"Sir, when Xiaowu went back to the front hall to report this to the shopkeeper, there were still many guests dining. If you can't make a judgment, you can call those guests to treat them. In order to prevent the guests from being threatened by Dong Dawang, you can ask them secretly."
"Alright, go find the guests who dined in the front hall of Penglai Restaurant yesterday evening and ask them to sign their confessions."
Chen Tang'an gave the order and the bailiff left.
Before he could speak again, Chaoge spoke again: "Sir, I have another way to prove that those waiters and Dong Dawang are full of lies."
"Hmph, I wonder how you can still make excuses. You hurt my husband so badly, you are such a vicious woman!
No wonder his face is full of scars, it turns out he is a vicious person.
Now we have to find witnesses, are you trying to do something else?"
Dong Dawang's wife thought that since they already had several waiters helping them, and even Manager Liang had an ambiguous attitude, their chances of winning were already very high, so she was not too worried at this time.
The guests who were having dinner were still interrogated by the yamen runners. With the runners around, it was almost certain that they were caught.
Chen Tangan raised his eyebrows, somewhat surprised: "What other methods are there?"
"Just look at the places on the famous family's brother's body that were burned by the oil."
"How do you tell?"
Chen Tangan became anxious.
"The stove in the back kitchen of the restaurant is not high, and the hot oil must have been placed on the stove. If it is based on what those waiters said and what Dong Dawang said, then the girl's brother knocked over the iron pot and was accidentally scalded by the hot oil in the iron pot. The injured parts are most likely to be the waist, abdomen and thighs. The refugees may have some splashes on their hands because of panic, usually on the back of their hands, but this possibility is very small.
But if what my brother said is true, then it was Chef Dong who poured the hot oil on her. The injuries would be lighter on the areas covered by clothes, but they would definitely be obvious on the neck or wrists.
If you knock over a tin pot on the stove, it's impossible for it to splash onto your neck, right?
My brother can take off his clothes now and let the adults see it again with their own eyes."
Without Chaoge saying anything, Yun Chaoyi had already quickly taken off his clothes again, revealing the bruises all over his body.
When the shopkeeper Liang, who was serving as the certifier, suddenly saw these injuries, his eyes widened with shock and surprise on his face.
Then a trace of regret crept up his brows and he bit his lip tightly, but reason stopped him from speaking.
"By the way, don't you have two apprentices here, sir?
Whether my dear little sister is lying or not, wouldn’t you know if you ask the two apprentices to take off their shirts?
If we have wrongly accused Dong Dawang of being a cruel person, then I am willing to take full responsibility for what I did today."
As soon as Chaoge finished speaking, the two apprentices who had given false testimony and dared not expose Dong Dawang suddenly trembled.
He is about the same age as Yun Chaoyi, and his family conditions must not be very good, which is why he has fallen to this point.
Before they lied, they probably wanted to keep this hard-earned job, or they were afraid of Dong Dawang's tyranny, so they said those words against their conscience.
No matter what they are, Chaoge won’t care.
Dong Dawang turned the tables and took advantage of the fact that his wife's cousin was the county magistrate's wife. He even dared to sue them in court and wanted to put them to death. So they had to fight to the end.
If these two pieces of evidence are not enough to convict Chen Tangan, don't blame her for using her ultimate move.
Chen Tangan looked at the wounds on Yun Chaoyi's body. The places that were burned yesterday and covered by clothes were now red.
Chaoge had already applied medicine to the wrists, backs of hands, neck and chest that were not covered by clothes, but it was not healing so quickly. Blisters had already appeared in some places, covering a large area, which was shocking to everyone.
Upon hearing this, Chen Tang'an immediately ordered the two shivering apprentices to take off their clothes.
When the two apprentices' frail bodies were revealed, Chaoge laughed out loud: "See, these two little ones couldn't have gotten into this kind of trouble by fighting with others, right?"
After saying that, Chaoge suddenly raised his eyebrows, walked directly to one of the apprentices, went around behind him, and his expression suddenly changed!
Chaoge said nothing, pulled the apprentice and turned around, his back facing Chen Tangan's gaze!
"Please look, sir, this wound is obviously caused by being splashed with hot oil.
Perhaps the little brother did not take any treatment for the injury. A few days later, the blisters had broken and became inflamed and festered. With such obvious evidence, sir, if you are not confused, you should know who is lying.
The wound is from his shoulder to half his back. Haha, if he said he knocked over an iron pot and it spilled on him, that would be a very low-level lie."
When the bailiffs were forcibly taking off the clothes of this apprentice, Chaoge clearly saw the pain he was holding back. Unexpectedly, it was just as he had predicted, except that the injury on his back was so terrible!
With a "thump", the apprentice knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Chen Tang'an: "Sir, yes, I just lied. It's mainly because someone threatened me before. If I don't do what they said, I will not only lose this job, but my whole family will also be in trouble.
Sir, Dong Dawang has been putting on airs since the first day he came to the kitchen. He is even more excessive to us apprentices than to the servants.
The lighter ones were beaten and scolded, and the heavier ones were
Beat him to death!
All the injuries on my body were caused by Dong Dawang. The wound on my back was caused by Dong Dawang splashing hot oil on me.
Dong Dawang was brutal by nature. He said if I didn’t obey, he would kill me and chop me into meat paste to make dumplings…”
"vomit!"
Chaoge couldn't help it, maybe because of her pregnancy, imagining that scene, she couldn't help but retching on the spot.
Fortunately, I quickly stuffed a plum into my mouth, and the feeling subsided a little.
When Chen Tang'an looked at the shocking wound on the apprentice's back and heard what he said, his face had already turned as black as the bottom of a pot!
Dong Dawang stopped shouting completely, and he and his wife were completely at a loss!
"You are so good, Dong Dawang. You are the wicked one who complains first. Who gave you the right to bully the weak?"
Chen Tang'an wanted to say, "Who gave you the right to bully others and take advantage of my authority to do evil in this county? Are you tired of living?"
But you must never say this out loud...
Dong Dawang and his wife were smart. Knowing that the east wind had gone, they knelt down and begged for mercy.
After a while, the bailiffs came back with the confessions of those men.
Some said they didn't know, while others spoke out for justice...
Now, with this ironclad evidence, Dong Dawang had no room to struggle.
Only then did he realize that he had provoked a tough guy, not only causing himself to become disabled, but also shooting himself in the foot and sending himself to jail.
