Chapter 133 (1/2)
”Look familiar?” The man called big brother frowned at the man who was being beaten and said, ”who?”
The man who spoke earlier scratched his head and said, ”I feel very familiar. I don't know where I've seen it.”
The eldest brother looked at his brother and said, ”don't read it wrong?”
”Impossible.” The younger brother frowned and said, ”I'll think about it.”
The eldest brother said, ”think about it. This man is so hateful. He drugged boss Yu's shop. It's really a bad work. Remember, we'll help boss Yu.”
”Well, I see.” Then the brother really thought of it.
Over there, the Yamen servant beat 20 boards and dragged the thief back to the court.
Luo Mingda clapped with astonishment and said in a harsh voice, ”report the name, age and native place of the people under the hall. If you don't answer again, the board will serve you! ”
Smelling the speech, the thief trembled and just got hit by 20 big boards. The Yamen servants didn't show mercy. They beat him hard on the spot. His ass was burning and painful, which was even worse than the kicks kicked by Yu Qingze's guys before.
His forehead was covered with sweat. He looked up at the magistrate and saw his serious expression. He frowned and thought, it's different from what he said.
He didn't want to be beaten for nothing. His eyes turned and he said reluctantly, ”Niu Qiang, 26, from Lishu village in the east of the city.”
”Why did you sneak into Jufu building to take medicine in the middle of the night?” Lominda asked.
Niu Qiang shut up again.
Luo Mingda's green veins burst up on his forehead and gave him a shocking slap.
Pop!
”Say!” Lominda snapped.
This time, there was an echo in the lobby. The people in the hall were startled, and the people watching outside were also startled. Some of them were talking quietly. At this time, they stopped talking and looked at the hall.
The Niu Qiang was also frightened, but he shook his head and replied, ”I didn't prescribe medicine.”
Luo Mingda looked at Yu Qingze.
Yu Qingze picked up the medicine bag next to him and said, ”Sir, he lied. He climbed over the wall from the backyard and entered the backyard of my shop. He pried open the window of my shop kitchen. After entering, he went to the water tank, opened the cover, took out this large bag of powder from his arms, and was about to apply the medicine when my buddy DASONG found it. The medicine fell next to the water tank. DASONG can testify. ”
Luo Mingda asked again, ”where is the big pine?”
Da song replied, ”Sir, I'm here.”
Luo Mingda asked, ”report your name, age and native place, and say how things have developed.”
Dashong: ”yes. Report back to your excellency. Yu Song, a 19-year-old grass man, is from Niutou village in the west of the city. He is now a waiter in the kitchen of Jufu building. Last night, boss Yu came to me and Dazhi and Jiabao to talk about things. It was too late, so we stayed in the store. ”
”In the middle of the night, I got up to urinate. Suddenly, I heard a noise from the kitchen window. I went in and looked at it. I found that the window was slowly opening. I think it must be the thief who came in. When I was in a hurry, I hid behind the desk and cabinet, and then saw the man jump in. Then he blew the fire and went directly to the water tank to apply medicine. As soon as I saw it, I was in a hurry. I picked up the rolling pin and rushed out. Later, I shouted. Boss Yu heard it and everyone caught him together. ”
Lominda said, ”present the powder.”
A yamen came forward and took the medicine bag from Yu Qingze and presented it to Luo Mingda.
Luo Mingda opened it and said to the Yamen: ”go and ask a doctor to come over and ask for the most prestigious one in the city.”
”Yes, my Lord.” The Yamen service took orders.
Then, while waiting for the doctor to come, Luo Mingda asked Da Zhi and Jiabao for their confession.
”Niu Qiang, how do you explain?” Lominda asked.
Niu Qiang pouted his hips and said forcefully, ”they slander me. I'm just thirsty. I want to go in and scoop a bowl of water. ”
Yu Qingze snorted coldly and said, ”in the middle of the night, dressed in black and masked, drink water to someone else's house? Are you a fool to be an adult? ”
The Niu Qiang also said, ”Whoever stipulates that black clothes are not allowed. I'm masked because I'm afraid of the cold wind. The well in your backyard is blocked by a big stone. Otherwise, how can I go into the kitchen?”
”My Lord! You heard, he wanted to poison the well! This man, his heart is punishable! ”
”Adult, that bag is prepared by him, and he wants to frame me...”
“……”
Before the doctor arrived, lominda was in the hall watching the two quarrel meaningfully.
The martial master thinks it's beneath the dignity of the court. He suggests whether to shut them up.
Lominda stretched out his hand to stop it and said, ”let's just listen. Maybe someone will show his feet?”
The master paused and said with a smile, ”Your Excellency is clever.”
After a while, the doctor arrived. The Yamen brought Doctor Li.
At this moment, there were more onlookers outside the courthouse. The master of the Cai family got the news and rushed over. And several other leaders who got the news also sent people to inquire about the news.
Pop!
Luo Mingda photographed the startling wood, and the Yamen water and fire sticks on both sides knocked up and shouted ”mighty” in his mouth.
Yu Qingze and Niu Qiang stopped.
”Doctor Li, would you please come and see what's in this paper bag?” Lominda said.
”Yes, my Lord.” Dr. Li went up to lominda's table, looked at the powder carefully, smelled it again, and then said, ”Sir, this bag is Croton powder.”
Yu Qingze and others already knew that the medicine powder was Croton powder, but the people watching below didn't know it. At this time, they all talked about it. There was some noise at the door.
Lominda asked, ”what is the use of this powder? What if they were all put in the water tank? ”
