Chapter 117: A Last Stand

With the consent of Master Hu, Su Jiudong waved to Lan Menghan outside the door, Lan Menghan held Xie Hesheng hostage with his left hand, and held the confession book in his right hand, pushing away the messenger and going straight to the court.

Lan Menghan threw Xie Hesheng on the ground, presented the confession to Master Hu, and said lightly: "Lord Hu, this person is Xie Hesheng of Qishan Restaurant, this is the confession sent by Lord Qincha for interrogation, Xie Hesheng has already confessed to everything." ”

"My lord! The villain has a question! Xie Hesheng is the runner in our restaurant, and he disappeared inexplicably two days ago, but for some reason, he appeared in the Qincha Xingyuan, and was even interrogated by Lord Qincha? ”

As soon as the Chang Dong family of the Qishan Restaurant heard that the minister was also involved, they suddenly couldn't stand.

Lan Menghan's face did not change and he lied: "You ran to steal things and stole to the Qincha Xingyuan, and you were caught by the Evergrande people." Under some interrogation, Xie Hesheng inadvertently confided in you about framing the Yongyuan Medicinal Restaurant. ”

"Before leaving, the Evergrande people specially instructed the lowly to assist in the investigation of this matter." Lan Menghan deliberately accentuated the words "Evergrande people" to emphasize the important meaning.

"How is this possible?! The Qincha Xingyuan was heavily guarded, how could Xie Hesheng run to the Qincha Xingyuan to steal things? It's clear that you, the Evergrande people, and Lord Qincha are lying......"

One of the restaurant proprietors grew quieter as he spoke, realizing that he had offended Chincha-sama, and finally had to cover his mouth.

Most of the people in the court were suspicious of the possibility that Xie Hesheng had gone to the Qincha to steal things, but no one dared to say anything about the actions and instructions of the Qincha.

With Wen Yiheng's special instructions, Master Hu didn't dare to be impatient, and checked the confession back and forth many times, knowing the cause and effect of the matter, and the ins and outs.

"Okay, the official has finished reading Xie Hesheng's confession, and everything in the meantime is known." Master Hu carefully placed the confession on his left hand, reorganized his state, sat solemnly, and solemnly announced:

"Qishan Restaurant, together with several other restaurants, poisoned and assassinated the Su family's third room, intending to frame the Jonway Medicinal Restaurant, maliciously competing and snatching the source of customers......"

"My lord! The villain still has objections! Chang Dongjia protested unwillingly: "From beginning to end, there is only one side of Xie Hesheng's words, and adults should listen to other people's remarks." This is the county government hall, how can it be a hall of words of Evergrande people? ”

"Chang Dongjia, haven't you forgotten the official position and responsibilities of the minister?" Su Jiudong stared at the indignant Chang Dongjia fixedly, and asked indifferently:

"When the minister arrived at the locality, he could not only deal with general local affairs and supervise military affairs, but also be responsible for hearing cases involving serious crimes and provincial officials. Isn't it enough to try this little case? ”

Chang Dongjia bowed his hand in the direction of the capital and said solemnly: "The Holy Lord sent the minister to inspect the city, in order to prevent favoritism and fraud in the local area, and the situation of officials protecting each other. ”

One of the proprietors echoed indignantly: "Evergrande is the entourage of the minister, and he maintains the medicinal food hall everywhere, and the minister is on the side of the Evergrande, isn't this evidence of the protection of officials and officials?" What a flagrant defiance of the Holy Will! ”

"Bold! Do you know what you're talking about? How can you frame the people of Evergrande and the minister of the Qincha at will?! Master Hu loudly scolded those owners for their forgetfulness, for fear that someone with a heart would listen to these remarks and report them to Chu Lufeng.

Realizing his gaffe, the restaurant owner also restrained a little, no longer staring at the minister, and turned to make a fuss about Wen Yiheng's identity.

"The Evergrande people are only members of the entourage of the minister, and their authority is very limited, mainly assisting the minister in handling the case, but they are not allowed to interfere in the trial and judgment."

Several restaurant owners seemed to be able to expect that Su Jiudong would ask Wen Yiheng for help, so they were prepared for this, and even the court-central system of the entourage of the minister from the side of the door also moved out.

"The confession of the Evergrande people can be used as a reference, but it cannot be used as evidence for conviction." One of the restaurant owners directly chose not to admit the statements in the confession.

"Lord Hu, you are an official of the imperial court, you should know the system of our dynasty, how can you let the people of Evergrande interfere with the handling of cases by local officials at will?"

Chang Dongjia took advantage of the victory and pursued: "Lord Hu, you can't worry about Evergrande people because they are related to Wen Xiang in the court!" ”

Chang Dongjia's words ignited the flames inside and outside the court.

Qishan County has long had a relationship between Wen Yiheng and Wen Xiang in the DPRK, so many people are afraid of this.

In front of the powerful, the lives of the people are like mustard, and it is because the people hate the powerful and oppress people by power, so there are also many people who do not know the situation, because of the rumors, they have inexplicable hostility towards Wen Yiheng.

Chang Dongjia took the initiative to move the rumors of Wen Yiheng and Wen Xiang to the court, clearly saying that the people watching the heat outside the door were happy to see the fight between officials and magnates, and they wanted to fight as chaotic as possible. 3a Reading Network

Su Jiudong saw that because Wen Yiheng himself was not present, several restaurant owners were not afraid of Wen Yiheng's identity, and they were even more eager to ignite the people's emotions like adding fuel to the fire. It seems that for now, we can only rely on ourselves......

