A car accident, our family of three crossed

The county magistrate looked at the man below with an unpredictable expression. He was tied up in the court, but he still refused to behave himself.

The county magistrate was very unhappy about this. He slammed the gavel and asked, "Who is here? Tell me your name."

Lin Laoliu suddenly came to his senses and immediately kowtowed and replied, "Your Excellency, I am Lin Laoliu, and I am currently working in the workshop of the Mei's Rouge Shop."

Hang Shuheng smiled and reminded, "There are two rouge shops with the name Mei in our county. Which Mei are you talking about? Is it Mr. Mei's in the east city, or Mrs. Mei's in the south city?"

Lin Laoliu shrank his neck and corrected, "Yes, it's the Mei's Rouge Shop owned by Mr. Mei in the east of the city."

After the problem was corrected, Hang Shuheng said nothing more and handed over the power to the county magistrate.

"Lin Laoliu, I want to ask you, do you recognize these people?"

Lin Laoliu glanced at a few people politely, and when he saw Mei and Lin Sancai, he deliberately made a surprised expression.

"Miss, Brother Sancai, why are you here?" After greeting him, he pretended to reply to the county magistrate, "Your Excellency, these two are my acquaintances. They are the eldest daughter of the Mei Mansion and a master in the eldest daughter's workshop."

The county magistrate asked again: "What about this mother and son?"

Lin Laoliu shook his head and denied it flatly, "I don't know these two young men."

"You're talking nonsense." The old woman didn't care about the pain in her body and yelled at Lin Lao, "It was you who gave me the poison and the lip balm mixed with poison, and asked me to poison my daughter-in-law and then go to Mei's Rouge Shop to cause trouble."

She had admitted the crime anyway. She was going to die, so she didn't mind dragging someone else down with her. Besides, she didn't lie.

"Poison, what poison? I don't know what poison it is. Don't talk nonsense here. I don't even know you."

Seeing that he denied it, the old woman turned around and kowtowed to the county magistrate and said, "Sir, I am not lying. It was him who gave me the poison bag and the poison lip balm. Sir, you must not let him go."

"Sir, it's unfair! I really don't know them." Lin Laoliu thought, they had no evidence to prove that he was the one who provided the poison, and as long as he gritted his teeth and denied it, they would have no choice.

The county magistrate said, "You said you didn't know them, so why did they identify you?"

"I don't know. Maybe they recognized the wrong person."

"Then, Lin Sancai also pointed out that you provided him with arsenic and asked him to mix it into the lip balm of the Rouge Shop. How do you explain it?"

When Lin Laoliu heard this, he immediately pretended to be shocked and looked at Lin Sancai and said, "Brother Sancai, how could you harm me? Even if we had a few arguments a few days ago, you don't have to harm me like this!"

"You, what are you doing..." Lin Sancai didn't expect that the person he had worked with for so many years would still have such a face. This ability to turn the tables was really infuriating. "It's obvious that you are angry that the eldest lady kicked you out, so you instigated me to poison and frame the eldest lady."

"I didn't do it. I only had a few drinks with you and talked about the past. I didn't ask you to do anything, let alone poison someone. You don't have any evidence, so you can't just slander me."

After watching them biting each other for a while, Hang Shuheng was so angry that he laughed when he heard this.

This Lao Liu is quite capable. He even knows to use evidence when speaking and doing things. No wonder he has the courage to harm others.

Not to mention that Hang Shuheng was so angry that he laughed, even the county magistrate was very angry with his unreasonable and stubborn attitude.

Suddenly, a bundle was thrown in front of Lin Laoliu. When he saw the bundle, his face turned pale instantly.

Zhou Yin said coldly: "Hasn't anyone told you that you should clean up your mess after doing something bad? Do you want to see what's in this bundle?"

"What is that?" The county magistrate was a little confused and motioned the bailiff to open it and take a look.

The bailiff took the order and went forward to open the bundle, revealing a number of valuable items inside, as well as a contract to sell one's body belonging to Lin Laoliu.

More importantly, in addition to these things, there was also a small paper bag containing some powdery substances.

The yamen runner was shocked and had already made a guess. He quickly went to the county magistrate and said, "Sir, this is physical evidence."

Upon hearing this, the county magistrate even subconsciously stepped back and glared at the bailiff in dissatisfaction.

What a joke, this stuff is highly poisonous. This brainless bailiff just came up to him so carelessly, not even afraid of tripping, and directly put the powder into his mouth.

After taking a look, he did not ask the doctor or the coroner to examine it, but directly asked Lin Laoliu, "Lin Laoliu, tell me, what is this?"

Without the Snake Orchid, Lin Laoliu was so panicked that he didn't know how to defend himself.

He had prepared the bundle long ago and hid it in a very secret place, but he didn't expect that it would be found by someone.

In order to be prepared to escape at any time, he even stole the indenture from Master Mei, thinking that after he had avoided the limelight, he would take the indenture to the government to cancel his slave status, and from then on he would be able to run away.

And what was wrapped in the small paper bag was the leftover arsenic. He didn't think of throwing it away, but wanted to keep it with him in case of emergency.

Who could have thought that this would eventually become the key evidence that cost him his life.

But even so, with the facts before him, he still made a final dying struggle.

"My lord, I don't know. My lord, you can see clearly that someone must have deliberately put that thing in my bag in order to frame me."

"How dare you! The evidence is all before your eyes, and you still dare to quibble." The county magistrate didn't want to listen to his quibbling this time, so he slammed the gavel heavily and shouted, "Come here, drag this fellow away and give him twenty lashes of the cane."

Even at this time, Lin Laoliu still refused to give in and shouted that he was innocent. He was dragged away and endured the twenty lashes of the board.

When he was finally dragged back to the court, he was still muttering the word "wronged". His determined look almost made the people watching outside the court believe that he was really wronged.

Then, some people in the crowd began to whisper, "Could that man really be wrongly accused? Look, he has been beaten with 20 sticks, but he still refuses to change his words."

Someone with clear thinking on the side immediately reminded him: "That's something that could kill people. If you were him, would you dare to change your words?"

"Yeah, that's true." The person who spoke earlier was suddenly ashamed and stopped talking.
