Chapter 444 Resolved
"It's him, it's He Er. He is greedy for money. He knew that our family has a bad relationship with Ji's family because of his daughter, so he forced us to take out the money. He said, if he dares to do it, it depends on whether we have the courage to take advantage of it." A chance for revenge."

"Lord Zhifu, we were all instigated by He Er. Xiaomin has lived in the countryside all his life, so how dare he do such a bold thing, Lord Zhifu, please forgive me."

"You're talking nonsense! Li Shi, how dare you wrong me, obviously you came to me and gave me 50 taels for me to burn down Ji's warehouse. If it wasn't for the money, would I have taken the risk to do this beheading thing? "

"You encouraged us just for 50 taels. Since Hongmei passed away, our family has never done anything against Ji's family. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't be stupid this time." Li grabbed He Er tightly , put the blame on him.

Arson is a capital crime?
She didn't want to die, and she didn't want to die.

During the quarrel between the two, Li Dacai and Li Dahu's daughter-in-law, son and daughter were all brought here.

"My lord, Li Dahu, the son of the Li family, is not in the village. I heard from the villagers that Li Dahu often haunts the town. Do you want to send someone to arrest him?"

"No, you step back first." Fang Zhifu waved his hand.

"Yes."

The yamen servant retreated, and the Li family members who were brought over were terrified when they heard the words of Li Shi and He Er clinging to each other, they knelt on the ground with a bang, and shouted for mercy.

"My lord, that person is Li Dacai, Li's husband, that woman is Li's daughter-in-law, and the two younger ones are Li Dahu's children." The master reminded beside him.

"Li Dacai, can you admit that your family burned down Ji's granary?"

Li Dacai didn't expect that the magistrate would ask the crime as soon as he opened his mouth. His face was pale, sweat rolled down his forehead, and he didn't react for a long time.

It wasn't until Li Shi twisted the soft flesh around his waist that he suddenly remembered his situation. He looked at He Er and followed Li Shi: "My lord, grass people dare not plead guilty. I was really bewitched by He Er this time." , although my old lady is confused, she also knows that this matter cannot be done, so even though she participated in it under the threat of He Er, she didn't dare to do it, so her leg was not injured."

"With a grown-up around, I can tell at a glance that she is pretending. If he really wants to burn down the granary, how dare he put such a large amount of evidence on the surface."

It has to be said that Li Dacai is smarter than He Er, maybe they plotted He Er from the beginning.

He Er was paid to light the fire in front. Although they participated in it, they were able to get rid of the crime of the mastermind.

However, how can Li Dacai's family firmly believe that nothing will happen to them.

After all, all fools know that what the Li family says doesn't make sense.

She was thinking about it when she suddenly heard Song Zhihe say: "Lord Fang, the Li family is right. They are from Xinghua Village. They had so many opportunities to burn down the warehouse of Ji's family before. Why did you join in today?"

"He Er looks like a greedy person. It's normal to do this kind of thing for money."

"Lord Fang, I heard that this He Er owed money to the gambling house in the town, could it be because of this..." Ji Hanyang, who had been silent all this time, also vaguely reminded.

As soon as He Er saw that the high officials spoke for the Li family, he felt that the sky was falling, so he opened his mouth and said, "Master Zhifu, Xiaomin was wronged, it was the Li family, Li Dahu plotted against me, and Li Dahu said before Xiaomin is really wronged if he loses a high official."

"Lord Fang, this troublemaker really dares to say anything." Song Zhihe took a sip of tea calmly, his voice slightly cold.

Ji Qingyue has already guessed something.

The Li family might have gained the Song family's relationship, Fang Zhifu must have the bottom line now, knowing that this matter is not necessarily what the Li family said, but now the matter is on the table.

Song Zhihe wanted to help the Li family, and He Er was indeed the one who set the fire. The Li family's explanation probably made sense, after all, they did not have conclusive evidence.

Unless you can get evidence of the cooperation between the Li family and the Song family, and talk to He Er.

There needs to be a witness inside, but He Er is stupid and doesn't know how to hide. Now that the Song family is exposed, Fang Zhifu has no way to really interrogate the Song family.

If He Er is smart, even if he is caught in prison, if he finds an opportunity to contact the Li family and find evidence, he may be able to turn around.

Unfortunately, no if.

"Although what he said may not be true, but I believe that there is nothing wrong with it, and someone will come."

"Take them all to the prison in the county seat and wait for their release."

The faces of the Li family members changed, and they wanted to beg for mercy again, but those yamen servants were fierce and took them away directly.

They didn't even dare to call out members of the Song family. They were all officials. Even if they said they supported this matter, they were not stupid. They definitely couldn't say it at this time.

The two children of the Li family don't know, and neither does the daughter-in-law, Li Zhaoshi. When the two children cry, she feels distressed, but Li Zhaoshi has no sense of presence in the Li family. People, she was panicked at this moment, but she didn't dare to say anything, so she could only leave with the yamen servant.

A farce temporarily resolved.

Fang Zhifu stood up: "Ji Xiucai, this time the rice seeds were contributed by your family, and I will report all of them to the emperor."

"As for the arson case, I have already accepted it, so you don't need to worry about it."

"Since the rice seeds have been taken away, I will go back first."

"Congratulations to the magistrate."

Ji Qingyue stood with Ji Chenyuan and sent away Fang Zhifu and his party.

"Phew, they're finally gone." Although the prefect's senses were good, Song Zhi and his party displeased Ji Qingyue very much, and she had to be on guard all the time when they were around.

This time, fortunately, she was alerted that the Li family was going to play tricks before, so she found someone to keep watch, and put the things in the warehouse into the cellar in advance.

In fact, she dug the cellar temporarily and started construction at night. Fortunately, Ji's family is all hers, otherwise she might not be able to hide it from the Li family.

"Well, this is over."

Ji Qingyue looked at him in surprise: "Father, let's leave this matter alone?"

The Li family hasn't been punished yet, if they treat them lightly in the future, wouldn't it embarrass those people?
Their family's family business will grow bigger and bigger in the future, and if necessary, they will use ruthless means to reduce troubles.

"The Li family won't come back." Ji Chenyuan looked into the distance indifferently.

"what?"

Ji Chenyuan reached out and patted her head lovingly: "Since the Li family chooses to cooperate with the Song family, they dare not go back to the village."

"There were so many people watching in the village before, and they all regarded everyone as fools. Now the Li family's reputation is already rotten, not to mention they dare not come back. We are still here. When the Song family leaves, we will clean up Li's family. Is it difficult to get home?" Ji Chenyuan carried a sense of pride.
