Chapter 255 What is the hook rail?
The old Taoist priest waved his hand, and his sleeve brushed across Yiwen's shoulder. She staggered and then recovered her movement.
But her eyes were wandering even more fiercely at this moment, and it was obvious that she was thinking about how to deal with it.
"Miss?" The old Taoist priest called her kindly, "Can you explain this to me?"
Huai'er looked at her in surprise.
The Yu family was also confused and didn't know what to say.
They naturally believed the old Taoist priest's words, which meant... it was this Yiwen who cheated?!
Now, even the county magistrate frowned and looked at Yiwen, obviously waiting for her to give an explanation.
"The story of the virgin kung fu is so absurd..." Yiwen said reluctantly, "It must have been made up by this old Taoist priest... How can we take it seriously..."
Compared to the old Taoist priest's well-founded arguments, Yiwen's words were really unconvincing.
In addition, although Yiwen's acting skills were superb before, she was suddenly caught off guard by the old Taoist priest, and her words and actions naturally showed it.
Now everyone has doubts in their hearts, and seeing her various behaviors, they are becoming more and more suspicious.
"In addition, there is one more thing," the old Taoist said gently with a kind face, "Just now I heard a few words said by someone in the crowd, and I was quite confused."
Having said that, the old Taoist priest looked straight at Meng Yunchang.
Meng Yunchang's face was extremely bad before, as he never expected that this revenge would be successful so soon. However, just when he was about to take a step forward, his plan was exposed by an old Taoist priest who appeared out of nowhere!
He was feeling angry, and when he saw the old Taoist priest looking at him, his heart skipped a beat and he had a bad feeling.
"The young man, the one wearing a royal blue sash." The old Taoist priest stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation, "How about you please come forward and tell us what you said to the girl next to you earlier?"
Meng Yunchang's expression changed immediately!
But he quickly calmed himself down and forced a smile: "You old man, you are talking about me?"
The old Taoist nodded: "That's right."
Meng Yunchang, however, shouted in the court: "Brother-in-law, this old Taoist priest with a big nose is here to cause trouble. Why do you care about what he does?"
The county magistrate was a little troubled and annoyed.
It would have been fine if the brother-in-law came to join in the fun, but why did he suddenly point out their relationship in court? It was obvious that he wanted him to endorse him.
...Back to the topic, why did this old Taoist priest suddenly point out his brother-in-law?
The county magistrate was struggling with the matter, but the old Taoist priest just laughed out loud: "So he is your brother-in-law, no wonder he is so arrogant!"
The county magistrate's face changed, and he was about to ask for blame, but he heard the old Taoist change his tone: "...your lover is going to marry a bastard from a kiln, are you happy? He would rather marry a bastard than you, aren't you even more despicable than the bastard from the kiln?"
He imitated Meng Yunchang's accent perfectly, even his voice was 80% similar!
It was exactly the voice of Meng Yunchang just now!
Everyone in and out of the hall suddenly changed their expressions!
Even Meng Yunchang had a look of shock on his face!
The voice he just spoke was close to Li Xuefeng, and he spoke in a very low voice to ensure that no one else could hear it!
Then how did this old Taoist with a big nose hear it and imitate it word for word so perfectly!
In the silence, Xing Xing's curious voice came: "Grandma, what is a kiln?"
At that moment, it was so quiet both inside and outside the court that one could hear a pin drop, and Xingxing's question was clearly heard by everyone.
Mrs. Wei was so shocked by the news that she was speechless. After Xingxing asked this question, Mrs. Wei finally came to her senses. She thought that their whole family had been fooled by a prostitute, and their grandson had been framed and imprisoned by this prostitute. They even almost married this prostitute home as their eldest grandson's wife!
His face looked so ugly!
She looked at Yiwen with hatred, but did not forget to answer Xingxing. Grandma Wei's voice was a little hoarse: "My dear grandson, you are still young. You will understand when you grow up."
Meng Yunchang also came to his senses and roared, "What nonsense! Don't think you can slander me just by pretending to have my voice—"
Before he finished, Xingxing suddenly exclaimed "Ah", somewhat happily, and could not help but raise her voice a little: "Xingxing remembered! Xingxing finally remembered where she had seen that sister before!"
No wonder she always felt that this sister looked familiar!
Xingxing pointed her little finger at Yiwen, whose face was pale and panic-stricken, and said innocently, "Xingxing went to my third aunt's house in the city during the Chinese New Year and saw this sister on the way to the city! At that time, a vicious mother-in-law had someone throw this sister out of the gate of the mansion, saying that she was a vixen who came out of the brothel and wanted to be their aunt!"
After that, she curiously asked Mrs. Wei, "Grandma, what is a hook rail?"
Xingxing's words caused an uproar!
No one would suspect a four or five-year-old child of talking nonsense about such things!
She doesn't even know what hooking is!
Mrs. Wei was so excited that she couldn't speak in a coherent way: "Yes, yes, that's right! I still remember the approximate location of that family. I can just ask them when the time comes!"
She wished she could incorporate Xing Xing into her own flesh and blood!
Her good grandson is indeed the lucky star of their family!
The old Taoist priest glanced at Xing Xing with approval and said, "It seems that we have found out the origin of this girl. She should be from the state capital. When the time comes, you can send someone to check with the portrait and we will know—"
Having said that, it is only a matter of time to find out Yiwen's origins.
Many people outside the court were talking about it: "It turned out to be the kiln girl!"
"No wonder the test showed that I was not innocent. Isn't this funny? It's better to believe that I am the god of literature incarnate than to believe that Yaojie is innocent!"
"This is too much. Are they deliberately trying to mess with the Yu family? Letting them marry a prostitute, even if they find out that she is that kind of woman, the Yu family will lose all face!"
The people were talking about it.
Yiwen's legs went limp and she fell to the ground.
She looked at Meng Yunchang with some despair: "——Meng Lang, you, you said there was no problem..."
When these words came out, the county magistrate was so angry that his nose was crooked!
When he heard the old Taoist priest imitating his brother-in-law's speech just now, he had a bad feeling.
With the current situation, he must be aware of it!
This is most likely a trap set by his brother-in-law!
The county magistrate is simply out of his mind!
"you--"
The county magistrate stared at Meng Yunchang, not knowing what to say!
Meng Yunchang calmed down quickly. Things had come to this point and couldn't get any worse.
Meng Yunchang still refused to plead guilty: "Brother-in-law, they framed me."
Meng Yunchang was very open-minded. As long as he refused to plead guilty, the retrial would be postponed. Then his sister could help him and persuade him, and he would be acquitted soon.
What is he afraid of?
Just refuse to plead guilty.
The county magistrate laughed in anger and threw down the token: "First, arrest Meng Yunchang! I will investigate Yiwen's identity and then proceed with the trial!"
At this point, it can be basically proven that Huai Ge'er was framed and wrongly accused.
The county magistrate almost vomited blood when he thought of the evil deeds done by his brother-in-law.
At this moment, many people were wondering whether he was going to cover up for the young man named Yu and kill him unjustly.
The county magistrate had a gloomy face and didn't care about anything else. He quickly sentenced Huai Ge'er not guilty and released him.
