In the shop, after the official had a rough understanding of the situation, he said to Ning Wei: "Miss Ning, there is a lot of chaos here, and this matter is not trivial.
Please Miss Ning, please accompany me to the Yamen. Let’s go to the Yamen for mediation. What do you think, Miss Ning?”
Ning Wei nodded in agreement: "Okay, it concerns the innocence of the shop, so I must cooperate. Please, sir!"
The official turned to Mrs. Wang and said, "Let's go. If you have any grievances, go to the Yamen to complain."
Mrs. Wang felt guilty and looked at the man in blue with panic, "This..."
The man in blue didn't wait for her to finish, and said first, "You have an official to make the decision for you, why don't you thank me quickly."
Mrs. Wang trembled and bowed to the officer, "Thank you, sir!"
The official did not doubt that he was there, but thought that the man in blue was enthusiastic and righteous, and that Mrs. Wang relied on him, so he said: "She trusts you. If nothing happens, you can go with her."
The man in blue bowed and said, "Yes!"
Mrs. Wang felt much relieved when she saw that the man in blue would follow her.
When she came, Lu Da told her to follow the arrangements of the man in blue.
Ning Wei and Ruoqing, accompanied by Ruoyu, went to the Yamen on official mission.
Wei Yuan was walking among the crowd watching the excitement, but his attention was on the man in blue and the few people who had stirred up trouble in the shop.
Qiao Shi came over and whispered: "The man in blue has a surname of Zhang, and he lives at No. Bingchen, Chopstick Lane, south of the city.
This man was idle, fond of gambling and womanizing. Before he got married, he lived with his old mother Min. Min made a living by doing laundry.
Mrs. Wang lives in Heqing Lane, Jinshui Road. Her son died four years ago.
Two years ago, my daughter-in-law ran away with a salesman from out of town, leaving behind a five-year-old child, Suo'er. Mrs. Wang and Suo'er depended on each other.
As for who ordered these two people, we are still investigating."
Wei Yuan raised his head and glanced at the government office not far away, and said: "From all the signs, the other party is here for the young lady.
Let these two people go first, starting with the young lady’s cousin, Miss Zhao Er, and find out who Miss Zhao Er has contacts with?”
Qiao Shi nodded in agreement, "Okay, I'll go check it out now."
"Wait!" Wei Yuan shouted.
Qiao Shi stopped and asked, "What are your orders, sir?"
Wei Yuan said: "Since the other party came prepared, I'm afraid the Yamen side has already taken care of it.
Qiao Yi is familiar with Gao Tuiguan, and asked him to ask Gao Tuiguan to come to the Yamen here, and be quick!"
Qiao Shi said, "Okay, little one, let's go right away."
On the other side, Zhang Qi whispered to Mrs. Wang, who nodded while listening.
After entering the Yamen, Mrs. Wang insisted that her grandson had eaten pastries from Wansheng pastry shop and then suffered from vomiting and diarrhea.
After listening to Mrs. Wang's words, the presiding judge in the court grabbed the gavel wood on the desk and slapped it heavily on the table. He said to Ning Wei with a straight face: "Ning Wei did things without conscience in order to pursue profits. Do you know that you are wrong?"
Wei Yuan couldn't help but narrowed his eyes when he saw that the presiding judge did not give Ning Wei a chance to distinguish and directly convicted Ning Wei.
Wei Yuan thought that the other party might make things difficult for Ning Wei, but he did not expect that the other party would be so simple and rude.
Ning Wei straightened her back and looked at the presiding judge, and was about to reply when a sneer came from behind her.
"Today is really an eye-opener. The dignified Shaoyin of Jingzhao Mansion can only rely on one side of the story to decide the case.
Liu Shaoyin, are you biased in your judgment of this case?"
After Mo Shaoyan, the young Yin of Jingzhao Prefecture, was demoted, Liu Xianzhou took over Mo Shaoyan's position and took office for half a month.
Wei Yuan felt happy, turned around and saw Fourth Master Jiang and Second Master Lu standing in the crowd. There was a thin layer of sweat on their foreheads. It looked like they had just arrived.
