Queen of Nongmen: Hexagrams determine the universe

Chapter 213 The Ins and Outs
Who knows, Ye Jigang yelled several times, but instead of calling Mr. Ye, some villagers were called over.

"Stop barking, your grandpa went to town today, not in the village."

"Yeah, you deserve to be arrested for stealing something! I should have thought about it a long time ago. Back then, you had the guts to poison your relatives, so why don't you dare to steal something now?"

"You'd better go to the court to plead guilty and subdue the law, so as not to cause disaster to the village!"

……

Since the dispute between Ye Qiongdan, Xu Mingzhu and Ye Jigang was at the entrance of the village, no one except the coachman who drove the car saw the whole story. They all thought that Ye Jigang had really stolen something.

"I didn't steal anything! They wronged me!" Ye Jigang shouted loudly, "You all have prejudice against me!"

But how could the villagers believe his words? It's a fact that he poisoned people, and it wouldn't be surprising that he would steal things, right?
If he hadn't read the sage books these years, he wouldn't even be a child by now?

The villagers dispersed separately. Before leaving, someone said to Xu Mingzhu: "Girl, you must make the county magistrate punish him severely, and don't let him come back early! Everyone in our village is afraid of him. Since he tried to kill six people with poison last time, when he was walking in the village, the villagers were worried, for fear that an accident would provoke him."

"Be careful, I will definitely eliminate harm for the people!" Xu Mingzhu said firmly.

"Then you have done a great deed for our Shanghe Village!" The villagers said one after another.

Half an hour later, Xu Mingzhu escorted Ye Jigang, and rang the grievance drum in front of the county government office.

After the county magistrate finished the last case, he ordered Xu Mingzhu and Ye Jigang to be brought here.

"Xu Mingzhu, the daughter of the people, has met the magistrate, please let the magistrate be the master for the daughter, and bring the thieves to justice!" Xu Mingzhu bowed kindly and stopped her back, "Today, the daughter of the people will sue Ye Jigang from Shanghe Village stole my purse!"

"Do you have evidence?" the county magistrate asked.

"My lord, when he stole my purse, I got it!" Xu Mingzhu said loudly, holding the rope of the purse.

"Defendant Ye Jigang, is there such a thing?"

"My lord, what Ms. Xu said is not true, this is a false accusation!" Ye Jigang's heart was full of anger and humiliation, "Caomin is a person who has read the books of sages, how could he steal? She and Ye Qiongdan swore to Jinlan , in order to avenge my good sister's personal revenge, and charged me with unwarranted crimes, please be careful!"

"Plaintiff, what do you say?" The magistrate frowned.

"Since ancient times, whoever accuses others has given evidence," Xu Mingzhu said quietly, "I have a witness here, and it is the driver of the carriage."

"My lord, that is the carriage driver of Xu's house. Can he be a witness? He eats the food of Xu's family, and he will certainly not speak for outsiders. His testimony is not credible!" Ye Jigang said immediately, "What's more, I will be here Knowing that she is Commander Xu's daughter, are you going to steal her purse?"

"Yes!" Xu Mingzhu said loudly, "Because I am Commander Xu's daughter, I am rich! Don't continue talking about the sage books. The sage books did not teach you to steal, but he taught you how to steal." To poison people?"

"My lord, the daughter of the people has something to report!" Xu Mingzhu spoke out in the courtroom about Ye Jigang's attempt to kill six people with poison.

The onlookers outside the court heard this with contempt on their faces.

"Ah, this is really scary! It's just an ordinary white man who doesn't have such a heart of tiger and wolf. How can he read so viciously?"

"Yes! You dare to kill, why not steal?"

"My lord, let's deal with him quickly!"

……

"My lord, the grassroots have already repented of the attempted poisoning, and they have had private affairs with the second, third, and fourth families. Is there anyone who will not make any mistakes in life?" Although Ye Jigang was nervous, he did not make any mistakes. Still quick-witted, "The attempted murder has nothing to do with the theft, please be careful, my lord!"

"Could it be that the daughter of my dignified Commander Xu will wrong you?" Xu Mingzhu raised her eyebrows, and finally understood Ye Qiongdan's mood. This Ye Jigang is really too tricky. Dealing with him is like hitting a hedgehog with bare hands. Even if you can beat the hedgehog away, it will inevitably hurt your hand.

"Ye Qiongdan and I have a personal enmity, and Ms. Xu has the motive to wrong me for her! If your lord doesn't make a fair decision, how will the people of Qinghe County obey you in the future?" Ye Jigang said with his neck stuck.

"This... this..." The county magistrate was in a dilemma.

"Caomin Ye Jigang dares to swear to the sky, if Caomin really stole Miss Xu's purse, then Caomin will be struck by lightning immediately!" Ye Jigang bowed to the ground.

He didn't believe it anymore. Could it be that God would really send down a thunder for something he hadn't done?

