Chapter 147: Cui Lao Er's Testimony
Tong Chuxue also knelt down, "My lord, the girl is the owner of Fuyuan Restaurant, because there are always hooligans harassing her in the past few days, so the restaurant has been closed, but today these people came to me to smash the door and threatened to smash the store." My lord, the people's daughters have always operated in good faith, and the filial piety that should be given is not less, but I don't know why this is the case, and I have to be so threatened by people, begging the adults to call the shots for the people's daughters. ”
The county master was very big when he heard it, he didn't know this Cui Zhao, he knew better that there was an adult behind Cui Zhao, and it was that adult who protected him that he could run rampant here.
Fortunately, Cui Zhao's incident today did not cause any serious consequences, and the county magistrate estimated in his heart that a small punishment would be almost enough, but the process that should be taken still has to be followed.
"Come on, bring Cui Zhao."
The official was ordered to go out, and after a short time, Cui Zhao was taken to the court.
Regarding his instruction to smash the store, Cui Zhao denied it, "My lord, I have never met these people, and it is even more nonsense to instruct them to smash the store, and these people must have framed me." ”
The county master also has a headache, this group of people can't come up with strong evidence to prove that a few people are related to Cui Zhao, and he can't force his head to admit it, so it will be a trick.
"How many of you, what do you have to say?" The county magistrate asked.
This group of people also felt very wronged, "My lord, this matter is clearly what this Boss Cui asked us to do, otherwise we have no grievances, why bother to find trouble in the restaurant." ”
Cui Zhao calmly defended himself, "How do I know this, I have never met a few of you." Since you said that I want you to smash the restaurant, then come up with evidence, otherwise who can believe it. ”
The group choked, and when it came to evidence, none of them had it.
"I ...... But this is obviously what you asked us to do, Boss Cui, how can you turn your face and deny it. The group was furious.
However, no matter how angry they are, it is useless, Cui Zhao did not leave any handle, as long as he flatly denied it, this pot would not be his turn.
Things are at an impasse.
Cui Zhao said calmly, "My lord, the grass people have been doing business in the county for many years, and they have always been sincere to others, and everyone knows that they will never deny what they have done. ”
At this time, Tong Chuxue suddenly spoke, "My lord, the folk girl has something to say." ”
"Cui Zhao kept saying that he didn't know the few people who came to smash the store today, but the people felt that Cui Zhao had every motive to instruct a few people to smash the store."
"How?" The county magistrate asked.
"This Boss Cui, when our restaurant was not open, forced the woman to sign an extremely unfair deed, asking the woman to hand over half of the store's income to him, if the woman did not comply, the restaurant would not be able to operate."
"The folk girl was timid, so she had to swallow her anger, but after the folk girl handed over the first share, Cui Zhao was not satisfied, she once brought someone to smash my shop, and now those smashed tables and chairs are still in the store. Therefore, the folk girl thought that this smashing incident was very likely to be instigated by Boss Cui. ”
When Cui Zhao heard this, he lowered his face and said sharply, "Tong Chuxue, you signed the deed voluntarily, and after your restaurant opened, I never troubled you, don't spray people with blood." ”
Tong Chuxue immediately retorted, "Why am I spraying people with blood, when you came to smash the store, the little two in the store saw it, but I didn't make it up." ”
"Tong Chuxue, don't confuse the audition again, what we are talking about today about the group of people smashing the store, what is the relationship with the past." Cui Zhaodao.
"I'm just saying what I think, and I think today's events were done at your behest." Tong Chu Snow Trail.
The more the two talked in the court, the more it looked like a quarrel, and the county magistrate was upset by the quarrel and shouted, "Quiet! ”
The two of them gave up.
As Tong Chuxue said, Cui Zhao does have a motive, but without tangible evidence for this, he can't be convicted at all.
Just when he was at a loss, a voice suddenly came from outside.
"My lord, the grass people have something to say."
The person who came was Cui Zhao's brother Cui Laoer.
Cui Zhao was originally full of confidence, just thinking that he was here to go through the motions, but he didn't expect Cui Lao Er to come, and he suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.
Sure enough, Cui Lao Er knelt on the ground as soon as he came, "Caomin is Cui Zhao's younger brother, and it was my eldest brother Cui Zhao who smashed Fuyuan Restaurant today." ”
When Cui Zhao heard Cui Er's words, his head was buzzing, and he couldn't have imagined that it was his own brother who had cheated him.
"Cui Er, what nonsense are you talking about!"
"Big brother, I'm not talking nonsense, I'm still looking at these people you are looking for, you said that as long as they smash the Fuyuan Restaurant for you, they will have two taels of silver." Cui Lao Er said.
The current situation makes the county master incomprehensible, it stands to reason that the Cui family should want to protect Cui Zhao, but this Cui Lao Er opened his mouth to force Cui Zhao to prison, it seems that the Cui family is probably going to change the sky, does this Cui family change the sky does it mean that something happened to the big man behind the Cui family.
The county magistrate had a lot of thoughts in his head, and simply said, "There are a lot of doubts in today's case, and several parties have their own opinions, and someone will come to press Cui Zhao and the villagers of Hongmei Village into prison, and wait for a retrial at a later date." ”
Cui Zhao turned his head and glared at Cui Lao Er fiercely.
But Cui Lao Er didn't have any fear, he just smiled at Cui Zhao and said in a low voice, "Big brother, take care." ”
Subsequently, the officials pressed the group into prison without saying anything.
Obviously, there is no result today, Tong Chuxue can only return to the restaurant and wait for the next promotion.
The previous traces in the hall of the restaurant are still left and have not been cleaned up, Luo Hui'an's explanation is that the county government may have to send someone to see it later, and it is best not to clean it up first, so as not to cause trouble.
"But today's matter has no result at all, and I don't know how the county master will judge later." Tong Chuxue still felt a little worried.
"Don't worry, Cui Zhao will definitely stay in prison for a while, after all, his brothers don't want him to come out." Luo returned to Andao.
"However, you didn't say that Cui Zhao was the Cui family responsible for contacting the people behind it, if Cui Zhao was gone......" Tong Chuxue was worried.
Luo Hui'an put down the teacup and analyzed with Tong Chuxue, "The relationship between the Cui family and that adult is not maintained by Cui Zhao, but by the silver offered by the Cui family, as long as the silver is still there, then that person is still willing to take care of the Cui family, and it doesn't matter whether Cui Zhao has it or not." ”
Only then did Tong Chuxue understand why Luo Hui'an was determined to loosen the Cui family, in the final analysis, bringing down a Cui Zhao would not affect the forces behind the Cui family, and several brothers could also get real benefits from it.
"Several brothers of the Cui family have been separated for many years, and their hearts have long stopped thinking about one place, as long as we operate a little, they can fall apart by themselves." Luo Hui'an said, "In fact, Cui Zhao does have some talent in business, and several other brothers in his family have long been raised by Cui Zhao, but unfortunately they don't think it themselves, and they think that as long as they get rid of Cui Zhao, they can make more money." ”
"At that time, our Fuyuan Restaurant will be able to annex it strongly, and we will collapse the foundation of the Cui family for decades without moving a single soldier." Tong Chuxue took the lead.
"You'd love to be the boss of the industry?" Luo Hui'an suddenly asked.
"No, I'm just not happy to be controlled by people." Tong Chuxue said, this feeling of being choked by others is breathless, she has had enough of this in the last days.
Luo Hui'an's eyes flashed and he didn't speak.
If you don't want to be controlled by others, you have to stand higher than others.
