Wang and Li have such virtues, and her son is definitely not much better.
No matter how much she loves money, she has to give up her position in front of her son, right?
If something happens to her son, will she still be in the mood to be greedy for money?
Chu Ze laughed.
As for the Zhou and Chen family, they were a widow, and one person had enough to eat and the whole family was not hungry.
It's not difficult to control her.
That's it...
Ahem, he is doing all this for the sake of the people. He is also punishing evildoers. How can it be called a loss?
Chu Ze was confident.
The next day, a group of businessmen appeared in this small village.
This group of servants walked to the door of Mrs. Wang Li's house and knocked on the door: "Ms. Wang Li, we are county police officers. Your son has committed a crime. Come out immediately and follow us."
As soon as his voice fell, Wang Li quickly opened the door and walked out without even combing her hair.
"What did you say? Say it again!"
Her own son, she knew best.
Although this kid is out of character and not a good person, he doesn't dare to do things that violate laws and disciplines.
Why did you commit a crime?
Wang Li's first reaction was disbelief.
She looked at the few people questioningly and said, "You have found the wrong person, our son is not that kind of person."
"Your son's name is Wang Hai, right?" the official asked.
Wang Li nodded: "Yes."
"More than 20 years old, I still have a mole on my face." The official raised his hand and gestured to his face.
Wang Li's heart skipped a beat when she saw it.
Could something really happen to her son? !
Her son was her heart and soul. If something happened to her, she wouldn't be able to survive.
Mrs. Wang Li opened her mouth several times, tears streaming down her face. She obviously wanted to ask about her son's condition, but she couldn't say a word.
Seeing her like this, the official sighed softly and asked everyone to help Wang Li and take her away.
In a small village, news spreads fastest.
Wang Li was taken away, and the news spread in the village.
After everyone heard about it, they went to the county government office to watch the excitement.
Wang Li was brought to court.
At a glance, she saw Wang Hai, who had been beaten with a bruised nose and face, shivering and kneeling in the hall.
The man who was still weak just now broke away from the official's hand and rushed to Wang Hai. Looking at the injuries on his face, Wang Li's tears fell down.
"Son, what's going on with you?" Wang Li's fingers kept trembling, not daring to touch Wang Hai's face, for fear that she would accidentally touch his wound.
As Wang Hai grew up, he had never suffered such a crime.
Seeing his mother coming, Wang Hai immediately howled: "Mother! Mother, you are finally here. Mother, you have to beg for your son."
"Son, mother is here. Mother is here."
The mother and son hugged each other and cried.
Zhu Xi leaned over and whispered to Chu Ze, "I cried so miserably."
Chu Ze looked at the mother and son and thought to himself, what kind of tragedy is this? Let them cry even more later.
Chu Ze raised his head and gave the county master a look.
After receiving the hint, the county master was shocked and said solemnly: "The criminal Wang Hai and Shopkeeper Feng of Yunfan Gambling House are suing you for owing him five hundred taels of silver. Do you agree?"
Wang Li's body was shaken.
She raised her head with disbelief, looked at the county master, and widened her eyes: "How much do you think he owes?!"
Did she hear it wrong?
How could her son owe five hundred taels of silver?
Five hundred taels, even if you sell the two of them, you won't be able to get back so much money.
The county master said: "Shopkeeper Feng is suing your son. He gambled endlessly at his Yunfan gambling house last night. He borrowed five hundred taels of silver from him and agreed to repay it early this morning. This is an IOU." The county master handed over the IOU. Give it to the officer and ask him to show it to Wang Li.
Wang Li couldn't read the words, but the spectators could.
The officer held up the IOU and circulated it around the crowd. After confirming the error, he sent it back to the county master.
The county master took the IOU, pressed it on the table, and said, "Ms. Wang Li, do you have anything to say?"
When Mrs. Wang Li saw that no one had any doubts about the IOU, and then looked at her son's guilty look, she knew that the IOU was true.
Because of this, Wang Li's face turned pale.
"No, that's impossible!"
Although her son had gambled before, he had never gambled such a large sum of money.
Five hundred taels, money that they would never earn in their lifetimes.
This is fake, this must be fake!
As if grasping a life-saving straw, Mrs. Wang Li pointed at Shopkeeper Feng and said: "Sir, this IOU must have been forged by him. It is impossible for our son to borrow so much money from him! This is because he deliberately framed our son to save you. It’s the common people who decide!”
Shopkeeper Feng raised his eyebrows and snorted coldly: "I knew you, a woman, would say this. In addition to the IOU, we also have witnesses."
"Sir, please let our witness come to court."
After Shopkeeper Feng finished speaking, he looked at Wang Li with a mocking look.
Soon, witnesses came to the court.
"Who are you and what do you know? Tell me one by one," the county master said.
Several witnesses spoke one after another: "Sir, I am a clerk at Yunban Gambling House. Wang Hai is a frequent visitor to our gambling house. When he has nothing to do, he always comes to our gambling house to gamble a few times."
Wang Hai likes to gamble, but he has little money.
So the bet is not big every time.
I also owe money on weekdays.
But those amounts are small.
As the saying goes, nine times out of ten you bet, you lose.
Wang Hai has never won a few times since he learned to gamble.
But Wang Hai had great luck last night. He fired several leopards one after another and won a lot of money.
Wang Hai, who had never been defeated like this before, fell headlong into it.
But how good his luck was before, how bad it was afterwards.
He lost all the money he won.
Wang Hai was dumbfounded at the time.
Unwilling to do so, he wanted to continue gambling.
But at that time, he had lost all his principal, and he had no money to gamble at all.
So, he found Shopkeeper Feng again.
Wang Hai borrowed five hundred taels of silver and promised to return it to him before dawn.
Wang Hai was a regular customer, so Shopkeeper Feng borrowed it.
Unexpectedly, until dawn, Wang Hai not only failed to win, but also lost all the five hundred taels he borrowed.
When shopkeeper Feng asked for money, Wang Hai couldn't give it out and even beat people.
One of the boys pointed at his face and said to the county master: "Look, sir, this is the one who was beaten by Wang Hai." Wang Hai moved his hands, and the boys also moved their hands, beating the person and sending him to the government. .
After listening to these narrations, Mrs. Wang Li wished she could faint.
But Wang Hai still pinched her sleeves and cried with tears in his eyes: "Mom, you must save us, otherwise we will have to go to jail. Mom, my son doesn't want to go to jail!"
Wang Li was crying so much that her heart was broken.
But she couldn't get out five hundred taels of silver.
Mrs. Wang Li knelt on the ground and asked the county master choked with sobs: "What will happen if I still don't get it?"
The county master's face darkened and he said sternly: "Anyone who fails to repay his debts will be punished with a rod of sixty and two years in prison."
"If you hit me with these sixty sticks, tsk, I'm afraid it will be useless." Chu Ze interjected Youyou.
