Chapter 533 Caught

Fortunately, such a smart child was not sold by the Song family, otherwise it would have been a huge loss to their family.

……

When Song Chuman returned, she happened to see Ji Sheng and his men capturing the six members of the Song family.

Seeing people watching nearby, she stepped forward and asked, "Did they commit a crime?"

She also didn't know what excuse Ji Sheng would use to arrest them.

When Zhao Chunli saw that it was Song Chuman, he said excitedly, "Ah Man, you came at the right time. I also heard that Ji Lizheng's bodyguard Ji Sheng was walking on the road with a purse, and the purse suddenly fell to the ground."

"Song Hemao and Song Hewei happened to be behind him. They were short of money. When they saw the bag of money on the ground, their eyes lit up. They didn't inform Ji Sheng who was only three meters away from them."

"Ji Sheng quickly realized that the money was gone, and immediately went after Song Hemao and Song Hewei."

"But when we caught up with Old Song's family, they were actually dividing the money and deciding how to use it."

"Ji Sheng asked them to return it, but they refused, saying they found it and it's theirs."

"Ji Sheng had no choice but to send people to arrest them and send them to the authorities. I heard that if someone takes possession of other people's money and refuses to return it with malicious intent, although the crime is not serious, they will definitely be punished with a beating."

Another villager said, "I heard that Song Hemao and Song Hewei are the main culprits, so they will definitely be punished more severely. The others are accomplices, and they will at least receive dozens of strokes of the cane."

The corner of Song Chuman's mouth twitched. So this was the so-called excuse.

The laws of Xuanling Country do indeed stipulate this. Ji Sheng has taken advantage of human nature, so Song Hemao and Song Hewei were so easily fooled.

But doing so is not against the law, and even if the censor investigates, he will not be able to find any fault.

Soon, the people of the old Song family were escorted to the road in front of Song Chuman. When Song Xiangqian saw Song Chuman, he said anxiously, "Ah Man, please help Grandpa. Lord Ji Sheng said that as long as we compensate him ten taels of silver, he will let go of what happened just now. It's only ten taels of silver, so please help us pay for it."

Song Chuman pretended to be childish and shook her head: "No, you just picked up Lord Ji Sheng's money and you haven't returned it yet. You borrowed my money and you will definitely not return it. I'm not that stupid."

The people around them burst into laughter.

Children speak directly.

If you are willing, say yes; if you are not willing, say no; don't beat around the bush.

Song Xiangqian wanted to say something, but was pushed away by Ji Sheng's men.

Others also wanted to plead for mercy, but when they thought that Song Chuman still had their sons' (grandsons') lives in her hands, they dared not say anything.

Li Cuicui had a sad face.

I am so unlucky today. I thought I could extort some money from Song Chuman today, and then take my two grandsons back, and then I would have hope for the future.

I didn’t expect that Song Chuman would actually threaten them instead. That’s really despicable.

Now they have to be punished. Their lives are too miserable.

夜晚
Everyone in the Song family was sent back.

Song Hexiu went out for a walk, and at dinner time, he told them about their story. "I heard that all six members of the Song family were beaten with sticks. Song Hemao and Song Hewei were more serious, so they were beaten with 80 sticks. The others were accomplices, so they were also beaten with 20 sticks."

"When he was sent back, his butt was bleeding from being beaten."

When Song Chuman came back, she told Song Hexiu about Ji Lizheng's help to them, so he didn't find it strange at this time.
