Chapter 259 Justifiable Defense
“Oh, he fainted from the pain after I broke his nose bone. He may be in the hospital now.”
Shitou said as he went There was a piece of dried meat in his mouth, and there was a coldness in his eyes.
If he didn't want to cause trouble for his family, Lu Chengyuan would not just break a nose bone.
Shang Wan clicked his tongue and asked, "I heard that you guys had a quarrel. How did it happen?"
"He can't spit out ivory from his dog's mouth. It's not good to talk about brother-in-law." Shitou swallowed the dried meat in his mouth, "Sister, you didn't hear what he said, otherwise you would have to quarrel with him."< br>
Shang Wanhehe, what was she arguing with that pervert Lu Chengyuan? Isn't it enjoyable to fight?
She didn't ask Shi Shi to repeat Lu Chengyuan's words. She knew that they were not good words and she would not be happy if she didn't.
"Sister, brother-in-law, you don't have to worry about me. I've asked before, it's not a big deal for me. I can get out after staying in prison for ten days and a half."
Shitou's mentality is very Okay, he still smiled at Shang Wan and Lu Chengjing, "You remember to go to the academy to ask for leave for me, and then send someone to send me some food. You don't have to come every day, just send it back every two or three days."
Shang Wan's mouth twitched, young man, you are quite optimistic.
Lu Chengjing said: "Lu Chengyuan now has the reputation of being a civil servant. Although he is not an official, if he wants to pursue him, according to the law, you will not only go to jail, but also be punished with a cane."
Shitou was stunned, and suddenly felt that the spicy jerky in his mouth no longer tasted good.
Want to be punished with a stick?
Hearing these two words, he felt a pain in his butt.
However, he glanced at his brother-in-law and said, "Let's just use the cane. Anyway, he doesn't regret beating that bastard!"
Hmph, I’ll beat him up next time I meet him!
"Leave this matter to me and your brother-in-law." Shang Wan stood up, slapped Shitou on the head, and asked, "Who made the move first?"
"He." Shitou vigorously raised his chin to show the two of them a small scratch on his chin, "Here, it was scratched by the jade wrench he was wearing."
"Then this is not considered a fight, it is considered self-defense. "Shang Wan squinted his eyes and stared at the scar that would be ignored if he didn't look closely. He slightly curved the corners of his lips. This younger brother also knew that he was scheming.
If Shitou hadn't deliberately let go, how could Lu Chengyuan, a weak scholar, have hit him in this position?
There is a difference between actively attacking and passively defending.
"Mr. Ming, let's go have a chat with Mr. Mingfu." Shang Wan glanced at the cell. Now that she had an excuse, she would not put stones in the cell overnight.
Lu Chengjing understood what his wife was thinking. He stood up and reached out to pat Shitou's shoulder, "Wait, I will pick you up later."
Shitou blinked and blinked, no, he My brother-in-law just said that he was going to be punished with a cane. Are we going to take him out now?
The couple left together, and the cell leader brought a pot of hot tea to Shitou and took away the noodle bowl on the table.
Shitou sat blankly for a moment, then suddenly reached out and pulled off the jade ring as an accessory on his belt, and slashed his chin twice.
He grinned, wiped the blood from his chin, and poured himself a cup of hot tea.
Chewing dried meat and drinking tea, the boy began to think about what he would eat when he got home soon.
When the weather gets cold, he wants to eat hot pot. He wonders if Xiaohuan is willing to do it.
Different from Shitou's leisurely mood, the county magistrate who was approached by Shang Wan and his wife felt miserable. It was hard to offend both parties. What should he do?
Under the chorus of Shang Wan and Lu Chengjing, the county magistrate finally couldn't resist and had to agree to Shang Wan to bail out the stone.
Everyone has met, and Shang Wan is not in a hurry to leave. He inquires about the county magistrate’s talk about establishing an all-female chamber of commerce.
Although the county magistrate looked very bad and all he said were excuses, Shang Wan felt that this matter was not impossible at all.
The couple achieved their goal and left with satisfaction, leaving the county magistrate sighing in the hall.
"Master, if we let him go, how should we explain to Mr. Lu?"
The confidant asked cautiously. Letting him go is just a matter of words, but if Mr. Lu is offended by this, With the prince behind his back, what should I do?
“You think this couple is easy to mess with?” The county magistrate squinted at his confidants, “The people that Duke Dingguo’s mansion wants to protect can’t afford to offend me, a seventh-grade official?”< br>
The confidant looked hesitant: "But, that gentleman is in the Ministry of Personnel..." What the confidant wanted to say was that the official in charge of the Ministry of Personnel was taking the exam. If he wanted to be promoted, he must not offend the officials. Ministry official.
But before he could finish his words, the county magistrate waved his hand and ordered: "Go and tell Mr. Lu about this in person."
The confidant didn't understand the meaning, and the question he wanted to ask had already arrived. On his lips, he could see the impatience on the face of the county magistrate. After thinking about it, he swallowed it and took the order to leave.
But it was said that Lu Chengyuan received the news and threw the tea cup in anger, and the stopped nosebleed started to flow again.
Now he couldn't care less about being angry and quickly ordered someone to call the doctor.
The confidant took the opportunity to slip away.
On the other side, Shang and Wan went to the prison to pick up the stones, and the three of them went home in a carriage.
"Did you scratch it yourself?" Shang Wan pinched Shi Shi's chin and looked at it. Although the two blood marks were not long, they were much deeper than the original one.
The skin and flesh are broken, and the white flesh is slightly turned out, which looks very serious.
The bleeding has stopped and the stone doesn’t hurt much.
"It just looks scary. That villain Lu Chengyuan will definitely not give up. If my wounds heal, there will be no evidence. Now with these two wounds, I can break up with him even if he goes to court. Just a little bit, and you won’t be at a disadvantage from the beginning.”
He felt that he had a brilliant idea.
Lu Chengjing looked at him and asked in a helpless tone: "What does the Spiritual Medicine Pavilion do?"
"Selling medicine." Shitou blinked.
Lu Chengjing pointed to the wound on his chin, "You kept the wound open because you wanted to smash the signboard of the Spiritual Medicine Pavilion?"
The jade ring is not a sharp weapon, how serious can it be? ?
Shang Wan is the shopkeeper of the Spiritual Medicine Pavilion. He is not willing to give good medicine to his younger brother?
The wound looks deceptive, so I really need to use the best all-purpose ointment. With Shi Shi’s current physique, he will be healed overnight.
Shitou: "..."
The boy stopped talking.
Why did he forget this?
Was his injury in vain?
Shang Wan patted Shitou's head lovingly, "It's a good thing to be willing to use your brain."
Take your time, you will think about it as you experience more things.
Shitou: "..."
He felt that his sister was scolding him, but he had no evidence.
When the three of them got home, Xiaohuan had already prepared the hot pot.
She was not surprised at all that her sister and brother-in-law were able to bring Shi Shi back. With her sister's protective temper, as long as Shi Shi didn't kill anyone on the street, there was no way she would let Shi Shi sleep in jail.
Can stones kill people on the street? That must not be possible!
Shitou was thinking about eating hot pot in prison. Unexpectedly, his wish came true, and he was so happy that he grinned from the corners of his mouth to the back of his ears.
Yuanyuan took two grapefruit leaves from somewhere and patted them around her Uncle Shitou attentively.
My aunt said that I should use grapefruit leaves to remove bad luck.
Shitou bent down, picked up the baby, and spun it around twice. He was so dizzy that he happily ran into the house to change clothes.
