To be precise, none of these things were his initiative. They were basically all done by Mrs. Zhang, but they were tacitly approved by him.
In fact, he was the one who added fuel to the flames, because he was the biggest beneficiary behind all these incidents.
But what he did over the years was still secretive. Even if Mrs. Zhang was careless when doing it, he would handle it secretly. He never thought that such a big deal would be left behind.
"Lin Dongshu, do you plead guilty?"
The county magistrate asked again. Lin Dongshu was silent for a moment and suddenly shouted: "Sir, the grassroots have been wronged. Your Excellency, you must make the decision for the grassroots! The grassroots really don't know these things! She framed me all, she
The business is better than mine, so naturally you can’t stand the existence of our Beauty Hall. The design is just to force me to close the door as soon as possible. Sir, please take this for granted!”
He kowtowed vigorously, just to let everyone see how wronged he was.
"You still have strong words despite a mountain of ironclad evidence! Thirty punishments with the rod!"
The county magistrate gave the order and everyone agreed.
Every piece of this evidence can be traced. These shops all existed in Shangli Town before, but later they closed their shops inexplicably and went to no one knows where.
I didn't expect that it was all because of the beauty hall's robbery. They robbed other people's formulas and smashed their shops. It's really hateful.
What's more important is that none of those bosses dared to file a complaint. This shows how powerful the Lin family is in Shangli Town. It was also this time that they were kicked against the iron plate and met Zhao Huanyu, so they dragged people to report to the government.
Show the evil deeds of the Lin family in front of everyone one by one.
Let everyone know what a vicious person this Lin Dongshu is.
The yamen servant came up and took Lin Dongshu down and beat him. Worried that he would disturb others by screaming, he pulled a smelly rag and blocked his mouth.
The government officials were also listening to the trial just now. They knew how bad this person was, and they were also angry in their hearts. When they beat him, they had personal emotions, and the force on their hands was heavier than usual.
Lin Dongshu gritted his teeth tightly in pain. In fact, as long as he admitted his crime, he could avoid this slap in the face, but he couldn't, because once he admitted it, he would never be able to escape in his life.
Even when he was gagged, he kept saying "I was wronged" from his throat, which made many people wonder whether he was really wronged.
By the time he was dragged up after being beaten like a dead dog, many people were already quietly defending him.
He knew that he was right in his bet. As long as he refused to admit it, he would still have a chance to make a comeback. As for Zhao Huanyu, there would be plenty of opportunities to deal with her in the future!
But the county magistrate obviously couldn't let him go so easily, so he said: "It doesn't matter if you don't plead guilty now. You can temporarily put him in jail until I send someone to collect the owners of these shops mentioned in the evidence and interrogate them separately. If you tell
If the matter is close to ten, then you will still be convicted even if you don’t admit it.”
The county magistrate obviously did not want to give in, but wanted to use evidence to speak for itself. Everyone present was once again convinced of the county magistrate.
Lin Dongshu was taken away like this, and the county magistrate turned his attention to the other kneeling people.
Several gangsters hurriedly spoke: "Sir, everything we said is true. We have indeed done a lot of immoral things for the Beauty Hall in recent years, but we did not seek money or kill people. We were just thieves who stole some things, and even
Please give me a lighter punishment!"
The county magistrate said: "We will find out the truth. If what you said is indeed true, we will be dealt with lightly."
This is stipulated by the law of this dynasty, and there is nothing wrong with the county magistrate saying so.
Seeing this, several women who followed Mrs. Zhang to watch the excitement also rebelled. In order to reduce the punishment, they told her everything as if they were dumping the beans on her.
"Sir, we just followed Mrs. Zhang's instructions. We didn't participate in anything that happened before. It's just that Mrs. Zhang took us to the entrance of Yuzhi Pavilion this morning to watch the fun and asked us to act in a play with her! Our original shopkeeper took leave and went home.
Yes, Mrs. Zhang has always said that she will definitely become the next shopkeeper, and she will also be respected by the boss. We dare not disobey her orders!"
In this regard, Mrs. Zhang is quite smart. When she was doing things before, she only arranged for the boy Wang Xiaotian to inform these people, because she was worried that it would be bad if the people in the shop knew too much. But she suddenly called them this morning, mainly because of the big reason.
There was no one on the street early in the morning, so she recruited people to make up the numbers. Unexpectedly, these spineless people betrayed her before anything happened.
But she couldn't say anything yet, because it was indeed the case. Not only these few, but also the other boys in the store knew that she didn't avoid anyone when she was shouting in the store this morning.
In the final analysis, she underestimated the enemy. She thought that such a little girl could not make any waves, but she didn't expect that she would dare to report to the police and find so much evidence. Even her boss was beaten, and she could escape.
Where to go?
After thinking about it, she laughed loudly and said with a crazy smile: "I did it, I did all of this!"
She admitted it straight away, her back straight.
"Whether it was the previous shops or the Yuzhi Pavilion this time, they were all made by me. Our boss is just an idle shopkeeper. He doesn't know anything! It's because I'm crazy and always want to be the shopkeeper, so I think of ways to steal business.
, I want my employer to see my ability!"
Everyone was in an uproar. They didn't expect the result to be like this. No wonder Lin Dongshu was beaten so badly just now and kept saying that he was wronged. It turned out that he was really wronged.
Zhao Huanyu glanced at Mrs. Zhang in surprise. She didn't expect that she would put all the blame on herself. She had been observing Mrs. Zhang and Lin Dongshu and found that there was no interaction between them. Then why did Mrs. Zhang help Lin Dongshu?
Where are the books?
Is it possible that Lin Dongshu has some leverage?
Or, her family?
The county magistrate did not expect that she would come out like this. Everyone knew that Lin Dongshu must be responsible for something that he could not shirk, but if Mrs. Zhang fully recognized it, Lin Dongshu could really be acquitted. At most, he would be acquitted.
An oral education.
This is too cheap for him!
But the fact is that even the county magistrate can't do anything to him.
The county magistrate was a little embarrassed and asked again: "Ms. Zhang, do you really want to plead guilty?"
Mrs. Zhang nodded vigorously: "The civilian woman pleads guilty! Please let us go, sir. Our boss is a good person..."
Zhao Huanyu sneered and said: "It's strange. If you are so protective of the master, it means that your boss treats you well. Then you have done so many things for him over the years, but why have you never become the shopkeeper? The competition in your beauty hall is so fierce.
Of?"
Mrs. Zhang was a little panicked when she saw it, but she quickly calmed down and said: "My boss said that I am too old and illiterate, so they never let me be the shopkeeper!"
