"My wife is of high status, why can't you just take a body test just because she wants to?"
Lin Wanjie is still supporting.
Although Xiaolian cannot directly determine the case as a witness.
But now it's the eldest lady's turn to prove herself.
Lin Wanjie's defense seemed weak.
The prefect said solemnly: "Since it is a physical examination, I should invite someone who can convince the public and keep Mrs. Xiao's reputation."
After thinking for a while, the prefect ordered again: "Invite the little fairy doctor to come and examine Mrs. Xiao's body. I believe no one will have any objections, right?"
"Little medical fairy?"
Lin Wanjie frowned, who is this person?
But looking at the expressions of the people around, it was obvious that they had great trust in the Little Medical Fairy. They all said that as long as the Little Medical Fairy comes, they can tell the truth with just one look.
"Just wait, the results will come out soon, and we'll see if you can still smile by then."
Wang Xiaoning was very proud, the feeling of being saved from a desperate situation was written all over his face, and he no longer had the fearful and uneasy look before.
Lin Wanjie was thinking about it. He was unprepared for the sudden change. If he went on like this, what would he do if something really went wrong?
What a shame, Xiao Lian, for stabbing Madam in the back at a critical moment.
Thinking about this, Lin Wanjie returned to his wife and whispered: "Madam, if some little fairy doctor comes later, just pretend to be fainted. With my wife's injuries, I wonder which doctor dares to touch her."
"is this okay?"
"The expedient is to delay the time first, and then there will be a way to change."
The eldest lady nodded. As long as Lin Da is here, everything will be obeyed by Lin Da. That's right.
Everyone is waiting for the little fairy doctor to arrive.
While waiting, Lin Wanjie learned from the comments of people outside that this "little medical fairy" had just been in Yangzhou for more than a month, but he had cured many difficult and complicated diseases. Many elderly doctors were not as good as her. . Moreover, he is a philanthropic person with very little medical fees and often gives alms to beggars and poor people. In just one month, he became a household name.
Lin Wanjie was still wondering who this person could be, but the official had already invited him.
Lin Wanjie was stunned when he saw the so-called "little medical fairy".
Isn't this that girl Xue Lingzhi?
More than a month ago, I met him in Daqingshan and was coerced by the White Lotus Sect, forcing Doctor Xue to hand over the malaria prescription.
Lin Wanjie didn't know what happened next.
Unexpectedly, she actually arrived in Yangzhou City and was known as the Little Medical Fairy. Could it be that this girl has inherited the mantle of Doctor Xue and started consulting on her own?
At this age, he is really too young.
Xue Lingzhi also saw Lin Wanjie and was also stunned on the spot with eyes full of surprise.
"Little Medical Fairy, my lord is waiting for you." The official said politely.
Xue Lingzhi saw Lin Wanjie shaking her head slightly, but she didn't say anything and continued to follow the official to the court.
"Little Medical Fairy, I need your help."
"Sir, please speak."
Xue Lingzhi responded, but his eyes wandered in all directions, looking at everything around him and trying to guess what happened.
"Whether this Mrs. Xiao is perfect or not, I need you to make a final judgment."
"Mrs. Xiao..."
Xue Lingzhi's eyes fell on the scarred eldest lady, and she was shocked.
"Why do you need a physical examination?" Xue Lingzhi asked.
"The little medical fairy can take care of the official business, and someone will explain it to you later."
This case had been delayed for a long time, and the prefect didn't want to continue to entangle it, so he started urging it.
Although we have only been away for a month, Xue Lingzhi seems to have matured a lot at this time. He nodded calmly and said: "Since I want to have a physical examination, please give me a separate room, madam, to be alone with me."
This request was a matter of course, and the prefect agreed on the spot.
Lin Wanjie breathed a sigh of relief. As long as he could be alone with the eldest lady, he would have a chance to communicate.
Xue Lingzhi will definitely help the eldest lady to tide over the difficulties.
There will definitely be no more surprises.
Xiao Yuchan helped her mother to an empty room in the prefect's Yamen and came out quickly.
People from the Wang family and Wu family are full of confidence, and the final result will be known soon.
As long as the eldest lady is proven innocent, the Xiao family mother and daughter will become the biggest joke.
"As the eldest lady of the Xiao family, she has been clean for sixteen years? Hahahaha... She is simply unruly. No wonder she can dominate and dominate the Xiao family. It turns out that she is not even allowed to touch the men of her own family. !”
Wang Xiaoning laughed loudly, now was her proudest time.
Mr. Wang shouted in a low voice: "Can you say hello?"
"Why can't you say it? He dared to sue, why didn't I dare to say it? This Miss Xiao family is even more ridiculous. She is just a bastard picked up from outside, but she still has a good life. If she hadn't been picked up by the Xiao family, she wouldn't be here now. Do you know if you have starved to death? She obviously had a low life, but she managed to become a young lady from a wealthy family. If it hadn’t been for this time, she would have really deceived everyone in the world."
