Chapter 86 Yamen
Chapter 86 Yamen
After Zeng Hao dealt with the family affairs, he hurried to Ning Mansion.
As soon as she entered the hall of Ning's house, Zeng Wei, who had been quiet for a long time, immediately threw herself into Zeng Hao's arms, crying like rain: "Brother, I almost thought I was going to die..."
Hearing this, Zeng Hao's eyes also turned red.
Ning Yin and Zuo Wuxun were playing chess, and they had already seen that Zeng Wei must have been wronged in the Chen residence, but she refused to say, and it was not easy for them to ask, so they set up the chessboard on their own, until Zeng Hao appeared.
After the two brothers and sisters calmed down, Ning Yin put Bai Zi down and said, "Don't leave in a hurry, both of you."
Zeng Hao immediately said: "Mr. Ning, what can I order?"
"Although Chen Hao didn't stop Zeng Wei from leaving, Chen Hao won't let her go easily." Ning Yin raised her eyebrows, picked up the teacup in front of her, took a sip of tea, and said, "Today Evening is what they call a good time to worship the sky and call for rain, and this matter has already spread all over the city..."
Ning Yin paused, and continued: "I reckon, Chen Hao will let Miss Zeng leave, maybe he intends to use the hands of the people to let Miss Zeng go to the sacrifice platform voluntarily, instead of him personally arresting her." People. After all, Chen Hao is still very cautious in his actions."
Hearing this, except for Zuo Wuxun, the expressions of the other two people suddenly changed drastically.
Zeng Hao's fingers kept trembling: "Yes, yes, tonight is a sacrifice to the sky to call for rain, Chen Hao is sure he will just let Wei Niang go—Master Ning, third son, do you have any tricks?"
Zeng Wei, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said, "What if I escape from the city? Will I be safe and sound as long as I escape tonight?"
The other three didn't speak, and the atmosphere seemed to freeze.
Zeng Wei's face was pale, her legs were weak for a moment, she stretched out her hand to support the pillar, and said desolately: "I... am I really going to die?"
After a while, Ning Yin calmly said: "No, we just need to expose Chen Hao's true colors and let the world see his character clearly, so you won't die."
Zuo Wuxun: "Well, Mr. Ning is right."
Now, the entire Chunjing Continent is in a state of water and food shortage.
Although the lord of Meixiao Kingdom had sent imperial envoys to bring disaster food and distribute it to the people in each city, but because the imperial envoys had not arrived at Hegui City for a long time, some extremely hungry people automatically Spontaneously ran outside the official grain warehouse and asked to open the warehouse to release grain.
There is not much grain in the granary, even if they are all taken out, it will not be enough. Moreover, the imperial envoy and others who are in charge of distributing the disaster grain have almost arrived in Hegui City, so after the prefect and others discussed the arrangement, they decided not to open the warehouse. grain.
Of course the dozens of people standing near the granary were not happy, so they started arguing!
This matter quickly spread throughout Hegui City. Most of the people were relatively calm and did not go to the granary to make a noise, but chose to believe what the prefect said - the imperial envoy would arrive soon, and they would have food by then.
Zeng Hao said that he would be willing to admit in court that Master Chen had partnered with a man in black to make Master Chen faint.
But that's not enough.
Until, Zeng Wei blushed and said: "...What if I am also willing to identify Chen Hao in court?"
The other three men didn't understand what she meant:?
Zeng Wei lowered her head, clenched her hands into fists, her voice trembling: "Actually, when I was in Chen's residence just now, that man surnamed Chen wanted to force me...I refused to obey him...and, fortunately, A young servant suddenly ran to knock on the door, saying that someone was coming, and then he left..."
But she suppressed her tears and continued: "After he left, I was afraid, afraid, afraid that after his guests left, he would come to me again. So, I called the maid who guarded the door to come in, use, use a porcelain bottle Knocked her out, and ran out... But, someone found me, they chased me, I panicked and ran to the hall, fortunately I met two young masters, otherwise I would..."
The other three men were shocked. They never thought that Zeng Wei would encounter such a thing.
With a sullen face, Zeng Hao turned around and walked out of the hall: "I'll kill him."
"Stop!" Ning Yin stopped him: "There are dozens of people in the Chen residence, who do you think can be killed by you alone?"
Zeng Hao stopped in his tracks, his face full of anger.
And Zeng Wei also ran over in a panic, looking at her brother worriedly.
Ning Yin sighed, turned around and looked at Zuo Wuxun who said nothing, "Third Young Master, what trick do you have?"
"Right now, we can only strike first." Zuo Wuxun said.
Ning Yin lowered her eyes, thought for a while, and said, "Then, let's do as you said."
Zuo Wuxun hummed.
The brothers and sisters of the Zeng family who didn't know what kind of charade these two were playing were puzzled.
an hour later—
Chen Fu suddenly ushered in two or three officials.
The steward of the Chen residence stopped the officials from allowing them to come in, but the officials ignored the steward of the Chen residence and walked past him, saying to Mr. Chen, "Excuse me, please come with us to the yamen."
