"The women don't recognize it."

Zhou Jingrong opened her mouth lightly, but her voice was sonorous and powerful.

Song Xian Ling snorted disdainfully and threw down an account book: "The evidence of the crime is here, so you can't deny it!" ”

Zhou Jingrong leaned over and picked up the account book, flipped through it roughly, and found that Xu Datian had privately increased the land rent by two percent since Zhuangzi transferred it to her name.

A month earlier, he had raised the rent again, which angered the tenants and exacerbated the tension between the two sides, which led to the tragedy.

Because Zhou Jingrong didn't remember the rent collection, he never summoned Xu Datian, nor did he receive a penny from him. But in addition to recording the details of rent collection in the account book, there is also Zhou Jingrong's signature at the collection office.

Zhou Jingrong remembered Fu Yunshen's speculation, it should be Xu Datian who increased the rent without authorization and filled his own pockets, and he dared to detain the black pot on her, which is really shameless!

However, the handwriting can be imitated, let alone the handprint, and it is not modern that fingerprints can be checked, what is the use of these evidences.

Zhou Jingrong closed the booklet, glanced at Xu Datian indifferently, and said to Song County: "My lord, the signature on this is forged, and the women have never seen this account book, let alone received a cent of land rent from Xu Datian. ”

Xu Datian hurriedly said: "Second grandma, can you cross the river and tear down the bridge!" Xu is just a small steward, if there is no order from you, how dare you increase the rent at will, this is a violation of the law! ”

Zhou Jingrong ignored Xu Datian at all, and still said to Song County: "If the adults don't believe it, the women can write on the spot to prove themselves." Adults can also send people to Fu Mansion to get the calligraphy and paintings made by the women on weekdays, and compare them with the handwriting here, you can see it at a glance. ”

Xu Datian saw that Zhou Jingrong's sworn appearance did not seem to be fake, and his face changed slightly: "Impossible!" He clearly ...... This is obviously your handwriting! ”

Zhou Jingrong didn't notice the loopholes in his words, and only looked at him with a smile: "Whether it's true or not, you will know it once you check it, what are you doing so excited." ”

The signature on the account book is indeed the same as the original owner's handwriting, but the original owner's handwriting is ugly, but Zhou Jingrong writes a good calligraphy.

Since she can even make paintings that the original owner didn't know anything about before, what is the good point of handwriting?

Just say that her changes before and after are clumsy, others will think she is hypocritical at most, but they will not suspect anything else.

Song County Ling snorted coldly, and did not intend to give Zhou Jingrong a chance to prove his innocence: "What if the handwriting is different, maybe you deliberately wrote it differently to confuse the public!" ”

As soon as Song County's voice fell, Zhou Jingrong arched his hand and shouted: "Your Excellency is wise, and your Excellency also agrees that handwriting can be faked." Therefore, even if the signature on this account book is the same as that of the woman, how can it be proved that it must have been written by the woman? ”

Song Xianling was hit by the stone he lifted, and he was speechless for a while.

Zhou Jingrong hooked her lips with satisfaction: "In this way, this account book is not evidence." ”

She turned to Xu Datian again and confronted him: "You keep saying that the rent increase was instructed by me, so when and where did I order you about this, and how did I say it, you can tell me and listen." ”

Xu Datian was stunned for a moment, thinking that Zhou Jingrong had just defined the signature on the account book as meaningless evidence in just a few words, and was afraid that she would be caught by saying too much and making mistakes, so he didn't dare to answer positively, and said in an ominous voice: "This is ...... It's been too long for me to remember. ”

Zhou Jingrong sneered: "Oh, I can't remember. It's okay, remember it clearly in the account book, and I'll help you recall the memories. ”

Zhou Jingrong opened the account book and said slowly: "According to the records above, the rent was increased after the first month. ”

She said, asking the tenants on the side, "Really? ”

The tenants were at a loss, not because they couldn't understand Zhou Jingrong's words, but because they didn't understand the current situation.

Their level of education is not high, and their minds are simple, believing that if they kill someone, they will pay for their lives, and whoever kills will have to pay for it.

The person who overthrew Wang Sheng and caused his death was among the servants around Xu Datian, and the human and material evidence were all there, why didn't the county magistrate announce the verdict, and what were these people arguing about?

But they are all ordinary people, they have an instinctive awe of the government, although they are puzzled and dissatisfied, they can only endure and wait, and dare not resist.

In response to Zhou Jingrong's question, they also answered seriously: "Yes, yes." ”

Zhou Jingrong nodded: "In other words, the rent was added from the time I married into the Fu family." But in the first month I married into the Fu family, I didn't even leave the door, and everyone can testify for me, so how can I instruct you to increase the rent? ”

During that time, Zhou Jingrong had just come to this world, and she was terrified and had no understanding of the outside world, so how could she dare to go out. I just nestled in the small courtyard all day long, reading books, painting, and looking at the sky.

Xu Datian broke out in a cold sweat nervously, his eyes rolled a few times, and an ugly smile appeared on his tense face: "How can this kind of thing need to be said by the second grandmother in person, it is the words of the maid next to you." ”

Zhou Jingrong said casually: "Which one?" Pink or willow green? ”

Xu Datian was stunned, this was not the same as the information he got, he didn't seem to have heard these two names, did he remember it wrong, or did Zhou Jingrong deliberately test it?

He paused, gritted his teeth, and said, "It's a string song." ”

Zhou Jingrong covered her chest in surprise and took a step back: "What did you say?" Xian Ge was killed by me as a street stick before I got married, how could you have seen her after this? Could it be her ghost? ”

Zhou Jingrong's frightened appearance was too real, and Xu Datian also felt a shock in his heart.

