Chapter 136 Inquiries (3)
"Defendant Mrs. Xia, Qin Shouyi accused you of assault with intent to kill. There are all witnesses and material evidence. Are you pleading guilty?" County magistrate Zhang looked at Mrs. Xia who was kneeling on the ground, and asked in a deep voice.

"Hehe." Lady Xia has been in a strange state since she bit Po Xia.She just kept laughing, her eyes were radiating to the roof, and she didn't speak like a fool.

"Mistress Xia, are you attacking Zhao Yun on purpose and intending to kill her?" Magistrate Zhang frowned and spoke again.

"She must think so! Your magistrate, this vicious woman stabbed my son and bit me! Your magistrate, you have to make the decision for me!" Seeing that Mrs. Xia was silent, Mrs. Xia was afraid Unable to convict her, she couldn't help but fell forward, crying loudly.

"Bold! The county magistrate is interrogating Mrs. Xia, who are you, to disturb the court!" The gentleman raised his eyebrows and asked sharply.

Mrs. Xia was startled, she immediately lowered her head, and explained again and again: "I am Mrs. Xia, Mrs. Xia is my daughter-in-law. This poisonous woman stabbed my son this morning and almost killed him. Later she bit me again." , please be the master!"

County magistrate Zhang raised his eyebrows, but in the complaint, he didn't mention anything about Mrs. Xia at all.He looked at Lizheng inquiringly, and Lizheng took a step forward, cupped his hands and said, "Master Xia, Mrs. Xia is indeed Mrs. Xia's mother-in-law, and the wound on her neck was indeed bitten by Mrs. Xia. At that time, the villain happened to I was there. However, the villain brought her to the county office today not because of the grievances between her and Mrs. Xia, but because of another case of a missing baby girl. Granny Xia is the biggest suspect."

"The case of a missing baby girl?" County magistrate Zhang was puzzled for a moment, and asked, "Did you report it to the officials before?" , as long as no one formally files a complaint, County Magistrate Zhang will treat it as ignorant.

Li Zheng bowed, "Yes. The family who lost the baby girl is a villager named Qi in Banglan Village. On the tenth day of March, the villain accompanied the sufferer to the county government. Today, a villager reported that the baby girl was It was stolen by Mrs. Xia, and then monopolized by Xia Po, and the villain brought her along with her."

Xia Pozi's face turned pale, "Master Lizheng, what nonsense are you talking about! Don't wrong people!"

Li Zheng's expression remained unchanged, "Is it wrong, I believe the county magistrate will learn from it."

"It's you! It's you, right? I knew you didn't like me, but you made up a lie to frame me, it's really hateful!" Xia Pozi glared fiercely at a woman who came with Zhao Yun and the others, He said harshly.

That woman was the one who met Mrs. Xia while visiting relatives. She was not afraid of Mrs. Xia, "Don't do anything wrong, and don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door. Why are you so nervous, Mrs. Xia?"

"Bitch! You hurt me!" Xia Pozi panted heavily, looking a little panicked.She didn't want to come to the county government office, but was detained by Li Zheng, so she couldn't come if she didn't come.But after thinking about it, it would be a good thing to ask the county magistrate to take charge of that poisonous lady Xia's skin cramps after she came, so she didn't struggle much.But now, seeing that she was about to get in, Xia Po's expression turned ferocious again.

"quiet!"

Magistrate Zhang frowned, knocked down the gavel and scolded Mrs. Xia.He has been an official for five or six years and has met many people.How could he not see how Mrs. Xia was obviously guilty?
"My lord, it is true that on the tenth day of March, there was a miser surnamed Qi who reported the loss of a baby girl. Now Catcher Lin is still leading people to investigate, but they still haven't found out the whereabouts of the baby girl." The clerk at the side flipped through the file. , stepped forward and whispered to Zhang County Magistrate.

County Magistrate Zhang nodded knowingly, waved him away, and ordered the yamen servant: "Press Xia Po down for trial, and bring her to court after this case is over!"

Stealing a baby is a serious crime, and now there is a victim. As a parent official, County Magistrate Zhang must seriously investigate it.Intentional homicide is a felony. Although it is attempted, the sentence will be lighter, but Mrs. Xia's behavior must be sentenced to at least three years.

Zhao Yun watched the yamen servant step forward to drag Mrs. Xia, without any sympathy in her heart.What kind of choice a person makes, what kind of consequences he has to bear.She doesn't understand why Miss Xia would distortly think that her own misfortune was caused by her, Zhao Yun.But judging from today's situation, Lady Xia thought of resisting only after being bullied a lot.But when she actually did it, she would feel scared again.If you make a choice but fail to implement it resolutely, you can only harm others and yourself in the end.

When Mrs. Xia was dragged past Zhao Yun reluctantly, there was no madness in her red eyes, only exhaustion, bewilderment, relief, and pleasure remained.

Zhao Yun shook her head secretly, "If I had chosen to do it, the two mothers and sons would definitely not survive now. Because of your hesitation, Jiu Ya's life may be more difficult than before."

Lady Xia suddenly raised her head, struggling to open her mouth to say something.But she was wearing a shackle, and Kong Wu's powerful yamen servant pulled her, and she was dragged out of the court in a staggered manner.
