After fleeing famine, I have thousands of acres of fertile land

The people who followed him saw Liu Jing and suddenly realized what was going on. Everyone in the village knew him, but they didn't know why he was here.

They knew about the broken arm, and they heard from Boss Ye that they felt sorry for him.

Tian San helped Xiufen over, her belly was already very obvious.

Seeing the grim look on the man's face, everyone thought he was just too angry.

Ye Qing saw the two people coming and called Tian San, "There's nothing to do here, you can help your sister-in-law go back."

Both of them looked unhappy and turned away after hearing this.

Ye Qing asked Tietou to tie the man up and put him in the yard. The weather was hot now and it would be fine to leave him outside overnight.

"Everyone, please go back quickly. Thank you for coming to help me. Go back to sleep first and send him to the county government office tomorrow."

When the villagers heard this, they went home in groups of three or five, still discussing the man's identity on the way.

Ye Qing left Tietou and Liu Jing to watch over the winery. There were beddings at the gatehouse, so they could sleep there directly.

Ye Qing followed Boss Ye back, and none of them spoke on the way.

After arriving home, Boss Ye asked, "Qingya, do you know that person?"

Ye Qing did not hide anything and told everyone he knew.

Boss Ye and Dalang Ye were stunned. They didn't expect there was such a hidden secret.

The three of them went back to sleep, as there was still some time before dawn.

At daybreak, Ye Qing was awakened by the crowing of a rooster. He got up, washed, had breakfast, and went to the workshop with Boss Ye.

When they went there, they brought breakfast for Tietou and Liu Jing.

When Ye Qing arrived, the two had just woken up and finished their meal. The group drove a ox cart and took the man to the yamen.

When he arrived at Wu'an City, he went straight to the government office and met Zhang, the yamen runner on duty, at the gate.

"Sir, this thief came to our workshop yesterday to steal things and poisoned us. We are here to report it to the police."

Boss Ye is familiar with the yamen servant Zhang, and the villagers who make charcoal will give some to the officials in the yamen.

After hearing what had happened, Yard Officer Zhang turned around and went in to look for Lord Wu.

Lord Wu had just entered the front yamen with square steps when he saw the yamen runner Zhang coming hurriedly over, so he stopped and waited for him.

"Sir, the drunkard from Kaoshan Village came to report to the police that they caught a man stealing wine and poisoning it last night."

Lord Wu raised his eyebrows and took him forward. Wu'an City had a lot of trivial matters every day, but it had never involved a lawsuit involving human life.

If human life is involved, he must report it to the government office, which will greatly affect his superiors' views of him.

Ye Qing didn't go in. She watched at the door. She was not used to kneeling down to get in.

Ye Xuan went in on behalf of Zui Xiang Fang, and Liu Jing also went in. The people he arrested were also considered parties involved.

Before Ye Qing came, he was not interrogated alone, so he didn't know why he wanted to take revenge on the winery.

The man had his mouth blocked the whole time and had not been given anything to eat in the morning. He looked in a miserable state.

Lord Wu had seen this kind of scene many times, so he asked the bailiff to remove the rag and help him kneel down.

After the rag was taken out of his mouth, the man came back to life and started to cry out for justice.

Mr. Qian came over and assisted Lord Wu in judging the case in the court.

Ye Xuan first changed the position of the wine jars he found a few days ago, and then found that vinegar was added to the three jars of wine, and then handed a piece of paper to the yamen runner next to him.

"Sir, the print on this piece of paper is the size of the footprint left by that person last time. Just compare it with his and you'll know if it's his."

The man subconsciously retracted his feet and cried bitterly.

Liu Jing recounted what happened tonight. He was sleeping in the warehouse and was awakened by a noise. He saw the man sneaking in, grabbing a wine jar and pouring something into it.

He immediately stood up and caught the thief.

It just appeared suddenly, and the man was frightened and let out a scream, waking up the whole village.

Lord Wu had a serious expression on his face. He looked at the man who was crying bitterly and felt annoyed. He thought, "He's not a child. Why is he crying?"

Yamen runner Zhang saw that Lord Wu was impatient and shouted at the man, "Talk properly in the court, don't cry, and say what you want to say quickly."

The man introduced himself first, saying that he was from the city and his name was Ding Shi.

Because he was short and fat, everyone called him Tongzi, like a bucket, short and thick. Over time, no one remembered his original name.

"Sir, I'm not a thief. I'm just passing by and went to the wrong place."

Ye Xuan was incredulous. "You mean, the door was locked and you walked in through the wrong wall? What are you doing in our village?"

The people standing outside the door watching the fun laughed out loud. It was not in vain that I came here today to encounter such a weird thing.

It’s so interesting that I can tell people about it for three days when I get back.

Ye Xuan continued, "Sir, we also brought the wine he used to stuff the food in. Could you please test what's in it?"

Mr. Qian asked a bailiff to take the wine out and continued the trial.

Ding Shi refused to plead guilty, so Lord Wu first ordered the bailiffs to beat him with ten boards.

Just after the ten great beatings were finished, the bailiff who had just left came back, leaned close to Master Qian's ear, and whispered two words.

Master Qian's expression changed. He walked to Lord Wu and whispered the result and his own judgment.

"Ding Shi, it has been found out now that you poisoned the person with arsenic. If you don't explain yourself, you will be executed later." Lord Wu glared at him.

Ding Shi was frightened and trembled. His butt hurt so much that he barely knelt on the ground.

Ding Shi saw that the drug had been found and the footprints were exactly the same as his, but he still wanted to deny it.

The people watching the excitement outside the door broke out in cold sweats when they heard the word arsenic. This is something that can really kill people.

Ye Xuan was so scared that tears came out of his eyes. If they hadn't discovered this, the wine would have been drunk by someone and killed, which would have been a psychological trauma for their entire lives.

"Sir, please punish him severely. If he is released like this, what if he drugs other families next time? After all, there is no grudge between our two families."

The people outside the door became even angrier. Such a vicious person had appeared in Wu'an City. They no longer dared to eat outside.

Ye Qing shouted in the crowd, "Severely punish Ding Shi, severely punish Ding Shi."

The people around shouted along, and the anger and panic made everyone extremely united.

Ding Shi was so frightened that he collapsed. "How can there be no grudges? These wines should belong to my family, and all the money is mine."

There was a lot of noise outside just now, but now it is silent. This is the basic quality of a melon-eater, not to miss a single bite of the melon.

"Why do you say that? What evidence do you have that this wine is yours?"

As soon as Lord Wu finished speaking, Ye Xuan quickly argued, "Sir, this is the wine we brewed jar by jar with great effort. How can it be his wine?"

Master Qian reminded Ding Shi, "Every word you say is evidence. Don't frame others. Think before you speak."

Boss Ye started to panic, glanced at Ye Qing, and his daughter's expression became normal. She slowly calmed down and waited to see what Ding Shi would say.
