The pastry shop where the accident occurred was closed that day. Everything inside, as well as the shopkeeper in the shop, were also taken away on the spot.

After Hu Jiaren went to visit the prison, he learned from them all the process of the matter. The person who had an accident eating the pastry was a middle-aged woman surnamed Fang, who tried a piece of pastry in the store, and soon began to vomit and then fell into a fainting.

He died soon after being taken to the hospital, and the doctor at the hospital said that he had been poisoned.

In this case, she didn't dare to expect Zheng Shoubei to find out the cause and effect of the matter. She instructed someone to investigate the woman's condition, but she made a feud with someone, so she borrowed the Hu family's pastry shop and deliberately killed someone.

Of course, it is not excluded that Zheng Shoubei deliberately poisoned the Hu family in order to rectify it.

As a result, Hu Jiaren was pondering the possibility of things, and the next person went back and forth, and someone was carrying the coffin at the gate.

Hu Jia's heart sank, because just now she was still thinking that Zheng Shou had been in this city for many years, although he was not a good official, but he was not the kind of person who was mad. will not be angry for the only son, and kill people.

Is it possible that the woman cheated to death, and as a result, the family of the deceased came to make trouble. 、

My sister didn't do anything, my mother was still begging for gifts outside, and Hu Jiaren could only come forward by herself.

If this kind of thing is not easy to soothe well, even if there is nothing to do in the future, the reputation of the Hu family in this place will be completely over. No matter what the facts are, people ate the cakes of the Hu family, and if they don't deal with it properly, who is willing to associate with the Hu family.

In this day and age, fame can determine the fate of a person's life.

Hu Jiaren sighed, looked at her plain makeup and clothes, and hurried to the gate with the maid orange. As soon as he appeared, there was a commotion, mixed with shouting and scolding.

"It's out, someone's out!"

"Why is it a girl's house?"

"The Hu family gave birth to girls, no wonder there is no son, it is his family who has harmed people!"

pinched herself fiercely, Hu Jiaren in front of everyone, let people see the tears rolling out of her body, and then covered her face with a handkerchief and choked up: "The little girl is the daughter of the Hu family, and now her father is in prison, and her mother is running around to clear her father's grievances." ”

"There are only little girls and sisters in the family, my sister is young and timid, and I ask the villagers not to be too noisy, my sister has been scared to cry in her dreams last time."

said a blessing, and said softly: "If there is anything, come with the little girl one by one, and then find a way to solve it." ”

A young man dressed in linen clothes with a strip of white cloth tied to his head, after being stunned, began to cry again, holding the edge of the coffin and patting it again and again: "Mother, mother, why did you go like this, my son is not filial, and he has not been able to be filial to your old man!" ”

"Mother, your death is so miserable, my son must seek justice for you today!"

In view of the fact that the other party is a young man, Hu Jiaren is not easy to walk over, crying miserably at him. could only shout to him from the other person: "This little brother, but is Aunt Fang's son?" ”

"Exactly!" Brother Fang was beaten, so he stopped his actions, and instead stared at her with a resentful face, and said: "Your pastries are poisonous and killed my mother, I won't give up on this matter, today the Hu family must give my mother justice!" ”

Justice, she still wants justice.

Hu Jiaren lowered her eyes, sighed helplessly in her heart, looked timid and scared on her face, and then nodded heavily, and said with a look of hatred: "The little girl knows Little Brother Fang's pain, of course she has to ask for this justice." However, I am sure that the garrison will give justice to both of our families. ”

"I won't let the murderer who killed Aunt Fang go unpunished, and let my father be unjustly imprisoned!"

Brother Fang was first flashed by the beautiful little girl, and then stunned by the crisp and beautiful voice, this reaction didn't catch up at once, and when he came back to his senses, he said angrily: "The murderer is your Hu family, killing people to pay off debts and pay money, you accompany my mother's life!" ”

"All the villagers, fathers and elders, and listen to the little girl."

Seeing that everyone's voices were loud, and every sentence said that the Hu family had killed someone, Hu Jiaren hurriedly raised his voice and said: "My Hu family, although I am not a person of great fortune and nobility, but I also have a small family property, and I am grateful for the love of the villagers." ”

"The shop at home is for a living, how can it be used to kill people. And my family, I don't know Aunt Fang, so naturally I won't have a grudge against her, so it's even more unlikely that I will make a murderous move. ”

Seeing that everyone was curious, what kind of words could she say, a young girl, listened quietly, Hu Jiaren was really relieved.

If everyone ignores the scolding, she really can't help it. And these people, it seems, that she is small and a girl, have put back the shoes that they had taken off in their hands.

It's great not to have to lose your shoes.

Originally, the side of the dead person was sympathized with by everyone, and even thought about the other party without thinking, but Hu Jiaren's appearance and posture were weak, and the onlookers would not be so resentful unconsciously.

"Folks, is this the truth for you?"

After saying this, Hu Jiaren stood in place and looked around at the thoughtful crowd. Out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of Brother Fang's companion pushing him, as if urging him to speak.

So she took the first step to speak: "Although the little girl is not talented, she also loves to hold books and imitate the studious heart of literati. In the book, the little girl saw that whenever there was a murder, before the case was closed, the victim's body was in the dark room of the yamen. ”

"Dare to ask Brother Fang, is this an empty coffin?"

Brother Fang frowned, and said very impulsively: "What if it's an empty coffin, this is the coffin I prepared for my mother, and her clothes are placed in it." If my mother has a spirit in heaven, she can also see me, a son, and is willing to seek justice for her! ”

"No, the little girl just asks more." Hu Jiaren's handkerchief pressed her face, not letting everyone see her expression clearly.

Just admit it.

The psychology of people is very strange, and when things change slightly, they will want to go somewhere else. If she didn't open this mouth, no one would know that it was an empty coffin on the spot, and she wouldn't feel anything if she knew it later.

But when you say it in public, the feelings of the people will not be so deep. After that, if Brother Fang still refuses to give up, it will inevitably make you feel that you are making trouble.

Especially when she is organized and shows everyone the matter, everyone present will also feel that the Hu family is not the murderer.

Hu Jiaren didn't want to see that before the case was tried, the Hu family had already been rumored to be murderers. Now that the matter has spread, if the reputation is not good, the shop still has goods, and it is not easy to sell out.

If this is the case, although the Hu family has not fallen, it will also be depressed by various prices.
