Chapter 2893 The Real World 256
The next day, the hearing was held again, and there were still huge crowds of people outside.

Zhang Er said to Mr. Zhang: "My lord, before the trial, I want to say one thing."

"what's up?"

"Yesterday, Mu Zhitao couldn't convict her because of the handkerchief. What if the handkerchief was fake?" Zhang Er said.

"Of course it doesn't count."

"Okay. I want to confront Aunt Xi." Zhang Er said forcefully.

"Chuan Xi."

The Xi family came up again, and this time it was Zhang Ershi who questioned him.

"We all know that Mrs. Xi is a widow and her life is difficult, but yesterday I saw her wearing a gold bracelet, and she went to the butcher's stall to buy pork, and she pulled cloth to go home."

"According to what I know from Aunt Xi's neighbors, Aunt Xi can't buy pork a few times throughout the year, and she doesn't have any scraps for several years. I also asked if they know whether Aunt Xi has a gold bracelet. They all Said that she had never seen her wearing any gold bracelet. My lord, you can call the neighbors around Aunt Xi to ask if what I said is true."

"pass."

Immediately came three women, all of them were neighbors who lived next door to Aunt Xi, they were all honest and poor people.

"I am asking you, you must tell the truth, and if you dare to tell even the slightest lie, you will be punished directly."

"Yes, yes, yes." The three nodded in fear.

"How is the situation at Aunt Xi's house?"

"Aunt Xi lost her husband in her early years, and she always took care of her parents-in-law alone. Her parents-in-law are old and can't do work. His father-in-law has bad legs, and her mother-in-law is paralyzed on the bed. The family's livelihood is under the pressure of Aunt Xi She is a hard-working woman, and she has been relying on neighbors to help her for many years."

"That's right. The clothes she was wearing were all made when her husband-in-law was around. Since her husband-in-law left, she has never seen her making clothes again."

"Have you ever seen her wearing a gold bracelet?" Master Zhang asked.

All three shook their heads.

"My lord, if she could afford the gold bracelet, her life wouldn't be so miserable."

"Yeah yeah."

Zhang Er immediately said: "My lord, she wears that gold bracelet on her hand. You can search and find out."

Aunt Xi subconsciously hid her hand back. Immediately, a yamen servant stepped forward, grabbed her arm, and pulled out the hand she was hiding. A golden bracelet appeared on her wrist.

The yamen servant took off the bracelet and handed it to Mr. Zhang.

Master Zhang looked at the gold bracelet, it was in good condition, "Xi Shi, where did your bracelet come from?"

Aunt Xi's expression changed, and her speech also became faltering, "Bracelets, bracelets, I earned my own money."

"She lied."

Mr. Zhang was afraid of the gavel suddenly, "You tell the truth. Otherwise, I will punish you for contempt of court."

"I, I, I really earned that gold bracelet. Why can't I earn it myself." Aunt Xi said with her head straightened, pretending to be calm.

At this moment, a yamen servant walked up to Mr. Zhang and whispered something in Mr. Zhang's ear.

After Master Zhang nodded, a yamen servant came out with a package and threw it in front of Aunt Xi, "Do you recognize this item?"

Aunt Xi's complexion changed after seeing the package.

The yamen servant opened the package, and there was a pile of silver ingots inside. The shiny silver ingots were something that many people present could not earn in their entire lives.
