In fact, Yu Qingze didn't expect anyone to recognize the thief on the spot, and pointed out on the spot that this man was a servant of Jia's house.
Both he and Lord Luo knew in their hearts that this person was sent by Jia Xiaoren, but how to make him confess in court is really not an easy task, after all, this person even lied about his name just now.
Originally, based on the behavior of the thief in the past, he deliberately made up lies and refused to explain the people behind the scenes. Yu Qingze thought that it would take him a long time to get the information about the people behind the scenes from his mouth, or that it would take Lord Luo to serve him after a severe sentence. When I said it, I didn't expect it to be recognized by two onlookers.
What a wonderful coincidence!
The opportunity could not be missed, and Yu Qingze seized the opportunity to sue Jia Xiaoren.
When the onlookers heard that Yu Qingze was going to sue the boss of Xiangmanyuan, they immediately linked the words of the two brothers with the previous incident.
"So the boss of Xiangmanyuan instructed him to prescribe medicine?"
"How is that so?"
"What's impossible, I'm jealous when I see people's business is so good!"
"… "
The crowd was discussing again.
Hearing the words, a person squeezed out of the crowd and hurried out.
Grandpa Cai and husband and wife saw it and looked at each other. Then Mrs. Cai whispered a few words in the butler's ear, and the butler Cai nodded and left.
When Luo Fu heard about this, he also rushed to the court to watch, frowned and thought about it, and then whispered a few words to the housekeeper, and the housekeeper of Luo Mansion also left in a hurry.
There was chattering and chattering outside the hall for a long time, and Luo Mingda slapped the shock and said sharply, "Quiet!"
Immediately, both inside and outside the courtroom became quiet.
Luo Mingda looked at everyone in the hall, waited until everyone was quiet and stopped making noises, and then asked, "Yu Qingze, why did you sue Jia Xiaoren, the owner of Xiangmanyuan, for deliberate murder, and come here truthfully."
The thief named Niu San looked at the two brothers in shock when he heard what they said. He also didn't expect that someone on the other side of the river would recognize him!
The people in their yard are specially raised by Jia's house to do some inconvenient things. They seldom show up in the city. They only show up when something needs them. Even in the whole Qingzhou city, there are not many people who can do it. recognize them. Usually they just wander around the nearby hills, and sometimes they also go for a walk in the nearby villages.
Originally, I thought that the Tongshan City that came here must be more unknown, but I didn't want to meet two villagers from Wulipo!
It's been eight lifetimes of blood mold!
Niu San was already in a turmoil, his brows furrowed, thinking about what to do.
Now that he heard that Yu Qingze was going to sue Jia Xiaoren, he immediately turned his head to look at Yu Qingze and glared at him fiercely.
Yu Qingze is not afraid of him, Luo Fulang can send him a message to inform them, indicating that Lord Luo is on their side, and in the hall just now, he did not mean to favor the thief at all, but he was official and beat the thief twice. Ten boards, which made him more convinced of his own ideas.
He raised his eyes and said to Luo Mingda: "Sir, at the beginning of this month, Jia Xiaoren, the owner of Xiangmanyuan, once instructed his uncle, the owner of Hongyun Shipping, to threaten the seafood stalls that bought goods from him. The owners of the main and grain and oil stores asked them not to sell seafood and flour to my snack bar and Jufulou, and then with the help of friends, this matter was resolved a few days ago.”
"Now, just a few days later, someone from Jia's house secretly sneaked into Jufu Building to take medicine, which gives me reason to believe that this person, Niu San, got Jia Xiaoren, the owner of Xiangmanyuan, his owner. Inspired, and deliberately framed Jufulou, the purpose is to cause food poisoning incidents in Jufulou, the decline of reputation, the loss of customers, and the purpose of making his business in Xiangmanyuan improve."
"Also ask your lord to see things clearly, and wait for me to be fair." After Yu Qingze finished speaking, he slowly bent down and kowtowed.
