Splendid Pastoral: Space farmers are good for farming

Chapter 240 I Testify

Seeing that Qi Yongcai seemed to be really driven to the extreme, Ji Jiao even made such an oath, but some people would do anything just to survive, just like shopkeeper Qu and Li Sheng, one can hide in the kang cave Avoiding searches, the other can poison people, kill people to silence...

Thinking of Li Sheng's poisoning, her heart suddenly skipped a beat. She felt that the poisoning symptoms of her brother-in-law and others were so similar to the shopkeeper Qu who was poisoned to death by Li Sheng?He just happened to buy the same poison as Li Sheng from the person who poisoned his own house, or...

She was flustered by this thought, but she calmed down and asked Qi Yongcai again, saying, "If you say you didn't enter my yard, can anyone testify? For example, someone saw that you really came from my gate Did you leave, did not come into the courtyard."

Qi Yongcai thought for a while and said, "Well, there is! I remembered, after I came to your door, your stepmother Fang has been walking in the yard, and she almost missed me when she went out. I also asked her about Shan Xing, but she scolded her, she went back to her house, Xiao Laiwang came out, threatened me again, and then I left, so I never entered your yard! "

"Fang's?!" Kikyo was shocked again, but after all, Fang's was involved.

She asked again: "Then how long have you seen Fang walking in the courtyard? What has she been doing?"

"She's here, she's here..." Qi Yongcai's eyes lit up suddenly, and he said, "Oh, I remembered, when I came, she was by the well! She was sneaking around there, not knowing what she was doing, and then panicked. Zhang ran away from the well and almost missed me when she went out. When she saw me, her face turned pale with fright, and she talked to me in a strange way. It was her, she must have poisoned me! It wasn't me!"

The Fang family didn't take it lightly when they caught the mountain last time, so Ma Xingren knew who she was. Hearing what Qi Yongcai said, he turned his head to look at the platycodon, and said, "If what he said is true, your stepmother Fang's suspicion It's not too small, do you want to call and ask?"

Kikyo said: "Of course I have to ask, isn't your lord reporting to judge the case, then you have to ask whoever is involved!"

Ma Xingren said to Chen Tiecheng: "Go, send Qiao Fang."

Chen Tiecheng thought that Fang, as Qiao's family member, would definitely come to watch such a public trial, but after standing in front of the crowd and yelling for a long time, Fang did not agree, so he had to go to Qiao Mantun's house to look for it.

When he came, Qiao Mantun had already returned home one step ahead of schedule.He had been watching the interrogation process. He didn't believe it when he heard Qi Yongcai say that he saw Mrs. Fang in the Campanulaceae yard, but then the more he heard it, the more startled he became, and then he suddenly felt that something was wrong with Mrs. Fang these days. I always thought that she was in an abnormal mood because Dashan was arrested, but after thinking about it, she didn't say a word about asking herself to find a way to beg Dashan in the past few days.

When Chen Tiecheng came, he was pressing Fang: "Tell me, did you inject the poison in the bucket! Why do you want to harm people?!"

After Qi Yongcai was escorted, Mrs. Fang also listened at the door. When she heard that Ma Xingren wanted to summon her, she ran into the house in fright. Seeing that Qiao Mandun came to ask herself first, she insisted: "No, it's nothing ,! That person surnamed Qi is wronging me..."

They were arguing here, when Chen Tiecheng came in and said, "What are you talking about here, you have to ask the adults to ask, come on, come and interrogate with me!"

Fang was so frightened that she was almost paralyzed, she waved her hands in panic, and said, "No, I won't go! It's none of my business, why should I go to court..."

But Chen Tiecheng couldn't help her, he came over and grabbed her hand, pulled her and walked outside.

Fang was dragged staggeringly all the way to the yard of Jujiao's house. Chen Tiecheng shook her hand, and she knelt down in front of Ma Xingren's table with a thud.

Ma Xingren asked routinely: "Are you Qiao Fang's stepmother, Qiao Jigeng?"

Fang was so frightened that she was about to cry, and said: "Yes, it's me, my lord, you know me! My lord, I didn't poison you, I really didn't poison you, I'm a good person, don't listen to this surname Qi wronging me! !"

Ma Xingren snorted coldly: "Hmph, is it wrong? You don't count if you say it yourself. You will know it only after the official has done it! Tell me, what did you do that day?"

"me……"

Fang's eyes fluttered a few times, and he waved his hands and said, "No, no! I didn't come here yesterday at all, he's talking nonsense!"

"Haven't been here?" Ma Xingren turned his gaze to Qi Yongcai again, and said, "She said she hasn't been here, how do you explain?"

Qi Yongcai pointed at Fang and said, "She's lying, she's here, I saw it with my own eyes when I first arrived at the door!"

Ma Xingren couldn't tell the truth from the fake, so he asked Ji Jiao again, "Xianggu, did you see your stepmother in the yard yesterday?"

Kikyo shook his head, since he wanted to find out the truth, he couldn't just gossip about it.But if I didn't see it, it didn't mean others didn't see it either, so Yu turned around and asked Kidney Dou, "Wu'er, you often run outside, but have you seen Mrs. Fang come?"

Kidney Dou didn't even think of talking nonsense, so he shook his head and said, "I didn't see it."

Fang suddenly became excited, pointed to the platycodon and kidney beans and said to Ma Xingren: "Look, no one else saw it! I just said I didn't come!"

While she was talking here, someone from the crowd behind said: "I saw that Mrs. Fang came to the front yard!"

Everyone turned their heads and saw that it was Lai Wangniang.

Before Chen Tiecheng went to escort Qi Yongcai, she and Anise brought Xiao Laiwang home to rest with the help of others. After returning home, Anise made medicine for Xiao Laiwang and drank it. The tired two fell asleep together. .Seeing her son and daughter-in-law asleep, Lai Wangniang hid in her room. Later, when she heard that Qi Yongcai had been escorted, she was concerned about who almost killed her son, so she came out to hear the trial.

After listening and hearing, she saw that Fang Shi was involved again, so she guessed that it might have something to do with Fang Shi, because when she saw her yesterday, her expression was really wrong, so she stood up to testify.

Seeing someone talking in the crowd, Chen Tiecheng asked her to come over and answer in front of Ma Xingren.

Although Ma Xingren had seen her a few times before, he didn't know who she was, so he asked, "Who is there?"

Laiwangniang said: "I am Xiao Wang, the mother of the eldest brother-in-law of Jigeng. Xiao Laiwang who fetched water before is my son."

"Oh." Ma Xingren nodded and said, "You said you saw Mrs. Fang coming to Xiangu's house?"

Lai Wangniang said: "Yes, I saw it. I stewed the chicken and pig's trotters for the front yard at home yesterday morning. I wanted to come over and tell them. When I walked into the yard, I saw Mrs. Fang here. back and forth..."

As she spoke, she pointed to the place where Fang had passed, and continued: "I stood here and asked her why she didn't come in. She said she didn't go in, so she just had a look in the yard. I thought she was afraid to see her." Kikyo, I'm sorry to go in, I just went in by myself, I don't know what she did and when she left afterwards."
