Abandoned Woman Busy Farming

While the officials were going to arrest people, Bai Zepei and the county magistrate Mr. Li also became familiar with each other. Mr. Li asked Bai Zepei some questions and found that he was familiar with classics and history, and his literary talent was really good, so he couldn't help but want to make friends.

"You and I have hit it off. I'm a little older than you. Why don't you just call me Brother Li, and I'll call you Brother Bai Xiandi too." County Prime Minister Li Shunsheng said.

Bai Zepei hurriedly saluted Master Li, "Being respectful is worse than obeying orders. Zepei has met Brother Li."

"Okay, okay, Brother Bai Xian is such a cheerful person." Li Shunsheng burst into laughter.

At this time, the official happened to bring someone to the lobby. Master Li heard the report from the people below and took Bai Zepei from the backyard to the lobby.

The interrogation went very smoothly. Cao Lesheng and Wang Laidi were frightened as soon as they came to court. Mr. Li only said, "Do you want to give me twenty dollars to tell the truth?", and the two of them confessed everything.

After Cao Lesheng finished explaining, he glared at Wang Laidi angrily and shouted: "This woman seduced me and asked me to do this. She said that the woman from the Bai family always bullied her, and she didn't even mention that her brother was a child. What did this mourning star want to do? Kill me!"

Mr. Li was stunned, "Shen Jing, the two of you have committed adultery. You have already corrupted the morals. You even framed a good woman as an extramarital affair, and you even want to frame a new talented man. This matter must not be tolerated by this officer, so as not to encourage others." If you have bad habits, I will fine each of you with twenty big boards, and each of you will pay a fine of five taels of silver."

"Sir, spare your life, I'm guilty!" Cao Lesheng shouted like a pig butcher, but he couldn't cover up the sound of the board hitting the meat.

It was summer at this time, and I was wearing very thin clothes. There were very few clothes to protect me, and the board was really falling down. Wang Laidi was even worse. She had never suffered such a crime. She kept screaming and said that she did not kill Bai Ruozhu. You cannot punish her so severely.

Mr. Li snorted coldly and winked at the executioner. The officer understood and struck harder. Wang Laidi screamed a few times and passed out.

"Killing someone to death is not just a 20-year penalty, but a serious crime of decapitation." Mr. Li said coldly.

Bai Zepei had always looked calm, but now he looked at Wang Laidi with a cold look. He was very glad that he took action today. A vicious woman like Wang Laidi must not be tolerated. She has reached this point and does not know how to repent. She actually thinks it is harmless. It wouldn't be a serious crime to kill his sister, but it would kill two people.

Cao Lesheng's mother and daughter-in-law came over and cried when they saw Cao Lesheng being beaten like that. Cao Sun honestly paid five taels of silver and asked for help to carry Cao Lesheng back.

But Wang Laidi was not so lucky. The official stopped Cao Sun and asked, "You don't care about your niece?"

Cao Sun spat fiercely, "What a bullshit niece, I don't know this kind of loser!" After saying that, she looked at her son again, with a look of distress and regret on her face. If she had known this, she shouldn't have Let Wang Laidi interact with her family, which is really a disaster for her son.

Wang Laidi was in dire straits. No one came to pick her up, and no one paid her any money. So Mr. Li waved his hand and ordered people to put her into the prison and notify her parents' family to pick her up.

Among the people watching the excitement outside the county government office stood a young man. His brows were furrowed tightly, as if he was very angry. The boy beside him reminded him in a low voice: "Master, the Bai they framed is Mrs. Bai."

Du Zhongshu didn't look at Zhou Fu and whispered: "I know, but I didn't expect there to be such a vicious person." After saying that, he snorted coldly, turned around and left the crowd of onlookers.

He couldn't help but think of the way Bai Ruozhu said she was working hard for her family. Such a woman with a bumpy fate and strong self-reliance would encounter such a thing. On the other hand, Wang Laidi, even if she doesn't like her anymore, considering that she is pregnant, she shouldn't spread rumors like this to cause trouble, right? The Cao family actually helped Zhou to commit evil, which can never be forgiven!

Du Zhongshu's eyes flashed, he could never be forgiven!

In the next few days, news broke out about Cao's grocery store selling fake goods, shoddy goods, and shortages. In addition, a new grocery store opened with high quality and low price. For a time, everyone was convinced that Cao's business was After a sudden fall, he could no longer survive in Anyuan Town. Of course, this is all a story for later.

Bai Zepei thanked Mr. Li, said goodbye and went home. Suddenly, he remembered something and bowed to Mr. Li again and said, "Brother Li, I have one more thing that I'm afraid I have to trouble you with."

"But it doesn't matter." The applause of the people outside made Mr. Li very happy. The county magistrate has returned to his hometown to express his condolences. He can also be regarded as a parent official here. The people can praise him as an "upright official", which will have some influence on his future promotion or transfer. Benefits.

"Originally, my younger sister and her brother-in-law were supposed to go to the county government office to apply for a marriage certificate after they got married, but before they even came to town, my brother-in-law had an accident, so I wanted to make a marriage certificate for them to avoid any unfairness. "This is why he thought of this when Bai Ruozhu mentioned asking the fake first wife to read the marriage certificate today. If there is no marriage certificate, there will be some trouble in the future.

But Bai Zepei didn't know that his actions today would bring great trouble to Bai Ruozhu in the future.

"This..." Mr. Li looked a little embarrassed, "He is not here. This marriage certificate is a bit troublesome. If there is a token of the engagement, it can be registered."

Bai Zepei showed joy, "When my brother-in-law got married, he gave his sister a jade pendant passed down from his family as a token. I will bring it to the county government tomorrow."

"That's no problem, but your sister will also come with you." The county magistrate said.

"Yes, I will come to visit you tomorrow." Bai Zepei said, bowing to the county magistrate, and then left the county office.

Bai Ruozhu learned about the news about the Yamen after her second brother arrived home. The second brother said with a very calm expression how the county magistrate judged the case, and also talked about the mending of the marriage certificate for Bai Ruozhu.

Bai Ruozhu nodded, "Second brother is still thoughtful, then I will go to the Yamen with you tomorrow to settle the marriage certificate issue as soon as possible."

The elders of the Bai family were relieved. If there was a marriage certificate, no one would dare to say that Bai Ruozhu gave birth to a child out of wedlock.

"Thank you so much, second brother, for today. I made you the fish ball soup you like to drink." Bai Ruozhu said as if she was offering a treasure, and turned around to go to the kitchen to stew the soup. She warmed the soup in the big pot, and it will still be there now. It's hot.

Bai Zehao stopped her in a hurry, "Little sister, second brother, you all sit down, big brother go get it."

Bai Ruozhu and Bai Zepei both thanked Bai Zehao. Lin Ping'er felt even happier when she saw that the three children at home had a good relationship.

Soon, Bai Zepei drank up the entire bowl of soup and ate two Wowo. He didn't know whether the soup was too fragrant or he was really hungry.

"How is it, second brother, does it taste good?" Bai Ruozhu said with a smile.

Bai Zepei raised his eyebrows slightly, "You girl still have a conscience."

The whole family laughed, and this annoying thing was over safely.
