Blessed girl from heaven: take the system to farm

Chapter 8 Witness
"Oh, my lord, I am an old man in your family. I have always been honest and responsible. How could I lie? Everything I said is true. They are the spring bamboo shoots they sold to me." The cook looked at the official. The fingering instrument of torture came in front of her, and she lay down on the ground and began to howl.

"I'm wronged, we are not the ones who poisoned, please be careful!" Mingyue glanced at the cook, and with a groan, she took out a powerful and powerful battle.

Her voice was really caught off guard.

The lady trembled in fright.

The cook was so frightened that her dry howl got stuck in her throat, and she froze on the spot, not knowing what lines she should say next.

The county magistrate was so frightened that he jumped up from his chair. He took a second to rearrange his appearance and then pointed at Mingyue angrily, "Come here, torture me! How dare you make trouble in the courtroom and give me a slap in the face!" Hit hard!"

"Wait a minute!" At this moment, a refined monk stepped forward from outside the court.

He walked up to the courtroom, first raised his palm and recited a Buddhist saying, then pointed to the cook and said, "She's lying, I gave her the spring bamboo shoots this morning. I just went down the mountain this morning to pick them up, and saw Benefactor Ming and their mountain products are fresh, so I begged her to sell them all to me. Benefactor Ming originally disagreed, because she accepted the reservation from the adults yesterday, but I told her that our Wanfu Temple has distinguished guests today, and the distinguished guests like to eat these , she just sold their three baskets of spring bamboo shoots and twenty catties of yams to me, and finally I followed her to your back door to explain to the cook, and gave her a spring bamboo shoot."

The cook turned her head and glared at the monk, "Who are you? I've never seen you before, how dare a monk come out and slander me?"

She thought to herself, you dead monk, why don't you go back to the temple as soon as you buy something, here you are nostalgic for the world of mortals, and you are not afraid of being struck by lightning.

The county magistrate slapped the gavel, "Evil woman, shut up for me!"

The lady sitting on the side had already got up and came to the monk, bowed slightly and saluted, "Master Miaoyuan, you are polite!"

Miao Yuan stood up with one hand in return, "Mrs. Mu, be polite!"

The mother-in-law of the back cook has little knowledge, but Mrs. Mu knows that although this is a small town on the western border, although the general Dingxi who is stationed in the west usually does not come here very often in Anyuan City, he does it every spring and autumn. They will all come to Wanfu Temple to live for a period of time, so that it is convenient to discuss scriptures and Taoism with this master Miaoyuan. It is presumed that this general is currently serving in Wanfu Temple in trance!Therefore, she was very respectful to Miaoyuan, and after hearing Miaoyuan's words, she secretly gave the county magistrate a wink, telling him not to make this matter a big deal. It is good to govern the town and the people in peace.

Miaoyuan turned around and pointed at the melon-eating crowd behind him, "It's not that the poor monk is talking nonsense. They all saw it when the benefactor Ming sold it to the poor monk. They are all witnesses. Some of them bought pheasants from the benefactor Ming at that time. Some people bought yams from her, but in the end most of the yams were sold to the poor monk, but only the poor monk came to the back door of the expensive house to explain to the benefactor. In order to prove what the poor monk said, the poor monk took A bamboo shoot came over to explain, and after explaining, I gave the bamboo shoot to the cook."

The cook was still trying to quibble, but the county magistrate gave her a look, and the two officials immediately stopped her mouth.

Miaoyuan looked at Mrs. Mu and said, "May I ask what kind of poison Mr. Ling has?"

Mrs. Mu wiped her tears with a handkerchief and said, "It's an excessive amount of arsenic. It was discovered in time, and a lot of it was induced to vomit, but the person was still unconscious."

Miaoyuan smiled slightly, "Ma'am, arsenic is not completely soluble in water. Even if someone put poison on spring bamboo shoots, doesn't your cook not peel or wash the vegetables? This is excessive. Arsenic..."

That's all Miaoyuan said.

But Mrs. Mu has already understood that the poison has nothing to do with the vegetable seller, it seems that her family is restless.

The magistrate of the county also understood that since it was private in the back house, the ugliness of the family should not be publicized, so he slapped the gavel and immediately pronounced the sentence, "Mingyue and her family are innocent and released in court. The prison is waiting for you."

Sitting on the ox cart going back, Miaoyuan asked Mingyue, "Master Ming, so you asked Li Da to inform me yesterday that going down the mountain to buy mountain products turned out to kill two birds with one stone?"

Mingyue waved her hand, "It's not all. I just saw that cook's unkind face yesterday, but I'm a poor man and I can't refuse the purchase from the county magistrate's family, so I thought of you. Didn't my mother often go to add sesame oil money to you when she was alive?" Well, she has a very good relationship with you, so if I am in trouble now, I will ask you to come down the mountain and do a little favor."

Miaoyuan squinted his eyes and looked at Mingyue, why didn't he believe this at all!Do me a favor and find all sorts of excuses to keep him in town for lunch?

