Chapter 135 Confrontation

Author: Siwu

Shuntian Mansion

When he returned to Jiangnan Prefecture, Yuchen still stayed with Cui Shexi and refused to leave. He was dedicated to helping Cui Shexi with disaster relief, but disaster relief was also prone to problems.

Yuchen specially chose the place to cook porridge at the city gate. First, the area outside the city gate is wide, which makes it easy to set up sheds and queue up with refugees. Second, refugees flee at the city gate can stop some refugees from entering the city. Famine and the movement of refugees bring risks of epidemics. Doing this can add a layer of protection to the people in the city.

The small courtyard where they lived was not far from the city gate. The embers arrived shortly after walking for a long time. The crowd was talking loudly, and howling sounds of shouting at the sky and the earth came from the center of the barrel.

Ember pushed away the crowd and squeezed in, and saw an old woman in rags lying on the ground. She was already thin and looked like a skinny skeleton. What's strange is that even though she was so thin, her abdomen was raised high, her eyes wide and her face was ferocious, and she was quite dying.

Yuchen immediately made a decision on the old woman's death.

One of the two officers who came was pulling Cui Shexi, and the other officer was dragged by the troublemaker's refugee and begging to make a decision. The scene was very chaotic. Yuchen took advantage of the time when no one noticed her, and first found a trick to help the friend to give him some instructions, handed him two more things, and then walked to the old woman and squatted down.

"What are you doing, you little sissy? Do you want to destroy the corpse? Leave my mother quickly!"

Yu Chen calmly put his hands and stood up, dodged the middle-aged man who was rushing towards him.

"Oh, it's unreasonable. My mother has no place to seek justice when she dies..."

Ignoring the man's tantrums, Yuchen owed to the officer, "I am the owner of Xingrong Rice and Grain Shop. I told the shop's staff to do the food and porridge. Today, Japan is here to see it, but I never thought that it would happen to a big deal. I dare not believe what others said. Can you ask the officer to tell me the whole story of the matter in detail?"

The servant was already upset by the refugees. Whether it was arrested or not, the refugees were not allowed. However, the troubles were very sensible. Now, there was a wise man. The other person had a good attitude and said polite and nice words. He was still a girl's house. The servant couldn't help but calm down and responded to Yuchen's request.

——

"Sir, a man who claims to be Xingrong Rice and Grain Shop in the east of the city is asking for advice."

"Rice and Grain Shop?"

The county magistrate was holding his fat belly and holding a stick to tease the wilted parrot in the cage. He raised his tone and was quite surprised, "Why are the people from the rice and grain shop here?"

The county magistrate didn't look back and made a tsk sound while twitching his mouth to guide the parrot to speak.

"I said I was asking you for your grievances, please come here."

"Ask for justice? Haha, I have been shouting for justice so many times throughout the day. Who among the prisoners who are locked in prison doesn't say justice? I can hear that, and I'll go there again. Who would like to go out now in this world?"

The yamen runner held a bulging purse and leaned over his head with his hands, "Sir, that man said he was filial to you, and he would return the innocent and give him a generous gift."

The county magistrate glanced at it, picked up his purse and weighed it, "It's a big deal." He pulled the drawstring and looked in, and his eyes were filled with brilliant luster, "Wow! Big deal!"

The county magistrate couldn't help but narrow his eyes into a slit.

This is full of golden leaves!

The county magistrate finally put the stick aside and tidied his sleeves, shouting: "Where is my hat? I want to preside over justice!"

"Yo! Found it!" The county magistrate put on his hat and turned around. The yamen runner hurried forward to help the county magistrate tie it up.

"What the hell is this? Tell me about it."

After listening to the remarks of the yamen runners adding fuel to the fire, the county magistrate said angrily: "These unruly people are so hateful. They don't care about the kindness of putting grain and porridge in the rice shop, but instead slander them for poisoning. Why do they have to do thankless things?"

"Sir, right!" After echoing, the yamen runner said flatteringly, "Sir, do you want to catch the person together?"

The county magistrate glanced at the big face that was shy in front of him for a few breaths, then slapped him, "What are you catching? We are officials, we pay attention to evidence when handling cases! Evidence!"

"Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes

The county magistrate slapped the yamen runners in the forehead again, "Catch them, why don't you catch them!"

The yamen runners were dizzy. Should they be arrested or not? Should they be arrested?

"When I examined the first trial, I will find the flaws, there will be evidence!"

The yamen runner suddenly realized, made a reverent statement, shouting: "Sir, wise!"

In this way, the wise adult walked out with the clever yamen runners raised their heads and raised their heads.

"By the way, sir, the young man just forgot to say that the boss of the rice and grain shop asked to bring the coroner from our yamen."

"Hey, there are still many requests. Those who don't know think this official is his subordinate!"

"Then... can we still bring it?"

"Take it, of course, even if he doesn't say it, I will still have to bring it."

"You, go back and call Chen Zhuzuo, and I will wait at the door."

"Ai!"

——

In fact, the old woman's murder case was not complicated, and the limit was not much misinterpreted during the rumor transmission. The man said that it was almost the same as the man who reported her to her.

After thoroughly understanding the whole story, Yu Chen had a clear understanding of the whole story.

The cause was that the woman received the porridge in the porridge shed, but after drinking half of the porridge, the old woman's abdominal pain was unbearable and she soon lost her breath. Seeing this, the old woman's son insisted that the porridge was poisoned. His mother was poisoned to death and yelled to report to the official. Because refugees often passed through the border, the officers patroled more diligently and just happened to run into it.

When the murder case was involved, the officers did not dare to make a rash judgment, so they immediately decided to take away the person who was in charge of selling the porridge and took the old woman's body back. As a result, the man was unhappy and took his son to obstruct him, saying that he would not let anyone touch his mother's body.

"Hiss, the little boy bites it very painful."

The officer said as he grinned and shook his hands. Yuchen saw a row of neat tooth marks on his hand, and blood was oozing out.

Bite quite hard.

Yu Chen turned his head to look at the old woman lying on the side of the corpse. A white handkerchief covered the old woman's face. The handkerchief was covered by her. The man leaned on the old woman and howled and cursed. A thin child followed the man to kneel beside the corpse, not crying or making a fuss. His eyes were dumb and he could not tell at all that he could open his mouth and bite people.

The eyes suddenly collided, and the little boy's eyes shone with a silky luster.

Yu Chen calmly withdrew his gaze, took out a small porcelain bottle from his purse he carried with him, and said to the servant: "I see that this matter will not be solved for a while. If the officer doesn't dislike it, I'll clean the wound in this porridge shed. It just so happens that there is a medicine for the injured girl here."

"Then thank you girl."

"Brother, you're welcome. It's just that the young woman has some superficial opinions. She is taking advantage of this moment to briefly express her opinions."

"That's it, you say, I'll listen."
