Tang Li knelt down, and Su Sanlang took a few steps forward, lifted his robe and knelt down.
Tang Li was the village chief, but Su Sanlang was a scholar with a great reputation! It was the emperor's grace not to kneel before an official. Li Sizhong quickly stepped forward to help Su Sanlang.
Su Sanlang held Li Sizhong's sleeve with his backhand and burst into tears: "Sir, my widowed mother of the Su family has endured all kinds of hardships by sticking to the same family. It's up to you to make the decision for the second sister to suffer such hardships. I, Su Shiming,
It is in vain that you are a seven-foot man who cannot be filial to your mother and cannot protect your sisters. Today, I beg you to severely punish the Tang family for being so careless about human life."
"Su Shiming! Get up!" Li Sizhong helped Su Sanlang up with both hands.
Su Sanlang stood up and sighed: "Sir, Su Shiming is not forcing you, but this matter cannot be mediated."
"Third brother." Su Yunniang didn't expect that the nerdy third brother would kneel down for her. He has fame and gold under his knees! He kneels down to Mingjun and his parents, but the third brother is willing to humiliate himself for her own sake. Her heart is broken.
.
Li Sizhong patted Su Sanlang's shoulder heavily and nodded.
Without even taking a seat, he stood in the courtyard of the Su family and said in a thunderous tone: "Tang Li! We have all the witnesses and physical evidence! What else do you have to say!"
"I, I..." Tang Li's face turned pale, knowing that today was over!
Li Sizhong's face darkened: "It's your Tang family who is taking people's lives for granted! It's your Tang family who gathered people to make trouble and hit the Su family's door! Under the bright sky! Who gave you the courage! Come on!"
"Yes!" The government officials responded in unison. Ordinary people had never seen this battle.
"Arrest them!" Li Sizhong ordered.
Can those people in the Tang family who are carrying sticks not be afraid when they see this battle? Some people are about to escape secretly.
Su Deyan waved his hand: "Arrest anyone who is not from Tangjiazhuang! Not everyone in Sujiazhuang dares to come and make trouble!"
It became lively now. The people of Sujiazhuang, men, women, old and young, all went into battle and surrounded the people from Tangjiazhuang. The yamen officials tied five or six straw ropes to each other. One yamen servant held the straw rope in front, and another yamen servant followed behind.
, a string of Tang family members were taken out of Sujiazhuang.
Tang Li was so frightened that he collapsed on the ground unable to move.
Tang Ma passed out before he could take a breath.
Li Sizhong ordered the government officials: "Go to Tangjiazhuang and arrest the suspects Tang Jiabao, Tang Cuiyun and Tang Cuifen!"
The officer took the order and left.
Li Sizhong then said to Su Sanlang: "Today I don't blame you for persecuting me because of your fame, but Su Shiming, since you have read the book of sages, you should repay your kindness and share your worries for the country!"
Su Sanlang bowed his head to the ground and said, "Yes, what you have learned from me is what Shi Ming will bear in mind."
By this time, no one asked whether Wu Lang and Liu Lang destroyed the Tang family. Li Sizhong looked back and saw that Su Yunniang had thrown herself into his old mother's arms, and cried out in grief.
Zheng Yue'e and others came over to support Su Yunniang. Mrs. Li held Su Yunniang's hand and said with tears in her eyes: "Zhong'er."
"Mother, my son is here." Li Sizhong, who still looked like an official at this moment, came to Mrs. Li respectfully.
Mrs. Li glanced at Su Yunniang: "I want to adopt Yunniang as my adopted daughter. From now on, Yunniang will be your adopted sister. I won't leave today. I will prepare everything when I go back and send it over."
Li Sizhong smiled: "Yes, congratulations to mother, my son will go back to prepare a meeting gift for his sister."
There are still people watching the fun outside. Who would have thought that the Su family would get into the hands of the county magistrate because of this matter?
As the village chief, Su Deyan definitely couldn't leave, so he stood by and didn't step forward.