People in this era value the oath the most. As long as there is no thunder from the sky, and both sides insist on their opinions, but neither can produce real evidence, the county magistrate can only acquit him!
After he is released, he will definitely find a way to deal with Ye Qiongdan again.Now, he felt that it was difficult to let her die, and all he could do was hate, and it was better for her to live and not die!
After paying homage to the county magistrate, Ye Jigang straightened his back.

Seeing that he made such a heavy oath, the county magistrate naturally believed his words.

Xu Mingzhu blushed with anger, her heart was full of helplessness!

Now, the common people outside the court didn't believe that Ye Jigang would steal Xu Mingzhu's money anymore, instead they blamed Xu Mingzhu and Ye Qiongdan one after another.

"Personal grievances can be resolved in private, so why bring them to court?"

"This means that poor people must have something to hate. Seeing that Ye Qiongdan was almost poisoned by her cousin, you look very pitiful, but if she is not hateful, why would her cousin want to poison her? Now still Let a good sister who is loyal to Jinlan go to court to falsely accuse him, this kind of woman is really terrible!"

"Yeah, this girl is really a scholar in vain! It's a disgrace to a scholar! And Miss Xu's actions can be regarded as a disgrace to her father! In the future, who else would dare to marry the daughter of the Xu family? Good!" The marriage will be ruined by myself!"

……

Just when everyone was discussing lively, a thunderbolt swept across the sky, and it shot straight into the courtroom, and exploded at Ye Jigang's feet.

Ye Jigang was so frightened that his legs went limp immediately, and a smelly liquid gushed out from between his legs.

The hem of his clothes was ignited by the thunder, and the flames burned instantly.

By the time he and the servants around him reacted, half of his body was already enveloped in flames.

The yamen servant rushed up and patted the flames on his body, and it took a long time to extinguish the flames on his body.

This thunderstorm frightened Ye Jigang, the common people, the yamen servants, and the county magistrate.

The county magistrate's face turned pale, and after a while, he said with trembling lips: "This, this is the will of God..."

Ye Jigang suddenly collapsed on the ground, his heart ashamed.

God is unfair!

God is not fair!Why is the sky standing beside that wicked girl?Why?
Could it be that he couldn't deal with that wicked girl?

He doesn't believe it!Do not believe!

"Come here," the county magistrate took a deep breath and spoke louder, "If you don't take the prisoner Ye Jigang down, sentence him to three years in prison!"

"Yes!" The yamen servant nodded, and immediately dragged Ye Jigang down.

When Ye Jigang was dragged away, he glanced at Ye Qiongdan unwillingly, and then at Xu Mingzhu full of hatred.

Xu Mingzhu felt a little uncomfortable when he looked at her like that, as if a poisonous snake swam past her hand.

However, after he was taken down, she breathed a sigh of relief, so what if Ye Jigang is really a hedgehog?Now, the hedgehog's thorns have been pulled out!
"Okay! Take the next complainant!" The county magistrate waved his hand.

Xu Mingzhu came out, took Ye Qiongdan's hand outside the courtroom, and walked with her through layers of people watching the excitement, and the voices of the people's discussions reached their ears.

"It's amazing! It's really amazing! This old man has lived for so many years, and it's the first time I've seen God open his eyes!"

"I'm afraid this Ye Jigang has done so many evil things that even God can't tolerate him anymore!"

"He still dares to ignore heaven and earth, but now, heaven and earth make him deserve it?"

……

After the two sisters walked away, Xu Mingzhu also sighed in amazement: "Unexpectedly, God really has eyes! I was almost scared to death."

"It's really my fault for scaring Mingzhu into a fool," Ye Qiongdan said apologetically, "I'm here to apologize to you."

"What crime are you apologizing to me?" Xu Mingzhu asked puzzledly, "I heard that people in the Sun Mansion treat you as a master. Could it be that you are really a great master?"

"Master is not counted," Ye Qiongdan smiled, "However, there are so many small tricks."

"You made that thunder?" Xu Mingzhu was extremely clever.

"Yeah, I used a Five Thunder Curse."

"It's amazing! Hey, show me another one!" Xu Mingzhu said enthusiastically.

"You, aren't you afraid?" Ye Qiongdan asked hesitantly.

"The thunder in the courtroom was because I was caught off guard. Now that I'm prepared, why would I be afraid?" Xu Mingzhu raised her eyebrows slightly, "It's almost noon. I heard that you are very good at cooking. Let's find a river and fry it." How about some fish?"

"It's all up to you." Ye Qiongdan's eyes were full of pampering for good sisters.

The two got into the carriage, asked the coachman to buy some spices, and then drove the carriage to a remote river bank.

At noon, Ye Qiongdan grilled some fish, which made Xu Mingzhu and the coachman very satisfied.

The two sisters lay under the tree, stared at the clear river and rested for a while, then asked the coachman to drive back to Shanghe Village.

Unexpectedly, before reaching the door of the new house, they heard crying inside the house.

Ye Qiongdan's heart tightened, and he quickly pushed the door open and walked in.

Suddenly, the family looked at her as if they had found their backbone.

"What's wrong?" Ye Qiongdan asked hastily.
