The eldest daughter of the emperor, she began to build a city wildly

Chapter 29 A Unique Trial
Su Tang smiled and said nothing, waiting quietly and not in a hurry, seeing her like this, Liu Zhonglin and Yingyue must have already made up their minds and stopped talking.

"I think it was stolen by a surprise group. How could we ordinary people steal our own sweet potato seeds?" Wu Da stood in the crowd and shouted.

"It shouldn't be stolen by people in our village, it's about our own rations."

"Jingtuan is so small, it's enough to steal two to eat, how could it steal so many?"

"."

The villagers talked a lot, and didn't know what to do for a while. The sweet potatoes were buried in the ground, and no one thought that someone would dig them up and steal them, so there was no clue.

"I'll only give you a cup of tea to think about it. When I get you out, the consequences will be more serious." After saying this, Su Tang stopped talking and just waited for the time to pass slowly.

The villagers were a little panicked. Listening to Su Tang's voice, it was obvious that the person who stole the sweet potatoes was among them, and the village owner seemed to know who it was.

The man next to Wu Da gently tugged at him, his face full of solemnity.

"Don't be afraid, it's impossible for someone to know who stole it." Wu Da observed Su Tang's expression, but couldn't see any clues, which made him flustered.

The time for a cup of tea was very fast, and no one came out to admit it, which was within Su Tang's expectation.

Su Tang pointed Liu Zhonglin to a few people in the crowd, and asked him to lead someone to arrest them.

"It's not good to arrest people without evidence." Liu Zhonglin asked in a low voice.

"There will be evidence after arrest." Su Tang said lightly.

What kind of trial method is this?
However, Wu Da and his group were quickly held down and brought to Su Tang, there were eleven of them.

"Why do you arrest people? Why do you say we stole it? You are slandering." Wu Da shouted while struggling.

The villagers pointed and felt that this was really bad. They didn't say anything, and there was no evidence at all. What if they wronged a good person like this, and the next one would wrong themselves like this.

Thinking of this, the villagers were even more flustered, and they all spoke for Wu Da and the others.

"Villager, it's really not good for you to arrest people without evidence like this."

"Now there is no clue, and there is no witness. It would be bad to wrong someone."

Su Tang pressed his hand to keep them quiet, "Whether you wronged them or not, you will know in a while."

From the plan to the start of this group of people, Su Tang saw clearly in the surveillance. The reason why he didn't stop it was because he was waiting for today. It would be a disaster to keep this kind of people who are full of crooked brains. It's better to get rid of them as soon as possible. It can also remove a major hidden danger in the future.

"What were you doing last night?" Su Tang's voice was soft, but it terrified the listeners.

"We went back to eat after work, and went to bed early." Zheng Mu said.

"That's right, we were wronged, and we didn't go anywhere." Wu Dageng shouted.

Su Tang was agitated by their quarrel, "Since I won't tell you, let me tell you for you, you did finish your farm work last night, went home to eat and then went to bed."

"However, in the middle of the night when everyone was asleep, you secretly got up again, dug out the sweet potatoes in the field, transported them to the bamboo rafts you had prepared in advance, and went eastward along the Yanyun River, and hid them in a cave at the foot of the mountain in the east. In the cave, right?"

After hearing Su Tang's words, all the people gradually opened their mouths, and even Wu Da and his group began to tremble involuntarily.

The main reason is that Su Tang's description was too detailed, as if she followed behind and saw it with her own eyes, but how could this be possible, she is the owner of the village, so could she still steal the sweet potatoes from her own village?

"You, you are talking nonsense." Wu Da forcibly calmed down and denied it flatly. They acted very carefully. He firmly believed that no outsiders knew about it last night.

"That's right, you just want to wrong us. If we stole it, why did you come back today? Could it be that you deliberately threw yourself into a trap?"

The others were stunned, and felt that what both sides said seemed to make sense, and even Liu Zhonglin hadn't realized what was going on. Could it be that someone among them tipped off the village owner?
"Because the sweet potatoes you stole last night were not enough, and you feel that you will be careful and no one will find out, so you will steal some more tonight and run away together." Su Tang replied.

Wu Da and the others looked at Su Tang's calmness as if he knew the truth, plus everything she said was true, just like what she saw with her own eyes, and they finally became afraid. I can't run away.

"Evidence, without evidence, you are wronging us, even officials dare not judge the case like this." Zheng Mu shouted.

"Do you want witnesses or physical evidence? Thanks to the crooked idea of ​​putting the blame on Jingtuan." Su Tang sneered.

"People, witnesses." They didn't dare to say physical evidence. Su Tang had already guessed that the sweet potato was hidden in the cave to the east, and it was easy to find it if he searched.

Su Tang glanced at the crowd, pointed to a thin boy in his teens, called him over, and said softly, "What did you see when you woke up last night?

The little boy was a little cowardly, seeing Wu Da and the others looking fierce, he dared not speak.

Su Tang turned him around so that he wouldn't be scared, "Just tell what you see. With me here, they dare not do anything to you."

"I only saw, I saw a group of people heading towards the field, but I couldn't see anything else clearly." The little boy's voice was very low, but the villagers who stretched their ears could still hear him clearly.

Liu Zhonglin was completely speechless. If the village owner knew that someone had tipped off the process of stealing the sweet potato seeds, how would he explain the fact that he knew who got up in the middle of the night and happened to see it?

Yingyue's eyes lit up while listening, and she silently stood beside Su Tang.

The gods, it must be the gods who are helping in the dark, get closer to the master, maybe the gods can see themselves.

"It doesn't matter what he said as a child, and besides, he didn't see people clearly, and it wasn't us at all." Wu Da's sunken eyes were a little red at this moment, looking as scary as a poisonous snake.

At this time, Wu Chong came back with baskets of sweet potatoes, "Village Master, I found the lost sweet potato seeds in the place you mentioned, and I brought back a few bamboo rafts."

"There are witnesses and material evidence, what else do you have to say, do you need me to tell the whole process of your crime?" Su Tang glanced at Wu Da and the others who were ashen-faced.

"Oh my god, what the village master said is actually true, as if she saw it in person."

"I'm afraid the owner of the village knows some magic tricks, otherwise, how could she know such a secret thing as a witness." The villagers discussed this miraculous thing intensely.

"How to deal with it?" Wu Chong looked at them coldly. It turned out that such a person was the one he worked so hard to rescue back then.
