Li Xiucai didn't expect Mu Qianyu to be so upright in court, but to have such a big appetite in court. Not satisfied with 50,000 middle-grade spiritual stones?
But he is a citizen and Mu Qianyu is an official. If the eldest master is dissatisfied, he has no choice but to accept the throne.
This is not for Mrs. Liu, but for him. If he doesn't show his filial piety to satisfy the other party, he may be in trouble in the future.
"Yes, yes, the student may have taken the wrong jade slip." Li Dacai smiled and handed over the second piece, saying: "There are one hundred thousand pieces of medium-grade spiritual stones in it. You are despised, so keep it to buy tea."
"I don't need so much to buy tea." Mu Qianyu pointed at another jade slip and said, "Do you want to return this one to you?"
"No...no need..." Li Dacai shook his head repeatedly: "It's all for Mr. Futai."
"One hundred and fifty thousand." Mu Qianyu scratched the tip of his nose with his index finger and said, "That's almost enough. Let's go to the court."
Li Dacai thought he couldn't accept the money and left, so he quickly asked: "What about the students?"
"Don't worry, the money is in place, nothing can be done." Mu Qianyu reached out and patted his shoulder as he passed by, smiling heartily.
Li Dacai immediately followed with a painful smile, nodded and followed behind.
Everyone in the court was waiting for the two of them to come back, especially Niu Er and Liu. When they saw Li Dacai coming back with a suppressed smile, they felt nervous.
The two held hands tightly, and Niu Er even whispered: "Madam, I'm afraid I didn't hurt you."
"We have to trust you, sir." Although Ms. Liu said this, her voice was trembling, and there was already a will to die in her wet eyes.
Anyway, life is worse than death. If she encounters a faint official again, she will die and everything will be over!
When Mu Qianyu walked back, her face was a little happy, because now that she has money, it is impossible for her to be blind without seeing money. It goes against her physiological function.
So no matter how hard she controlled it, there was always a smile in her eyes, which made the people uneasy no matter how they looked at her.
They thought of the possibility that maybe the big boss had been so fair just to extract more money.
"The trial of this case continues. Li Xiucai did reveal some hidden information just now. I feel that the case should not be closed hastily." Mu Qianyu spoke slowly.
The common people couldn't help but feel a little 'thump' in their hearts.
This tone of voice became too fast, and it was so obvious that it made me feel dizzy.
Li Dacai's face was filled with joy, and he turned to look at Mr. Liu who was kneeling on the ground, his eyes full of cruelty and anger.
It caused him to take so much money and go out. When he goes back, he will definitely make this woman's life worse than death.
"I received this in the back hall." Mu Qianyu casually threw the two jade slips into the courtroom and said, "Master Lu Tong, look at the number of spiritual stones in this jade slip."
Everyone was stunned again. It turned out that a bribe had been collected and the bribe was given out?
This reversal is a bit of a slap in the face.
Li Dacai's face, which had been so complacent just now, suddenly froze. He never expected that Mu Qianyu would challenge him here.
Wouldn't bribing the superior destroy his evidence?
"Sir, there are a total of 150,000 middle-grade spiritual stones." Lu Yijiang said.
When these words came out, everyone was in an uproar. How much money had Li Dacai accumulated over the years, and yet he was so generous with his money?
"Lu Tongjian, I asked for advice on bribing the superior officer in an attempt to interfere with the legal ruling. What crime should I be punished for?" Mu Qianyu asked.
"The amount of bribes to the superior officials is huge. He should be stripped of his rank, given a hundred rods, and serve for three years. In addition, the amount of bribes should be confiscated." Lu Yijiang said immediately.
Mu Qianyu nodded with satisfaction, looked at Li Dacai and said, "Your name is on the jade slip, what else do you have to say now?"
"Master Futai, you can't wrongly accuse students like this..." Li Dacai said anxiously.
"How can you claim to be a student after you have been deprived of your academic honors? Kneel down." Mu Qianyu slapped the hall in shock, and then said: "Come here, I will be beaten with a cane."
One bamboo stick represents ten sticks. Mu Qianyu threw the bucket of bamboo sticks down and said, "Hit!"
The government officials were also very obedient now. They stepped forward with their sticks and smashed them into the crook of Li Dacai's leg. Li Dacai screamed and knelt down. The jade belt of fame above his head was taken off, and the board fell down hard.
The government officials also know how to look at their faces. It is obvious that the master wants to punish him severely, so he doesn't have any strength left in his hands.
"Bang bang bang!"
The dull sound of the cane and the shrill screams filled the entire court, all reminding everyone of the determination of the new Master Futai to punish the bullies.
"Sir, I was wronged..." Li Dacai, the thief, shouted with an unyielding heart: "You can't wrongly accuse a good man like this."
"Roaring in court, add fifty sticks." Mu Qianyu said calmly. Now he is getting more and more skilled in deducting charges.
Li Dacai's voice stopped immediately and he did not dare to shout again.
Niu Er and Liu looked at this scene in disbelief. Have they really been looking forward to this day? Has the previous shadow really passed?
All this happened so suddenly, and it felt unreal.
The common people felt extremely happy when they saw this bully being punished. At this time, they could finally sing the praises of this great master Qingtian with peace of mind.
"The sky has eyes, the sky has eyes." An old man was already kneeling at the gate of the government office and crying bitterly.
Mu Qianyu said to the government servant who was about to stop him: "Don't be rude to the old man, just help him up."
After the beating, the yamen officials dragged Li Dacai down, leaving the room full of blood.
"Niu Er and Madam thank you for your great kindness."
Mu Qianyu raised his hand and said, "This is my duty. There is nothing to thank you for. Take your wife back and live a happy life. Remember to be nice to her."
"You don't need to explain this to me. The common people will definitely treat her as if they are in their heart and will not let her suffer any further injustice." Niu Er expressed joy.
Mrs. Liu blushed and whispered: "What are you talking about? You are not shy."
"Hehe." Niu Er scratched his head naively.
Mu Qianyu chuckled lightly and said, "Quit."
The common people were already having a party outside the government office, and they finally found a place to lodge their grievances.
In the back hall, Lu Yijiang handed over the two jade slips in his hand and said: "Master Futai, this is the stolen money that was paid."
"Yes." Mu Qianyu nodded and looked at Lan'er taking over the jade slip, feeling in a good mood.
Wei Zhong quickly flattered him and said, "Sir, you are really wise. Having you in Anping Mansion is really a blessing."
"Yes." Mu Qianyu responded in a moderate tone, and looked at the government servant Zhao Bing on the side: "Xiao Zhao, take people to investigate Li Dacai. Be sure to find out all his past crimes and judge him together."
"Yes." Zhao Bing responded with clasped fists and left.
Wei Zhong was a little embarrassed to be left alone. Thinking of his initial attitude towards Mu Qianyu, he almost wanted to slap him.
Mu Qianyu raised his eyelids lightly and said, "Excuse me, you two. I'm back."
