Chapter 48
The master is worthy of being a master, and in a few sentences, he successfully characterized Hu San as a treacherous person who does not tell the truth!

The county magistrate was naturally very displeased, he slapped the gavel, and started to scare Hu San again.

"I will give you another chance. If you don't tell the truth, you will be punished!"

Hu San was taken aback, why didn't this follow the routine!

Was it the one who didn't arrange it well, or was the person he offended too ruthless?
The master winked, and there were servants on the left and right sides who pinned the man to the ground, and raised the Javert stick to beat him.

Hu San is not an ignorant person, it is not so easy for him to stop when he takes advantage of the board.

And it was obvious that these people just didn't like him, and if they really hit him in a while, they would be seriously injured.

"My lord, please spare me! The villain said, the villain said everything. It was a maid named Mei Lan who found the villain, gave the villain ten taels of silver, and ordered the villain to go to Xiejiazhuang to corrupt a woman named Liu Ruolan. Fame, he also said that if the matter is successful, he will give the villain ten taels of silver as a reward, the villain dare not lie, please learn from the master!"

The master squinted his eyes, it seems that Mr. Liu didn't lie to him, someone really set his eyes on Xie Xiucai's seat in the main room, and wanted to drive his real wife out of court.

Hu San called Mei Lan out, and Xie Xiuran, who followed all the way, was so frightened that his legs went limp.

Fortunately, he was standing outside the hall and raised his hand to support the wall, otherwise he would have fallen to the ground directly.

Hu San recruited Mei Lan out, and wondered if Mei Lan would drag Miss Song out in the lobby later.

Xie Xiuran's mind turned quickly, but there was nothing he could do.

Not long after, Mei Lan was taken to court by the yamen servants. Not only that, but also the housekeeper of the Song family followed behind her.

"Who is kneeling in the hall?"

Mei Lan's eyes were a little dull, and no emotion could be heard in her voice: "My lord, Mei Lan, a villain, is the maid of the Song family."

"Hu San said that you bought him and wanted to slander Mrs. Liu's reputation, didn't you?"

Mei Lan hesitated for a moment, and when she raised her head again, her eyes were much firmer.

"Back to Elder Master, the villain did have contacts with Hu San."

"Why do you slander Lady Liu?"

Mei Lan took a deep breath, knowing that she had come to this point, and the young lady's orders had to be followed, otherwise her family members would die.

"Returning to my lord, the villain had some old grievances with Mrs. Liu, and he was unwilling to reconcile, so he managed to get someone to harm her. The villain pleaded guilty to this matter, but Mrs. Liu may not be a good person."

The magistrate squinted, this girl is dishonest!

"Hmph, what the officer asks and what you answer, don't be presumptuous!"

"Yes, the villain dare not lie to the adults. Although the matter between Mrs. Liu and Hu San is false, she is narrow-minded and jealous. She disrespects her mother-in-law and treats young girls harshly. Compatible with Mr. Xie Xiu?"

Inside and outside the words, it sounds like he is complaining for Xie Xiucai, but every word is full of nonsense.

"You are talking nonsense!"

Xie Lao San couldn't hold back, and said angrily: "Where did you come from, a lowly maid, you dare to slander my second sister-in-law like this. Who in Xiejiazhuang doesn't know that she has the most gentle personality and has always been respectful to my mother, It even hurt my beloved daughter to the bone. How did it get into your mouth, but it turned into another person!"

The magistrate frowned: "No noise!"

Third Xie closed his mouth, but still couldn't hold back and glared at Mei Lan again.

Liu Shen didn't panic, after he found out about this last night, he discussed it with his eldest son and daughter-in-law overnight, and he already had a countermeasure in mind.

"My lord, can the student ask me a few words?"

The county magistrate nodded: "Yun!"

Only then did Liu Shen turn around and look at Mei Lan, looking him up and down, it was obvious that she was the servant girl of a rich family.

"May I ask which Song family Miss Mei Lan works in?"

The housekeeper outside screamed that something was wrong, but he didn't dare to go directly into the courtroom to shout.

"I'm the maidservant of the Song family in the east of the city."

"Is your master Master Song, or Mrs. Song?"

"I'm the maid next to our young lady, why are you asking these questions?"

Liu Shen smiled: "You just said that my daughter's conduct is terrible, so let me ask you, where did you know it? Is there any evidence or physical evidence? If not, you will have another charge of slander .”

Mei Lan's heart skipped a beat. Even if she took on this matter, it wouldn't be a capital offense, but if there was another charge, then the responsibility on her body would be even heavier, and she would have to be punished.

"You, I, I saw it with my own eyes!"

Liu Shen was not disappointed when he heard it, but beckoned to the young man beside him. At this time, he was still dressed as a woman, obviously the Liu family had already made preparations.

Even though they are the sufferers, if Liu Ruolan goes to court, it will still be easy to be criticized.

"Did you hear what she just said? Do you recognize it?"

The young man shook his head, bowed his head and remained silent, as if he was overly sad.

Although Mei Lan went to Xie's house a few times, it happened that Liu Ruolan had returned to her mother's house. Naturally, she didn't know what Liu Ruolan looked like, but she had heard people say that she was beautiful. At this moment, she looked up and saw that the woman was tall and slender, with watery eyes. I thought it was her.

"Hmph, so what if you don't recognize it? Mrs. Liu, you were yelling at your mother-in-law outside. I heard it with my own ears. Don't try to play tricks!"

The young man shook his shoulders, turned around halfway, and said nothing.

Liu Shen asked again: "Meilan, are you sure you saw him disrespecting his mother-in-law with your own eyes, and heard him insulting her mother-in-law with your own ears?"

While Liu Shen was questioning, he pointed to the young boy to confirm with her.

Mei Lan gritted her teeth: "Of course! And I've met her more than once, so I can't be wrong. It's her, and I will never admit my mistake."

Liu Shen nodded, raised his hand towards the seated seat and said, "My lord, Mei Lan's confession is not credible. Students can point out three points, and I ask you to make a clear judgment."

"speak!"

"Yes, first of all, Mei Lan claims to be the servant girl of the Song family in the east of the city, and she is the personal maid beside Miss Song. Since she is a servant girl, why did she go to Xiejiazhuang for no reason, and more than once?"

Mei Lan's eyeballs also started to spin around, why didn't I think of this just now?
"Secondly, most of the people living in the Xie family village are members of the Xie family. Just now, the nephew of the Xie family also said that the Xie family members have a high opinion of the little girl. If the little girl really insults her mother-in-law, it must be in the inner room. How did this foreign Mei Lan know about it? But if it was outside, could it be that only Mei Lan in Xiejiazhuang has eyes and ears, and everyone else is blind and deaf?"

The magistrate nodded, this is true.

What Mei Lan said was indeed more like nonsense, it was just to talk about Liu Ruolan.

"The third and most important point is that she keeps saying that she saw it with her own eyes, and she will never mistake anyone."

When Liu Shen said this, he dragged the young man over, and then faced the county magistrate: "But this one is clearly not a little girl. Then she just ruined my little girl's reputation with every word, which shows the viciousness of her mind!"
