The county magistrate Wang Hai found it really interesting and couldn't help but laugh out loud. To the panicking Xu Lan'er and Wang Su, her laughter was as loud as thunder in a clear sky.
With large strides, he walked behind the official's desk. Wang Hai patted the shocking log and shouted sternly: "Wang Su, you two really think that this official is easy to fool! He dared to lie to the court, and now he had to tell the truth! "Do you want me to punish you?"
Wang Su and Xu Lan'er were trembling like autumn cicadas as they prostrated themselves on the ground and kowtowed. They shouted out one after another, "This humble one has been wronged! This humble one has been wronged!"
"A single song and a single game of wishful thinking toyed with this official's hand, how dare he still cry out his injustice …"
Wang Hai sneered, and then patted the wood to scare the public. The Shangguan family's aura exploded, "Wang Su, you said that Jin had scratched your chest, and when you saw that the matter was about to be exposed, you said that you had scratched your shirt's lapel, and said that you had been hit by a stick. However, apart from your hands, you did not have any other injuries, you actually lied and fooled me, do you really think I am a decoration?"
Wang Su was trembling so much that she couldn't even stand up straight. Her two rows of teeth were clattering against each other.
"Xu Lan'er!" You and Wang Su claim to be husband and wife, but they are not a woman from a good family. Otherwise, where would you have gotten those embroidered shoes that only prostitutes would wear? "
Xu Lan'er's expression changed greatly. She quickly looked at the embroidered shoes on her feet, and then collapsed to the ground with a deathly pale face.
After venting his anger, Wang Hai let out a long breath and looked at Jin Weiwei with his two eyes.
Jin Weiwei tactfully replied, "Just now, this humble daughter had repeatedly interrogated Wang Su over and over again in this court. It seems that she has really broken the rules. I hope that the county magistrate can forgive her."
Wang Hai changed his expression into a beaming smile. He sat on the teacher's chair and said carelessly, "You've let me see a good show, so I won't pursue the details."
"Why aren't you two telling the truth!?" Wang Hai stared at Wang Su and the rest with a cold gaze.
Wang Su trembled and did not dare to continue hiding it. She honestly told him everything that had happened.
However, Jiang Qingshu was not mentioned at all. He just claimed that he was a lackey who had been busy recently and wanted to extort a lot of money. That was why he had teamed up with Xu Lan'er, the harlot of the Spring Pavilion.
Jin Weiwei recalled Wang Su's earlier actions of looking at the crowd frequently and knew that there must be a mastermind behind this incident. However, she did not have any evidence at the moment, so if she brought it up recklessly, it would only end up being inferior.
Forget it! I'll think of a way to investigate Wang Su's background in the future. Since I have a grudge against her, I definitely won't let her off and wait for her to reveal herself.
"So that's how it is." After Wang Hai heard what Wang Su said, he stroked his moustache and said to Jin Ling, "These two people are maliciously framing you. This official will deal with them impartially."
"The county magistrate is indeed sharp, and his case is like a god. Even that Di Renjie's second reincarnation could not match up to him." Jin Weiwei smiled and flattered him. Her expression was extremely sincere. "This little girl is truly admirable."
This flattery caused Wang Hai's heart and body to feel very comfortable. He looked at Wang Su and the other two and scolded them, "The two of you …"
Before the verdict was out, Wang Su and Xu Lan'er kowtowed in panic and begged for mercy, "I beg the county magistrate to spare us. We were so cute that we made such an absurd move."
"Since you know that this is nonsense, you should also know that committing a crime is worse!" Wang Hai's face darkened when he remembered that these two people had tried to trick him just now. He patted the wooden log twice and said, "Wang Su, Xu Lan'er has cheated good citizens and even made up a bunch of nonsense in the court. I'll send you two to compensate the victim, Jin Weiwei, with fifty taels of silver."
There had not been any deaths or major financial disputes, which were considered minor cases. Generally, Wang Su and Wang Meng would have to pay some silver taels as compensation, not to mention the fact that the county had angered Wang Hai, which had increased the amount of silver taels.
Unexpectedly, Jin shook his head slightly, "I don't want them to compensate me with silver."
He actually didn't want the silver. That was a real fifty taels of silver!
The yamen runners on both sides stared with wide eyes. Was this girl stupid? He didn't want any money!
Wang Hai said with a smile, "You don't want it? Could it be that you want to let them off so easily? "
Giving a shallow smile, Jin Weiwei respectfully kowtowed and solemnly said, "Sage Confucius once said that to repay a debt of virtue, how can one repay a debt of virtue? Therefore, the common woman will never disobey Sage Kong's words. "
Wang Hai stroked his beard and asked with a smile, "Then, what are you going to do about it?"
When Wang Su and Xu Lan'er heard the magistrate's words, their eyes stared fixedly at Jin Weiwei. Jin Weiwei was also looking at them. Xu Lan'er started to beg, "Miss Jin, please spare us a lot. We won't dare to do it again."
Withdrawing her gaze, Jin Weiwei straightened her posture and respectfully begged, "This humble girl doesn't want their money because she thinks it's dirty!"
Wang Hai raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect this little girl to be so proud, but he heard her continue, "This humble girl only wishes that the county magistrate imprison these two, so we can have a taste of the prison's food and teach them a lesson so that we won't have any more vicious thoughts in the future. To harm others!"
Wang Hai could not help but laugh as he said, "You are such a sly one. Fine, the actions of these two people are truly loathsome. Let's let them have a good memory today."
"Great Master Qing Tian!" Please don't put them in jail. This one has both the old and the young. If they go to jail, who will take care of them? "Master, please be merciful …" Peng peng peng peng peng. Wang Su's forehead was completely red.
Xu Lan'er also cried, and her voice was sharp and ear-piercing. "My lord, I won't dare to do that again. Please forgive me this time."
The two of them cried harder than their parents would cry if they were dead. It was so noisy that the atmosphere in the court turned black.
Seeing that Wang Hai didn't change his original intention, Xu Lan'er dared to tear her clothes and winked at him with tears and snot all over her face. "As long as sire is willing to forgive me this time, I'll let you sleep free of charge."
This attitude really made everyone in the court disgusted.
"You, you, you …" Wang Hai's shocked words were not even complete. He pointed at Xu Lan'er and yelled, "Hurry up and put your clothes on this official!"
Not only did Xu Lan'er not listen, she even went to relieve herself.
When Jin Weiwei saw this strange scene, she suddenly felt extremely disgusted. The corner of her mouth twitched as she silently retreated far away.
Even the bailiffs who had been handling cases for so many years had never seen such a shameless woman. They were all dumbstruck at this moment.
Wang Hai was disgusted by Xu Lan'er's actions. This was simply indecent. If this news got out, then he wouldn't be treated as a county magistrate.
"What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and imprison these two unruly people in the prison!"
