The eldest brother and the others discussed what color of fabric to buy to match the gifts they were holding, and it was simply varied when they listened carefully.

Yuqi shook her head with a smile, and found the gift for her sister-in-law from her eldest sister's arms, a gold bracelet, and a pair of small silver bracelets, this is the first time to buy something for the little nephew, of course, the gift can't be too expensive, nor too light, think about it, or buy a pair of silver.

"Sister-in-law, this is for you, open it and see if you like it"

Jing Na stretched out her hand to take the eldest nephew in her sister-in-law's arms and teased her, Fan Liu took the box with a little excitement, opened it and saw that it was a gold bracelet, the bracelet was very wide, and there were two mandarin ducks hanging on it intimately swimming in the water The pattern is lifelike, which is very good-looking.

"It's good-looking, it's so good-looking, thank you, little sister. Liu Hua had some mist in her eyes and thanked her with a smile.

Yuqi smiled lightly: "We are all a family, what are you doing so politely." ”

Jing Na brought the pile of small bracelets to the little nephew, swinging his little fat hand back and forth, and the little jingle bells under the bracelets on his wrist made a crisp and pleasant sound, and the little guy heard the sound, and he was happy.

Liu Hua took her son and said to her son with a smile: "Thank you, auntie."

The kid looked back at the magnified face in front of him, waved his little hand, and spat bubbles in his mouth: "Dut, doo." ”

Liu Hua sighed: "This child has been around for almost two weeks, and he has walked neatly, but it is still difficult to speak." ”

"Sister-in-law, the little nephew is still young and not in a hurry, and the child talks early and late. "There are many people who can't speak clearly at the age of two, but they are just late in development, and it is not a big problem.

The sister-in-law nodded, holding the child and learning to speak, she said a word and let her son say a word, and the child who said it was annoying, so she left her to find his father Yinghuan.

There are also three boxes, she opened them one by one, and asked the eldest sister and the second sister to choose: "This is all carefully selected by me, you two pick, see which one you like." ”

Si Ning smiled and chose a butterfly made of gold thread and filigree: "I want this." ”

"Then I'll choose this dragonfly. Jing Na looked at the dragonfly and was still very cute, and reached out for it.

"Then I'll want this rose. ”

From the box, he took out the table made of rose gold silk at the end, put it on his hand, and looked left and right, the little white wrist with a small gold flower bracelet was quite beautiful, neither eye-catching nor vulgar, and it was the first choice of their little rich families.

Jing Na glanced at Yu Jie: "Little sister, why don't you have Yu Jie's bracelet?"

Yu Jie grinned and raised her arm: "I brought it a long time ago." ”

Si Ning raised her eyes and saw that it was a peony, which looked quite good, but compared to her own butterfly, it was still her own bracelet that was beautiful.

Among the remaining pieces of cloth, the second sister picked a fiery red one, the younger sister picked a pink one, Yuqi picked an ice blue cloud brocade, and the left back one light green eldest sister picked up, and the left and right were all big horses that could make one more, and Yuqi Hao couldn't be angry and asked the second sister for one.

The second sister pouted a few times, and asked the younger sister for another piece, Yujie saw that she was a little less, and turned her head to ask the eldest sister for one.

Jing Na saw that she was missing one piece, and refused to suffer, so she turned around and asked Yuqi for another one.

The four of them wore two different clothes, and they all smiled happily.

The grandfather looked at his son, daughter-in-law and grandchildren all got the gifts, all of them were very happy, patted the cigarette ash on his body, and got up: "It's not early, let's go back, so that the fourth family can rest." ”

"Dad, I'll help you. Fan Junfeng stepped forward and hurriedly helped him up.

You Jing picked up the fabric under her armpit and helped her mother up, and walked out of the hall behind Junfeng.

The room was full of people before a quarter of an hour had passed, and the courtyard had finally quieted down.

