Chapter Seventy-Eight: Proving Innocence
"Mo Xianglin, what evidence do you have to prove your absolute innocence?" The county magistrate asked.
"Back to my lord." Mo Xianglin raised his head and looked at the county master, "Your Excellency can send someone to search the store below, and you can guarantee that there will never be any medicine!" ”
The county magistrate turned his head and glanced at Qin Shuyao.
In their speculation, the shopkeeper Mo is Liu Shengjin's upper family.
But there was no evidence to arrest him.
Qin Shuyao shook his head.
"Zhao Kang!" The county magistrate called someone.
"Yes." Zhao Kang stood with his knife in his hands.
"Take a few people to Qinghe Tower to search."
Although Shopkeeper Mo said this, he believed that the catchers could not find anything in his store, but this search must be searched.
"Yes." Zhao Kang took people there.
"The chickens stay." The county magistrate reminded Zhao Kang.
Zhao Kang remembered that he was still holding a leather chicken in his hand, so he handed the chicken to the other catchers, and took someone to the Qinghe Building of the shopkeeper to do a search.
The Pipi Chicken was very quiet under Huai Yanqing's instructions, and did not make trouble, but just lay in the arms of the fast catcher and closed his eyes to recuperate.
Liu Shengjin knelt on the ground by the five flowers, glaring at the shopkeeper Mo, but the shopkeeper Mo did not look at him, and looked straight ahead without humility or arrogance.
"Report-" Suddenly, Xiao Yu at the door rushed in and knelt on one knee, "My lord, Miss Lin's running hall Huai Yanqing asks to see you." ”
Huai Yanqing?
Shopkeeper Mo and Liu Shengjin both raised their heads.
Isn't this man gone? Why is it coming back?
"Call him in." The county magistrate said.
The crowd at the door separated, and I saw Huai Yanqing walking in from the outside, skipping the shopkeeper Mo and Liu Shengjin, and kneeling down on one knee to the county lord: "Participate in the adults." ”
"What's the matter with you?" The county magistrate asked.
"In the next few days, I went out of the city to the direction of Beigang Village, and found an old man in the mountains near Beigang Village, who claimed to be the master of my family's shopkeeper." Huai Yanqing took out an envelope and a waist tag from his arms, "Your Excellency, please take a look." ”
If Lin Jinxiu was here, she would have found that this waist card was actually the piece left to her by Huai Yanqing.
The onlookers were shocked, this Huai Yanqing left the county, and she actually wanted Lin Jinxiu to find evidence to prove her innocence!
is really a chivalrous man, those who once said that Huai Yanqing abandoned Ning'er and them all lowered their heads and apologized for him in their hearts.
"Bring it up." The county magistrate asked the catcher to bring him the things in his hand.
At this time, Huai Yanqing breathed a sigh of relief, only to find that Liu Shengjin and Shopkeeper Mo were by his side.
The two of them looked a little puzzled, as if they were asking why they were here.
"Click!" Suddenly, the chicken in the arms of the catcher saw Huai Yanqing and began to struggle.
The catcher didn't hold it down, and the chicken ran out and threw himself into Huai Yanqing's arms.
"Why are you here?" Huai Yanqing reached out and caught the Pipi chicken.
"This chicken belongs to yours?" The county magistrate asked Huai Yanqing while looking at the letter.
"Yes." Huai Yanqing replied, "It's ...... Trouble again? ”
The county magistrate heard the key in Huai Yanqing's mouth: "Again? The chicken flew into the street at some point and made a mess of the whole street. ”
Huai Yanqing's expression became a little embarrassed: "Lord Hui, this chicken is very wild, maybe I and the shopkeeper are not here these days, and no one can stop it." ”
"Since it's your chicken, you will pay for the things that are damaged in the neighborhood." The county magistrate's eyes are still on the letter.
"Definitely." Huai Yanqing promised.
The scene returned to calm, and everyone was waiting for the county lord to read the letter.
