Chapter 236 Signature and Deposit
Li Xiaoxiao remained alert at all times and knew what was happening the moment Li Laosi stretched out his hand.
Everyone present was shocked by Li Laosi's action. They didn't expect him to hit someone. There were only Li's father and son and Li Xiaoxiao in the lobby. When they saw Li Laosi taking action, Li Laotou and Li Laoshi naturally did not stop him.
The prefect and Wu Zixuan were quite far away, and several yamen runners were also at a distance, so they wanted to stop him but were powerless.
"No..." The prefect suddenly stood up from his seat.
At this time, Li Laosi was so anxious that his eyes turned red. How could he listen to others? He raised his hand and slapped Li Xiaoxiao on the head without hesitation.
Seeing that the fate of Li Xiaoxiao was about to fall, everyone was worried for her.
Li Laosi is a middle-aged man, and the slap was given in a rage. With Li Xiaoxiao's small body, it is hard to imagine how miserable she would be if she was hit.
Suddenly Li Xiaoxiao moved. When the slap was about to fall on her head, she dodged it nimbly.
He was originally facing away from Li Laosi, but after dodging, he was facing Li Laosi. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Li Xiaoxiao dodge the slap.
Then Li Xiaoxiao was seen stretching out a leg without any warning and kicking Li Laosi in the stomach.
I thought it was a painless kick, but I didn't expect Li Laosi to stagger back more than ten steps and finally sit on the ground. He screamed in pain.
When he looked at Li Xiaoxiao again, there was disbelief in his eyes. Li Laosi was an adult man. How much strength did it take to kick someone so hard? It really proved the saying that one cannot judge a book by its cover.
"He committed a crime in court. Arrest him." The prefect gave an order and two bailiffs came out from the side, pulled up Li Laosi who was sitting on the ground, and forced him to kneel on the ground.
"Please spare my life, sir. My son was confused for a moment. Please forgive me and spare him." Seeing the magistrate's look, Old Man Li knew he was scared. What should he do?
"Old man Li, your son wanted to hit Li Xiaoxiao just now. Why didn't you stop him since you were closest to him? She is your granddaughter too, and she just watched your son beat her. No wonder she doesn't want to be close to you." The prefect looked at Old Man Li more and more displeased.
"I wanted to stop it, but it was too late," Old Man Li explained.
The prefect didn't believe him. He had no idea how many cases he had settled. There were many people like him.
"Come here, give Li Laosi twenty heavy strokes of the cane as a warning to others."
Soon two more yamen runners came over and took out the torture instruments. Li Laosi was so scared that he struggled violently, but with so many yamen runners in the hall, how could he let him escape?
The two yamen runners who were carrying out the execution beat him even more ruthlessly because of his stubborn resistance. They would beat him until he surrendered.
After a while, the sound of heavy beatings was heard in the hall, but no one shouted. Every time Li Laosi was hit by the board, he opened his mouth in fear, but could not make any sound.
Seeing Li Laosi being beaten, Old Man Li turned his face away in pain, unable to bear to watch.
Boss Li had a distressed expression on his face, but he didn't agree in his heart.
The twenty strokes of the cane were quickly completed, and Li Laosi was taken down from the torture device and collapsed on the ground. The two yamen runners were so cruel that they almost took half his life.
Li Laosi only felt that his buttocks were beaten to pieces, and the clothes on his body were stained with large amounts of blood.
He was wailing in pain, and as if he suddenly thought of something, he raised his head and looked out the door.
There was an ox cart parked at the door, with Old Mrs. Li lying on the cart. Next to the ox cart were many people watching the fun, many of whom had just followed in from the entrance of Li Xiaoxiao Restaurant.
Everyone felt very happy seeing this and thought that the prefect had done a good job. Only one person stared at Li Laosi with a gloomy face.
This person was none other than the man with a mustache. In the morning, Li Laosi told him that he had already thought of a way to deal with Li Xiaoxiao, and he guaranteed that it would be absolutely foolproof. Unexpectedly, the plan failed again.
Li Xiaoxiao followed Li Laosi's gaze and saw a short man with a mustache.
Noticing Li Xiaoxiao's gaze, the man with a mustache looked at Li Xiaoxiao meaningfully, then quickly left the crowd and disappeared.
Li Xiaoxiao remembered his appearance at a glance. It seemed that he was the person behind Li Laosi. The reason why she didn't let Si Chengxu investigate was because Li Xiaoxiao was sure that the Li family would not cause any big trouble.
She could have done it herself, and it turned out that she did.
"Old man Li, have you decided whether to choose the first or the second one? If you have, come over and sign your name." The prefect did not give him much time to think.
This is the kind of person he hates the most. They are all his own children, so why are they so partial to each other? The brothers could have lived in harmony, but because of his behavior, they became enemies.
"This, this..." Old man Li didn't know what to do for a moment. In fact, the second option was the best for him.
But he had already divided the land between his two sons. If he wanted to sell it again, it would be impossible based on his understanding of them.
He looked at Boss Li with an inquiring look, only to see that Boss Li had a gloomy face and an extremely ugly expression.
Li Laosi lay on the ground, groaning in pain, and it seemed that he was not going to take care of the matter.
Now he was in court, facing the prefect. He was unable to deal with the unreasonable behavior, so Old Man Li had to choose the first one.
Soon, the prefect's legal advisor handed the written judgment to Li Xiaoxiao and Old Man Li for them to sign and seal.
Old man Li could not read or write, so Boss Li signed on his behalf and Old man Li put his own fingerprints on the document.
During the whole process, Boss Li's face was so gloomy that water could drip out of it. He could not bother Li Xiaoxiao anymore in the future. Li Laosi only beat her like that with twenty lashes of the cane. He really couldn't imagine what the situation would be like if he was beaten with thirty lashes of the cane.
The reason why they were able to live in the capital was that the other party's purpose was to let them ruin Li Xiaoxiao's reputation, but now it seems impossible.
The man with the mustache didn't know what would happen next. He felt extremely depressed when he thought about it, but he was powerless to change it.
Li Xiaoxiao signed the verdict happily. There were three copies of the verdict, one for Li Xiaoxiao, one for Old Man Li, and one for the government.
If the above instructions are not followed in the future, Li Xiaoxiao can take out this judgment no matter where he is and force the Li family to execute it.
Old Mrs. Li, who had been lying at the door, heard the whole story.
