Chapter 72
When the old woman heard Zhang Shuqin's betrayal, she immediately bit back.

"Officer, don't listen to this bitch's nonsense. She is the private chef. How can what she said be used as evidence!"

"My lord, as early as this morning, Zhang Shuqin was kicked out by our private chef for gathering a crowd to make trouble. The village chief and the villagers can testify for me."

As soon as Xu Fengjiao finished speaking, the official came to the door.

"Anyone of you who can prove that Zhang Shuqin is not from this private chef should stand up quickly!"

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay. No one had ever seen such a scene. They didn't know what was going on, and they didn't dare to come forward to testify rashly. Even though Zhang Shuqin was driven away, everyone saw the uproar.

Fortunately, Xu Fengjiao had expected this, and arranged for the lady next door to wait in the crowd.

"I can testify!"

The aunt pushed aside the crowd and stood up. Everyone marveled at the courage of the aunt.

"Who are you?"

"The woman is Xu Fengjiao's neighbor. I can testify that Zhang Shuqin was indeed kicked out by Xu Fengjiao in the morning."

After hearing this, Master Guan immediately changed the subject. Since someone testified and pointed the finger at the old woman, why not do it?If the case is not closed, it will be broken if it catches fire.

"Since this is the case, Zhang Shuqin's testimony can be established, that is, this old woman deliberately framed her, come and take this old woman away!"

Speaking of which, the remaining officials stepped forward to tie up the old woman.

"Since the matter has come to light, let's..."

Those officials were all ready to leave, but Xu Fengjiao called them back.

"Wait, officer, this old woman is my father-in-law's adoptive mother. It stands to reason that the better the family's business is, the more money she will make. What reason does she have to frame us and bring us down? Just now Shuqin said it was from Juhefang Instigated by the boss, isn't this malicious competition from the peers? Our family has suffered such grievances for no reason, so we can't let things go hastily!"

Seeing Xu Fengjiao's reluctance, the officials lost their patience.

"All the framers have been arrested, what do you want? It's almost done!"

It's not that these officials didn't hear, it's that the background of the boss of Juhefang should not be underestimated. If he offends him, it is estimated that this official will be regarded as the end.

When Xu Fengjiao saw what the official said, she knew it. Most likely, the owner of Juhefang had some kind of backing. Otherwise, the testimony was so clear that there was no reason to let him go.

However, Han Mu opened his mouth.

"Since the matter has not been investigated clearly, how can I just settle it? If I report this matter to the imperial city with the reputation of being advanced, I am afraid that you will not be able to escape the crime of mutual protection between officials and officials."

Xu Fengjiao really didn't expect Han Mu to be willing to fight like this for herself. Even if the people behind Juhefang are not enough to shake Han Mu's position in the future, after all, Han Mu is still fledgling and cannot easily offend others.

Seeing Han Mu's firm attitude, the boss of Juhefang opened his mouth.

"The county master behind me is different from these village officials. How dare you offend me?!"

Originally, Xu Fengjiao didn't know who the backer behind this person was. Now that it is clear, there is nothing to be afraid of. With Han Mu's current status, although it is not enough to make people fear, it is not something that just any county master would dare to do. provoking.

"The county lord has to abide by the law. You did something like this and moved the county lord out. Not only can we sue you for framing, but we can also sue the county lord for taking bribes!"

The boss of Juhefang was a little flustered now, he didn't expect Xu Fengjiao to be so tough.

"You say I'm framing, what evidence is there, I don't admit it just based on this woman's words."

At this time, the aunt who had been preparing for a long time opened her mouth.

"Officer, the women have been watching the fun in the crowd just now. I heard the conversation between the bald man and the old woman. The old woman said that if the plan is implemented this time, their restaurant will be fine. The bald man said that her son's debts don't have to be paid." I'll pay you back for your hard work!"

When she was in the crowd, Zhang Shuqin deliberately induced the old woman to take the credit for herself, so that they could form their testimony.

"Officer, this old woman is deaf and blind, how could she listen in such detail, she was the only one who heard so many people at the door?!"

The owner of Juhefang was furious, thinking that Xu Fengjiao was not popular, and it was impossible for anyone to come forward to testify.

I don't know who in the crowd shouted.

"We can't let outsiders bully our village. Even my aunt has stood up. Do we still have to be a coward?!"

Hearing this, everyone's cohesion was shouted out. Xu Fengjiao's family's affairs are small, but the reputation of the village and the honor and disgrace of a village are important!
I saw a few young and strong people standing in front one after another, making a speech to the official.

"Master Guan, this bald man said that my aunt is deaf and blind, but we are not deaf! We heard what my aunt said just now. They said it so loudly, it is obvious that they are relying on the support of the county lord to be unscrupulous!"

"Yes, their behavior is simply disgusting!"

"Master Guan, you must handle the case impartially, otherwise our entire village will be sued to the imperial city!"

"Yes! That's right!"

There was a lot of voices, this kind of unity completely subdued several officials and lords, let the boss have anything else to say, this top scholar brought the whole village to make trouble together, no one could hold back.

"Since the evidence is convincing, come and tie him up and take him away!"

Several officials stepped forward and tied up the stubborn owner of Juhefang.

"Master Guan, just now they said that the boss used the old woman's bargaining chip as a debt owed by the old woman's son. How can a wandering, ignorant person go to such an expensive restaurant to eat and pay on credit?"

"what do you mean?"

If there is any other case, it should be dealt with together, so that the county master will not come to make trouble. After all, a person who is at the end of his life, the county master will not ask too much.

I saw that the boss of Juhefang was covered with beads of sweat on his forehead. If this matter was found out, the county master would definitely abandon the car to protect the handsome man and would not care about it anymore.

"what do you mean?"

"My husband-in-law broke up with this old woman long ago, because the old woman united with her son to ask for money. I suspect that this Juhefang is a restaurant business on the surface, but behind it is a gambling shop that eats people and doesn't spit out bones!"

"You spit out blood!"

"Whether it's blood sprayed or not, the official will find out!"

As soon as the official heard it, he became interested, and this matter must be thoroughly investigated to the end. Not only did he avoid the blame of the county master, but it was also a big credit!
"Okay, let's investigate to the end, this cancer that endangers the people must be eradicated!"

Now the whole village was boiling, kneeling on the ground in unison.

"Master is wise!"
