Chapter 66: Blackmail
"Ladies and gentlemen, these black sheep can blackmail me today, and tomorrow they can blackmail you on your heads. Please also come with me to the Yamen as a witness and bring these scum to justice, lest outsiders say that our fellow officials are shameless. She didn't say that, and these people wouldn't willingly follow her to the yamen to testify for her.
Everyone in the world is like this, the fire does not burn on their bodies, and they are never in a hurry.
Sure enough, everyone gave the previous crusade to the current blackmailers. Many people are talking about it, and they have been deceived by the rhetoric of these people.
Tang Shiyu seemed to have forgotten the cursing that these people had scolding Mother Xu before, she was not capable now, she could only pretend to be deaf and dumb about what these people had just done.
As long as they are willing to testify, whether they are guilty or genuinely remorseful, she doesn't care. These people are insignificant to her, and they are not worth being annoyed with.
"Let's go, this boss!" Tang Shiyu said to the noodle stall owner who was shrunk aside.
"I ...... I'm not going, I'm still busy! The stall owner wanted to give her a kind smile, but after trying hard for a long time, his face was still stiff.
"I'm afraid I won't be able to go, you just said that there is a problem with my braised meat. If you find out that there is no problem with my braised meat, then you are framing. If it hadn't happened, she wouldn't have known that there was a poisonous snake hidden next to her stall, a poisonous snake that would bite her at any time.
"I was deceived by them" The cold sweat on the forehead of the paralyzed boss broke out one by one, and he was really scared.
"Have you been deceived by them, tell the county master to go, do you go by yourself or let me do it?" Tang Shiyu frowned, a little impatient.
"I'm ......," the trembling noodle stall owner could only agree to go.
"Sanzhuang, bring the braised meat with you, is there a problem with my family's braised meat, the county master will return my innocence." In this way, Tang Shiyu carried the noodle stall owner with his left hand, dragged the rope with his right hand, and there were four people buckled behind the rope. Followed by a large group of witnesses, they went to the county government in a mighty way.
The drum of grievances was beaten, and everyone was brought into the county office. Tang Shiyu, who followed the local customs, was also very honorable, and knelt directly in the lobby.
"Please make the decision for me, these people are blatantly blackmailing me in broad daylight, I didn't expect that there would be such a brazen scum in my Great Zhou Dynasty." Tang Shiyu pointed at those people with a shameless face.
"The defendant in the court, is what the plaintiff said true?" A cold voice came out unhurriedly.
Before those few people could speak, the witnesses outside gave an explanation.
"Silence" A startled sound sounded, and after the hall was silent, the cold voice spit out two words.
"Can the prisoners in the hall be convicted?" There was no aggressiveness in that cold voice, which made the hearts of those people tighten.
"My lord, spare your life!" They couldn't argue, so they could only kowtow desperately and beg for mercy.
"My lord, this noodle stall owner has framed my family's braised pork for a problem, please give me back my innocence." Tang Shiyu pointed at the noodle stall owner with an angry face, and his words revealed the grievances of being framed.
"Your Excellency has wronged! Her family's business is so good, she only sells so much every day and closes the stall, there must be something wrong with this. The noodle stall owner knew in his heart that as long as he bit on this point, not only would he not be guilty, but he might be able to bring her down.
"Since your family's business is so good, why don't you sell a little more, but close the stall early." Xiao Yanzhi didn't understand the business of merchants, but he knew that this was human nature.
Xiao Yanzhi is the county order of Tongguan County, and the emperor appointed the flower in the spring four years ago, and the young man became famous all over the world. During the parade on Chang'an Street, I don't know how many young girls in the flower season were stirred.
As he stepped into the officialdom, the once high-spirited teenager also calmed down. He disdained the deceit of the court, and after three years in Hanlin in obscurity, he chose to be delegated to the local government as the county magistrate.
"The reason why the stall was closed early was because I went to the dock to sell it at lunchtime, and adults can go to the dock to inquire if they don't believe it." These are real things, and she has nothing to fear.
Xiao Yanzhi gave Xiao An a look and motioned for him to investigate the matter. He doesn't listen to anyone's word for it, he believes in his ears, his eyes.
"Is there a problem with your braised pork?" Xiao Yanzhi knows that the key to the matter is whether there is a problem with this braised pork.
"No, I would like to guarantee with the head of the item, there will be absolutely no problems with my braised meat, and adults can find someone to check it." Tang Shiyu's voice was loud, and people couldn't help but feel her courage, and wondered where she got so much confidence?
"Go find a few doctors to check" Xiao Yanzhi commanded Xiao Zheng on the side, Xiao Zheng is his person has nothing to worry about, the reason why he asked him to find a few more doctors is nothing more than that he is afraid that someone will make a confession.
After a while, Xiao Zheng and several doctors arrived at the public hall first, and Tang Shiyu directly moved all the braised meat on the small cart inside, and the lid on the wooden barrel was always covered.
A doctor lifted the lid and a smell wafted out. People who have never eaten braised pork smell this fragrance and are curious about whether this delicacy is poisonous or not, and whether they can have a chance to taste it.
And Tang Shiyu's behavior was even more rude, I saw her take out a piece of braised pork from the wooden barrel, put it directly on the knife board, and hold it in her hand to facilitate the doctors' inspection.
Regardless of whether there is a problem with the braised meat, Tang Shiyu's bright and upright style can make people feel a burst of admiration in their hearts.
Several doctors first took out a silver needle and inserted it on the braised pork, and then took out a white handkerchief to wipe off the greasy on the braised pork. There is no doubt that the silver needle in everyone's hand is still shiny.
Then several people carefully tore off a strip of braised pork and put it in their mouths to taste. Even if the thing is not poisonous, they can rest assured that they will conduct an in-depth inspection.
"Back to my lord, not only is this braised pork not a problem, but it also has the effect of strengthening the body." Dr. Xu is a bit greedy for appetite, so his family often makes medicinal food, and he eats a lot of medicinal herbs in the braised meat.
"My lord, what Dr. Xu said is very true, and the price of these medicinal materials is not cheap, this little brother can fuse a variety of medicinal materials together, not only does not make these unpleasant medicinal materials smell, but makes the taste of this meat more delicious, little brother is a good craft!" The person who spoke was Dr. Qin, who had a white beard, and his reputation was very great in this county, and everyone was like thunder to him, and his ability was obvious to all.
"Thank you to the two doctors for correcting my name, and thank you for the old doctor's compliment!" Tang Shiyu sincerely thanked them, they can remain neutral and impartial, this is the greatest fairness to her.
