Splendid Pastoral: Space farmers are good for farming

Chapter 241 Don't Kill My Mother
After hearing Lai Wangniang's testimony, Ma Xingren slapped the table and said angrily, "Fang Shi, how dare you deceive me!"

Fang shivered with fright, howled loudly, and said, "No, my lord, they framed me! They all framed me! Her son Xiao Laiwang is also suspected. She did this on purpose to help her son." You said, I didn’t come yesterday, I really didn’t come!”

She refused to admit it to death, and Ma Xingren had no choice. The crowd asked, "Among you, who else saw Mrs. Fang come to Qiao Jijiao's yard yesterday?"

Fang's search was a good time yesterday, when there were fewer people, the weather was too cold, and the windows of Ji Jiao's house were so thickly plastered that no one could see through the windows, so they couldn't find anyone else to testify.

Ma Xingren asked twice and saw no one answered, turned to ask Ji Jiao, and said: "Xiangu, I think the suspicion of these two people is not small, if there is really no other way to verify, I will take them all back to the yamen for torture. Let's see who can confess?"

His words frightened Fang and Qi Yongcai, and Fang continued to howl: "My lord, my lord, you can't do this! I was wronged! He is the only murderer! He did the poison, you can't do that to me!" I use punishment..."

Qi Yongcai also shouted: "My lord, I am the one who was wronged. I have never been in Shan Xing's courtyard. I don't know what's going on..."

Although these two people are not worthy of pity, Kikyo is unwilling to let Ma Xingren go back for a hard trial. In case of being tortured, it doesn't matter if one of them is wronged, and he is the most unwilling to let the real murderer go.

Thinking of sitting there staring at Fang Shi, he asked again: "Since you said you didn't come to my house yesterday, where are you? Is there anyone to testify for you?"

Fang also didn't care about whether the platycodon had the right to ask, and quickly replied: "I'm at home, I've been at home all day, washing clothes and cooking, and I haven't done anything."

"Who saw you do this? Especially during the period when Qi Yongcai testified against you."

"I, I..." Fang blinked and couldn't speak.

Kikyo was suspicious for a while, thinking that she would tell Ershan and Dabao right away, her father stayed at her home, she was at home with her two children, and said that it was normal for the children to see her, but why didn't Fang say that?
Thinking about it, she turned to Kidou and said, "Wu'er, go and call Dabao and Ershan, and tell Ma County Magistrate that he has something to ask them."

Kidney Dou ran out, and found Dabao and Ershan from behind the crowd after a while.

After all, Ershan was a bit older, and when he came in, he stood next to Mrs. Fang and said nothing, but Dabao was so frightened that he cried, wiping his tears and shouting: "Sister, don't kill my mother, don't kill my mother..."

Kikyo is also feeling uncomfortable, if it is not really necessary for the two of them to come out to talk, he is not willing to bring his brother over, seeing his mother like this.

Thinking of coming over and squatting down, holding Dabao in his arms, he said: "Dabao won't cry, Third Sister won't kill your mother, Third Sister just wants to ask you something, if you don't cry, your mother will be fine."

Only then did Dabao lower his cry, choked up and nodded.

Kikyo asked: "Was Dabao at home with your mother yesterday?"

Dabao shook his head and said, "No, my second brother and I went to the town to play yesterday, and what delicious food we bought!"

Kikyo was stunned again, did Ershan and Dabao go to town to play yesterday?Why?According to the old practice, Ershan and Dabao should come to have a meal when there is something lively at home, even if Ershan is embarrassed to come over because of Dashan, Dabao is justified. Come on, the sisters coax him like a baby.

Thinking about it, she turned her head and asked Ershan again: "Why did you go to the town yesterday? Is there something wrong?"

Ershan turned his head to look at Fang Shi, and saw his mother winking at him. He knew that his mother must want him to say something, but just by winking, he really couldn't comprehend more meanings, and he hesitated there. Said: "Yes, there is something."

"What's the matter?"

"It's, it's just...to go to town."

Kikyo knew that Ershan was lying at a glance, and asked Dabao: "Did you hear what your mother said to your second brother?"

Dabao said: "Yes, my mother said let's go to the town to play, eat and buy whatever we want, and the later the better we come back."

Kikyo rubbed Dabao's head after hearing this, and said, "Go, I'm done asking you, you guys go play again, drive Sister Ming to the county, and bring you something fun."

"Yes." Dabao wiped away his tears, and left with Ershan.

After they left, Kikyo sat back in her chair and didn't speak, just sat there and waited, she had already asked this far, Ma Xingren should know what to ask.

Ma Xingren also knew what she meant, so he asked without her reminding: "Mr. Fang, why did you send the child away from home yesterday for no reason? But what are you going to do so shamelessly that the child will see it?"

Fang yelled again: "No, I was wronged! Yesterday was a good day for Shanxing. I was afraid that those two children would be embarrassing if they were ignorant, so I sent them out. It didn't mean anything else!"

Ma Xingren turned his attention to Kikyo again, meaning to ask her if she should believe this.

Kikyo sat there looking at Fang, thinking that this woman is really hateful, the facts are already in front of her eyes, but she is still denying it, it seems that she will not shed tears when she sees the coffin, well, let everyone see it Be clear, find out who is the real culprit, otherwise you will be sentenced for being so confused, and Dabao will blame himself when he grows up.

Thinking about it, he said to Ma Xingren: "Master Ma, it's really too cold outside, why don't you go inside and warm up for a while before interrogation."

Knowing that she had something to say, Ma Xingren said, "Okay, let's warm up, this county is too cold."

After speaking, the two went into the house, but did not tell the others what to do.

Chen Tiecheng was used to such things, and kept order outside as usual. The master sat there sorting out the confession he just recorded. The people in the yamen didn't take it seriously, but the people onlookers became agitated and secretly whispered. Whispering, guessing what Kikyo and Ma Xingren were doing in there.

Fang knelt on the ground, her legs were about to break from the ice and she didn't dare to get up, her heart panicked, she didn't know if she had made a mistake, and Kikyo saw something.

Qi Yongcai next to him was even more aggrieved, knelt there and cursed inwardly, his mother, Qiao Shanxing, has been in trouble since he got in touch with her, and she was looked down upon by her family and forced to spoil her. There's also a lawsuit, if I can't pick it up, I might lose my life, but I really screwed myself to death!But it's strange to say, judging from Qiao Shanju's meaning, it seems that she really didn't send the letter to me, so who sent it?
They waited here with their own thoughts, and not long after, Jigeng and Ma Xingren came out of the house after discussing.

Ma Xingren sat back in front of the case, pointed at Fang Shi and Qi Yongcai, and said, "Catcher Chen, tie these two up for me first, blindfold and plug their ears!"
