Chapter 133

"Look familiar?" The man called big brother frowned at the man who was being beaten and said, "who?"

The man who spoke earlier scratched his head and said, "I feel very familiar. I don't know where I've seen it."

The eldest brother looked at his brother and said, "don't read it wrong?"

"Impossible." The younger brother frowned and said, "I'll think about it."

The eldest brother said, "think about it. This man is so hateful. He drugged boss Yu's shop. It's really a bad work. Remember, we'll help boss Yu."

"Well, I see." Then the brother really thought of it.

Over there, the Yamen servant beat 20 boards and dragged the thief back to the court.

Luo Mingda clapped with astonishment and said in a harsh voice, "report the name, age and native place of the people under the hall. If you don't answer again, the board will serve you! "

Smelling the speech, the thief trembled and just got hit by 20 big boards. The Yamen servants didn't show mercy. They beat him hard on the spot. His ass was burning and painful, which was even worse than the kicks kicked by Yu Qingze's guys before.

His forehead was covered with sweat. He looked up at the magistrate and saw his serious expression. He frowned and thought, it's different from what he said.

He didn't want to be beaten for nothing. His eyes turned and he said reluctantly, "Niu Qiang, 26, from Lishu village in the east of the city."

"Why did you sneak into Jufu building to take medicine in the middle of the night?" Lominda asked.

Niu Qiang shut up again.

Luo Mingda's green veins burst up on his forehead and gave him a shocking slap.

Pop!

"Say!" Lominda snapped.

This time, there was an echo in the lobby. The people in the hall were startled, and the people watching outside were also startled. Some of them were talking quietly. At this time, they stopped talking and looked at the hall.

The Niu Qiang was also frightened, but he shook his head and replied, "I didn't prescribe medicine."

Luo Mingda looked at Yu Qingze.

Yu Qingze picked up the medicine bag next to him and said, "Sir, he lied. He climbed over the wall from the backyard and entered the backyard of my shop. He pried open the window of my shop kitchen. After entering, he went to the water tank, opened the cover, took out this large bag of powder from his arms, and was about to apply the medicine when my buddy DASONG found it. The medicine fell next to the water tank. DASONG can testify. "

Luo Mingda asked again, "where is the big pine?"

Da song replied, "Sir, I'm here."

Luo Mingda asked, "report your name, age and native place, and say how things have developed."

Dashong: "yes. Report back to your excellency. Yu Song, a 19-year-old grass man, is from Niutou village in the west of the city. He is now a waiter in the kitchen of Jufu building. Last night, boss Yu came to me and Dazhi and Jiabao to talk about things. It was too late, so we stayed in the store. "

"In the middle of the night, I got up to urinate. Suddenly, I heard a noise from the kitchen window. I went in and looked at it. I found that the window was slowly opening. I think it must be the thief who came in. When I was in a hurry, I hid behind the desk and cabinet, and then saw the man jump in. Then he blew the fire and went directly to the water tank to apply medicine. As soon as I saw it, I was in a hurry. I picked up the rolling pin and rushed out. Later, I shouted. Boss Yu heard it and everyone caught him together. "

Lominda said, "present the powder."

A yamen came forward and took the medicine bag from Yu Qingze and presented it to Luo Mingda.

Luo Mingda opened it and said to the Yamen: "go and ask a doctor to come over and ask for the most prestigious one in the city."

"Yes, my Lord." The Yamen service took orders.

Then, while waiting for the doctor to come, Luo Mingda asked Da Zhi and Jiabao for their confession.

"Niu Qiang, how do you explain?" Lominda asked.

Niu Qiang pouted his hips and said forcefully, "they slander me. I'm just thirsty. I want to go in and scoop a bowl of water. "

Yu Qingze snorted coldly and said, "in the middle of the night, dressed in black and masked, drink water to someone else's house? Are you a fool to be an adult? "

The Niu Qiang also said, "Whoever stipulates that black clothes are not allowed. I'm masked because I'm afraid of the cold wind. The well in your backyard is blocked by a big stone. Otherwise, how can I go into the kitchen?"

"My Lord! You heard, he wanted to poison the well! This man, his heart is punishable! "

"Adult, that bag is prepared by him, and he wants to frame me..."

“……”

Before the doctor arrived, lominda was in the hall watching the two quarrel meaningfully.

The martial master thinks it's beneath the dignity of the court. He suggests whether to shut them up.

Lominda stretched out his hand to stop it and said, "let's just listen. Maybe someone will show his feet?"

The master paused and said with a smile, "Your Excellency is clever."

After a while, the doctor arrived. The Yamen brought Doctor Li.

At this moment, there were more onlookers outside the courthouse. The master of the Cai family got the news and rushed over. And several other leaders who got the news also sent people to inquire about the news.

Pop!

Luo Mingda photographed the startling wood, and the Yamen water and fire sticks on both sides knocked up and shouted "mighty" in his mouth.

Yu Qingze and Niu Qiang stopped.

"Doctor Li, would you please come and see what's in this paper bag?" Lominda said.

"Yes, my Lord." Dr. Li went up to lominda's table, looked at the powder carefully, smelled it again, and then said, "Sir, this bag is Croton powder."

Yu Qingze and others already knew that the medicine powder was Croton powder, but the people watching below didn't know it. At this time, they all talked about it. There was some noise at the door.

Lominda asked, "what is the use of this powder? What if they were all put in the water tank? "

Doctor Li replied, "Croton is hot and poisonous. It belongs to a hot laxative. It can warm the intestines, expel water and reduce bloating, stagnate overnight food and wash away the cold and chronic cold in the intestines and stomach (Note 1). This powder only needs a little to defecate. If the whole package is put into a water tank, it will cause mild diarrhea for three days after ingestion, and even death in severe cases. If children and old people eat by mistake, something serious will happen. "

As soon as the people outside the hall listened, their voices became louder.

