Chapter 30 Murder Case
"Come on, let me go in and bring the suspect out!"

At the village entrance of Wangjia Village, County Magistrate Zhang got off his horse, looked at several big wolf dogs at the entrance of the village for two seconds, and then decided to be prudent, how can he do things like arresting people himself, or let his subordinates Go ahead.

All the officials gasped.My lord, we just know how to punch and kick, not heroes like Zhan Zhao, we are your bear soldiers, we can't fly, this is definitely better than a dog, when the time comes we will not only catch You still have to reimburse us for medical expenses for work-related injuries.

Seeing that the officials were too timid to come forward, County Magistrate Zhang issued a death order, "If you can't bring anyone here in two quarters of an hour, don't come back either!"

The master next to County Magistrate Zhang stepped forward, with his gray temples covered, the old creases on his face trembling with a smile, and he said flatteringly: "My lord, I see there is a shed by the river over there, and there are tables and chairs. Why don't you move over there and wait, and leave these trivial matters to them."

After coaxing County Magistrate Zhang to move, he said to the officials again: "Are your brains left at home? My lord told you to bring people here, but didn't tell you to fight with the dogs. You can stand here and take them away." The village head of the village shouted out, let the village head take you in."

When the officials heard this, their eyes lit up.That's right, such a simple thing, why didn't I think of it before? !

After they yelled out the village chief and most of the people in the village, they still couldn't get in.

Just a joke, how could the people in Wangjia Village let them catch the bright moon?

After confronting each other for a stick of incense, the master still couldn't stand it anymore, so he took the initiative to walk to the entrance of the village and said to the person opposite: "Village chief, come here, since we have been dealing with each other for many years, I'd like to tell you some secrets first." .”

The village head raised his hand to signal to the villagers who were fighting with swords behind him to put down their hoes and kitchen knives. He walked up to the master and said very modestly and respectfully: "Master, tell me!"

However, the master's face suddenly changed, and with a wave of his hand, the three officials behind him immediately went forward and took down the village chief.

The village head was caught off guard and pressed to the ground, he raised his head and glared at the master, "You, I didn't make a mistake, you are abusing lynching and imprisoning innocent people!"

The villagers became even more angry. The village head they had always loved was treated so rudely. It was unbearable, so they raised their weapons and rushed forward to fight the officials.

"Stop! Otherwise, I will deal with your village chief now!"

The master drew a large knife from the waist of an official and put it on the neck of the village chief, and looked at the crowd indifferently.

The villagers saw that they couldn't ignore the village chief, so they slowly put down their weapons.

Isn't it all coming out!The master turned around and quickly ordered to the officials: "You divide into two teams. The first team will take down these troublemakers, and send a child to take the dog away. If you don't follow, the village chief and these troublemakers who hinder the adults from handling the case will be killed." executed, another team went in to arrest the suspect Mingyue."

The village head slapped the master viciously, "You sinister villain!"

As soon as the villagers put down the tools in their hands, they were escorted by the officials to kneel on the ground, and some officials even kicked the villagers several times too much.

Looking at this scene, the village head was crying silently in his heart.Why didn't lightning strike such a dog official of the common people?

At this time, County Magistrate Zhang slowly came to the village head, and said calmly, "It's not that he is sinister, but you are covering up the criminals. When I take Mingyue down, you will also be punished with sitting down."

At the direction of County Magistrate Zhang, the village chief was picked up from the ground by two officials, and his hands were trapped.

The village chief calmed down the anger on his face a little bit, and although he looked down on Zhang County Magistrate, he still couldn't be nakedly disgusted. The so-called people don't fight with officials, so he asked expressionlessly: "My lord, dare to ask Mingyue to commit a crime?" What crime? She has been staying in the village and has never been out, and she is busy farming every day."

"Hmph, village chief, you were deceived by her. Mingyue poisoned her mother-in-law and her neighbors. I came here only after receiving the pleadings and evidence."

The village chief and the villagers didn't believe it at all, and they saw Mrs. Mu this morning, which was clearly a slander.

"impossible."

