"Do you think I'm a fool? You just don't like the restaurant. Why did He say it was you who instigated it?" Ye Jincheng stared at the two of them solemnly and snorted coldly.
"Lu Qin, bring the people up." Ye Jincheng told the leading officer standing aside.
Lu Qin cupped his fists in response and winked at the men below him.
After a while, a white-haired old woman was escorted up.
"Ms. Dong, tell me everything you saw." Lu Qin received Ye Jincheng's look and shouted loudly.
Ms. Dong knelt down tremblingly, lowered her head and lowered her eyes and said softly: "The old woman saw two men going to her neighbor Fang Dasheng's house at night a few days ago. The woman thought they were relatives at the time and didn't think much about it."
"But when the woman got up to water the vegetable garden this morning, she saw two more men coming to the neighbor Fang Dasheng's house. They were the same two men before. Fang Dasheng's wife He welcomed them in."
"The woman heard some arguments and just wanted to go over to take a look. She saw a crying He sending the two men out. The two men looked very happy on their faces."
"Take a closer look, are they two men?" Lu Qin's calm voice sounded.
The old woman glanced at the two men beside her in fear. After receiving their vicious and threatening gazes, she trembled and lowered her head in silence.
Lu Qin stepped forward and kicked the two of them. Then he looked at the old woman with gentle eyes and said softly: "Old man, you don't have to be afraid. Our county magistrate is a wise official and will definitely protect your safety."
of."
Hearing this, the old woman quickly glanced at the smiling Ye Jincheng on the stage, gritted her teeth, and shouted in a long voice: "It's the two of them!"
"Lord County Magistrate! You can't listen to this old godly woman's words! She is so old, her eyesight must not be good, and she can't see people clearly! She must be from the Jiang family, and she just wants to murder someone.
We are two brothers!" Zhang Xiaochun stared at Jiang Hexi gloomily and shouted loudly.
Jiang Hexi was not afraid of him, she glanced at him expressionlessly and looked away in boredom.
"You are talking nonsense! Mr. Qingtian! The old woman has been innocent all her life. No one in the village has praised me endlessly. The old woman has never been slandered like this! You must make the decision for me!" Old woman
He wailed and stared at Zhang Xiaochun whiningly.
Ye Jincheng glanced at Zhang Xiaochun warningly. After seeing that he lowered his head and said nothing, he looked at the old woman gently and said, "Don't worry, old man, I will never believe his words."
"Come here, Xuan Fang Da Ya comes to the hall!" Ye Jincheng's loud voice sounded.
A thin girl was brought up.
"Fang Daya, tell me, have you seen these two men, and have you heard what your mother said to them?" Ye Jincheng's gentle voice sounded.
Fang Daya knelt down and looked at them carefully, then lowered his head and said: "I have seen the two of them. They found my parents a few days ago and said that they asked my father to go to Chunjiang Restaurant and pretend to be hungry to blackmail them.
, and told my father that if my father was willing to die in Chunjiang Restaurant, they would be willing to give our family fifty taels of silver."
"But my father didn't want to do it. He said he couldn't do such heartless things! He also didn't let my mother agree. My mother couldn't resist my father, so she had to drive them all away."
"However, since they came, my father's illness has become worse day by day, until this morning, my father passed away!"
As she said that, Fang Daya cried bitterly, then wiped away some bitter tears, stared at Mr. He with a pair of cannibalistic eyes and said, "I suspect it's her! Mr. He! She colluded with outsiders and wanted to kill my father!"
"
"She has been hooking up with this man for a long time! They often go to the mountains for trysts while my father is seriously ill in bed! I have seen it with my own eyes several times!" Fang Daya suddenly stared at Zhang Xiaochun, pointed at him and shouted
road.
"I overheard them discussing how to sell Erya and I to a brothel! County Magistrate! My father was killed by them! You have to make the decision for us!" Fang Daya's hysterical pain sounded.
.
"No way! This is the relationship between a pair of adulterers!" A man gathered around the county government office to watch the show exclaimed.
"This girl is so pitiful. Her father was killed, and she and her sister can't even survive!" An aunt lamented and looked at Fang Daya not far away with great sympathy.
"Most of the stepmothers are bad to begin with, not to mention her father is still ill. The sisters can't let this vicious woman bully them to death!" The woman on the side glanced at the two bastard men and women with disdain.
Pooh.
Ye Jincheng stared dumbfounded at this sudden reversal, and couldn't believe his eyes.
"Sir, He is Fang Daya's stepmother." Lu Qin noticed his confusion and reminded him softly.
"He! What do you have to say?" Ye Jincheng finally came to his senses, turned around and stared at He and shouted.
Mrs. He immediately burst into tears and said, "My lord, county magistrate! Don't be deceived by this girl! She has long disliked me. People say it's hard to be a stepmother. This is really true!"