In fact, Mingyue didn't have much memory of the original owner. Except for the people in this village, Miaoyuan was the only one. That's because Miaoyuan would come to Wang's Village every spring and autumn to buy herbs from the original owner. Mingyue is nonsense about the fact that her mother added sesame oil and money to the temple, but she believes that according to the information she has received in the past few days, the original owner's mother will do that too, so she is really right, and Miaoyuan has nothing to say to her. There is no objection.

Brother Wang sent Miaoyuan back to the temple first.

Mingyue asked two younger uncles to help Miaoyuan send the mountain goods to the kitchen of the temple before they left and returned to the village.

Mingyue praised Xiaomeng very much in the car.

"Xiaomeng, thanks to you monitoring the conspiracy of the county magistrate's aunt yesterday, thank you for saving us, I will increase the amount of exercise from tomorrow, and I will guarantee you to store more energy."

Xiaomeng is very modest, "Where, the master is still smart, if you hadn't sent someone to find a very good person early in the morning, and you had so many people to buy vegetables early in the morning, this time the matter would not be so easy to solve. "

From the bottom of her heart, Mingyue secretly wrote a sum of money to Li Da in the love book, and at the same time added a new person to the small book - Miao Yuan.

Brother Wang was driving the ox cart, the more he thought about it, the more confused he became. It turns out that when Mingyue girl arrived in the town, she went to the market instead of the government office first, and sold all the mountain goods to Miaoyuan in front of everyone. Is there a reason for this?But how did she know that the magistrate's son would be poisoned at noon?
The backyard of the county magistrate's house was in dire straits.

Mrs. Mu has been in poor health, and it was Aunt Wang, the noble concubine, who was taking care of the inner house for her.

Aunt Wang is the concubine's cousin of Mrs. Mu's distant branch. Back then, Mrs. Mu's stepmother ordered Aunt Wang to help her because Mrs. Mu was in poor health. She has always relied on her all these years.

At this moment, Mrs. Mu was out of breath with anger, and the nurse next to her gave her comfort with a worried face, but she didn't dare to say a word, and everyone who had a wink closed their eyes tightly at this moment mouth, afraid that he would become the fish in the pond that got hurt.

Mrs. Mu pointed at the servants who were kneeling on the ground, panting and angrily reprimanded: "Okay, you guys are about to turn the world upside down!"

Aunt Wang pretentiously took a step forward, "Sister, you are not in good health, go back and rest first, leave this matter to me, and I will definitely find out for you."

Now that such a big thing has happened, Mrs. Mu will not continue to trust Aunt Wang even if she is innocent. What's more, the people who grew up in the back house of our big family are not mean-spirited. She was just credulous before. Forget it, she slapped the table angrily and said: "Kneel down! Leave it to you? Do I think Da Lang's life is too long? How can someone sneak in and poison such an important place as the kitchen? You still have the face to continue." Housekeeper? Come, someone, lock Aunt Wang into the firewood room, and drag that slanderous cook to me, elder sister, go and take someone to search the house of the two of them for your mother."

The eldest sister is Mrs. Mu's eldest daughter, she is 16 years old, and she is smart.She took orders.

At this time, Aunt Wang's son and daughter knelt down on the ground crying, begging Mrs. Mu repeatedly, but seeing that she was just panting and ignoring them, they hurriedly kneeled in front of the county magistrate and begged, "Father, you can't let me go!" My mother is locked up, she is also very weak, how can she be sick in the woodshed?"

When the county magistrate saw that Aunt Wang was about to be dragged away, he had a look of reluctance and distress, but he didn't dare to speak out against his wife's anger. He could only look at the two concubine children pityingly, "Listen to your mother's words." arrange!"

The county magistrate's surname is Zhang, and he was able to obtain such a small county magistrate by relying on the relationship of the Yue family, so the ability... It is impossible to say that there is no such thing, but if you have great talent, you don't have to rely on the Yue family.

After searching until night, the backyard of the county magistrate's house was turned upside down, and no evidence against Aunt Wang was found. Mrs. Mu was still angry and resentful, and did not let her out.

They found 100 taels of silver from the cook's room, and there were marks on the silver, so the cook concealed the truth, but Mrs. Mu did not execute her. Mrs. Mu always felt that such a big thing was not because of A moment of greed has the courage to do it.

However, the cook hanged herself in the dark dungeon, committed suicide in fear of crime, and died.

After hearing these things Xiaomeng told herself, Mingyue put down the bowls and chopsticks lightly, and she said to Mu Yunkai and the others: "Eat slowly, I will go to the village chief and call everyone to pay back the money owed to them in public. After all, we didn’t have an IOU when we borrowed the money back then, so we need everyone to be a witness together so as not to make mistakes.”

Watching Mingyue go away, Mu Yunhe excitedly told his mother and elder brother what happened today.

Mu Yuntian was also very excited, "Mother, brother, not only did our family pay back the money from the villagers, my sister-in-law also made a lot of extra money with yams today, and bought seeds and farm tools, so we don't have to worry about going hungry in the future. "

After hearing this, Mrs. Mu and Mu Yunkai narrowed their deep eyes together.

What Mu Yunkai thought was: I didn't expect the lady to be so powerful. If she marches and fights, she can be a military adviser, so she must be taken care of.

Old lady Mu had a lot of thoughts, but she felt that she had to be wary of Mingyue...
