Chapter 18
Shen Chenchen said convincingly: "After the thief stole my silver, it's not surprising that he could know the amount inside after taking a look at it. This doesn't prove that the ten taels of silver belong to him."

Everyone turned their finger on the man again.

The man is really thick-skinned, even if he is refuted by Shen Chenchen, he is still like a showman, with snot and tears, he is obviously a big man, but he pretends to be a poor wretch.

He pointed to Shen Chenchen and said, "You, why are you so shameless, girl? Pity me for working so hard for so many years. The ten taels of silver is my selling money. I just came back from Jiangnan and was about to get married. Take the silver and go back to honor your parents."

"But you are good, just stole my money like this, and now it is still your dowry money, little girl, you are poor but you can't be short-sighted, look at your clothes, patch and patch."

"Hmph, it's not that I look down on you. Your family's situation is probably not good. How could your parents be willing to save a dowry of ten taels of silver for you? You have to find a better excuse for deceiving people!"

As soon as these words came out, it aroused the resonance of many people.

Patriarchal, this is common sense nowadays, and people don't think it is patriarchal.

After all, in the eyes of most people, when a daughter grows up, she will marry someone else, and she will be raised by someone else's family. After she gets married, the gift money is about the same, so how could she give her money away?

Giving a dowry is a respectable custom only for wealthy families. How can a farmer from a small family and a mud-legged background have such extravagant ideas?
It can't be called luxury, it's just stupid!
Everyone thought this way, so they started discussing like this, Shen Chenchen became even more ghostly when he heard it, and at the same time gave the thief a high look.

It seems that he is a habitual offender. He is so good at acting, and he doesn't know how many times he has succeeded.

Once being disturbed by this man, his chances of winning will be much smaller. After thinking about it, Shen Chenchen simply said loudly.

"Okay, I didn't expect you, a thief, to be so eloquent. Since you said the money was yours and I said it was mine, none of us can convince the other. I believe that everyone here has doubts."

"Ten taels of silver is not a small amount. I have a clear conscience, so I suggest that we go directly to the county government and ask the county magistrate to uphold justice?"

After Shen Chenchen finished speaking, he lifted his chin slightly, looked at the thief opposite, and indeed saw a trace of panic in the other's eyes.

But soon, the man seemed to have made a decision, and said with an expression filled with righteous indignation.

"Okay! Then let the county magistrate make the decision, little girl, when you arrive at the county government, you can stop sophistry, and be careful that the county magistrate beats you!"

Shen Chenchen was almost laughed out of anger again, this thief is really daring, he dares to scare her when it comes to this?
If she was really just a little village girl who had never seen the world, she might still be intimidated by the other party's words, but who wouldn't Shen Chenchen be?

Shen Chenchen snorted coldly while holding the purse, then cupped his hands at the passers-by around him.

"Very good, this thief is very courageous, everyone has just witnessed everything, and please go to the county government to be a witness for me, I also want to see how this thief can quibble in front of the county magistrate!"

"elder sister!"

"Sister, are you okay?"

Suddenly, two milky voices sounded, and Shen Chenchen heard the words and looked, and saw two little buns, holding hands, squeezed out of the crowd, and then ran towards her quickly.

Only then did Shen Chenchen remember that he left his younger siblings to wait in front of the rice shop.

Seeing them coming, I couldn't help scolding them: "Why are you here? Didn't you tell you to wait for me? What if you get lost?"

Shen Xiaobao and Shen Xiaomeng pulled Shen Chenchen, and said worriedly: "Sister, are you going to the county government office?"

Shen Chenchen nodded when he heard the words, looked at the thick-skinned thief opposite and said.

"Of course, there is a shameless bastard who wants to take our money. We have to ask the county magistrate to make the decision for us. Don't worry, so many uncles, aunts, brothers and sisters are watching for us, and the thief will definitely not let go."

What Shen Chenchen said was full of confidence, and the people watching were also a little shaken, looking at the man with a little suspicion.

Although the man was a little guilty, but he thought that this girl probably didn't have any evidence, otherwise she would have said it long ago.

In this way, go and go, if you win, you will get ten taels of silver for nothing, and the worst case is only fifty taels of silver each.

After all, no one has evidence, and the county magistrate doesn't have that much time to spend on the two of them.

The man is indeed a habitual offender, he is very familiar with this kind of thing, he glanced at Shen Chenchen with a little complacency in his eyes, and then he followed Shen Chenchen to the county government with the crowd of onlookers.

"mighty--"

In the lobby of the county government office, the atmosphere was solemn and tense, accompanied by the mighty voices of the officials on both sides.

Shen Chenchen and the man went straight in. As for Shen Xiaobao and Shen Xiaomeng, they were stopped outside, holding hands, looking at their sister worriedly, their little faces flushed red with nervousness.

"Xiaobao, is sister okay?"

"I don't know, but my sister is very smart, so nothing will happen. Didn't that bad guy, Mrs. Liu, also get beaten? This time, my sister can beat the bad guy too!"

The two little buns discussed in a low voice.

But at this time in the courtroom, Shen Xi put on an official uniform, walked up to her seat from behind, glanced at the people below, and immediately recognized the brazen girl in Donglu Village.

When Master Yang Qing saw Shen Chenchen, his eyebrows twitched, his eyes were full of inquiry, what's the matter?
"Bang" sound.

Shen Xi sat down and patted the gavel directly.

Although Shen Chenchen was a little reluctant, he still knelt down, and the man next to him knelt down even faster.

With a pitiful expression, he directly showed his thigh hugging on his face, and continued to steal the show brazenly.

"My lord! I beg you to make the decision for the villain, my lord!"

Shen Xi looked at the crying man, frowned slightly, and glanced at Shen Chenchen with her long and narrow eyes, she was surprised to find that the girl was so calm.

However, his face was cold and his face was too pale due to illness. At this moment, he looked like a pedestrian iceberg. When he opened his mouth, the surrounding people subconsciously fell silent.

"Who is in the hall? Report your name, who will sue whom?"

Shen Chenchen licked his lips, looked at the county magistrate who pretended to be unfamiliar with him, and was about to speak, but was preempted by the man next to him.

The thief said loudly: "My lord! The villain's name is Li Goudan. He just returned to his hometown from Jiangnan today. He brought ten taels of money to sell himself. He wanted to go back to his hometown to be filial to his parents, but for some reason, he was stared at by this female thief." superior."
