Quick Transmigration: Ten Thousand Worlds Charter Woman

After the sound of the drum to call out grievances three times, the second door of the government office opened, and two teams of government servants walked out of it, shouting "mighty" to ascend to the hall.

The gate of the government office is only a few steps away from the Erdaomen, and it is specially set up for some cases suitable for public trial, so as to promote the majesty of the emperor and order the officials to be clean.

Qinghe Prefecture is relatively prosperous, but its jurisdiction is not too large, and there are not many cases of this kind of public trial in a year. At the same time, this is the first time that the new magistrate Yuan Wenjing Yuan has tried a case publicly since he took office, so the common people They had already been rushing to tell each other, and when the second door inside was opened, the melon-eating crowd, who were familiar with the plot, immediately surrounded the house like a tide.

The yamen servant went forward and brought the plaintiff, the defendant, and the deceased into the second gate, and ordered everyone to kneel down. The three plaintiffs and one defendant knelt down and kowtowed to salute, and the other was the deceased, who could not salute directly while lying down. The owner, Wang Zhaodi, did not kneel proudly, and she stood out from the crowd in the hall.

"Your Majesty!"

Some yamen servants stopped drinking sharply.

He Xiaoman smiled slightly at the yamen servant: "I don't kneel down for the good of your lord. I raised him for nine years, provided him with food, clothing, food, and scientific research for his career. Now you ask me to kneel him, just ask." Does he dare to accept it?"

Yuan Wenjing's pupils flashed a look of hostility, but his face was filled with a smile like a spring breeze: "Indeed, now that the case has not been investigated and who did it, my stepmother should stop kneeling."

The yamen servant didn't seem to know this verse, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed, holding the water and fire stick with one hand, and scratching his hair with the other hand that had nowhere to rest.

After all the procedures were completed, the majestic and majestic magistrate slapped the gavel: "Who is under the hall, and what is wronged?"

So the plaintiff's mother-in-law, daughter-in-law and elder brother described the whole incident in an orderly manner, clearly and concisely, and the three complement each other, as if they had been rehearsed in advance.

This is tantamount to reorganizing the facts of the case for the later onlookers, and immediately the crowd began to discuss, basically accusing the chef of disregarding human life and the owner's lax governance.

Only He Xiaoman and the cook were on the defendant's side. The cook was so frightened that he was about to pee, and his body was shaking with rhythm. He didn't kill anyone, and the villain doesn't recognize him."

"Mother-in-law, what do you think?" Yuan Wenjing asked He Xiaoman respectfully.

He Xiaoman: What do you think?The old lady stood and watched.

Someone in the crowd began to clamor again: "Lord Yuan, is this the way to interrogate a sinner? It's fine if you don't kneel, but you still ask questions like you are facing an elder. If it were me who killed the murderer, I wouldn't plead guilty!"

"The new magistrate interrogated his mother. Everyone knows the outcome. It must be the plaintiff who falsely accused the poor Wang family. How could the magistrate's mother make a mistake?"

"Oh, she's just a foster mother, not a mother."

Yuan Wenjing listened to the performances of the old onmyojis in the crowd, his face was red and white, and he looked very embarrassed.

"This official... I will definitely handle this matter impartially, and will never show favoritism!"

With such a guilty conscience, he almost wrote "favoritism and fraud" on his forehead.

The little widow, the plaintiff, suddenly burst into tears: "Is this fair? Could it be that my strong husband died in vain? Leaving us orphans and widows, the whole family will have to starve to death in the future, woo woo woo~"

Weak people tend to easily arouse people's desire to protect.

More voices joined in, and began to put pressure on Yuan Wenjing, and finally, under the leadership of caring people, it finally became a unified voice: For the sake of the justice of the trial, Mr. Yuan is asked to recuse himself from this case.

As a result, the trial of the case officially began, and the three prefects of Tongzhi, Tongju and Zhouju were in charge of the joint trial.

One party insisted that the cook was poisoned and the other insisted that it was not. The plaintiff also provided witnesses from several diners present to prove that the deceased Lu San was indeed the one who jumped into the food first, and was carried out sideways after half a meal. There were two diners who had a good relationship with Lu San, and they were the ones who entertained Lu San.

In short, the final conclusion is that no matter what the reason is, it is indeed poisoned in the food and died.

In other words, Wang Zhaodi's management is not strict and there is no way to manage the store, so she will definitely follow suit.

"My lord, the woman has a question." He Xiaoman raised his hand to speak.

"Say."

Although Mr. Tongzhi is only a seventh-rank small sesame official, he still has great official authority in front of Wang Zhaodi, a merchant.

"Masters and neighbors, please take a good look at the attire of these three diners. Everyone should know that my restaurant is the most luxurious and expensive restaurant in Qinghe Prefecture, so it seems that these few didn't go to eat first. The conditions of eating..."

"Is it a matter of conditions now? Why, if you eat to death, you will gossip about people saying that they are poor. What's wrong with the poor? Poor people don't deserve to have a good meal every once in a while? Going to eat first will look down on you!"

A few words of "poor" seemed to have poked some people's lungs, and voices filled with righteous indignation roared from the crowd. Good and the like.

Although many people are easy to be led by their emotions, there is never a shortage of smart people. There are also people whispering in whispers, listening to the suffering master, their family can hardly afford food, why should they eat first? ?

You know, there are rules for dining first. Either you have to order two signature dishes, or you order a set menu directly from the restaurant. Even if it is a casual seat outside, the consumption level is at least two or three times that of ordinary restaurants. above.

It is understandable to say that the poor eat their teeth and go to restaurants to satisfy their hunger, but it is a bit unreasonable to choose such a place to satisfy their hunger. It just so happened that people were poisoned to death.

There are indeed coincidences, but there are too many coincidences, then there is only one possibility, and coincidences are man-made.

Yuan Wenjing picked up the teacup and took a sip. He seemed to be choking, and coughed lightly.

The cook seemed to have been touched by some switch suddenly. He shook his body, knelt down and kowtowed to He Xiaoman: "Master, I'm sorry for you. I really can't take this matter anymore. I also have a wife and children at home." , you can recruit!"

With a "boom", the crowd was like a handful of salt being sprinkled in a hot oil pan, and it turned out to be true!

Mr. Tongzhi knocked on the gavel vigorously, and even drank "Silence" to stop the discussion of the crowd.

"Bold Mrs. Wang, what kind of conspiracy and tricks are there, and you have to recruit them quickly!"

He Xiaoman smiled, and turned to look at the cook: "I really don't know what you are fighting for me, why don't you make a move first so I can understand?"
