Chapter 170: Witnesses

The old man said this to comfort his wife and himself.

Meng came back to her senses and also held her husband's hand hard, and her husband's hand seemed to be the strength that could support her.

"It's okay, don't be afraid of Hua Rou, you go first, and your second brother will pick you up in a while."

In fact, they were all more nervous than Shen Huarou, but Shen Huarou knew that she was not afraid.

Even if the second brother doesn't pick it up, her eldest brother and third brother will also go.

With her brothers as her backing, she is really not afraid.

In front of the servants, she couldn't say anything to inform the eldest brother of them, so she could only look at Yangchun, hoping that she could have a good relationship with her.

Just opposite Yangchun's eyes, Shen Hua thought about it and then specially told her.

"You take care of Yaya at home."

Yang Chun was stunned for a moment, and immediately nodded.

"Madame, don't worry, the slave maid will definitely take care of Miss, but it's late that Miss can't see Madame crying."

"Don't urge, just go, let's go.

The child is still too young to leave the mother, and the mother can't leave the child, so I told a few more words, and we will go with the two of us. ”

Huang saw that one of the officials was impatient, and immediately spoke to appease.

The He family did not delay any longer, and immediately took their own actions after they went out.

He Shuhui also muttered, "We have a few children at home, why doesn't the third sister-in-law let Yangchun follow?"

In this case, she must need people more there. ”

Such a simple truth can even be thought of by her, is Shen Huarou really simply worried about the children?

Chen obviously thought more clearly than He Shuhui, "Hua Rou left Yangchun to report to the Shen family, you and Shuming took care of it at home, and Yangchun and I went to find someone separately." ”

The second elder hurriedly urged them to go out, and did not forget to advise, "You should be careful on the road, don't go wrong again." ”

The more panicked you are, the more likely you are to go wrong.

When Shen Huarou arrived at the yamen with the paper contract, there were already people waiting for her in the court, all of them with fresh faces.

She hadn't seen anyone from the Ma family since the beginning, and now looking at the four strangers in the hall, she could only guess.

The only old woman among them should be Ma Chao's mother.

As soon as she entered, she looked at her like countless invisible knives, and she gritted her teeth and wanted to eat her flesh and blood.

It seems that they really hate her and hate her for taking their land.

An old man with gray hair with no eyes in his eyes, only glanced at her when Shen Huarou came in and then withdrew his gaze, it should be the old boy who gave them some papers, and the other county order came to testify.

I have no grudge against him, and his reaction is ordinary.

The remaining two are middle-aged men, all dressed as ordinary people.

One of the people who looked at her with a resentful look on his face must be Ma Chao.

Another middle-aged man who looked at her with a curious look was probably a witness or something, right?

All the formalities for her to buy the land were complete, and no matter how many of them were in front of sufficient evidence, it would be the same result.

After Shen Huarou knelt down and bowed to the adults in the hall, the county order began to interrogate.

"He Shen's family, Ma Chao's family in Hezhong Village sued you for forcibly occupying his family's fertile land, what do you say about this?"

Shen Huarou and the people of the Ma family each knelt on one side, and even when she knelt, she still straightened her back.

"Back to my lord, the woman has the voucher documents for buying land at that time, and I invite you to take a look."

In the face of sufficient evidence, all words of justification are in vain.

Just when Shen Huarou presented the evidence and handed it over to the county order for inspection by the master, Shen Huarou felt that the eyes around her looked at her more sharply.

Huang, who was watching the interrogation in the hall, clenched his hands into fists, and on the way here, she found that one of the officials treated them extremely badly, treating them like heinous prisoners.

It was the one who had shown impatience at home before, and his eyes were full of hostility when he looked at them.

It's not that Huang doesn't understand the rules, she is ready with them, but in this case, she is afraid of self-defeating.

After entering the county office, the official turned around and went to do something else, so she dared to go over and talk to another official.

Just hooked up and explained the convenience with kind words.

"If you have all the evidence in this case, it's actually very simple, and you don't have to worry too much.

The man just now was straight-hearted, and he didn't smile on weekdays, and he was the same for us. ”

This person is an old man in the yamen, and in fact, he doesn't have a good relationship with the person just now, and if it weren't for the arrangement from above, he wouldn't want to do things with him.

That person has some connections, and he acts arrogantly on weekdays, let alone outsiders, and even he doesn't give them a good face to the people who do things in one place every day.

If it weren't for everyone, he wouldn't have more of this mouth to help him explain.

He knew in his heart who this He Shen family was, and he didn't believe that the Shen family would do the evil act of forcibly occupying those few acres of land, so it was absolutely right for him to sell it to the He family now.

With his words, the things prepared were also given, and the heart that Huang had been carrying all the way was finally able to fall temporarily.

On the way, because she took care of them, she and Shen Huarou didn't say a word.

Now seeing Shen Huarou in the hall presenting the documents to the county magistrate, she looked at the county magistrate with another pair of eyes, not daring to divert the slightest attention.

The county order was read page by page, and then handed it back to the master, who copied the record, and then handed it back to Shen Huarou.

"The officials of the He Shen clan have read the documents and confirmed that they are correct."

As soon as the county order said this, Ma Chao and the old woman, who were kneeling down, couldn't help but get excited.

"My lord, it's not like that, we have a witness."

While talking, Ma Chao pushed the old man and another middle-aged man next to him forward with both hands.

Both of them were kneeling, and when he pushed them so hard, they immediately knelt unsteadily and threw themselves forward.

"Bang."

The sound of the startled wood made Ma Chao's body tremble, and he didn't dare to make any more noise.

The old woman only said half a sentence and stopped abruptly, "It's definitely a deception surnamed Shen......"

Don't interrupt before the county order finished speaking, and didn't hide it from Ma Chao's mother and son, and gave them a warning look before continuing.

"The plaintiff Ma Chao had witnesses testifying, pointing out that it was you who coaxed his uncle Ma Gui to sign the land sale document.

Moreover, the time does not coincide with the time on your deed.

Ma Gui couldn't read, he didn't even know his own name, and he didn't know what date it was. ”

Then, the prefectural order called the witnesses by name.

Zhang Laosan had never seen such a scene, he was already so frightened that his legs were weak, and if he didn't kneel, he wouldn't be able to stand.

was named by the county order to ask him to speak, but he couldn't say a complete sentence clearly, and he stammered for a long time before he could say it clearly.

"I, I, grass...... The people testified that it was indeed the deed signed by Ma Gui, who was deceived by the housekeeper of the Shen family. ”