"How is that impossible!" Mu Yunlian slowly got out of the carriage following this coquettish shout.

"I only found out last night when I received the news secretly sent by my cousin. Mingyue actually poisoned her mother-in-law, killing people. She also wanted to kill my two cousins. My cousin was risking his life." The news I sent is also the pleading paper that my cousin entrusted me to deliver to Mr. Zhang."

While talking, Mu Yunlian was already too sad to help herself.

"You can't go in!" At the gate of Mu's house, Mu Yunhe blocked the door with open arms, and roared at the rushing officials.

The officer curled his lips coldly, and directly pulled out the saber from his waist, "Boy, don't toast and refuse to drink fine wine, get out of the way, or we will decapitate you!"

"Oh! What a big tone, who dares?" Luo Da suddenly appeared beside Mu Yunhe like a ghost.

The officials had seen this person last night, and they were still very impressed. He was a person who could dispatch a large army with a wave of his hand. They were afraid of Luo Dashi and would no longer dare to act rashly.

"Sister-in-law, it's not good. The officials are here. I'm afraid I won't be able to stop them. Come out!" Mu Yuntian was much more cowardly than Mu Yunhe. When he saw the officials approaching from a distance, he started to lose his legs. Soft, leaning on the door frame, tears came out.

Mingyue in the room was sweating profusely, "Muyun, please hurry up."

"Xiaomeng, when will the Gu worms come out? Is there a way to force them out quickly?"

Xiaomeng is also in a hurry, it feels like its forehead is sweating, "Master, I have no choice but to wait, but soon."

It was worried about affecting Mingyue, so it didn't tell Mingyue what happened at the entrance of the village, but the officials who came to the door couldn't ignore it. When it was about to report the distance of the officials and let Mingyue prepare for the battle, it suddenly froze.

At this time, Mrs. Mu came behind Mu Yuntian wearing a black dress and leaning on a fire stick with her hair disheveled. She raised her eyes and looked at the officials calmly, and asked coldly, "Why do you want to catch the bright moon?"

"She poisoned her mother-in-law and her neighbors!"

After hearing the words of the leader, the old lady Mu smiled leisurely, and her cold and gloomy laughter drifted away with a gust of east wind, and then she told the officer clearly word by word: "I am Mingyue's mother-in-law. mother!"

It was foggy this morning, and the fog is still thick until now, so the image and voice of Mrs. Mu seem very appropriate to the occasion, making people think of a haunted picture book.

A few officials felt that their thighs were a little cramped.

The leader swallowed his saliva, feeling very uncertain in his heart, and scolded in a fluttering voice: "Unreasonable people, don't play tricks. Mingyue's brother-in-law sued her for poisoning her mother-in-law. How could a dead person stand here?"

"Hmph, how do you know I'm human?" Old lady Mu said leisurely.

Mu Yuntian was speechless, still staring at the officer warily, and said to the old lady behind him with a trembling voice: "Mom, you go back to the house first."

He had the guts to stare at the officials and asked, "Second brother and I have never been out. Someone pretended to be our name and slandered my sister-in-law. You arrested the wrong person."

Only then did the officials remember.That's right, Mingyue brought these two younger uncles to the court that day. This man is Mingyue's younger uncle, and everyone said it was all right, so did my lord make a mistake?This person is alive, so the person behind him should not be a ghost!

The officials looked at each other in blank dismay, all in a daze.

However, their leader was still persistent, "Then there is the matter of Mingyue harming her neighbors. Anyway, she must come with us today."

"If the poor monk doesn't let me!" Miao Yuan suddenly descended from the sky in a white monk's robe and stood in front of Mu Yuntian.

The officials were even more confused.No, Master?why are you hereWhy is the fog so evil today, can you still summon the monk?
The officials saw this monk in the court that day, and knew Mrs. Mu and His Excellency were respectful and polite to this monk, so they looked at each other, then slowly withdrew their knives, and sent a person to the village entrance to ask for instructions from County Magistrate Zhang. How to deal with it is an emergency situation, and they can't make decisions on their own.