Su Jiudong cleared his mind in his mind, regrouped, and prepared for the battle.

"Lord Hu, since Chang Dongjia and several other owners refuse to admit Xie Hesheng's confession provided by Evergrande, then I implore Lord Hu to allow me to use the existing evidence to make a good deal from scratch." Su Jiudong asked Master Hu for his favor.

With the consent of Master Hu, Su Jiudong set his sights on Wang Baihe and the grocery shopping uncle who provided information.

Master Hu asked cautiously again: "Wang Baihe, can you be sure that Xie Hesheng in front of you is the fishmonger who sold poisonous fish to you that day?" ”

Wang Baihe repeatedly looked at Xie Hesheng's characteristics, and nodded solemnly in confirmation.

Master Hu asked the vegetable uncle again, and the vegetable uncle also answered the same way, and even mentioned the details of Xie Hesheng only selling the fish to Wang Baihe and leaving in a hurry.

"Chen Jiawei, was it this Xie Hesheng in front of you that day, who paid you money and instructed you to go to the third room of the Su family to deliver braised chicken?"

The sister-in-law of the Chen family nodded heavily, not daring to hide anything. At present, she is just a small link to help deliver chicken, and she believes that there is no murder for money, so she confesses to it.

The Chen family's sister-in-law's generous admission attracted Su Xingwang's roll of the eyes and scolding: "You stinky woman!" In vain, I treat you as a neighbor, but you want to harm us for a little money! ”

The sister-in-law of the Chen family did not have the slightest shame in the face of the third room: "You just talk about me!" Don't you love money? Didn't you gamble for a little money before, and secretly borrowed money from the one in my family! You lost the bet and haven't paid it back, and I haven't looked for you to come back! ”

Master Hu couldn't bear to pay attention to the quarrel between the two, and stopped it with a loud voice: "Silence! This is a public court, and it is forbidden to make noise at will during interrogation! ”

Su Jiudong took out two silver hairpins, one of which was a silver hairpin that was found to be poisonous in the three-room house that day, and the part stained with poinsettia had turned black. The other is a brand new silver hairpin.

Su Jiudong asked to take the silver hairpin to verify the yellow croaker provided by the Su family's third room in the court, and first used the silver hairpin to test for poison, and the silver hairpin immediately changed color. The yamen came to judge that the poison in the fish was poinsettias.

"This kind of poison called 'poinsettia' appeared in Xie Hesheng's house, and now it has been confirmed that the person who poisoned it came from your Qishan restaurant." Su Jiudong held the discolored silver hairpin in front of Chang Dongjia, which was indisputable.

"How can the things that appeared in Xie Hesheng's house be relied on in our Qishan restaurant?" Chang Dongjia's face changed slightly due to the appearance of poinsettias, don't look over his head and refuse to look at it again.

Lan Menghan threw a dark blue piece to the ground, and Su Jiudong pointed to the clothes and asked Chang Dongjia: "This clothing is the work uniform that Xie Hesheng received in the Qishan restaurant, and it is also stained with poinsettia. Chang Dongjia, how are you going to quibble now? ”

"Do you need to use poinsettias to cook the dishes in your Qishan restaurant?" Su Jiudong shouted loudly to the onlookers outside the door: "This poinsettia is poison, how can you Qishan Restaurant put poison in the food for the guests to eat?" ”

"Could it be that your Qishan restaurant puts poinsettia in the food to make the guests addicted to the food and lock the diners? That's despicable......"

"Shut up!" Chang Dongjia stepped forward to grab Su Jiudong, who was shouting, and scolded angrily: "How can the reputation of our Qishan restaurant allow you to slander at will?!" ”

"Chang Dongjia, the reputation of your Qishan Restaurant cannot be slandered, can the reputation of our Yongyuan Medicinal Restaurant be slandered by you at will? How can you be such a double standard?! Su Jiudong asked sharply.

"For the sake of your own business, you have joined forces to harm our Medicinal Diet Pavilion and ruin the reputation of the Medicinal Diet Pavilion! You are the most despicable and shameless people! Su Jiudong took advantage of the reason, and he was not afraid of the forces behind the owner, so he simply vomited it quickly.

"The Su family went to your medicinal restaurant to eat on a temporary basis, how could we expect it? How could he come up with a plan to frame your Medicinal Diet Pavilion in just one day? Chang Dongjia was dying and struggling, but he still refused to admit it.

"The Su family went to eat in the medicinal restaurant, but it was just an inducement." Su Jiudong sensed that Chang Dongjia had been hit by the evidence presented one after another, and continued to chase north.

"Even if there is no Su family to eat at the medicinal restaurant, there will be the Zhang family and the Li family. You're just asking for diners who eat in the apothecary. The reason why the third room was chosen is only because they happen to live in the county seat, which is convenient for you to poison. ”

"As long as the Su family goes to the medicinal restaurant to make trouble, and the people learn about the food poisoning in the medicinal restaurant, you can naturally make a name for yourself, launch a bright kitchen, attract customers, and make business better."

Su Jiudong looked at the innocent and poisoned Su family, and couldn't help but feel aggrieved for them.

Although the Su family is not a good person, this incident belongs to malicious competition in the market, and it was originally not about their three rooms, but it was used by someone with a heart to deal with the medicinal food restaurant.
