Chapter 450

The magistrate was deliberately biased. He looked at the square seal over and over several times, and then slowly said, "you said that the square jade seal was obtained from manager Tan, but can someone testify?"

"This..."

The man hesitated for a moment and then said, "my Lord, there is no one to testify."

Shopkeeper Tan said immediately: "since there is no one to testify, how can it be said that it belongs to me? Maybe this person is the one that shopkeeper Xia specially found, just for the purpose of planting and slandering me. "

The magistrate followed manager Tan's words and asked Xia Yi, "manager Xia, do you recognize him?"

"Oh." Xia Yi is light, full of scornful irony.

"Magistrate, the people's daughter has never done it. Why do you want to recognize it?"

"It's not difficult to know whose seal it is. Although the seal does not recognize the owner, it is not difficult to check the bag containing the seal. "

"It seems that the material used for the bag is of first-class quality. As long as you find a cloth shop selling this kind of material and check its market, it's not difficult to find the owner of this material."

As soon as Xia Yi's voice fell, manager Tan's face froze.

As like as two peas, he was not clear about the material, but his wife did it. But he did have a dress that was exactly the same as that bag. It was a newly made garment recently.

And the dress is comfortable and well cut. He likes it very much, so he has worn it several times in the past month.

If he remembers correctly, it was the one he came to the magistrate two days ago.

The magistrate, as if remembering it, said calmly, "are you investigating a case with the instructor? These officers will naturally send people to investigate. "

"I dare not. The magistrate is a good judge of the case. The people's daughter is just showing off her cleverness. You have to come to investigate the case."

It takes a lot of work to find out about the cloth.

After the magistrate handed over the cloth to the official, he decided to withdraw.

Even if the fake seal was taken out, the magistrate did not plan to give the result today.

But unexpectedly, on the way, he killed another Cheng Yaojin.

Another man went to court and claimed to be a witness in the case.

"Who are you?" The magistrate looked at the people under the hall and asked.

This person walks to the side of Xia Yi and stops. Xia Yi looks like she's in her fifties.

This age is estimated from the wrinkles around the eyes. The rest of the eyes look younger than at least ten years.

His skin was white, as if it had been out of the sun for a long time.

After he stands in front of Xia Yi, Xia Yi glimpses that the skin on his hand seems to be very rough, with a thick layer of calluses.

Xia Yi immediately guessed the identity of the man.

But she couldn't believe it.

After all, the craftsman has disappeared. Even if he was not taken away by manager Tan, he has no reason to admit it in court.

In Xiliang, it's a prison to carve seals without permission.

Unless jiulixiang finds a craftsman and holds the handle of the craftsman

It was not until the man spoke that Xia Yi's guess was verified.

"Lord Hui, Xiao Min's surname is Ma, and his single name is Zhong. Xiaomin happens to have a craft. No matter what kind of pattern, Xiaomin can engrave it on the seal very much. Sometimes Xiaomin also depends on this craft to eat... "

Although Ma Zhong's words are extremely obscure, we can also hear the meaning of these words.

"You mean you carved this jade seal?" Asked the magistrate.

Ma Zhong nodded, "it's Xiaomin."

"Do you have official documents?" The magistrate asked again.

Without hesitation, Ma Zhong replied, "No

"So you're carving a seal for yourself? Do you know that according to the law of Xiliang, if you carve a seal without permission, you will be sent to prison for two years or ten years

"My Lord, can Xiaomin take the initiative to help you solve the case

As soon as the magistrate choked, he had been an official for 20 or 30 years and had never encountered such a situation.

Even Xia Yi never thought of it.

What did jiulixiang do to Ma Zhong?

Or how much did you promise him?

How can Ma Zhong willingly go to jail and come to court to identify him.

To tell you the truth, as long as Ma Zhong doesn't engrave a dragon seal or official seal, the government will not take the initiative to check it. He can even get old safely.

Without waiting for the magistrate to answer, Ma Zhong said, "this seal was carved by the villain, manager Tan. The jade used by the villain is cut from the same material as this one. You can compare the patterns."

Ma Zhong took out a square jade and was quickly presented to the magistrate.

Jade materials are not very good materials, there are many impurities, and the color is not uniform. Just in this way, without a little contrast, we can compare that the material is really cut from a piece of material, and even the jade belt formed in the place with heavy color can match.

One evidence after another, all of which point to shopkeeper tan.

Even if the magistrate is willing to protect manager Tan, he is powerless.

Rao's money is important, and he can't be so confused for a small profit.

Today's case concerns a lot of people, even the people outside the court are more than twice as many as usual.

If there is only one deed, he can do something, but now the magistrate dare not be presumptuous.

What's more, it's at the foot of the emperor.

Today's event makes the magistrate have to look at Xia Yi with new eyes.

In such a short time, she could find so much evidence. No wonder she dared to appear in court.

In the end, the magistrate had to make the deed of manager Tan invalid, and seized and destroyed the seal.

As for manager Tan, he was also taken into custody because of his private seal.

It's just that shopkeeper Tan has some skills. He just came out after three days in the government.

Of course, it's also an accommodation.

Moreover, this money was several times more than the sum he gave to the magistrate that day, and it could not be saved at all.

As for the follow-up, few people pay attention to it.

Because everyone is attracted by another thing.

Xia Yi takes advantage of the success of the case, deliberately let people go to the street to spread the reason why shopkeeper Tan deliberately wants to poach Tang Ziyuan.

For a time, the mutton hotpot in Ruyi building became more popular, and the mutton in the capital was more expensive.

This time, thanks to the help of jiulixiang.

Xia Yi specially bought a few catties of good mutton to make mutton hot pot, and invited jiulixiang home to thank her.

In order to avoid causing trouble to Xia Yi, jiulixiang specially changed the clothes and went to the room.

Jiulixiang couldn't wait to take the chopsticks, took the biggest piece of mutton, and said, "I'm worried that I can't get the mutton hot pot in your Ruyi building."

Xia Yi said with a smile: "thanks to Jiuniang's help, if not, master Tang would not be in Ruyi building, and mutton hot pot would not be as popular as it is now."

"Little things. Thanks to your intelligence, let me find someone to steal the seal. " Murray road.

Xia Yi conveniently sandwiched a piece of meat for jiulixiang and said, "thank Jiuniang for finding Ma Zhong."

"Ma Zhong? Didn't you find it? " Nine Li incense moves a meal, raise head to ask a way.

Xia Yi is also stunned. She thought that Ma Zhong was found by jiulixiang, but jiulixiang's reaction seems to be completely unknown.

So why did Ma Zhong appear?
