The fragrance of medicine is alluring, the farm elder sister is cool and cool
Chapter 63: What's the matter? Go to the government office and talk about it
Then the crowd of onlookers consciously made way for them. Several yamen runners dismounted and squeezed in from the crowd.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way."
When the village chief Xu Feng saw the yamen runners coming, he saluted and said, "Sir, I am the village chief of Yueya Village. These people are not from our village. Please stop the coffin at the door of our villager's house."
When the Wang family saw the yamen runners coming, they didn't even bother to cry, and Old Lady Wang even rushed over and cried.
Several yamen runners glanced at Old Lady Wang indifferently. Before they understood what had happened, they saw Old Lady Wang throw herself under their robes and cry, and immediately raised their feet to push her away in annoyance.
Old Wang winked, and several daughters-in-law of the Wang family helped Old Lady Wang up. Old Wang stepped forward, bowed, and saluted.
"Sir, we want to sue Wen Qingcheng from Crescent Moon Village for killing my brother."
As soon as these words were spoken, a heated discussion immediately broke out among the crowd.
"How could it be that the girl from the Wen family killed him? Didn't Wang Laowu run to the roof of someone's house and fall to his death?"
"That's right. The mother and daughter of the Wen family are so unlucky. Building a house is supposed to be a happy event, but they have to deal with something like this."
The gate of the Wen family courtyard opened with a creaky sound, and Wen Qingcheng walked out in a plain white dress, her eyes sweeping over everyone.
"Wang Laowu's death has nothing to do with our Wen family. The Wang family brought the coffin here to make trouble. I will sue them for provoking trouble and defamation!"
When the brothers of the Wang family saw Wen Qingcheng, they all looked like they wanted to tear her apart. The third brother of the Wang family said, "It was you who killed my brother. You must pay with your life."
"How did I harm him? Did I poison him? Or did I kill him with a knife?"
The third son of the Wang family was speechless for a moment, but the second son of the Wang family was quick-witted and said immediately: "He died in your house!"
"Nonsense. First, no one allowed him to come to the construction site of our new house. Second, he climbed onto the roof on his own. I didn't let him go up there."
Wen Qingcheng originally wanted to say that there were so many people present at the time, and they all watched him go up to the roof without trying to stop him. Could it be that they were all responsible? Wen Qingcheng was afraid that if she said that, the Wang family would take advantage of this to blackmail Peng Ge'er and the others, so she had to give up.
"You stinky bitch, you still want to shirk responsibility? It's all your fault, it's all your fault!" Wang Laoer was impulsive. When he heard Wen Qingcheng cleared him of all blame, he immediately became angry and rushed over to hit Wen Qingcheng.
Chuyi quickly blocked Wen Qingcheng's way and restrained Wang Laoer with one hand.
"Don't fight!" With an angry shout, several yamen runners quickly stepped forward and stopped Chuyi and Wang Laoer who were about to fight. The Wang family and the Wen family each insisted on their own opinions and quarreled fiercely. The yamen runners looked at each other in bewilderment.
"Your case is a bit complicated. It's so hot, and if you carry the dead here, they will rot and stink very quickly. Since it has happened, let the dead rest in peace as soon as possible. Both of you should go to the county government to resolve it."
A bearded yamen runner said solemnly, "Hurry up and take the coffin away. Once your case is brought to the yamen, they will investigate it thoroughly and give you both justice."
Wen Qingcheng said calmly, "Okay, I'll go back to the county government with you."
Ye Xiuying stopped Wen Qingcheng, looking worried. She knew that it was impossible to get out of a place like the county government in one piece.
"No, Qingcheng, you and Chuyi wait at home, I'll go by myself."
"Mom, how could I let you go? They said I killed Wang Laowu, so naturally I should go and explain it clearly."
Seeing the mother and daughter arguing, the yamen runner said sullenly, "You think you are going to your grandmother's house. Someone will come to summon you. You are Wen Qingcheng, right? Take her away!"
Two yamen runners came forward to take Wen Qingcheng away. Chuyi stepped forward quickly, stretched out his hand to block them, turned his head and looked at them with a solemn and cold expression. The two yamen runners were slightly startled, then reacted and immediately darkened their faces, "Do you want to interfere with the police in their investigation?"
Ye Xiuying stood in front of Chuyi and said softly, "This is my son-in-law. He is not very smart and is a fool. Your Excellency, please don't bother with him."
Several officers looked Chuyi up and down, suppressed their anger, and said nothing more.
Wen Qingcheng said coldly: "I said I will go with you, no need to arrest me. The county magistrate has not judged me guilty yet, I am not a criminal yet, and I am also going to sue the Wang family!"
The yamen runners had never expected that this ordinary-looking farm girl could be so eloquent! However, they knew very well that even the most eloquent people would become obedient once they entered the county yamen and faced the powerful county magistrate and the severe punishments.
The leading yamen runner glared at Wen Qingcheng fiercely, then waved his hand, signaling his men to take the Wang family away.
The bailiff said indifferently, "Humph, you unruly people, if you have anything to say, just go to the lobby! Come on, take them all away!"
Just like that, Wen Qingcheng and the Wang family were pushed forward by a group of yamen runners. Along the way, Wen Qingcheng always held his head high and showed no fear.
Wang Lao Er took Wang's fourth sister and several brothers' wives to carry the coffin home, while Wang Lao Da, Wang Lao San and Wang Lao Taipo were taken to the county government office.
When they arrived at the gate of the county government office, Old Lady Wang was still cursing Wen Qingcheng, but the leading yamen runner yelled at her and she instantly fell silent like a duck with its neck strangled.
Wen Qingcheng and the others were roughly dragged into the county hall by the officers. Since this case involved a murder, the county magistrate did not dare to neglect it and immediately decided to hold the court to question the case.
The county magistrate was sitting on the high platform. He was slightly fat, with a round belly that seemed to burst his official uniform at any time. He had a serious face and a cold gaze as he scanned the people below.
"My Lord, please stand up for me. It was the Wen family who killed my husband. He died tragically when he was only in his twenties." Wang Laowu's wife cried and blamed all the blame on the Wen family.
"Your family has lost a loved one and is very sad. I understand that, but you cannot ignore the facts, repay kindness with enmity, and put all the blame on others," Wen Qingcheng said.
"Sir, there is no employment relationship between my family and Wang Laowu. He came to our new house to test my medical skills. He fell from the roof, broke his spleen, and died of blood loss and shock. When I arrived, he was already on the verge of death."
Wang Laowu's wife was anxious and raised her voice, "How can it have nothing to do with you? He ate your food, which led to his spleen being broken. You also gave him an injection. Who knows if it was you who caused the injury?"
"Silence! No noise is allowed in the court! Speak when it's your turn." The county magistrate slammed the gavel, scaring Wang Laowu's wife so much that she trembled.
Even if Wang Laowu's wife was fearless in the village, when she arrived in court and faced the majestic county magistrate, she immediately wilted like an eggplant hit by frost.
