Xia Qiu was pressed to the ground and allowed to be bullied by the fierce Feng Yuzhu.

The servants rushed forward, slammed Feng Yuzhu's stomach with the handle of their sabers, and added a few more kicks, picking the person up with all their hands and feet.

Xia Qiu panicked and trembled with fright.

"I have no grievances with you...... Feng Yuzhu struggled like crazy, and screamed hysterically at Xia Qiu, "Why do you want to harm me?" Why are you robbing me of my money? Why ......"

Hey, there's a situation!

Feng Yuzhu was taken back to the court, and Xia Qiu was also invited in.

"My lord, it's this woman, she broke into my house with a man last night, not only knocked me unconscious but also stuffed Butcher Liu into my room, she framed me for adultery, and asked my lord to investigate......

Feng Yuzhu, who collapsed, sat on the ground and cried, "My lord, you must return my innocence, I was wronged, all the evidence is that this woman framed me." ”

The ...... of the magistrate The maid in the room, the legend has it that Xia Chubby, who injured her master's waist because of a fierce battle, actually teamed up with others to frame Feng Yuzhu for adultery?

The subordinate officials were surprised, the gossip in their hearts was boiling, and they couldn't help but look at Lu Tingxiu who was sitting in the public hall curiously, the show is coming!

Regarding Feng Yuzhu's incoherent accusation, Lu Tingxiu didn't seem surprised, and his handsome facial features were not smiling.

Xia Qiu, who was invited in, looked helpless and scared, completely unaware of what was going on.

Lu Tingxiu said calmly: "Why did she frame you? ”

"For the money!" Feng Yuzhu was angry and out of control, "Last night, she broke into my house with others and stole ten catties of gold bars. Afterwards, I was afraid that I would report to the official, so he set up a bureau to frame me for adultery. ”

Lu Tingxiu asked, "How did you get ten catties of gold bars?" ”

Feng Yuzhu, who was too radical in "......", was suddenly stunned by Lu Tingxiu's questioning.

No, that's not right!

"My lord, this is the hard-earned money that my husband and wife have saved hard for a lifetime, you have to help me recover it." Feng Yuzhu grabbed Xia Qiu and didn't let go, her face was full of fierceness, "Take out my money quickly......"

Xia Qiu picked Feng Yuzhu away and said angrily: "Inexplicable, I don't know what you're talking about at all." ”

Feng Yuzhu leaned forward again and grabbed her, "Don't think that I won't recognize you if you wear a hood, you are fat like this, even if you turn into ashes, I will recognize you." ”

"What's wrong with me being fat?" Xia Qiu sprayed her face, "Have you eaten your food?" ”

"Bang" sounded, and Lu Tingxiu shouted: "Above the court, Hugh is messing around." ”

After tasting the power of the board before, Feng Yuzhu restrained a little, suppressed his anger, and knelt down in a disciplined manner.

Lu Tingxiu said solemnly: "Feng, how did you get your money?" ”

Feng Yuzhu was stunned and snorted: "My lord, what I just said is the hard-earned money of my husband and wife. ”

"It's nonsense." Lu Tingxiu refuted in a deep voice: "After deducting the outside of the house, it is already good to have one or two taels of silver left in a year, counting you and some small businesses, the surplus is only five or six taels a year." Ten pounds of gold bars are something you can't earn in two lifetimes. ”

Feng Yuzhu was completely stupid and couldn't say a word.

Lu Tingxiu's expression was grim, not angry, but threatening, "If you let this official administer justice for you, this official must first find out how your money came from." ”

"Her money is from selling meat." Butcher Liu and his mother squeezed in, adding fuel and vinegar and said: "My lord, how can she do a small business, she is idle all day long, and she always loves to seduce men." ”

Butcher Liu's family expressed their support, although they couldn't come up with evidence, but the money must have come from the wrong way.

"Ahem...... This posture is almost the same upside down. Xu Mingliang on the side of the public hall pressed his throat, and said in a strange manner: "With so much money, I'm afraid I won't be able to see the light......"

This incitement even officials whispered about it.

Feng Yuzhu broke out in a cold sweat, regretting that she shouldn't be impulsive. She knew that her money would not be seen, so even if she was tied up in court and convicted of adultery, she didn't dare to tell the truth about last night, because she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to tell it clearly.

But I never expected that this dead girl named Xia Qiu not only wanted to kill herself three times and twice, stealing gold was not counted, but also exposed her ugly things.

Feng Yuzhu suddenly came back to her senses at this time, her provocation just now was clearly deliberate.

"My lord, this money was given to me by someone else." Feng Yuzhu hurriedly thought of a reason, "Half a year ago, when I was out to save an injured businessman, he thanked me for saving my life, so he gave gold as a thank you gift. ”

Someone in the crowd of onlookers mocked: "Yo, why didn't I catch up with such a good thing?" ”

Lu Tingxiu asked, "Is there any physical evidence?" ”

"In the barren mountains and wilderness, how can anyone testify." Feng Yuzhu replied: "The man gave me the money, and he didn't leave his name and address. If you don't believe it, you can send someone to check, and maybe you can find out one or two. ”

After speaking, she seemed to tell the physical characteristics of the merchant.

Lu Tingxiu paused for a moment, "You keep saying that she robbed you of your silver, but you saw it with your own eyes last night?" ”

"That's right, it's her." Feng Yuzhu said in a firm tone: "I recognize it when it turns into ashes." ”

Lu Tingxiu looked at Xia Qiu, who was kneeling under the hall, "Do you know the Feng family?" ”

"The folk girl didn't know her at all, let alone about gold." Xia Qiu rubbed the place where he was beaten, turned his head and asked Feng Yuzhu, "Since you said that I robbed it, can there be any physical evidence?" Don't talk about wronging people. ”

Feng Yuzhu was deflated, and she really couldn't come up with evidence, unless she found Xia Qiu's accomplices. But the man was wearing a hood, and she didn't see it clearly.

Lu Tingxiu's gaze fell on Xia Qiu, "Where were you when the crime happened last night?" ”

"Yesterday, I had dinner at Fuguilou at the invitation of Hua Ting, the son of the Hua family, and I probably came back when I was a child." Xia Qiu looked up at Lu Tingxiu, and there was a subtle smile on the corner of his mouth, "If you don't believe it, you can check it." ”

Xu Mingliang recruited a quick arrest and sent someone to invite Hua Ting.

"I'm here!" Outside the yamen, a loud voice sounded.

Immediately afterwards, the crowd of onlookers automatically gave way, and Hua Ting, who was wearing a gorgeous brocade, swaggered in with a jade fan in his hand.

Entering the court, the subordinate directly placed a Taishi chair next to him, Hua Ting sat down on the chair, and said menacingly: "Xiao Xia, who bullied you?" Say, Lao Tzu must have peeled his skin! ”

Xu Mingliang briefly recounted the facts of the case.

Hua Ting's eyes widened, "That's right, I invited Xiao Xia to dinner in Fuguilou last night, and then we parted very late after the moon." ”

The subordinate officials were in an uproar, the rich people really knew how to play, and they all played with the girls of the county order's house.

The jade fan slammed into Feng Yuzhu's face, Hua Ting leaned his head over, and said in a deep voice: "Look at me, look at Lao Tzu, like a person who lacks ten catties of gold?" My Xiaoxia is not short of money, I can pick the moon in the sky if she wants it, and I can rob you of your money! ”
