170 Chapter 2 Big trouble [-]
Those who were kneeling below were all arrested on the spot when they spoke ill of Chen Xingyan.
They wanted to say that they had heard it from others, so the county magistrate naturally had to ask who he heard it from.

In the end, all the spearheads were pointed at two people, one was the old lady of Lujia Village, who was Lu Daxiong's own grandmother, and the other was Lu Xinghua of Jiangjia Village.

As for the few people in the town, they were recruited by a servant of the Liu family.

While these people were explaining, Chen Xingyan noticed that the figure outside also slipped away quietly.

Chen Xingyan curled her lips slightly. If she guessed correctly, then the girl who stood outside to inquire about the news just now should be the girl who went to Lujia Village with Fan Xinlian last time.

Sure enough, Fan Xinlian instigated this matter.

Mrs. Lu and Lu Xinghua were called to the lobby respectively.

When Mrs. Lu saw that her own grandson was there, she knelt down and started crying. She kept yelling that her grandson and grandson-in-law were unfilial, and repeatedly said that they insulted her as an old woman.

The county magistrate's gavel is not a decoration, and this is not Lu's Village, no one listens to her!
The village chief also stood up at this time, "Master, this Lu Daxiong has been adopted since 11 years ago, and now these two are Lu Daxiong's parents. According to the laws of our Dazhi, Lu Daxiong will fulfill his filial piety in the future. It should only be filial piety to the two of them. And it was this aunt who insisted on sending Lu Daxiong out back then, and the villain has the records of the clan to check."

The county magistrate nodded, he naturally knew about Lu Daxiong's affairs clearly.

"That's enough! I think you are old, so I'll spare you the crime of disturbing the court. Now I ask you, why do you want to slander Chen's innocence? You are also a woman, so you know how important this woman's reputation is. Since you You are also from Lujia Village, and you also claim to be Chen's mother-in-law's grandmother, why is this so? Your preface and postscript are contradictory, which is obviously unbelievable!"

Mrs. Lu turned pale when he frightened her like this.

Lu Xinghua lowered her head, trembling all over.

When that person came to him, he didn't say that he would go to court!

I don't know if I will be beaten in a while, or I will be sentenced to jail.

Mrs. Lu was asked again, her eyes rolled for a long time before she said: "My lord, I also heard it from others, otherwise how could I say that about my granddaughter-in-law? Besides, my lord, they are juniors, so To sue an elder, do I have to hit the board first? Can I sue them for being unfilial?"

Tsk, it's been a while, and I'm still thinking about this!
The county magistrate angrily said: "Presumptuous! You two are the masterminds of the confession made by these people on the side, not the object of the previous accusation by Lu Daxiong and his wife. Besides, he is no longer a member of your family, so naturally there is no need to complain about it." You are filial, old man, you'd better pay attention to what you say."

Mrs. Lu's eyes were a little disappointed, but she didn't dare to make trouble anymore.

"My lord, I really heard people say, oh, this is my eldest daughter, I heard her say that Mrs. Chen herself was not upright, and that she was not innocent long before she married Da Xiong gone."

Lu Xinghua's face turned pale, mother!

Selling her at this time, what can she do?
The magistrate's attention naturally shifted to Lu Xinghua.

"Mr. Lu, do you agree with what the old man said just now?"

"Return to the adults, the villain will admit it. But the villain is also telling the truth."

"Hmph, Mrs. Lu, as far as I know, you have been married for more than [-] years, and you have not been back to Lu's Village many times in recent years, and you have not met Chen's a few times. How do you know something about Mrs. Chen? Private matter?"

Lu Xinghua was dumbfounded, and stayed for a while before saying: "My lord, please forgive me, I also heard from others. I, I am not familiar with Mrs. Chen, and she is not from the local area. How would I know her nonsense."

"Watch your words!"

The gavel cracked again.

Lu Xinghua was shaking all over.

At the same time, Fan Mansion.

After hearing the servant's report, Fan Xinlian frowned slightly and said, "Did you hear with your own ears that they confessed Lu Xinghua?"

"Yes, Miss, as soon as the servant heard that the lord was going to escort Lu Xinghua to court, he hurried back to report."

"Well, have you ever mentioned to her that you are a maid in Fan's mansion?"

"Miss, don't worry, the servant didn't mention anything, and that woman is also a master who only recognizes money but not people. At that time, she took the money happily, and the servant was wearing a veil, so she couldn't recognize the servant."

Fan Xinlian was relieved at this moment, but after a while, she became a little annoyed.

"It was a waste of my layout, but this Chen Xingyan found a way to crack it. If I miss this time, it will be difficult to target her next time."

"Miss, don't worry, the days will be long."

I don't know if Fan Xinlian listened to it or not, but she was in a bad mood anyway.

In the courtroom, Lu Xinghua explained everything clearly.

"Say! How much benefit have you received from the other party?"

Things have come to this, Lu Xinghua didn't want to go to jail, so she reported one by one: "The woman took 30 taels of silver from the other party twice, and the woman was not willing to spend it, and now she is hiding at home."

She hadn't finished speaking here when an old woman was heard angrily saying in the corner: "You Lu Xinghua, you dare to hide money privately, you are going against the sky!"

The one who scolded her was her mother-in-law.

Chen Xingyan didn't pay much attention to this, but turned his head and said: "My lord, this matter is already clear. Someone deliberately targeted the women. Please investigate clearly so that the women can be cleared."

The county magistrate was also a bit tangled at this time, after all, Lu Xinghua only said that the person was a woman, and didn't know anything else.

"Mr. Lu, I'm going to give you another chance. Think about it carefully. What's so special about the person who promised you money? Also, do you know which family she is from?"

Lu Xinghua was stunned for a moment: "My lord, the first time I saw her was in Qingshui Town, that day I had just quarreled with Lu Youcai in the shop, and then she chased me and said A few words. But then she promised me money, and I was worried about getting myself into trouble, so I quietly followed her all the way and saw her enter the mayor's house."

Finished!

The mayor who came with him was also a little confused at the moment.

Why did you bring his family into it?
"you sure?"

"I'm sure, but when I sent the news to her later, a little girl at the back door of the mayor's house said that the man had left, he was from the county, not from the town, and asked me to go again in a few days Find her."

Knowing so much, the clues are already very clear.

At this time, the mayor also realized that the girl should be the person next to Fan Xinlian.

How could the county magistrate not think of things he could think of?

"Come on, go to Fan Manor and bring Fan Xinlian and her maid!"
