Chapter 1315: We Have No Money, But We Have Integrity!
Many passersby gathered around because they heard his voice.
Feng Fuce gave a cold glance, and an Asura Envoy immediately stepped forward.
"Stop yelling here. If you have something to say, go to the hall. If there’s a grievance, beat the drum and appeal. Crying outside someone else’s door, don’t blame us for being impolite!"
Li Zhuangnian acted as if he was wronged: "Go to the government, is the government useful?"
"You government officials protect each other, brazenly snatching people directly from my home in broad daylight!"
"If I go to the government with a complaint, won’t you find a chance to beat me to death?"
Aunt Li cried and wiped her tears, wailing sharply: "Oh heavens, how did we end up with such a bitter fate!"
"That Cuicui, we bought her as our wife, and here is her thumbprint and signature from back then."
"The contract is right here. It’s absolutely true and can’t be faked."
"If the Jiang Mansion doesn’t give us an explanation today, I’ll bash my head against this door and die."
Li Zhuangnian stubbornly said: "Exactly! We may not have money, but we have dignity!"
"If you don’t bring my wife back, return the money to us. Otherwise, I’ll sit here and not leave!"
The surrounding people were gossiping and debating.
Feng Fuce’s cold eyes deepened slightly, and he sneered: "Is that contract equivalent to a Contract of sale?"
Li Zhuangnian boldly replied: "Of course! Cuicui willingly became my wife. Look, it’s clear and concise in black and white."
"If she runs away one day, I can go to the government and report her to arrest her!"
Feng Fuce, hands behind his back, said coldly: "If that’s true, you’ve already violated the law."
Li Zhuangnian was taken aback: "What?"
Feng Fuce said indifferently: "Great Chu law stipulates that non-servile people cannot privately sign a Contract of sale."
"Otherwise, not only is it invalid, but the person receiving the Contract of sale is equivalent to illegal human trafficking."
"The punishment is fifty lashes, five days of imprisonment, and a fine of silver hundred taels."
Li Zhuangnian froze: "What?!"
Even Aunt Li didn’t dare to cry anymore.
Li San shouted: "You’re lying! Trying to deceive us common folks!"
Feng Fuce sneered silently: "Fool."
"Since you don’t believe it, I’ll send someone to take you to the government. Whether it’s true or not, you’ll find out once you’re there."
With his words, several Asura Envoys suddenly moved towards Li Zhuangnian’s family.
Li Zhuangnian realized something was wrong and hurriedly tried to run, but was swiftly held down by an agile Asura Envoy!
Feng Fuce ordered: "Take them away."
The family of three cursed and were pushed away.
The matter was resolved too easily, and Feng Fuce didn’t even put these clowns in his eyes.
However, after entering the door and briefly explaining the situation, Jiang Mian was somewhat worried.
"Cuicui was alone and without support, and Li Family saw her alone and took her to be Li Zhuangnian’s wife."
"But Li Zhuangnian frequently abused her, even throwing her into a well, causing her to lose her life."
"They are so fearless, the matter of Cuicui signing the Contract of sale for them might be true."
Bai Zhi’er’s cheeks flushed with anger.
"This wicked family! Killing Cuicui wasn’t enough; they want to extort us too."
Jiang Ying comforted Jiang Mian: "Don’t worry, letting them suffer in prison this time is also revenge for Cuicui and you."
Jiang Mian nodded lightly, but her heart was always uneasy and afraid.
Perhaps because the shadow Li Zhuangnian cast over her was too deep!
