The Vicious Fat Wife Dressed as a Disabled General

Chapter 356
"Bold! What nonsense! This private salt was found in your shop. What evidence do you need? When you asked me to issue a salt ticket, you always thought that the official gave you too little salt ticket. You have such a small shop. , why do you need so much salt?"

"My lord, why do I need salt? I have reported it to you at the beginning. I want to marinate salted duck eggs, and I want to marinate the goods. Naturally, the amount of salt used is a lot. What's the problem?"

The county magistrate snorted coldly: "Since the amount of salt used is large, it is even more suspicious to buy private salt. As we all know, the price of this private salt is twice as low as that of official salt and there is no limit!

I think you are a first offender, if you confess honestly and admit your mistakes, this officer will deal with it as appropriate. "

Discretionary?

Jiang Zhinuan is not a fool!
She is very clear that the county magistrate is just trying to trick her into pleading guilty, as long as the charge is established, what is the discretion?It is impossible!

I'm afraid she has to be punished harshly, for selling illegal salt, to put it lightly, to confiscate property and serve a prison sentence.

To put it seriously, it is possible to lose your head.

Jiang Zhinuan, how can you admit to something you haven't done yourself?

"I have never bought private salt, this matter was framed by someone, I do not admit it, I demand to confront that salt dealer!

I went to the salt shop a few times before, and every time he blocked me at the entrance of the salt shop, trying to sell me private salt, but I refused every time, my lord, if you suspect that I am buying private salt, then sell the salt The trafficker was arrested and confronted! "

The magistrate of the county seemed to be a little impatient, and gave another heavy blow on the gavel: "If you refuse to plead guilty, the crime will be increased! Come on, let's hit the [-]th board first, and beat her until she moves!"

Jiang Zhinuan stopped kneeling and stood up directly: "What? The magistrate is about to be tortured?"

She knew that Zhao Hongxia was watching from the crowd, so she turned her head and said loudly: "I have been wronged, please go to the county or the state, even if you go to the king's city to sue, you must also return my innocence!
The magistrate of the county wants to be tortured into a trick, and I absolutely refuse to accept it!

Dear folks, we are all from the same town. Let’s all come and see. The parents and officials in our town are so unclear and unjust. Even the normal process of confronting the salt dealer is not willing to go. !

Could it be that our parents and officials have already colluded with that salt dealer? "

"Bold! Presumptuous!"

The yamen servant was about to hit him with a stick, Jiang Zhinuan stared back: "I am innocent, whoever dares to hit me today, I will definitely remember it, and I will settle the case with you when I come back with a court order!"

Xu Shi was overwhelmed by Jiang Zhinuan's aura, the folks in this town, whoever entered the county government did not behave with their tails between their legs.

Someone as righteous and aggressive as Jiang Zhinuan is indeed No.1.

Zhao Hongxia hurriedly incited the villagers: "That's right! Why didn't you arrest the salt dealer to confront him? Everyone said that if you didn't buy illegal salt, you can't wrong a good person!"

"Catch the salt dealer and confront the good guy!"

"Yes! Catch the salt dealer!"

"..."

After Zhao Hongxia yelled out her first voice, the villagers began to raise their fists in protest.

In the past, Jiang Zhinuan was unpopular, and everyone avoided her when they saw her.

But it's different now, Jiang Zhinuan has long since quit gambling, and even opened a cooked food shop. Almost all the folks in this village have gone to her shop to buy roast duck and marinated goods.

In addition, Jiang Zhinuan knows how to do business and is a generous person. Every time he buys braised goods, Jiang Zhinuan will add some more or less, so that everyone can eat well before coming back.

Everyone's impression of Jiang Zhinuan has long since changed.

Now that the villagers are speaking out for her like this, the county magistrate is afraid of arousing public anger, so he can only compromise.

"That's all, be quiet! If that's the case, then put Jiang Zhinuan in prison first, and wait for the salt dealer to be caught and then start another interrogation!"

Jiang Zhinuan breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he escapes today's conviction, he will have time to think of other solutions.

She knew that Zhao Hongxia would definitely find a way to come to see her in the prison, and she didn't know how long she would be imprisoned now, if she wanted to get rid of the suspicion, she had to rely on Zhao Hongxia and his wife to help her run away.

When being taken back to the prison by the yamen servant, Zhao Hongxia passed by, and she took out the money bag from her bosom and handed it over: "Help me take this back first."

Anyway, there is no need in this big prison, Lu Weidang and his family have to spend money to eat and drink.

Zhao Hongxia nodded after receiving it, "Don't worry, I'll see you in a while."

……

After the spectators dispersed, Catcher Wang stopped Zhao Hongxia: "It looks like Jiang Zhinuan will be in prison for a while, food and clothing are expensive, so prepare some for her. "

"Thank you, Catcher Wang. I'll go back and prepare right now. Zhinuan really hasn't bought illegal salt, and she's also stubborn. I have to trouble you to take care of her in the prison."

After finishing speaking, Zhao Hongxia took out another piece of broken silver from her bosom and handed it over: "Your benefit will be indispensable in the future, please accept it."

Catcher Wang was also polite, and nodded to them after taking the money: "Okay, get ready to go."

Zhao Hongxia took Zhang Quan home, and didn't care about what to do about it. The point is that they didn't know how to help Jiang Zhinuan or save her.

Right now, what they can do is to prepare some food and clothing for her as Catcher Wang said, so that she doesn't have to work too hard in the prison.

"My husband, go to our house and get a mattress and a thicker quilt. Although the weather is hot, it's dark and cold in the prison. The quilt should be thicker, so don't freeze people out of trouble." , In addition, find some looser clothes that I had before, and bring them to her, I will prepare some dry food, and we will deliver it later."

"Aunt Zhao, where's my aunt?"

"Amiao, don't worry, I won't be able to come back for a while, but there is no danger for a while. It seems that after the shop closed last night, someone secretly put private salt in it. As for who put it in, what should I do? Cha, I have to discuss it with your aunt, you wait here."

Ding Simiao was in a hurry: "Aunt Zhao, can I go with you?"

Zhao Hongxia thought for a while and nodded: "Then let's go together, I don't know how to explain to the reed marsh, you can go, Zhinuan should tell you something."

The things were quickly packed, and Zhang Quan took Jiang Zhinuan's carriage and sent them there, but Wang Butou said that only two people could go in at most, so Zhang Quan had to wait outside.

Zhao Hongxia and Ding Simiao moved all the prepared things into the prison.

Seeing Jiang Zhinuan, Ding Simiao handed over the quilt in his hand, crying as soon as his nose was sore.

"Amiao, don't cry, it's okay, my aunt hasn't gone through any big storms, this is just a small scene."

Yes, Jiang Zhinuan has experienced such a rare thing as time travel, and there is nothing else that cannot be experienced.

This time it was obvious that someone was framed, Jiang Zhinuan patted Ding Simiao on the shoulder across the cell, told him to wait aside, called Zhao Hongxia, and the two got together and muttered together.

"Sister Hongxia, I don't think it's easy this time. In other words, it's not easy for the person who framed me this time."

"did you mean?"

"Master of the county!"

Zhao Hongxia was startled: "You mean, it was the magistrate who framed you?"

Jiang Zhinuan nodded: "It's very possible! I don't have many enemies in Pingxi Town, so I have to count carefully. The fishmonger who sold fish before counts as one, Alian counts as one, and the other is the nephew of the county magistrate. !"