Liu Shaoyin was questioned on the spot. He couldn't keep his face calm. He raised the gavel and slammed it on the desk.
He said sternly: "Who is here? How dare you interfere with my judgment. Anyone who comes here will be kicked out by me."
"Liu Shaoyin is so angry that he is so angry? The case is unfair and no one is allowed to question it?" Lu Pengfei took over.
Liu Shaoyin pointed the gavel at Jiang Xingchang and Lu Pengfei, "Who are you two? Do you know that disturbing the court is punishable?"
Jiang Xingchang bowed his hands and said, "Sir, I'm going down to Jiang Xingchang."
Liu Shaoyin didn't know who Jiang Xingchang was, so he turned to look at Mr. Wang next to him.
The king's chief secretary half-bowed his head, blocking the way with his document, and whispered to Liu Shaoyin: "Jiang Xingchang, the fourth master of Jiang Shangshu's house in the Ministry of Punishments, Qiubang Jieyuan."
Liu Shaoyin had heard of Jiang Xingchang's name but had never met him in person, so he never expected to meet him in this way.
Liu Shaoyin's expression changed slightly, but he quickly regained his composure and said, "Oh, it's Jiang Jieyuan, come on, come on, please sit down."
The guard next to him saw the opportunity and put a chair aside.
When Master Wang saw that the officer was only bringing one chair, he quickly gave the officer a wink. The officer understood and quickly brought another chair.
Lu Pengfei took over the words: "You can sit down and sit down. I and Jiang Si happened to pass by this place today. When they saw Liu Shaoyin solving the case, they came in to watch. Liu Shaoyin continued his work."
Liu Shaoyin looked at Mr. Wang.
Master Wang understood and introduced in a low voice: "This person is the second master of the Prince's Grand Master Lu's residence."
Liu Shaoyin secretly said that he had bad luck today.
Jiang Xingchang held a folding fan in his right hand and kept tapping the palm of his hand.
"In this case, Liu Shaoyin determined that the other party was at fault based on the woman's statement, without giving the other party a chance to make a distinction.
I would like to ask, what does Liu Shaoyin rely on? Or is this the way Liu Shaoyin always handles cases?"
How could Liu Shaoyin admit that his judgment of the case was biased?
He argued: "Jiang Jieyuan misunderstood, and his harsh tone is just my official's habit of judging cases, which can also be said to be a means of judging cases.
It’s not that I didn’t give Ning Wei a chance to defend myself. I was asking questions when Jiang Jieyuan interrupted me.”
The implication is that Jiang Xingchang interfered with his decision of the case.
Lu Er was about to retort, but Jiang Xingchang turned his hand and signaled Lu Er not to argue.
Jiang Xingchang bowed towards Liu Shaoyin and said, "I'm sorry, I was so abrupt. Liu Shaoyin, please continue, I'll watch and learn from the side."
Liu Shaoyin glanced at Jiang Xingchang and Lu Pengfei, feeling annoyed at these two plague gods, but there was nothing he could do, so he had to let them stand aside.
Liu Shaoyin looked at Ning Wei and asked, "Ning Wei, what do you have to say?"
Ning Wei glanced at Jiang Xingchang and Lu Pengfei gratefully, then turned to Liu Shaoyin, "I have a few questions for Mrs. Jiang, is that okay?"
Liu Shaoyin nodded and said, "Excuse me!"
Ning Wei got permission, turned to look at Mrs. Jiang, and asked: "You said that the cakes your grandson ate had hair on them. Could you please show me the physical evidence? Where are the hairy cakes?"
Mrs. Jiang was stunned for a moment and said: "What kind of physical evidence? You have eaten everything in your stomach. Where did you ask the old woman to find the physical evidence for you?"
Ning Wei looked at Liu Shaoyin, "Mr. Liu, Mrs. Jiang came to make trouble in the lower berth without any physical evidence. What's the point?
I accuse her of bad intentions and ruining the reputation of the shop.
I request Mr. Liu to judge the case impartially, give me justice, and compensate me for my losses."
