Chapter 1757: Occupy the Well (2)
Chapter 1757 Occupy the Well (2)
"It's not just old people, sometimes children and widows go to fetch water, and he doesn't give it either."
"Yes, if Li Zheng hadn't brought his son and the young men in the village to clean up him and his accomplices, how many people in the village would have died of thirst."
Seeing that the villagers were correcting him, Lai Shanzi was worried about what these soldiers would really do to him, and hurriedly said: "I... I didn't do it for a few days and was cleaned up by you? You also abused lynching and beat me up. Well, I haven't asked you for medical expenses yet, and you still have the face to talk about me here."
Liu Sibing suddenly said: "Okay, come here, arrest this person!"
Lai Shanzi saw that as soon as they caught him, they started to tie him up, and he didn't dare to resist, but hurriedly said: "Master, I really failed after doing that for a long time, and it didn't cause any harm to them, but I still spent money on it. Hundreds of copper coins are used to buy wound medicine, they beat me at will, they are the ones you should arrest."
Liu Sibing sneered: "You don't want others to live, it's light for others to hit you."
Lai Shanzi begged bitterly: "Sir, you can treat me as young and ignorant, and forgive me. I promise, I will be an obedient person in the future, and I will never do stupid things again, okay?"
Liu Sibing said: "Of course not. This is the foot of the emperor. His Majesty has not ordered that people over fifty years old are not allowed to drink water. Where do you have the courage to make such a rule? Also, don't you know, Many of the ministers in the imperial court are over fifty, you set such a rule, do you take them seriously?"
Lai Shanzi said anxiously: "Oh, I was wrong, I was really wrong, I will never dare again, I can kneel down and confess to them, just please forgive me this time."
"Forgive you? In a dream, he blocked his mouth. When they finished picking up the water, they would immediately send it to Lord Jing Zhaoyin."
"Yes, my lord."
Lai Shanzi's mouth was quickly blocked. Seeing this, he looked at Lizheng anxiously.
Peng Dazhi just snorted coldly and turned his head.
Lai Shanzi just needs to clean up. He hasn't forgotten how this man disobeyed his orders. Now that someone has taken care of him, it's too late for him to be happy. How could he beg for mercy?
Lai Shanzi looked at his parents anxiously again.
Lai Shanzi's parents saw their son's eyes asking for help, and worried that if they didn't intercede at this time, their son would not give them old age in the future, so they had to take turns to intercede.
"My lord, I'm Lai Shanzi's father, I didn't teach him well and made him do wrong things, but he occupied the well for less than a day, and it didn't cause any bad consequences, so please forgive him. Just once."
"My lord, I'm Lai Shanzi's mother. My son has been spoiled since he was a child. It's our fault. If you want to punish, just punish us. We are willing to take it for him. Be kind."
Liu Sibing said firmly: "Spare him? Impossible, this is His Majesty's order. There are so many people watching here. I forgive him. If His Majesty blames me, who will forgive me?"
"This…"
Liusi Bing said: "Enough, come here, take me down. If there is anyone who pleads for mercy, they will be punished according to the law for the crime of obstructing official duties, and they will be beaten 50 times."
"Yes."
Lai Shanzi's parents were startled when they heard the words, and they could only give their son a look that they had done their best at the same time.
