Chapter 480: Great Punishment Waits
"Give me all peace!" Jiang Xian is really angry, in the past few decades, no one has seen it, and he has never seen such a fierce one.
Don't they all say that the people are afraid of officials? These people are not afraid of him at all, what does it mean, it shows that they have something to rely on behind them.
Jiang Xian glanced at Xia Qingbi meaningfully, smashed the shocking wood on the case, and pointed at the person who was beaten ten boards, "Whoever is not quiet, he will be the end!" ”
"My lord, she is the murderer, you don't beat her but come to beat us victims, what is the reason!"
"Yes, yes, yes! You beat us instead of punishing the murderer, my lord, are you shielding her! ”
"Aren't you afraid that my father's ghost will come to you at night?"
"You're going to be punished for that!"
A group of people were chattering, regardless of what they were shooting in shock, although they were trembling with fear, they still kept accusing Jiang Xian.
It is said that money can make ghosts grind, and this money can also make people desperate and even die.
Seeing this, Jiang Xian said to one of the officials, "Bring up the soldering iron!" ”
The official did so, and Xia Qingbi began to protest again, "Master Jiang, what do you want to do?" ”
"Despise the officials of the imperial court and deserve to be punished!"
"You're going to get a soldering iron to burn them?" Xia Qingbi's voice was raised a lot, "Lord Jiang, you are abusing lynching!" ”
Jiang Xian knew in his heart, knowing that Xia Qingbi would say this, and a trace of sarcasm appeared on the corner of his lips, "Your Royal Highness the Third Prince, the lower official never said that it was used to burn them, it was you who said it, and the lower official just wanted to scare them." ”
Seeing this, the prince shouted indifferently, "Third brother, don't be naughty, now it's Lord Jiang who is trying the case, if you are interested, you can go back and talk to your father, and transfer you to the Criminal Department for a few days." ”
Xia Qingbi snorted, "Big brother, he is abusing lynching, how can he treat the victim like this?" What's the difference between this and a comatose official? ”
"Despise the imperial court officials, according to the law, you should hit thirty boards, just now Lord Jiang only played ten boards, it is already an extrajudicial grace, third brother, have you read the laws of the Great Xia Kingdom well?" The crown prince's expression was cold, "Third brother, if the soldering iron doesn't burn them, it is not an abuse of lynching, my father asked you to spy on Lord Jiang, not for you to interfere with Lord Jiang, if you do this again, I will tell my father truthfully after I go back, you are here to make trouble!" ”
"You!" Xia Qingbi glared, but he had to be honest.
The red-hot soldering iron was carried up to the lobby by the officials, Jiang Xian glanced at it, and glanced at the reporters who had been making trouble for a week, "Can you be quiet now?" ”
If they don't calm down, will the soldering iron burn them?
After hitting the top ten boards, it will be treated well, and there will be no sequelae for a few days at most, but if the soldering iron is burned on the body, even if it is cured in the future, it will leave a scar for a lifetime!
At this moment, the lobby finally quieted down.
Mu Jiu was protected by the officials, and there was no trace of embarrassment, but it was those who made trouble, in order to express their dissatisfaction, they messed up their hair and made themselves very embarrassed.
Jiang Xian then continued to ask, "You all said that Mu Jiu used poisonous materials to make pastries that caused the death of your relatives, then okay, now please cook!" ”
The cook, a white and chubby man, was summoned in, rolled in, and fell to his knees on the ground, "My lord, spare my life!" It's not a small one with toxic materials, it's my boss who asked me to do it, and she said it would save costs! ”
Mu Jiu almost couldn't hold back the scolding, because she was too busy, she hadn't been to Jiu'an Restaurant for a long time, how could she instruct the cook to use poisonous materials?
This cook's deed of sale is in her hands, and she dares to betray her, it seems that this cook has found a way back!
Mu Jiu said unhurriedly, "My lord, he's lying!" ”
"Boss, I told you before, you have to be a conscience, you see, you only care about making money for yourself, regardless of the life or death of customers, now something has happened."
The cook looked bitter, and it really looked like that.
However, it is ridiculous to say that she is poisoned in front of such a drug master!
"You advised me before? That is, I have been using these toxic materials for a long time? ”
The cook didn't understand why Mu Jiu asked like this, but she admitted that she had used poison, "Yes, yes, you have been using it." ”
"I asked you to use a toxic material, so what kind of toxic material did you say I asked you to use?"
"This ...... I...... I don't know what kind of toxic material you use, in short, it's poisonous! "The cook was a little panicked, and he was hesitant.
"That's strange, since you don't know what kind of toxic material I'm using, how do you know that this material is poisonous? Or are you lying? ”
The cook's body shook visibly, "This...... It's not like I've eaten it a few times and then I've been poisoned and I know it's poisonous......"
Mu Jiu felt funny, "How many times have you eaten?" Oh, then you are such a miracle, you have eaten a few times and have not been poisoned, they have been poisoned once they have eaten it, where is the grave of your ancestors? Is there smoke? ”
When Mu Jiu said this, a sneer sounded outside the door, probably thinking that the cook's lies were too bad.
