Chapter 217 The Little Scholar Killed by His Classmates (1)
Shuangshuang just regained consciousness and found herself lying on the ground, feeling a burning pain in her pigtail.
I quickly scanned with my spiritual sense and saw that the pigu was red and swollen, and the skin in the center of two places was broken and bleeding.
Baring his teeth, he asked Little Orange, "Tell me what's going on!"
Without waiting for Xiaojuzi to reply, the middle-aged county magistrate with a long mustache who was sitting in front of the mirror in the hall slammed the gavel.
"Yang Yushuang! Come on, tell the truth! Did you steal Jiang Yunzhi's money?"
Shuangshuang is not stupid. Even if she doesn't have the original owner's memory, she will never admit that she stole the money.
So he endured the pain and replied righteously.
"I didn't steal it!"
"How dare you! Do you still want to be beaten?"
Shuangshuang was furious and wanted to be beaten if she didn't confess.
What kind of logic is this? Are they trying to force a confession out of him?
Ignoring everything else, "Little Orange, please send the memory ball over here quickly."
Not to mention the distant past, the most recent memory is that the original owner was appreciated by the teacher because of his good grades.
But this also offended a classmate named Jiang Yunzhi.
Jiang Yunzhi relied on his family's wealth and usually showed off to the original owner, but now he deliberately set up a trap to frame the original owner for the crime of theft.
Then, right after the court session, the original owner, as the defendant, was ordered by the county magistrate to be beaten with ten boards.
No wonder pigu was in so much pain. Wouldn’t it hurt to be hit by such a heavy board?
The original owner in the memory was too young and weak to wake up in time after receiving the ten beatings.
Therefore, the county magistrate ordered the bailiffs to search him, and they actually found a fifty-liang silver note in his inner pocket.
After getting the result, the county magistrate didn't care whether the original person was unconscious or not, and directly convicted the original person of the crime of theft.
He also asked the yamen runner to use his finger to sign the document.
Then he sentenced the original body to exile three hundred miles for one year and was not allowed to take part in the imperial examinations in this life.
This was naturally a huge blow to a farmer's son who could only succeed through the imperial examination.
Thinking of this, Shuangshuang realized that a man of insight is a wise man and immediately changed his reply to be respectful.
"Your Excellency, I didn't steal anything. Please investigate!"
"Humph, with all the witnesses here, how can you argue?"
Shuangshuang didn't care about anything else and argued loudly, but she must not give the county magistrate a chance to judge her!
"Sir, I am innocent. I did not steal his silver.
You can't just use his empty accusations as evidence in court, right?"
"It's you, that's you!
Who else but you?
Of all the people in our private school, your family is the poorest."
"Jiang Yunzhi! Catch the thief and the stolen goods. Why are you accusing me of something based on a guess?
Don’t the poor even have the right to live? You deserve to be framed by me!”
After grappling with him with gritted teeth, they looked up and said to the county magistrate at the top.
"Please, sir, investigate this matter thoroughly! This student is innocently accused!"
"Hmph, a thief is a thief! No matter how much you cry out for justice, it won't change the fact that you are a petty thief!"
Shuangshuang silently scanned her entire body with her spiritual sense, and actually found a fifty-liang silver note in the inner pocket on her chest.
With a thought, the fifty-liang silver note and some loose change in the purse on his waist were immediately and steadily placed into his own body space.
He used his spiritual power to ease pigu's pain a little, and continued to argue for himself forcefully.
"Sir, I am willing to search myself to prove my innocence!
But if I didn't steal Jiang Yunzhi's silver, please give me justice!"
“Don’t worry, if you really didn’t steal his silver.
Then the blows you received today will naturally hit him twice as hard."
Although the Jiang family was relatively wealthy, they were not so wealthy that they could spend a fortune and ask the county magistrate to sacrifice his own future to help the Jiang family.
Next, at the signal of the county magistrate, two yamen runners immediately helped them up and took them to the inner room for a body search.
After all, he was a private school student. Before he could confirm whether he had really stolen anything, the county magistrate was not so unkind as to force him to be searched in front of everyone.
Shuangshuang was in pain in her pig, so she walked slowly while cursing in her heart and scolding Jiang Yunzhi!
A body search naturally yielded nothing.
The county magistrate could not openly favor Jiang Yunzhi in public.
After all, the original body's teacher and classmates were still watching from outside the hall.
The most important thing was that he had heard that the teacher of this academy was the second son of the Liu family in the capital.
Although no one knows why he appeared in this area and opened a small private school.
But after all, they are all his students. If there is no evidence, and I have gone too far, who knows if I will offend him?
If he goes to my family and starts talking nonsense, I guess I won't be able to move my position at all in my lifetime.
In the end, they had no choice but to pretend to falsely accuse Jiang Yunzhi and beat him twice as hard, that is, twenty strokes.
Jiang Yunzhi immediately collapsed to the ground, frightened and incontinent, his whole body trembling.
I just saw Yang Yu faint after being beaten with ten boards. Will he still be alive after being beaten with twenty boards?
His father quickly knelt down and pleaded with the county magistrate, and then quickly gave the housekeeper a wink.
The butler understood and quickly came to the master quietly and whispered a few words in his ear.
The county magistrate then softened his tone and announced it in court.
"Yang Yushuang was released without charge, and Jiang Yunzhi was thrown into prison. This case will be retried later!"
Shuangshuang was not angry. It was just a matter of how much silver Jiang Yunzhi's father gave to the county magistrate to save his son.
After all, the original owner had no power or influence. The county magistrate's willingness to give him justice was already a great favor. Could he still expect him to be completely biased towards him?
It's just a pity for this little pig. It's like someone deliberately cut him and sprinkled him with chili water. The burning pain made him break out in cold sweats.
He didn't dare let the wound heal immediately, so he could only apply weak spiritual power to the pain to relieve it slightly, and then moved out of the yamen step by step.
Master Liu and several of his classmates who also came from poor families were waiting outside the yamen.
Several classmates saw him and quickly came over to support him!
Zhang Junjie, the original body's only rich classmate and good friend who didn't look down on him, was the first to speak when he saw him like this.
"Brother Yu Shuang, slow down! Awang is driving the carriage here, go lie down on it first.
We have to go to the doctor later to take care of the wound."
Shuangshuang said to him in a weak manner.
"Brother Junjie, thank you very much."
Zhang Junjie shook his head nonchalantly, "Brother Yu Shuang, don't worry about it. Why should we thank each other between brothers?"
Shuangshuang slowly moved to the front of Master Liu and his classmates, bowed to Master Liu with difficulty, and then bowed to his classmates.
"Thank you, Master, for your protection! Thank you all for your concern!"
Master Liu shook his head slightly, "I didn't do anything, don't worry about it.
Go back and recuperate first, don’t think about anything else!
As for this county exam, I think we should just…"
"Master, please register the students!"
Shuangshuang didn't care about being polite anymore and quickly bowed to interrupt the teacher.
"But how can your body bear it?"
"Master, the reason I suffered this misfortune today is because I have no family background and no connections, right?
So students will definitely be able to overcome this little bit of pain!"