I didn't expect this runner to really be able to find Lin Jinxiu's master.
Shopkeeper Mo's afterglow has been on Huai Yanqing, what is the origin of this young man?
"Good!" At this moment, the county magistrate finished reading the letter, "Sure enough, it is a heavenly opportunity that cannot be leaked!" ”
"I hope that the adults will see and return the innocence of my shopkeeper." Huai Yanqing saluted.
"This waist card is enough to prove it." The county magistrate took the waist card in his hand and looked at it, "When I close this case, you can take Miss Lin back." ”
Huai Yanqing's face was full of surprise: "Lord Xie! ”
"Come on, take him down to find Miss Lin." The county magistrate waved his hand, and quickly stepped forward, and Huai Yanqing went to the back hall with him.
I didn't expect Lin Jinxiu to really prove her identity. Shopkeeper Mo gritted his teeth secretly.
The county master didn't say what this waist card represented, but Lin Jinxiu's master was definitely not an idle person!
And Liu Shengjin, the moment Huai Yanqing presented the evidence, knew that his efforts from beginning to end were completely in vain.
After waiting for nearly half an hour, Zhao Kang finally brought someone back.
"Your Excellency." Zhao Kang told the county magistrate, "Qinghelou didn't find anything related to medicine. ”
"Liu Shengjin, what else do you have to say!" The county magistrate filmed the case.
Liu Shengjin's whole person seemed to have lost his mind, and he was completely speechless.
"Since you don't say it, it's a tacit acquiescence." The county magistrate ordered, "Someone! Sign and go to jail! ”
Several arresters stepped forward to take Liu Shengjin away, leaving only Shopkeeper Mo alone to look at the direction in which Liu Shengjin was taken away.
"Mo Xianglin." The county magistrate called him, but there was no response.
"Mo Xianglin!" The second time, the county master raised his voice, and only then did he pull back the soul of the shopkeeper Mo.
"Your Excellency." Shopkeeper Mo saluted the county magistrate.
Seeing that Shopkeeper Mo had a reaction, the county magistrate asked, "What do you want?" ”
Shopkeeper Mo sighed: "I am thinking about it, introducing such a person to the master, and also helping him to give false testimony, it is really ...... I'm ashamed. ”
"Although there is nothing wrong with you per se." The county magistrate said to him, "You helped Liu Shengjin to make a false testimony before, although you were deceived, but no matter what, you made a false testimony, and you will close your business for rest in the next few days." ”
Shopkeeper Mo lost his strength all over: "Yes, my lord." ”
"Quit!"
Liu Shengjin's case was closed, and Shopkeeper Mo had no reason to stay here, so he turned around and walked through the crowd, leaving only a lonely back.
"This shopkeeper Mo is really pitiful, it was not easy to find a junior brother, and he is still so virtuous."
"It's a shame that he did his best for Liu Shengjin before, and now Liu Shengjin actually bites him back."
"It's really a misfortune for the teacher."
Everyone looked at Shopkeeper Mo's eyes full of sympathy.
……
It is said that after Huai Yanqing was brought into the back hall by the catcher, he saw Lin Jinxiu in disheveled clothes, sitting unkempt at the table and eating melon seeds.
"How did you get yourself like this?" Huai Yanqing smiled.
"If I was really interrogated in the yamen for a few days, would I still be able to keep my whole person clean and tidy?" Lin Jinxiu's mouth kept eating.
Huai Yanqing smiled helplessly.
"Come and try it, it's delicious." Lin Jinxiu handed over a handful of melon seeds, "It's rare to eat such delicious melon seeds." ”
"Don't eat it." Huai Yanqing shook his head, "I am a principled person. ”
"It's unprincipled to eat a melon seed?" Lin Jinxiu grinned, and with her unkempt appearance now, it was a little funny.
As he was talking, the county master and Qin Shuyao walked in from outside.
