Chapter 23
If you fail to steal the chicken, you will lose the rice.
Li Manguan was dragged out to hit the boards. The county master sitting in the hall smiled and said: "Ms. Qin, I am the most fair and honest official. When these twenty boards come down, I don't have to worry about him not telling the truth."
Qin Zhiyi also felt a little flattered. After they came in, the county master had never been so nice.
It seems that after Fei Chengsheng repeatedly asked him if there was any problem with the IOU, the county master's attitude changed 180 degrees.
Could it be that the county boss was afraid of him, so he tried the case seriously?
Thinking of this, Qin Zhiyi looked at Fei Chengsheng again.
The man was standing next to her. He was a head taller than her. Standing next to him, she looked like a dwarf.
Although she couldn't see any clues for the time being, it was clear that it must be related to this man.
So she said: "Thank you, sir."
Soon, the previous calm returned to the court.
Only the sound of Li Manguan being slapped with a board rang in his ears.
After the twenty-big board was hit, Li Manguan was dragged in and half of his life was gone.
Just looking at the bloody lower body, Qin Zhiyi was also frightened.
The magistrate in the hall was shocked again: "Li Manguan, if you think about it carefully, did you forge this IOU?"
Li Manguan raised his head with difficulty and looked at the county master in the hall.
Does he dare to say it's not the case? If he says it's not the case, I'm afraid he will be dragged out to play twenty games, and by then he will really lose his life.
"Yes, I forged it."
"Why did you forge an IOU to frame a poor woman?"
Li Manguan said weakly: "I, I thought I could blackmail her in the future. After all, she has several brothers who are good at hunting."
"Who would have thought that her brother actually hunted a bear, and a bear skin cost a thousand taels of silver... If I take out the IOU now, she will definitely not be able to repay it. If I want her to use the bear skin to pay off the debt, I can earn a thousand taels of silver.
…”
Li Manguan burst into tears at the end.
"Sir, Mr. Qingtian, the common people have realized their mistake. The common people will never dare to do it again..."
Fei Chengsheng came close to her at this time and whispered: "These twenty big boards are enough to kill him for half his life. If he goes back for treatment, he will be disabled. If another twenty big boards come, he will die."
Hearing this, Qin Zhiyi blinked.
What does this man mean when he says this?
At this moment, Fei Chengsheng was waiting for Qin Zhiyi's reply, but the county magistrate was waiting for Fei Chengsheng's instructions.
In fact, she never thought that such a thing would happen. Now that the matter has been settled, Li Manguan has also received the punishment he deserves...
She was just a woman who came into this world and just wanted to live a good life with her two children.
Not afraid of trouble, and don't want to cause trouble.
So she said: "It all depends on the adults."
Fei Chengsheng looked at the county magistrate and nodded slightly.
The county magistrate breathed a sigh of relief and immediately said: "If you frame someone falsely, you will be exempted from the death penalty, but you will not be able to escape the crime of living. According to the laws of Dali State, you will be fined fifty taels of silver and imprisoned for three months."
After saying that, he looked at Fei Chengsheng again, feeling uneasy inside.
I even thought about it more than once. He was sentenced according to the laws of Dali, so there shouldn't be a big problem.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but wipe the cold sweat on his forehead.
Fei Chengsheng nodded slightly, then he dared to wave his hand and said: "Bring him down quickly."
Little did Li Manguan know that he would end up stealing the chicken but losing the rice instead. Before he could complain, he had already been dragged away.
The county magistrate looked at the IOU and said directly: "Since this IOU is fake, then I...tear it up?"
After the county magistrate finished speaking, he looked at Fei Chengsheng again. Fei Chengsheng no longer looked at him at this time.
The county magistrate was embarrassed for a while, and finally waved his hand and ordered the master to burn it.
This case has finally come to an end.
As for Li Manguan, he has already paid the price of his legs.
Qin Zhiyi knew that they would never dare to provoke her again.
But facing this burly man, she had many doubts.
Qin Zhiyi and his party returned to Qinjiazhuang.
When Li Qian learned that Li Manguan failed to blackmail someone, he was beaten twenty times and put in jail. He didn't even have time to drink tea, so he threw away the tea bowl and hurried to the Yamen.
After much talk, she was finally given a chance to meet Li Manguan.
When Li Qianshi saw Li Manguan lying on the ground, his legs were stained red with blood, unable to move, he almost fainted.
She cried and begged the official beside her: "My lord, please do me a favor and be accommodating. Let me hire a doctor to treat my old man. His old bones have been beaten twenty times. If you don't ask,
A doctor will give him a treatment, I'm afraid he won't survive for a few days..."
Several officials didn't want the prisoner to die in the cell like this, and Li Qian stuffed a few pieces of silver into their hands, and finally said: "That's it, go back quickly and don't make any noise."
Li Qianshi responded and hurried out to find the doctor.
When the doctor arrived, he took the medicine box and ointment to set the bones and heal the injuries.
After Li Manguan told her the whole story, Li Qianshi immediately started to curse.
"Damn it, isn't this just a loser? She specializes in causing harm to people! If you ask me, I shouldn't have let her go in the first place. Someone like her who doesn't follow the rules of a woman should follow the rules of the Li family and go straight to the pig cage!"
When Li Manchong heard what Li Qianshi said, he ignored the pain in his leg and only scolded her for being confused.
"Although that woman was sold into our home, she can speak eloquently. Besides, you can catch thieves and take the stolen goods, catch the rapists and take the two, so you want to dip her into a pig cage with just one mouth? Also, do you think he has a house in his house?
Are those three brothers and ten cousins over there vegetarians?"
At this point, Li Manguan coughed a few times: "Those are reckless hunters who often go to the mountains to hunt. They are vulgar and unreasonable. Rabbits will bite people when they are anxious, let alone if they are cornered."
As soon as Li Qian heard this, she stopped talking and just muttered: "What should we do? Can you swallow this bad breath?"
Li Manguan squinted his eyes slightly and sighed: "The days are long!"
Something happened to Li Manguan, and Li Mancang was so happy that he asked people to inquire about it several times.
You must know that if Li Manguan dies, his prodigal son will lose his family fortune in a few days.
At that time, he only needs to make some small plans, and not all the Li family's property will be his.
But after asking around, I heard that Li Manguan only broke both legs and was not seriously injured, so I couldn't help but feel a little sorry.
Mrs. Li Wu saw her man sighing, and while beating his back, she said: "Why are you so anxious? The boss is still in the cell now. We also sent people to inquire and found that he wants to lock her up for three months. This
Three months later, are you still worried that you can’t defeat him?”
When Li Mancang heard this, he was already stroking his beard and starting to make calculations.
"You are right. In these three months, we can slowly plan."
