Chapter 12(2/2)
Ergou was completely panicked, "It's not me, it's not my idea. It's all me instructed by Xu Jiaojiao. Moreover, I didn't dare to poison them. These are all croton flour. After eating them the most, I'll have diarrhea. Don't kill anyone. I'll do it.
All you should say has been said, can you let me go now?"
Sheng Qingyuan said coldly: "It depends on how the official judges in the end."
"You lied to me!!"
"I have never promised to let you go, but when you arrive in court tomorrow, do you have to bear all your crimes yourself or give them the envoy behind the scenes? The punishments for these two are very different."
Sheng Qingyuan analyzed to Ergou in a cold voice.
After saying that, Sheng Qingyuan said to Li Gen: "I have to work hard tonight, Uncle Genzi helps to see more."
Li Gen grinned and said, "This is a trivial matter, I will cover it with me. Girl, go and rest quickly."
"good."
The next day when the people from Tianxianglou came to collect sour bamboo shoots, Sheng Qingyuan followed them to Tianxianglou and told the truth about Ergou's crotobac powder.
After hearing this, the shopkeeper was furious.
If a customer has a stomachache in his restaurant, he doesn't have to do this business.
The shopkeeper immediately went to the yamen with Sheng Qingyuan to meet the county magistrate.
The shopkeeper and the county magistrate had a good relationship. When he heard about this, he immediately asked someone to bring Ergou and Xu Jiaojiao.
When Xu Jiaojiao was taken to the yamen by the yamen runners, she was stupid and shouted: "I am Xu Lizheng's granddaughter! You can't arrest me, you can't arrest me!"
The county magistrate listened to her words and slapped the arbor hard. Xu Jiaojiao was so scared that her knees immediately became soft and she knelt down with a "thump".
"Xu Jiaojiao, someone sued you and instructed Zhang Ergou to drug the sour bamboo shoots sent to Tianxianglou. Do you know?" The county magistrate asked coldly.
Xu Jiaojiao immediately retorted: "I don't know, this matter has nothing to do with me!"
Xu Jiaojiao pointed at Ergou and asked angrily: "Why do you want to slander me?!"
Ergou widened his eyes, "I slander you? You obviously asked me to medicine the sour bamboo shoots! I was just thinking about smashing the jars containing sour bamboo shoots. You gave me croton flour and asked me to sprinkle them.
In the sour bamboo shoots!”
Ergou defended himself to the county magistrate: "Sir, my family is so poor that I can't even eat. If I have the money to buy croton flour, it's better to buy a meat bag for myself and fill my stomach!"
"As far as I know, his family really has no money." Sheng Qingyuan said lightly.
Ergou nodded quickly and took out two copper plates from his pocket: "I will promise Xu Jiaojiao, but Xu Jiaojiao agreed to me, saying that after the matter is done, she will give me 100 pennies, and she will give me 5 pennies first.