He knew that Zhou Jingrong had killed a slave and maid as a street stick, but who could remember what the slave and maid were called. How did he pull out the name of a dead man, it's really unlucky!

Xu Datian panicked: "I, I remembered wrong, it's not a string song, it's Yayi!" ”

Zhou Jingrong looked dazed: "Yayi, who is that?" All I have around me is pink and willow green! ”

Xu Datian was already surrounded by Zhou Jingrong, his brain was in a mess, the more he said, the more wrong he became, and the two names he originally remembered in his mind were also blurred: "Yes, it's peach!" I remember, it's pink! ”

Zhou Jingrong shouted at the crowd crowded at the door to watch the excitement: "Pink." ”

Fu Yunshen understood and pushed Fu Raohua forward.

Xu Datian looked at Fu Raohua and shouted excitedly and fearfully: "Yes, it's her!" It's this pink, it's her words for you! ”

Zhou Jingrong snorted coldly: "She is not a pink, she is the second girl of the Fu family, and she is also something you can climb at will?" Xu Datian, you can't even recognize people, and you dare to say that I instructed the rent increase? ”

Xu Datian's mentality had collapsed, he only knew that he couldn't confront Zhou Jingrong anymore, so he immediately knelt on the ground and crawled forward a few steps: "My lord, it's not me, it's she who instructed me to do it, it's this poisonous woman who wants to harm me, ask your lord to learn from it!" ”

Xu Datian's collapse spread to the tenants, and they also cried out one after another: "My lord, Wang Sheng died unjustly, and he has to pay for his life for murder, ask Lord Qingtian to be the master, and behead the murderer to show the public!" ”

There was chaos in the hall.

Fu Yunshen looked at Xu Datian, who was crying with snot and tears, and his eyes were glowing with cold light.

Zhou Jingrong didn't pay attention, but he heard the "he" that Xu Datian said in a hurry.

The land under Zhou Jingrong's name is not well harvested because it is backed by a barren mountain, so the rent is very low. Even if Xu Datian charges two or even three times the rent, it is impossible for him to accumulate so much wealth in just half a year.

So, there are other people behind him.

Seeing that the situation was about to be reversed by Zhou Jingrong's few words, Song Xianling slapped the shocked wood and scolded loudly: "Enough! Don't do a war of words again, this official has to look at the evidence to determine the case! Since neither of you can produce convincing evidence, the case will be retried. Before the facts of the case are clarified, all the people involved in the case will be taken into custody pending trial! ”

Song County's order was finalized, and no one was allowed to argue, so he hurriedly retreated.

The official stepped forward and scolded everyone, pushing and shoving. treated Zhou Jingrong politely, did not touch her, and only let her follow by herself.

Zhou Jingrong looked calm, as if he was not surprised by this result, and calmly followed the official to the prison.

Master Zhou watched Zhou Jingrong being taken away, and his face turned blue with anger.

His Zhou family is so big, how can he look at such a small profit? Did he frame his daughter for such ridiculous reasons and treat him as a dead man?

can be angry, the most important thing now is Zhou Jingrong. He turned around and went to the jailer, at least not to let his daughter be wronged while she was in custody.

After retreating, everyone in the Fu family returned home, and everyone's faces were shrouded in a layer of haze, and even Fu Jiao lost her meanness to Zhou Jingrong in the past.

No matter how Fu Jiao looks at Zhou Jingrong, she is a member of the Fu family, one is prosperous and one is lost. In this kind of crisis, she can still carry it.

"Spring Lady ......"

Fu Chunhua was hugging Sister Zhu, thinking about Zhou Jingrong with worry, and suddenly heard someone calling her, she subconsciously turned her head, but saw that it was Song Ziyan.

Fu Raohua immediately rushed over, exploded the hair all over her body like an old hen guarding her cubs, blocked in front of Fu Chunhua, and looked at Song Ziyan with a vigilant expression.

Song Ziyan didn't seem to feel Fu Raohua's hostility, and was full of excitement and crossed her to find Fu Chunhua's figure.

"Chunniang, are you okay?"

Song Ziyan's voice turned a thousand times, full of infinite affection.

Fu Raohua couldn't see Song Ziyan's cozy appearance the most, she used to think how good this person was to her sister, and how much she hated him now.

She immediately said angrily: "What is good? My second sister-in-law was indiscriminately imprisoned by your father, and it will be no good to meet you Song family! ”

Fu Raohua glared at him angrily, turned around and escorted Fu Chunhua forward, looking back guardedly as he walked, for fear that he would catch up and entangle Fu Chunhua.

Song Ziyan didn't catch up, and a bitter smile overflowed on his lips.

His Chunniang never looked at him from beginning to end.

Fu Yunshen helped Mrs. Fu get into the carriage, and Mrs. Fu asked in a deep voice, "I heard that the kid from the Ye family is in Puhe?" ”

Fu Yunshen replied, "Yes, grandmother." ”

Old Mrs. Fu patted Fu Yunshen's hand and said earnestly: "You have a friendship with him, go to him to help rescue Rong Niang, he will not sit idly by, you don't want to lose face." Rong Niang offended the Song family for the sake of our Fu family, and suffered from this difficulty. She's a good boy, and you can't let her down. ”

Fu Yun swore and replied: "Grandmother, don't worry, I will take care of Rong Niang." ”

Absolutely, she won't be hurt in any way.
