Farmers' group pet: the blessings of powerful ministers are soft and deceitful

Chapter 403
On the high hall, Du Hongbo had already changed into a set of official uniforms, and the seat where the master was originally sitting was also replaced by Xue Chengren.

The master moved a table and placed it at a lower position, carefully recording it.

The old lady and Jiang Mu knelt on one side, and Shen Chenlan's family knelt on the other.

Originally, Shen Chenlan was a scholar, so he didn't have to kneel down even if he saw an official, but after weighing it up, he knelt down together.

If you don't kneel, how can you pretend to be pitiful?

Du Hongbo glanced at the people below, and after a while, he said: "Who is in the hall, why are you making trouble in the street?"

The old lady had already said it once in the street, and when the official asked again, she said what she had just said again.

After all, they just talked about how unfilial the eldest son was, and how miserable her life was, without even mentioning the farce of going to other people's shops to cry and shout today.

The old lady was too wordy and blurred the point, so Du Hongbo slapped the gavel and said, "Just answer the officer's question, don't talk too much about anything else, if you violate it, you will be punished first!"

After all, Du Hongbo was also a fifth-rank official appointed by the imperial court, and he was full of style, and when he sat in the high hall, his posture came out.

The gavel slapped, and the old lady couldn't help trembling: "My lord, my name is Gao Cuixiang, I'm married to Huatian Village, Zhaohe Town... I, I didn't make trouble, I asked the boss for money for today's matter, If he doesn't give it, I will..."

"Next!" Du Hongbo didn't have so much time to listen to her ramblings, so he sternly stopped her and told her to replace her.

Jiang Mu has been praised by many people for his cleverness since he was a child, even if he encountered that kind of thing back then, he was not afraid.

But being an official is different from the poor people after all, and he is not allowed to play tricks.

He knelt under the hall, his calf shaking like sifting chaff, and he couldn't speak fluently: "I...my name is Jiang Mu. Today, today, my mother told me to come here, so I...followed me, and I saw it later. Big brother... big brother doesn't give money..."

Du Hongbo frowned when he heard these words intermittently.

What's even more exciting is that when Gao Cuixiang heard that his youngest son blamed her for all the crimes, his face was full of disbelief.

Although she had long intended to help Xiao'er take the blame, but Xiao'er pushed her out without the slightest hesitation, which made her feel a little chilled.

Du Hongbo lost his patience, and said again: "Next!"

If it was placed more than a year ago, Jiang Shi might be as worthless as Jiang Mu when he met the official, but I don’t know if he has followed Shen Chenlan a lot, and learned a little from his calm and mature appearance. Also like that.

In addition, he is now in a fit of anger, and he never thought that he should be nervous.

He leaned down, kowtowed his head on the ground, and said, "My lord, the name of the grassroots is Jiang Shi. He used to be Gao Cuixiang's eldest son and Jiang Mu's elder brother. But 13 years ago, we had already severed our relationship. People swept away their property and flew away. The head of Huatian Village can testify to this."

Du Hongbo listened calmly, and he didn't get angry at what he said beyond the question.

He just said lightly, "Next."

Lin Ru and Jiang Ning also introduced their names and their relationship with everyone present step by step, but they didn't say much about what happened today.

When it was Liniang's turn, Du Hongbo looked over and said, "It's your turn."

Liniang didn't expect that one day she would be able to retell the old things from that year.

She reached out and grabbed her dress.

Regardless of the final result, she must seize the opportunity today.
