After coming in, Qin Ye waved behind him.
The guards behind him received the order, loosened their grip, and threw the three people they were holding to the ground.
The three people who were thrown to the ground cried out in pain one after another, holding their waists and were about to curse. After realizing where they were, they swallowed the curse back.
When they saw a group of people around them, the three men became flustered and moved towards the woman without any prior arrangement.
"What's going on..."
Because Song Qianning was not far from the country woman and her family, she narrowed her eyes when she heard them calling her the country woman.
When the country woman saw the three family members suddenly appear in front of her, she was also frightened and almost jumped up from the ground. She looked even more panicked than them.
In her panic, the country woman almost forgot that she was in court and blurted out, "Why are you here?!"
Unlike the sharp shouting when she faced Song Qianning, the country woman's voice this time was filled with undisguised panic.
It wasn't just the woman, her family members all looked more uneasy than each other and huddled together.
After confirming their identities, Song Qianning narrowed her eyes.
Just now the country woman said that her family members were too weak to get out of bed. But looking at these three people, they look full of energy. It doesn't look like they are unable to get out of bed due to diarrhea and vomiting.
Ning Qiuze was also stunned for a moment by the sudden appearance of Qin Ye and the country woman's family, and then hurriedly walked down from the court.
He bowed to Qin Ye and said in a fawning and flattering manner: "Sir, what brings you here?"
Glancing at Ning Qiuze, Qin Ye said indifferently, "I'm here to supervise the court today. Ning Fuyin doesn't need to worry about me."
Having said that, Ning Qiuze didn't dare to really not care, and quickly asked the yamen runner to bring a chair over.
"Then, sir..."
Under Ning Qiuze's flattery, Qin Ye frowned and nodded at him: "Just continue to solve the case, don't worry about me."
Ning Qiuze didn't dare to walk back until Qin Ye sat down on the stool, but his steps were a little unsteady.
Sitting down at the desk again, Ning Qiuze coughed lightly, deliberately clapped the gavel in his hand, and pretended to be dumb, "Who is this person coming down from the hall?"
The woman's family trembled and dared not speak. Seeing this, the woman suppressed her panic and said, "They, they are all my family."
"Oh?" Song Qianning looked puzzled: "Since they are your family, why did they tell you..."
After a moment of confusion, the woman's family finally realized what was happening and quickly collapsed to the ground, crying out in pain.
"Ouch, my body hurts so much, am I going to die?"
"Oh my, oh my, if I had known that cooked food was harmful, I wouldn't have eaten it."
The three of them each covered their bodies, collapsed on the ground and cried out in pain, their voices louder than each other, as if they were afraid that others couldn't hear them.
"Sir, please help us. This little bitch sold us poisoned meat. She clearly wants to kill us."
"Yes, this little bitch has such a vicious heart. Lord Prefect, you must not let her go."
"There must be poison in that braised meat."
Looking at the three people who were screaming in pain and falling into his trap, Song Qianning sneered in his heart.
They and the village woman are really a family, and the way they act when they throw tantrums is just like one person.
She looked up and exchanged a glance with Qin Ye who was sitting next to her, then Song Qianning looked at the three people on the ground who were still screaming in pain.
Walking towards the three people, she said with a kind expression, "I wonder where it hurts on your body?"
"stomachache."
"My stomach hurts."
"Headache."
The three of them spoke in unison, but the locations they mentioned were completely different.
The corners of Song Qianning's mouth twitched, and she rolled her eyes secretly. She hadn't even coordinated the confession, yet she wanted to slander people at will.
After the three of them finished speaking, she covered her mouth with her hand, looking surprised: "This...it turns out that the three of you are hurting in different places."
The moment they said this, the three of them froze there. When they heard Song Qianning's words, their faces became uglier than each other.
You look at me and I look at you, our faces are pale and blue, it's a very interesting sight.
The courtroom was completely silent. Song Qianning muttered to herself, "We ate the food at the same time, but the pain is in different places. How strange."
While pretending to be confused, Song Qianning secretly complained in her heart, and the person who said he had a headache must have eaten something bad. If you didn't know, you would think he had damaged his brain.
Because of Song Qianning's words, the expressions of several people became even more interesting. One of them immediately changed the topic and said, "It was you, woman, who threatened us!"
The other two also followed suit: "Yes, you have bad intentions and want to intimidate and threaten us."
"Not only did they threaten us, they also tried to force us to change our statements in court. We were frightened and said the wrong thing."
The excuse he made up on the spur of the moment was full of loopholes, so Song Qianning didn't even need to look for them.
She sneered inwardly, and amid the continuous shouting of the three people, she calmly raised her head and looked at Ning Qiuze in the hall.
He cast a sidelong glance at the three men and said, "We were in court just now. I'm really curious. I haven't even touched you. How did I threaten and intimidate you?"
"Could it be that I have some omnipotent ability that I could conceal from everyone and threaten you in front of them? The prefect should have seen everything that happened in court clearly. Please investigate thoroughly."
His eyes were looking at the three people on the ground, but his words were addressed to Ning Qiuze above.
Ning Qiuze's face was already not in good condition, and it became even worse after hearing what Song Qianning said.
Resisting the urge to curse, he forced a smile and said, "Song Qianning is right. I saw everything that happened just now clearly."
"Neither Song Qianning nor you have ever left my sight, let alone posing any threat."
After Ning Qiuze finished speaking, Song Qianning deliberately echoed his words: "The prefect is right. This is the court, not the place for you to talk nonsense. If you dare to spread rumors and slander again, you will not be able to get away with it easily."
Ning Qiuze had to force a smile and pretend to scold the three people.
After getting a satisfactory answer, Song Qianning smiled and looked at the three people again.
At this time, the expressions of the three people were very bad. When they saw Song Qianning looking at them, they glared at her fiercely. They wanted to curse something, but they didn't dare to say it out loud.
Not paying any attention to the stares from the three men, Song Qianning spoke slowly, "You said it was a problem from eating the cooked food sold in my shop. I'm a little curious. Please bring the remaining cooked food over so I can check it."
Without waiting for the three to speak, she asked, "Is there any cooked food left?"
Before the three people on the ground could deny it, a voice came from the side: "Of course there are some left."
After saying this, Qin Ye clapped his hands.
