PFC Chapter 56 Why bother to accuse someone?
Chapter 56 Why bother to accuse someone?
When Mu Jiaojiao heard this, a cold light flashed in her eyes. She wanted to convict herself right from the start!
"To answer your Excellency, the County Magistrate, I have no idea what crime I have committed. How can I confess my guilt?"
Mu Jiaojiao looked at Han Yuan with a sarcastic expression, and the corners of her eyes that were not covered by the veil raised, as if to say, I understand what you are thinking!
When Han Yuan saw this, he naturally started to think about it. This village woman was not easy to deal with.
"Humph! This county magistrate thinks you won't cry until you see the coffin!
Someone reported that you stole the recipe from Fu Lai Restaurant and sold it to Jin Yu Man Tang. Do you admit your crime?"
Han Yuan used his official authority to try to overwhelm Mu Jiaojiao.
"Oh! If you want to accuse someone of something, you can always find a pretext."
Mu Jiaojiao snorted coldly, her tone cold.
"Since the County Magistrate said someone reported me, should I ask him to produce evidence? Can you really expect me to confess without any evidence?
Don’t even mention that I never did these things. Even if I did, I won’t admit it!
"Mu Jiaojiao, you are such a bold village woman. I naturally have witnesses and evidence."
Li Fulai, who had been watching from the side for a while, couldn't help but jump out when he saw Mu Jiaojiao being so arrogant.
"Oh~ You're the one who reported me! If I'm not mistaken, you're the owner of the Fu Lai Restaurant!"
Mu Jiaojiao looked as if she had suddenly realized something, as if to say, "So it was you who framed me?"
"Since there are witnesses and physical evidence, Mr. Li might as well show it to me, Mu Jiaojiao. Otherwise, I will sue you for slandering an innocent citizen."
Mu Jiaojiao then looked at Li Fu and spoke word by word, her eyes full of sharpness.
Li Fulai was frightened by Mu Jiaojiao's eyes. Why did this village woman look so scary?
"You, you, you think I don't have evidence?"
Li Fulai pretended to be calm and decided to make this village woman pay for her mistakes today. He didn't need to be afraid of her at all!
"Your Excellency, County Magistrate, Your Excellency, I request that a witness be summoned."
Then he respectfully made a request to the county magistrate Han Yuan and the garrison commander Han Junlian who were already seated in the hall.
"Alright! Bring up the witness!"
Seeing this, Han Yuan patted the chopping board and nodded in agreement.
Zhao Wu was a little nervous at this time. Although he came to help Mu Jiaojiao, he didn't know exactly what had happened.
Mu Jiaojiao looked indifferent. She didn't do anything. What was she afraid of?
Besides, even if something happens, doesn’t Xia Jin still exist at home?
Xia Jin, that black sesame dumpling fox, would definitely not let her get into trouble in such an unclear way.
Don't ask her why she is so sure?
First of all, Xia Jin's poison has not been cured. At the beginning, his men came but stayed by his side and refused to leave. Isn't it because of this poison that other doctors in the entire Dayu may not be able to cure it?
She was not confident enough to think that Xia Jin stayed because she liked her.
Just because of this face full of birthmarks? Forget it!
But she was quite confident in her medical skills, and there were definitely not many people in the world who could detoxify this poison.
Secondly, after spending these days together, he clearly felt that Xia Fox treated him differently. He felt that even if the feelings were not deep-rooted, at least he still had a high impression of her!
Then Mu Jiaojiao saw Zhao Wu nervously clenching his hand holding the spear, and Mu Jiaojiao gave him a reassuring look.
Seeing this, Zhao Wu inexplicably relaxed his whole body. Madam Mu is a smart person, so she should be fine, right?
Then, the sound of footsteps came from afar, and a man and a woman were brought in by soldiers.
"Huang Juhua, a common woman from Lihua Village."
"Liu San from Lihua Village"
"Greetings, my lord!"
Mu Jiaojiao looked at the two people who were brought in with her eyes slightly narrowed. She really didn't expect that Old Man Liu and Huang Juhua would get involved.
"Huang Juhua, Liu San, do you know who is next to you?"
When Han Yuan saw the witness, he glanced at Li Fulai. The two looked at each other. Li Fulai nodded affirmatively, and then he asked in a fake tone.
"I know, this is Mu Xiaocao from our village."
After hearing this, the two of them looked at Mu Jiaojiao, and when they met Mu Jiaojiao's eyes, their gazes were evasive, their faces were full of guilt, and their bodies were trembling slightly.
"Tell the adults what you know."
Seeing this, Li Fulai cursed the two useless old bastards inwardly. Why were they shaking before they even started? He had no choice but to guide them himself.
"Oh, yes, sir, sir, I want to report Mu Xiaocao. She stole the recipe from Fulai Restaurant and used it to buy a large sum of money to repair a house in our village."
Huang Juhua was not confident at first, but later she felt more and more that what she said was right. Otherwise, where would Mu Xiaocao get the money to renovate the house?
She said she saved a noble man as a thank you, who would believe her?
Is she Mu Xiaocao trying to trick ghosts?
"Mu Xiaocao, what do you say?"
Han Yuan felt that Mu Jiaojiao would not be able to turn over in this matter, so he mercifully asked the village woman again!
“Sir, the money I used to repair the house was indeed a thank-you gift given to me after saving a noble man.
As for what Huang Juhua said about stealing the recipe, I never did it. The recipe I gave to Jin Yu Man Tang was something I accidentally researched."
Mu Jiaojiao looked calm. This groundless slander was no big deal!
Lies are easily exposed!
"Humph! Mu Xiaocao, you said my wife slandered you, why don't you produce evidence?"
After listening to this, Old Man Liu also felt that his wife's analysis made sense, and began to accuse Mu Jiaojiao fiercely.
Han Yuan looked at Mu Jiaojiao's calmness and thought in her heart. She inexplicably felt that Mu Jiaojiao was confident.
Either the facts are really as she said, or she has other backers. If that's the case...
Han Yuan stopped thinking and made a decision.
"Mu Jiaojiao, a village woman, has all the evidence, witnesses, and evidence. According to the law, she stole other people's property and was imprisoned for three years. No visitation is allowed."
He wanted to make Mu Jiaojiao speechless. What's wrong with him using his power to suppress her?
Everyone was speechless after hearing this.
Huang Juhua and Old Man Liu were immediately excited. This way, they wouldn't have to pay back Manager Li, and they could also put Mu Xiaocao, the little bitch who had harmed them, in jail.
Once this little bitch is put in jail, they will move into the newly built big house with two entrances.
The two were very happy about this.
Li Fulai was even more smiling, saying, "You are a village woman who is ungrateful and dares to help Jin Yumantang. I will never make you turn over a new leaf in your life."
As for Zhao Wu's angry face, it was obvious that the county magistrate was lying with his eyes open. He wanted to put Madam Mu in jail without even waiting for her to call for witnesses or to refute her.
If this isn't blatant slander, what is?
It is true that the emperor is far away and the mountains are high, and the people are all parasites who abuse their power!
"Sir, County Magistrate, is this matter..."
"Alright, Zhao Wu, the County Magistrate didn't charge you because you were deceived by this village woman as a guard of Hexi Town. Don't be ungrateful!"
Master Ding looked at the result with a look of satisfaction on his face, and then interrupted Zhao Wu's rebuttal.
