Dressed as a blacksmith

On the second day, there was a joint trial in the court.

Because yesterday's arrests made a big fuss with people, and one of them was the well-known shopkeeper of Yuqiaoji in Yunshui County, many people gathered outside the hall in a short period of time, and there were many discussions.

"I really didn't expect that Yu Qiaoji would do such a thing!"

"I don't think it's possible. I bought something there, and it tastes really good, and the shopkeeper is very polite."

"Just say that you know people, know faces, but don't know your heart!"

Qiao Yuan was summoned to the court. He stayed up all night, but he finally saw Yu Dameng who was worried about him. Seeing that he was in good health, and he didn't look like he had been tortured, he felt at ease.

Both Zhang Wensheng and Qiao Guangzhi were in the courtroom. Zhang Wensheng was sitting and Qiao Guangzhi was standing behind him.Zhang Wensheng looked like he was enjoying the show, while Qiao Guangzhi's eyes seemed to be spitting poison.

Ma Shun'er was summoned up, he was timid, he didn't dare to look at Qiao Yuan, he knelt down, and couldn't get up, "Caomin Ma Shun'er is the cashier of Yu Qiao Ji, suing Yu Qiao Ji for making dim sum The rice noodles are adulterated and low-quality, and the spoiled dim sum is refurbished and sold.”

Ma Shun'er filed an appeal, the magistrate looked at it for a while, then slammed the gavel and said, "Yu Dameng and Qiao Yuan, can you two plead guilty?"

Qiao Yuan knelt down and also presented the paper, "My lord, what are we guilty of?"

This pleading paper was dictated by Qiao Yuan yesterday, and the most famous litigator in the city was invited to polish it at a high price.

At that time, the county magistrate didn't even look at it, he threw it aside and roared: "Bold! Detective Zhuo already found evidence in your shop yesterday, how dare you argue!"

The yamen servant carried the evidence and walked around the hall.

When everyone saw it, it was incredible.

"That rice has blue spots and mold!"

"There is bran in the noodles, the dim sum will go bad at first sight!"

"Then Yu Qiaoji earns so much money every day, how can he still do such a thing?"

"Not necessarily. I remember that during the Lantern Festival, shopkeeper Joe set up a tent to give porridge in Anjiyuan and donated 200 taels of silver. How can he be such a treacherous and greedy person? Let's see again."

Shi Zhixian felt that the foolish people were making noise, so he shouted, "Silence!"

Qiao Yuan said: "As for Ma Shun'er's complaint, the grassroots have reason to argue."

"First, the raw materials are adulterated and inferior. The rice noodles used by Caomin shop are all purchased from Jiacang grain store. As we all know, the rice noodles sold by Jiacang grain store have special marks on the side of the sack. Caomin just observed it. Zhuo Butou searched There is no mark on the sacks for the evidence that came out. The rice noodles and expenses purchased by the grassroots every month are recorded, and the purchases are far greater than the expenses of the shop, and the grasslanders do not need to use such adulterated raw materials.”

When everyone heard it, yes, if adulterated ones were used, why would they need to buy so much rice and noodles from Jiacang Grain Store every month, and how much can people eat by themselves?They know Jiacang Grain Shop. The high-quality grain shop in the city specializes in high-quality rice and noodles. Although they rarely go there to buy it, they are very familiar with this shop. They know the products in that shop and other places. The packages are different!Exclusively for the rich!

"Secondly, Caomin's shop has always had a good business in selling spoiled snacks, and only when the weather is bad will there be leftovers. When this happens, Caomin usually gives it to the neighbors around the shop, distributes it to the shop assistant or Pack it home and give it to the family you have been friends with in the village. Even Ma Shun'er has never been short of his snacks in this situation since he started working in Caomin's shop. In this matter, Zhu shopkeeper of Yuhuchun and Zhenwei Distillery Shopkeeper Qin and the good friends in our village can all prove it."

"As for the spoiled dim sum from the shop, the grass people don't know where it comes from?"

When everyone heard it, what they were saying was that Yu Qiaoji's dim sum was only available in limited quantities, and it was really hard to buy, especially during the Chinese New Year, when the sales were crazy, there were so many leftover dim sum.People are not stupid, and when the weather is bad, they will definitely not do more!Taking a step back, we are not stupid, can't we eat it if it goes bad?