Hearing this, Luo Mingda asked which seafood stalls and grain and oil stores they were. Afterwards, he did not discuss with the master and other adults, and directly ordered: "Come here, quickly bring Jia Xiaoren and Hongyun, the owners of Xiangmanyuan, to the The shipping owner, the seafood stall owner, and the owners of the grain and oil stores brought them to court for questioning."
"Yes, my lord." The officers were ordered to go out on business.
Seeing this, Yu Qingze breathed a sigh of relief, and finally brought Jia Xiaoren and the others to the hall.
He looked back at the two brothers, and was very grateful. If they didn't recognize this Niu San, he didn't know how long it would take to force Jia Xiaoren out.
The two brothers glanced at him, and the two brothers gave him a slight nod.
Yu Qingze looked at them and felt a little familiar, but for a while he couldn't remember where he had seen them.
While waiting for the yamen to ask for someone, Luo Mingda cross-examined Niu San again. The man refused to confess, killed himself and said that he was not a servant of Jia's residence, and said that the two brothers were talking nonsense.
The two brothers knew him well, not only the address of the yard, but also who else was in the yard.
"Nonsense, I've never been to Qingzhou, let alone Wulipo! Who are you? Did Yu Qingze ask you to frame me?" Niu San said fiercely.
The two brothers were a little scared when they looked at him like that, but the younger brother dared to say, "You are the nonsense! Sir, if you don't believe it, you can just find a villager in Wulipo, everyone knows that yard. , many people have seen him. Five years ago, there was only an old man who looked after the house in the yard. Later, a group of people came, about a dozen people, all of them were men who looked like him. Once I came back In the village, I saw him and two people caught five chickens and one sheep in our village, and they didn’t pay any money. I saw him at that time, and everyone was very afraid of them.”
"Later, I met twice, and I heard from the villagers that they went to the village to catch our chickens and ducks every once in a while, and the vegetables in the vegetable fields were also pulled at random and never paid. Not only our village, but also the poplar village next door. Yes, they suffered terribly. Later, when they found out that they were servants of Jia’s house, the villagers dared not to speak out.”
Hearing this, Yu Qingze listened to the twitching of his forehead, thinking that the people in the yard were probably raised by the Jia family to do some secretly illegal things.
When the people outside heard it, they started to talk again. It is not a good person to have such a servant.
When Luo Mingda heard the words, he called four yamen again, gave them a letter, and sent them to Wulipo, Qingzhou, to bring witnesses back, and investigate the matter by the way.
The eldest of the two brothers went on his own with the four yamen.
After the yamen left, no matter what Cao Yuan said, Niu San refused to accept the account.
Luo Mingda will not be in a hurry now. This kind of person must have solid evidence in front of him before he will admit it. He will wait until he brings a witness back from Qingzhou to see how he denies it.
However, in order not to give the thief time to rest, he kept asking, and asked Cao Yuan to confront him, never letting him rest.
On the other side, a figure quickly ran to Xiangmanlou, North Street. Seeing Jia Xiaoren, he quickly pulled him into the private room and said, "Not good, young master, two people have recognized Niu San!"
"What? How is it possible? This is Tongshan City, not Qingzhou. They haven't been seen in Qingzhou City, let alone this Tongshan City, how could anyone recognize him?" Jia Xiaoren said in shock.
Jufulou caught a druggist last night and sent it to the county government. Jia Xiaoren heard about it when he came to the store early in the morning, so he quickly sent his personal servant to inquire about the news.
According to his assumption, the county government had Luo Mingda's help, and Niu San was also a tough guy, and he would never confess to him. Even if he went to court at the government office, he would never be involved.
He never thought that someone would recognize Niu San
The little servant nodded and said, "It's true. The person who recognized him said he was a villager from Wulipo. Isn't our other courtyard there? He may have seen them."
If it is from Wulipo, then it is really possible to have seen Niu San.
Jia Xiaoren was stunned, "Why did the people from Wulipo come here?"
The little Er shook his head and said, "I don't know either. I heard him identify Niu San, so I quickly came back to report."
Jia Xiaoren frowned and walked around for a few laps, then took out a purse from his arms and stuffed a handful of pieces of silver into the little servant, saying: "Go home immediately, find my father, tell him the matter, and ask him to find my watch. Brother come here. Quick!"