Even Xia Qingbi couldn't stand it anymore, stood up and kicked the chair hard, knocking it over.
Following his small pot, he hurriedly straightened the chair, and Xia Qingbi snorted and sat down.
The cook was obviously more flustered, and made an excuse indiscriminately, "Maybe it's really my ancestral grave that is smoking, I'm lucky!" ”
Mu Jiu said faintly, "It seems that I have to check carefully when I go back, where is your ancestral grave, and I will move my ancestral grave over when I turn around, and bless me with smooth sailing in the future and never be framed." ”
Mu Jiu's words caused laughter from the people watching outside the door, and some people even coaxed in agreement, "That's right! Boss Mu, I also told me when I found out, I promise not to compete with you for the best position, you leave me a general position, so that I can hand over some good luck! ”
"Go, I've been to Boss Mu's store a few times to buy things, and if you want to tell me, you have to tell me first!"
"Tell me! Tell me! ”
A group of people coaxed Xia Qingbi to make him even more angry, Jiang Xian gave him an intriguing look again, and then slapped the shocking wood, "I said that the official is moved, move my family's ancestral grave over, maybe the official position of the official can go further." ”
The prince, who has always been as cold as frost, suddenly coaxed and said, "Don't rob this palace!" ”
Well, everyone is silent, who dares to rob the cemetery with the royal people, isn't this looking for death?
After calming down, Mu Jiu asked the cook again, "You said that I have always used poisonous materials, why was there nothing wrong before, but something has happened in the past few days?" ”
The cook couldn't answer, so he instinctively glanced back.
Mu Jiu understands, Jiang Xian and the crown prince also understand, they are looking for the person who bought him in the first place!
In the crowd, a man quietly stepped back.
Jiang Xian gave one of the officials a look, and the latter immediately chased him out.
In the lobby, the cook couldn't answer, but Mu Jiu didn't let him go, "Say, who bought you, although your deed of sale is in my hands, but I ask myself that I have never treated you badly, your conscience has been eaten by dogs, and you want to poison so many people to frame me, aren't you afraid that so many unjust souls will come to you to ask for your life?" ”
The cook's face was as pale as paper, and his body trembled even more, looking like he would be scared to death at any time.
Jiang Xian patted the shocked wood, "Bold cook, you honestly confess, who gave you the poison to poison you and framed Boss Mu!" ”
Xia Qingbi wanted to say something, but was glared at by the prince's cold gaze, and immediately closed his mouth.
At least, now that he is too hostile to Mu Jiu, he seems to be weak-hearted.
Jiang Xian said sharply, "Don't say it? Someone is coming, and the punishment is waiting! ”
"I say! I say! I don't know who he is, only that he is a big man with a masked face, and he said that if I help him do this, he will give me 1,000 taels of silver, help me make a new household registration, and let me go to other places to marry a wife and have children to enjoy my old age in peace......" The cook knelt softly on the ground in the stove, shaking into chaff.
Mu Jiu secretly scolded himself for being blind, found a vanilla in Qizhou, and found such a cook in the capital who dared to harm people's lives for his own interests!
Jiang Xian was also stunned by the cook's words, and actually sold his conscience and soul for the sake of a thousand taels and a promise that might not necessarily be fulfilled!
"When?"
"The night before yesterday! I couldn't sleep at night to go out for a walk and met him! ”
"Bold cook! You killed a dozen people, come on, drag me down and hit 30 boards! Jiang Xian was so angry that he breathed fire, and he said it again!
The servant dragged the cook down and beat him for thirty boards and then dragged him back, and the cook was paralyzed into a lump and could not say a word.
Jiang Xian glanced at the troublemaker, "Why don't you make trouble?" Didn't you want to die or live just now, and you wanted to kill Boss Mu? Why, now that I know that it wasn't Boss Mu who did it, you have nothing to say! ”
"My lord, how do you know she didn't do it? The cook is hers, and the deed of sale is in her hands, so the cook naturally wants to defend her! ”
"That's it, anyway, I don't believe that a cook can have the ability to poison my father to death!"
"That's it, sir, you won't just find a cook to take the blame for her! Adult, you can't do that! ”
The group of people chattered non-stop again, and this time, Jiang Xian directly took the iron tongs and knocked on the iron furnace that burned the soldering iron.
So, the gang shut up again.
Xia Qingbi thought of something, "Lord Jiang, you are too hasty in handling the case like this!" ”
Jiang Xian asked rhetorically, "May I ask His Royal Highness the Third Prince, where is the lower official hasty?" As you heard just now, the cook himself admitted that he had poisoned him, and that the person who bought him was a big man! It doesn't fit in with Mu Jiu's figure. ”
Xia Qingbi, "You don't allow Mu Jiu's father-in-law to mask and tell the cook!" ”
Jiang Xian couldn't answer, he never knew that Xia Qingbi's reasoning ability was so good!
However, some people are like this, and good brains never need to be on the right path.
