Chapter 025
Ji Yuan came to the county jail for the first time, but it was not as dirty as he imagined, but it was very wet, and there was an indescribable smell. Under the guidance of the constable, he walked to the innermost part and found the mother and daughter of Liu and Li. When he walked in, he suddenly understood what the smell was just now.
The smell of urine.
He subconsciously frowned, but Liu and Li were like seeing a savior. Li was unable to move after being hit by the board. Liu immediately rushed over, grabbed the iron railing, and shouted: "Yuan'er, save me quickly. That bitch Zhou Yuqiong and that dead girl Ji Wan dared to go to the county government to sue me. I should have driven these pair of Sangmenxing out of the house."
Even at this time, she still did not repent and felt that Zhou and Ji Wan were very unfilial. Not only did they not pay her money, they also sent her to prison, which was almost cut into pieces.
Ji Yuan was used to her mother's unreasonable and nonsense. She could tolerate it before, but now her piss is smelly, and her hair is messy, and she is ragged, like a street beggar. As soon as she approaches, the smell hits her face. He wants to vomit and immediately takes two steps back.
"Mom, don't be excited."
Thinking of his purpose of coming here today, his tone was gentle, and he looked like a filial son, and said, "I know you have suffered. But this is a prison, and those prison guards do not express any sympathy. If you yell here again, they will only cause you to suffer more."
Liu remembered the cruelty and ruthlessness of Li when the magistrate ordered the slaughter to be punished today, as well as the blood-stained back of Li's clothes after being punished by the slaughter, and the miserableness of being dragged into the prison while pretending to be dizzy. After trying to play tricks, he was slapped twice... Finally, he realized that this was a county jail, not in Yi Village. The constables were very powerful, and they didn't care that she was an elder at all, and they showed no mercy.
I didn't dare to make trouble again immediately.
"Yuan'er, you must save me..."
Liu, who had been domineering and rampant in Yi Village for his whole life, had never suffered such a great loss and suffered such a crime. He was both hated, bitter and sad, and could not help but shed tears.
"Zhou Yuqiong, the heartless vixen, had confused your second brother so much that he listened to her in everything. If not, then twenty acres of fertile land would have fallen into my hands, otherwise she would have had such confidence and dared to separate the family? If it weren't for the separation of the family, how could our family lose so much money? Now she still complained first, seduced the magistrate in the court, causing us to go to prison. God is not open to his eyes, why didn't he kill this disaster of killing Qiandao to death... I'm sorry for my age, and I'm still wrongly sued by my daughter-in-law..."
Ji Yuan's mouth twitched.
Although he also hated Zhou for suing his mother for jail regardless of mercy, he had to admit that although Zhou was too beautiful, he had no charm at all. He was always at peace with himself, and was usually a vulnerable person, and never had any evil in his own way.
My mother just wanted to be greedy for Zhou's dowry, and she said so righteously.
He ignored it. His mother's reaching this point today is inseparable from her temperament.
"Mom, if you continue to yell, the charge of slandering the county magistrate will be more than just detained for five years."
Mrs. Liu cried and looked up at her son.
How could a rural woman who has never read a book understand that there is also the word "law" in this world? She thought that she could never win any battle wherever she was stubborn.
"Mom, I would like to remind you again that this is the county jail, not in our family. The county magistrate is the largest official in Deng County. If you continue to insult you like this, you will only be punished. Then, you will not think about going out again."
Liu was frightened.
Ji Yuan looked at Li again on the straw. Li's appearance was pretty good. Although he was much worse than Zhou's, he was better than ordinary village women and the wives of wealthy families in the town. He was also gentle in front of Ji Yuan, so Ji Yuan knew that she had some problems and could tolerate it.
But recently, Liu was troubled by her. She had frostbite after washing clothes, cut vegetables and cut several holes, cooking and picking up firewood, etc., which made her angry in her eyebrows and eyes become more and more harsh and more harsh and difficult to get along with.
