Struggle in Ancient Times - Chapter 153
The courtroom was as noisy as a vegetable market. Liao Tingyu slammed the gavel on the table, and it immediately became quiet down below.
Liao Tingyu now really wanted to know what this child thinks?
“Okay, stop it. Let me ask, Jinli. What do you think? Did you hear or remember it wrong?”
Jinli’s eyes were red, and he frowned and said, “Sir, I didn’t remember it wrong, you heard it right, and you also asked the doctor to examine the injury, and the doctor will not be wrong.”
Liao Tingyu looked at Jinli with admiration for his behavior.
If Jinli was born from a wealthy family or a scholarly family, he could be a match with Zhao Han.
It was just a pity.
And Zhao Han really couldn’t let it go. He heard that someone came to the government office to complain today, and the person who complained was Jinli. After hesitating for a long time, he decided to go and see how Jinli was doing now.
More importantly, he was worried that his teacher would harm Jinli to not mess his future. In his eyes, he felt that the man was thinking too much.
He stood by the curtain in the courtroom and heard what Jinli’s parents said. He felt even more sorry for Jinli, why such a good person had such parents.
Liao Tingyu watched the curtain move and noticed that Zhao Han was coming. He shook his head and said, forget it, they should handle their own affairs.
“Ha! Quan Cai, do you know? This doctor has the best reputation in our county, and you two are the first to question his skills.” Liao Tingyu said with a smile.
As a shuanger, the doctor had a family background and was one of the few doctors in the county who treated shuangers with difficult and complicated diseases. He had a lot of experience. He had met a lot of people in his half-life, but he never thought that there would be such a thing like this case.
It was not like he had never seen someone who compromises, but he was never seen someone like this. Wasn’t it good to reconcile? The magistrate had clearly given him a good shop, so he could support himself without the burden of a husband, and could find a good family for his child.
He actually refused to get such a good thing and gave up his innocent child who stood up for him, for the sake of a man.
To be honest, he felt that this person was out of his mind.
It was ridiculous to live a life of being beaten and scolded.
He wasn’t worried about how the magistrate would judge him. Looking at the magistrate’s expression, he knew that this was probably the first time he had seen a case like this in his life.
.
Quan Cai was so frightened when he heard what the magistrate said, but it was none of his business what others did.
“Perhaps there is just a slight resemblance. The doctor may have made a mistake. Look, my wife also said the same. He said it himself and he is definitely not wrong! He is very careless sometimes and will fall down at every turn.”
Jinli’s mother nodded immediately and followed suit.
“Then what you mean is that everyone is wrong, but you two are right. To be honest, this is the first time I have seen people like you in my life. I only heard about it before, but I didn’t expect that it really existed.” Liao Tingyu said with an angry smile.
Quan Cai smiled sarcastically; Liao Tingyu didn’t want to look at him. He walked down the platform and stood in front of Jinli’s mother and continued: “Even animals have the instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, but you clearly know which side is beneficial to you, but you still chose a direction that is harmful to yourself. I have been thinking why animals to have no thoughts but people do. But then, some people are not even as good as animals. Could it be that it was the karma from the previous life?”
Jinli lowered his head and listened to the words of the magistrate, and moved his eyes to his mother who was kneeling in front of him. Even the magistrate said so, did he still want to tolerate this blindly? Did he still want to protect him?
Even a dog knew who treated it well, it would wag its tail, and whoever treated it badly would be bitten and yelled at. But as for his mother, he had watched his mother being beaten to the ground since he was a child, but he still served his father like a master. When it was his turn to get beaten, his mother held him and told him to endure it, saying that it would be fine if he could endure it.
But he didn’t want to bear it, he didn’t like this pain.
He knew that he had no relatives, so no one could make the decision for him, but now that someone was willing, why not try?
Jinli couldn’t figure it out, and neither did Liao Tingyu. Zhao Han even wanted to slap Jinli’s mother a few times, hoping to wake him up.
.
After Liao Tingyu finished saying this, Jinli’s mother still didn’t speak. He just knelt down with tears in his eyes and murmured, “Please spare him, spare him.”
Liao Tingyu smiled. Although he had a good reputation here, it was not important whether this case had the testimony of these victims.
Liao Tingyu glanced at the fist behind the curtain, and then returned to his seat.
“What are you guys doing in a daze? Just press the fingerprints and get it done. As for this person, he probably has a brain problem. We all deserve the testimony of sane people, right? Besides, the defendant already admitted to beating someone, and now he just makes excuses. Didn’t everyone hear it clearly?” Liao Tingyu said.
Liao Tingyu gave instructions and filled in a few key points. The secretary stood up immediately and took the ink pad.
Upon seeing this, the yamen servant immediately sat down and pressed Quan Cai’s fingerprints, then a set of chains was put on. The secretary took the paper with the ink not yet dry and shook it in the air. After looking at it, he felt that he had written something good.
“Okay, now that the case is over, it’s better to record the name of the tea shop on the child. As for your mother, it’s better to rest at home.” Liao Tingyu finalized the instructions.
