After my rebirth, I married my ex-husband and his uncle

Chapter 171
Li Chang Zhao was a little anxious when he heard that Qin Fenghua had reported to the official: "This... this, Miss Qin, it's just some trivial matters, there is no need to report to the official!"

"A trivial matter? Deliberate murder is a trivial matter, so what is a major matter in Zhao Lichang's eyes?"

"How can it be so serious as what Miss Qin said? They just taught their daughter-in-law a lesson. It's all housework. How could it be a deliberate murder? What Miss Qin said is too serious." Chief Zhao said disapprovingly.

When the daughter-in-law came in, her father-in-law and her mother-in-law set the rules for her disobedience.Even Mrs. Zhao, who is as pungent as she is, was often taught by her mother-in-law when she was young, and set the rules!
Seeing that Chief Zhao was still looking as if a major matter had been turned into a trivial matter, Qin Fenghua stopped wasting words arguing with him, and moved back to the lower shade of the tree a few steps, waiting for Qin Guo to come back.

Li Chang Zhao was about to speak again when he heard hurried footsteps coming from outside Zhao's house.

After a while, Qin Guo led the potbellied county magistrate Zhang and a dozen or so yamen servants to appear in front of Zhao Hu's house.

County magistrate Zhang had already heard Qin Guo talk about the cause and effect of the incident on the way here. He was naturally partial to Qin Fenghua in his private heart, but he couldn't show it on the surface.

So he held his stomach and was full of official authority, put on airs, and walked slowly into the courtyard of the Zhao family. After standing still, he glanced at the people present, and then raised his short and thick eyebrows. He said in a loud voice: "The owner of Jinxiufang reported that there was a vicious murder incident in Zhaojia Village. I will come and see who dared to do such a horrible thing in my territory. !"

Chief Zhao did not expect that Qin Fenghua would actually have the ability to invite County Magistrate Zhang, with a very ugly face, he stepped in front of County Magistrate Zhang, bowed and said, "Master County Magistrate, this is all a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding, there is no intention Murder, no such thing."

"Huh?" County magistrate Zhang frowned and looked at Li Chang Zhao, raising his voice, "You mean that the owner of Jinxiu Zhifang reported a false case, and the official opened it?"

"That's not what I meant." Li Chang Zhao quickly waved his hands.

"What do you mean I don't care about it, I only know that under the bright sun and the moon, the world is bright and bright, and I, as a parent official, should eliminate any illegal and disciplined people in the jurisdiction!"

After County Magistrate Zhang finished speaking these righteous official words, he waved his sleeves and said, "Come on, escort all three members of the Zhao family back to the county government office."

As soon as Zhang County Magistrate's voice fell, the yamen servants were ordered to arrest him immediately.

Mrs. Zhao was restrained by a strong yamen servant, she struggled and refused to accept, and shouted: "Why did you arrest us, why didn't you arrest that little whore!"

County magistrate Zhang raised his eyebrows and scolded: "Presumptuous! How can the government allow you to criticize the case? Besides, they are the ones who reported the case, so they will go to the county government with me. Is it necessary for me to arrest them?"

"Then I have to report to the police. They kicked down the door of my house and broke my fingers. I also want to report to the police to arrest them!" Granny Zhao shouted.

County magistrate Zhang glanced at the broken door of Zhao's house, then saw Mrs. Zhao's lively and arrogant appearance, and said with a sneer, "One yard counts for one yard. You must first go to the county government to make it clear about your intentional murder of your daughter-in-law, Mrs. Jin. take away!"

So a group of people rushed to the county government office in a huge crowd. Many villagers from Zhaojia Village who were watching the fun went with them, and even some nearby villages heard about the incident and came to join in the fun.

Under the bright mirror hanging high, County Magistrate Zhang sat majesticly on the high hall, patted the gavel in his hand, and said solemnly: "Ascension hall!"

The yamen servants took Zhao Hu, Mrs. Zhao and Mrs. Zhao with them.

"The owner of Jinxiu Weaving Workshop sued the three of you for deliberately murdering Jin Wei, a female worker from another workshop. Is there such a thing?"

"Your Excellency, you are wronged, you are wronged, that little whore framed us!" Mrs. Zhao said, pointing at Qin Fenghua.

"Presumptuous!" County Magistrate Zhang slapped the gavel fiercely, and scolded, "How can you allow foul language in the courtroom, come on, give me a slap in the face of this old lady who speaks bad words."

The yamen servant took the order, and beat Mrs. Zhao on the mouth with a slapping board in his hand. After about twenty beats, the yamen servant let go of the old lady Zhao whose mouth was cracked and covered in blood.

County Magistrate Zhang tidied up Mrs. Zhao, looked at the two remaining people in the hall, pointed at Zhao Hu and said, "Tell me, you guys have intentions to murder Jin Wei."

Zhao Hu's legs gave way, and he knelt down, not daring to speak.

Seeing this, County Magistrate Zhang chuckled: "The tall man looks tall and powerful, I didn't expect that the timid one can't even speak." He pointed to the old man Zhao at the side, and said, "You tell me. "

Old man Zhao was a little better than Zhao Hu, and he didn't fall down. He glanced at County Magistrate Zhang carefully, and tremblingly said: "I...we are just teaching the disobedient daughter-in-law a lesson, and we didn't want to kill her."

"My lord," Qin Guo stood up and said with cupped hands, "The 'lesson' they said was to beat the female workers in my workshop to the last breath, if Zhao Mazi hadn't come to my Jinxiu workshop today to report the evil deeds of the Zhao family , I'm afraid that one day later, Jin Wei will really be 'taught' by them to death."

County magistrate Zhang stared at old man Zhao sharply, and said, "Is what he said true?"

The old man Zhao shrank his shoulders, faced Magistrate Zhang's gaze, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said, "No...it's not true, we just set rules for Jin Wei, I didn't expect her to be so weak."

County magistrate Zhang withdrew his gaze from staring at old man Zhao, looked down the hall for a week, and said, "Where is the witness Zhao Mazi?"

"Yes, yes, my lord, the villain is here." Zhao Mazi squeezed out from the crowd and said loudly.

"You went to Jinxiufang to report it?"

Zhao Mazi nodded, "It's the villain."

"Let's start from the beginning."

Zhao Mazi rolled his eyes and said, "Don't dare to lie to my lord, the little one went to Zhao Hu's house to steal chickens last night..."

"What are you doing at Zhao Hu's house?!"

"Steal...steal the chicken," Zhao Mazi shrank his neck and hastily argued, "But the little one didn't steal the chicken last night..."

County Magistrate Zhang was speechless, skipping over the matter of Zhao Mazi stealing the chicken, and continued to ask, "What about the back?"

"The back is, the little one just entered Zhao Hu's chicken coop last night, and saw Jin Wei lying in it."

"What was Jin Wei like at that time?"

Zhao Mazi recalled it for a while, and said: "It was dark at that time, and the little one didn't recognize it as a person at first, but when he got closer, he vaguely recognized that person was Jin Wei. The little one remembered that when she saw Jin Wei, she was already The injury was too serious, and she passed out. If the little one hadn't detected a faint breath under her nose, the little one almost thought she was dead. Seeing Jin Wei's appearance, the little one couldn't bear it, so she went to Jinxiufang to report .”

County Magistrate Zhang nodded, then turned to old man Zhao, and said, "According to what Zhao Mazi said, did you commit violence against Jin Wei and lock the seriously injured Jin Wei into the chicken coop without paying any attention?"