Seeing someone guarding the door, Mrs. Mu stepped forward and said, "Little Tian, ​​help me follow them to see the adults. I want to see who is slandering my daughter-in-law!"

The officials thought: This is fine, if you can bring someone back, it is considered a job.

Therefore, the officials who were divided into two groups hurriedly gathered together, and took the old lady Mu and the two brothers from the Mu family to the entrance of the village in a mighty way.

When Mrs. Mu arrived at the entrance of the village, she happened to hear Mu Yunlian repeating the words that her aunt died wronged and asked the adults to make decisions for her.

"Who happened?" An energetic voice interrupted Mu Yunlian's sorrow.

Mu Yunlian was just a jittery spirit, following the prestige with eyes full of horror.

Everyone made way for Mrs. Mu and the brothers of the Mu family.

Seeing the person approaching with Mu Yuntian's arm, Mu Yunlian blurted out the words, "How is that possible?"

Old lady Mu snorted coldly, "Mu Yunlian, what's the matter? Are you disappointed that I didn't die? Are you curious? Curious why I drank the poisonous tea you gave me three times a day, but when the time you set came, I couldn't drink it. Haven't gone to see Hades yet?"

Mu Yunlian's legs were weak, and she was supported by Nanny Jin so that she didn't directly collapse on the ground.

Nanny Jin shouted: "Second Madam, you can't slander others without evidence!"

Mrs. Mu ignored Nanny Jin, frowned and glanced at the folks who were being escorted and kneeling on the ground, then glanced lightly at the people watching the excitement, and finally fixed her eyes on the face of County Magistrate Zhang, and said, "Everyone! Neighbors and folks, you should know who Mingyue is. She is kind, honest, hardworking and down-to-earth. Thanks to marrying such a daughter-in-law, our shepherd family has brought good luck. I have been taught by her to become better. Now, my body is better than before by Mingyue. Mingyue still wakes up early and greedily opens up wasteland and farms. How can she poison people like this? All of this is framed by others. My lord, The women want to sue Mu Yunlian for slander!"

Mu Yunlian cried, "Auntie, it's good that you are fine. I was also deceived. I didn't want to slander my cousin. No, auntie, I almost forgot the business. Today I brought adults to help my cousin and Mingyue get along with each other. Let's leave, didn't we agree?"

"What did you say?"

Old lady Mu interrupted her in a cold voice, "Such a good daughter-in-law, how much water do I have to get in my head to let her reconcile with my son?"

Mu Yunlian choked, and even forgot to pretend to cry, only to be belatedly aware of her aunt's abnormality.

Magistrate Zhang glared at Mu Yunlian.This is your foolproof?
Mu Yunlian lowered her eyes and said nothing, she didn't know how her aunt wasn't poisoned?
County magistrate Zhang slapped the table, "Come here, Mrs. Mu wants to sue Mu Yunlian for slander. According to the law, the person who sues will be hit with [-] boards first, and only after the beating is finished will he be eligible to speak."

The crowd stayed.

The village head knelt on the ground and straightened his strong neck, and said: "My lord, according to the law, in the case of suing officials or suing superiors, you have to hit [-] boards first, and what the old lady Mu is suing is not official."

County magistrate Zhang gave the village chief a cold look.Who made you study the law?Know more than I do?
At this time, people from the village and some people from other villages who came to see the excitement gathered around.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, County Magistrate Zhang felt very humiliated. He slapped the table and said, "Come here, give me a call. These unscrupulous people obstruct me from handling the case. Let's hit ten boards first."

Then, he issued another order, "Go and arrest Mingyue. Someone accused her of poisoning the neighbors. Go and invite the sufferer. I will avenge the people today. This kind of slander by the shepherd is too small. Master, you go Trial."

Everyone who watched the excitement was speechless.When they came, more than a dozen people who were with the village chief had already been arrested, so they reluctantly believed the county magistrate Zhang's words of obstructing the case, but, my lord, can you still pick and choose?Do you think this is a seat, you can pick and choose the food, and you can throw it to the dog if you don't like it, but the case can still be tried? !
