The lobby was quickly cleared, leaving only a few tables for the officials to sit in.

Those gentry with high status can still be assigned to a stool, and juniors like Mingsheng can only stand......

Fortunately, Mingwei and the three of them were in the private seat, so they didn't have to let them out.

Otherwise, if you are discovered, you will definitely not be able to escape a beating......

When Jiang Wenfeng, the prefect and others all came in, the girl also came in with two maids.

"Shopkeeper, my son-in-law wants to come in for a cup of tea, please make a private seat and come out." She spoke softly.

Ming Xiang's eyes widened, grabbed Ming Wei's wrist, lowered his voice and said excitedly and eagerly: "Seventh sister! Do you hear that? Yang Gongzi is coming over! Ah, I didn't come in vain! ”

Ming Wei glanced at her and said lightly: "You might as well worry, what if someone takes a fancy to our position." ”

Ming Xiang quickly glanced at the lobby across the bamboo curtain and shuddered.

Thankfully, it didn't happen.

The girl took a fancy to the elegant seat opposite.

The shopkeeper went over to discuss, and the customer over there happily gave way.

Ah Wan clapped his hands, and a group of waiters rushed in, lifting or holding in their hands.

The bamboo curtain on the opposite side was raised, and the waiters wiped the table, cleaned it, spread silk cloth, and replaced it with a brocade stool. Then, he took the cup and spoon out and washed it - even the stove and kettle were brought by himself.

Everyone was amazed, what is exquisite, and now they have seen it.

Finally, Ah Wan lit the incense himself.

"It is worthy of being the son of the Hou Mansion, this style is really eye-opening." The scholar at the table talked in a low voice.

Another person sneered: "Poor! ”

As he spoke, the door of the carriage opened.

The first to get out of the car were two beautiful maids, who were waiting respectfully.

"Ahh Ming Xiang let out a low cry and grabbed Ming Wei's wrist suddenly.

Mingwei was distracted: "...... What's your name yet? ”

"Excited." Ming Xiang's eyes lit up with excitement.

At this time, when Mingwei turned his head to look, Yang Gongzi had already gotten out of the car.

She can't recognize people, but she can tell the difference between beauty and ugliness. This Yang Gongzi is dressed in a golden crown and is tall, and he is already very romantic. When he turned, she heard a distinct gasp.

"Good...... Pretty. Ming Xiang muttered to himself.

It is indeed good-looking, both the eyebrows and the silhouette are exquisite and perfect. And there was a little cinnabar mole in the center of the eyebrows, which embellished this excessively handsome face more and more inhospitable to the world. What's even more wonderful is that such a look is not feminine at all.

In short, it's a good-looking man.

Mingwei bowed his head and drank tea.

"Seventh sister, seventh sister, have you seen it?" Mingxiang was already overexcited and desperately needed to share it with others.

"See."

"There are such good-looking people in this world! I now believe that why Pei Guifei can spoil the harem, Yang Gongzi looks like an aunt, Pei Guifei must be as beautiful as a fairy! ”

Mingwei's focus is not on this.

She found that this Yang Gongzi looked fair-skinned and weak, but his footwork was actually very steady. Looking at his size and posture, it is basically certain that he practices martial arts.

It seems that the Marquis of Boling's Mansion is not completely spoiled by him. Princess Mingcheng and Marquis Boling are both fierce generals, which can be regarded as a family heirloom.

With the umbrella of the escort, the waiter spreads out a felt blanket.

From the carriage to the tea house, for a short time, his shoes did not even touch the slightest dust.

A low mockery came from the table: "With such a little road and an umbrella, does he think he is a woman?" No wonder his face was so white that he looked like he had powdered it. ”

This time his companion did not stop him, probably thinking that he was right.

Although the nobles have enjoyed the glory of generations, when it comes to power, it is still in the hands of the courtiers. These scholars, although they have no power at the moment, have the qualifications to enter this system. They are indeed not very afraid of offending nobles.

Of course, there is still a superficial respect.

Therefore, when Yang Gongzi came in, the officials present all stood up and saluted.

This Yang Gongzi didn't say anything, only nodded and returned the salute, and entered the elegant seat.

The bamboo curtain was lowered, blocking the view.

Many people breathed a sigh of relief, and their minds returned to Jiang Qingtian's trial.

Jiang Wenfeng sat down in the middle and ordered: "Bring people up." ”

"Yes."

Granny Mi and her granddaughter were brought up, and just about to kneel, Jiang Wenfeng raised his hand to stop: "You are old and young, you don't have to kneel, stand and reply." ”

"Master Xie Qingtian!" Granny Mi is grateful.

Jiang Wenfeng didn't ask them immediately, but turned his head to look at the officials in Dongning: "Who is trying this case?" Or who has seen the dossier? ”

An official dressed in the costume of the county magistrate stood up: "This case is tried by a lower official." ”

Jiang Wenfeng said: "You will tell the case one by one, how to investigate, how to try, don't omit it." ”

"Yes." The magistrate wiped the sweat from his forehead and began to state the case.

The poisoning case was simple. The He family is a resident of Sanshu Village, with three generations of six people. The family is harmonious on weekdays, and there is no grudge with anyone.

That morning, his daughter-in-law Pu was late for pigweed, and the piglets in the pen screamed with hunger.

Father-in-law He Da saw it and said a few words to her.

Farmers generally eat two meals, and if they have heavy work to do, they will add one meal to the laborers.

In the afternoon, my father-in-law came back from work to rest, and Pu Shi had already cooked the noodle soup.

My father-in-law ate the noodle soup and died of poison not long after.

The county order defended: "The lower official received a report and ordered an autopsy to determine that it was poisoning." He also ascertained those who were present at the time. Pu's mother-in-law went to Lincun and did not return until the crime. The son of the deceased was still working in the fields, and the two children were in the house, the older looking at the younger. There are no outsiders in the He family, only the Pu family. Xiaguan definitely didn't care about human life! ”

"What did Pu Shi say? What do the neighbors say? ”

Pu naturally denied it, saying that he was not poisoned. Neighbors said that she usually got along with her family and rarely quarreled. But the neighbors did not see the scene that day. ”

Jiang Wenfeng then asked: "So, where does the poison come from?" Have you checked the pharmacy? ”

The sweat on the forehead of the county order is even more: "Xiaguan...... The lower officials checked, and no one saw Pu Shi buy medicine. But there are many poisonous substances in the countryside, and it is not surprising that Pu knows some. ”

"Have you checked the noodle soup cooked by Pu's?"

"I checked it too. The noodles are made homemade, and there is no problem with the water, and the seasonings and cooking utensils are all clean. ”

"Did anything else happen before He Da went home?"

"Nope." The county magistrate was glad that he had checked it carefully, and he could answer all these questions, "He went out to work in the morning, and he walked with his son, and the things at the entrance were the same." I haven't been bitten by anything else, and I have no external injuries on my body. ”

"Pu's cooking noodle soup, what about the process of getting to the entrance of Heda? Is there an omission? ”

Pu said that she had been at home and had not been in or out of the house. The county magistrate paused for a moment and added, "After repeated interrogation by the lower officials, she said that after cooking the noodle soup, she once put it on the windowsill to cool, and she went back to the house to get a pair of insoles." But He Da came back immediately, and this time was simply not enough for outsiders to climb over the wall. ”

Jiang Wenfeng nodded, turned his head and asked Granny Mi and the girl, "What do you have to say?" ”

Granny Mi didn't know how to investigate the case at all, so she only cried: "My daughter won't do this kind of thing, please be an adult!" ”
