Chapter 144 Xiao Ying was acquitted. Are you interested in this woman?
Ding Fang and Zhou Yanqing were both cheered up. This matter finally became interesting. Someone actually saw Xiao Ying kill Zhou Tianci with his own eyes.
"Wang Er, did you really see with your own eyes that it was Xiao Ying who killed Zhou Tianci that night?"
Ding Fang was in high spirits and wanted to convict Xiao Ying immediately.
Wang Er shrank his neck, but still nodded.
"Yes, I saw it with my own eyes. It was this woman who killed the young master."
He pointed out Xiao Ying in class, and the atmosphere in the classroom suddenly became much warmer.
Xiao Ying looked at Wang Er expressionlessly. She had indeed seen this man before. Before killing Zhou Tianci that night, she knocked out all the servants in the yard, including this man.
Since she had knocked the other person unconscious, it was impossible for Wang Er to see her kill someone with his own eyes.
So, Wang Er must be lying.
Seeing Yu Qian's smug look, how could anyone not understand?
He must have asked Wang Er to give false testimony and deliberately fabricated evidence.
"Sir, I have something to say."
After figuring this out, she was sure that she had no loopholes.
Ding Fang's tone was unhappy. He knew that she was going to quibble again, but he couldn't stop her.
"you say."
Xiao Ying then asked Wang Er, "You said you saw me kill your son with your own eyes, so why didn't you stop me? You didn't stop me, didn't tell anyone, and didn't send anyone to rescue your son. What was your intention?"
"Could it be that you harbor a grudge against your young master and wish he were killed? Furthermore, why didn't you come forward and explain the truth when Lord Wei was investigating?"
"Oh, as a servant, yet you watched your master die without rescuing him, and didn't clarify the matter afterwards. That's disloyalty and injustice."
"Such a disloyal and unrighteous person, are his words worth believing?"
"My lords, I think it was Wang Er who colluded with the bandits to kill Zhou Tianci? He deliberately took his life for money!"
At the end of his speech, he suddenly raised his voice, which frightened Wang Er.
Wang Er was so frightened that his eyes widened, his whole body trembled, and his face turned pale.
He was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground, as if the truth had been exposed.
Wang Er felt a terrible pressure enveloping his whole body, making it impossible for him to even stand up straight, as if a mountain was pressing down on him.
He wanted to open his mouth to defend himself, but he couldn't say anything. It was more like he was speechless in the face of the accusations.
"Why, the truth was revealed?"
But Xiao Ying raised the corners of her lips and smiled, but in Wang Er's eyes, that smile looked like a demon that was taking his life.
"You, you're talking nonsense! It was obviously you who killed my young master!"
Yu Qian broke out in a cold sweat again and cursed Wang Er a thousand times in his heart.
This useless thing, he was fine before, but when the time came, he was scared like this and let people blame him.
"Manager Yu is so anxious and angry, are you involved in this?"
Xiao Ying looked at him with a smile again, but the smile did not reach her eyes.
"I see. It must be because Manxiang Garden was burned down that Zhou Tianci took his anger out on you, so you wanted revenge."
"Zhou Tianci just happened to bribe bandits to kill me, giving you an opportunity. You colluded with the bandits and bribed Wang Er to kill Zhou Tianci overnight. You then tried to frame me."
Such a distortion of right and wrong made Yu Qian so angry that he vomited blood.
"Nonsense...Pfft..."
Yu Qian spat out a mouthful of blood on the ground and fainted from anger.
This sudden turn of events also shocked Ding Fang and the other two. They never expected things to turn out like this.
Ding Fang was very upset. He shouldn't have given this woman a chance to speak.
I thought that after a sudden turn of events, there would finally be a witness to convict Xiao Ying, but unexpectedly, not only was the conviction not accomplished, but the witness also implicated himself.
"It seems that Shopkeeper Yu was furious after being exposed and pretended to be unconscious."
Xiao Ying was still sighing, which made Ding Fang grit his teeth.
"Shut up!"
"Pah pah pah."
At this moment, Zhou Yanqing suddenly clapped his hands, and looked at Xiao Ying with interest and excitement in his triangular eyes.
"What a eloquent woman! She's not bad looking too. No wonder she was able to do business with Ruyi Restaurant."
As soon as these words were spoken, not only did Xiao Ying's eyes turn cold, but Ning Yuanze also became angry and glanced at Zhou Yanqing.
"It's fine if this gentleman insults me, after all, I'm just a little village woman, but I'm afraid it's inappropriate to say that about Ruyi Restaurant."
Xiao Ying looked at Zhou Yanqing as if he were a dead person. Don't think she doesn't know that he is the mastermind behind all this.
"I made a slip of the tongue."
Although he said this, Zhou Yanqing showed no sign of regretting his mistake. Instead, he looked at Xiao Ying with even more interest.
"Madam Xiao, instead of doing business with Ruyi Restaurant, why not do business with our Zhou family? With Madam Xiao's beauty, I promise to make your business as popular as Shangjing."
This was a blatant insult and teasing, and Ding Fang couldn't bear to watch it.
It would be fine if this playboy was just a playboy on a daily basis, but this is a court after all, and he couldn't help himself.
Although Xiao Ying was somewhat pretty, she was just a country woman after all, and was said to have four children.
Wait, Zhou Yanqing seems to like married women... Ding Fang couldn't help but twitch his lips.
Ning Yuanze on the other side couldn't stand it anymore. There was nothing wrong with trying Xiao Ying as a suspect, but teasing her like that was really obscene.
"Master Zhou, please be careful with your words."
He shouted in a warning tone, but Zhou Yanqing didn't take him seriously at all.
"Why, are you also interested in this woman?"
"Master Zhou, this is the court!"
Ning Yuanze was furious, his cheeks flushed red. He had never seen such a shameless person.
Xiao Ying was a little surprised. The new county magistrate seemed to be an upright man.
She looked indifferent, which was good, Zhou Yanqing had completely angered her.
Originally, she just wanted to teach him a lesson, but now, she wanted to completely discredit him and make him leave Yun'an County in disgrace.
"Since there is no evidence to accuse Xiao Ying of murder, I think today's trial should end here."
Ning Yuanze was unusually tough and immediately slammed the gavel: "Adjourn the court!"
After saying this, he left first, without paying any attention to Ding Fang and Zhou Yanqing.
Ding Fang seemed to feel ashamed as well, and left with a flick of his sleeves.
Zhou Yanqing then stood up and stretched, still looking like a dandy.
When she walked over to Xiao Ying, she took another look at her and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Tsk tsk... She doesn't look like a country woman at all. I really can't bear to do anything to her."
Finally, he winked and smiled meaningfully: "If you want to survive, be smart."
Xiao Ying felt nauseous and almost vomited as soon as Zhou Yanqing left.
I've never seen such a disgusting person.
Very well, his sins are even greater.
"Ma'am, how are you?"
Before Zhou Yanqing could walk away, a figure flashed in and quickly helped Xiao Ying up.
Meeting Ling Yun's concerned gaze, Xiao Ying shook his head.
"It's okay, let's go out."
"These two people..." A murderous look flashed across Ling Yun's eyes.
Xiao Ying smiled and said, "It's just a grasshopper in autumn, don't pay any attention to it."
She brushed off her sleeves and walked out of the yamen calmly.
