Chapter 535

If the handkerchief is taken out in public, people can't look at it carefully with the similar degree of the two handkerchiefs. They will surely believe the escort more. In such a noisy environment and unexplained disputes, there is no way to dispassionately prove that the escort is cheating. If the escort runs away in agony, the matter will be even more unclear. Lin Ruonan is a black pot. In ancient times, it is so unfair to women.

But now Xu Zifan has moved the matter to the court. It is not clear that no one is allowed to leave, no one is allowed to make noise, and there is a special xiuniang identification. Naturally, everyone can listen to their confrontation and see the development of the matter.

Xiuniang carefully compared the handkerchief of Lin Ruonan and the escort, and quickly picked out many different places. Even the embroidery techniques were similar, but not the same. A moment later, xiuniang asserted, "my Lord, these two embroidered handkerchiefs were not made by one person. The trace of this embroidery is more like imitation."

The imitated one was naturally the one of the escort. He broke out a cold sweat on his forehead and forced him to say, "your honor, this embroidered handkerchief is indeed given to the grass people by Lin Ruonan. Otherwise, where can the grass people get this kind of embroidered handkerchief and mistreat her? This is fundamentally unreasonable."

Xu Zifan snorted, "it's really unreasonable for someone you don't know to do such a thing. That's why I suspect that you have other plans, or even collusion with your accomplices

The county magistrate felt a headache for his words and frowned: "Xu Zifan, do you have any evidence for your suspicions?"

Xu Zifan made a salute, "my Lord, when the grass people encounter this strange event today, they are puzzled by this man's wronging his wife. They think about it and have two guesses. First, he came up with a stupid trick to take advantage of the world's concern for women's reputation, slander women's innocence, and make them frustrated, nowhere to go, or even commit suicide. Either way, it is convenient for him to secretly take people away, and then make a false appearance that a woman is ashamed of herself. Surely no one will investigate carefully, so that he can get rich. If you look at the embroidered handkerchief and his words, you must have an accomplice.

Second, the grassroots speculate that the malicious slander of this man was instigated to destroy his wife's reputation and stir up discord between our husband and wife, and the future will not be satisfactory. "

"I have not! My Lord, the grassroots have not. What they say is true! "

The county magistrate clapped a startling, "silence!" He looked at Xu Zifan and asked, "have you and your wife become enemies recently?"

Xu Zifan and Lin Ruonan look at each other, and Lin Ruonan thinks of Lin Ruoshan for the first time. "Mr. Chen, before the marriage of the people's wife, she passed on. She didn't get along very well with her original parents, sisters and brothers. A few days ago, Lin Ruoshan, the younger sister of the people's wife, made a big mistake in front of the Bufang gate. If we say that she has a feud, she suspects Lin Ruoshan most. "

There was a chill outside the door. I couldn't imagine that Lin Ruoshan, a little girl, would frame up her sister and destroy her innocence. If Lin Ruoshan really did it, it would be a snake and a scorpion!

The county magistrate asked about Lin Ruoshan's farce that day, but if it's a clue, it's natural to check it. What's more, Xu Zifan's suspicion is reasonable. After his exaggeration, it is not appropriate to simply close the case. There are so many people outside looking at it that the matter must come to light.

The chief escort of the escort agency where the escort works and several escorts who are familiar with him are asked for questions. Several people say that they don't know that the escort has a relationship with the Lin family's daughter, let alone that the escort has a good relationship with him. Instead, they often hear him say that his family has no permanent property and can't marry.

Soon, the officials found twenty Liang silver tickets from the Escort's house, and four members of Lin Ruoshan's family were taken to the court.

In addition to Lin Ruoshan, the three members of the Lin family were very angry. As soon as Lin Yaozu saw Lin Ruonan, he scolded: "what's your heart?"? What do you have to do with us if you make trouble with the officials yourself? On weekdays, he said that he had passed on and didn't deal with us. Now when something happened, he pulled us up. You have to die by yourself. Don't drag us on! "

"Silence!" The county magistrate frowned. Lin Yaozu's attitude was in response to the words that the Lin family and Lin Ruonan were feuding. He was more suspicious of the Lin family.

Lin Ruoshan's face was pale. She had never been to the court in her two life. She was the messenger of the Lord again. She was very scared. As the escort yelled, he couldn't help looking at the four of them, trying to see if one of them had given him the silver note. However, the two of them looked suspicious in the eyes of the county magistrate.

The county magistrate asked the escort where the twenty Liang silver note came from. Previously, the escort said that he was the money he had saved by hard work. But the chief escort and other escorts were there. When asked, he knew that he had never been hard. He was the only one in his family. The whole family was not hungry. He also drank and ate meat outside. He never treated himself badly.

In this way, his words would not hold water, and even the people who were watching were talking quietly, which increased the suspicion of him.

Twenty Liang silver is not a small amount of money. For ordinary people, it is a large amount of money. The escort couldn't explain where the silver note came from, so he was sweating.

Lin Fu pressed down his anger and respectfully said: "my Lord, this is a dispute between this man and Lin Ruonan. Lin Ruonan is the niece of the grass people. This matter has nothing to do with the grass people's family. Please take your advice."

The county magistrate took a look at Lin Ruoshan. Lin Ruoshan lowered her head and could not see her expression clearly, but her collar was wet with sweat. Why are irrelevant people so nervous? It's not like you didn't know it.

