A peasant girl traveled through time and space, and she became prosperous

Wen Meijiu's words were not only an exhortation but also a warning. He just made his words sound more high-sounding. Smart people should be able to hear that.

"According to what you said, should I thank the young lady for her reminder?"

The county magistrate was no fool and could hear the threat in Wen Meijiu's words.

But seeing how ragged she is, she probably doesn't have any background. She's just a girl who likes to show off.

"Your Excellency is too kind, I am also a little selfish.

I am doing this not only for you, but also for the sake of you being able to enforce the law impartially and treat me fairly in the future if I need it, so that I won’t be deceived by others.”

"That's quite plausible. Please leave."

After receiving the order, Wen Meijiu happily returned to the crowd.

“Although I am related to you, I will never bring discredit to you, the county magistrate.

I have all the witnesses and material evidence. Since someone is not convinced and insists on seeing it in a roundabout way, why not let her see it?

However, let me be frank with you. If I have been falsely accused, no one in this court or outside the court who is in cahoots with him will be let off.

You have to take the beatings that you deserve and the punishments that you deserve."

These words were directed at Wen Meijiu, and the fire in Wang Yuanwai's eyes was burning towards her.

What she said just now angered Mr. Wang.

The county magistrate felt that he knew what was going on and believed that his uncle had these things, because he had told his uncle that even if he broke the law, he had to make sure that the matter was covered up and not give anyone a chance to criticize him.

With a sly look, the county magistrate looked at Wen Meijiu who was standing beside him, waiting for her reply.

Just now, she offended him like that, and he wasn't that magnanimous. He just couldn't get angry in front of so many people.

"Your Excellency, I know that everything I said is true. If it is false, I am willing to bear the corresponding responsibility and will never shirk my responsibility.

Please give an order to bring witnesses and physical evidence to court."

Mr. Liu kowtowed to the ground with a loud bang, showing his sincerity and impatience, and the county magistrate could no longer refuse.

"Wait, if I am innocent and that woman is wrong, I must be caned eighty times, otherwise, I will never agree to stand trial."

Wang Yuanwai was furious. How could this beggar dare to ruin his good deeds? If he didn't give her a hint, how could he be respectable in public?

The county magistrate signaled Wang Yuanwai with a look, asking him to be more careful with his words. After all, this was a court and a public trial, and he couldn't just listen to his side of the story.

Moreover, whether a woman can survive being beaten with the stick twenty times depends on the strength of the person beating the stick, not to mention being beaten with the stick forty times, in which case the woman will be sent away directly.

Mr. Wang also got angry and turned his face away, pretending he saw nothing.

He is the local emperor of Minhuang County. No one has ever dared to challenge him. Even the position of county magistrate was pushed to the top by him. Why should he have to look at other people's faces?

The county magistrate became anxious as well, and he coughed hard at Mr. Wang, hoping that his uncle would not get angry with him and would instead come up with an enforceable punishment.

"Isn't this too cruel?"

"I told you, this county magistrate's maternal uncle is not that easy to mess with. We are all family."

"Hey, there is no such thing as the king's law. We are the king's law."

The onlookers sighed and grumbled. Everyone knew what was going on. Wasn't it because Mr. Wang was so domineering that he relied on his relationship with the county magistrate?

Isn't suing Mr. Wang equivalent to suing the county magistrate?

How could it be better? The girl just now was also very bold.

What is public trial, what is uprightness, what is fairness and justice? How many living people have seen them? They are just trying to survive!

When Mr. Wang heard these words, he raised the corner of his mouth, revealed a sly smile of contempt, and looked directly at the warm wine.

The county magistrate felt uncomfortable after hearing this, but he couldn't get angry. After all, the law cannot hold everyone responsible, and these were just the whispers of some insignificant people.

In order to appear somewhat fair, he raised the gavel and banged it, saying:

"Forty strokes of the cane are indeed severe, but it is not that severe. It is better to..."

Without waiting for him to finish his words, Wen Meijiu patted his chest and said confidently:

"Sir, I am willing to accept the punishment.

However, I am a little confused, do you have the final say in this court, or does Mr. Wang have the final say?"

What "not as good as"? Who knows if he would say something like "It's better to give him twenty strokes of the cane?" Whether it's twenty or forty, it's unfair. What crime has she committed? Is it just based on a word from Mr. Wang?

"Of course it's me."

The county magistrate was hit in the sore spot and he immediately fought back. He felt a little indignant but forced himself to suppress it and straightened his back.

Very good, this is the attitude that Wen Meijiu wants him to have.

"Since the county magistrate has the final say, I would like to ask, if I am an innocent person and am willing to accept the punishment because of Mr. Wang's attack, what should I do if Mr. Wang is in the wrong?"

Before the county magistrate could make a decision, Wang Yuanwai spoke impatiently. He pointed at the warm wine and said:

"If I am in the wrong, I am willing to take eighty strokes of the cane to silence the people and prevent you from accusing me of favoring me."

"Okay, it's settled. This is your promise to me. Your debt to the Liu family is another matter."

Wen Meijiu was not afraid at all and made the deal immediately to prevent Wang Yuanwai from changing his mind.

Regarding this matter, the onlookers were a little worried about Wen Meijiu, especially the old man who had experienced a lot in the world, who shook his head like a rattle.

"The girl is still young."

"Oh, I'm going to fall into someone else's trap again."

"The methods used by rich and powerful people are so despicable that you and I cannot imagine them. They can turn white into black and black into white."

Of course, Wang Yuanwai heard these words, but he was not ashamed of them. Instead, he felt a little proud. He sneered at the warm wine and said:

“You are young and pretty. If you are willing to bow your head and apologize to me now, I can consider giving you a status and letting you live a worry-free life.

As a family, we can discuss everything.”

This is disgusting to Wen Meijiu. Just look at his fat head and big ears, and Wen Meijiu feels sick of the sight of him.

With a cold snort in his heart, Wen Meijiu didn't even look at him, but glanced at him and said:

"I see that you are old and have some weight. If you are willing to bow your head and apologize to me and the people of Minhuang County, I am willing to let you pour my night fragrance."

Hahaha, the people around burst into laughter. Mr. Wang's face turned purple instantly, and the county magistrate in the hall also felt ashamed.

"presumptuous!"

The fake sound of the gavel shook the laughing man to pieces. The county magistrate was furious. After all, he was his uncle, and he had suffered such a great humiliation in front of him.