The hall is placed with the tribute given by the emperor, the fabrics are sent one box by one, there are also a few foreign tribute cloths inside, the rest is a variety of jade, agate, gem heads, necklaces, etc., all kinds of jewelry each a small box, there is a small box of gemstones, the whole piece, completely filled the box, Yuqi saw that this is a good thing, and then designed a set of head noodles by himself, just use them to make the finished product, not worse than the raw materials bought outside.

As for the other box, there are some bits and pieces of ornaments, jade ruyi, etc., all of which are very exquisite.

"Big girl, these things are all rewards from the emperor, you put them away, it's best to find a hidden place to put them, don't let anyone look at this thing and steal it. ”

Father Fan sighed, it is difficult to eat when there is no silver, it is still difficult to make it difficult when there is silver and jewelry, and there is a way that is not afraid of thieves stealing and afraid of thieves.

Yuqi laughed, this father's appearance is really funny, but the heart of defense is indispensable, what Dad said is right, it is safest to put it here.

The night wind blew gently, and the bright moon hung high, illuminating the dark and quiet courtyard.

The next day, as soon as the sky was polished, a large number of people gathered at the gate of Fan Junjiang, and all the parents and relatives of the girls in the prison were everywhere.

They have been waiting at the door of Fan Junjiang's house for more than a quarter of an hour, facing the closed door, no one dares to go up and knock on the door, this family is different from the past, the princess's father and mother, that can be regarded as a relative of the emperor.

Father Fan knew that today was the day of the town's ascension, and he didn't dare to sleep too deeply, and the family of five picked up the ropes and prepared to go to see the ascension hall together.

The door opened, and the people at the door looked at him with all their brushes, and his heart was furious when he saw it.

"How long have you been here, why don't you knock?"

"We also just arrived, and it didn't take long for us to think that we would have to leave after staying for a while, so we didn't go in. ”

As soon as Wu Liu's voice fell, the people behind him also spoke.

Xiao Mu led the ox cart out, and when Fan Father saw it, he let all the women get into the ox cart, and the farmer followed behind the ox cart.

As soon as they arrived at the entrance of the village, the village chief led the oxen station and waited for them under the big locust tree, and these bankers and men also got on the two ox carts, and the two ox carts went out of the village one after the other, and hurried away to meet the sun that had just been born.

As soon as the day dawned, the gate of the county government was overcrowded, most of the people were wearing filial piety clothes, and many people came to see the excitement, and the road in front of the yamen was blocked by these people.

At the entrance of the yamen, there were sharp-eyed people who saw that the parents of the poisoned children were coming, and they didn't know who shouted to the crowd: "They are here, let's find them to pay for their lives." ”

When the crying person heard this, he looked back and saw that it was really the family members of the children in the prison: "Pay for my father-in-law's life." ”

A little daughter-in-law couldn't stand the death of her newly married father-in-law, so she rushed over with grief and indignation.

As soon as Yuqi got off the ox cart, she was hugged by Xiao Mu, and the person had already left the place with a staggering under his feet.

When he turned his head and looked at the place where he was standing just now, a group of people were fighting each other, even his father and sister were not spared.

"Xiaomu, you let me go, I'll save them. "I struggled hard, but I couldn't break free from his arms.

"You go inside to find the mayor of the town, let the officials come out to manage the order, and I will save my uncle and aunt. Xiaomu nudged her.

Yuqi looked at him, turned around and ran into the county office.

The people in the county government knew her, and no one dared to stop her, so they let her run in on a rampage.

The mayor and the master were discussing a few things to ask when they were going to ascend to the hall for a while, and they were looking for loopholes in them, and just as the two were talking about this, she broke in.

"Princess?"

The mayor and the master knew that she was back, but they didn't expect the princess to come so early.

"The mayor of the town, follow up and send the officials to manage the order outside the county office, and the two groups of people outside have fought. The princess said anxiously.

