The Pastoral Empress Merchant

Chapter 438 Go to Jail (9)
"I'm not slandering you, thinking that no one will know about the incident after so long? Don't forget, there are still many old people in the village! They remember that you are grandpa's sister, and naturally they also remember that you did some things back then. What! As a daughter, you disobeyed your parents and eloped with someone before you got married regardless of your family's reputation. In my heart, it is unfilial, which is the second crime! Grandpa became ill because of your elopement, so that he passed away early, this is the third crime!"

"Many years later, you learned that the Mu family was no longer as poor as it used to be, so you thought about coming back as a relative to take advantage of it, or even take advantage of our Mu family's property! You are just guests, but you say it is your home to outsiders, Your house, your store! You even went to the store to withdraw 100 taels of silver. If you don’t ask for it, you are stealing! If you are convicted according to the value of the stolen goods, your crime is not small.”

Mu Jinxi sneered, and then said to the county magistrate sitting in the seat: "Master Xian, I've finished my questioning, you can continue the interrogation about the theft."

Xiao Xiao also said: "That's true. When I went to Mu's house that day, they opened their mouths and shut up and said that Mu's house was theirs or something. It can be seen that these people must have malicious intentions, so they came to visit relatives after so many years. It's just that the Mu family is rich now, and they want to be greedy."

"You are in the same group! Of course you helped to speak! I don't admit it, I absolutely don't admit what you said!"

"If you insist on throwing your face on the ground and letting others trample on it, then I will go back to Xiushui Village and ask the village chief to be a witness."

The old woman was startled, her drooping face twitched, and she looked at Mu Ankang, only to see him frowning, looking back at her with disgust and determination.

The old woman knew that this was the end of her life. What she did back then was exposed in public. How can she pretend that nothing happened in the future?How to use the status of relatives to make a fuss?If she had known that the Mu family had what it is today, she wouldn't have eloped back then!

Back then, my father insisted on marrying her to a family in the next village. The situation of that family was similar to theirs. Wouldn't it be hard for her to marry her all her life?It just so happened that a foreigner came to the village, he was from a relatively well-off family in the next town, so she used some means to seduce him. Although it was an elopement, the man still married herself as his wife, but who Not long after I knew it, there was an accident at home, not to mention the death of the man, and he left behind a whole pile of debts!Caused her to suffer for a lifetime!

If she had known this, she might as well have married the family in the next village back then, so now she would justifiably come to seek favors.

But even at this point, the old woman just avoided talking about this matter, and then kept insisting that her family was wronged, and if she insisted on saying that they were thieves, she would show evidence.

Seeing them like this, Mu Jinxi felt that they were really pitiful and stupid.Isn't it easy to get evidence for such a small matter?If she wasn't [-]% sure, did they think she impulsively sued them in a fit of anger?

"Bring witnesses to court!"

The old woman's family was stunned, and then looked at it, wishing they could faint to death immediately.

The person who brought it was the guy of the store.

The man was taken to the court in good condition, and he was so frightened that he couldn't wait for the county lord to ask, he told the matter honestly like a bamboo tube pouring beans, and said that this matter was their shopkeeper's idea , none of his business, he's just a boy.

Then the magistrate asked someone to bring the shopkeeper over, and when he saw this man, Old Mu let out a sigh.
