Chapter 324

Song Xintong walked slowly to the court. When he saw Chen county magistrate's eyes, he immediately felt uncomfortable.

"Kneel down!" The Yamen servant cheered.

No way, she is not a scholar, nor is she Gaoming's wife. She has to kneel down when she sees the county magistrate. She can only kneel down with the support of Daya and sit on the court made of bluestone slabs. "People's wives have seen adults."

Chen county magistrate looked at the belly of song Xintong, frowned, "kneel who, report on the name."

Song Xintong replied, "Lu Song's wife, Taohua village, Qinghe town."

Chen county magistrate looked at Song Xintong's pretty face, and his heart was like being scratched by a cat. "Cui told you that the food in your restaurant was poisonous and killed her family. Is that true?"

"My Lord, I dare not admit it." Song Xintong took a look at the old woman Cui, who cried more than once. "The people's wife is really wronged."

"The evidence is solid. What's wrong?" Chen county magistrate picked up the token and threw it to the court: "song, if you admit it again, I will tell you to taste it..."

"My Lord, are you going to make a move out of a trap?" Lu Yunkai hurried in from outside the court and asked magistrate Chen in a loud voice.

"Daring, he broke into the court and disturbed the official's decision. Come on..." county magistrate Chen hated Lu Yunkai to death. If he hadn't intervened, he would have brought this pretty beauty back to the Yamen. I wanted to beat him to death!

Lu Yunkai slightly arched his hand, and then sternly said: "I am a scholar born in the 16th year of Jingyuan. I can shake my chair free of tax. It can be seen that the county magistrate does not kneel down, but can go to court to plead. Do you dare to ask me if you want to beat me out of court?"

"You..." county magistrate Chen was so angry that he shivered, "good, good, I'll let you argue, let you argue!"

"Thank you, my Lord." Lu Yun said in a cold voice. He looked down at his wife who was kneeling on the ground. Her bright eyes were full of trust. He returned a smile that reassured her. Then he turned to look at Cui Shi and others who were kneeling on the ground.

"Excuse me, my Lord, can I have a post-mortem?" Lu Yunkai hurried over from the dock. On the way, he knew that it was less than two hours since the death of the people to the Yamen servants. Moreover, the Yamen servants didn't ride horses and didn't work.

At that time, after the Yamen officer took song Xintong away, the rest of the people took the body and the sons of the deceased away without cross examination. The whole process was like having concluded that Tongji restaurant had killed the man.

Before leaving, Xintong asked poplar to put away the dishes on the table, asked the doctor to check, and also asked someone to check the identity of these people.

Chen county magistrate's face changed and he didn't check it.

The son of the deceased said, "do you still need a medical examination? We died of poisoning after eating the food in your restaurant. It's not your problem. Even if you are a scholar, you can't deny it. Everyone is watching. My father is eating your food and then he falls down. "

Then he lifted the cloth on the body of the dead, "poisoned, black blood, what else is there to test?"

Cui said: "you are in charge of the family. If you go to a restaurant for a meal, you will be poisoned to death. You are so unjust. Wuwuwuwuwu..... My Lord, please try to avenge my family. You can't let go of these cruel things..."

Lu Yunkai said in a deep voice, "my Lord, may I ask you a few questions?"

Chen county magistrate was a dazed person. He thought that the case could not be more simple. There was no need to ask any more questions. "The evidence is conclusive. What else can I ask? Lu Xiucai, do you want to excuse your wife? "

"My Lord, if the truth is true, what is the relationship between asking and not asking? My Lord, I'll waste your time drinking a cup of tea. " Lu Yunkai said, "or do you dare not let me ask?"

Chen county magistrate's face sank. He did receive money, but... It doesn't matter to ask: "then you ask."

"Thank you, my Lord." Lu Yunkai raised his hand perfunctorily, and then stared at Cui's eldest son like a flame, "when did you go to the restaurant today?"

"Why should I tell you that? You just want to excuse your mother-in-law. Your restaurant has killed people. Do you still want to intimidate us? " The eldest son of the deceased choked his neck and yelled: "my Lord, we should arrest this man together. They belong to the same family. They must have poisoned together..."

Song Xintong took a look at the man, and kept on talking, but there was no evidence at all. He only said that it was stupid to eat dead people in their restaurant. He had a bad brain and learned to do this kind of business!

When Chen county magistrate heard this, he thought it was a good proposal to take Lu Xiucai in. Is it not easy for song lady to catch her? All of a sudden, his eyes brightened.

"It's reasonable. You are the same family. How can you argue for the Song family?"

Lu Yunkai saw Chen county magistrate's calculating expression and knew what he was up to. He was thinking about his wife again and again. As a man, this kind of thing could not be tolerated. He gave a cold smile: "what do you mean, my lord? Do you want to go back? "

Chen county magistrate sneered, "I just thought of it. It's unreasonable and unfair to the plaintiff."

"They should be able to defend themselves." Lu Yun hesitated: "Sir, you can make them speak. Why don't you allow us to speak? How can there be such a truth in this court? "

Chen county magistrate picked up jingtangmu and patted down: "this is my official's place. I can do whatever I want..."

Seeing this, the master next to him turned green. He stopped Chen county magistrate and went on. He didn't know what his family looked like? If you let his temperament, today I'm afraid I'll put Lu Xiucai in prison.

There are only a dozen scholars in Qingjiang County, and Lu Yunkai is still born. He is the only one born for so many years, and he can't be killed casually.

The master followed him for many years, but Chen county magistrate still believed him and said calmly, "then you say it."

Song Xintong hooked his lips. What's the matter!

Lu Yunkai continued to ask the eldest son of the deceased, "why do you want to go to Tongji restaurant for dinner? Who suggested it?"

"My father, he heard that the food in Tongji restaurant on the wharf was very delicious, so we went and asked for a table of dishes. Unexpectedly..."

Lu Yunkai didn't listen to what he said. He interrupted directly: "how many of you went?"

"Daddy, I have two brothers, three brothers, four of us."

"Have you all eaten?" Lu Yunkai asked.

"Yes."

"What's the taste?" Lu asked

"Good." As soon as the man finished, he was shocked and didn't say it right. He immediately changed his words: "general."

Although he changed his tongue, he was heard by the onlookers outside.

Lu Yunkai said with a smile: "you all ate it. Why did your father die alone? Why aren't you dead? "