"Ever since I married into their Fang family, I have devoted myself to serving her father who is seriously ill in bed every day. I didn't expect that in the end I would be wronged like this! I can't live anymore! I can't live anymore!" He said.
Then he rolled on the floor and started crying.
Fang Daya's eyes were so angry that her eyes were red, and her voice seemed to be squeezed out from between her teeth: "Bah! You vicious woman! My father used to be as strong as an ox, but since you married into our family,
My father contracted tuberculosis for no apparent reason, and it got worse and worse!"
"Don't think I don't know! It's you and this man who have taken a fancy to our family's land! In order to cure my father's illness, you had no choice but to sell the more than 20 acres of land left by my grandparents.
He said he invited some miracle doctor to come over and treat my father."
"But my father's health is getting worse day by day, and in the end there is only one breath left! I didn't understand why before, but since I saw you and this man having a tryst in the mountains, I suspected that it was you who did it!"
"It's pitiful that my father still believes in you! He doesn't believe what I say at all, and he still defends you! Dad, you are so confused! Open your eyes and see, this is a vicious woman with a heart of snakes and scorpions, and she is not a good person!"
Looking at the crying poor girl, Jiang Hexi became more and more silent and sighed silently.
"Your Excellency, County Magistrate, I want to sue Mr. He and this man for killing my father in order to murder my family's money!" Fang Daya suddenly calmed down and kowtowed loudly three times to Ye Jincheng, who was already stunned.
Hearing this, Ye Jincheng calmed down, sighed quietly, and reminded seriously: "Fang Daya, do you know that you have to fight thirty times to sue your parents before you can accept the case? You have to think about it.
."
"I'm not afraid! I must get justice for my father today!" Fang Daya's face was firm and calm, and her tone was sonorous and powerful.
The people outside the yamen were silent, looking at the persistent and resolute figure with complicated eyes.
Ye Jincheng shook his head helplessly and nodded slightly towards Lu Qin.
Lu Qin understood what he meant and winked at his two cronies.
The two officers nodded understandingly, escorted Fang Daya to a bench, raised the long wooden board in their hands, and looked at Ye Jincheng.
"Start the execution!" Ye Jincheng shouted, and then looked away unbearably.
The sound of banging and banging of flesh was heard, accompanied by the woman's moans of pain from time to time.
The people who gathered around the gate of the county government office could no longer bear to watch, and some women even wiped away tears.
"Doctor Gu, please show this girl." As soon as the punishment was over, Ye Jincheng spoke sincerely to Dr. Gu, who had been standing aside for a long time.
Old Doctor Gu took a deep breath, glanced at Lu Qin first, and then walked over with heavy steps.
Lu Qin understood his concerns and nodded to the two men below him.
Two men immediately carried the unconscious Fang Daya to the adjacent wing for treatment.
"He, Zhang Xiaochun, and Fang Daya are suing you for the murder of her father. The case will be tried later. Now, let's continue the interrogation of the Chunjiang Restaurant case!" Ye Jincheng slammed the gavel and stared at the two of them and shouted.
"Qin Fu! Tell me why you colluded with the He family to frame Chunjiang Restaurant!" Ye Jincheng turned to look at Qin Fu, who kept his head bowed and remained silent, and roared angrily.
Qin Fu immediately shook his body and cried: "Lord County Magistrate, I don't know anything! This is all what Zhang Xiaochun asked me to do! Sir, please spare my life!"
Seeing how timid he was, Ye Jincheng breathed a sigh of relief and shouted to Lu Qin: "Since he refuses to speak, then torture him!"
Before he had played a few big games, Qin Fu couldn't stand it any longer and hurriedly shouted: "I say! I say! Stop playing!"
Lu Qin waved his hand, signaling the two people below to stop.
"Both Zhang Xiaochun and I took money from the big shopkeeper of Yuelai Restaurant and followed his orders to go to Chunjiang Restaurant to cause trouble. The big shopkeeper said that Chunjiang Restaurant must be suppressed to death, and it would be best to let them be involved in human life lawsuits.
."
"It just so happened that Zhang Xiaochun and the He family had been together for a long time. He proposed to let Fang Dasheng die to blackmail Chunjiang Restaurant. Unexpectedly, he was discovered by the people of the restaurant in the end."
"Come here, escort the boss of Yuelai Restaurant back to me!" Ye Jincheng patted the gavel and shouted.
More than half an hour later, Lu Qin escorted a group of people from Yuelai Restaurant back in force.
"He Yuan! Qin Fu said that you instigated the three of them to blackmail Chunjiang Restaurant. Can you plead guilty?" Ye Jincheng asked immediately when he saw He Yuan and others kneeling down.
"Your Excellency, it is clear that they are all scoundrels, and they don't know what to say. No, when they saw that the bad things they had done were exposed, they actually poured dirty water on our Yuelai Restaurant."
"Although we at Yuelai Restaurant have always been kind, we are not willing to be bullied!" He Yuan complained as if he had been wronged.
