Chapter 408: A Gentleman Like Jade, Xu Jingxi
The old woman who was originally unconscious woke up again when she heard Liang Yici's words.
"Master Qingtian, listen to this, she is relying on her noble status and not caring about the life and death of us ordinary people!"
As she spoke, the old woman slapped the ground, and her daughter-in-law cried so loudly that the roof almost fell over.
Her daughter-in-law would raise her eyes from time to time and glance at Mr. Xie secretly.
"Actually, what we don't ask for is much. Counting the money for medical treatment for our family, it's only five hundred taels. Our princess of Cangyun Kingdom is not even willing to pay for this small amount of medicine?" the daughter-in-law cried while wiping away tears.
Liang Yici pointed at her and got angry: "You still say you are not scheming? How dare you ask for so much money?"
The official stood up and stood between Mr. Xie and Liang Yici, with a smile on his face.
"Second Master of the Xie family, Princess Rongshu, according to the law, if the princess really hurts someone, she will be imprisoned for three days."
"If the injured person's condition worsens later, the prison term will be increased as appropriate."
He looked embarrassed and lowered his voice: "You can give money to such a person. She is old and is not afraid of death if she is covered in fish. Princess, please don't tarnish your reputation for such a villain."
Mr. Xie nodded and decisively asked the boy behind him to take out the banknote.
"I'll give it to her."
Liang Yici was furious.
"Who am I? I won't accept your meddling! Even if my mother is here today, she will definitely tell the truth."
Mr. Xie looked down coldly: "Do you want to go to jail?"
"So what if I go to jail? I didn't do anything wrong anyway. Are the laws of Cangyun Kingdom protecting justice, or do they allow these villains to do whatever they want?"
Liang Yici gritted her teeth with an angry look, which made the boy beside Mr.
The old woman and daughter-in-law lying on the ground looked at each other.
The old woman suddenly covered her heart, took a breath of cold air and passed out.
The daughter-in-law lay on top of her, crying miserably: "Mother! Mother! You are such a cruel princess, you beat our whole family without saying a word, and now you have made my mother faint with anger."
"Master Qingtian, five hundred taels is no longer enough. My mother's condition requires at least seven hundred taels!"
It's like the lion opened his mouth!
The official also glared angrily: "You are almost done. If you insist on insisting, it will not be good for everyone in the end."
Liang Yici was bitten by this leper.
It's not easy to find a big boss who can provide money. These people smell it like meat and won't let go.
More and more money is needed.
Liang Yici looked at Mr. Xie and sneered: "Did you hear that? What's the use of giving in? They will only push forward."
"Oh, the legendary arrogant and arrogant General Xie Erye is nothing more than this. He can bow his head to rogues. I really look down on him!"
He is far worse than her father, General Liang. I really don’t know how her mother could have liked such a person in the first place.
Mr. Xie's stern expression condensed.
At this moment, a cold voice came from the door——
"Princess Rong Shu does not need to go to jail. She is innocent. You know it in your heart."
Everyone looked towards the door and saw Xu Jingxi wearing a washed white robe, walking from the darkness to the light under the moonlight.
Seeing him, Liang Yici was stunned, and then frowned.
Why is he here?
"Mother! Ouch! Mother!" A man came out from behind Xu Jingxi, ran towards the old woman and his wife, and tugged on their arms: "Okay! Stop pretending, let's go."
His wife threw her arm.
"Why are you here when you're not lying in the hospital?" Her eyes flickered guiltily: "Didn't you see that your mother is so mad at this princess?"
She winked desperately at her husband.
You can get a lot of money soon, why are you going to cause trouble at this time?
The man had a look of pain on his face that he couldn't express.
Xu Jingxi walked into the courtroom calmly.
He wears the simplest clothes, but his body is straight and thin, like a piece of proud and unyielding pine and bamboo, with his own character.
"Sir," Xu Jingxi said to the officials, "I can testify that Princess Rongshu was carrying this old woman on her back. Seeing that her legs and feet were inconvenient, she sent her home."
"At that time, I was helping the Chai family across from the old woman. I saw it with my own eyes. The Chai family can also testify for me that what I said is true."
Liang Yici's frown relaxed, a little surprised.
The man's wife immediately shouted: "You are her accomplice, so you are trying to excuse her! It is obvious that the princess hurt my mother-in-law and sent her home because of a guilty conscience."
Xu Jingxi looked at the man's wife. Bo Jun's pupils were as deep and calm as water.
"Do you dare to swear?"
The woman was stunned and hesitated: "I, I dare, I swear to God, I..."
Xu Jingxi interrupted her: "You just need to swear on Princess Funing's portrait that what you said is true and you didn't lie for money. Do you dare?"
The woman's face immediately turned pale.
Her husband waved his hands repeatedly on the side: "Don't dare! Don't dare! We have nothing to do, just forget it."
The old woman didn't know when she opened her eyes, and a Gulu stood up, patted her clothes and trouser legs, and smiled.
"Your Majesty, Princess, as I get older, I tend to feel uncomfortable. No, I just lay down for a while and I feel much better."
"Can we go?"
Before the official could speak, Xu Jingxi said coldly: "Wait a minute. I have a letter signed by your neighbors to report, saying that your family has been committing petty theft all year round and has poisoned the neighbor's chickens and ducks many times out of jealousy."
"There are also signatures from people who have been cheated by your family before." Xu Jingxi handed them over to the government.
The official saw that the evidence was irrefutable, and immediately turned around and slammed the gavel: "Catch this family of scoundrels!"
I had wanted to catch these scoundrels for a long time, but no one was willing to stand up to testify.
Because their family was very fierce, the old woman would take her daughter-in-law to other people's doorsteps to throw feces and sit down to curse.
No one was too lazy to get involved in bad luck.
Now they were collected by Xu Jingxi because they had already aroused public anger.
"Sir! We are innocent!" The family shouted in fear and were dragged away by the yamen runners.
The official bowed to Xu Jingxi: "Thank you, young master, for finally eliminating these three famous scoundrels."
Xu Jingxi remained calm: "No thanks, it's just a piece of cake."
With that, he turned and left.
Liang Yici chased directly to the door: "Stop, stop!"
Xu Jingxi stopped at this time, turned his head and looked at her coldly.
"Why are they afraid when you mention Princess Funing?"
"Because you haven't experienced it yourself. Shen Ningning helped us through the two natural disasters. The people have long regarded her as a god. Even if these rogues in the capital are willing to risk their lives for money, how dare they offend the gods? They dare not swear to her, for fear that it will work."
Liang Yici pursed her lips, feeling incredible.
She had only heard of the legend about Shen Ningning, but she didn't expect that her influence would be so great?
"Then why did you help me? You should be able to see that I am not polite to Princess Funing, and you are her friend, so you should not care about my business."
Xu Jingxi did not answer this time.
He just looked past her and looked at Mr. Xie standing in the courtyard.
Mr. Xie also frowned and looked at the two of them, seeming a little puzzled. Who is this Xu Jingxi who suddenly appeared?
"Helping you is to make Shen Ningning feel more relaxed." Xu Jingxi retracted his gaze, said, turned around and left, decisively and straightforwardly.
