Ru Yi raised the corners of her lips, raised a wicked smile, and said in a sharp voice: "My lord, I have never committed a crime, why should I kneel?"

The county lord was furious, blowing his beard and staring, and said to the yamen servants on both sides: "Come here, the suspect, Ru Yi, has openly despised the hall and the officer. First, he will be punished with ten boards."

Two yamen servants stepped forward to hold Ru Yi's arms.

Is this an abuse of power?

It was the first time Ru Yi saw it, but she was not afraid, raised her eyes, looked at the county master coldly, straightened her body, and asked: "My lord, I don't know what mistake I made, so I let my lord ask you Hit me ten times without asking as punishment?"

At this time, the people standing outside the hall began to point and point at the county master.

The master stood up and came to the county master, whispered a few words in his ear, and then returned to his seat.

After hearing what the master said, the county master waved his hands helplessly and said, "That's all, let her go!"

The yamen servant let go and returned to his original position.

Ru Yi squeezed her arms that had just been hurt by the two yamen servants, thinking to herself that the yamen servant's hands are really strong, and the muscles on both sides are extremely painful from their pinching.

The county lord slapped the gavel and said with a straight face: "The person standing under the hall, do you know what crime you have committed?"

Ru Yi bowed her head and said, "My lord, I don't know what the girl has committed, so please let me know."

The county master stroked his small beard and said casually: "September [-]th, the deceased Qian Abao died of poisoning because he ate the dish of tofu and spinach in Fuzhen Building, and it is said that this tofu was invented by you. ?”

Ru Yi did not argue, but said truthfully: "Yes, my lord."

The county master nodded knowingly, and said again: "The official asked you, you invented this tofu, and you know that tofu and spinach can't be eaten together, why didn't you tell the shopkeeper of Fuzhen Building, and one person died of poisoning?"

The common people outside the hall thought that Ru Yi was a bad woman, and pointed at her one after another.

"It's the most poisonous woman's heart! I think this person wants to make money and is crazy! He did such an outrageous thing!"

"That's right, she's really a femme fatale. She knows people, knows her face, but doesn't know her heart. We should stop buying things made by her in the future, or we will all lose our heads one day."

……

In the courtroom.

The wife of the deceased Qian Abao knelt on the ground, sobbing intermittently. She rolled up her sleeves, wiped the tears from her eyes, raised her head and looked at Ru Yi, and said with discontented eyes: "You are still my husband, you murderer!" , It was you who killed my husband-in-law, how can you let our family of orphans and widows live."

Ruyi glanced at Qian Lishi, ignored her, and turned her eyes to the county master in the court, and said: "My lord, I was wronged, I have no grievances with the deceased, why do you want to harm her, and get into this mess?" Right and wrong lawsuit? Can you give me a reasonable explanation?"

The latter sentence was addressed to the magistrate in a questioning tone.

Qian Li looked at her angrily.

Last night, she received news that Ru Yi had killed her husband, and she was going to avenge him today.

She said with an aggrieved face: "It was you who killed my husband-in-law. I know you won't plead guilty so quickly, but I believe that the lord will give you justice."

The county master immediately stopped and said: "Everyone be quiet."

Wu Xiang added fuel and jealousy: "My lord, she is just trying to quibble. This murder was caused by her alone."
