Chapter 113
"Mr. Tan Zhang, do you have any other evidence? This is not evidence." The old magistrate Lu Zhengqing looked at Zhang Qiaoyun and said meticulously.

"What! My lord, how can this not be regarded as evidence?" Zhang Qiaoyun said with a look of shock.

"This is not evidence. You should come up with some strong evidence, such as personal or physical evidence. Did anyone see this girl beating you?" Lu Zhengqing asked.

"How is it? Luliu, tell mother, has anyone seen it?" Zhang Qiaoyun hurriedly asked her daughter Tan Luliu who was beside her.

"Mother..." Tan Luliu hesitated and didn't know what to say, she didn't expect the interrogation to be so troublesome, and she had to ask so many questions, she said it was Tan Wenning who beat her, wouldn't it be good for these people to just believe her? , why ask so many.

"Liu Sanniang, the proprietress of the fabric store on East Street, knows, my lord can send someone to ask."

Everyone looked over quickly, but it was Tan Wenning who was talking, is she so kind?Zhang Qiaoyun couldn't help being suspicious.

"Come here, send Liu Sanniang for questioning!" Lu Zhengqing said seriously.

"Yes, my lord." The officer took the order and went down immediately.

So they all began to wait in the courtroom, "Tan Wenning, are you uneasy?" Zhang Qiaoyun looked at Tan Wenning, and opened his mouth to come.

"Grandma, I'm telling the truth. If you don't believe me, Liu Sanniang will come later. You can ask her." Tan Wenning said calmly, without any anxiety.

"Don't play tricks." Zhang Qiaoyun looked at Tan Wenning like a warning, and Tan Wenning looked at her calmly, and did not speak again.

"Quiet, no noise in the courtroom." Lu Zhengqing said, and patted the gavel again, Zhang Qiaoyun suddenly dared not speak.

After a while, the official came in with a woman who looked about thirty, who was Liu Sanniang.

"Is the third wife of the Liu family under the hall?" Lu Zhengqing asked.

"Your Excellency, it is the daughter of the people." Liu Sanniang said softly.

"Do you know why I called you here?" Lu Zhengqing asked.

"My lord, Minnv has already heard from the elder brother of the official messenger that what happened that day is like this..." Liu Sanniang narrated everything that happened in her shop that day.

After a long time, Zhang Qiaoyun looked at Liu Sanniang and Tan Wenning and shouted: "My lord, that's not the case. She's lying. They're both in the same group. Don't believe them!" Zhang Qiaoyun shouted excitedly.

Hearing Zhang Qiaoyun's yelling, Lu Zhengqing frowned slightly. This is not the first time this woman has made a loud noise in the courtroom, and he has his own decision on whether the matter is true or not. She pointed.

"Presumptuous, this is a court, how can you make a loud noise! ​​This is the last time I warned you, if there is another time, I will hit you twenty times!" Lu Zhengqing said seriously.

"Yes, my lord, women don't dare anymore." Zhang Qiaoyun was so frightened that she didn't dare to make any more noise, she lowered her head cautiously.

"My lord, what the girl said is true. If you don't believe me, you can ask Boss Li from the shop next door. He was also in my shop at the time." Liu Sanniang said softly.

She saw Tan Wenning from the moment she came in. Tan Wenning bought a lot of things in her shop before, but Tan Luliu didn't buy it, it was fine, it ruined her business, pointed at her cloth, and complained for a while Here, she complained about that for a while, and she was just telling the truth, but she didn't cover anyone up.

"Since that's the case, come and tell Boss Li!" Lu Zhengqing said righteously.

Then the officer received the order and went down again, but Tan Luliu's face became paler and paler, she now knew that if she lost, it would definitely not be as simple as being scolded, maybe she would be punished .

After a while, Boss Li was brought in, and his words were naturally the same as Liu Sanniang's. Tan Luliu's face turned pale instantly, she gently pulled Zhang Qiaoyun's sleeve, and called out pitifully: "Mother, you have to find a way to save your daughter. If your daughter dies, your dream of wealth will be gone."

"My lord, this is what you see. Although it wasn't Tan Wenning who hit my daughter, she was also at fault. If she didn't dodge, Lu Liu wouldn't have hit her head. We haven't even settled with her for the medical expenses." Do you think it’s okay this time?” Zhang Qiaoyun also knew that the injury on Tan Luliu’s body was caused by her bumping into a pillar, but in order to let the county magistrate not pursue it, she used the medical expenses to justify the matter.

"Bold woman, this is a court, not a place for you to bargain. This injury was obviously caused by your daughter, and it was blamed on someone else. It's like a thief, and your daughter is going to beat someone. If he doesn't hide, he just stands there. Get beaten? No one would be so stupid!" Lu Zhengqing was almost driven mad by Zhang Qiaoyun's words, he had never seen such an unreasonable woman.

"My lord, as the daughter of the people knows, Miss Tanluliu didn't pay the medical expenses, but she scolded her doctor." Liu Sanniang became a little angry when she thought of this, after all, she was the one who asked people to carry Tanluliu over. , As a result, she didn't pay for the medicine, and even scolded the doctor, and even made her suffer.

The doctors of Tongjitang have not looked good when they saw her these days, it was all caused by Tan Luliu, this evil spirit, why did he just go to her shop one day!

"What! Didn't pay the medical expenses? Isn't this the same as eating a king's meal? Mrs. Tan Zhang, ask your daughter to make up all the medical expenses owed to Tongjitang. In addition, the truth has been revealed this time, and it was you who falsely accused Tan Wen Ning's, it's like calling out to catch a thief. Although you are an elder, you can't do this! This time I warn you once, if there is another time, it will not be so simple. Also, what Tan Luliu did was simply The people in our county were ashamed, and thinking she was still injured, they beat her ten times as a warning to everyone else!" Lu Zhengqing patted the gavel and said seriously.

Zhang Qiaoyun wanted to say something at first, but when Lu Zhengqing looked over, she silently lowered her head. She was afraid that if she spoke again, the board would hit her.

"Mother, I don't want to be punished, please help me to intercede with the adults! Tan Wenning, I was wrong, please tell the adults to stop hitting me." Tan Luliu looked at Tan Wenning crying .

"Little aunt, this is an adult's decision, and I cannot interfere!" Tan Wenning said softly.

"You..." Tan Luliu wanted to say something more, but she had already been dragged out.

"She's right, she can't interfere with my decision." Lu Zhengqing blocked Zhang Qiaoyun's remaining words with one sentence.

"Okay, that's all for today. After the execution is over, you follow Tan Luliu to supervise her to pay the money from the pharmacy." Lu Zhengqing said to an official.