"The man who killed thousands of knives, our family often went to Jufu building to have a tooth offering. He was eating bean flour in his food. It's hateful."

"Yes, yes. My old man also likes to eat jufulou food. He said he would eat it at noon today. If he succeeds, what can my old man do? Fortunately, boss Yu, they caught the thief! "

"Never let him go! Those who poison people in food are not good people. "

“……”

In the hall, Luo Mingda was angry as soon as he heard it. He patted the shock with a loud slap and said angrily, "Niu Qiang, both stolen goods and human evidence are available. What else can you say?"

Fortunately, Fu Lang let him falsely agree to set Jia Xiaoren's words. If he didn't set the words, Jia Xiaoren acted on his own. Wouldn't he also eat the rice and fried dishes cooked with croton powder?!

Niu Qiang looked at the county magistrate and didn't know how to react. It's different from what he said. What should he do at this time?

"Say! Why did you go to Jufu building to take medicine to harm people? Is it your own meaning or someone behind it? " Lominda asked angrily.

Niu Qiang is still frowning and thinking.

Seeing this, Luo Mingda said angrily, "if you don't see the coffin, don't shed tears. Drag it out for me..."

"Wait, I said I said!" Seeing that the county magistrate wants to hit the board again, Niu Qiang hurriedly said.

"Give me an honest account!"

Niu Qiang replied: "... My little brother had dinner in Jufu building last month and had diarrhea when he came home. He was lying in bed for more than half a month. My father went to Jufu building to ask them for an explanation. Unexpectedly, they refused to admit. I was angry. I just wanted to teach them a lesson."

Luo Mingda asked Yu Qingze and said, "is there such a thing?"

Yu Qingze shook his head and said, "report back to your excellency, there is no such thing. Last month, no guests of Jufu building came to us for advice. Since the opening of Jufu building, all the guests said yes and never received any bad comments from the guests. You can ask the guys of quanjufu building for confirmation. The guests of Jufu building can also prove that there has never been any problem with the dishes of Jufu building. "

Luo Mingda believed it. He ate it every day and there was no problem. However, as a county magistrate, he still has the responsibility to ask the witness.

He then inquired about Da song's family treasure and Da Zhi. Several of the people watching behind volunteered to prove that they had eaten in Jufu building and tasted very good. They had never had diarrhea.

The Niu Qiang said, "anyway, my little brother has diarrhea."

Yu Qingze asked, "what did he eat?"

Niu Qiang had just been in Tongshan city for two days. He didn't know what dishes were in the Jufu building. He only saw someone selling preserved meat in front of their door and said, "that's what preserved meat!"

Yu Qingze humed and said with a smile, "my Lord, he is careless. Our cured meat has only been sold these days. It hasn't been sold last month!"

The Niu Qiang said again, "it's not preserved meat, it's that, what duck!" He heard people above say that Jufu building stole their signature dishes.

"Drunk duck?" Yu Qingze asked.

"Yes! It's a drunk duck! " Niu Qiang is sure.

"Are you sure?" Yu Qingze asked.

"It's a drunk duck!"

Yu Qingze smiled and said to Luo Mingda, "Sir, the drunk duck in Jufu building was only launched this month, but it was not launched last month. This Niu Qiang is full of nonsense. He's upside down. He planted and framed my Jufu building. Please do justice for me. "

When Niu Qiang heard this, he was also wrong and a little flustered.

At this time, the man looking out suddenly grabbed his brother's arm and said, "brother, I remember who this man is!"

"Who?" The elder brother asked.

The brother whispered it in his big brother's ear.

The big brother frowned and said, "are you sure?"

The younger brother nodded, "sure, I've seen it twice. I can't be wrong. I remember the mole on his chin very clearly."

The eldest brother patted his brother on the shoulder, gnashing his teeth and said, "his grandfather's, it's him! Let's go and make it clear to adults. It's said that Lord Luo's father is Lord Shangshu. We can't let them run away this time. "

The younger brother nodded and looked angry.

Then the brothers squeezed through the crowd and stepped into the court. The younger brother shouted to lominda, "my Lord! The grass people have something important to report! "

Lominda looked up at the door and asked, "who's making noise?"

The brothers knelt down on the spot and kowtowed. Then the younger brother said, "my Lord, Cao min, Cao Yuan, a villager of Wulipo outside Qingzhou City, this is my eldest brother Cao Ming. I know Niu Qiang. He is not Niu Qiang, but Niu San. He deceived you! "

As soon as the words came out, the hall was shocked.

"Not Niu Qiang? Is it Niu San? "

"Dare to lie and deceive adults in the court!"

“……”

Yu Qingze was surprised when they heard that Niu Qiang was not Niu Qiang? What's inside?

Luo Mingda was even more angry and said, "how unreasonable! Cao Yuan, come forward and answer! "

The brothers came forward and saluted.

Luo Mingda said, "Cao Yuan, make it clear, who is he? Say what you know. "

"Yes, my Lord." Cao Yuan raised his head and said, "Sir, his name is not Niu Qiang, nor is he from Tongshan. His name is Niu San. He is a servant of the Jia family in Qingzhou City. However, he does not work in the Jia family, but in other courtyards outside the city. The other courtyard is not far from our village. The grass people have seen it several times. "

As soon as Yu Qingze heard this, he quickly hugged his fist and said to Luo Mingda, "Sir, I want to sue Jia Xiaoren, the boss of xiangmanyuan on North Street, for deliberately murdering. Please be fair."
