Blessed wife descends from heaven

Chapter 108

As the old saying goes, there are people in the court who are easy to handle.Zhang Mantun entered the yamen, happened to run into the head catcher who had returned from his trip, asked why, and then said a few more words when he invited the county magistrate.

The county magistrate's expression is also not good at the moment, the county magistrate was already upset by an incident in the Shi family.He wished that nothing had happened during this time, but now something happened to kill him.

Hearing Zhang Ji's name again, his heart skipped a beat, but it must not be the stupid thing done by his father-in-law who can't see clearly.

As for Zhang Ji, he really knows now.Not to mention that he has a good reputation among scholars, even the village elders and Li Zheng, who often come to the yamen to do business, would say a few words.Of course, he knew most about Zhang Ji's affairs through his own mother-in-law and father-in-law.

In order for him to put pressure on Zhang Ji, his mother-in-law didn't blow the pillow wind once or twice.Even the old father-in-law gave up his face and came to him several times to ask him to help with Zhang Ji.

If it was before, he might turn a blind eye and let them make trouble.But what time is it now, the county magistrate was sent by the superiors, and he is also one of the best in the capital.Although he is a military commander, he is someone who cannot rub the sand in his eyes.

Also, when he went back to the barracks to look for the magistrate, the soldier muttered and delayed the words that the magistrate was trying to find a place for his daughter. He didn't know why.Later, after inquiring, I realized that several forces in the capital had come, and they meant to occupy Taoxi County temporarily.

He searched for a long time, but he couldn't find out who the person was.But just because he couldn't find out all the time, he was more cautious and respectful in his heart.Thinking that he has been in Taoxi County for many years, but he can't ask anything, it can be seen that the background of the visitor is probably higher than that of the county magistrate.

Thinking about it this way, how dare he make mistakes.He is fair and honest, and he does not dare to bend the law for personal gain.Some people even dare not go to dinner when they invite them, and they dare not even advertise a banquet for their birthdays.I'm afraid of being caught by others, not being able to get promoted is the second thing, and if you offend the nobles and leave a bad impression, then the gain will outweigh the loss.

After thinking about it, how dare he release water?His own life lawsuit had a bad impact on his performance appraisal, and it happened when the big shots came.He has been staring at the county magistrate's seat for many years, and he has finally survived until now. It seems that this person will be transferred to another place soon. If it is because of Zhang's life, it will be bad. .

Just like that, he didn't dare to slack off in the slightest after going to court, and immediately put on a fair and strict upright official appearance.

In the lobby, the gavel sounded, and a group of guards shouted majesticly from the left and right. This battle did not scare Zhang Mandun, but made Fatty Chen and the mourning lady shiver and start to have stage fright.

They wanted to extort money. Anyway, the dead man was also a sick child. In addition, his parents were gone. If he had any brothers to support him, he would die if he died.He also thought so, so Fatty Chen found the little lady to make trouble, and the two hit it off. 100 taels of silver, not to mention killing a sick person who can die at any time, even killing a healthy one, she can be ruthless.

You know, with 100 taels of silver, where can she not buy a house and fields and become a rich household?At that time, why isn't it better than guarding a dilapidated village?
Of course, Fatty Chen thought so too.The two wolf-hearted things, after a little thought, used this trick.

But the two of them thought well, but they didn't want Zhang Ji and his wife to be hard bones with teeth grinding, and they didn't give them a chance to make trouble anymore, so they went straight through the Yamen.

In fact, until now, Fatty Chen couldn't recover.Isn't it said that those who run a shop and do business are most afraid of ruffians and scoundrels, for the sake of reputation and face, they will always pay money to get rid of things.Why did they meet a different family? If they had known this, let alone giving money, even if they gave gold, they wouldn't cause trouble.

Looking at the situation in front of me, things can't be better now.I'm afraid that the county magistrate will make them pay for their lives if they continue to investigate.

Originally, I was afraid that the magistrates of the county magistrate would each hit [-] big boards to stand up, but now in order not to leave an impression of absurdity and incompetence on the nobleman.With a natural and correct attitude, he did not dare to slack off in the slightest while questioning and handling the case.

After asking the ins and outs, the magistrate of the county magistrate asked someone to call the magistrate of the magistrate to come for the autopsy.

Speaking of which, for many years, Taoxi County has not had a life lawsuit.Therefore, the job of the county government office is also idle work, and when you get off work on weekdays, when you enter the government office, you are looking for people and bragging.Most of the time, it is to help check the chickens of the owner and the dogs of the west.In fact, even looking at the carcasses of livestock is just a few casual words from him.

Anyway, no matter how much he doubted the professionalism and character of the author, he brought something to the lobby at this moment.The surname is Liu, with a square face and a vicissitudes of life. He looks like he is about 50 or [-] years old.But just looking at his appearance, you can tell that this person is not honest, at least he must be an old fritter in the officialdom, the kind who is not slippery.

