"Master Zhifu, the little girl Wang Yan'er pays respects to you!" Yan'er knelt in front of the yamen hall, seeing her mother-in-law still standing there stupidly, she quickly pulled her trousers and said in a low voice: "Mother-in-law, hurry up and salute Lord Zhifu!" ah!"
Only then did the old lady come to her senses, and she quickly knelt down and said, "The housewife pays homage to the magistrate!"
The magistrate looked down and saw that it was Situ Jun and Hai Kuo Tiantian's shopkeepers, and then looked at the two women kneeling below, thinking with a headache: Doctor Situ shouldn't be threatening others!
"Your Majesty, the case of the Haikuo Tiantian store has progressed, and please give me your favor!" Situ Jun looked at the Lord Prefect with neither condescension nor humility.
The magistrate looked at the two kneeling carefully and said slowly: "Ms. Chen, please state the truth of this matter one by one!"
"Your Majesty, in fact, the old man in our family died because of his illness. Our mother and daughter just wanted to cheat for a sum of compensation. If they hadn't found evidence, our mother and daughter would never have pleaded guilty!" , the woman's voice gradually weakened.
"Bold and unreasonable, you dare to tease this official!" The magistrate patted Jing Mutang very angrily, then looked at them and continued to ask: "Are you sure no one threatened you to change your words?"
"My lord, I don't dare to hide anything. Everything we mother and daughter said is true. If you don't believe me, you can have an autopsy to verify it!" The old woman looked at the magistrate as if frightened and said: "I, an old ghost, got sick once a few years ago. If I hadn't just been rescued by a passing barefoot doctor, I'm afraid he would have died a long time ago!"
The magistrate heard everyone's statements, discussed with the master, and then looked at everyone and said: "This case will be opened normally from now on. The mother and daughter of the Chen family disrupted the order of the court, and the fine of one thousand taels of silver will be returned to Haikuotian. .”
"Shopkeeper, our mother and daughter really have no money, please let us go, we will never dare again next time!" Chen's mother and daughter looked at Mo Lan and Situ Jun in horror and continued to cry: "If it wasn't for this With the old man gone, our life will not be so difficult!"
"Okay, don't cry, we won't hold you accountable, take this five thousand taels as a comfort fee from us!" Mo Lan took out five thousand taels from his sleeve and put it in the old woman's hand Said: "The most important thing now is to let the dead rest in peace!"
"I said that Hai Kuo Tian Tian would do such a thing. It turned out to be a misunderstanding. Shopkeeper Mo, congratulations on clearing up your grievances. When your shop opens, I will definitely come!"
"Shopkeeper Mo, congratulations!" People around congratulated Mo Lan one after another, "Shopkeeper Mo, congratulations, I will definitely support you when it opens next time!"
"Thank you for your trust. We will not disappoint everyone's trust!" Mo Lan clasped his fists and said hastily, "Starting tomorrow, Haikuotian will open normally. Welcome everyone to come and have a meal!"
Seeing that the Chen mother and daughter had left, Situ Jun secretly gave Mo Lan a wink, and then sneaked into the prefect's backyard while everyone was not paying attention.
"My lord, you are so wise today, you have solved such a difficult case, and we are worshiping you more and more!" The master looked at the magistrate cheerfully.