After hearing Wang Xiaoning's provocation again, Lin Wanjie calmed down.
Because we already know the outcome and how miserable she will be later.
So I just closed my eyes.
Wang Xiaoning was ignored, and suddenly he became even more angry, and his words became more and more vicious: "The Xiao family is now wanted by the court, you should not be alive in the world! Just wait, when this matter is over, I will sue you. "
The Xiao family is wanted, but only in Hangzhou.
Moreover, the Hangzhou Yamen was also pretentious. After the Xiao family members were sent out of Hangzhou, they went to their own places.
The eldest lady was redeemed after being sold, and her identity has changed. She belongs to Lin Wanjie. Although she is a slave, she is not a criminal.
On the other hand, Lin Wanjie and Xiao Yuchan may be arrested, but it is only a matter for the Hangzhou prefect and has nothing to do with the Yangzhou prefect.
If you want to arrest him, you need an official document from the court.
The Metropolitan Procuratorate already knew that the Xiao family had been wronged and would obviously not continue to pursue the case, so the official documents from the court would never come. As long as they stayed in Yangzhou, Lin Wanjie and her party would be safe.
Wang Xiaoning continued to yell, and even the eldest lady got tired of hearing it, so she covered her ears and closed her eyes.
Wang Xiaoning still wanted to say something, but the gavel sounded, and the prefect scolded: "Quiet."
Immediately afterwards, the door opened and Xue Lingzhi walked out alone.
"Little Medical Fairy, how are you? Tell everyone, is the eldest lady of the Xiao family innocent?"
Wang Xiaoning was very anxious.
Xiao Yuchan didn't want to hear the result, so she ran to the room to see her mother's condition.
Xue Lingzhi went to the court, bowed her hands to the magistrate, and said, "Sir, Mrs. Xiao's body has been proven."
"how?"
"Mrs. Xiao is not a perfect woman, she is already a woman."
"What?"
Everyone at the scene spoke in unison, almost thundering.
Judging from the progress of the case, most people thought that the eldest lady was still intact, thus proving that Miss Wang Jia's statement was correct.
But who could have imagined that the final result would be reversed.
"How could it be? I have seen thousands of women, but Mrs. Xiao is just a virgin!"
"The little medical fairy has said it, how can I be wrong? After all, you are a doctor, and others are doctors?"
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, this Mrs. Xiao is so smart. She pretended to be a virgin and almost deceived all of us."
As soon as this matter comes out, the news about the eldest lady will definitely spread further and further in Yangzhou City. Although it sounds unpleasant to say, it is good to be able to overcome the difficulty.
"Hey, why do I feel like I've seen this Mrs. Xiao somewhere?"
"where?"
"She looks similar to Miss Shishi, who is very famous recently!"
"Pfft! Are you mentally ill? Can Mrs. Xiao have any relationship with Miss Shishi?"
"Miss Shishi has been redeemed with fifty thousand taels of silver. Look at this down-and-out family who looks like they can afford fifty thousand taels of silver."
"What the hell? Fifty thousand taels!"
The surrounding discussions are getting further and further. Under the court, the Wang family and the Wu family are indeed in chaos.
"Impossible! Do you know how to read it?"
Wang Xiaoning's eyes turned red, and he took a step forward to grab Xue Lingzhi's collar.
Lin Wanjie took a step forward and looked in front of Xue Lingzhi.
Wang Xiaoning was so frightened by this idiot that he took two steps back and almost fell down.
Before I understood what was going on here, there was another crisp sound coming from the side.
Mr. Wu grabbed Xiaolian and slapped her hard: "Bitch, are you sincerely asking me to make a fool of myself?"
Xiaolian didn't understand either. This was obviously Madam's biggest secret. Why, why was it wrong?
Could it be, could it be?
Xiaolian turned to look at Lin Wanjie, suddenly understood something, and laughed miserably: "Hahaha... Lin Da, everyone in the world thought that you were so in love that you could live alone for the sake of the third lady. I didn't expect, I didn't expect that you and Da Madam has already done the dirty work! No wonder she is so calm."
"Snapped!"
There was another crisp sound.
Xiaolian was slapped hard again on the face.
"Bitch, aren't you embarrassed enough? Now go back with me and I'll deal with you later."
With that said, she pulled Xiaolian and started to leave.
Lin Wanjie stepped forward again and stopped in front of Mr. Wu.
"What are you going to do?" Mr. Wu felt guilty.
"You just walked away after perjuring yourself? It doesn't make sense."
After hearing this, Mr. Wu loosened his grip and left Xiaolian in the court: "She is the one who perjured herself, and she has nothing to do with us!"
"Isn't this your concubine? How do you say it has nothing to do with you?"
