In the book, I was fed by my sister

After Li Wanshu finished speaking, there were a few more voices of agreement on the field.

This is roughly how the sentencing was for cases of assault with objects in the past.

“Can a clam shell be considered a sharp blade?”

"Why not? How can a bare-handed person cause such injuries?"

"That's true. If we beat her with forty sticks, she would be almost crippled. It would prevent her from running around the village like a madman and hurting other people."

Li Wanshu was very satisfied with the voice he heard now. He was intoxicated by this little power. Although the village chief was not an official, he liked the feeling of being able to control the fate of others. What difference did it make to be an official or not? At least it was much better than those lackeys in the county government.

He was about to speak, but asked his nephew Bai Xiuwen to write it down.

Bai Xiuwen, who wrote the trial paper and was one of the 13 judges, put down his pen and said, "I have a different opinion."

Li Wanshu was a little stunned. He thought that this matter would end simply like usual. He patiently asked, "Oh? What do you think?"

"Female Li Baomai has no virtue as a woman and is guilty of seduction!"

The field immediately exploded with all kinds of discussions.

Bai Xiuwen's words were almost squeezed out from between his teeth. He had recently fallen into trouble with a woman and lost face. Now he was feeling unhappy and needed a place to vent his anger.

"Fool, how could a fool understand? The punishment for the crime of seduction is too severe." Someone in the crowd shook his head and sighed, "It's hard to say, he might even lose his head."

Bai Xiuwen glanced coldly at the person who spoke, then turned to Wu Yinhong, his eyes full of malice. "Then tell me, it's not seduction? Then it's adultery!"

Wu Yinhong felt the coldness and was shocked. She immediately understood Bai Xiuwen's intention. This bastard wanted to take revenge on her for spreading gossip about him in the village.

If someone commits adultery, both the adulterer and the adulteress will be punished.

She would not be led by Bai Xiuwen. Li Manpeng was a piece of shit anyway, it would be better if he died. She wanted to clean it up. She just wanted the money. Who would compensate her?

"You are a scholar at least, but you said such insulting things. My son Man Peng is still lying in bed, and he still doesn't have the strength to talk about what happened last night. This idiot can't even speak coherently, so why are you so sure? You said something that is fatal."

After Wu Yinhong finished talking to Bai Xiuwen, she continued to talk to Li Wanshu: "You are the head of our Lihua Village, our father and mother. No matter what the verdict is, I will accept it. I just hope that the money can be settled. My whole family is waiting for this money to save their lives. Doctor Qin, you are also a doctor, you know best, lying in the clinic for a day, the money will flow like water."

Wu Yinhong burst into tears as she spoke, and her children and daughters behind her also cried together.

After hearing these words, many people present had tears in their eyes.

Li Wanshu frowned, turned to the big men next to him and said, "Please invite Li Baomai's relatives up."

After a while, several big men pulled up a large group of people.

The leaders were an old man and an old woman, and two middle-aged men, all of whom looked unhappy. Looking at this situation, one could imagine how much effort it took to "invite" this group of people.

Li Wanshudao said to the visitor, "Li Baomai injured someone and deserved the punishment, but he has no ability to pay. As his relatives, you should bear this responsibility."

The skinny old man standing in the middle sat on the floor as soon as he came in. He had a pipe in his hand, and every time Li Wanshu said something, he would take a puff of smoke, filling the small room with smoke.

After Li Wanshu finished speaking, the old man slowly said: "What does this woman's murder have to do with us?" This man was Damai's grandfather.

"As Li Baomai's blood relatives, shouldn't you be held responsible for this?"

"Hey! That's not right. How can you be related? Village chief, have you forgotten that it was you who made the decision to separate our family?" The old man looked like a rogue and tried to sever the relationship with just two sentences.

Wu Yinhong cried out, "Oh, this won't do! Li Peishan, that person lying there is your own granddaughter!"

Li Peishan didn't even look at the person tied up on the ground, and said with a smile: "You say it's a relative? How can you prove that it's our child?"

"You!" Wu Yinhong had never expected to meet such a scoundrel. "If she isn't your granddaughter, why does Zhou Huixin run to that idiot every now and then?"

The surrounding villagers also echoed: "Yes, we all saw it. They were either delivering food or helping with bathing."

Li Peishan suddenly raised his pipe and hit Zhou Huixin's head twice, scolding: "We are the landlords! We feed all the cats and dogs. If you have too much to eat, just don't eat it anymore."

The tip of the pipe was made of copper. When it hit Zhou Huixin's head, it hurt everyone who saw it.

Zhou Huixin didn't even try to hide, she just shuddered and buried her head even lower, making it impossible to see her expression.

