Mom takes her baby to travel through ancient times? Farming and business are both important

But Mr. Wang knew countless people and was not a timid person. He calmly tried to excuse himself.

"Your Excellency, I have been in the county for many years. You can ask me what kind of person I am. It is obvious that the peddler deliberately framed me in this matter."

Compared to the peddler, Mr. Wang was not at all flustered. Even after speaking so much, he was still clear and organized.

"Since it was the peddler who betrayed me, I'd like to ask him if he had really met me and told me these things in person."

"Or has anyone testified for him that I had dealings with the peddler?"

Everyone looked at the peddler, wanting to know his answer.

"What nonsense are you talking about? How can I, how can I..."

The peddler suddenly realized that he seemed to have no evidence to prove that it was Mr. Wang who ordered him to do so.

Because the person who delivered the message was a servant, the two had never met.

Seeing that he was hesitant and unable to say anything, Mr. Wang raised his lips into a smug smile, looking somewhat complacent.

"Look, you can't say it, right? This means you have no evidence at all. If that's the case, how can you say it was me who ordered it?"

At the end of his speech, Mr. Wang was still a little angry, like an honest man who was bullied.

"Quiet, Mr. Wang, you said he slandered you, but what evidence do you have to prove that you have nothing to do with this matter?"

The county magistrate did not believe the two people's one-sided statements. In his mind, no matter what case was being judged, evidence was essential.

"Sir, the peddler just said that he was talking to my servant. Could it be that my servant has a conflict with the child's family and he passed on the message without my permission?"

After all, Mr. Wang was eloquent and with just a few words he pushed all the responsibility onto the servants and peddlers.

The county magistrate thought about it and felt that this was indeed possible, so he ordered people to arrest those servants.

As soon as they arrived in the court, the county magistrate didn't even ask them any questions before they knelt on the ground and began to beg for mercy.

"Please spare me, sir, please spare me. These things were not our ideas. Your Excellency is wise."

Now all three parties came out, and each side claimed that it was not their idea, confusing the people watching around.

"What's going on?"

"I don't know. Everyone seems to make sense, but it doesn't seem consistent."

"Silence, silence. This is not the place for you to argue. Since you both insist on your own opinions, I will interrogate you one by one."

The county magistrate slammed the table, and everyone immediately shut up and dared not speak.

"Peddler, let me ask you, you said it was Mr. Wang who ordered this, then have you ever seen Mr. Wang during this period?"

"I don't have any."

The peddler was silent for a while before speaking, because he really didn't have it.

"Servant, you said it wasn't your idea to kidnap the child, so why did you discuss the kidnapping with the peddler?"

Several servants first looked at Mr. Wang quietly. Not knowing what they saw, their faces suddenly changed and they couldn't even kneel.

One of them answered through gritted teeth.

"Sir, this was our idea. What we said just now was a lie. One time, we went to Bai Zhizhi's shop to buy something and saw some beautiful children. We wanted to sell them for a good price."

"So we thought of using Mr. Wang's name, so that the cooperation with the peddler would go smoothly."

He became more and more angry as he spoke, and finally bloodshot appeared in his eyes, making him look extremely ferocious.

It was precisely because of his appearance that the county magistrate did not doubt his words, and the other servants did not object, and finally they were dragged directly into jail.

As for Mr. Wang, the county magistrate punished him by making him pay 20 taels of silver for not managing his subordinates strictly, thus closing the case.

Bai Zhizhi listened to the entire interrogation process and came out with a gloomy face.

She knew in her heart that this matter must be related to Mr. Wang. After all, it was a well-known fact that he was homosexual.

As for those servants, they were just his scapegoats.

Even if the county court tried him, so what! This matter is not over yet, she will definitely not let Wang Yuanwai go!

She swore fiercely in her heart, looked back at the plaque of the county government office, and turned back to the stall.
