Chapter 1884 Li Sheng’s fate (6)

It's just that Li Sheng didn't see such a good woman. He was really blind. He betrayed her for a prostitute. After only two days of marriage, he couldn't wait to run back to his hometown to meet his old lover.

He doesn't object to Li Sheng's love for Yiyi. After all, everyone is in their own way. Even if Li Sheng likes a woman like Yiyi, there's nothing he can do about it. But if he likes a woman like Yiyi, he should rely on his own ability to make money, redeem others' lives, and bring happiness to others. He can't do anything about it. You should never lie to Juhua. A woman's reputation in ancient times was so important. Since he married Juhua, he should be responsible for Juhua and love Juhua well. But he actually did such a despicable thing. Not to mention that he failed Juhua, even if he failed a strange woman, he would feel unfair for that woman.

Liu Xi picked up the mandarin duck jade pendant, rubbed it and said, "Mr. Magistrate, although this piece of jade from the Zajia family is not expensive, it is worth two or three thousand taels. Now it has been stolen and sold by Li Sheng. I wonder what the magistrate will order for this Li Sheng." What crime?"

After hearing this, the magistrate hurriedly said: "This Li Sheng stole in front and took your jade pendant to Ningxiang Pavilion to defraud the one behind. Both crimes are punishable. The lower official feels that he should be punished with fifty rods and ten years in prison. What do you think, father-in-law?" "

Liu Xi chuckled and said, "The county magistrate is wise, and everyone respects him."

When Li Sheng heard that he was going to be beaten fifty times with a stick and locked up in prison for ten years, he suddenly couldn't care about anything else and shouted: "Sir, student..."

As soon as he shouted the word 'student', he immediately thought that his reputation as a scholar had been revoked, so he quickly changed his mind and said, "Young man, I'm wronged. This jade pendant was given by my wife. It's absolutely true." It was not stolen by a villain, please tell me!"

He didn't dare to say that this jade pendant was a gift from the Queen. He only said that it was a gift from his wife. Anyway, the Queen rewarded him because he looked at his wife's face, so even if he said it was a gift from his wife, There's nothing wrong with it either.

"Wife? Are you actually married?" The magistrate looked at him suspiciously, his eyes full of disbelief.

"Yes, sir, the villain's wife is Shen Juhua, the daughter of Mr. Shen, the former grand master of Qingxian County. After the villain traveled to the capital last year, he was lucky enough to meet Mr. Shen. Mr. Shen saw that the villain was a fellow villager, and saw that the villain was in a state of desolation. , he made the villain become the shopkeeper in his fur shop. Later, seeing that the villain was obedient, he married his daughter to the villain. This jade pendant was really not stolen by the villain, but was given to him by his wife. Human."

At this time, the master said to one side: "Master, what Li Sheng said is most likely true. When Master Shen was still working in Qingxian County, he liked Li Sheng. At that time, he wanted to recruit him as his son-in-law. It's a pity that he was transferred to the capital before he could recruit anyone."

When Li Sheng heard this, he felt relieved. With his master as his witness, he should be fine.

When the county magistrate heard this, he laughed: "It seems that this Li Sheng did not travel to the capital casually, but went there on purpose. I didn't expect that this Li Sheng looked so gentle and polite, but he actually had a plan. Mr. Shen Although I have no friendship with this officer, because he is a senior, I must tell him about this matter. Master, please write a letter and tell Mr. Shen what Li Sheng has done."

When Li Sheng heard this, his face suddenly turned pale. If Lord Shen knew what he had done, he would definitely take his leave. By then, he would not be able to get the Shen family's property.

However, on second thought, it was more important to save his life. As long as he could save his life, even if he was deprived of his life, he still had a capital of one thousand taels of silver and a fur shop worth several thousand taels. Even without the Shen family's If you have wealth, you can live a life without worries about food and clothing!
