    Chapter 72

    The Su family was speechless. It was quiet in the courtroom. Li Jingzhai took the letter and asked Mr. Su, "Friend Su Mo, is what this letter says true?"

    Mr. Su's lips moved, his eyes were empty, and he didn't know where he was. He didn't dare to answer for a long time. Seeing this, Li Jingzhai said sternly: "Quickly recruit me from the ground. If you don't, I will let you know how powerful I am! Left and right!"

    The government officials responded in unison: "Here we are!"

    "Such a troublesome person, I will put him in the shackles and slap him with twenty boards!"

    "yes!"

    Seeing Li Jingzhai taking the lottery and about to throw it down, Mr. Su was so frightened that he kowtowed and said, "I'll do it! I'll do it!"

    Li Jingzhai stopped his hand, stared at him, and said, "Say, if one sentence is untrue, the crime will be increased!"

    Mr. Su knelt down until blood dripped from his forehead, and said quickly: "Yes, yes, sir, that letter was written by Cao Min when he was communicating with his classmates many years ago. Everything written on it is true, and the goldfish and jade pendant is indeed from the same family.  There is no false promise as a token of trust.¡±

    Li Jingzhai said: "So, you two, father and son, were really fooling me before?"

    Mr. Su's face was extremely ugly, and he said bravely: "Yes the common people know they are wrong!"

    Li Jingzhai said again: "Keep talking."

    Mr. Su said: "Later, eight years ago, Xie Ling came to seek refuge with me. I took him in because his father and I were former classmates. However, it has been a long time and I have long forgotten what I said in the letter.  Xie Ling didn't mention the marriage that I had mentioned. Until one day, my wife mentioned it, and I remembered the letters from that year. My wife did not agree with the marriage and asked me to keep the goldfish and jade pendant.  return."

    As he spoke, he looked at Xie Ling again, only to see that the other party lowered his eyes slightly, listened very seriously, and his expression was extremely calm, as if he was an outsider. He couldn't help but feel hatred and anger in his heart, and he had to continue: "I was originally  I didn't want to do such a treacherous thing, but I couldn't stand my wife's repeated urgings. It was very difficult to deal with, so I could only find Xie Ling and discuss with him to buy the jade pendant back from him for three hundred taels of silver. Unexpectedly, Xie Ling  I firmly disagreed, and I didn¡¯t make things difficult for him, so I could only let it go.¡±

    Mr. Su cupped his hands, looked at Li Jingzhai, and said sincerely: "After this incident, Xie Ling left the Su Mansion. I sent people to search for several days, but there was no trace. I just thought he had left Suyang City. Sir,  Although I committed a breach of trust, I did not rob him of his jade pendant! If this is not the case, please be aware of it!"

    As he spoke, he kowtowed twice more, with blood dripping from his forehead, looking quite pitiful.

    Li Jingzhai touched his beard and nodded: "In that case, one of these two goldfish and jade pendants should be at your home and the other with Xie Jieyuan. But early this morning, Xie Jieyuan said that both of them are with you.  Family, how can we explain this?"

    Mr. Su looked confused. This was something he had not understood before. There was only one jade pendant, but why did it become two in the blink of an eye?

    Su Han, on the other hand, took a step forward calmly, cupped his hands and said, "Sir, you see, we do only have one goldfish and jade pendant, which has been placed on your official case. If you still don't believe it, you can go to our house and search it."

    Mrs. Su on the side nodded repeatedly and said in support: "Yes, that's it, sir, our family only has this jade pendant, there is no more."

    Mr. Su finally turned the corner. He understood something. His lips moved, but he didn't speak. Li Jingzhai turned to Xie Ling again and asked, "Xie Jieyuan."

    He naturally knew that Xie Ling also had a goldfish jade pendant in his hand. He had seen it clearly this morning, and it was indeed exactly the same as the one from the Su family. Li Jingzhai asked this question because he wanted to see how the other party would respond.

    Xie Ling suddenly smiled. He took out a jade pendant from his sleeve and said slowly: "There is another one here, sir. Yesterday, Su Moyou came to the humble residence and talked about the date that he and my father made.  It was a wedding, so I took the opportunity to ask him for this jade pendant. If there is only one goldfish jade pendant in his house, where did this one come from? Could it be that it was born out of thin air? "

    Su Han reacted keenly and immediately argued: "This jade pendant is a token. My father went to discuss the marriage. Naturally, he took it with him and brought it back. How could he put the token with you? This is obviously you.  My own jade pendant! Now it¡¯s here to frame us!¡±

    Hearing this, Xie Ling smiled and said nothing. Li Jingzhai looked at Mr. Su who was kneeling on the ground and asked, "Su Moyou, is what he said true? Which jade pendant did you get when you visited Xie Jieyuan yesterday?"

    At this time, Mr. Su was thinking rapidly in his mind.??, the corners of his mouth were broken, and there were tears in his eyes. Su Han was very embarrassed in order to stop the fight.

    Li Jingzhai looked at her for a while, then looked at Mrs. Su and said, "Ms. Su, can you plead guilty?"

    Mrs. Su covered her face and knelt down. She closed her eyes and kowtowed: "The civilian woman pleads guilty."

    ¡­¡­

    There is no need for Xie Ling to interfere in the following matters. According to the law of Daqian, those who rob others of their property should return the property they robbed. Thirty rods and two years of imprisonment. Those who usurp other people's property should return the property they robbed.  Forty years and three years' imprisonment. If the two are combined, the highest penalty shall be applied.

    Su was sentenced to forty canes and three years in prison, and the goldfish and jade pendant was returned to Xie Ling.

    Xie Ling took the jade pendant, weighed it in the palm of her hand, and walked up to Mr. Su. Ignoring the hostile looks between him and Su Han, she just smiled and said, "Mr. Su, thanks to your house for taking me in, Xie didn't dare  forget."

    Mr. Su was put in a position by him, and he was angry in his heart. He wanted to greet him with a lot of swear words, but because Li Jingzhai was still in the court, he didn't dare to make a mistake. He could only twitch the corner of his mouth and say with a smile, "Really?"  ?¡±

    Xie Ling smiled, took his hand, put the jade pendant in his palm, and said, "Xie has always been a person who repays kindness. This jade pendant should be regarded as a thank you gift. Goodbye, Mr. Su.  .¡±

    He nodded slightly, then strode out of the courtroom. Before he could go out, there was a crisp breaking sound behind him, as if something had been hit hard on the ground.

    Xie Ling just curled her lips slightly and left without looking back.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
