Traveling through the famine, she became rich by live-streaming her medical skills

Chapter 19
Li Goudan burst into tears: "My lord, this female thief stole my silver abruptly, and even turned black and white, saying that I was a thief and stole her silver."

"There are ten taels of silver in my purse, that's my selling money! I beg you to make the decision, punish this thief well, return the villain's money to the villain, and let the villain be filial to his parents!"

Shen Chenchen glanced at the thief next to him who called himself Li Goudan, feeling very helpless in his heart. Unexpectedly, this thief is quite good at acting, and knows how to play the sympathy card?
What about filial piety to parents, there is an eighty-year-old mother on the top, and a three-year-old baby on the bottom. I don’t know how many villains have said it in order to reduce their punishment.

"What about you? What he said is true."

Without the slightest emotion, Shen Xi directly threw a question.

Now, Shen Chenchen finally found the right opportunity to speak. When Shen Xi's voice fell, Shen Chenchen raised his face and pretended not to be familiar, looking at the county magistrate on the stage and said.

"My lord, the ten taels of silver belong to me, and the purse is also mine. Originally, I was taking my younger siblings to buy rice at the rice store, but who knew, when I was about to get the silver, I was hit by this thief. Then my purse was taken away by him."

"After I found out, I chased after him. When I caught up, I naturally wanted to get the purse back. But I didn't expect that the thief was so cunning. He robbed the silver and checked the amount. Only then did I know that there were ten taels of silver in the purse."

"However, I just exchanged these ten taels of silver back from the bank, which is considered evidence. If you don't believe me, you can send someone to the bank to find a buddy. I have been there just now, and those people should know me."

After Shen Chenchen's words fell, Li Goudan looked shocked. He obviously didn't expect Shen Chenchen to hide such a hole card. He was really careless!
However, this shocked expression was only for a moment, and the man restrained himself, and then frantically thought of countermeasures in his heart.

No, don't panic.

Maybe this girl is talking nonsense, there are no witnesses at all, she is deliberately defrauding herself.

Thinking about it this way, the thief calmed down a little bit. Although he was a little guilty, he started to cry.

"My lord! The villain has just returned to his hometown. I didn't expect to encounter this kind of thing as soon as I came back. This girl might be with the people from the bank. What kind of banker is not trustworthy at all. My lord must give the villain Make the decision!"

Shen Chenchen squinted his eyes, this bastard started to stir up the muddy water again, but he didn't know how the county magistrate would judge him.

The county government fell into silence for a while, and the people who were blocked outside the government also began to discuss.

"The two sides say that the public is right, and the mother-in-law says that the mother is right. It's really hard to judge."

"What's wrong with judgment? Let me tell you, that girl looks like a liar. After all, she said that the ten taels of silver was the dowry money her parents saved for her. Which family would be willing to give out ten taels of silver to marry a girl?" dowry?"

"Yeah, I'm afraid some people can't even spend ten taels of gift money? This is too ridiculous."

"Even if it's unlikely...it doesn't mean she's lying, maybe it's true? Maybe it's someone who loves her daughter?"

"Let me say, that man doesn't look like a good thing, a big man is crying, I think it looks like a faux pas!"

"People have said that the ten taels of silver is money for prostitution. Maybe it's wandering outside. People leave their hometowns and are humble. It's inevitable. If you want to see the county magistrate, I'm afraid it won't be much better."

"What do you mean? Why are you dragging me into other people's cases?"

"What's the sudden excitement? I'm not targeting you, I'm just seeking truth from facts."

The commentators gradually deviated from the topic, and after a while, there was a lot of noise outside the yamen, which was very annoying.

Shen Chenchen knelt under the courtroom, the corners of her mouth twitched, she understood that these people were not here to uphold justice, but to watch the excitement.

Apart from myself and the thief, the only one who could really speak to this matter was the county magistrate in court.

Thinking of this, Shen Chenchen put the words of the people outside into his left ear and out of his right ear, ignoring the crying beside him, but raised his face to look at Shen Xi, and said seriously.

"My lord, I'm afraid this thief is a habitual offender. He keeps disturbing the water again and again. He said that the people from the bank are with me. Why don't you ask your lord to invite him here."

As he said that, before Shen Xi could speak, Shen Chenchen gave Li Goudan a cold look at the side, and said with a half-smile.

"I have a clear conscience, and if you have a clear conscience, why don't we take a gamble, if it turns out that I am a thief, I am willing to give you the ten taels of silver, and I am willing to pay fifty taels of silver, and the adults will pay for it."

As soon as these words came out, Li Goudan's face changed slightly.

The onlookers all screamed.

"Fifty boards? This is to kill people!"

"Is this girl crazy? You still bet, and you can't bet with your life."

Shen Xi who was sitting in the courtroom had the same thought, but although he was surprised, he was also curious about what Shen Chenchen said later, the girl obviously didn't finish her sentence.

So, Shen Xi patted the gavel and said seriously: "Silence!"

For a while, the court was quiet again, and the common people did not dare to talk too much.

Shen Chenchen looked at Li Goudan with a smile and continued: "But if you lose, I don't want you to compensate me for the money. You only need to be willing to suffer a hundred boards, and you don't need to be punished by adults. If you can survive If you don't die with a hundred boards, I can give you another ten taels of silver, what do you think?"

Although Shen Chenchen was smiling, Li Goudan looked at her as if he was looking at the king of Hades.

I'm afraid this wild girl is really crazy!

Either crazy, or full of confidence.

The thief hesitated for a moment, he hesitated entirely because of Shen Chenchen's bet.

If he refuses to agree, it will show that he is guilty, but if he agrees... In the end, the evidence is sufficient and he is really convicted, then he will suffer a hundred punishments!

Even if the adults don't deal with him in the end, but if the hundred boards go down, his life will definitely be lost.

If he doesn't agree, even if the evidence proves that he is a thief, it is impossible to kill him.

To promise or not to promise?

The thief was sweating coldly on his forehead, unable to make a decision for a long time.

Shen Chenchen looked at him calmly, and the situation was reversed all of a sudden, comparing the two, anyone with eyes could see which was right and which was wrong.

Now, Shen Xi didn't need to say anything, the people outside were all aware of the tricks.

"Why didn't that man talk anymore? If you have a clear conscience, then accept the bet."

"Yeah, I thought that girl was crazy just now, but now, it's obviously a smart move!"

"If that man is not guilty, he just agrees, why is he still hesitating and hesitant?"
