Soon, it was time for the Yamen to openly try the Cao family's case. The matter of Cao Li, the eldest brother of the Cao family, helping Cao Yu escape, has already been full of turmoil, and after some twists and turns, the Cao family has no way to fill the vacancy with silver, so they can only be in a hurry.

Many people came to this interrogation, and the entrance of the yamen was blocked tightly, and most of them came to see the excitement. People are chattering, all discussing the affairs of the Cao family, some good and some bad, some feel wronged, and some say cool things.

Li and Huang stood at the front, eager to find a crack to get into. Ling Xiu'er was watching the excitement from the sidelines indifferently, and Fan Meihua also came.

"Ascension!"

After a while, the county magistrate came up in his official uniform, sat down on a chair in the middle, and slapped the table with a startled wood solemnly.

"Your Majesty Cao Li, now that the official has decided that you helped Cao Yu escape in the theft case, can you plead guilty? Do you have anything to say? ”

"Master, I've been wronged!" Cao Li shouted loudly.

"Someone, bring witnesses."

Soon, the catcher came up with Linghua.

"Linghua, tell me everything you know."

"Yes." Linghua knelt down at the foot of the hall and said, "That day, when I came out of the room, I saw Cao Lisai giving Cao Yu some silver taels, and also helped him to lure away the catcher and let him escape over the wall. ”

"You're telling the truth."

"Not bad!" Linghua affirmed, and then, she pretended to be afraid and glanced at Cao Li, wanting to cry, "Master doesn't know, then Cao Li found me after helping Cao Yu escape, and took out a knife to threaten me." said that if I dared to say a word, he would call me die in this Cao family! I really didn't dare to say it before, but now I don't dare to deceive you. ”

"Bold Cao Fence!" The county official glared at Cao Liang and said angrily.

"I've been wronged!"

Cao Liang really wanted to cry without tears, what enmity did he have against Linghua, why did he frame himself like this.

After listening to Linghua's nonsense, the Li and Wang families outside the arena jumped to their feet angrily.

"Rhombus! You just want to harm my Cao family! You're just talking nonsense! Li Shi became excited, shouting that he was going to go in and fight Linghua, and his expression was really like tearing her up.

Huang was also not calm, and kept scolding, saying that Linghua was a wicked person and would be punished.

"Rhombus! I'm going to tear your mouth out! My Cao family has no grievances with you, but you have framed and threatened us again and again! Dare to tell lies in front of the county officials! Li rushed in like crazy, seeing that he was only a few steps away from Linghua.

"Bold Lee! How can you be in the public court? ”

The county magistrate was furious and remade the shocking wood, and the surrounding officials immediately came up to stop the Li family and prevent her from approaching again.

Thanks to the order of this county, otherwise everyone would have to watch a life-and-death martial arts scene.

"Master, they still say that I lie, you see how they want to kill me." Linghua wiped away her tears a few times in a fake look, pointed at Li Shi and said, "I said this today, I'm afraid they will kill me when I go out." ”

"Silence! Give me silence! The county magistrate was upset by this group of people, and smashed the shocked wood on the table, "Withdraw from the court, and try it again later!" ”

The county magistrate frowned tightly and left with his hands behind his back. He understands what it means to be a clean official and difficult to decide family affairs, and today's case is not only troublesome.

"Ling Xiu'er, even if it's for Cao Yu's sake, help us, help your eldest brother!" The Li family really had no choice, even if they were unwilling, they could only ask Ling Xiu'er for help at this time.

"Sister-in-law, it's not that I don't want to help you, it's just that three-year-old children know what they need to say to find someone to help. I'm embarrassed by your attitude. ”

Ling Xiu'er is happy to see their jokes, and now they want to let themselves help? It's not impossible, but the attitude has to be a little better.

"Please, please!" Li Shi's face turned red, and he spit out these words unwillingly, "Okay, I beg you." ”

"Ling Xiu'er, how can you say that you are also from my Cao family, you can't not save your eldest brother when he dies." Huang also chimed in.

"Good. Since you have begged me, how can I not agree to it, brother and sister. ”

Ling Xiu'er nodded with a smile and walked towards the court.

Soon the case was re-elevated to continue the trial.

"County magistrate, I have something I want to ask Linghua." Ling Xiu'er saluted respectfully and pleaded.

"Okay, you ask." The county magistrate nodded.

"Linghua, did you see Cao Yu help Cao Yu escape?" Ling Xiu'er faced Linghua, stared at her with scrutinizing eyes, and asked word by word.

After those things before, Linghua was a little afraid of Ling Xiu'er in her heart, and this time she didn't know what medicine she was selling in her gourd, so she could only nod her head and say yes.

"Okay, then I'll ask you when you met."

"On the evening of the twentieth. I saw it by the moonlight. ”

"Nonsense! On the twentieth it rained for a day, and the light was dim at night, so how could you be sure that what you saw must be Cao Li. ”

"No, no, no, it could be the twenty-one. It's been so long, where do I remember it so clearly? ”

Ling Xiu'er just cheated Linghua, but she didn't want her to be so easy to fall for it.

"Well, just if you're mistaken. So where did you see it? ”

"In the back garden of the Cao family, he escaped over the wall."

"Cao Yu is a scholar, how can he have such great ability? Don't I know him better than you do? Ling Xiu'er's expression changed, and her tone became much more stern.

"This ......" Linghua was so shocked that she was speechless.

"Then I'll ask you again, there are people besides you who can see it."

"Nope." Linghua shook her head a little panicked, and hurriedly added, "What's the point of you asking this, I did see it!" ”

"Lord County Official, I think the matter of whether Linghua has seen it still needs to be investigated. Her time and place are very vaguely described, and no one else has seen it, just based on her words, I am afraid that it will be difficult to convince everyone to condemn Cao Li in this way. Ling Xiu'er ignored Linghua and put forward her opinion to the county magistrate with reasonable evidence.

After listening to this, the county magistrate thought about it for a while, his heart was a little shaken, and he asked Linghua again: "Did you really see it?" The Judge now doubts your testimony as well. If you are unable to provide stronger evidence, the case will be re-examined. You'd better not tell a lie, or I'll punish you severely!" ”

Linghua saw that she was about to reveal her stuffing, her face turned pale, and she didn't know what she was muttering.

At this moment, Fan Meihua, who had been watching outside the hall for a long time, suddenly walked out.

"County magistrate, the women have something to say!"

Fan Meihua is also a well-known figure in this county, and the county officials can't ignore her, so they let the officials let her in.

"Fan Meihua, what do you have to say?"
