After dressing as a villain's ex-wife, she went crazy for whitewashing

"My lord, women don't know anything." The woman kowtowed tremblingly to the county magistrate on the high seat.

The county magistrate ignored him, and looked directly at the pastry chef who was arrested by Xu Guancha: "Wang Cui, please repeat the previous confession."

The dim sum chef named Wang Cui nodded, glanced at the woman, and was stared back at by the other party. She trembled and was afraid to say: "It's the shopkeeper who asked the women to go to Qipin Xiangzhai, which is outside Niangzi Lu's shop. , Stealing the teacher."

Halfway through the conversation, the female shopkeeper suddenly stretched out her hand and rushed over: "You are talking nonsense, when did I ask you to do this!"

Wang Cui was thrown by her like this, and before she could hide in time, two bloody mouths were scratched on her face, looking scary.

She grinned in pain, but luckily the female shopkeeper was escorted back in time by two officers.

"Bold, in the courtroom, you dare to beat others. Come on, pull down and hit five boards." The county magistrate slapped the gavel in his hand, and gave an order.

The female shopkeeper was shocked and begged for mercy, but the official didn't give her a chance and pulled her down.

Soon, her screams sounded outside the courtyard.

Wang Cui couldn't help but lose face when she heard the board hit the female shopkeeper.

The county magistrate looked at her: "Go ahead."

"Yes." She shrank her neck and said slowly: "The shopkeeper also said that as long as the business in the shop is good, the money is indispensable to the women. If the adults don't believe it, the women have evidence, and the shopkeeper will still hide the 200 taels of silver that the shopkeeper gave to the villain." Under the stove in a peasant woman's house."

"So, this matter is instigated by the shopkeeper."

The county magistrate looked over like a mountain, Wang Cui took a deep breath, and nodded in response: "Yes, I got it under the orders of the shopkeeper."

The county magistrate waved his hand and sent Xu Guan to the woman's house to collect evidence.

Not long after, the female shopkeeper with a hoarse crying voice was dragged in after being beaten five boards.

Xiao Yunheng informed the official of the identity of the female shopkeeper in due course, and the official informed the county magistrate.

Hearing this, the county magistrate looked at Xiao Yunheng and Lu Xiyue who were at the side of the court, and his brows furrowed.

Why is the Ji family involved?

The Ji family honors him a lot every year, and sometimes when something happens on his side, he just turns a blind eye and turns a blind eye to it.

There are many people around the county yamen, and today's incident obviously cannot be fooled. These two couples will really find trouble for him.

The county magistrate was dissatisfied and couldn't show it on his face, so he turned his anger on the female shopkeeper: "Mr. Feng, I want to ask you, what is your relationship with Ji Jia Dalang?"

The woman lay down on the ground, enduring the pain in her body and replied: "My lord, Mr. Ji is a distant cousin of the women."

Hearing the answer, the magistrate's heart sank slightly.

The people surrounding the discussion became louder.

In the past two days, the Ji family has been on the cusp. First, the young wife of the Ji family and the eldest man of the Ji family had a quarrel for some unknown reason, and now such an incident has been involved.

While everyone was guessing, they came to a conclusion.

This lady of the Lu family really can't be offended, every time I run into her family, the unlucky ones are from another group.

The county magistrate asked again: "Wang Cui's accusation, what else do you have to say?"

Facing the dirty water falling from the sky, Feng struggled to get up from the ground and knelt down with difficulty: "Men's wife, people's wife doesn't recognize me."

Wang Cui's brows twitched violently, as if she had a guilty conscience and didn't dare to lift her head.

The county magistrate was quite surprised when he heard her answer: "Do you have evidence?"

Mrs. Feng was anxious just now and couldn't gather her thoughts. Now she calmed down and thought of the loophole in Wang Cui's words: "Your Excellency also said just now that the peasant woman came from thousands of miles to join her cousin, and Wang Cui said that the peasant woman gave her a lot of money. Well, it's strange to say, if women want so much money, why would they come all the way here to find their relatives?"

These words were like a stone falling into the water, causing quite a stir.

Feng's argument is not unreasonable, 200 taels of silver is not easy to earn, ordinary people can't save this money in their lifetime.

Wang Cui panicked, and before the county magistrate could ask, she said to herself, "Maybe, maybe it was earned by opening a shop. The shopkeeper also knows that the dim sum I can make is from Qipin Xiangzhai."

Thinking of this, she became more confident, and met Feng's angry eyes: "The shopkeeper is very happy when he makes money, but now that the Dongchuang incident has happened, he wants to push all the blame on me. There is no such thing as a Such a reason."

"You—" Feng Shi was out of breath, unable to answer for a while.

It was she who was obsessed with ghosts, knowing that Wang Cui's craftsmanship was unscrupulous, but she still let her do it out of luck.

Now comes the retribution.

Feng Shi knew that she couldn't explain this matter, so she gouged out Wang Cui's eyes bitterly: "Nothing, why do you say that I gave you the money, and I also said that you planted it on me in order to get rid of the crime. "

"Nonsense!" Wang Cui's eyes widened, she didn't expect Feng to say that.

"Shut up." The county magistrate couldn't take it anymore and interrupted the dispute between the two.

There was an instant silence in the courtroom.

Lu Xiyue took a step forward, glanced at the upright Wang Cui, and said indifferently: "My lord, this Wang Cui insisted that the money was given by Mrs. Feng. We only need to check the account books of Qingpinfang to know whether the money is right or not." .”

The magistrate's eyes lit up when he heard the words. This is a good way.

Feng Shi listened with lowered eyes, with joy on his face.

She lost her cousin and poorly opened Qingpinfang to live. She is grateful to the Ji family's kindness every day. These days, there is no room for any mistakes in the accounts. She has to check every day, and the money she earns is not used.

As long as she checks the accounts, she can prove her innocence.

Wang Cui obviously knew this truth very well, the blood on his face faded, and he could barely speak: "My lord, there is nothing to investigate."

The county magistrate ignored it and asked someone to fetch the account book of Qingpinfang.

When the Qingpinfang was seized, the ledgers and the silver in the warehouse were brought over, and soon the officials took out the ledgers and presented them.

After checking the account, Xu Guancha also came back with 200 taels of silver.

"Bold Wang Cui!" After reading the account book, the county magistrate's face turned dark, as if he didn't expect to go to court, and this woman dared to tell lies to fool him.

Wang Cui knew something was wrong, so she hurriedly lowered her head.

"My lord, you might as well take a look at the big seal of the bank on this bank note first." Xiao Yunheng said suddenly.

The county magistrate understood what he meant, took the bank note and took a closer look.

The big seal on it is the seal of Chen's bank, and the big seal on it is intact and undamaged, obviously it was released not long ago.

Go to a nearby bank to check through the seal and the ticket number, and you will know who the last person to withdraw the silver for these two silver tickets is.

Thinking of the relationship between the Feng family and the Ji family, the county magistrate had a bad feeling in his heart.

He turned his face to the left, Lu Xiyue and Xiao Yunheng were on the left, and on the right was a young man whom he thought was born.

The fabric of the brocade clothes on the young man is gorgeous, and the jade pendant on his waist is even more extraordinary. It is unknown which noble family it came from.
