Tao Qiqi: "It doesn't matter. I used to dress up as a man in order to escape famine. Now that the escape is over, I should have changed back to my daughter's identity long ago, but I couldn't find a suitable opportunity. Today's incident has actually helped
You did me a big favor."
Fang Yu nodded after hearing this, "Indeed, this will kill three birds with one stone. You can return to your identity as a daughter, you can easily prove your innocence, and you can also know who did it."
Tao Qiqi: "I already have a rough idea in my mind as to who made the move. After all the calculations, it should be those two people. If it's really those two people, then I can pretty much guess what tricks they want to play.
Come out. I don’t resist today. I followed them here purely to confess my identity. Of course, it doesn’t hurt to play with them by the way.”
After Tao Qiqi finished speaking, the officer heard her and Fang Yu whispering and shouted with a dark face: "No whispering."
Seeing that the yamen officer was really angry, Tao Qiqi quickly signaled Fang Yu to stay away from her.
Fortunately, the serving officer saw that they separated immediately, so he did not attack them again.
In fact, Tao Qiqi had a clue about this matter when he met the girl in the morning.
The dislocation of her foot was obviously man-made. She probably fell on purpose to make it look real, but unexpectedly pulled the ligament, causing the ligament to be strained.
But the girl herself said she just fell, which was obviously a lie.
Combined with her request, she always wanted Tao Qiqi to send her back to the village, so this incident is enough to indicate that there is a big problem.
Either there was an ambush in the village, or he wanted to accuse her of something.
But it was impossible to send her back to the village.
As long as she doesn't appear, the threatened villagers will not be harmed.
Just to understand the other party's purpose, Tao Qiqi deliberately left her hair tie while treating her foot injury, so as to prove her guess.
Unexpectedly, she guessed it right, and now he is waiting for her here.
Soon Tao Qiqi and his party were taken to the government court.
In the courtroom, the girl Tao Qiqi had rescued in the morning was kneeling and hugging a woman, crying together.
In addition, there were several women nearby.
Looking at this scene, Tao Qiqi could completely imagine what was about to happen.
Since the parties involved and those involved in the case were all present, Mr. Gan from the government office soon appeared in the courtroom.
As soon as Master Gan sat down, the government officials on both sides started shouting "Mighty!!".
When it was almost over, Mr. Gan picked up the gavel and slapped it, and then the servant's voice stopped.
At this time Lord Gan slowly spoke: "What case did the people in the hall report?"
Lord Gan finished his words, and the woman next to the girl who was rescued by Tao Qiqi immediately cried and said: "Sir, you must make the decision for us, sir."
At this time, the master on the side saw that the other party only cried and did not know what to explain, so he reminded: "My lord asked you what happened. If you don't tell me, how can your lord make the decision for you?"
After this reminder, the woman reacted, then wiped her face with both hands, wiped away her tears, pointed at Tao Qiqi and said viciously: "He, that's him, my daughter went to the mountain to dig wild vegetables this morning, but he was frivolous.
I will commit suicide after returning home. If I hadn't discovered it in time, my stupid daughter would be a cold corpse by now."
After hearing this, Mr. Gan asked again: "Then do you have any evidence?"
The woman nodded: "Yes, there are witnesses. They are all fellow villagers who went up the mountain with my daughter this morning. They all saw it with their own eyes."
As soon as the last sentence came out, Fang Yu couldn't hold it back and complained: "I can't save him even if I see it with my own eyes."
After being complained by Fang Yu, the woman didn't know how to reply to him, so she had to pretend to be weak and cry.
"Oh, my daughter, why are you so miserable? You are so old that you can see each other in the next year, but you are scorned by others. How will you live in the future?"
The girl echoed: "Mom, you shouldn't have saved your daughter just now and let her die."
The woman hugged her daughter: "My silly daughter,..."
Lord Gan in the courtroom saw the endless quarrel in the audience, picked up the gavel, clapped it and shouted: "Quiet!"
This interrupted the mother-daughter drama.
"You guys, please tell me what's going on." Mr. Gan seemed to be a little impatient.
Having been an official for many years and solving cases for many years, Mr. Gan has already clearly seen the tricks played by these women.
It's nothing more than seeing that the family's conditions are not bad and their daughter is about to get married, so she uses this trick and then forces the family to marry her home.
When the women saw that Mr. Gan had asked them to speak, they began to talk hesitantly.
"It rained last night. This morning we made an appointment to go back to the mountains to dig some wild vegetables. When Xiaoyue saw it, she also said she wanted to go with us."
"But when we reached the foot of the mountain, Xiaoyue disappeared."
"We were digging wild vegetables and shouting while looking for her."
"But when we found her, she happened to be scorned by a man, and the man had just left."
"We originally wanted to catch up with the man and argue with him, but Xiaoyue refused to let him go. He said that this was an embarrassing thing and everyone knew that he didn't want to cause trouble."
"Then can you see clearly who did it?" Lord Gan asked.
The women nodded sharply and replied in unison: "You can see clearly, it's him."
"He's still wearing the same clothes he was wearing in the morning."
"And that man with the basket on his back and his back, yes, that's him. We all recognize the man who wanted to run away after taking advantage of him. He turned into ashes."
The girl's mother listened to everyone explain the incident and immediately started crying and screaming again.
Listening to the crying voice, Mr. Gan couldn't help but frown, picked up the gavel and patted it, then looked at Tao Qiqi and asked: "The witnesses and physical evidence are all there, can you plead guilty?"
Tao Qiqi shook her head and answered decisively: "I don't recognize it."
"It's not wrong that this physical evidence is mine, but it was used by me to fix her foot injury in the morning. I am a doctor. I went to the mountain today to collect some herbs. But as soon as I arrived at the foot of the mountain, I met this girl who fell.
So I gave her a simple treatment."
After listening to Tao Qiqi's words, Mr. Gan was not unhappy because she did not plead guilty. Instead, he turned to look at Xiaoyue and asked: "Is what he said the truth?"
Xiaoyue sobbed and replied: "He... what he said... is the truth, but... he is frivolous about me... and it is true that he is frivolous about me. When he was treating my foot injury, he
...started to...touch me...but...but because I was injured, I couldn't resist at all. Wait for him...after he takes care of my injury, then...
..just...just..."
When talking about the latter part, Xiaoyue couldn't help crying.
As for the rest, everyone can understand it without saying it.
