Daughter Reborn as the Head of the Family

Chapter 71 Thirty Sticks

Since Second Miss Song can come forward for this young master Qin today, I am afraid that the matter will not let go.

Mr. Wang thought for a moment and then agreed to Song Jinyue's proposal.

Song Jinyue took out her waist badge from her arms, called Qiu Yun, and asked her to go to Zhang Mansion and ask Cousin Zhi to come forward and take people to Anfu Hutong.

She didn't believe it. Who was buying it in Anfu Hutong?

This was a clear attempt to embarrass her.

Then she will never let that person go!

"Sir, a common woman knows that she speaks lightly. If today, a neighbor in Anfu Hutong is bribed by the second young lady of the Duke of Song Dynasty, a common woman will not be able to clear her grievances even if she has a hundred mouths!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Mrs. Li knelt on the ground and howled.

Mr. Wang only felt a buzzing in his ears, which was very disturbing. He slapped his palm and shouted angrily: "In court, there are two sides of evidence for everything. Disturbing the court is a capital crime!"

The anger on Mr. Wang's face was clear.

But the last sentence "It's a capital crime" made Mrs. Li tremble with fear. She couldn't help but shrink her neck and step back.

He hesitated, unable to say a complete sentence for a long time.

She now doesn't have the slightest confidence she had before.

For a moment, she was a little annoyed that she shouldn't be greedy for money. If the neighbors in Anfu Hutong came forward to testify, wouldn't she be dead?

When she thought of this, Mrs. Li flinched a little, and stepped back unnaturally. She looked at Mr. Wang in the court with a somewhat panicked expression, and murmured: "My lord, the people, can the citizen women withdraw the lawsuit...

…”

Mr. Wang glanced over with a cold look. Mrs. Li had already put her head on the ground in fear, not daring to raise her head or say anything.

Seeing this, Mr. Wang already understood in his heart that there was no need for interrogation here.

The look and actions of this woman said it all.

"We have already arrived at Jingzhao Yamen. There is no reason to withdraw the lawsuit! What nonsense!" Mr. Wang's voice sounded coldly, and Mrs. Li did not dare to say anything more.

She secretly prayed in her heart that the neighbors in Anfu Hutong would not come to testify against her.

Song Jinyue said nothing, but watched Mrs. Li's every move just now.

Does Mrs. Li still know how to be afraid?

Then when she sued the Qin brothers and sisters earlier, she should have known that she would definitely come forward. Didn't Granny Li ever think about her own end?

When the crowd gathered in front of Dao Jingzhao Yamen, Mrs. Li secretly knocked on the door and saw that all she saw were the neighbors from the past.

My heart suddenly hit rock bottom.

That person made a mistake after all!

Neighbors at the door came forward one by one and rushed into the Yamen. The official at the door stopped them and asked everyone to wait for the call.

"Sir, my lord, we have hired women!"

Before Master Wang could interrogate her, Mrs. Li had already given up on herself.

Instead of making the last desperate struggle, it is better to work hard and fight for a chance of survival.

"Yes..." Mrs. Li's eyes fell on Song Jinyue, and she slowly raised her finger to point at Song Jinyue.

Mr. Wang frowned, wasn't this woman going to recruit someone? What? She also wanted to testify against Miss Song?

Song Jinyue stared at Granny Li coldly.

Mrs. Li retracted her hand in a panic, and then said slowly: "It was the matron of the Song Dynasty who gave the woman a hundred taels of silver and asked the woman to sue the Qin brothers and sisters..."

Mrs. Li one five ten.

Mr. Wang looked at Song Jinyue, the step-wife of the Duke of Song Dynasty wanted to frame his step-daughter?

In the capital, any step-wife with some respect would treat her step-children harshly just for the sake of a good reputation. Moreover, the first-born spouses are all from a family with a higher status than the step-step family.

The government of this country is a mess.

Such a scandal has reached Jingzhao Yanmen, it is really embarrassing!

Mr. Wang couldn't help but think of Miss Song who went to the City Patrol Department a few days ago because of the witchcraft doll. There has been no progress in that matter, but anyone with a discerning eye can see it. Shen is probably the first suspect.

But there is no evidence, what can be done against Shen?

He heard what Mr. Du, the Inspector of the City, meant, as if Miss Song had evidence in her hand, but was unwilling to show it.

After all, it is a family matter, and it is not easy for Mr. Du to ask for an order to force Miss Song Er to produce evidence.

"Is there any evidence that my mother bribed you?" Song Jinyue naturally understood what Mr. Wang meant.

This is a family matter in the Duke of Song Dynasty.

Seeing her asking this question, Mrs. Li quickly explained: "Of course there is. The one hundred taels of silver note given to the commoner's wife by the Duke's wife was stamped with the seal of the Duke's office."

After Mrs. Li finished speaking, she turned around and took out the one hundred-tael bank note from her arms.

The official came forward and presented the silver note to Master Wang, who then signaled the official to send the silver note to Song Jinyue for confirmation.

Song Jinyue looked at the banknote presented in front of her. The red seal of the Duke of Song Dynasty on it was eye-catching.

"Sir Wang, can this bank note be returned to the woman of the country? Since the woman of the country has already mentioned that she wants to withdraw the lawsuit, let's do it as she pleases."

Song Jinyue confirmed the origin of the banknote.

But when Mrs. Li heard that Song Jinyue was going to take back the banknote, she felt a little panicked. Was she really trying to draw water from a bamboo basket but in vain?

She glanced at Song Jinyue secretly from time to time. Song Jinyue saw the old lady's intention and waved to Qiu Yun, asking her to give the old lady Li another hundred taels of silver notes.

Mrs. Li lost her previous high spirited temperament, smiled apologetically, quickly took the bank note and put it into her arms again.

Master Wang also agreed with Song Jinyue's point of view.

After all, this matter involves the family affairs of the Song Dynasty's back house. If it breaks out in his yamen, it will really cause a lot of trouble.

The official stepped forward and took the chain that trapped Qin Sheng's arm, and Qin Sheng thanked him again.

Mrs. Li got up and was about to leave.

However, Lord Wang sent a gavel with one palm and reprimanded sternly: "Come here, take down this Mrs. Li for me!"

The two officers received the order and stepped forward to hold Mrs. Li down.

"Sir, this, this..." Mrs. Li didn't know what Mr. Wang meant. She couldn't break away, so she could only question Mr. Wang loudly.

Mr. Wang slowly put down the gavel in his hand and scolded: "You have withdrawn the lawsuit, but you still openly gave false evidence to frame others in our Jingzhao Yamen. If you have a heart of repentance, even if you are exempted from the death penalty, it will not be difficult to avoid punishment! Otherwise, you will not be punished in the future!"

If everyone in this court is like you, then there will still be justice in the world!"

Mr. Wang glanced at the two officials and continued: "Pull them down and punish them for thirty years!"

"Wang Da, sir..."

Mrs. Wang was in a panic, and her voice was a little hurried. She was dragged out of the courtroom by two officials, with sticks and screams coming one after another.

Song Jinyue stood up and bowed to Mr. Wang before leading the Qin brothers and sisters out of Jingzhao Yamen.

The neighbors of Anfu Hutong who had previously surrounded the door now surrounded Granny Li and were watching Granny Li being punished.

"You really deserve it! You deserve it after all the bad things you do!"

"No, we were so arrogant a few days ago that we didn't want to stand up. We thought the Duke's wife could stand up for her. Now it's better. I took someone's one hundred taels of silver and received these thirty sticks. It's really deserved!"
