Chapter 168 Layer by layer
Seeing that Zhang Erniang's head was covered with beads of sweat in a hurry, Luo Xingna became even more calm, he nodded unhurriedly, and replied softly.
"Well, Mu Yan's maid knows that your life is hard, and you don't have to say some frustrating words, as long as it is in Yannan Prefecture, as long as it is above this court, if anyone is treated unfairly, this official and Lord Du will stand up for you. ”
After saying that, Luo Xing frowned slightly, and after thinking for a short time in his heart, he clenched his fist with his right hand, and after gently tapping the table, he said.
"Zhang Erniang, the official asked you, when did you find out that this jade wrench was missing from your pawnshop. ”
Oh, good guy! After waiting for a long time, it is finally the turn of the adults to ask, and this old mouth of oneself can finally open his mouth to answer!
Zhang Erniang didn't dare to slack off, hurriedly kowtowed to Luo Xing, and then hurriedly replied.
"My lord! Don't listen to those three aunts and six women! When did my Zhang Erniang bully her Mu Yan! Those seven aunts and six aunts! Just like to chew the root of the tongue! My lord, you must not listen to slander! My lord, please make the decision for the grass people!!"
To say that this Luo Xing usually faces a character with good taste, there is really a saying about this back and forth, and he also deals with characters with noses and eyes when dealing with official business, even if he encounters a difficult person, he is just a scholar and a scholar, although the words are long, but he also has his own calculations.
But I really ran into a small person like Zhang Erniang, and I was really a little out of line, I always felt that I and Zhang Erniang were always communicating with each other, and I was really a headache, and when this case was tried, it was just one word, tired!
Fortunately, this time there is also Master Dewey Du on the side to observe, to say that he Dewey and Luo Xing are also officials, but after all, the job position is different, Luo Xing is in contact with civil servants and civil servants, and Dewey has been fighting with the sky and the earth and the people since he stepped on this job, and it is more than enough to deal with a small role like Zhang Erniang.
I saw Dewey say to him impatiently.
"Eh, Zhang Erniang, what are you talking about by yourself! Just answer the question that Lord Luo asked you! Don't answer what you asked! Don't answer something that has nothing to do with the case! If you answer again and again like this, you will be convicted and punished by the order that you deliberately disturbed the discipline of the court!"
Well, it's really not to say, it's not to say it, after all, this local official is not as 'close to the people' as a foreign official!
"Yes, yes, yes! Back to Lord Luo's words! It was after the Mu Yan girl wandered around in front of the grass people's pawn shop that she found that the jade wrench in this cupboard was missing!
"Well, in other words, you haven't looked at the jade wrench in the cupboard before that!"
With Luo Xing's question, Zhang Erniang didn't blurt out an answer, but after thinking carefully for a while, she replied seriously.
"Back to Lord Luo's words, it is true that as Lord Luo said, the grass people have not checked it before, but since the sneaky appearance of the Mu Yan girl, the grass people suddenly had a bad premonition, it is said that her Mu Yan girl is not a rich master, how can she come to the grass people's pawn shop to hang around!
Luo Xing listened to Zhang Erniang's words, and immediately understood one thing, thinking that Zhang Erniang didn't mean to frame Mu Yan's girl, at best, she was just looking at people with colored glasses, if it wasn't Mu Yan who appeared in her pawn shop that day, but Dewey, then maybe Zhang Erniang wouldn't have checked her inventory.
Luo Xing nodded and continued to ask.
"That Zhang Erniang, the official will ask you again, where is the cabinet where this white jade wrench is placed in your pawnshop. ”
"Well...... If you go back to the adult, it is in the warehouse inside the pawn shop. ”
"So it's in the depths of the house, and it's hard to get into the storage room. ”
"Yes. ”
Luo Xinghuo smiled lightly, and then asked Mu Yan again.
"Mu Yan, have you ever practiced internal skills, such as light skills?"
was asked by Luo Xing, Mu Yan was also a little confused when asked, what does this Lord Luo mean, how to judge the case well, how to say something incomprehensible!
Mu Yan blinked his two big watery eyes, and after looking at Luo Xing blankly for a moment, he shook his head and replied.
"Adults, don't make fun of the little girl, adults, look at the appearance of the little girl, can you look like a martial arts practitioner!"
After listening to Mu Yan's answer, Luo Xing nodded with satisfaction, and then turned to ask about Zhang Erniang.
"Then Zhang Erniang, tell me, do you think this Mu Yan girl doesn't look like a martial arts practitioner?"
This is quite interesting, what kind of trial is this called, what does this practice of martial arts have to do with us? Look at that Mu Yan girl's thin arms and legs, if you say that she is a dancer, then you can still talk about it, but if you say that she is a martial arts practitioner, then wouldn't it force people to fly to the sky!
I saw this Erniang turn sideways, and looked up and down at Mu Yan's girl who was kneeling beside her, which was the inner and outer three layers!
After finishing, he shook his head again and said to Luo Xing.
"Back to the adult, that little girl seems to be weak, these two arms are not enough to mention those two or three chickens, ducks and geese!
After listening to Zhang Erniang's answer, Luo Xing finally smiled with satisfaction, and after looking at Luo Xing's smiling eyes, Dewey understood what Luo Xing meant, and then secretly laughed in his heart for a while.
After Luo Xing cleared his throat, he continued to ask.
"Then Zhang Erniang, you also agree that Mu Yan's girl doesn't know martial arts?"
“...... Yes, yes, sir. ”
As soon as Zhang Erniang's words fell, Luo Xing immediately picked up the startling wood on the table, knocked it lightly, and said.
"Zhang Erniang, this official asks you, since this cupboard is hidden in the depths of your pawnshop, it is difficult for outsiders to know its location, and this Mu Yan girl is not a person who practices martial arts! You should explain to this official how this Mu Yan girl quietly took away your jade wrench finger without knowing it! Or can you show what evidence she used to prove that it was her Mu Yan who took it!"
It's amazing, this time Zhang Erniang said dumbfounded, in the face of such a sharp question, Zhang Erniang was stunned for a while, she didn't know what to say, but she was stunned, opened her mouth wide, and looked at Luo Xing blankly.
Luo Xing saw that Zhang Erniang did not react, so he snorted coldly and said.
"You all have jade wrenches!
