The Big Farmer of Time Traveling

Chapter 438

The fish already had a fishy smell, but after it died, the smell became worse than before. The guard wrinkled his nose and stepped forward to check the dead fish.When dead fish with arsenic were put into the rice fields, not only the fish would die, but the rice would also be bred and damaged. This matter is very bad in nature.

"Follow him to the court, and I'll invite your lord." The officer pointed to another idle officer of the county government office and asked him to help lead the way.

People passing by the county government heard the commotion here from a distance, and all became curious, and ran back to inform the neighbors to watch the excitement outside the county government hall.

On the other hand, the county magistrate of Jiangning heard from his subordinates that someone had put poisonous dead fish in the paddy fields of Linjia Village, so he immediately put down what he was doing and began to hear the case.

The county magistrate was very interested in their idea of ​​raising fish in rice fields this year, and was waiting to see the effect when the rice was harvested this summer. He was very unhappy when someone killed something bad.

There were more and more people outside the court, and everyone was excitedly discussing whether the case would be handled by the county magistrate himself.

Niu Mingxia saw that the people from Lin Family Village had really brought him to the county government office, his legs were shaking like a sieve, and he regretted so much, why was he confused by lard back then, thinking of using such a method to take revenge on the Zhou family, it was just that he didn't Did you marry Niu Chunxing...

Amid everyone's speculation and Niu Mingxia's fear, the county magistrate appeared above the court with his master.

"Good guy, it's really the county magistrate who personally tried the case."

"This case is serious. It is said that the man who was tied up poisoned the rice fields. If he really succeeds, the rice in the fields will grow up and people will not be poisoned after eating it. The rice in a rice field will be poisoned." There are quite a few people, the county magistrate should really pay attention to it."

"I just want to know why that wretched-looking person can't think about poisoning the rice fields, and how the people of the Lin family village caught him. I feel like there is a big show to watch."

……

Niu Mingxia listened to the discussion at the door and wished that he was deaf and couldn't hear anything, and even wanted to pass out as if nothing had happened.

Seeing Niu Mingxia's guilt-ridden appearance, everyone knew that his feelings had really poisoned people's fields. There were so many hatreds and grievances, and it was not just one or two people who were poisoned like this.

The county magistrate sat at the highest position and could see the overall situation. His heart was already biased towards Linjiacun. Looking at Niu Mingxia who was tied up, he asked the guards to untie the rope first, then escorted him to the other side, and let the people of Linjiacun directly tell the truth. The incident process.

At this time, Zhou Lao Liu didn't stand up and shout, and the villagers all took a step back spontaneously, leaving the field open for Li Zheng to play.

Li Zheng had prepared a draft early on, and in a few words he explained what happened clearly and plainly, listing witnesses and physical evidence one by one, and what he said was well-founded.

As soon as this was said, the people listening outside the court began to discuss.

"Hey, that's the thing about feelings. Throwing dead fish in the field in order to kill others' fish is not unethical."

"Fish farming in rice fields? This is the first time I've heard of it. It seems that they can raise fish well. Shall we go to Linjia Village sometime?"

"The person I hate the most is the one who spoils the crops. If this happened to me, I would kill the scumbag who poisoned me."

"I heard before that the villagers in Linjia Village are different. Today, I saw that they really deserved their reputation. It is said that the demeanor of people standing in the courtroom is not like ordinary mud legs."

The people outside were discussing so intensely that there was a buzzing sound in the courtroom. The county magistrate picked up the gavel and let it go: "Silence!"

The crisp sound of the gavel passed through the crowd, and with the majestic voice of the county magistrate, the people who were discussing enthusiastically quieted down immediately.

The county magistrate looked at Niu Mingxia: "Niu Mingxia, what do you have to say?"

"Woooooooooooo." Niu Mingxia nodded frantically.

The guard stepped forward to remove the rag stuffed in his mouth, and Niu Mingxia's saliva immediately flowed all over the floor.

The master looked at Niu Mingxia's demented appearance, stood up and yelled, "Speak quickly if you have something to say, don't pretend to be stupid in the courtroom."

"Caomin, Caomin's mouth has been stuffed with rags for too long, and his tongue is still numb at this moment." Just now when he heard those people outside making irresponsible remarks, Niu Mingxia suddenly had an idea, that is, people from Linjiacun beat yourself up, frame yourself.

Thinking that his idea could be fooled, Niu Mingxia was determined, knelt on the ground and said inarticulately: "The grass people are wronged, my lord, the grass people don't know what dead fish are, these are all deliberately framed by the people of the Lin family village, me and Mr. Zhou Liu's nephew fell in love with the same brother, because they held a grudge for this matter, and they were not satisfied with beating me up at the beginning, and now they are charging Cao Min with the big crime of poisoning, Cao Min is really wronged .”

Niu Mingxia spoke so unclearly that the obedient people thought that brother liked Niu Mingxia, and that it was a man from the Zhou family who took his love.

However, the fact is that the Zhou family man and brother like each other, and Niu Mingxia is the one who has a hand in it.