Master Chen frowned: "What's going on? I'm with you..."
"Shut up!" The officer interrupted Master Chen, and said bluntly, "Just come with us, don't be wordy."
Master Chen turned around, and after instructing the steward of the Chen residence, he pretended to be frank and left, but in fact, only Master Chen himself knew how uneasy he was right now.
The yamen of Heguicheng.
Ning Yin, Zeng Hao, Zeng Wei, and Wang Butou, who had been "disappearing" for a long time, were all waiting at the yamen.
Outside the yamen, there were more than a dozen commoners watching, and Zuo Wuxun was standing in the crowd, watching from a distance - Zuo Wuxun was a member of the Sword Forging Sect, so it was inconvenient for him to come forward in this matter.
Qian Qianqian also came after hearing the news. The short and fat Boss Jin pushed his way through the crowd and squeezed into the first row to watch the fun.
When Master Chen saw Wang Catcher, his brows twitched and he felt uneasy, but he still pretended to be calm and stepped forward, saying: "Wang Jie, you killed someone, and you still have the face to show up in the Yamen?"
Catcher Wang cast a cold glance at Master Chen: "Chen Hao, you killed the man, why can't I show up?"
Master Chen knew that he would do this, and immediately said: "My lord, this Wang Jie is really getting more and more arrogant. He actually dared to frame me in front of my lord. Your lord, hurry up and have him arrested!"
"Catch whatever, even if I catch you, I'll catch you." Ning Yin said.
When Mr. Chen heard the words, he pretended he didn't hear anything, and just continued: "My lord, why haven't you done anything yet? Are you trying to protect someone?"
After the words fell, he deliberately looked at Wang Butou.
"Exposure" was shot heavily with the gavel, and the entire courtroom became silent for an instant.
The county magistrate said solemnly: "Under this court, you need to pay attention to your words—"
Master Chen sneered and dared not speak any more.
The county magistrate asked Ning Yin and others to report their family names.
Ning Yin said: "My lord, my name is Ning Yin, and I live in the west of Hegui City. The three people beside me are Zeng Hao from the silk and satin village in the east of the city, Zeng Wei from the Zeng family, and Zeng Wei from the Zeng family. It turned out to be Wang Jie, the head catcher of the yamen, and the four of us came here today to sue only one person!"
When Mr. Chen saw Catcher Wang, he felt guilty, afraid, and worried.
The county magistrate said, "Who are you suing and why?"
"We want to sue Chen Hao for a total of five things." Ning Yin said coldly: "The first thing - Chen Hao murdered..."
Master Chen was in a hurry: "Ridiculous! You guys are talking nonsense!"
"Please shut up." Ning Yin didn't even look at him: "Wait for me to finish first, then you can talk."
The county magistrate gave Master Chen a warning look, and then signaled Ning Yin to continue.
"A few days ago, Catcher Wang, that is, Wang Jie, investigated the old pagoda tree in Zhaojia Village. But on the way home, I met a little beggar named Ah Chou who lives in the Town God's Temple outside the city—" Ning Yin paused, then continued: "The little beggar asked Wang Jie to go to the cliff. Street, he went, and then met the young servant of the Chen family who had been waiting for a long time, Xiaoli." "Then," Ning Yin ignored Master Chen's almost murderous eyes, and continued: "Chen Hao, in front of Wang Jie, personally Killing people—that is, managing the tiger.”
Master Chen was furious: "Framed!!! This is a false accusation, my lord, you know it, this is definitely a false accusation!" The county magistrate has long been disgusted with Mr. Chen who always acts arrogantly with the backing of the Humen Bodyguard Bureau. He patted the gavel again, and said majestically, "Shut up! Ning Yin—you continue."
Ning Yin continued without changing his face: "Chen Hao, if you refuse to accept it, I have someone here to prove it, physical evidence—bring physical evidence, personal witness!"
""
After a while, Danggui appeared in front of the crowd with Li Ming in his arms, and then lightly pushed him. Li Ming couldn't stand still and fell to the ground with a 'slap'.
Dang Gui glanced at him indifferently, clasped her fists together, and then left.
Master Chen stared at Li Ming, flustered, but he still comforted himself in his heart, no, no, Li Ming would never betray him.
But who knows, as soon as Li Ming saw Ning Yin and the others, he immediately told everything he knew, and he didn't dare to lie anymore.However, Li Ming still said that he gave the drug to Master Chen, but kept silent about the poison as before.
—— Li Ming still chose to defend himself by chance, and did not dare to pour more dirty water on Master Chen.
Because Li Ming still keeps thinking that the things he did with Mr. Chen have only been discovered up to now, not all of them.
Until, Zeng Hao couldn't wait to say: "Li Ming, you are lying! I, I saw with my own eyes that you were talking about poison in the alley before, but the talk collapsed, so you took away the poison, leaving only the drug !"
After finishing speaking, Zeng Hao took out the little bit of poison he picked up and put it on the county magistrate's desk.
Everyone present was shocked.