Li Sizhong stood up to leave, and Su Deyan came up to meet him, clasping his fists: "Congratulations, sir."
Li Sizhong smiled: "Su Deyan, it's all thanks to you that the people in Sujiazhuang are united. I've made a note of this and will treat you to a drink later."
"I don't dare, I don't dare, I should." Su Deyan felt happy in his heart. Who wouldn't be happy to be praised by his immediate boss?
Chen Yu accompanied Mrs. Li into the house and took a seat, and then checked Su Yunniang's pulse. Outside, Zheng Yue'e and Li Xiuying hurriedly gathered Luo to eat and drink. Today's meal was unusual, and it had to be a banquet.
I'm too busy here to talk.
When Li Sizhong went back to the Yamen, those Tang family members who came to make trouble were given ten slaps on each of them before being released. The entire Tang family was taken to jail to await trial.
It's not that the case is complicated, but that Li Sizhong doesn't have time. He has to go back and prepare a meeting gift for his adopted sister.
In the Li Mansion, Li Sizhong's first wife fell ill and died three years ago. He also has two concubines, namely the Liu family and the Jin family. They had nothing to do. The original wife left behind a daughter and two sons. Their daughter, Li Yulian, is thirteen this year.
Years old, he does things properly at a young age. He is the child who was trained by Mrs. Li. However, she has been frail and sick since she was a child and rarely goes out. She is also the head of the household.
Li Sizhong wanted to open the warehouse, so he needed to say hello to Li Yulian.
In Yuelan Garden, Li Yulian leaned on the soft couch and checked the account books. Waiting beside her were two servants, an old man and a young man. The old woman's surname was Guo. Mother Guo was the lady's nanny, and she was the one who took care of Li Yulian since she was a child.
, Guo’s mother is the one who usually works around the house. The maid’s name is Xiu’er, she is sixteen years old.
"Girl, the master is here." Guo's mother said.
Li Yulian raised her eyes and saw Li Sizhong entering the door, and quickly stood up: "Is there something happy for father?"
"Yulian, change your clothes. Your grandmother has adopted an adopted daughter. Let's go over to give her gifts and recognize her as a relative." Li Sizhong said.
Li Yulian smiled: "Grandma must be interested in a good person. What kind of gift does father want to prepare? Let Mother Guo prepare it."
Li Sizhong ignored the affairs of the back house and nodded in agreement.
After Li Yulian personally poured tea for Li Sizhong, she took her maid Xiu'er into the house and changed into a light green dress. Outside, Mother Guo had already prepared gifts.
"Father, which family is my aunt's daughter from? What is her family background like? What are her hobbies?" Li Yulian asked.
Li Sizhong did not hide anything. He talked about the situation of the Su family and what happened to Su Yunniang.
Li Yulian understood that her grandmother was here because of Aunt Bao. She picked up a brush and wrote a gift list and handed it to Guo's mother: "If you go and prepare to come, Xiu'er doesn't need to go with you. It won't be appropriate if there are too many people. I and I
Father is enough."
The father and daughter sat in the carriage, filled with gifts, and headed to Sujiazhuang.
On the way, Li Yulian saw a few gray hairs on her father's temples, and sighed softly: "My father has worked very hard for this family, but the two aunts are not very successful. If you meet the person you like, you should renew your relationship early."
Seriously."
Li Sizhong's face turned red immediately: "No, Dong'er and Liang'er are still young, so we can't wrong you siblings."
Li Yulian didn't say anything else. It had been three years since her mother passed away, and Dong'er and Liang'er had just turned three. The family was not easy, and the two aunts did not have to worry about it. But having enough food and drink was a matter of no concern, and it was of no use.
It's not a fuel-efficient lamp. Everyone in the second uncle's and third uncle's families are looking at it eagerly.
When Li Yulian, who was full of worries, saw Su Yunniang, she stepped forward and called out warmly: "Aunt, Yulian wants to send you greetings."
Chen Yu next to her was stunned. The little girl is really not weak...
