"Sir, do you want to bring Li Dacai here? He spoke very sincerely. I think he really has something to say." The officer continued.
"I just want to use money to talk. Go back and tell him that we don't have such rules. If you have anything to say, say it in court." Mu Qianyu was not moved at all.
"Yes." The Yamen servant had no choice but to retreat.
Mrs. Liu was quite surprised when she looked at Mu Qianyu again. She had never seen an official who was so disrespectful to the squire.
Po Wen came very quickly and took Mrs. Liu to the small room. Po Wen came out a moment later with a look of unbearable expression on her face.
Mrs. Liu seemed to have thought of something sad and was still wiping her tears with her hand.
Po Wen followed the clerk to fill out the inspection form, but Mrs. Liu stayed in the back hall for a short time.
"Sister, you still don't trust me?" Mu Qianyu looked at her and said again: "Sister, think about it, this may be your only chance to change your life. If you back down, you will have to bear this all the time."
When Mrs. Liu heard this, she knelt on the ground with a bang and cried: "It's not that the women of the people don't believe in you. The women of the people can see that you are a good official.
But what's the use of sending me home? The Li family's wealth is so great that my husband and I will definitely not have a good life."
"Worried about this?" Mu Qianyu motioned to Lan'er to help him up, and then said: "You trust me, so tell the truth to the court and leave the rest to me."
When he came to the court again, Li Dacai was already a little uneasy. Because Mu Qianyu didn't see him, he began to feel unsure.
People outside were all excited and wanted to know how this case would be judged.
Mu Qianyu sat down firmly and said in shock: "Po Wen, tell me the results of your injury test."
"There are about seventy or eighty injuries, large and small, on Mrs. Liu's body, most of which are whip marks and a few bruises. The oldest injury was about half a month ago, and the latest injury was left yesterday." Po Wen said.
She had never met Li Dacai before, and she was telling the truth now.
"hiss……"
As soon as these words came out, the people outside who were listening to the trial took a deep breath and looked unbearable. What a hardship this must be.
Niu Er burst into tears of distress and said angrily: "Li Dacai, you are just a beast. Mr. Futai, you have to make the decision for our couple."
"Don't roar in court." Mu Qianyu stopped him and looked at Li Dacai, then asked slowly: "Li Xiucai, what do you think of this hurt?"
"This is the boudoir pleasure between my wife and I. You agree with me and don't break the law." Li Dacai replied very calmly.
As long as Mr. Liu does not change his testimony, it would be reasonable for him to break a leg of the person.
"It's okay to be willing," Mu Qianyu said, looking at Mrs. Liu with encouraging eyes: "Mrs. Liu, is that so?"
Li Dacai looked threatening.
"No, my lord, the women are not willing to be beaten by him." Ms. Liu suddenly raised her head and said loudly:
"It was Li Dacai who robbed and forced the civilian woman to be his concubine. He also tortured the civilian woman all the time. He also threatened the civilian woman to stay with the life of Brother Niu. My lord, the civilian woman was wronged."
As soon as these words came out, everyone inside and outside the court fell silent. Maybe they didn't expect that this angry little daughter-in-law would have the courage to burst out suddenly.
"Sir, it was this bitch who slandered the students." Li Dacai's expression changed and he immediately grabbed the advantage.
Mu Qianyu slapped the crowd hard and yelled: "Who allowed you to speak? Did I ask you a question?"
Li Dacai was attracted by the strong aura and couldn't help but lower his head and wink at Wei Zhong and Lu Yijiang.
These two have taken advantage of him a lot in the past.
But Wei Zhong and Lu Yijiang didn't dare to talk to him at this moment, pretending not to see.
"Li Dacai, Niu Er and Liu accused you of robbing women and injuring them to death. What's your explanation?" Mu Qianyu spoke again, his voice no longer polite.
"Master Futai, this is all because they slandered the student. The student admitted that he beat her, but he never did anything else." Li Dacai denied it one after another.
Mu Qianyu narrowed his eyes, looked at Niu Er and the two of them and said, "Do you have any evidence?"
Niu Er said with an ugly face: "No... no... but just..."
"Okay, I will start to investigate this matter." Mu Qianyu said and asked Mrs. Liu: "Ms. Liu, I want to ask you, do you want to stay with Li Dacai, or continue to live with Niu Er."
"A civilian woman... A civilian woman is willing to follow Brother Niu..." Ms. Liu said quickly.
"Okay, then I will allow you to reconcile with Li Dacai and marry Niu Er." After saying this, Mu Qianyu looked at Li Dacai and said, "Does Li Xiucai have any objections to our decision?"
According to Daxuan law, as long as one of the spouses wishes to reconcile, the government must immediately approve it.
When Niu Er and Liu heard this, they cried with joy. The people watching outside were also surprised and pleasantly surprised. An upright official who served the people really came to Anping Mansion.
What's even more rare is that this upright official is capable. He has punished the bandits and then punished the bullies. In this way, the people will not have to worry about not having a good life.
The people decided to go home, eat dumplings, set off two firecrackers, and celebrate the day as if it were the Chinese New Year.
Niu Er and Liu hugged each other in the hall, crying as if they wanted to pour out their infinite grievances today.
Li Dacai naturally knew the law, but he didn't want to let Mrs. Liu off, so he smiled and said: "Master Futai, there is indeed an inside story about this matter. Can the student report it alone?"
The meaning of these words was obvious, but at this moment, not only did the people believe that Mu Qianyu would not be accommodating, but even Wei Zhong and Lu Yijiang were sure that Li Dacai would be rejected.
"Is it such a secret?" Mu Qianyu said with interest on his face when he heard this: "Okay, I will make an exception. You come with me to the back hall."
"..." Everyone.
They now wonder if they just wasted their feelings? How could an honest official be accommodating?
Even Wei Zhong and Lu Yijiang looked puzzled. Did they understand it wrong before?
Only Li Dacai looked happy and followed him to the back hall and said: "Master Futai did not come to see you when he took office. I am really rude. I have a small kindness here, please accept it."
He said and handed over a white jade slip. This jade slip was half the size of a palm and very thin. It was made of spiritual jade and was also used by Daxuan Bank to deposit and withdraw money.
I scanned it with my spiritual thoughts and found 50,000 pieces of medium-grade spiritual stones marked inside.
Li Dacai originally didn't want to lose such a huge fortune, but now he can see that this Master Futai is definitely not a good person, and he will definitely become the absolute leader of Anping Mansion.
If he doesn't fawn over now, he will be in trouble later.
"Li Xiucai, what does this mean?" Mu Qianyu smiled and played with the jade slip in his hand, and said in a confidential manner: "Are you trying to bribe me?"
"Students don't dare. This is just a little tribute from students to you and has absolutely nothing to do with today's events." Li Dacai had a smile on his face.
The smile in Mu Qianyu's eyes turned cold. He tapped the jade slip with his fingers and said in a dissatisfied tone: "Then Li Xiucai's intentions are really weak."
