Chapter 379: Cage
"What about the old Ketou?" Master Zhang asked again.
Others told him about Lao Ke Tou taking leave and returning to his hometown.
Hearing that he would not come back in ten days, Master Zhang sneered and said, "Let me tell you the truth, this letter of denunciation was sent to this official yesterday morning, and this official only delayed this case until now because of his busy official duties." Maybe someone here from me told you that you let your tent man escape overnight, and then use such a rhetoric to prevaricate and deceive the official? ”
The corners of Ye Yun'er's mouth twitched, and she sighed in her heart that this adult's imagination was really rich.
For a moment, she had a hard time coping with the situation.
But she knew she couldn't compromise.
If she admits it, then her shop and workshop will have to be cut in half, and the loss will be very huge.
The scandalous reputation spreads, the credibility of her shop is gone, and the connections she has built up will be lost, and the consequences will probably be closed soon.
She can't afford such a heavy price, and she doesn't want to pay!
She suddenly felt the strength of her opponent.
The other party was able to think of such a way to kill her with one blow, which made her very sad, and this method was not insignificant.
But even if there is a glimmer of life, she has to fight for reason and get her innocence back.
It's a pity that she opened her mouth several times, but she didn't know what to refute.
Even Ah Fu and Ah Gui, who were watching outside, couldn't help but be anxious and worried for her, wiping the cold sweat oozing from their foreheads.
"You don't have anything to say this time, do you?" Master Zhang snorted coldly, and the startled voice shook the eardrums of the people present, "Why don't you hurry up and put this on the painting?" ”
Ye Yun'er clenched her hands, raised her eyes again, and made a final struggle, "My lord, if the folk girl doesn't admit that she has done such a thing, how can she easily draw a charge and bury everything she has in it?" ”
"With all this physical evidence, what else do you have to quibble?" Master Zhang threw the two accounts in front of her, and said quite sternly.
Ye Yun'er glanced at the account, then raised her eyes to look at the people on the high platform, and said word by word: "There is physical evidence, what about the human evidence?" If Lao Ketou admits that he was not instructed by others, but was instructed by me to do these tricks and feet, then there is a mountain of evidence, and the evidence is ironclad, isn't it? ”
I have to admit that Ye Yun'er is right.
Master Zhang frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and had to compromise, "It's okay, then someone will go to Lao Ketou's hometown to find him, and let him come back to testify with you." But you don't know where his hometown is? ”
"The folk girl doesn't know." Ye Yun'er pursed her lips twice, and told the truth in frustration.
That's when she really repented.
It is really necessary to write down the applicant's home address and relatives information, and then bring them to the store after verification.
She is really hearty to let such an ignorant person be the bookkeeper in charge of the important information in her store.
Master Zhang had no choice but to say, "You said he would come back in ten days." Then we will wait for ten days, and if he comes back, it is best to testify, and if he does not come back...... Then you can only consider yourself unlucky. ”
Ye Yun'er's heart seemed to have a hole, and she felt the cold wind pouring into it.
Is this saying that her net worth is all tied to such an old man?
But what could she say? This is already the greatest favor for her!
She clasped her hands, gritted her teeth, and finally agreed.
After all, in the past ten days, the Leng guards will probably transmit the news to Mu Yihan's side, right?
And Mu Yihan will never sit idly by and ignore what happened to her......
No, Master Zhang seemed to hear her heart, and continued to add: "In order to prevent your people from revealing the news to Lao Ketou and making him change his confession, those who are familiar with you, as well as the people in the store, all have to be placed under house arrest." It is not until the dust settles after ten days that we can continue to travel freely......"
This time, Ye Yun'er was really stunned!
She looked at Master Zhang in a daze, unable to believe that this was what an official of the imperial court said.
The thought in my heart became more and more solemn.
This Lord Zhang, it is likely that she deliberately wants her to lose everything she has?
"But my lord, this is unreasonable!" Ye Yun'er said with some annoyance, "In the past, the people's girls have never been as full of slaughter as adults when they saw people judge cases......
"Bold! Do you dare to doubt the judge's decision? Master Zhang scolded sharply, "Are you so reluctant to do this, are you afraid that Lao Ketou will not hear your message and come back to confess everything?" Hmph, this official has to take care of this level, so that you have no chance to take advantage of it! ”
"Come on, why don't you go and carry out the official's order?"
Under Lord Zhang's fierce gaze, several officials hurriedly agreed and walked down quickly.
Ah Fu Agui became the first two to be arrested and put under house arrest.
They shouted, "My lord, we are all good citizens, you can't do this to us, you can't do this to us......"
"Miss Ye was wronged, and we were wronged......"
It's a pity that these words entered the ears of Lord Zhang, but the left ear went in and out of the right ear, and the geese passed without a trace.
"Put Ye Yun'er in prison and take good care of it." Master Zhang said coldly, got up and walked to the back with his hands behind his back.
Ye Yun'er's whole body shook twice, and her mind was blank.
Could it be that she is exhausted at this time?
She couldn't help but touch her backpack, thinking to herself that she hadn't used a lot of good things in it, and wouldn't it be a pity to be strangled in the cradle by such despicable means?
She's unwilling, unwilling......
But she had to weep and follow the messenger to the prison, and into the dark and stinking realm.
The officer shoved her into a cell with several people.
The people inside were all unkempt, staring at her with bad intentions, and very detached and indifferent to her.
Ye Yun'er had no choice but to hide in the corner on the side, shrank up, and looked at the small hole in the high wall with discouragement.
That touch of brightness, for her at this time, was like the precious air that a drowning person hoped for, so that she could meet but could not ask for it.
When it was time for dinner, everyone came up to fight for their own dry rice.
When Ye Yun'er finally got it, there was only a little bit of food left.
She glanced at the rough, dusty rice and put it back in disgust.
The jailer glanced at her and sneered, "You still think this is your own home, and you still pick and choose?" If you don't eat, you'll be hungry, and after a few hungry meals, you'll feel that this meal is even more delicious than a feast in the palace. ”
"She doesn't eat me." Immediately an old woman went over and snatched the rice into her bosom, hid it in a corner and piled it with straw as if it were gold, and then sat down in front of it and ate the food in her hand, as if someone had snatched it from her.
Seeing that everyone was eyeing the bowl of rice, Ye Yun'er really felt pity for them.
At the same time, I thought to myself, if I stayed here for a long time, I am afraid that I would only have this bowl of rice wholeheartedly, right?
But this night, she was bound to go hungry.