Qin Shuyao smiled the moment he saw Lin Jinxiu: "Miss Lin, you are really ready." ”
"That's it." Lin Jinxiu smiled and said, "In order to make it more real, it took me nearly an hour to make myself like this." ”
"Don't talk about this, what's the situation outside?" Lin Jinxiu asked.
The county magistrate glanced at Qin Shuyao and said, "Liu Shengjin's evidence is conclusive and he has been imprisoned, but there is no progress on Mo Xianglin's side. ”
Qin Shuyao added on the side: "And that Mo Xianglin gave up Liu Shengjin without any hesitation and took himself out." ”
"Ugh." Lin Jinxiu suddenly felt that Liu Shengjin was a little pitiful, and was abandoned so easily.
Qin Shuyao's words changed: "Miss Lin, you can go home now." ”
"Yes." Lin Jinxiu's eyes smiled crookedly, "I don't have to be convicted of treason?" ”
"Of course not." Qin Shuyao replied with a smile.
"That's a good feeling." Lin Jinxiu got up from the chair and draped the cloak on her body, "Remember to post an announcement to help me prove it." ”
"Yes." Qin Shuyao promised her, "Miss Lin, thank you." ”
Lin Jinxiu waved his hand as he walked out: "No thanks, no thanks, I'll send you something to eat another day." ”
"I'll go to your shop for dinner with the catchers in a few days." Qin Shuyao said.
"Okay!" Lin Jinxiu was a little happy when she heard that Qin Shuyao was coming to the store, "Then I have to entertain you." ”
After saying goodbye for a long time, Lin Jinxiu walked outside the yamen, and Huai Yanqing followed her with the chicken and the package on her back.
"I'm going to be able to set up shop next?" suddenly regained her free body, Lin Jinxiu was still a little unaccustomed.
Huai Yanqing nodded: "Yes, the store can be reopened." ”
Lin Jinxiu scratched her face: "That's good." ”
"Remember to lose money for Pippi Chicken." Huai Yanqing reminded.
"Remember, I'll go tomorrow morning." Lin Jinxiu assured, "I will definitely go door to door to lose money and apologize." ”
Throughout the way, Lin Jinxiu and Huai Yanqing have been being watched by everyone.
The person who went to the court to listen to the case had completely spread the news that Miss Lin had cleared her grievances, and Huai Yanqing's affectionate and righteous behavior of finding evidence for her master had already touched many people.
Although Lin Jinxiu was wearing a black cloak, everyone could also see her dusty face and tired eyes.
"It seems that this child has suffered a lot in the yamen."
"I'll just say that Miss Lin can't be a traitor, how can such a strong woman be a traitor?"
"She stubbornly held on until Huai Yanqing came......"
"Fortunately, this Huai Yanqing is also affectionate and righteous, I thought he was looking for another way, but I didn't expect to find Lin Jinxiu's master!"
On the way back to the store, Lin Jinxiu and the others met a group of fast catchers, escorting Liu Erzhuang to the yamen.
This Liu Shengjin added medicine to the sugar packet, it is impossible for Liu Erzhuang not to know, at this moment, both father and son have been seized in the yamen, and this family is over.
I don't know what Aunt Liu's situation is now.
Lin Jinxiu was a little worried.
Finally returned to the store, Lin Jinxiu reached out and tore off the seal on the door, and walked in from the main entrance generously.
"Sister!" Ning Er saw that Lin Jinxiu was back, so she pounced.
Lin Jinxiu stretched out her hand to stop her: "Wait! I'm dirty, I'll hug it when I'm done! ”
With that, he walked to the backyard.
Ning'er grinned.
Huai Yanqing walked in with the chicken in his arms, closed the door casually, and the leather chicken jumped out of his arms and jumped to his small bed to rest.
"Pipsqueak is tired today, too." Huai Yanqing said, "It was chased by hundreds of people across half of the county." ”
"Woo oh......" Ning Er was very curious when she heard Pi Pi Ji's feat today, and took Huai Yanqing's arm and asked him to tell him what happened today.