He clapped a lot of startled trees, and sternly questioned the escort: "what is your intention? Are you really like what Xu Zifan said, setting a trap to sell women for money? The twenty Liang silver note should be stolen money. Tell me quickly. Where are your accomplicesThat's a big charge. You're going to jail! Finally, the escort couldn't carry it. He fell down on the ground and said in a panic, "my Lord! Adults, the grassroots know that they have wronged Lin Ruonan, but the grassroots were instructed to give them 20 Liang silver notes to destroy Lin Ruonan's innocence. They also promised to give them 30 Liang silver notes after the success. The grassroots and the grassroots are obsessed with money. They are tempted for a moment and agree to come down. They also want to use the money to get married, have children and live happily. My Lord, the grassroots really know that they are wrong. Please forgive me. "

The county magistrate rebuked: "who is the principal envoy? Come on

"The grassroots really don't know, my Lord. That man was wearing a curtain hat that day. The grassroots only know that it is a woman, and the rest is unknown." The escort told the whole story and said all he knew anxiously. He didn't dare to hide half of it.

When he said that, the county magistrate had been paying attention to the reactions of the four members of the Lin family. He noticed that Lin Fu, Wang and Lin Yaozu were all gloating. They didn't want to know about it. But Lin Ruoshan was very nervous and kept his head down, which was very suspicious.

He asked the escort when, when and where he met with the headdress girl, and asked the escort to describe in detail the clothes she wore on that day. The escort was asked to do such a thing because of an accident that day. He was very curious about the girl with a hat. He really observed it carefully and said it in great detail.

Xu Zifan saluted: "my Lord, the grassroots have a bold request to paint a painting. I also wish that the image of the woman in this population can be easily found."

"Exactly." The county magistrate waved his hand and agreed, and immediately someone brought a book case for Xu Zifan to paint.

Xu Zifan sketched out the general image in a few strokes. At the same time, Shaohua showed the image of Lin Ruoshan wearing a curtain hat to the escort. Xu Zifan painted according to the image, which is not like the truth? The escort was surprised when he saw the finished picture. He quickly pointed to the portrait and exclaimed, "it's her! It's the woman in the painting who instructs the grassroots. That's right! "

Lin Ruoshan's face is even whiter. Why didn't she know that Xu Zifan was so good at painting that she just listened to other people's descriptions and drew her out? But for the woman in the picture, she would have fainted!

The county magistrate suddenly asked Lin Ruoshan, "Lin's daughter, where were you at that time and who could testify?"

Lin Ruoshan was shocked. She didn't know how to ask her. She couldn't say clearly, "minnu On that day, that day... "

Wang's face changed slightly. She guessed that she was playing a trick. She was busy with a smile and said, "my Lord, the little girl was with the people's wife on that day..."

"I don't ask you. Be quiet. Lin Ruoshan, but do you mean to slander Lin Ruonan? Come to the truth

"The women of the people and the women of the people have not, wronged, wronged, my Lord!" Lin Ruoshan has never met an official. Before that, she was very happy to know that her wine was sold to the county magistrate. Now she is so scared that she is pale when she is confronted by the county magistrate.

The handling of a case depends on clues, but experience is also very important. The county magistrate, in combination with the causes and consequences, thinks that Lin Ruoshan is the most suspicious. Seeing Lin Ruoshan scared, he simply ordered the officials to search the Lin family with xiuniang.

The official quickly brought back a dress and a curtain hat, which matched the portrait of Xu Zifan. The fragmentary cloth and embroidery thread found by xiuniang are the same as the embroidered handkerchief of the escort. In addition, the official also found a common purse in Lin Ruoshan's room, which contained thirty Liang silver notes.

These are conclusive evidence in ancient times. The county magistrate snorted, "Lin Ruoshan, what else can you say?"

In order to get rid of the crime, the escort pointed at Lin Ruoshan and yelled: "yes, it's her. She ordered me. I'm just an accessory. She's the mastermind. She gave me the handkerchief. Also, she asked me to say that Lin Ruonan and I had been engaged for more than three years. She told me several things about Lin Ruonan. I never had a chance to say that if it wasn't for my family, who would have known so much about Lin Ruonan? That's her! My Lord, the grass people want to make a mistake for a moment, but she is the culprit, my lord... "

The Yamen on both sides of the court knocked on the ground with sticks to make him quiet. The escort didn't dare to make a sound. All the people who exclaimed and discussed outside the door also stopped. Only Lin Ruoshan was lying on the ground trembling, and her teeth trembled and said, "my Lord, the people's daughter is wronged. It's not me, it's not me, I don't have it, and the people's daughter is wronged..."

The county magistrate said in a deep voice: "Lin Ruoshan and Lin Ruonan have a long history of resentment. Lin Ruoshan's mind is vicious. He ordered others to destroy Lin Ruonan's innocent reputation. He sentenced him to 20 taels of silver to compensate Lin Ruonan. He hit the 20 boards and executed him again!"

Two yamen soldiers came forward to pull people in front of them. Lin Ruoshan screamed and passed out. But after being hit by a board, she woke up again with pain, and the sound of crying and Howling was endless.

Wang immediately cried out, "evil, how can this happen? How could this happen? "

Lin Fu hid his face with his sleeve, and was deeply humiliated. He was eager to find a way to get in. Lin Yaozu was very happy, and his heart was very happy. The board in the Yamen servant's hand wanted to fight a few times by himself.
