Chapter 20 The Judgment of Shen County Magistrate
"Look at him like that, he's almost peeing his pants, obviously he's guilty, he's a thief!"

Before Shen Xi in court, or whoever said anything, the people outside had already reached a conclusion.

The cold sweat on the thief's forehead fell like a waterfall, his face was pale, and he stammered.

"I, I'm not a thief, I, I'm not a thief!"

Shen Chenchen raised his eyebrows and said, "Then you are going to accept the bet?"

After finishing speaking, he turned his head to look at Shen Xi and said, "My lord, since he is full of confidence, then we will set up a life and death certificate, and then the lord will execute it..."

"No!" Li Goudan subconsciously blurted out.

Oh, now, I'm completely exposed.

Shen Xi raised her eyebrows slightly, and looked at the brash girl kneeling below, with a faint smile on the corner of her mouth.

Master Yang Qing frowned, looking at Shen Chenchen with increasingly displeased eyes, this girl is not only brazen, but now she is also daring, without any respect for the adults.

This case should be judged by adults, but this girl judged the case herself, she doesn't understand the rules at all!

"Li Goudan, what else do you have to say? If you don't say anything, then I will take it as your consent. If it turns out that you are a thief, you will be punished a hundred times."

Shen Xi's tone was neither light nor heavy, but it had a majesty that could not be ignored by others.

Li Goudan's face turned pale in an instant, he himself lacked confidence, now that this lord seems to have listened to the words of a dead girl, how dare he persist?
Admit it, although it's not good, but it's better than suffering a hundred boards.

So, Li Goudan trembled like he was sifting chaff, and said tremblingly: "My lord, my villain, this villain admits that this villain is the thief. This villain is temporarily obsessed with ghosts, please forgive me!"

The onlookers all applauded, and the discussion became louder and louder, which was very lively.

"This girl is so smart, and my lord is also very fair and honest."

"Isn't this thief too careless?"

"What's not to scare, it's obviously a guilty conscience! Thieves don't try to please."

"That's right, when I see this thief in the future, it's shameless to beat him once. Fortunately, my lord is upright and upright, and this girl is not stupid, otherwise I'm afraid I will be tricked today."

"That's right, I was almost led astray by that bastard. He said plausibly on the street. I really thought that girl was a thief. Now it's good. Finally, the girl is innocent."

"However, if the man is a thief, then the ten taels of silver is really the girl's dowry. That girl's parents really dote on her."

"It's not bad, I was really born in Fuwowo. I looked at it wearing patches and patching, but I didn't expect to be spoiled by my parents. This is not bad..."

Shen Chenchen just listened to the discussion outside, it was just a group of spectators anyway.

Shen Xi also felt that she had judged a farce, but it was also interesting, so she patted the gavel at her side again, and said in a serious tone.

"Come on, since Li Goudan admitted that he stole the silver, since the amount involved in the case is full of ten taels, Li Goudan still beat him up, which is bad in nature. A ten board, and then another year of corvée, if you commit the crime again, you will be dealt with severely!"

Li Goudan originally wanted to intercede when he heard that he would be fined as a corvee, but he didn't dare to say anything when he heard the back, he could only look terrified, but kept his mouth tightly shut, allowing the two yamen servants to drag him down.

Just when he was placed on the bench, Li Goudan's skin collapsed, his face was pale, and the common people could see clearly.

After a while, the county government remembered the man's shrill cry.

"Ouch! It hurts me to death, ouch..."

The spanking on the buttocks should not be underestimated. The man shouted louder and louder, but the strength of the spank became heavier and heavier.

When the ten sticks were over, the man's ass was bleeding, and he was dragged down immediately. When the injury was almost healed, he had to be thrown into a year of corvee labor.

Shen Xi looked at Shen Chenchen who was still kneeling on the ground, this girl looked very calm, she didn't seem to be afraid at all.

A little village girl was able to be so calm when she came to the court, which caught Shen Xi's attention.

Shen Chenchen had no opinion on this punishment, looking at the county magistrate above the court, Shen Chenchen sincerely thanked him.

"Thank you, my lord, for seeking justice for the grassroots."

There was a cool smile on the corner of Shen Xi's mouth, and then he glanced at Yang Qing next to him, Yang Qing moved his head tacitly.

Shen Xi said something in his ear, Yang Qing heard the words, glanced at Shen Chenchen with displeasure, then got up and walked to a yamen servant, said something, the yamen servant took a few people to the outside of the county government office and began to drive him away. people.

"Okay, okay, today's case is over, let's all go back."

"Don't look at it, the case is over, live a good life in the future, if you dare to do anything sneaky, today will be the end!"

The common people all pay attention to the fact that one person does not fight with the officials, and now seeing the vicious yamen servants come out, they dare not go any further, and honestly scattered in all directions.

There were only two little buns holding hands, although they were nervous, they still stood firmly at the door.

Shen Chenchen also saw something, and said to Shen Xi: "Those two children are my younger siblings, please don't embarrass them, sir, and do you have something to tell me?"

Shen Xi raised her eyebrows, and said with a half smile but not a smile: "How can you see that?"

Hearing this, Shen Chenchen also pretended to be stupid, standing up while cupping his hands to Shen Xi.

"Since this is the case, it is the grass-roots being self-indulgent. Thank you, my lord, for clearing up the grievances of the grass-roots today. The grass-roots will leave."

Shen Chenchen was about to leave after speaking.

"Did I let you go?" Shen Xi's tone was a little displeased, and she stopped Shen Chenchen.

Shen Chenchen didn't intend to leave either. This was the second time she had contact with adults. If she wanted to open a medical clinic, it would be useful to know more important people.

What's more, if she can really cure the county magistrate, she can become a hit in Qinghe County, gain a reputation, open a medical clinic, isn't it like a cloud?

Bah, bah, bah, business is booming!
Seeing Shen Chenchen's performance, Shen Xi also rested and continued his thoughts, clapped his hands, and the two little buns outside were brought in.

As soon as the little buns came in, they rushed in front of Shen Chenchen. Shen Chenchen hurriedly protected the two children in his arms like a hen guarding chickens, and then looked at Shen Xi and asked.

"Your Excellency, just ask if you have anything to say, the grass people will know everything."

Shen Xi squinted her eyes and chose a comfortable position to sit on the chair.

Yang Qing had already returned to Shen Xi's side at some point, looking at Shen Chenchen with deep inquiry.

Shen Xi said quietly: "If I remember correctly, your name should be Shen Chenchen, right?"
