Chapter Sixteen
"His surname is Qu, and his name is Qu Daniu. He is a villager in Xiatian Village. He usually makes a living by farming." The three of them looked at each other, and then the middle-aged woman spoke.
"I wonder if this uncle is right?" Rong Jingru continued to ask without waiting for the magistrate to speak.
"Girl, my surname is not Qu, I don't farm, and I don't know where the Xiatian Village is." When the uncle saw someone finally asking him, he immediately replied.
"My lord, you are so pitiful. Why can't you even remember your own name? It must have been that quack doctor who just made you stupid. Sir, you have to let the women of the country make the decision." The middle-aged woman took something out of her sleeve.
Handkerchief, pretending to wipe the unnecessary tears from the corners of the eyes.
The man and woman on the other side reacted quickly and looked angrily at Dr. Xiao who was standing beside him, "It's you who made my father not even remember his own son/niece."
The prefect got angry and slapped the crowd hard, "That's enough! You three are treating this place like a vegetable market."
"Come here, I will slap each of these three people twice hard. I want to see if you dare to make any noise." The prefect glanced back and forth at the three people with a sullen face.
"Sir, the women of the people/women of the people/the common people don't dare anymore." The three of them were immediately panicked, and no longer had the arrogance they had before.
"Uncle, the prefect and General Zhenbei are both here. If you have anything to say, just say it. I believe they will make the decision for you." Rong Jingru turned her head back and looked at the uncle again.
The Lord Magistrate was originally ready to scold Rong Jingru, after all, Rong Jingru now seemed to be taking over the guest's place, but when he saw General Zhenbei winking at him, he felt a little frightened, so he did not interrupt.
Now he wanted to see who the woman speaking was General Zhenbei, and how he could make General Zhenbei make an exception for him. Suddenly a thought flashed through his mind, and he probably guessed who the woman in front of him was General Zhenbei.
.
Because Rong Jingru had been paying attention to this case, she did not notice the previous changes in Jun Linfeng and the magistrate.
"The grassroots are prosperous, and I am working as a teacher at Qinglin Academy not far away. I heard from my friends that Molianju tastes good, so I wanted to come over and taste the food here. I didn't expect that I would have heart palpitations, and ended up being eaten by these people.
They are being used." Quan Wangxing first bowed to the prefect and General Zhenbei, and then said in a neither humble nor overbearing tone.
"If it weren't for that pill, the common man might still be lying on the cold ground right now." As he said that, Quan Wangxing turned his head and bowed to Dr. Xiao, and also expressed a slight apology.
"You're welcome. You should thank the officials for arriving in time so that I can give you the pill." Dr. Xiao felt that this courtesy was well deserved.
"Come, please go to Xiati Village and Qinglin Academy to check if there are two people, Qu Daniu and Quan Wangxing, and bring back a few more people by the way." The prefect thought for a while and said in a deep voice.
"Yes!" The policeman responded quickly and quickly left the lobby.
The three of them knelt on the ground, and their faces began to turn pale, because this was obviously different from what the man said before, but they still showed a posture of refusing to explain.
The prefect frowned unconsciously, but now he could only wait for the detective's investigation results to determine which of them was lying.
…
Rong Jingru was not ready to speak, but Mengmeng's cute voice reminded her all the time, so she had to give up the idea of just watching.
"Sir, can you let me continue to ask them a few questions?" Rong Jingru felt that she had been a little reckless just now. Why did the prefect still sit there, so she still had to give him some face.
Master Fu thought for a moment and settled on Rong Jingru's request. Besides, he didn't want to face General Zhenbei's cold look.
"This shopkeeper of Mo Lianju, do you think the three of them were sent by your competitors to disgust you?"
The shopkeeper thought for a while. It seemed that the business of the restaurant opposite Mo Lian Ju started to go downhill due to their appearance. It was not because they were jealous when their business was doing well, so they asked someone to come over and ruin the reputation of Mo Lian Ju.
, so he expressed his guess.
Rong Jingru felt that there was some truth to it. Even the prefect felt that this possibility was extremely high and sent people over to investigate.
At this moment, the policemen who went to Qinglin Academy and Xiatian Village had already returned to the Yamen.
Rong Jingru noticed that there were several people behind each of them.
"Look at the four people kneeling in front of you. Do you recognize them?"
"Sir, this is Master Quan, the master of our college."
"Haosheng, please take a look. Is this Quan Wangxing really the master of your academy?"
"My lord, it is indeed true," the other master replied.
"Then these three are his mother, son and niece?"
"No, because Master Quan's son is not that big. He is still a little boy of eight or nine years old." Several people who were called from Qinglin Academy shook their heads in unison.
As a result, the plan that the three of them had thought up before could not be used temporarily, because the secret might be exposed again.
Hearing this, the prefect still doesn't understand. In other words, Quan Wangxing suddenly fell ill and fainted in Mo Lianju, and was used by these three people with ulterior motives as a tool to frame Mo Lianju.
"Excuse me, are these three villagers from your Xiatian Village? And is there a man named Qu Daniu in your village?" Rong Jingru asked at the right time.
The few people who came in after the police saw that the prefect did not stop them and looked at them kindly. They looked at me and then at you. Finally, an older man stood up.
"Sir, the three of them are indeed villagers from our Xiatian Village. It's just that Qu Daniu unfortunately fell down the mountain and died a month ago." The man said.