"Okay, eldest young master, I'll go back now." The servant took the money and ran to the pier.
After the servant left, Jia Xiaoren walked around in the private room to find a way. Before he could figure it out, four servants came outside.
"Are you Jia Xiaoren, the owner of Xiangmanyuan?" one of the yamen asked.
Jia Xiaoren put his hands behind his back, raised his chin slightly, and said, "I am, what are you doing?"
The yamen replied, "Yu Qingze, the owner of Jufu Building, sued you for intentional murder, please come with us."
"I haven't done it, I won't go." Jia Xiaoren denied.
"I can't bear you if you don't go, take it away!" After the yamen finished speaking, the four yamen stepped forward and arrested Jia Xiaoren and escorted him to the door.
"Let go of me, I'll go by myself!" Seeing that the situation was irreversible, Jia Xiaoren had to shout in a low voice to save face.
The meaning of being escorted out by the yamen and cooperating with him to go out is too different.
Seeing that he was surrounded and taken away by four yamen, the guys in the store were stunned and stopped working immediately, and they all followed to watch the fun.
Jia Xiaoren and Boss Yuan, as well as the owners of seafood stalls and grain and oil stores were brought to the yamen one after another, and a dozen people knelt on the ground.
Seeing that the person was almost there, Luo Mingda stunned and asked, "Where is Jia Xiaoren?"
Jia Xiaoren's forehead jumped and said, "The grass people are here."
Luo Mingda said: "Report your name, age, and place of origin."
Jia Xiaoren looked at Luo Mingda, the incident happened suddenly, and he forgot to ask the servant about the situation in the hall before, he still thought that Luo Mingda was with him, so he also replied: Years old, from Qingzhou City. I don't know why the adults recruited the people to come here?"
Luo Mingda repeated the content of Yu Qingze's complaint, and then asked, "What do you have to say about this?"
Jia Xiaoren said: "My lord, Caomin has not done what Boss Yu said, and I ask your lord to investigate."
"Oh? Do you know the person on your right?" Luo Mingda asked.
Jia Xiaoren glanced at Niu San on the right, shook his head, and replied, "I don't know."
Luo Mingda paused, and then asked again, "Yu Qingze sued you for instigating the boss of Hongyun Shipping to threaten seafood and flour not to be sold to him, is there such a thing?"
Jia Xiaoren shook his head resolutely and said, "There is no such thing. This matter is purely Yu Qingze slandering me, and I will sue him."
Yu Qingze snorted and did not speak.
When the round-faced boss of Hongyun heard this in the back row, a cold sweat broke out. How did this matter come to court? Later, the magistrate will definitely ask him something, so how should he answer it? The answer is yes or the answer is no
It's such a mess, it's really frustrating.
Before he could think of a way, Luo Mingda's voice came over.
"Boss Yuan of Hongyun Shipping stepped forward to answer."
I'm coming…
The round-faced boss felt tight in his heart, and hurriedly knelt forward a few steps, bowed his head and replied, "The grass people are here."
As usual, Luo Mingda asked him to report his name, age, place of origin, and then asked, "Yuan Changhe, what is your relationship with Jia Xiaoren?"
The round-faced boss replied, "Report to your lord, Jia Xiaoren is my nephew, and he is my brother."
Luo Mingda continued to ask: "Do you know Yu Ji Yikou Xian and Yu Qingze, the owner of Jufu Building?"
The round-faced boss nodded and said, "I know."
Luo Mingda asked again, "Did your nephew Jia Xiaoren instruct you at the beginning of this month to make you threaten the owners of seafood stalls and grain and oil stores that buy from you not to sell seafood and flour to Yu Qingze?"
The round-faced boss paused, and subconsciously glanced at Jia Xiaoren. Seeing Jia Xiaoren squinting at him, he quickly withdrew his gaze and looked back at the seafood stall and grain and oil store owners kneeling behind him.
Finally, he closed his eyes, gritted his teeth, and replied, "Go back, go back to your lord, yes, there is such a thing."
