Chapter 48 Sue the Murderer
In fact, with such a big inn, Aunt Yu alone couldn't manage it to a state where people can live in it so quickly. She has helpers, but she doesn't speak for the master about things that the master doesn't say.

"Do you have any other orders?"

Xie Mingzhu asked, "Where do you put the beans I bought today, I want to soak them for a tofu feast tomorrow."

"I'll get it"

Aunt Yu turned around and left the kitchen, went to the storage room, and took out all kinds of beans that Xie Mingzhu bought today.

At this moment, a small yellow and white wild cat tentatively stood at the door of the kitchen and gave a soft "meow~".

Xie Mingzhu heard the little cat's cry, squatted down excitedly, and reached out to the little yellow cat.

"Little cat~ come here."

The little wild cat is not afraid of strangers, it squats down in front of Xie Mingzhu with its kitten steps.

Xie Mingzhu stretched out her hand and scratched the top of the little wild cat's head, and the little wild cat squinted its beautiful little cat's eyes comfortably.

"Qin Che, let's raise this cat!"

Xie Mingzhu didn't wait for Qin Che to finish speaking, and continued to persuade Qin Che, saying: "This little cat is very good at catching mice."

"What name do you want to name it?" Qin Che asked.

Xie Mingzhu said without hesitation: "Fortune!"

"Fortune?" Qin Che asked in confusion.

Xie Mingzhu asked suspiciously, "Do you think it's too vulgar to recruit money?"

"No." Qin Che softly echoed, "Then it's a fortune."

Xie Mingzhu called softly: "Zhaocai, this will be your home from now on, you must work hard."

Xie Mingzhu was about to reach out to pick up Xiaozhaocai, when Aunt Yu appeared and snatched Xiaozhaocai, fearing that the dirty things on Xiaoyemao's body would get on Xie Mingzhu's body.

"Madam, I'll take a bath for Zhaocai first, and I'll hug you later."

Xie Mingzhu didn't stop her, she saw very clearly just now that Xiao Zhaocai's body was indeed dirty.

After Aunt Yu left with Xiao Zhaocai in her arms, Xie Mingzhu deftly picked out some bad or moldy beans from the soybeans and put them aside so that she could feed the chickens.

Qin Che also followed Xie Mingzhu to help.

It was getting dark.

The setting sun shone through the windows of the kitchen, shining on the faces of Xie Mingzhu and Qin Che.

The shadows behind them are intertwined, like a pair of intimate lovers.

After picking out the beans, Xie Mingzhu and Qin Che soaked the soybeans in clean water.

"Do you want to take a walk?" Qin Che asked.

Xie Mingzhu nodded slightly.

The two walked slowly along the river, towards the direction of the setting sun.

The evening in the county town is completely different from the evening in Xiejia Village.

Walking and walking, the two arrived at the county government office.

At this moment, the county government office was crowded with people, and Xie Mingzhu and Qin Che also rushed past along with the crowd.

"What happened?" Qin Che asked.

"There was an old woman who sued the Gou family, robbed the women, and burned her own family to death!"

Xie Mingzhu: "..."

Qin Che asked, "The Gou family? Which Gou family?"

"Gou Yuanwai from Fengxiang Town."

As soon as Xie Mingzhu heard this, she guessed that this Gou family was the same family as Gou Yuanwai who wanted to steal her own tofu recipe.

Standing here, Qin Che and Xie Mingzhu heard the ins and outs of the incident from the mouths of the onlookers.

The combination of old and new grudges made me feel that I should help the old lady, and asked softly, "Qin Che, I want to help her."

When the housekeeper wanted to forcibly snatch away the tofu recipe, Qin Che had people check the Gou family's numerous criminal evidence.

The Gou family thought that Xie Mingzhu was a lamb that could be slaughtered, but they didn't know that there was him behind Xie Mingzhu.

"How do you want to help?" Qin Che asked.

There is no litigator here who specializes in litigation for others. If there is, she can also ask a litigator to help the old woman with the lawsuit.

"Mingzhu, since the old lady has gone to court, the only thing we can do now is to trust the county magistrate, and believe that he will not do something that is worthy of the words "clear mirror hangs high."

As soon as Qin Che said this, the surrounding people all talked well about the county magistrate.

"Our adults are fair!"

"I lost a chicken before, but adults helped me find it."

"Last time, a human trafficker came to the county to steal children, and he was also caught by the county magistrate."

Xie Mingzhu couldn't help feeling that a county magistrate who is so supported by the common people is a good official.

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

The old woman above the court thought that she had managed to escape death in this life, but she would never be able to avenge her daughter, but she didn't know that someone would find her and could avenge her.

In her life, hope was rekindled.

She is someone who died once.

She is not afraid of death.

She was afraid that after she died, how would she face the whole family in the underworld?

Xie Mingzhu stood on tiptoe and glanced at the old woman in the courtroom. The old woman was bent over, half of her face was burned by the fire.

Even so, she still calmly faced the scrutiny of the onlookers.

Xie Mingzhu and Qin Che stood in the crowd, watching Gou Yuanwai and his son being brought to court.

When the county magistrate told the whole case, Gou said in a choked voice: "Nonsense! My lord, please make the decision for the grassroots!"

The old woman never expected that Gou Yuanwai would deny it so categorically.

"The surname is Gou, people are doing it, and the sky is watching. Are you not afraid that your children and grandchildren will have retribution?"

Gou Yuanwai sneered triumphantly and said with contempt: "What retribution are you afraid of for something you haven't done?"

His daughter is the seventh aunt of the sheriff.

Can a mere county magistrate outperform the sheriff?
"You..." The old woman was too angry to speak.

The county magistrate slapped the gavel and said, "Certificate of succession!"

The yamen servant pushed the housekeeper of Gou's mansion to the court, and Yuanwai and his son were stunned when they saw the housekeeper.

Gou Yuanwai threatened: "Butler, are you here? Your family has been looking for you!"

The butler trembled in fright.

He knew that the butler was threatening him, but he couldn't help it.

Anyway, it's just a death, and he has to think about his little grandson at home.

"My lord, the Caomin is Gou Dong, the steward of the Gou Mansion, known as Gou Si. The surname Gou was given to the Caomin by the master!"

"Ten years ago, Gou Yuanwai fell in love with a daughter of a chai weng, and paid a lot of money to hire him. However, the chai weng refused. In a rage, he snatched the girl away and forced her to commit herself to him. She swore to die. No!"

"Seeing that his daughter was so tough, he set a fire and burned the family to death."

"As for the girl who was imprisoned by him in Gou's house, she hanged herself to death because of her strong temper."

Gou Yuanwai panicked, he never thought that the loyal housekeeper would turn his back on the battle at this moment.

"My lord, he is talking nonsense!" Gou Yuanwai did not hesitate to pour dirty water on the housekeeper, saying: "This man is a runaway slave from his family, what he said is not credible."

The butler subconsciously looked at a figure in the crowd, and kowtowed tremblingly.

"My lord, what the Caomin said is true. If there is even half a sentence of falsehood, the Caomin will be struck by lightning from the sky, and their children and grandchildren will be cut off."

 Baby, it’s a new day, please recommend a ticket, ask for a monthly ticket~
