After Picking Up the Lucky Girl, the Whole Village Became Prosperous

 “I didn’t, how could I say such a thing.”

Little Han was very angry, pointed at Yingbao and shouted: "You can talk nonsense at a young age, who taught you this!"

"You are talking nonsense! I dare to swear to God that what I said is true. Do you dare? Huh! You and your sister went to my house to abduct the child before. Even the neighbors couldn't stand it and threw stinky **** on you, so you So he paid Chen Ergou to commit murder."

Yingbao took advantage of his young age and talked a lot, and even the paperwork couldn't keep up with the records.

Little Han didn't expect a little kid to have such a sharp mouth, and said angrily: "Shut up! You are so young and talk nonsense, and you don't have any tutoring..."

"You don't have a tutor. Look at the things you do, how can you be a tutor?" Ying Bao refused to give in and scolded her with her hands on her hips.

"You...you..." Xiao Han's hands shook in anger.

 “Stop! There is no making noise in the courtroom!”

Mei County Magistrate slapped the alarm, "If you make any more noise, I will serve you with a stick!"

Little Han didn’t dare to say anything anymore.

Yingbao rolled his eyes at her and stood beside his father.

Magistrate Mei County turned to the defendant Chen Ergou and asked: "I will report you for all the things you have committed. If you miss a sentence, you will be punished with a cane!"

 Chen Ergou knelt on the ground and began to confess.

Finally, he said: "… The common people were not angry that Jiang Sanlang had put my wife and children in jail or exile, so they discussed with my son-in-law to take away his child and throw her into the wild to fend for herself.

  Great official, the small people were confused for a moment and had no intention of harming anyone's life. The small people are good people and have not even killed a chicken. Great official, please spare the small people this time. "

Liao Qilin, who was standing at the county magistrate's table, asked: "Your confession seems to be different from Zhang Mazi. He said that you were employed by someone and would give him a tael of silver afterwards. Is this true?"

"It's nothing, sir. How could a commoner tell him this? That kid must be trying to extort my money. Think about it, if someone really hired me, how could I not even have money to eat?"

 Chen Ergou's repeated denials made Jiang Sanlang and Ying Bao very angry.

This guy must have been bribed by someone, but there is nothing he can do about it.

"You lied!" Jiang Sanlang shouted angrily: "Bao'er was obviously handed over to the Han sisters by you. Are you still making excuses now because you want to get some benefit from them?"

"I didn't. Don't bite the good people randomly..." Chen Ergou's eyes dodge.

"Quiet!" Magistrate Mei slapped the crowd and shouted: "Jiang Sanlang! I haven't asked you to reply yet, so don't make any noise! ​​Otherwise, you can get twenty sticks!"

Turning to the defendant, he asked: "Chen Ergou, I want to ask you, do you know the two women in the hall?"

Chen Ergou shrank his neck and glanced at the Han sisters, and said loudly: "Officials, these two people know each other, but they didn't hire me. Really, they didn't. It was all done by Xiaomin alone. If Xiaomin is willing, Take all the blame and never wrong a good person..."

Ying Bao and her father were so angry that they fell back. Looking back at the Han sisters, they saw a flash of displeasure on their faces.

Mei County Magistrate was very satisfied when he saw the prisoner readily admitting his guilt. He just wanted to end the case as soon as possible so that he could sort out the matters before leaving office.

 So the prisoner was asked to put his fingerprints on the confession and prepare to pronounce the sentence.

Jiang Sanlang was dissatisfied. He took a step forward and clasped his fists and said, "Sir, my daughter was indeed kidnapped by the murderers hired by the Han sisters. You can't just close the case like this..."

　　　“Presumptuous!”

Magistrate Mei was angry, "When will I use you as a villager to judge a case? Do you think that the Han sisters must have evidence for hiring murderers? Just based on the dictation of an ignorant child, you speculate that they are criminals. You Are you kidding about the laws of the imperial court? Or do you think that I am stupid and can be manipulated at will by ordinary people like you? "

Jiang Sanlang was angry, but he could only bow his hands and salute, "I don't dare, the common people." "Humph!"

