Chapter 109: Proving Innocence

() Fang Fengxian wants to try the case first, Liu Cheng has no way to refuse at all, as a general judgment, he does have the right to try the lawsuit, but this Fang Fengxian is more slippery, and he will not take care of things on weekdays, and it seems that he did it on purpose today.

Maybe he's been waiting for this one a long time ago.

The public hall was quickly arranged, Fang Fengxian sat on the top of the seat, the two rows of officials below, and the clerk who wrote the case file was also ready, and when he heard the sound of "proposing prisoner", everyone at the door stretched their necks to look in the direction of the prison.

After a short time, more than a dozen people, including the shopkeeper, the cook and the man, were taken to the public court.

"Bold criminals are not recruited from the truth."

The stunned wood shot and startled the onlookers at the door. But the shopkeeper of the elixir was not afraid, knelt straight on the ground and said, "My lord, the grass people don't know what crime they have committed? ”

"Dare to quibble, your wine shop poisoned the diners, and the human and material evidence is complete, what else do you have to say?"

"My lord, since the grass people are engaged in wine shop trading and open the door to welcome guests from all over the world, they naturally hope that business will prosper and make money in harmony, how can they do such a self-defeating thing as poisoning diners, and I believe that you here will not do this kind of thing that is harmful to people and unfavorable to you."

The onlookers listened, and many people nodded secretly in their hearts, this thing is really unreasonable, how can anyone be so blatantly poisoned in their shop, what is the picture?

"Besides, the grass people and that Wei San have no enmity in the past, why do you want to poison him, even if there is a personal grudge, the grass people can quietly poison him at home, why do you want to go down to your own shop? Also, why are the diners who ate and drank together that day all right? ”

When everyone heard this, they felt that the shopkeeper was reasonable.

Fang Fengxian frowned, this shopkeeper is cunning, if it weren't for these loopholes, you would have been brought to justice a long time ago.

"Hugh has to quibble, what is the explanation for the poison in the brine?"

I saw that the shopkeeper replied unhurriedly: "I believe that the adults also know that the grass people's shop has only been open for two months, but the business is booming, and the guests are full of praise." The grass people have always been kind to people and have never made enemies with people, but why did they have such a disaster, the grass people have thought about it in the past few days. It must be someone who looks down on the business of the shop, and does such a thing of planting blame, please make a clear judgment and return the grass people to a clean slate. ”

Fang Fengxian's eyes narrowed, "You said that someone planted the blame." So who is this person? ”

"The grass people don't know, please check it out."

"It's nonsense, it seems that there is no need for a big punishment, you don't recruit it, come here, and serve the big punishment."

A messenger stepped forward, knocked the shopkeeper to the ground, and waved it to fight.

"Slow, sir, the case is still unresolved. I am afraid that it is not appropriate to use a great punishment. ”

Fang Fengxian stared at the yacha who stopped with displeasure, and turned to Liu Cheng and said, "Mr. Liu, is it you who will try the case, or will this official try the case?" If you speak again, the judge will punish you for the crime of disturbing the court. ”

"You ......"

Liu Cheng was so angry that he almost vomited blood, but there was nothing he could do, he was secretly anxious, and he had just quietly arranged for Zhao Zhutou to go to find his father, and he didn't know when he would be able to come back.

But let him be as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. It's also useless.

The board of the yacha was held high, and it was about to fall on the shopkeeper's body.

"Mother, mother."

A burly man squeezed through the crowd and stumbled into the courtroom. knocked the yacha who was beating people with a board, but he threw himself to the white-haired old woman, hugging the woman and crying.

The white-haired old woman was stunned for a long time, until the man called her "mother" again, then she came back to her senses, stretched out her hand and touched the man's face tremblingly. "San'er, San'er", his lips moved for a long time before he began to cry.

When she cried, the people in the court and onlookers were all stunned, what was going on?

"Whoever disturbs the public court, don't drag it out quickly."

Fang Fengxian finally reacted, and yelled a little angrily.

"My lord, the grass people are not people who have nothing to do, the grass people are the Wei San who was poisoned."

What?

Poisoned Wei San?

Is it a human or a ghost?

Like a pebble thrown into a calm pond, stirring up ripples in circles and circles, the onlookers all showed a shocked state and discussed a lot, Fang Fengxian who was seated was stunned, and Liu Cheng was also dumbfounded.

There was a timid yacha who hid back in horror, it was really daylight.

"San'er, what's going on?"

"Mother, the child is not dead, the child was obsessed with the ghost that day, and wanted to blackmail the shop called Qiong Jelly, but it was unsuccessful, the child was depressed for a while, and when he returned home, he was very thirsty, and when he saw a bowl of water on the courtyard wall, he took it up and drank it."

"What, you drank that water? It was the rat poison that my mother bought, and I was about to mix it in the food, and Aunt Sun next door called me, so I put it on the courtyard wall, why are you so confused, don't you go to the kitchen if you want to drink water? ”

When Fang Feng heard this, he finally heard a little eyebrows, and he was faintly uneasy in his heart, and slapped the shocked wood, "Nonsense, if you drink rat poison, how can you come back from the dead, and you won't beat this pretending person to this official." ”

"Wait, sir, he's really my son."

Wei San also knelt down and kowtowed: "My lord, the grass people are indeed Wei San, they drank rat poison by mistake that day, they were really fake death, they have climbed out of the coffin after waking up last night, they are afraid of scaring the old mother, and they dare not show up. As for why the grass people did not die, it may be that the rat poison is fake. ”

Everyone was in an uproar, this is really a twist and turn, and it is difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood.

After a short time, the yacha sent to the Wei family to inspect replied that the coffin in the courtyard was indeed empty.

"My lord, the grass people still know who poisoned it." Wei San stretched out his hand and pointed at one of the thin figures among the guys, "It's him." ”

The man who was accused of being shocked and immediately collapsed to the ground.

"My lord, the grass man deliberately ran to the backyard to make a noise that day, and accidentally saw him secretly spilling something in the brine, so he must have been the one who poisoned it."

"Fine water, how could it be you?"

Facing the surprised eyes and accusations of the Qiong Jelly crowd, Zhu Xishui's mouth opened, "I'm ...... I ......", two lines of tears flowed.

Things are getting more and more wrong, completely unexpected, and this is not going according to the script at all.

Fang Fengxian's heart fluctuated, but his face was unmoving.

He was thinking about whether to leave the hall temporarily and think about it later, when he saw the guy called Xishui crying in a trembling voice: "I recruit, I recruit." ”

It turned out that his stepsister met a rich son, and the rich son's business was booming, so he asked his stepsister to sprinkle something on the food in the shop on the condition of taking a concubine, and when he went back, his stepsister and stepmother persecuted him together, but he didn't want to, so they beat him and scolded him, and didn't give him food.

There was no way, he had no choice but to agree.

He was very scared, afraid of being seen, there were always people in the kitchen, and it was difficult to start, so he had to secretly spill it into the brine in the courtyard.

It turned out that the onlookers understood the whole story, and they blamed the mother and daughter of the Zhu family.

Fang Feng rode the tiger first, so he had to send a messenger to bring the mother and daughter of the Zhu family.

Liu Cheng watched Fang Feng eat the turtle first, his heart blossomed, and at the same time he secretly scolded the little sister fiercely, little sister, little sister, you make such a fuss, and you don't say hello in advance, it's too inhumane, and it makes the eldest brother scared for you, it's really not worth it.

Liu Qin in the house sneezed several times, thinking curtly, is my father scolding me, or is my eldest brother scolding me? (To be continued.) )