"That's right, that's right, this man had to let his husband-in-law go up the mountain on a rainy day, otherwise Qu Daniu wouldn't have had an accident." Someone on the side immediately agreed.
"The three of them have similar temperaments. They usually like to be lazy and take advantage in our village. Especially Aunt Qu likes to be messy, and Qu Tiezhu is spoiled by his mother. He often does petty things, and she is her natal niece.
It's not a good thing. Usually when people see the three of them, they usually take a detour." The man who just spoke continued.
"Uncle Qian, it's not like that," Aunt Qu replied weakly.
It turns out that this slightly older man's surname is Qian, and he seems to have high prestige in the eyes of everyone, otherwise he would not be allowed to come out and reply.
"Crack!" the gavel sounded again.
"You three are so brave. You dare to lie in the lobby. Now you don't want me to recruit you!" The prefect's face darkened and he said coldly.
The three people did not expect that their lies would be exposed because of this beautiful woman's words, so they all looked at Rong Jingru fiercely.
When Jun Linfeng saw this, his expression immediately changed, and his eyes were filled with murderous intent.
The three of them had no doubt that if they looked at Rong Jingru again, they might suffer. It seemed that the rumors about General Zhenbei were true, but they still didn't know why they were kicked on the iron plate.
Already.
The Lord Magistrate felt that cold sweat broke out on his back. It seemed that his previous guesses were true. Fortunately, he did not do anything excessive, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Rong Jingru's heart was beating violently, and she was unconsciously fascinated by Jun Linfeng's eyes. Fortunately, she was still rational and knew where she was standing, so she only shook her head slightly.
Seeing the way Rong Jingru looked at him, Jun Linfeng had never felt that his face was so good-looking. It seemed that he could use more beauty tricks in the future.
"If you come, you will be punished. I want to see how long they will continue to be stubborn."
"I'll recruit, I'll recruit them all!" The young man just now, Qu Tiezhu, was scared. He was usually a bully and fearful of the strong. He had never seen such a huge rise, and he had long forgotten what his mother said.
Seeing that her son was hopeless, Aunt Qu couldn't help but reach out and pinch him hard, but Qu Tiezhu didn't dare to scream now.
"Sir, it was the shopkeeper of Xiangmanlou who handed over ten taels of silver to Xiaomin, saying that after the matter was completed, he would pay us another twenty taels of silver. When Xiaomin's mother knew about it, she brought her cousin over to perform.
This one comes out.
But we didn't expect that not long after we arrived at Mo Lianju, we met someone who fainted. We thought this was a great opportunity, and we didn't have to pretend to be dead, so we stopped the doctor from coming forward to take a pulse." Qu Tiezhu quickly told what he knew.
He said everything as if he had picked up the beans.
The prefect smiled expressionlessly. He didn't expect this man to be so frightened. He had known that he would be tortured as soon as he arrived in the lobby.
"It's over, it's all over now." Aunt Qu collapsed on the ground.
Rong Jingru sneered, because Mengmeng's cute voice sounded in her mind, and she knew that she had completed the system's task.
"How do you know that person is the shopkeeper of Xiangmanlou?" The prefect looked at Qu Tiezhu.
"After Cao Min received the ten taels of silver, he carefully followed him for a distance. He saw him going in directly from the back door of Xiang Man Building. Later, Cao Min asked Cao Min's mother to go there. Only then did he know that the man was Xiang Man.
The shopkeeper of the building."
"Shopkeeper Ning, it seems that they are jealous that you, Mo Lianju, have robbed their Xiangmanlou business, so this time they are targeting you, Mo Lianju, and Mr. Quan was taken as a flag by the three Qu family members. Fortunately, Mr. Xiao
The doctor treated him promptly and no one's life was in danger." The prefect said thoughtfully.
Shopkeeper Ning was also speechless, but the most innocent person among them was Quan Wangxing.
"This case was solved with your help. Based on your current situation, a manager with business acumen will be specially rewarded."
The system was so great that it actually helped her in times of need. She didn't know that the system was so considerate. She just wanted to do business, and this person was summoned to her.
If it weren't for the wrong place now, Rong Jingru would have said to Mengmeng, "I love you so much."
…
The police quickly brought the shopkeeper of Xiangmanlou to the lobby.
Although shopkeeper Yuan was worried that the matter would be exposed, his face did not change at all. When he came in, he first bowed respectfully to the magistrate, and then when he saw General Jun Linfeng of Zhenbei sitting beside him, he bowed to him again.
The prefect snorted coldly, "Qu Tiezhu, this is the person who gave you the ten taels of silver at that time."
Qu Tiezhu followed the magistrate's gaze and found that this man was the one who gave him the money that day.
"Sir, it's him who asked the common people to find someone to go to Mo Lianju to cause trouble. He also said that there would be a heavy reward after the incident was completed."
"Shopkeeper Yuan, can you plead guilty?"
"Sir, I wonder what crime Xiaomin has committed? Please look into it!" Although Shopkeeper Yuan saw the people inside clearly as soon as he entered the lobby, he would never admit it personally. After all, when he gave the money, he specifically asked for it.
I even specially changed my clothes to attract people who don’t usually go into the city.
"Qu Tiezhu just told you that he watched you enter through the back door of Xiangman Building."
Shopkeeper Yuan was so angry that he didn't expect that he was so wrong and that this person would secretly follow him behind his back.
Chapter completed!
