"And you don't know my two children, but you let your coachman go down to save them, isn't it weak-hearted? It must be you and your fellow coachmen who are pushing my child down......"

The two of them were still unable to solve the problem after such an argument, so Song Huai followed the child and the child's parents to the government and asked the official to solve the matter.

Now the official who is now on an errand in the county yamen is this year's new champion - He Tingchen.

Hearing that someone was beating a drum outside, He Tingchen didn't even have time to take a sip of tea, so he came to the court.

He picked up the shocking wood and sat down in the public court, which made people awe-inspired.

"Who's beating the drum?"

Before Song Huaiyue could speak, the child's mother cried in the court, as if she had been greatly wronged, "My lord, you have to make decisions for us, my father-in-law and I went to work in the fields today...... The two children were left alone in the house...... Since she pushed her down the river. ”

The woman could be regarded as having finished speaking, and it sounded as if it were true, and Song Huaiyue herself had to believe what she said.

He Tingchen patted the startling wood in his hand and said to Song Huaiyue: "This girl, those two children said that you and your coachman pushed them down the river, do you admit guilt?" ”

She had never done anything like this at all, how could she possibly confess?

Song Huaiyue said: "No, my lord, I didn't push those two children into the water at all, they wronged me." I was sitting in a carriage...... Let my coachman kindly save two children. ”

Soon, the master beside He Tingchen recognized Song Huaiyue's identity and told He Tingchen.

He Tingchen said: "Now you both have your own opinions, this girl said that she was saving two children, and these two children were pushed down by you and your coachman...... The official can't tell which of you is telling the truth now, so he has to rest for a stick of incense and then be on trial. ”

After retiring, the master suddenly came to the side of the two children, took the older boy down to rest, brought her some fruit cakes to eat, and left the younger sister to stay here.

After the time of a stick of incense has passed, the ascension continues.

He Tingchen patted the wooden case in his hand and asked the little girl who fell into the water: "Little girl, you just said that it was this sister who pushed your brother into the river first, and then you went to rescue the brother, and was pushed into the river by the coachman next to her, right?" ”

The little girl nodded, "Yes." ”

He Tingchen continued to ask: "Then do you remember that this sister at that time pushed your brother down from the left or right, or directly from the middle?" ”

The little girl thought for a moment and said, "It's pushed down from the middle." ”

Song Huaiyue originally thought that the new champion would be a very smart person, but she couldn't even see the scam, thinking that she was a bad person who was pushed down the river by a child.

He Tingchen said: "Little girl, you answered very well, the official allowed you to go to the back hall to rest for a while, and let your brother come to interrogate, okay?" ”

In the eyes of children, there is only food, so they naturally say yes.

"Someone, take this little girl to the back of the hall to rest, and bring her brother up."

The parents of the children couldn't understand what medicine was being sold in the gourd of the county magistrate?

Soon another child was brought to court, and He Tingchen asked: "You said that my sister pushed you into the river, do you remember how she pushed you down the river at that time?" Is it holding your left shoulder or the other shoulder...... The back pushes you down the river. ”

The boy didn't know how to talk, and looked down at his mother, who didn't give her any reaction.

Seeing that he didn't answer, He Tingchen said, "What's the matter?" Do you have to think about it for so long to happen in one hour? ”

The boy was a little frightened, and immediately replied, "It's the left shoulder, and she rushed from the left, grabbed my left shoulder, and pushed me down the river." ”

The boy's reply stunned everyone in the court......

He Tingchen patted the shocked wood again, and said: "Quiet, the truth of this matter has now been revealed, it is the two children's inconsistent confessions, it is obvious that they are lying, this young lady, kindly and the coachman went to save people, but they were framed...... This official is going to deal with the crooked wind now, come on, and immediately drag the parents of this pair of children down, and the big thirty boards. ”

The two children immediately knelt on the ground with pale faces in fright, "Adults, we ......"

The people watching from the periphery of the public hall all applauded and praised this county magistrate, it was simply Bao Qingtian alive.

It turned out that the child's parents were living in a farming family by the river, and they made a living by fishing and selling on weekdays, and the two children were familiar with the water since they were young, so the parents let them pretend to fall into the water, and they were rescued by someone, and when they rescued them, they insisted that they pushed them down the river, and the child's parents took the opportunity to blackmail money.

didn't expect to meet someone as tough as Song Huaiyue, who had to come to the yamen, and the child's parents were not afraid to go to the yamen, because most of the people felt that children would not lie, let alone make such a ridiculous trap.

After everyone heard this, they were dumbfounded, there are such ridiculous parents in this world.

Now that the case has been broken, Song Huaiyue and the coachman have been cleared, and they were about to leave, but they were stopped by the master.

"Miss Song, I'm sorry to wait for a while, we adults have something to tell you."

How did she know that she was from the Song Mansion?

Song Huaiyue remembered that she had returned her innocence just now, so she stayed.

"My lord, I don't know what you want to tell me?"

He Tingchen said: "I have wronged Miss Song about the matter of Fang Cai, I believe that after this heavy punishment, the parents of the children will no longer dare to do such a deceptive thing." ”

Song Huaiyue smiled and said, "Thanks to my lord's judgment of the case, I can repay my innocence, and I will definitely tell my brother when I go back, and let him thank you for me." ”

With that, Song Huaiyue turned around and left.

When he returned to the mansion, Song Huaiyue told He Tangerine about it, and He Tangerine was also shocked when he heard it, and said, "There is such a thing......

Song Huaiyue drank tea and said, "Yes, I can't believe that there is such a ridiculous thing in the world, but I have encountered it." ”

Song Huainan walked in, "What are you talking about?" ”

He Tangtong told Song Huainan what happened to Song Huaiyue on the way back.

She felt a little unfair for Song Huaiyue, "My lord, you said that the second sister obviously did a good deed, but she was blackmailed by others, it's really chilling?" ”

Song Huainan touched her head, and then asked Song Huaiyue: "You said that it was the county magistrate who judged the case like a god, but this year's new champion-He Tingchen?" ”