When Liu Yu made it to the lobby, he saw that there were corpses in the hall, as well as the bitter master and Zhang Ji who were in charge of the family, and he immediately had a score in his heart.He knelt down first, and then asked: "My lord, is there a need for an autopsy to pass the villain to court?"

The county magistrate nodded, pointed to the corpse on the ground, and said, "Take a look at the cause of death of the deceased in the hall, and look carefully, don't miss it."

When they saw Liu Yuzuo, for some reason, the faces of Fatty Chen and the little lady who were kneeling and shivering suddenly improved a lot.The two even looked at each other secretly, as if they suddenly gained confidence.

Zhang Mandun was close to them, and he had been observing a few people, so he could clearly see this little trick.He squinted his eyes and didn't say anything, but lowered his head and waited for Liu Yu to speak.

It was just such a short time, and he was already thinking secretly in his heart.If Liu Yuzuo determined that the person died of Zhang Ji's tea, it means that he was also bribed.In this way, there must be someone behind Fatty Chen and the others who wants to kill Zhang Ke.

He recalled a little bit that there were many hilltops who had feuded with him back then, but because of the northern war in these years, many hilltops were directly destroyed by the court.The rest of the fish that slipped through the net did not make a difference.And in the business field, those who can have a grudge with Zhang Ji and are good at using insidious means to destroy people, after all, Zhou Ji's family is the only one who thinks about it.

You know, he had heard a lot about Zhou Ji when he was working in the Escort Bureau.However, due to the fact that Zhou Ji's master is the father-in-law of the county magistrate, the merchants who have suffered a secret loss also consider themselves unlucky, and no one has ever argued for reason.

Thinking of this, Zhang Mandun couldn't help frowning.Glancing quietly at the stern-faced Lord Xiancheng, he made up his mind that he should not be impulsive and impatient when he still doesn't know what the attitude of the county magistrate is.

He's a rough man who hasn't read a book, but that doesn't prove that he's reckless and has no heart or brain.After pulling the mountain for so many years, there are still so many brothers who are willing to work for him. Apart from his own boxing skills, he must not be a fool.

The foreman inspected the corpse carefully, paused for a moment, and then replied: "My lord, this person seems to have eaten something bad, which caused diarrhea, and finally he couldn't bear the dehydration and died."

As soon as the words were said, the little lady who had been overwhelmed by defeat just now burst into tears, threw herself on the corpse and cried, "My man only drank Zhang Ji's tea before he died, and never ate anything else. The old man is clearly aware that he must be the master of the concubine. The man in the concubine is wronged. The concubine has persuaded him a long time ago that Zhang Ji’s tea can kill people, but he just doesn’t believe it. Now he leaves the concubine as a widow. But how do you get on with it?"

Tears were pouring down, and the little lady was quite pretty, which made people feel embarrassed.Many of the onlookers began to sympathize, and then condemned Zhang Ji.

Zhang Ji's food is not expensive, but the tea is not cheap, even if it is crude tea.Most of the onlookers had never bought it, but this did not prevent them from yelling at Zhang Ji as a black-hearted shop, and some even wanted to smash the shop eager to try.

Naturally, it is impossible for Zhang Mantun to plead guilty. This kind of clumsy secret method is really a bit embarrassing.Even the county magistrate was a little speechless, and looked at Liu Wuzuo with some doubts.

Many others don't know, but he knows it well. Liu Yuzuo said it was his work, and it's okay to ask him to inspect a trauma or something, but it's really arrogant to say that he died after eating something bad after just a few glances. out of his reach.

Not to mention anything else, even when he was waiting for the transfer order in Zhoucheng, he had seen Prince Rui's judgment on the case, and it took a lot of effort to investigate the hidden injuries of the deceased as for the work that came from the capital.Is it possible that the butcher who hasn't seen a dead body in my yamen for more than ten years can be so capable that the direct salesman can tell the cause of death at a glance, and he also speaks logically?
But after all, there is only this one Zuo Zuo now, and the county magistrate asked again and again, only listening to Liu Yuzuo gritted his teeth and reassured him again and again.However, Zhang Mandun insisted that there was something wrong with Zhang Ji's tea. After this, it fell into a stalemate. In the end, the county magistrate had to put Zhang Mandun in prison first.People stared at the sufferer again, and then withdrew.

It seems that overnight, Zhang Ji, who was praised and envied by everyone before, has become the target of public criticism.Those who made things worse, or those who were jealous of Zhang Ji's prosperous business, spread rumors about Zhang Ji even more.In the end, the more he said, the more evil he became, wishing to pin all the evil things in the world to Zhang Ji.

Not to mention that the business of the shops in the town has plummeted, even the workshops in the village have been affected.

Since the rumors spread, many people turned against each other, and two daughters-in-law who worked in Zhang Ji scolded Zhang Ji for being unkind.Not only let them do coolies, but also used the magic method to make the tea taste delicious.
