He just watched silently, and after making sure that Jian Xiu was fine, he left quietly.
"Boss, won't you wait for Miss Jian for a while?" The servant Rong Yi couldn't help asking.
His boss had previously told him to go to Zhangjia Village, but when he got there and asked, he found out that Jian Xiu had already come to the county town a long time ago.
And it was because she wanted to sue her mother-in-law.
After further questioning, he walked to the gate of the yamen, wanting to see if there was anything he could help with.
Originally, he thought that Master Jian would help her, but he didn't expect that Miss Jian would turn defeat into victory herself.
In court.
At this time, Old Liu was already sitting there with a pale face, motionless.
The voices that had previously blamed Jian Xiu now turned around and started blaming them.
But they had no way to refute it.
Because they all knew that Jian Xiu was telling the truth.
"No matter what, he was raised by me. I carried him for ten months and gave birth to him. He is just a piece of flesh and blood that fell from my body. How could he treat him like this?" Old Liu struggled in her dying breath.
However, it would have been better if Mrs. Liu hadn't said this.
As soon as Jian Xiu said this, before she even opened her mouth, the villagers at the door started pointing at her.
"How dare you say you carried him for ten months? If this child really was your flesh and blood, would you be willing to treat him like this?"
"That's right, look at her, she is a vicious woman. To be honest, people like her should be punished."
"She deserves to be imprisoned. People risked their lives to catch wild boars, and she had the nerve to snatch them. This has broken off the marriage. If you have the ability, then go and rob someone else's. If you have the ability, then snatch it from someone else."
"No, he only bullies these kind people. What kind of future can such a person have?"
“.......”
The discussions behind me were growing louder and louder.
Even Old Man Zhang wanted to dig a hole and crawl into it after hearing this.
At this time, Zhang Zirong and Fang Miaojuan no longer dared to speak.
Originally, they were not the masterminds of this incident, and they did not hurt anyone.
Finally, it was not them who suggested going to the end of the village to steal things.
Therefore, it seems that there is really no need for them to get involved in this mess.
At this point, Mo Shanrui had already made a decision in his mind.
Thinking of this, Mo Shanrui slapped the gavel in his hand again, and then said to Old Liu:
"Let me ask you, is what Jian Xiu said just now true?"
"Sir, this..."
"You just need to answer me whether it is true or not!" Mo Shanrui once again interrupted Old Liu's attempt to quibble.
"I don't know what she is referring to?" Old Liu pretended to be confused.
Hearing this, Mo Shanrui slammed the gavel again, and then asked, "Did you break up the relationship?"
"Yes...but..."
"Did you go to the end of the village to steal their things?" Mo Shanrui interrupted her again and asked.
"Sir, this is not stealing, it's taking. She is being filial..."
"You just need to answer my questions!" Mo Shanrui had completely lost his patience.
As he said this, he slammed the gavel in his hand hard.
At this moment, the entire court fell silent.
Old Liu nodded fearfully and replied, "Yes...I went!"
"So did she take the food and birthing needles from their house and mess up her room?"
"놖..."
"speak!"
"Yes, it's a little messed up!"
"Have all those things been returned?" Mo Shanrui asked again.
Hearing this, Old Liu subconsciously looked at Old Man Zhang.
She really didn't know whether it had been returned or not.
Seeing this, everyone turned their eyes to Old Man Zhang.
Even Jian Xiu looked at him with a half-smile, and the look of waiting for a good show was clearly shown on her face.
Old Man Zhang: “….”
He wanted to make some excuses, but after seeing everyone's gaze, he had to bite the bullet and said, "I've already paid back half of it."
"Why only return half?" Mo Shanrui asked again.
"I'll return the remaining half when I go back later!" Old man Zhang said quickly.
After he finished speaking, there was a loud murmur at the door.
Without exception, they all accused Old Man Zhang of trying to embezzle Jian Xiu's wild boar meat.
Seeing this, Zhang Zirong on the side immediately shouted at everyone: "What does this have to do with you? Why do you have to keep your mouth shut?"
"Hey, it's bad enough that he stole someone's things, but he's still so stubborn. This kind of person should be arrested and put in jail for ten or eight years..."
Sure enough, upon hearing this, Zhang Zirong suddenly became panicked.
He stiffened his neck and said, "Why did you arrest me? I'm alone. I stole things because my mother told me to..."
Having said this, Zhang Zirong suddenly realized that he had said the wrong thing.
So he quickly covered his mouth, pretending to be silent.
Seeing this, Mo Shanrui in the hall asked Zhang Zihua again: "Do you know your mistake?"
"Sir, it's unfair. I didn't..."
"How have I wronged you? If you confess honestly, I may be able to give you a lighter sentence. Otherwise..."
Mo Shanrui didn't say anything else, but his expression made it clear.
Seeing this, Zhang Zihua dared not hide anything anymore, so he told him everything that happened that day.
"But my Lord, you are wise. Although you attacked hard, isn't Zhang Zixuan still alive and well? And... and Jian Xiu has already fought back against you. This... this..."
As soon as these words came out, there was a gasp from the crowd.
"So what he means is that he has to kill the person to be considered as a heavy blow?"
"People like this should be beheaded..."
“.......”
After hearing the words behind him, Zhang Zihua realized that he had said the wrong thing.
"Zhang Zihua, do you know what crime you have committed?" Mo Shanrui spoke again.
Sure enough, when Zhang Zihua heard Mo Shanrui's words, he turned pale with fright.
"My lord... please spare my life, my lord, I will never dare to do it again next time, please spare my life..."
Zhang Zihua pleaded desperately towards Mo Shanrui.
"Don't worry, I will spare your life!" Mo Shanrui said calmly.
His crime did not deserve the death penalty in the first place, so why should we talk about whether to forgive him or not?
Sure enough, upon hearing this, Zhang Zihua immediately became excited.
At the same time, he glanced proudly in Jian Xiu's direction.