"Thirdly, Ma Shun'er is a man. As he said just now, he is just a cash register guy. The dim sum in Caomin shop all have secret recipes, and the back kitchen guys are all servants with a death contract. Like He is hired by the grassroots guards against him and won't let him into the back kitchen at all, so how does he know about the back kitchen of the shop?"

"Moreover, after yesterday's incident, Cao Min went to Ma Shun'er's house to look for him, but he was not there, but Cao Min saw that his mother was wearing a brand new gold bracelet on her wrist. Cao Min asked someone to find out about his family background. It is impossible for him to afford a gold bracelet of that weight because of his use case and income situation. And when his mother bragged to her neighbors, she also said that she bought it recently, and the grassroots suspect that he was bought and deliberately framed."

The crowd had been convinced by Qiao Yuan's series of analysis, and seeing that Ma Shun'er was shaking like a sieve, they must have a guilty conscience, and they were very angry for a while, and they all accused Ma Shun'er of being black-hearted.

Yu Dameng was proud in his heart, his husband was capable, the two looked at each other and smiled.

Shi Zhixian didn't expect Qiao Yuan, a little brother, to be so eloquent and organized.He couldn't help sweating a little, and seeing Ma Shun'er's incompetent appearance, he felt depressed. He didn't know where Zhang Wensheng found such a person who couldn't make it on the stage!

Zhang Wensheng saw that it was not good, put away the folding fan in his hand and said: "You just said..."

Qiao Yuan immediately cut off his words, "I've never heard that Zhang Xiucai got a job in the county government. I don't know what capacity Zhang Xiucai is using to argue here today, but is Ma Shun'er the lawyer hired by Ma Shun'er?"

Litigation divisions, also known as litigation gangsters and litigators, are usually the livelihood of hopeless people who fail the imperial examinations. Ordinary serious scholars look down on the profession of litigation divisions.

Zhang Wensheng felt extremely humiliated, Kuang Ma Shun'er is a pariah, how can he be worthy of him?

He was so angry that he almost jumped up.

Shi Zhixian glanced at him, and Zhang Wensheng immediately closed his mouth and resumed his appearance as that fake son.

The master stepped forward and whispered a few words to Shi Zhixian, Shi Zhixian slammed the hall and said: "Spoken words and strong arguments! One of the things you said just now is that you don't know that the rice noodles you bought from Jiacang grain store are reserved for yourself. For your own use, half of the shop’s raw materials are true or false? The cost records can be falsified, and there is no way to verify it now; second, the witnesses you mentioned are all friends with you, and oral testimony is not enough to prove it; third, you only have a gold It is nonsense to conclude that Ma Shun'er was bribed!"

Ma Shun'er was trembling all over, straightened up and said: "Yes... yes, my lord is aware, the young family has been a good citizen for generations, how... how dare you do such a thing of framing? What's more... the little one and the shopkeeper Qiao There is no enmity in the past, no grudges in dealings, there is really no reason to falsely accuse him!"

"Ma Shun'er!" Qiao Yuan's eyes were bright and his voice was like thunder, "I also want to ask, I ask myself why I treat you well in the past, why do you do such a thing like eating inside and outside! If you have a god in your head, you won't be afraid Are you condemned by God?"

Ma Shun'er staggered, fell to the ground again, and cried softly.

Everyone is sure now, then Ma Shun'er must have a guilty conscience!

"Presumptuous!" Shi Zhixian snapped again, "Are you threatening the plaintiff in court?"

"My lord, the grass people don't dare." Qiao Yuan said neither humble nor overbearing: "First, the grass people can't predict the foresight. If it is said that the expense records are falsified, how can they start falsifying from the beginning of the store's opening? The grass people just said that from the Jiacang grain store The purchased rice noodles are far greater than the cost of the shop, and the grass people can take the maximum amount for their own food, and just a little checking shows that the grass people don't need to use this adulterated raw material at all."

"Secondly, the grassroots people were born in the countryside, and they have no power or power. It is impossible to convince so many people to testify at the same time. Thirdly, Ma Shun'er is guilty of a crime at the moment, and the adults only need to interrogate him a little bit to decide whether he will confess himself."

