Bei Yutang continued, "Also, yesterday my younger sister went out to buy beef and bought the remaining five pounds. When we returned with the beef, Mrs. Miao hadn't bought any yet. So where did Mrs. Miao get her beef from?"
The faces of the Miao couple turned very ugly, and Lord Zhou also realized that the couple was not telling the truth.
“Tell me, where does your beef come from?”
The eyes of the Miao couple flickered, not knowing how to respond.
"I, we are..." Miao stammered, unable to answer, "I remembered it wrongly. I bought the beef before the fight. We were so sad about Zhiping's death that I forgot about it."
Bei Yutang said softly, "Ms. Miao, I asked you several times just now if you remembered it clearly. You swore at the time that you would buy beef after the fight. How come you changed your mind so quickly? I think this beef is probably from an unknown source."
"You, you are slandering me." Mrs. Miao said angrily.
Zhao Wu also said, "Madam, this matter has nothing to do with you. Your Excellency will make the decision. If the beef was not purchased from Ye San and his men, where did we get the beef from?"
I have to say that Zhao Wu reacted quickly, but the contradictory statements made by the couple clearly showed that there was something wrong.
However, if there is no evidence to prove that the beef was not bought from Ye San, it will be difficult to clear Ye San of the charges.
There is no evidence at the moment, so even if we know they have problems it is useless.
As for collecting certificates and such, we still have to rely on the prefect.
Bei Yutang had done everything he knew and was supposed to do, and now it was up to Lord Zhou to handle the situation. After all, he was the official in charge.
Lord Zhou was no fool, so he naturally saw the problems with the Zhao couple.
"Ms. Miao's statements are inconsistent and unreliable. I will make a decision after I find out where the beef came from. Court is adjourned." Lord Zhou made a decision quickly.
Ye San and his wife were taken away by the yamen runners, and Zhao and his wife left hand in hand. The people who were watching at the door dispersed.
"Sister Mu, I was scared to death just now. That's the court, and you dared to go there." Daixiang looked worried with lingering fear.
Bei Yutang sneered, "It's a court, not a torture chamber. What's there to be afraid of?"
"Wait." Zhao Wu's voice came from behind.
Bei Yutang and Dai Xiang looked at the newcomer, "What's going on?"
"Madam, may I have a word with you for a moment?" Zhao Wu asked.
"Sorry, we have something to do at home." Bei Yutang politely declined.
"It won't take you long."
Bei Yutang looked at the two of them. "I don't know either of you, so there's nothing to discuss. Please do as you please."
Zhao Wu's face suddenly darkened, and he stared at Bei Yutang with a cold gaze. "I came here just to tell you, Madam, something: don't meddle in other people's business, or you'll get yourself into trouble. Judging from your accent, you don't seem to be from here. Since you're not from here, just stay quiet and don't get involved in matters that don't concern you."
Daixiang watched the couple leave in an arrogant manner. She felt a little angry, but more worried.
"Sister Mu, they look like they're not easy to deal with. What if they want to take revenge on us?"
"It's okay, don't be afraid." Bei Yutang took her little hand and comforted her, "If they really want to do something, who knows who will regret it in the end."
