to refute him either?
Master Shao saw through Uncle Liang in an instant and thought that this man was ridiculous.
Even if what he said was true, so what? It was Madam Xu who worked hard on this matter, and it was also Madam Xu who reported it to the adults.
It is hard to say that Madam Xu could get these sweet potatoes and potatoes, as others could not. However, it was only Madam Xu who presented them to the court and promoted them. No matter how you look at it, the credit belongs to Madam Xu.
It's rare to find someone who cares.
"These are all your one-sided words."
These words were like a sharp sword piercing Uncle Liang's heart, instantly breaking his superficial anger.
Uncle Liang's ears turned red, and he suppressed his shame and anger and said stubbornly: "Master Shao, I told you the truth. I really didn't lie."
Master Shao: "Without evidence, it's just one side of the story. No one can tell whether it's true or false."
"But--"
"If everyone goes to the yamen and makes a scene, does that mean everyone will have to see the Lord and believe him?"
Uncle Liang was speechless
It was fake from the beginning, relying solely on shameless singing, reciting, acting and fighting. However, even this did not earn him any sympathy or recognition. Uncle Liang had no chance of showing off.
Uncle Liang tried his best to contribute his final peak acting skills, his voice trembling, his face full of pain: "Master Shao, is this matter, is it possible that we are just going to let it go like this?"
"If you have evidence, you are welcome to come back anytime."
"I don't have any!"
Uncle Liang shook his head in pain, and took Master Shao's words as a stepping stone, and said, "Forget it, forget it, it's my bad luck! Without evidence, what else can I do?"
Uncle Liang smiled bitterly in despair and said goodbye to Master Shao.
Shao Shiye frowned slightly, stopped him, and calmly warned him: "If you don't have evidence, it's slander and spreading rumors. If it causes harm to others, you will be punished."
This person looks unwilling, and who knows what nonsense he will say after leaving the yamen.
Madam Xu is a person commended by the Lord and has made contributions to the court. The court's reward will come soon.
There must be no stain on her.
It would be fine if she really had a bad record, but it is unacceptable for people to spread rumors and slander her.
Uncle Liang was almost mad, his face twisted a little, and he smiled bitterly: "Master, don't worry, I'm not that kind of person. After all, Xu is my niece-in-law, how could I possibly harm her?"
The beautiful dream was shattered, the glory that was right at his fingertips vanished in an instant, and he had to shamefully perform a show of singing, reciting, acting and fighting in front of Master Shao - even though only he himself knew how embarrassing it was, how could Uncle Liang not be furious?
How come I wasn’t hot after meeting Xu Zhichun last night?
Xu Zhichun just felt lucky.
fortunately
Otherwise, she would be the one who got furious because she had no evidence to defend herself.
Sweet potatoes and potatoes also spread throughout the city. Many people would ask about them when they came to the stalls to buy things, wanting to see them. However, Xu Zhichun and his men did not bring any, so when asked, they would just give vague answers by saying that they were from the government.
Some people were curious and wanted to buy some to try, and they said they were willing to pay a high price, ten or twenty cents per pound was no problem.
If you are not satisfied with the price, you can negotiate it.
After all, this was something that Lord Lu personally went to the countryside with County Magistrate Zhao and Lawyer Shao to harvest. Needless to say, it must be a good thing!
Who doesn’t have a little curiosity?
If you taste it, you gain it!
Nothing can compare to the sense of psychological superiority.
Furthermore, this is also a temptation.
If Xu Zhichun and his men were to relax, they could sell one or two kilograms, three or four kilograms, or even three hundred or four hundred kilograms.
Who wouldn’t want to plant one?
Once everything falls into Lord Lu's hands, it will not be their turn.
Xu Zhichun had some idea that once this door was opened, the consequences would be unpredictable.
Therefore, we must guard against it with all our might.
Seeing their firm attitude, everyone will naturally give up soon.
Although it is a bit regrettable that the money that flew into my hands flew away again, it doesn’t matter. Good things are better left rotting in my hands.
I'm afraid Lord Lu is even more anxious than them, and there will be news soon.
Zeng Xiaoyan and Aunt Zhu'er's families are also overwhelmed. It is too difficult to deal with all the relatives and friends. They are all eagerly looking forward to the matter being settled as soon as possible.
Listening to Xu Zhichun's words, I felt a little relieved.
After closing the stall and going home, everyone was still chatting and discussing about digging konjac and making konjac tofu.
Zeng Xiaoyan joked, "There are always all kinds of relatives coming to our house. I've never even met them before. I don't know how so many people suddenly showed up. I would rather go out to work than stay at home. It's so uncomfortable. Dad and Mom both told me not to talk nonsense and to be friendly to relatives and friends. Some people say things that clearly make people angry. How can I be friendly? It's so uncomfortable."
Liang Mingliang felt the same way and nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, I feel the same way!"
Zeng Xiaoyan teased her husband: "It's really rare, one day you will prefer to work rather than stay at home, hahaha!"
Xu Zhichun and Aunt Zhu'er couldn't help laughing either.
"By the way," Aunt Zhu'er couldn't help but ask Zeng Xiaoyan curiously, "The Zeng family didn't come looking for us this time, did they?"
The few of them were very familiar with each other, so Aunt Zhu'er's words were not offensive. Zeng Xiaoyan sneered slightly: "Maybe they are still struggling with how to find her. I don't think they will let my sister go."
The news of her breaking off relations with the Zeng family became a hot topic because of Zeng Mingzhu's complaint to the authorities. The Zeng family lost face and they would not come to her again.
But they would not fail to look for her sister.
With such huge benefits in front of them, who wouldn't want it? It would be strange if the Zeng family didn't want it.
Xu Zhichun couldn't help but remind him: "Let's all be careful and don't let Aunt Xiaojuan suffer any loss."
Zeng Xiaoyan nodded: "I told my sister that if the Zeng family wants to find her, they must tell me. But now that she has a brother-in-law, he will protect her, which is better than before."
This name is confusing.
There was no other way, they could only call each other what they wanted. It would be impolite if Xu Zhichun didn't call her "Auntie", and it would have to be changed even though it was awkward.
It’s no wonder that Uncle Yang Ming and Xiao An treat Zeng Xiaojuan and her daughter very well. The villagers who found out about this later also praised this marriage as the best one!
A mule cart blocked the way, the curtain opened, revealing Cuiqiao's face.
