Traveling through the years of disaster, I took Lingquan Space to escape the famine

County Magistrate Yang had been an official for so long that he naturally knew what kind of people could be arrested and what kind of people could not be arrested.

Besides, if the government wants to arrest someone, someone has to report the case. As a local official, County Magistrate Yang cannot just arrest people randomly and hand the evidence to others.

"Oh? So someone reported the case first, and then the county magistrate arrested the person?"

"Hey, girl, since someone reported the case first, we have to handle it, right? People say that someone died from eating rapeseed moss from your garden, I can't just ignore it, right?"

When Lin Jiuyue heard what County Magistrate Yang said, she rolled her eyes speechlessly.

"Before arresting anyone, magistrate, do you have any clear evidence? If not, how can you say that it was my rapeseed that killed someone?"

County Magistrate:…

No, isn't it true that a case is only tried after someone reports it? This case hasn't even been tried yet, so how can we know if they are guilty or not?

When Lin Jiuyue saw County Magistrate Yang like this, she knew in her heart that County Magistrate Yang had no evidence to prove that Xiyue and the others were guilty.

"Mr. County Magistrate, you look like you don't have any evidence, right? If you don't have any evidence, then why did you arrest my servants?"

County Magistrate Yang: ...

"Girl, the trial of this case hasn't even started yet..."

Lin Jiuyue blinked, not understanding what County Magistrate Yang meant for a moment.

It took a while to react.

I forgot that this is ancient times, which is not like the 21st century. In the 21st century, people can be detained only after they are confirmed guilty, but here, it is common to detain people first and then try them.

"My Lord, I misunderstood."

"Since the county magistrate has not yet heard the case, could you please call the plaintiff here? That's a good opportunity for us to confront each other face to face."

County Magistrate Yang hesitated and said nothing.

"Is the county magistrate afraid of offending the Li family?"

"Hey, girl, it's not that I don't want to call people over, but I don't have the face to do so."

Lin Jiuyue:......

"Since the county magistrate has said so, let me handle this matter. I also hope that when the time comes, the county magistrate can come as a witness after I find the person."

"Okay, okay girl, I'll be there when the time comes."

With ordinary people, County Magistrate Yang always calls himself "this official", but in front of Lin Jiuyue, County Magistrate Yang always calls himself "I". It can be seen that the token that Gu Chengyan gave to Lin Jiuyue still has some gold content.

After communicating with County Magistrate Yang, Lin Jiuyue drove to the capital with Lai Fu and Lai Cai.

Before going to the border, Lin Jiuyue met the eldest master of the Li family in the capital.

I hope that the eldest young master of the Li family has not left when I go to the capital this time.

Lin Jiuyue rushed to the capital city at full speed and went straight to the Li family's shop.

After entering Li’s shop, Lin Jiuyue went straight to the shop owner.

"Shopkeeper, is your master still in the capital?"

Shopkeeper Li was busy calculating the accounts when he suddenly heard Lin Jiuyue's words. He subconsciously looked up at Lin Jiuyue.

"Girl, who are you?"

"My last name is Lin. I have something to ask your master. Is your master still in the capital?"

Shopkeeper Li saw that Lin Jiuyue was quite polite in her words and did not seem like someone who was out to cause trouble.

"Miss, do you know my master? If so, I can tell him. As for whether my master wants to see you, that is not something I can decide."

Lin Jiuyue nodded.

"Well, in that case, then you can help tell him that a woman named Lin wants to meet him."

"Just say it's something related to Xiyue."

Shopkeeper Li usually stayed in the capital and didn't know who Xiyue was. Just as he was about to ask, a female voice suddenly rang out at the door.

"Miss, do you have something to ask me?"

When Lin Jiuyue heard the voice, she subconsciously turned her head to look at the door.

A woman in yellow clothes appeared in front of him, followed by two maids, looking quite impressive.

"you are?"

Before the woman could say anything, Shopkeeper Li spoke.

"Miss, this is my young lady."

Hearing what Shopkeeper Li said, Lin Jiuyue frowned.

I was looking for the eldest young master of the Li family, so how come the eldest young lady of the Li family suddenly appeared?

Forget it. If I can’t find the eldest young master of the Li family, the eldest young lady of the Li family will do. They are all the masters of the Li family anyway.

"Are you the wife of the eldest young master of the Li family?"

The woman nodded and said with a somewhat arrogant look.

"Yes, I wonder if you have something to ask me?"

Lin Jiuyue nodded.

"Since you are the master of the Li family, then I must have something to ask you."

"Have you ever heard of Xiyue from Shangbei Village, Madam?"

When the eldest lady of the Li family heard the name 'Xiyue', she was unable to react for a moment.

"I say Xiyue, maybe you are a little unfamiliar with this, but you should be very clear about Li Xue, right?"

"Li Xue? Who are you to her? What do you want from me?"

Lin Jiuyue saw that the expression on the Li family's eldest young lady's face was a little strange.

"I should be asking the eldest young lady this question. Li Xue is my servant now. When did it become the eldest young lady's turn to frame me?"

When the eldest lady of the Li family heard Lin Jiuyue's words, she looked a little flustered.

"Miss, you must be responsible for what you say. When have I ever framed anyone of yours?"

Lin Jiuyue showed a sneer on his lips.

"No matter what, the Li family is still a famous merchant family. What? You dare not admit it?"

"That's right, I was the one who sued Xiyue and the others to the government. The rapeseed sprouts you sold killed people, so what's wrong with me suing them to the government?"

The eldest lady of the Li family was not a fool. After hearing Lin Jiuyue's decisive words, she realized that Lin Jiuyue already knew everything, so she simply stopped pretending.

"You said that the rapeseed we sell has killed people. Do you have any evidence? If you don't have any evidence, then you are making a false accusation, and making a false accusation is against the law, Madam, do you understand this?"

When the eldest lady of the Li family heard this, she was stunned.

Li Xue knew very well whether the rapeseed sprouts sold by her colleagues had killed people or not.

But.

As for Li Xue's current master, he had already inquired about it. Not only did he have no power, but his little wealth was earned from farming. Even if they had evidence to prove that he had falsely accused her, he could still get away with it.

"Of course I know..."

Lin Jiuyue nodded.

"Since you know, that's great. Madam Li, please come with me. The government is waiting to hear the case."

Mrs. Li's eldest son...

No, if I follow this woman, won't Li Xue be exposed in front of her husband? No, I can't go!

"You said you wanted me to go with you, so I'll go with you? Who do you think you are? Are you worthy of my wife going with you?"

After hearing this, Lin Jiuyue's eyes showed a hint of coldness.

"Madam, is this a guilty conscience?"