When the master saw it, all the people guarding the county government had withdrawn, and the mayor respectfully invited her to the ya, and prepared tea and snacks.

"Princess, you are here for a while, and when the front is promoted, the lower official is sending someone to invite the princess over. ”

"Well, the fathers and sisters of this palace are all outside, this palace can't rest assured, you send some people to bring them in, and let them go out when they are promoted." ”

"Don't worry, princess, the junior official will go. ”

Not long after the mayor went out, he saw Fan Junjiang, and Zhu Yan's little sister had already walked in in a hurry.

She greeted her: "Mother, are you okay?" ”

"It's okay, it's okay, it's just that my hand is scratched. ”

Yuqi turned over her mother's hand, there was a scratch on it, a little bloodshot, turned her head to look at her little sister, except for her messy hair, there was no injury anywhere else.

Dad's robe was torn out, people are fine, this is better than anything else, he looked at Xiao Mu in a blink of an eye, and smiled sweetly, if he hadn't guarded himself first, I'm afraid that the chaotic scene would have hurt a little bit.

In the hall, Yuqi was arranged on the left side of the hall, where a chair was placed, and the father and mother were behind the county office, and the front hall was only separated by a wall, and what the front hall said they could hear in the back.

mighty

There were two servants standing in the hall, and their mouths were deep.

At this time, the mayor and the master walked to the front of the hall from the back office, stood in front of the case and gently bowed to the princess, who nodded slowly, and the two of them walked on the chair in front of the case at the same time.

The mayor of the town slapped the case with a striking sound, and in a few moments the official led five female prisoners of different ages dressed as prisoners slowly from behind.

The sound of clattering chains, rubbing on the ground, Yuqi looked up, and saw a string of female prisoners behind the servants, from childhood to adulthood, one after the other.

Several female prisoners were led to the court, lined up and knelt on the ground, and the servants stepped aside.

"The sins of several of you have been brought upon you truthfully. The mayor struck again, glaring at them.

Fan Tian was the eldest of the five of them, and she pretended to have the courage to raise her head: "Lord Qingtian, the little girl is wronged, we have not committed a crime at all, how can we confess." ”

"My lord, we are all wronged, please find out this matter and give the little girl justice. Qiu'er is not far behind, and continued the eldest sister's words.

The two sisters in front have already shouted grievances, and the three in the back have also shouted grievances one after another, with tears in their eyes, prostrate on the ground.

The family members of the deceased couldn't look past it at this time, and shouted in the halls: "You little girls still don't admit it, the arsenic was collected from your small workshop, and the arsenic was found in the food you made, and you still have a hard mouth, which is really unforgivable." ”

The more he talked, the more excited he became, if it weren't for the officials blocking the door, I'm afraid he would have rushed into the front hall at this time.

The pop rang again.

"Quiet. ”

The mayor's words were still very good, and the people at the door of the hall closed their mouths one by one when they saw that the mayor was angry.

The master took the form, raised his eyes and looked at the children he had accepted, and asked them to tell them about the events of the day of the incident.

Time passed bit by bit, until the five of them took turns to speak, the mayor and the master looked at each other, and then called in the witnesses.

mighty

After a loud noise, the man was brought in.

"The little girl Fan Erniu saw the big man of the blue sky. ”

The master stretched out his neck and looked down, a little girl in a long skirt with small emerald flowers knelt behind these people, and combed out two buns on the top of her head.

"Who is kneeling, where is it, where is it, what age is it, and what is what you want to say, there must not be the slightest lie, otherwise you will be able to stand up for twenty" The master still put the paper of confession on the table.

Fan Erniu knelt on the ground and rolled her eyes a few times, swallowed her saliva nervously, and the hand she was holding on to the ground was full of sweat.

Yuqi shook his right ear, it has only been more than an hour, this shocking wood has been slapped several times, if he sits for a day, this right ear is estimated to be not far from being semi-crippled.

