The best old woman is too fierce, stepping on her ex-husband and beating up her traitorous son!

Chapter 59 How did he die?

Everyone was shocked when they heard this.

Old Man Li frowned and asked hurriedly: "Boss, what's going on? Why did the government come to arrest you?"

Brother Li didn't bother to rest for a while and said quickly: "There is a family in the county who died. They said they were poisoned by using our stove and briquettes."

"What does that have to do with us?" Old Man Li asked, "Our stove will not poison people if it is placed in a ventilated place. Besides, charcoal can still poison people if it is placed in a closed space. No arrests were made. Charcoal merchant!"

"That's the reason. But now that family has gone to the county government to file a lawsuit, the county magistrate will have to hear the case and take his sister to court."

When Old Man Li heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief, "Then your sister is not a criminal. She was so startled that she scared me. That person's death was either caused by negligence or because someone killed someone for money."

"Xiaoyue, don't be afraid. When the officials come to summon you, I will go with you. As long as dad is here, no one can bully you. Our family is upright and we are not afraid of these crooked ways."

Li Xiaoyue was a little panicked just now, but after listening to Brother Li's narration, she relaxed a little.

"Changfu, go to my house and take the notice with the fingerprints on it. All the stoves bought from our house are numbered and have corresponding notices."

"No matter who bought the stove from us, they all know that the stove is poisonous when placed in the house, and we have fulfilled our responsibility to inform them. If something happens again, it will not have much to do with us."

Li Changlu groaned angrily. He was usually the sharpest talker among the five brothers, "That's right, you can choke to death when you drink water, and you can choke to death when you eat. Why don't you just eat and drink?"

"I think those people just want to blackmail people, mother, don't be afraid. Our magistrate of Lanshan County is quite honest, we will be fine."

"Yes!" Li Xiaoyue nodded with a serious expression, "Changfu will go to the court with me later, and Changlu will look after the house at home. As for Changshou, if we don't come back at night, go to the Dongshan Military Camp and ask if Mr. Gongsun is there? If so, please ask him to go to the Lanshan County Government Office."

"Yes, mother." Brother Li agreed.

Li Xiaoyue looked at the dejected and extremely angry people as if they were mourning for their heirs, "Don't worry, it will be fine. Everyone, send the money home, take a day off, and continue working tomorrow."

"Aunt Li, you have to be careful!"

"No, I want to follow him and have a look. If the county magistrate is stupid, we can go to the capital and file a complaint!"

"That's right, this stove is so easy to use. My wife said that cooking is much easier now than before. We no longer have to cook and light a fire and make it look dirty."

"Someone must have wronged us, Mrs. Li, and wants to extort money."

……

It’s hard to find a job that makes a lot of money and is close to home. Everyone cherishes it very much.

The Li family is generous, and the people in the village are worried about them.

About a stick of incense later, two officials came over on horseback.

Wang Captou dismounted and happened to see Old Man Li. He immediately stepped forward and saluted, "Uncle Li, the king's city is polite."

Once upon a time, Mr. Li saved him from a pile of dead people with a spear and was his savior.

Therefore, after learning that the defendant was Li Xiaoyue, the daughter of Old Man Li, Wang Cheng took the initiative to come over, not only to inform Old Man Li, but also to show respect.

Old Man Li handed over his hand and invited Wang Cheng and Zhao Si into the room to sit down. "Wang Cheng, my eldest son just came back. He couldn't explain clearly. Please tell me carefully from beginning to end. What is going on?"

Wang Cheng lowered his voice and replied in a low voice: "Uncle Li, something is a little strange. The stove was in the house, but the window was not closed, and the person died. The family sued Mrs. Li, saying that the Shinie briquettes were poisonous."

Old Man Li angrily rebuked, "This is obviously a false accusation. There are many people in the county who use my briquettes, and there is no problem. The windows are not closed, and they cannot close them just because they say they are not closed. Someone must have lied. This person is dead, Either he was sick, or he was killed by someone." Detective Wang nodded quickly, "Yes, the county magistrate asked us to invite Madam Li over just for questioning, and we will not convict easily. If nothing else, I have briquettes and briquettes at home. The stove is also used in the county magistrate’s house.”

"We all know, obviously it's not about the stuff, it's about the people."

Old Man Li breathed a sigh of relief, took out two taels of silver from his pocket, and gave it to Agent Wang and Agent Zhao, "It's a hard trip, take it to drink tea."

Detective Wang quickly waved his hand, "Uncle Li, don't do this. You saved my life. If I still take your money, am I still a human being?"

Inspector Zhao also nodded, "That is, if it weren't for Uncle Li, we wouldn't be able to guard the city gate. Even our county magistrate knew Uncle Li's identity and allowed us to treat him with courtesy."

"I'm really just asking Madam Li to come over and ask questions. I won't embarrass Madam Li. Don't worry, Uncle Li."

"Okay, I'll accompany Xiaoyue there." Old man Li drove the donkey cart himself, and Li Xiaoyue sat on it with a power fence on her head.

It's not that I'm afraid of people seeing me, but I'm afraid of being exposed to the sun.

I have finally whitened my skin, but I don’t want to get tanned anymore.

Arriving at the county seat, Li Xiaoyue, led by the police, went straight to the court.

Magistrate Tang is in his thirties this year. He is in the prime of life and wants to go further. He is quite diligent in government affairs on weekdays.

Magistrate Tang felt that what happened today was murder.

However, the family members of the deceased refused to admit it and insisted that they were poisoned by Shi Nie briquettes.

When Magistrate Tang learned that Li Xiaoyue had arrived, he immediately went to court again.

After some kowtows, Magistrate Tang asked: "Ms. Li, are the stoves and briquettes in the hall sold by your family?"

Li Xiaoyue's voice was clear, "Back to the county magistrate, these are indeed the stoves and briquettes sold by my family."

The eldest son of the Xu family pointed at Li Xiaoyue and cursed angrily, "It was obviously your Shinie briquettes that poisoned my wife, so you have to pay for my wife's life."

"Bang!" Magistrate Tang slapped the door on the wall and shouted angrily, "How can you be allowed to make noise in the court? The deceased was indeed poisoned, but it has nothing to do with the Li family stove and Shi Nie briquettes."

Boss Xu knelt on the ground and argued, "Shinie briquettes are originally poisonous, and the windows in my house are open, but my wife still died. We have just checked, and my wife was poisoned by Shinie."

Li Xiaoyue turned to look at Boss Xu, "If the windows of the house are open, the Shi Nie stove will not poison people even if it is placed in the house. In fact, Shi Nie, like charcoal, can only poison people in a closed space. "

"The windows of your house were open when the official arrived, but there is no guarantee that the windows would be open when your wife died."

"Now in Lanshan County, my family has sold a total of more than 200 briquette stoves. When every customer purchases, we will inform them and we have fulfilled our obligation to inform them."

"The weather is not cold at night now, and there is no need for a stove to heat the bedroom. Why does this lady have a briquette stove in her house? That's your lady. Where were you last night?"

Boss Xu replied viciously: "I was drinking with friends, and my wife was alone at home. She said it was a bit cold at night and asked me to carry the stove into the house. If I were at home, I might have been poisoned to death."

Li Xiaoyue turned to look at Magistrate Tang and asked, "May I ask Mr. Tang, could the deceased be incontinent?"

Magistrate Tang looked at Wuzuo not far away, "Zhang Wuzuo, is this the case?"

Everyone outside the venue was very nervous, hoping that Magistrate Tang could find the real murderer, reveal the truth to the deceased, and clear Mrs. Li's innocence.
