Splendid Pastoral: The system is against the sky

Chapter 85
"Oh? What's wrong?" The magistrate asked following the thoughts of the people.

"Half a year ago, Zhou Chengye passed the examination of Jingde Academy and entered the school with the top score, because his papers were checked by Caomin himself, and the top of the list was also checked by Caomin himself. Therefore, Caomin admired him very much. He has high hopes." The dean sighed, "Unfortunately, he hadn't studied in school for a full month before he had to drop out of school and return home because his father was beaten to death by people from an underground money shop and his mother was seriously ill. Retaining it will not help."

"Later, after many inquiries, the grassroots found out that Zhou Chengye's father, a man who had never gambled, was set up by a traitor and became addicted to gambling within two or three months. In the end, he lost his entire family. , and owed a huge debt of more than 50 taels of silver." The dean looked at Xiao Zhou sadly, "Later, Cao Min found out that he had found a long-term job in Detai Mihang, and Cao Min felt sorry for his talent and learning. .

"But just yesterday, Zhou Chengye suddenly approached Caomin, and said bluntly that the family's foreign debts had been paid off, and he also paid Caomin 45 taels of living expenses, and wanted to go back to school. Caomin thought that his poor life was not easy for ten years, so he It is agreed that he does not need to pass the assessment again, and after this month's vacation is over, he can come to the school directly to study."

Ming Yi immediately asked: "My lord, how could Zhou Chengye suddenly have a huge sum of more than 100 taels of silver? Isn't this suspicious? Who gave him the money?"

"This is the money I won in the casino!" Zhou Chengye said hastily.

"Casino? Which casino?"

"I, I can't remember..."

"Don't you have the best memory and photographic memory?" Ming Yi asked again.

"Jubao Casino!" Zhou Chengye called out the name of a casino casually, "This is the money I won at Jubao Casino!"

"Oh? Which blogger opened the bank for you? Are there any gamblers around you?"

"I have to meet so many gamblers on the first day of my blog, how can I remember me? Besides, I met those gamblers around me by accident, and it is impossible for them to remember me!"

"Then when did you go to the casino?"

"The day before yesterday!"

"Morning or afternoon the day before yesterday? What time?"

"I do not remember!"

"You have to say it!"

"The day before yesterday, the afternoon of the day before yesterday to apply for time!" Zhou Chengye argued.

"Really?" Ming Yi sneered, "There was a death in Jubao Casino the morning before yesterday, which caused the casino to be closed for rectification in the past two days. May I ask how did you gamble the money the afternoon before yesterday?"

"My memory is wrong! I went to Fugui Casino!" Zhou Chengye immediately changed his tune.

"Oh, I was lying to you!" Ming Yi looked at the county magistrate, "My lord, you are the one who knows the most. In the past two days, no one died in Jubao Casino, let alone the situation of closing down for rectification. Zhou Chengye's words didn't match what he said, which shows that he has a problem!"

"That's right! The afternoon before yesterday, he was with us all the time! We are all in the Mihang!" Xiao Liu from the Mihang shouted.

"Xiao Liu, don't spout blood!" Zhou Chengye shouted.

"So many of us are with you, will we all wrong you? That afternoon, Ah Qing took the little boss to the Shunchang Escort Bureau, and we returned to Mihang at the end of the day. After that, you never I've been out!" Xiao Liu outside the court continued.

"Yeah! You're lying!" Mi Hang's other guys also shouted.

"Zhou Chengye, there is physical evidence of 45 taels of silver before, and personal evidence of Detaimi Bank later, what else do you have to say?" Ming Yi asked.

Zhou Chengye fell silent, and could no longer quibble.

"Who bought you?" The county magistrate slapped the gavel and asked with a sullen face.

"It's the manager of Xueji Rice Bank." Zhou Chengye confessed honestly.

When the people outside the court heard this, there was an uproar.

"My God, as expected, all colleagues are deadly enemies! Could it be that Zhou Chengye poisoned all the rice in Detai Mihang? It must be because shopkeeper Xue wants to bring down Detai Mihang, so he deliberately bought murderers, right? "

"That's right! That little girl is innocent, we wrongly blamed her!"

"Shopkeeper Xue's heart is really too poisonous! This kind of person is not afraid of being struck by lightning, and Zhou Chengye was also abominable. He took money to harm people, and he was not afraid of going to the [-]th floor of hell!"

……

The wind immediately turned to Su Yaoxue's side, and no one proposed to behead her.

Zhou Chengye was so frightened that his legs went limp.

He knelt down and kowtowed to the county magistrate a few times: "My lord, please be enlightened! I just collected money and lied. I didn't poison the rice. I really dare not do such a thing!"

Once the county magistrate sentenced him to murder for money, let alone not being able to study, his head would be lost!

Now, he completely regretted it. Why did he frame the innocent little boss so obsessively?

He lost his humanity just for the sake of studying and getting his fame. He wanted to step on the corpse of Xiaodong's family and climb to a higher place. Unexpectedly, before he succeeded, life and death were hanging by a thread!He will never dare to do such a thing again!
Seeing Zhou Chengye's move, Xin's third son immediately said: "Good Zhou Chengye, you are the one who murdered us for money! You are the one who killed our relatives! My lord, such a person should be beheaded!"

Once Zhou Chengye opened this gap, they couldn't kill Su Yaoxue.

If Zhou Chengye is proved not to have poisoned, then Su Yaoxue will definitely be released in court because of his innocence.

If Zhou Chengye is proved to have poisoned the rice, then Su Yaoxue will definitely be ordered by the county magistrate to temporarily close the rice shop and suspend business for a month for rectification because of the unfavorable management.

Since he can't kill her, he can only charge some interest first.

Come to think of it, shopkeeper Xue wouldn't blame them too much!
When Ming Yiyi heard this, he sneered: "He killed your relatives? It's really funny for you to say that. What kind of plaintiffs are you? Even your identities are false! Witnesses in court!"

When Xin Laosan and the others heard this, they immediately panicked.

Boss Tong, the manager of the pawnshop, and two servants came in from outside the courtroom and saluted the county magistrate.

Boss Tong said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the county magistrate, the girls and boys, are the owners of the Fugui Casino in Qili Town. The plaintiffs in front of you and the people around the plaintiff are all regular customers in the Fugui Casino."

The shopkeeper of the pawnshop then said: "Lord county magistrate, grassroots Lu Yong, this is the ledger of usury owed by them to the pawnshop, please take a look at it, the debt they owe has been marked in red by the grassroots with a red pen."

A yamen servant stepped forward, took the ledger from the pawnshop shopkeeper, and presented it to the master.

The master sent the ledger to the county magistrate again.