"The little girl Fan Erniu, nicknamed Erya, lives in Wujia Village, is eight years old this year, and today is here to expose the poisoning of their small workshop. ”

Yu Qi sat on the chair and sneered, the first few sentences are true, but the last sentence is full of loopholes, exposing the poisoning?

The mayor then asked, "Did you see them poisoning?" and you were there on the day of the incident?"

Fan Erniu was speechless, thought for a moment what her mother said, raised her head and said, "They went down the night before." ”

"Nonsense, the snacks we make are all on the same day, because the weather is hot now, if we make them in the evening, they will go bad if we don't put them in the next day. Utsui turned her head and said hatefully.

Fan Erniu was also unconvinced: "You were obviously poisoned the night before, I saw it by the window." ”

"You keep saying that we poisoned, since you are on the scene, why don't you report to the government to arrest us. Aoyagi asked, looking back.

"I didn't know it was poison at the time, and if I had known, I wouldn't have poisoned you, and I wouldn't have killed so many innocent people. Fan Erniu was aggrieved with tears in her eyes, and when it came to the dead people, her tears fell a few drops.

The people outside the hall heard another cry, and the anger of the people grew.

"Nonsense, we didn't poison at all, don't spew blood. Uho turned and pointed at her angrily, his eyes blazing with fire.

"Quiet, all quiet. The mayor's surprise slapped the table hard, and the sound spread throughout the lobby.

Yuqi was almost crying without tears, and there was a buzzing sound in her ears now.

"Fan Erniu, let me ask you, where did they spill things. ”

"Saza. ”

"Say"

"Sprinkle it in food. ”

The mayor half-narrowed his eyes and sneered: "Are you telling the truth?"

"Don't dare to deceive the mayor. ”

When Yu Qi heard the prestige, she looked at her nervously and sweated, turned her head and smiled at the mayor: "Mayor, is there a certificate that proves that everything was made on the same day, which can mean that the poison was not caused by them?"

Erniu, thank you so much, if you hadn't bitten your mouth and said that the poison was in the food, she wouldn't have been able to find indirect evidence so quickly to prove that they weren't poisoned.

This also makes sense, after all, the witness's testimony is that she saw the poison in the food with her own eyes, and if the food was made on the same day, then the witness's testimony cannot be counted. The mayor pondered and gave the answer.

"Where's the master?"

"Back to the princess, the lower official and the mayor mean the same. The master stood up, clenched his fists and bent over.

The few people kneeling at the bottom turned their heads, and when they saw that it was Yuqi, they almost exclaimed, but fortunately they all stopped, but the smiles on their faces increased significantly, and they were not sad and bitter.

"Well, the witness is the shopkeeper of the carved wood shop, and he is in the shop every day, so he naturally knows whether this small workshop is making food that day, and the mayor of the town will call him and ask him. She sat down in her chair and said lightly.

Fan Erniu looked up, saw that it was Yuqi, her eyes immediately became angry, she was originally a small peasant girl like herself, she was a princess on the high in one leap, but she was a peasant girl prostrate on the ground, why could she stand on the chair, but she knelt on the ground to look up at her, it was unfair, today she Fan Erniu is here, even if it is a princess on the top, what about it, pull you down and let you stink for ten thousand years.

She pointed angrily: "Mayor Town, she opened this small workshop, she is the one who instigated the poisoning, and the witnesses he provided are not reliable." ”

"You used to be a female worker in my little workshop, and according to you, is your words more suspicious? Could it be that you are dissatisfied with the wages they give you, so you have quietly poisoned them?"

Fan Erniu's eyes widened, surprised, stunned, and panicked, all on her face, and she stood up abruptly and exclaimed: "You are talking nonsense, I didn't poison it, I don't know where I bought this arsenic from." ”

Yuqi saw that she was angry, stood up and walked straight over, and looked directly at each other, speaking quickly and aggressively, without giving her a chance to think: "Who knows where this arsenic was bought? Who gave it to you." ”
