SFS Chapter 255 Justifiable Defense
Chapter 255 Justifiable Defense
"Oh, he passed out from the pain after I broke his nose. He might be in the infirmary right now."
As Shitou spoke, he threw a piece of dried meat into his mouth, with a cold look in his eyes.
If Lu Chengyuan didn't want to cause trouble for his family, he would not just break a nose bone.
Shang Wan sighed and asked, "I heard you guys had a fight. How did it start?"
"He can't spit out ivory from a dog's mouth. He told people that my brother-in-law is not a good person." Shitou swallowed the dried meat in his mouth. "Sister, you didn't hear what he said, otherwise you would have quarreled with him too."
Shang Wan Hehe, what was she arguing about with that pervert Lu Chengyuan? Isn't it fun to fight?
She didn't let Shitou repeat Lu Chengyuan's words. She knew it was not a good thing, and she didn't want to make herself unhappy.
"Sister, brother-in-law, you don't have to worry about me. I asked, and my case is not a big deal. I will be released after ten days or half a month in prison."
Shitou was in a good mood and smiled at Shang Wan and Lu Chengjing, "Remember to ask for leave from the academy for me, and send someone to bring me some food. You don't have to come every day, just send it every two or three days."
Shang Wan's mouth twitched. "Young man, you are quite optimistic."
Lu Chengjing said: "Lu Chengyuan now has the title of Juren, although he is not yet an official, but if he wants to investigate, according to the law, you will not only go to jail, but also be caned."
Shitou was stunned, and suddenly felt that the spicy jerky in his mouth no longer had any flavor.
Still want to be caned?
He felt a pain in his butt when he heard these two words.
However, he glanced at his brother-in-law and decided to punish him with a cane. He didn't regret beating that bastard anyway!
Humph, I’ll beat him up next time I see him!
"Leave this matter to me and your brother-in-law." Shang Wan stood up and patted Shitou on the head, and asked, "Who started it first?"
"Him." Shitou raised his chin to show the two a small scratch on his chin. "Here, it was scratched by the jade ring on his hand."
"Then this isn't a fight, it's self-defense." Shang Wan narrowed his eyes and stared at the scar that would be ignored if one didn't look closely, and curled the corners of his lips slightly. This younger brother also knows how to plot against people.
If Shitou hadn't deliberately let him go, how could Lu Chengyuan, a weak scholar, have reached his position?
There is a difference between actively attacking and passively defending.
"Husband, let's go and have a good talk with Lord Ming." Shang Wan glanced at the cell. Now that she had an excuse, she would not let Shi Tou spend the night in prison.
Lu Chengjing understood what his wife was thinking. He stood up and patted Shitou on the shoulder. "Wait, I'll pick you up later."
Shitou blinked his eyes. No, his brother-in-law just said that he was going to be beaten with a stick, so now he was going to take him out?
The couple left together. The jailer brought Shitou a pot of hot tea and took away the bowl of noodles on the table.
Shitou sat there for a moment, then suddenly reached out and pulled off the jade ring that served as an accessory on his belt, and fiercely scratched his chin twice with it.
He gritted his teeth, wiped the blood from his chin, and poured himself a cup of hot tea.
While chewing the dried meat and drinking tea, the boy began to think about what to eat when he got home.
Whenever the weather gets cold, he wants to eat hotpot. He wonders if Xiaohuan is willing to cook it.
Unlike Shitou's leisurely mood, the county magistrate who was found by Shang Wan and his wife was feeling miserable. It was difficult to offend both sides, so what should he do?
With Shang Wan and Lu Chengjing's concerted efforts, the county magistrate finally couldn't hold back and had to agree to Shang Wan's request to release Shitou.
After meeting everyone, Shang Wan was not in a hurry to leave. He instead sounded out the county magistrate's opinion on establishing a chamber of commerce composed entirely of women.
Although the county magistrate looked unhappy and kept making excuses, Shang Wan felt that it was not impossible.
The couple achieved their goal and left satisfied, leaving the county magistrate in the hall sighing.
"Master, if we let him go, how will we explain this to Mr. Lu?"
The confidant asked cautiously, releasing the person would only require a few words, but if this angered Doctor Wang who was behind Young Master Lu, what would his master do?
"Do you think this couple is easy to offend?" The county magistrate squinted at his confidant, "Can a minor official like me, a seventh-rank official, afford to offend the people that the Duke Dingguo's Mansion wants to protect?"
The confidant hesitated: "But, that gentleman is in the Ministry of Personnel..."
What the confidant wanted to say was that the officials in the Ministry of Personnel were in charge of the examinations, and if his master wanted to get promoted, he must not offend the officials in the Ministry of Personnel.
But the county magistrate waved his hand before he could finish his words and ordered: "Go there in person and tell Master Lu about this."
The confidant did not understand the deeper meaning of this, and the words he wanted to ask were on the tip of his tongue, but seeing the impatience on the county magistrate's face, he swallowed the words back and left.
But when Lu Chengyuan received the news, he smashed the teacup in anger, and the nosebleed that had stopped started flowing again.
This time he had no time to be angry and quickly ordered someone to call a doctor.
The confidant took the opportunity to slip away.
On the other side, Shang Wan and the other two went to the prison to pick up Shi Tou, and the three of them went home in a carriage.
"Did you cut it yourself?" Shang Wan pinched Shitou's chin and looked at it. Although the two bloodstains were not long, they were much deeper than the original one.
The skin and flesh were broken, and some white flesh was turned outward, which looked very serious.
The bleeding had stopped and Shitou didn't feel much pain.
"It's scary to look at. That villain Lu Chengyuan will definitely not let it go. If my wounds heal, there will be no evidence. Now that I have these two wounds, I can argue with him even if we go to court, so I won't be at a disadvantage from the beginning."
He felt that his brain had finally become clear.
Lu Chengjing looked at him and asked helplessly, "What does the Spiritual Medicine Pavilion do?"
"Selling medicine." Shi Tou blinked.
Lu Chengjing pointed at the wound on his chin and said, "You keep the wound, do you want to destroy the reputation of the Spiritual Medicine Pavilion?"
The jade ring is not a sharp object, so how serious a wound can it cause?
Shang Wan is the owner of the Spiritual Medicine Pavilion, but he is still reluctant to use the good medicine for his own brother?
The wound looks scary, but if you use the best all-purpose ointment, with Shi Tou's current physical condition, it will be almost healed overnight.
Stone:"……"
The boy stopped talking.
How could he have forgotten this?
Was his injury in vain?
Shang Wan patted Shitou's head lovingly, "It's a good thing to use your brain."
Take it slow, you will think about it more after you experience it more.
Stone:"……"
He felt that his sister was scolding him, but he had no evidence.
When the three of them returned 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 Tou back. Given her sister's protective nature, as long as Shi Tou didn't kill anyone in the street, she would never let him go to jail.
Can a stone kill people in the street? Of course not!
Shitou was thinking about eating hotpot while in prison. He didn't expect his wish to come true. He was so happy that the corners of his mouth were almost stretched to the back of his ears.
Yuanyuan got two pomelo leaves from somewhere and concentrated on patting her uncle Shitou.
My aunt said that we should use grapefruit leaves to get rid of bad luck.
Shitou bent down, picked up the baby and spun him around twice. Only when he made the baby dizzy did he happily run into the house to change his clothes.