"I still use you to teach me to solve the case?" Shi Zhixian screamed, becoming angry from embarrassment, "You little brother, talking nonsense in the court, so frivolous! And I heard that you were brought up by your uncle since you were young." After getting married, he actually asked him for his parents' property, disregarding human relations and filial piety, he is not a kind person!"

"I think you are a little brother. If women and children are treated preferentially in court, you will not be punished."

"It's a matter of not beating or recruiting now, come here, beat Yu Dameng's court with twenty sticks, and beat me hard! This officer will see if he recruits or not."

If you want Yu Xiangxue to bow his head, you have to give him a hard time, so that he will know that it is no good to fight against him, so today, no matter what, let this Yu Dameng Qiao Yuan plead guilty.

When the time comes, let Yu Xiangxue kneel and beg him to let him go!

When the county magistrate made up his mind, he threw a sign under the hall, "Execution!"

The onlookers were in an uproar. Even though they couldn't read a few words and didn't understand the principles, they knew that the case should not be judged so hastily.Not to mention that Brother Qiao's statement is clear and well-organized, and the witnesses and evidences are complete. If you take a step back, even if what he said is not all true, it is doubtful. The county magistrate should send someone to verify it. .

When the order sign landed, there were two yamen servants on the left and right sides who were about to come to arrest Yu Dameng. Qiao Yuan was so angry that he rushed over to stop him. The yamen servants came to arrest Qiao Yuan again. He hired a few yamen servants to protect Qiao Yuan and prevent others from approaching him.

"You dog official! You want to be tortured indiscriminately, what's the law?" Qiao Yuan pointed at Shi Zhixian's nose and scolded, "If you dare to punish my husband today, I will make your head fall to the ground tomorrow!"

"You want to rebel!" Shi Zhixian patted the gavel again. If he was just worried about Yu Xiangxue's wanting to leave room, Qiao Yuan was so aggressive that he didn't want to care about anything. He threw down another warrant, "How dare you insult the court officials in the courtroom, okay, then I will beat you too!"

"you dare!"

He listened to his voice before seeing him, and everyone outside the court consciously gave way to this man, Shi Zhixian squinted his eyes and got up, seeing that it was a little brother again, he felt dizzy, "Where did you come from again?" brothers?"

Could it be that he had a conflict with his little brother today!

"I am Chu Li, the king of Dong'an, I order you to release him quickly!" Chu Li shouted angrily, and the guards with knives on the left and right rushed forward to protect Qiao Yuanyu Dameng, and confronted the yamen servant.

Qiao Yuan made up his mind, snatched the key from the yamen servant, and released the shackles for Yu Dameng. There was already a heavy strangle mark on his neck, and Qiao Yuan's heart ached terribly.

There was silence all around, everyone was startled by this unexpected mutation.I don't know who took the lead first, but the common people fell to their knees.

All the people in the court panic looked at the county magistrate who was still at the desk, and saw the county magistrate laughed twice and said: "You don't even have a decent name for pretending!"

"I don't know when this prince was promoted in the court?" Shi Zhixian seemed to have heard something funny, "Besides, you are still a humble little brother, crowned king? Hahahaha, it's so ridiculous!"

Chu Li was the new prince a few years ago, the poor magistrate in this small town has no one in the court and no one is well informed, and now he doesn't even know that the court has newly promoted this prince.

He decided that Chu Li was a liar, and instantly changed his face, commanding the servants on the left and right sides: "Don't let me take it down?"

"Bold!" Chu Li was blown away by this ugly magistrate, and he didn't know how he became a parent official!

"You speak disrespectfully, if you offend the next one, you will be punished according to the law!"

He was born in a noble family, and he had a dignified face when he put on a straight face. When Shi Zhixian saw that he was still so tough, his heart beat a little.But with so many people in the hall watching, he was a little bit hard to get off.He was about to blur the past and planned to discuss it another day.

Then I saw a man in a red official uniform rushing over with a skirt in one hand and a black gauze hat in the other. He knelt down and pleaded guilty to the little brother: "Your Majesty, this official is late, this official deserves to die, this official is not strict , I hope the prince will forgive me."

Shi Zhixian took a closer look, and found that it was the prefect!

His body instantly softened like noodles, and he fell down.
