Splendid Pastoral: The system is against the sky

Chapter 82
"Xin Laosan, why do you say that you bought this rice from our Detai rice shop?" Su Yaoxue asked.

"Would other Mihang do this kind of self-defeating thing?"

"How do you prove that you came to our rice shop to buy rice yesterday?" Su Yaoxue asked again.

"Xiao Zhou, the employee of your Detai rice shop, can prove it!" Xin Lao San said, "Xiao Zhou was the person responsible for weighing the rice yesterday. You can ask him to go to court to testify for me."

Su Yaoxue looked at Xiao Zhou outside the courtroom, and the other employees of Detai Mihang also looked at Xiao Zhou in disbelief. They never expected that Xiao Zhou, who was usually the most taciturn in Limi's business, would become a traitor and want to Frame up the little boss who treats them so well!

It's simply a godsend!
"Xiao Zhou, aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning when you go to court to give false testimony?" Ah Qing asked angrily.

"Yes! Has your conscience been eaten by dogs?" Xiao Liu was also very angry.

Xiao Zhou pursed his lips, went to the court without saying a word, and after bowing to the magistrate, he didn't dare to look at Su Yaoxue: "My lord, I can prove that I met Mr. Xin, Chen Guilan, Duan A morning……"

"You have to see it clearly!" The county magistrate was very angry, "If you read it wrong, it will be perjury! False testimony is punishable!"

Xiao Zhou bit the bullet and raised his head, his eyes fell on the plaintiffs, and then he said firmly: "I saw everything clearly. I did see them yesterday when I was selling rice!"

"My lord, I don't accept it!" Su Yaoxue said again, "Detai Rice Bank sells 1000 catties of grain a day, and each person is limited to buy ten catties. Then, at least 1000 people will come to buy rice every day. My [-] catties of rice Then, can Xiao Zhou remember how many of the [-] people?"

"I can! I have a photographic memory!" Xiao Zhou said loudly.

"How do you prove that you have a photographic memory?" Su Yaoxue asked.

"It's up to you to take the test." Xiao Zhou gradually calmed down.

"Can you read?"

"Learn words." Xiao Zhou nodded, and because of his poor family, he had no money to continue studying, so he fell into the predicament of working in a shop.

"Well, magistrate, can you give him a page of the book? Show him the time of a cup of tea, and let him recite it backwards?" Su Yaoxue asked again.

"Yes!" The county magistrate nodded, and handed the pleading paper at hand to the master, "This is the pleading paper handed over by the lawyer when I heard the last case. When I give you a cup of tea, if you can pour it Back, then, I will believe your words!"

Xiao Zhou nodded and took the pleading paper.

Time passed by without any haste, but for those inside and outside the court, it was a kind of torment.

The folks at Detai Mihang and Su Yuanyuan breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that Su Yaoxue had the hope of making a comeback against the wind.

Looking at the words on the pleading paper from a distance, it was written densely and densely. Can Xiao Zhou recite the content on the pleading paper in a short time of a cup of tea?
It is really not easy to memorize a page of densely packed characters, let alone memorize them backwards?
Su Yaoxue didn't dare to take it lightly, she pursed her lips tightly, planning to see the trick first.

After the time for a cup of tea passed, Xiao Zhou handed the pleadings to the master, and the master presented the pleadings in front of the county magistrate.

The county magistrate held up the paper, and Xiao Zhou began to recite it backwards.

After memorizing it backwards, the county magistrate asked him to write it again in order to show justice, and posted it outside the court together with the pleadings.

The people outside the court were all shocked when they saw it.

"This kind of photographic memory is really unheard of!"

"Why do you still work in Mihang when you are so good? Could it be that you have no money to study? How pitiful!"

"If he can continue to study, I'm afraid our Qili Town will produce a champion in the future!"

……

Su Yaoxue pursed her lips, she did not expect the situation to be so difficult.

It seems that the reason why the person who wanted to harm her came to Xiao Zhou was premeditated.

As long as Xiao Zhou proves that he has a photographic memory, then his statement that he met the plaintiffs who came to buy rice yesterday will be absolutely convincing.

So, where is the breakthrough?

She took a deep breath, forced herself to calm down, and said: "My lord, in short, it is absolutely impossible for me to poison the rice. I think it is a conspiracy! Although I have no evidence now, It proves that Xiao Zhou was bribed. However, the plaintiff and others said that they were all victims, and their mother, brother-in-law, and son were poisoned to death... So, is this really the case?"

"How?" asked the magistrate.

"If this is really a conspiracy against Detaimi by people with ulterior motives, then I have reason to suspect that these deceased are not their relatives at all! Or, the household registration they reported is also false!"

When the plaintiffs heard this, they immediately shouted loudly.

"You are talking nonsense. I am from Shanghe Village. The county magistrate can send someone to the village to find some villagers and go to court to testify for me and my dead mother!"

"I'm from Xiaofeng Village, and my lord can ask the government servants to find some villagers in the village to testify for me and my dead brother and sister-in-law!"

"I'm from Daohua Village, please send the yamen servants to the village to ask for witnesses!"

……

The county magistrate felt a little flustered, and for a while, he didn't know what to do.

Outside the courtroom, among the onlookers, there was one person who was the trustee of the money that shopkeeper Xue had given in advance, and he shouted angrily: "Please witness!"

Then, the other common people were affected and shouted in unison.

"Witnesses please!"

"Witnesses please!"

"Witnesses please!"

……

The county magistrate had no choice but to draw a stick out of the stick and threw it out: "Huang Ping, Zhao Li, Qiu Dehai...you should go to Shanghe Village, Xiaofeng Village, Daohua Village, Xiaoli Village, and Xinyang Village as soon as possible, and bring some The villagers come to the court to testify!"

"Yes!" The five yamen servants took a step forward, cupped their hands, and then ran out of the courtroom quickly.

Unexpectedly, before they left the gate of the county seat, they were stopped by a man in gray clothes.

"Masters, where are you going?" the man in gray asked.

"Steward Liu, we are ordered by the county magistrate to go to several villages and bring some villagers to the court to testify for the plaintiff." Huang Ping said politely, butler Liu is the housekeeper of the county magistrate's family, and they must give some points Face, otherwise, it is not giving the magistrate the county magistrate any face.

"Oh," Liu Butler nodded, untied his bulging wallets, and began to stuff money into the hands of the yamen servants, "Five taels of silver per person, you can get things done with the money."

"Do...what are you doing?" Huang Ping asked a little uneasy.

"In a while, I will take you to a place where there are some people we have prepared. You take these people to the court and say that they are the villagers you brought from the village and can testify to the plaintiff and others."
