Chapter 527 Fifty boards
Magistrate Zhao stared at Chen Shi, and slowly said: "Then Chen Shi, why did you send someone to defile Jiang Yi? As far as I know, you didn't have any grudges with Jiang Yi before."
Chen still lowered her head and said: "Because I think Jiang Yi has been getting too close to Zhou Zhongming recently, if this continues, Jiang Yi may have a relationship with Zhou Zhongming, and they will fall in love for a long time, and Zhou Zhongming is my daughter. Look at it first, of course I can't just sit idly by, so I asked Chen Asi to humiliate Jiang Yi, so that she would never have the courage to appear in front of Zhou Zhongming again, so that Zhou Zhongming could only belong to my daughter."
Li Hexiang froze when she heard this, her eyes were full of shock, she didn't expect her mother to take the blame for herself, she prayed silently in her heart, hoping that the county magistrate would let them go, but she was too scared to say anything , I could only kneel on the ground and weep for my mother.
Mrs. Chen's remarks were well-organized, as if it was true. Some villagers who were watching felt very reasonable after hearing it, and started discussing it in a hurry.
"I think so too. This Mrs. Chen is small-minded, so it's normal for her to do this."
"I already guessed that she did it. Fortunately, she still has a conscience and didn't let her daughter take the blame for her."
"I don't think her daughter is a good thing, maybe she planned it together."
However, some villagers said with suspicion: "This Chen family usually treasures her daughter the most. This is her family's only seedling. Things have gone to this point. If she doesn't take the blame for her daughter, the one who will be punished is She has a daughter, what if she is directly beaten to death?"
Someone took pleasure in other people's misfortune: "Hey, her family will never be the same again. I have to say, this Chen family is quite smart, but it's a pity that she has a stupid daughter."
County magistrate Zhao clapped his hands and shouted loudly: "Quiet!"
At the same time, he looked at Jiang Yi who was at the side, meaning what to do now. After all, Jiang Yi had greeted him before.
Jiang Yi glanced at the Chen mother and daughter standing in the center, and felt that everyone died the same, so she gave County Magistrate Zhang a look, and she didn't care, the person who was boarded was everyone among them.
Anyway, she just wanted to kill someone to relieve her anger, whether it was Chen Shi or Li Hexiang.
County magistrate Zhang received Jiang Yi's gaze, but he still hesitated. He pointed to Chen Shi secretly, and looked at Jiang Yi again.
Glanced at Mrs. Chen, Jiang Yi also felt that Mrs. Chen was usually annoying, and like a mother, like a daughter, she nodded to County Magistrate Zhang, saying yes.
County magistrate Zhang got Jiang Yi's permission, pretended to be a fair and honest judge again, patted the chopping board, and said: "Since Mrs. Chen, you voluntarily pleaded guilty, come here—to drag Mrs. Chen down and hit you with 50 boards!"
Hearing this, Mrs. Chen trembled all over, raised her head and no longer had the courage to beg for mercy.
She knew that if she didn't take the blame for her daughter this time, then her daughter would be finished. Immediately, she closed her eyes, and wept bitterly on the ground.
Li Hexiang, who was kneeling in the middle of the courtroom, also heard Zhang County Magistrate's words, and her face was covered with tears and snot. She said loudly: "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Dare, I beg you to spare my mother... I beg you..."
County magistrate Zhang took the chopping board again and shouted loudly: "This county magistrate is the most fair. If you spare your mother this time, how will others think of this county magistrate? If you keep messing around, I will beat you together!"
