As she spoke, Mrs. Miao began to cry sadly again.
Ye San and his wife were extremely anxious and didn't know how to defend themselves. They could only repeat the same sentence over and over again.
"Master, my wife and I have no grudge against them, so how could we possibly poison them? So many people bought food yesterday, and they were all fine after eating it."
"My Lord, we really didn't kill anyone." Zhang shouted.
Mrs. Miao roared angrily, "If it wasn't you who killed someone, who else could it be? My son's accident happened because he ate your beef, and the beef was also found to be poisonous. Don't try to quibble. My lord, you must stand up for me."
Ye San and his wife said hurriedly, "We didn't poison anyone."
Lord Zhou saw that both sides were arguing so loudly that it made his forehead hurt. He slammed the gavel in his hand, and both sides shut up obediently.
Just when Lord Zhou didn't know how to start, Bei Yutang, who was standing outside the hall watching the excitement, walked in. The yamen runners guarding the door immediately stopped her.
Bei Yutang said to the two yamen runners, "I saw that woman yesterday."
Lord Zhou saw what was happening and shouted, "Who's making so much noise outside?"
The bailiff let him go, and Bei Yutang walked into the government office and said to Lord Zhou in the hall, "Sir, I met this woman yesterday, and I can prove that she was lying just now."
Seeing a new clue, Lord Zhou hurriedly asked, "Tell us quickly."
Bei Yutang looked at Miao. When Miao met her eyes, her eyes flickered and she didn't dare to look at her.
"Yesterday, my family happened to buy beef from this family. On our way back, we happened to see this woman. She had been arguing with someone, and the two sides even fought. I remember that the woman didn't have any beef at the time. If you have any questions, you can go to that alley and ask someone. I think many people still remember what happened yesterday."
Miao's face turned very ugly.
Lord Zhou looked at Madam Miao coldly, "Madam Miao, is what she said true?"
Mrs. Miao began to stammer, "I did have an argument with him. However, when she saw me, I hadn't bought the beef yet, so she naturally couldn't see it. I only bought it after the fight."
The more Miao spoke, the more confident she became, and her back straightened unconsciously.
Bei Yutang looked at Miao with a smile, "Are you sure? Maybe you made a mistake? Think about it carefully."
Miao said firmly, "Of course I am sure. How could I forget something that just happened yesterday?"
"Sir, can I ask Ye San a question?" Bei Yutang asked.
"Can."
Bei Yutang looked at Ye San and his wife, "Ye San, when did you close your stall?"
"I closed my stall and went home just after noon." Ye San answered honestly, not understanding why she asked this.
Lord Zhou looked at Bei Yutang, "Why are you asking this?"
"Sir, the question I asked Ye San just now was actually to prove his innocence."
The onlookers were all confused, and even Lord Zhou in the hall looked puzzled.
"What do you mean?"
"Ms. Miao just said she went to buy beef after a fight. I saw her at 7:00 PM. How could someone who was still fighting at 7:00 PM buy beef from Ye San, who had already closed his stall?"