"If you lie, find someone decent. When did we hit you?" Zhou Laoliu asked Niu Mingxia righteously, with a bit of disgust, "For a person like you, beating you makes my hands dirty." .”

Zhou Laoliu's appearance made the spectators laugh happily: "That's right, he doesn't look like he has been beaten, at most he looks like he has rolled around on the ground."

Niu Mingxia tore off his clothes in disbelief and looked at the place where he had been beaten by Zhou Laoliu before. He found that there were really no bruises, so why was he in such pain.

In the county magistrate's opinion, Niu Mingxia is just a mouse dropping, who specializes in spoiling good soup, and if he doesn't want to listen to him, people will just gag him again.

This time the gag was replaced with something else. Niu Mingxia smelled a strange smell from the gag cloth, which made him dizzy.

Without Niu Mingxia talking nonsense and making trouble, the county magistrate began to seriously try the case.

Arsenic is not an ordinary medicine, and people in pharmacies are very careful when selling arsenic, so he immediately sent people to various pharmacies in the county to ask if anyone had bought arsenic recently.

When the people from the county government asked Yaotong about this kind of thing, he told him that a man bought a little arsenic from the medicine shop four days ago.The guard didn't go to the next house, and directly took the drug boy to the county government court to confront him. The person who bought the arsenic was Niu Mingxia.

This time the evidence was complete, Niu Mingxia did not resist, and bowed his head obediently.

Having figured out what was going on in the case, the county magistrate immediately punished him on the spot: Niu Mingxia put poisonous dead fish in the paddy field with fish fry, and thought that no damage was caused, he was beaten with 20 boards, paraded in the street, and imprisoned for three years , Compensation for [-] taels of silver on Saturday.

The fish that did not kill other people have to pay 20 taels of silver. If the fish fry in the paddy field were really killed, I don’t know how much silver they would have to pay.

Niu Mingxia really wanted to pass out at this time, how could he get out 20 taels of silver, he was not under the control of his husband, he spent every penny he had on weekdays, how could he have such a large amount of silver in his hand .

Besides him, Niu Mingxia's family also has his two elder brothers, two elder brothers and father and mother. The father and mother of the family don't care about the business, and the two brothers compare each other, and they want to get money from them. God is still difficult.

The case has been judged, and the next thing will be done by the guards. The county magistrate left the court with the master who recorded the whole process.

The people of Lin Family Village watched the guards beat Niu Mingxia [-] times, relentlessly beat his butt to pieces, and felt very happy. This kind of scum can't be relieved without beating.

Then, like a dead dog, Niu Mingxia was dragged outside to complete the next thing - to parade in the street.

The county magistrate's move was not just looking for trouble, his purpose was actually very simple - that is, while punishing Niu Mingxia, he would spread the word about Linjia Village's bold practice of raising fish in rice fields.

He has been busy for the past two months, and only sent people from the county government to visit Linjia Village a few times. He heard from the people who came back that the rice seedlings raised in rice fields grew more energetic than those without fish, and the fish looked very healthy. Well, I guess it will grow up when the rice is harvested.

Lin Family Village only used rice fields to raise fish in their own village, and did not take the initiative to publicize it. Not many people knew about it. The county magistrate saw the feasibility of rice field fish farming and the benefits it would bring to Jiangning County, so he did not hesitate to use it. Opportunity to put rice-fish farming in the public eye.

Sure enough, in a small county like Jiangning County, there may not be a prisoner parading the streets for several years. The guards and Niu Mingxia attracted a lot of attention as soon as they appeared on the street.

The person who watched the entire trial process outside the court just now followed the official to help explain, and told everyone about the bad things Niu Mingxia did, and successfully made everyone who heard about it hate Niu Mingxia.

There were no rotten vegetables or rotten eggs in his hands, but he looked carefully on the road and could see one or two gravels. Someone quickly picked up the gravels and threw them at Niu Mingxia.

"Put poisonous dead fish in the crops, and do such a thing that devoid of conscience and conscience, and it only took [-] big boards. It should be [-] big boards more!"

"I've seen this man before. He often sneaks into the alleys. He's not a serious guy. He dares to say that about a good brother in court. I don't want to kill him with stones."

……

The small gravels on the road were not big, but the edges and corners were not very flat. After a few strokes, Niu Mingxia had several cuts on his face, and he looked even more embarrassed.

"Young husband, everyone on the street is very excited. I see that Niu Mingxia's face is covered with blood. Some people think that this is not enough, and they sprinkle a few handfuls of ashes on Niu Mingxia's head while the guards are not paying attention. I will never dare to do such a wicked thing again.”

"No, it's not just him, other bad-minded people don't dare to do it when they see it. I heard that Niu Mingxia is poor, how can he compensate the sixth master of the Zhou family with 20 taels of silver? What if he says he has no money to renege on his debt?"

Lin Xiazhi smiled and didn't speak when he heard Lin Xiaodong's inquiring news from outside.
