Chapter 131 He is summoned to court
"According to my calculations, the gate of Sun Ji Warehouse should have been pushed open by the crowd of people, right?" Lu Mingchao asked, tilting his head and blinking.
Since her last self-reflection, she will no longer show mercy to Sun Zhiye.
A killing move must be accompanied by a killing move, otherwise it would make her look weak!
Sun Zhiye had no chance to burn the moldy rice.
Xie Yan reached out his hand and gently tucked Lu Mingchao's slightly messy hair behind his ears. He said jokingly, "Mingchao has already mastered the art of fortune-telling and has made extraordinary achievements."
"Of course." Lu Mingchao raised his chin, very proud.
After a pause, he continued, "Still no news about the Lost Pearl of Canghai?"
Xie Yan nodded and said, "The guards are still investigating."
Lu Mingchao frowned slightly and pursed his lips. "After the county government accepts the case of Old Lady Xing reporting Sun Zhiye, save Old Lady Xing's life."
"That servant named Ah Xing is the most trusted and closest servant of Young Master Sun. Whether he is fooling around with prostitutes or flirting with decent women, the two of them are inseparable."
"Perhaps Old Lady Xing will have some clues."
If you walk by the river often, your shoes will get wet.
If her shoes really didn't get wet, then she would have to wonder whether Young Master Sun was infertile.
"There are also prostitutes in the brothels that Young Master Sun usually visits. We can use them to get information from them indirectly."
In the world of romance, it's not just the belt of a man's pants that's loose, but also his mouth and brain.
After three or two cups of wine, with the beauty in his arms, he became so frivolous that he didn't know where to go and only knew how to turn the world upside down.
Xie Yan sighed, "What if we search for it in the Ming Dynasty and still can't find it?"
Lu Mingchao's long eyelashes trembled, his eyebrows slightly frowned, hiding the flash of chill in his eyes. "Out of nothing."
The fact that Sun Zhiye murdered the second young master Sun has left Mr. Sun and Mrs. Sun with an unresolved knot and an inextricable resentment.
Not to mention, afterwards, Sun Zhiye mercilessly sent Mr. Sun and Mrs. Sun to a remote and miserable Taoist temple.
The days of hardship and loneliness are the time when longing and depression can turn into hatred.
If Young Master Sun has any bloodline left in the world, Old Master Sun and Madam Sun will no longer have to worry about him!
"Creating something out of nothing is a hidden danger. We should continue searching. After all, it is not the time to use the sharp blade yet."
…
Changhe County.
sun kee warehouse.
Eucommia ulmoides is late.
The moment he dismounted, the sturdy wooden door of the warehouse shook as if it had experienced a violent collision.
The crowd was crowded, like a tide, one wave after another.
The wooden door fell heavily, instantly stirring up a cloud of dust that spread all around.
Du Zhong couldn't see clearly who was the first to step on the wooden door and rush into the warehouse. He only knew that there was one person in the lead, and the rest of the people seemed to be following the leader, rushing in like a flood after a gate was opened.
The warehouse guards couldn't stop it, nor did they dare to stop it.
Finished!
It's all over!
There was only endless panic on Du Zhong's face.
After a while, the shouts of the people in the warehouse were heard.
"Rice is really popular. Other grain stores sell grain for copper coins, but the grain sold in Sun Kee Grain Store is life-threatening."
"When we first rushed in, some people were picking out red rice grains."
"Chaofu Grain Store is inspected every day. Sun Kee Grain Store is violating its conscience and passing off bad products as good ones. It's not that they don't know the goods, but they are afraid of comparing the goods."
"I heard from the old doctor at Nanshan Hall that even if you pick out the moldy and discolored rice, the remaining rice is poisonous and can't be eaten. It's like a chronic poison. You can die from eating it without knowing why."
"No wonder my mother died without any reason or warning. It turned out that she ate Sun Kee's rice."
"Come on, come on, grab a handful, you must grab a handful, otherwise Sun Ji will deny it."
Among the common people, a man dressed as a scholar raised his arms and shouted, "Before coming here, I heard that an old woman rang the bell to report the evil deeds of Master Sun. Because she was a slave accusing her master, she was punished with thirty strokes of the cane and was beaten to a bloody pulp. Unfortunately, there is evidence that the old woman was seeking revenge for personal gain."
"Now it seems that revenge for personal gain is false, and the revelation of justice is true."
"Since God has allowed us to encounter this incident, it means that we have been given the mission of upholding justice and protecting the weak. We will not wrongly accuse a good person, and we will never tolerate an evil person."
The words were spoken with such force that the listeners' blood boiled.
"Bring these people who picked up the rice grains to the authorities to prove that the old woman who beat the drum of injustice was not lying."
The man dressed as a scholar aroused the heroic spirit in the hearts of the people. They were full of vigor and vitality, and their backs were straightened a lot.
Du Zhong led a group of guards to block the warehouse door and shouted at the top of his voice, "Sun Ji has no intention of selling the damp and moldy rice!"
"He is a lackey of the unscrupulous businessman. Don't listen to his nonsense. The woman who risked her life to seek justice for us ordinary people is still waiting for us to save her."
A voice came from somewhere in the crowd.
"Get out!"
There was a scuffle and if the guards had not been strict, Du Zhong would have been trampled into a meat pie.
"Catch them!"
Du Zhong, who was covered in dust, pointed at two people in the crowd who had particularly outstanding temperaments and gave orders in an angry and annoyed tone.
The guards looked at each other.
In this situation, if you are not careful, you may be injured at best or even die.
At this point, what good would it do even if we caught those two people who have been fanning the flames and adding fuel to the fire?
It is true that Sun Ji rice turns moldy and red.
The people saw it with their own eyes and even got a handful of it in their pockets, so it's true.
There was also an old lady named Xing in the county government who would rather be tortured than not file a lawsuit.
The active-minded security guard is already thinking about changing his master.
County government.
Magistrate Xu was just about to put the case on hold, detain Old Lady Xing, and wait for the evidence to be confirmed before conducting a trial, when he heard a deafening clamor outside the county government office.
The official came hurriedly to report, "Sir, the people outside the yamen claim that there is evidence that Sun Ji was selling poisoned rice, and they are willing to testify for Mrs. Xing."
"If you are carrying firewood for someone, you should not let him die suddenly in a snowstorm."
County Magistrate Xu's expression froze.
Were all the students in Changhe County involved in this matter?
He himself was a scholar who entered the officialdom through the imperial examination. He knew best how poisonous the tongues of scholars were and how sharp their pens were.
If the handling of this case is unpopular, his reputation as an official will also be affected.
"Sir, there are hundreds of witnesses." The officer reminded cautiously.
County Magistrate Xu glanced at Old Lady Xing, who was lying on the ground covered in blood, and gritted his teeth and said, "Move to the lobby, remove the fence outside the county government office, and allow the people to enter to listen to the trial."
"Yamen runners are responsible for maintaining order, but they must not harm the people."
"Lao Shi, go to the Sun family in person and call the head of the Sun family to come to the court."
County Magistrate Xu couldn't help but curse Sun Zhiye in his heart.
Fortunately, he used to think that Sun Zhiye had the potential to achieve great things.
In the end, he is just a fool who is short-sighted and unwilling to give up the small profit in front of him.
The Sun family is wealthy and can definitely afford the loss of a small granary of rice that gets damp and moldy!
But, what did Sun Zhiye do?
Is the Sun family so short of money?
Forget it, let Qingxing stay away from Sun Zhiye in the future.
So that Qingxing won’t do anything stupid that would make people laugh at him.
