After rebirth, the lady always wants to give a bad review

Chapter 997 Scapegoat

Fearing that the county magistrate would not give him a chance to continue, Xu Xu only took the initiative to say, "Tell me how they persecuted you."

The old man went on to say, "This matter has to start from last year. I think everyone should know that we rent and plant the fields in our Zhao and Chen villages at Fafa Temple. Every year we need to pay Fafa Temple ten tans of rice." To pay for the land rent, we didn’t expect that last year there was a drought first, and then locust plagues crossed the border, and the grain we planted was almost useless.”

"Afterwards, we have been in arrears with Fafa Temple's food. We still have a headache, and Fafa Temple is also very headache. Afterwards, Fafa Temple told the villain that a nobleman passed by here yesterday, so let's not go over and run into it, little one. Naturally, everyone was notified immediately, but I didn't want the nobles to have an accident. Not long after the accident, people from Fafa Temple came to find us. He made another proposal to us, he only said that we should take the crime of offending the nobleman, and then he said that as long as we find a few people to take the blame, they will be exempted from the previously arrears of food."

"We can't even afford to eat, so how can we repay the food, so we finally decided to take the blame, but everyone else dragged their families, but I, the old man, was alone, and my son died in the Up front, my wife also went the year before last, so it would be worthwhile to use me as an old man to write off everyone's debts."

"It's just that the people in Fafa Temple said that I, an old man, was not credible enough to do this. After that, I tricked Chen Yu into being the scapegoat with me. Jing'an asked for it on his own initiative. I originally disagreed. After all, he still He is young and will have a family in the future, and he is not like Chen Yu, but he insists on going with me. He is an orphan picked up by the villagers and grew up eating a lot of food. This time he said that he wants to repay everyone's kindness .”

After saying this, he sighed deeply.

The others also wiped their tears silently because of Chen You'an's words.

Xu Xu didn't know that there was such a reason for these people, and she only felt pity in her heart.

Then Chen Youan knelt down in the direction of the prince, "Your Highness, please make the decision for us on this matter."

The magistrate felt a little embarrassed for a while, but it was really hard for him to decide this matter. After all, the people of Fafa Temple could not afford to offend him, and he had also received benefits from Fafa Temple.

They begged like this, but the prince did not open his eyes. After a long time, the prince said slowly, "You were lying before, and now you are talking about other things. Why should I believe you?"

Everyone didn't expect the prince to say that, and they just looked at each other for a while.

Then it was Chen You'an who was the first to react, and he quickly took out an IOU in his hand.

"Your Highness, I have this. This is the IOU we wrote before. This is the IOU we owed Fafa Temple that day, and I can confront the mage of Fafa Temple." Chen You'an quickly proposed.

Xu Xu took the crumpled paper balls that the old man took out, then flattened them, and handed them to the prince.

The prince just glanced at it.Then he continued, "This is not enough evidence."

After listening to the prince's words, it seemed that everyone's glimmer of hope was about to be quickly shattered.

Then a young man standing among the group of people in Chenjiacun suddenly took out a piece of paper that he had been holding in his hand.He nervously said to Xu Xu, "Girl, why don't you see if this can be used as evidence?"