"Fart! I haven't touched this woman in a day. You, you, you, you can take it if you like it. I don't want it anymore."
As he spoke, Mr. Wu actually took out the deed of betrayal from his clothes and threw it to Lin Wanjie.
Lin Wanjie took it smoothly, held Xiaolian's contract of sale in his hand, squatted down, and looked at Xiaolian whose eyes were distracted.
"If I had known this today, why did I do it in the first place?"
The eldest lady offered her a ransom with good intentions but refused to return it, thinking that wearing gold and silver would make her a master.
As a result, he still ends up being abandoned by others.
How could Xiaolian have the strength to move again?
He even looked at Lin Wanjie shamelessly.
Xiaolian is the maid of the eldest lady, and it is the eldest lady who has the final say whether she lives or dies.
Lin Wanjie stopped paying attention, stood up and asked, "Sir, the facts of the case are clear, how should the punishment be?"
"My lord, my lord..."
The second elder of the Wang family panicked and knelt down.
"My lord, there are hidden secrets in this case. Please suppress it and wait for another day to try again."
If Lin Wanjie's warning had not been heeded, the prefect might have suppressed the case and forcibly changed the sentence.
However, now that the structure of the court has changed, even if someone from the Wang family is an official in the capital, there is no need to leave a trace.
"The case is very clear. It is you, Miss Wang, who slandered the innocence of this mother and daughter. You cannot shield and condone them just because they are children of the Wang family. According to Daxia law, anyone who slanders a woman's innocence will be punished with forty rods."
"forty?"
"forty!"
This is the highest penalty for civil crimes other than the death penalty.
Because a punishment of more than forty strokes is no different from the death penalty.
Normally, twenty sticks would kill someone, let alone this forty stick?
Besides, Wang Xiaoning is still a woman.
This is to beat people to death!
When the Queen Mother heard the number forty, she rolled her eyes and fainted.
Wang Xiaoning's spirit relaxed, and he fell to the ground like a puddle of mud.
"Master Magistrate! Please be merciful, for the sake of the Wang family..." Mr. Wang clenched his fists and his body kept shaking. His second daughter had been indulged and doted on all his life. In Mr. Wang's heart, although this daughter She loves to cause trouble, but she is also her lifeblood, which is much more important in her heart than her eldest daughter.
If he was beaten to death like this, it would be no different than killing him.
But the verdict has been pronounced, and the prefect represents not an individual, but the law of Daxia.
How can you give face to anyone?
Therefore, the prefect did not even look at Mr. Wang, and continued to pronounce the sentence: "The woman in the hall is complicit in the crime and gives false testimony. She should be punished with the same crime and twenty canes."
The common people felt chills just listening to it.
The punishment imposed by the magistrate is severe enough, after all, it is to taint a person's innocence.
He was beaten ten times before the trial started. How could he be convincing if he wasn't severely punished?
Lin Wanjie's goal would be achieved if he could use the court's authority to kill those who insulted his wife and young lady.
He didn't care how the execution was carried out, but Xue Lingzhi's appearance was surprising.
In the yamen, preparations were being made for the execution with a stick, and some people left early because they were afraid of seeing someone being beaten to death.
Everyone knows that such a severe punishment will definitely lead to death.
Even if the official wants to let go, it will have to be when no one is around.
It's too fake if you can't make a sound under the eyes of the people.
A woman's body is inherently weak. Even if the officials don't use their full strength, forty blows are enough to kill her several times!
Lin Wanjie and Xue Lingzhi stepped away and stood on the edge of the crowd. Seeing that no one was paying attention to them, they whispered about their respective experiences.
It turned out that Xue Lingzhi had also peeked at Lin Wanjie in Daqingshan. Seeing Lin Wanjie guarding Yu Jiaoer's tomb, Xue Lingzhi felt a little heartbroken, but he also relieved his knot. I no longer have any affection for Brother Lin.
After that, the White Lotus Sect was busy with various activities in Hangzhou City, and no one made it difficult for the grandfather and grandson. Not long after they came down from the mountain, Doctor Xue got sick with rheumatism and could no longer travel far, so he settled in Yangzhou.
Because Doctor Xue had difficulty moving, he asked Xue Lingzhi to conduct a consultation.
Unexpectedly, Xue Lingzhi had been studying medicine for more than ten years, and her medical skills had surpassed those of her grandfather. She soon became famous in Yangzhou and became a well-known little medical fairy.
Xue Lingzhi was also happy with this and lived peacefully in Yangzhou.
Xue Lingzhi finished telling his story and then asked Lin Wanjie: "Brother Lin, when did you leave Daqingshan?"
Just as Lin Wanjie was about to answer, he suddenly heard the officer shout: "The execution is over!"
The two elders of the Wang family immediately rushed forward: "Doctor, come quickly, doctor, my daughter is still breathing, please save her."