Today I was hit by a board, my hair was messy, my clothes were messy, and my back was bleeding. I felt disgusted no matter how I looked at it.
Ji Yuan's last affection for her was gone, but his expression was gentle.
"The county magistrate has pronounced the verdict. Our family has no power and power. It is impossible for the magistrate to overturn the case and rehabilitate you."
He knew that his mother and wife had to suffer from their own deeds to this point, but for his own future, he had to appease them first.
"They not only complain about the wrongdoing, but also want to use the issue to ruin my future." Ji Yuan said indignantly, "At the same time, the Ji family is in line with each other, but the second sister-in-law is so heartless and unrighteous, which is really too much."
Liu has always been arrogant and I am reasonable. Li also feels good about himself, but he has done too many bad things and is somewhat guilty and panic. So when everyone testified in court today, she was angry, weak and aggrieved, and even more hated. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law cursed Zhou's mother and daughter thousands of times in their hearts. Ji Yuan's accusation and "pleasure" at this moment have aroused the hatred between them, and the last bit of conscience also disappeared.
"The head of the family, you must avenge us and not let that bitch Zhou succeed."
Thinking of the suffering he suffered in the past few days, Li gritted his teeth with hatred. His hideous appearance became more and more disgusting.
Ji Yuanmeifeng moved unconsciously, but agreed: "When my second brother was there, she pretended to be kind and generous. When my second brother was gone, she split up and seized property, and even sued her mother for being disrespectful and unfilial. Everyone in the village was deceived by her."
The more he followed the words of the two, the stronger the hatred of Liu and Li against Zhou, and even ignored everything in order to avenge.
What Ji Yuan wants is this "nothing to do everything".
"Yuan'er, you want to expose the true face of that bitch and drive her out of the house. And our family's money, she has to give it back to me twice."
After the separation, the son stood on her side for the first time, and Liu immediately became confident.
My mother is shallow, and Ji Yuan thinks even further.
"Mom, she has ulterior motives, but only a few of us know that the county magistrate is blinded by her and will not make decisions for us. She sued you for any means, which cut off my imperial examination road. From now on, they are so worried."
Ji Yuan was both hated, sad and helpless, and knelt down and said in pain: "My son is unfilial and cannot take the imperial examination to quell your grievances. He can only watch the villain succeed and get away with the law."
When Liu and Li were stunned, Ji Yuan had to pass the imperial examination and became an official before he could make decisions for them. However, they were imprisoned for illegal crimes, which also blocked Ji Yuan's path to the scientific examination. He was panic, confused, fearful, and despair all rushed to his heart, "Then...what should I do?"
Both of them had no idea and looked at Ji Yuan.
Ji Yuan's face was still a sad and sad look, and he moved his lips, as if he couldn't bear to speak.
Ji Yun's crying never stopped, and kept calling his parents, whimpering and wanted to go out. Liu was bored and said angrily: "I'm not dead yet, why are you crying? Shut up!"
Ji Yun cried so much that he stopped crying and moved towards his mother in fear.
"Yuan'er, what's your idea? Tell me quickly."
Seeing that his son wanted to speak but stopped, Liu immediately urged him.
Ji Yuan endured it again and again, saying, "There is a way, but..."
"But what, but, say it!"
When Liu heard that there was a way, his eyes lit up and he urged him even more eagerly.
Ji Yuan gritted his teeth and said, "My mother asked to meet the magistrate of the county, sincerely repent and prayed for forgiveness from the second sister-in-law. You are an elder, and even under pressure from the public opinion, the second sister-in-law has to let go. It is not you who pushed Ji Rong down and knocked her head. As long as the second sister-in-law ignores her past grudges, you will be innocent. It's just Wan Hong... You can't excuse the crime of hurting others, and you can only admit it. When Ayun is released from prison, you will take the opportunity to meet the county magistrate. He said that he feels that his sins are serious and he does not want to implicate her husband and daughter, so he asks to go out... When I get into the exam, I will marry you again."
