Early in the morning on the 28th of the twelfth lunar month, Mei Berry’s Laba porridge was not cooked yet, and Mei Berry was still struggling under the covers.

Suddenly, the noise outside woke Mei Berry up.

Before she could get dressed, the sound of mourning, cursing, and scolding from the guards outside had joined together, causing everyone around to gather around Meiyou's house in shock.

Mei Berry hurriedly put on all her clothes and went out the door with her slippers on.

Standing in his yard, Mei Berry saw a group of official servants standing next door through the short wall.

There were three people standing behind the officer, crying with grief and indignation.

Agitated, they even crossed the official post, and were very unkind to Mei You's family of three standing in the yard.

"What are you doing?! What's the matter with you if the poor master hasn't spoken yet?!"

Mei Youqian, who rushed to Mei You's house first when he heard the movement, saw these people pretending to be tigers, and standing behind those yamen servants, he couldn't help but stood up and reprimanded them loudly.

As a result, just after Mei Youqian finished speaking, the guard also spoke, but instead of questioning the people behind him, they first scolded Mei Youqian for making such a fuss here, and then wanted to kick people.

If Mei You hadn't pulled Mei Youqian ahead of time, he might have been kicked by the opponent.

This time, Mei Youqian's eyes looked solemn.

"Captain Xing! Look! These people in their family are used to it. My mother-in-law was beaten to death by them just for stealing a fish! You must make decisions for us!"

"Who died?"

Now that everyone was watching, Mei Berry looked carefully before realizing that the crying middle-aged man was Aunt Ba's husband, Ba Ying?

"I didn't kill anyone." Mei You frowned, apparently feeling that things were a little tricky.

She looked at Baying and the pair of children behind him and asked, "Is Aunt Ba dead?"

"You, what are you pretending to be? It's obvious that you smashed my mother to death with frozen fish! It's because you and my mother couldn't get along at the market a few days ago. My mother was just trying to teach you a lesson, so I was beaten to death by you." Already!"

The two boys and girls had their eyes swollen from crying, and they looked at Mei You with hatred in their eyes. Obviously, neither the tone nor the expression of what they said seemed to be deliberately framed.

"I didn't kill anyone, but your mother did do something like steal a fish."

"You! I will fight with you!"

Excited by Mei You's words, Ba Xiong and Ba Yue were so angry that they rushed forward to fight Mei You.

In the end, several yamen servants stopped him.

These cadres had no patience to watch them bickering, or watch them perform full-scale martial arts.

After drinking to the end of the three members of the Ba family, they took out the shackles and tried to restrain Meiyou and take her away.

"Hey, hey, hey, no, no, no, sir. My niece has been slandered, why don't you just shackle her and watch her from the outside?"

After Mei Youqian finished speaking, he held down the manacled policeman, and stuffed a purse when he was unaware.

Feeling the solid feel of the heavy silver, the policeman who had been cold and solemn just now turned pale.

He squinted at Mei You and said again: "Forgive me, a little lady, you can't do anything, come with us."

Mei You narrowed her eyes and said nothing, but followed the police officers and them away.

Seeing this, Miao was crying so hard that she wanted to follow, and Mei Youcai helped Miao to go out as well.

Wei Meili just stood outside the crowd and did not squeeze in, but at this moment she grabbed Miao.

She looked at Mei Youqian and Mei Youcai, and said, "Go to Jiubaoxuan first, and tell someone about what happened this morning to ask for help. I will help my younger siblings to go to the county government."

As soon as Wei Meili reminded them, the three of them also split into two groups as if they had just woken up from a dream.

While paying attention to the development of things, look for rescuers.

Mei Berry just stood in her yard and witnessed everything.

When the matter was over, she turned her head and saw Tian Qi also lying on the small wall.

Without waiting for Tian Qi to say anything, Mei Berry opened her mouth and said: "Uncle Qi, stop stepping on the stool, you will be beaten again if Grandpa Xue sees you." "This matter is so serious, should I tell foster father?"

Tian Qi was lying on the wall without any intention of coming down after listening to Mei Bei's words. He tilted his head and said, "This thing looks so difficult to handle~"

"Yeah, it's really difficult. Then you will tell Grandpa Xue later, let him take it easy. Help us think about whether there is any way.

I'll go to the Yamen to have a look. "

Mei Berry went back to the house and changed again, put on a thick cloak to shield the wind, put on a veil, and finally Mei Berry stuck a blade in the waistband in a mysterious way.

It was made by the blacksmith in Mayutuo County after meeting the "pervert" in Yunzhou Fucheng, and it was reserved for her self-defense.

This case is suspicious.

Everyone in the neighborhood knew that Aunt Ba had a grudge against them, and Mei Bei reminded Meiyou to beware of Aunt Ba's mischief.

As a result, the other party played tricks.

Stealing fish is something the other party can do.

After all, her sister bought nine big fish last time, and she definitely couldn't finish them in the past few days.

It's freezing outside, it's a natural refrigerator, and it's possible for her sister to freeze the fish outside.

Even Mei Berry was surprised that Mei You meant fishing, deliberately provoking the other party to make mistakes, and then trampled him to death again.

But Mei Berry never expected that this person would die after stealing the fish himself.

Mei Berry's eyes sank.

This is someone who wants to use their grievances to kill Aunt Ba and plant it on her sister's head!

Realizing this, Mei Berry hurried to the county government office.

Probably because there hadn't been such a murder case in the county for a long time, and many people crowded the county government to watch the fun.

Mei Berry also tried her best to squeeze into the first row, her mother and third aunt were also stopped in the first row, and as soon as Mei Berry squeezed past, she heard a few words of cursing Mei You from her side.

Mei Bei glanced around and saw brothers and sisters Ba Xiong and Ba Yue.

Thinking of the brother and sister who repeatedly accused her sister and then gently exposed Aunt Ba for stealing fish, Mei Berry was disgusted to death by the two brothers.

Taking advantage of the crowd, Mei Berry raised her leg and kicked them, causing the siblings to fall to the ground.

With no swearing, the noise in Mei Berry's ears became much smaller, and finally she focused all her attention on the courtroom.

At the moment, there are only her sister, Ba Ying, and a corpse covered in a white cloth in the hall.

The county magistrate is a middle-aged man in his forties, surnamed Yang.

He pinched his neatly trimmed beard and listened to the arguments of both parties in the hall.

Baying means that there was a quarrel between neighbors, and then the conflict further intensified, and his mother-in-law was beaten to death by the other party for stealing fish.

The murder weapon was the frozen fish found next to his mother-in-law's body when she died, and the head of the fish was still covered with blood.

That frozen fish came from Mei You's family.

It sounds quite logical, there are "personal evidence" and "material evidence", but Mei You only asked if she killed someone with frozen fish, why would she throw the murder weapon of frozen fish on the ground?
Isn't this suspicious?
When she asked, Ba Ying's face changed slightly, and she shouted in a hurry: "Maybe you were nervous and afraid because you killed someone, so you left the frozen fish and ran away?"

"What are you saying to prove that I was scared and left the evidence of the frozen fish behind and ran away? I also said that there's no telling if Aunt Ba stole the fish and was targeted by someone."

The Meiyou family said they were neighbors across the wall from the Baying family, but in fact there was a small road between them.

Who knows what happened to Aunt Ba on the way after stealing the fish and then died?
After Meiyou finished speaking, she didn't care whether Ba Ying had anything to say later, she turned around and lifted the white cloth to look at Aunt Ba's unrepentant expression.

The eyes that had been gone for a long time were open, and there seemed to be fear and surprise on his face.

Maybe she didn't even think about why she was killed when she died...