"What a heartless person! Why did Huixin follow a bastard like Li Peishan? Now her life has been wasted like this." Outside the hall, Grandma Gu saw Mu and cursed Li Peishan.

She and Zhou Huixin were married into Lihua Village almost at the same time. They were of similar age and could talk to each other. They became familiar with each other. Later, she learned that Zhou Huixin's family was quite wealthy and lived in a two-story house in the city. With such a background, she should have lived a good life, but she didn't expect to live like this now.

Inside the hall, Li Peishan continued to speak shamelessly: "Just because they feed you makes you my family? Then why doesn't Li Bingfa go there more often? Maybe he is from his family!" His words became more and more outrageous, with no regard for the feelings of other people present.

When Li Zi heard her father's name mentioned, her heart tightened and she looked around hastily. Fortunately, her father and mother were not here.

Li Wanshu said with a sullen face, "Don't make trouble. No matter what, you can't do anything about it after the report is made to the government." He glanced at Bai Xiuwen, signaling him not to continue making trouble, and then continued, "Sentence Li Baomai to injure someone with a knife. The punishment shall be borne by himself, and he shall personally bear the medical expenses of the injured. What do you think? Let's vote by raising our hands."

"But I think Uncle Man Peng is a little strange." Song Li's voice rang out.

The four-year-old child's voice fell into the noisy scene, unable to stir up any waves. After hearing it, Song Ran asked in a low voice: "What's wrong, Xiaoguai?"

Li Zi blushed and shouted, "Da Mai is right! The weird one is Uncle Man Peng!"

"Da Mai never hits anyone, we are the ones who bully her every time! The weird one is Uncle Man Peng!" Li Rongrong also stood up and looked at her father eagerly.

"Yes! Damai never hits anyone, the weird one is Uncle Manpeng!"

More and more girls are coming out to defend Li Baomai.

The adults finally noticed what the children were shouting.

strange?

Everyone present was thinking in a mixed mood.

Why is it strange?

It's really strange that a man ran out of a woman's house late at night!

This idea gradually spread among people, especially women, who were particularly sensitive to these things. But they had never expressed it, and now it was shouted out from the mouths of children, making them shudder: this Li Manpeng attacked the fool, and there was no guarantee that he would not hurt his own girl.

The tide of the crowd began to turn.

"Why is Li Manpeng sneaking into someone else's house so late at night?"

"I think you are bullying this fool. He doesn't know anything and has no one to back him up."

"Then he deserves this injury!"

Bai Xiuwen heard the discussion and sneered, "It's really strange. It was just this woman who seduced Li Manpeng, and Li Manpeng couldn't control himself. In my opinion, she should be punished for adultery."

"Well, what Bai Tongsheng said makes sense."

The wind direction in the crowd changed so quickly that everyone just followed the crowd and the small waves that had just risen were immediately overturned. Now they started discussing the crime of adultery again.

Song Li stared at Bai Xiuwen outside the hall, her heart filled with anger. She had let this man escape before, but she didn't expect him to come out and mess things up again.

Li Wanshu also heard the voices in the crowd and frowned. He had discussed this with Wu Yinhong. Wu Yinhong only wanted money, and he didn't want to do things too radically, lest she bring up the past and put him in the spotlight.

But at this point, the situation was a little out of control. He glanced at a few people and said, "Since everyone has two opinions, in order to prevent the matter from being dragged on, let's punish them according to the two crimes. Those who think Li Baomai has injured someone with an object, raise your hands."

The people present began to vote by raising their hands, and a total of six people, including Li Wanshu, raised their hands.

Wu Yinhong turned pale when she saw this. She knew that if the remaining seven people thought Li Manpeng was wrong, she would not get the money.

"Raise your hands if you agree that both of them committed adultery."

Li Rongrong and Li Baomei prayed nervously, hoping that their father would not raise his hand.

Bai Xiuwen was a little proud. He thought that based on the fact that six people had raised their hands just now, the remaining six people would definitely stand on his side.

However, the result was beyond his expectations.

"Three people in total!" Li Wanshu announced.

"What!" Bai Xiuwen was surprised.

Bai Xiuwen was stunned, he couldn't believe his ears. He looked around and saw Doctor Qin, Master Zhu, Li Shubin and Li Fuchang.

But even so, the forty boards could not be avoided.

Now, the ending seems to be certain.

Song Li felt a little disappointed. She had originally thought that the children's words would have an effect, but now it seemed that nothing had changed.

She looked at Damai and said silently in her heart: Wait for me to rescue you at night, and as long as I can send you into the mountains, I will protect you.

Li Wanshu glanced at his nephew, then announced the result: "Li Baomai is convicted of assault with an object! If there is no objection, he will be escorted to the government and the verdict will be handed over!"

"I object!" a woman's voice rang out from outside the hall.