Magistrate Mei County was shocked, "This case is clear. According to the court's criminal law, I will sentence the first offender Chen Ergou to 40 sticks and five years in prison. The accomplice Zhang Mazi to 30 sticks will be sentenced to three years!"

 Chen Ergou and Zhang Mazi knelt down and kowtowed, feeling relieved.

 At least he is not going into exile, his life is saved. I'll just serve a few years in prison, and then I'll go back to my hometown and live a life of farming.

Jiang Sanlang clenched his palms angrily. When Ying Bao saw this, he quickly took his father's hand and shook his head at him.

The Han sisters looked happy and called themselves Qingtian officials. They kowtowed to the county magistrate to thank them.

Mei County Magistrate took out his official seal and stamped the verdict. He also asked the forest owner to write a notice of the verdict and posted it on the public notice wall outside the county government office.

Han Juniang suddenly said: "Officials, I have something to report to you."

Magistrate Mei was in a good mood and allowed her to speak.

Han Juniang said: "To be honest, this baby girl from Jiang Sanlang's family is actually the biological child of a common woman. The Jiang family has always been domineering and refused to return it. They also asked high-ranking officials in the Ming Dynasty to make the decision for the common woman to return the child to my family. ”

Jiang Sanlang was so angry that he rushed forward and beat the person.

Ying Bao quickly grabbed her father to stop him from getting excited, and said to Mr. Han, "I'm not your child. I think you are still evil and want to kidnap me and sell me, right?"

The surrounding government officials saw that the two sides were at war with each other and seemed to be about to fight. They slammed their killing sticks and shouted in unison: "Mighty~"

Magistrate Mei also slapped the alarm, his face darkened, but he couldn't help being curious and asked: "Is there such a thing? Mr. Han, tell me what's going on."

Han Juniang gave a blessing gift to the magistrate of Mei County and said: "A commoner woman gave birth to a child three years ago. Because she was born weak, she died early. My mother-in-law thought she was dead, so she abandoned her. But later she was Jiang Sanlang picked it up..."

Magistrate Mei knew what was going to happen as soon as he heard this, and waved his hand: "This matter has nothing to do with this case. If you have any disputes, just wait until the next magistrate takes office and then complain. Retreat!"

Jiang Sanlang was furious, but he also knew that he couldn't get angry in the court, so he picked up Yingbao and left.

 Sneered when passing by the Han sisters.

Ying Bao lay on her father's shoulder and said to Han: "I'm not your child, bad woman! Your child was killed by you a long time ago! You'd better go to the underworld to find her."

Han's expression froze.

Little Han was also very dissatisfied with the elder sister's actions. He pulled her over and scolded her in a low voice, "What nonsense did you just say? How could you say such a thing at this time?"

If the county magistrate hadn't wanted to close the case as soon as possible, was this fool trying to drag himself into trouble?

"Don't mention this matter again in the future! That child is not yours, so don't cause trouble!" Xiao Han said angrily.

　　Han lowered his head and responded in a low voice, but he felt unwilling to do so.

"Also, my family has spent a lot of money on you this time, and I will pay it back later." Little Han looked at the eldest sister with a look of disgust: "It's two hundred taels in total, and you must pay me back before the end of the year."

　　Han exclaimed: "What? Why do you want so much? Where do I have two hundred taels of silver?"

 “Keep your voice down!”

Little Han quickly walked out of the courtroom and came to his mule cart. He turned around and said to Han who was following him: "Are you just looking after one person? How can this little money be too much? I don't care if you have money or not, this amount Money must be given. If you don’t have it, go and ask for it from your brother-in-law. If that doesn’t work, you can ask for it from your parents-in-law.”

"Also, don't mention the child again. If something goes wrong, no one can save you." After saying this, Xiao Han got into the mule cart and urged the servant to drive away.

Han was stunned on the spot, looked around, and saw the Jiang family looking towards her. She was frightened and ran to find her husband, Chen Changping.
