Chapter 146 146: You can’t hide from what’s coming (second update)

This made Xiao Tao, who was watching the progress of the matter in the crowd, couldn't help but become anxious. Sure enough, just as Mrs. Chang guessed, this alone would not make them plead guilty at all.

She couldn't help but search everywhere. Is the key Mrs. Zhuang here?

When the official in the court heard the report whispered by his subordinates, he subconsciously looked at Mr. Zhuang, who was there, and then looked at Jie Ming, who was blushing and thick-necked with anger, and finally gave a shocked expression, "Quiet!"

, an important witness appears in this case, and the witness will be called to court."

As soon as these words came out, Mr. Zhuang and Mr. Shen looked at each other, wondering what kind of play they were going to sing next. Seeing that Mr. Shen was a little panicked again, Mr. Zhuang glared at him and signaled him to hold on.

Don't let anyone see the clues.

When Jie Ming saw this, he sneered. He couldn't hide even if he wanted to.

The Yamen came in with a white-haired old woman, and the crowd watching the trial couldn't help but widen their eyes. They didn't know where this old woman came from, so no one expressed their opinions, and they seemed to be waiting to see what happened.

Mr. Zhuang was very calm at first. When he saw the old woman coming in, his eyes widened and he shouted immediately, "Ignorant woman, what are you doing here? Why don't you go back quickly? Is this what you can do?"

"Mrs. Zhuang?" Mr. Shen on the side finally recognized this old woman. However, after not seeing each other for many years, why has she aged so much? Logically speaking, they are the same generation, and now this woman is much older than him.

There are more than one generation.

Mrs. Zhuang sneered at Mr. Zhuang and did not respond to his words. Instead, she knelt down and saluted the official above her in a dignified manner, "Master Qingtian, Rong, a commoner woman, wants to report."

"Reporting whom and what?"

"Report him for hiding gunpowder and plotting against him."

Mrs. Zhuang pointed at Mr. Zhuang, took out a small paper bag from her arms and presented it with both hands, "This is physical evidence."

Mr. Zhuang did not expect that the woman would stab him in the back at the critical moment, so he hurriedly said, "Sir, these are all slanderous words. She hates the younger ones and deliberately puts the blame on others. It cannot be trusted."

Xie Ming also immediately said, "Sir, we must strictly investigate. Moreover, gunpowder is a matter controlled by the court. If there is still a large amount of it circulating outside, we have to guard against it."

The official in the high hall clapped his hands and signaled everyone to be quiet. He took the small paper bag handed over by the master. He opened it and smelled it. A smell of gunpowder came out, but the paper wrapping the gunpowder had multiple inscriptions written on it.

The name of the fireworks and firecrackers workshop is obviously the source of these gunpowders.

Mr. Zhuang glanced at his wife with hatred. This woman was really hateful and he shouldn't have spared her life. But he couldn't care about it now. He hurriedly said, "Sir, I am an honest businessman and I have absolutely no evil intentions..."

…”

"Sir, he also hid a large amount of gunpowder in the house. If you don't believe it, you can search the house and you will definitely find something. Even the women heard him discussing with Mr. Shen to blow up the city of Yiyang.

Barracks, preparing for rebellion..."

Mrs. Zhuang's words made the audience burst into uproar. Is this Mr. Zhuang really so crazy?

Conspiracy, once confirmed, will be a serious crime that will punish the Nine Clans.

"Sir, this is all slander. You can't believe it at all. No matter how cowardly you are, you don't dare to rebel..." Mr. Zhuang immediately shouted that he was wronged and never dared to be as calm as before.

Master Shen was so frightened that he quickly knelt down and said, "My lord, I know for sure that I am an honest businessman and I have no intention of treason."

At this time, he was sweating heavily and dripping on the ground. He had never regretted like this for a moment. If he had known that Zhuang was like this, he should not have waded into the muddy water.

"Sir, it's better to get to the bottom of it, and don't let the thieves clear their names." Xie Ming took the opportunity to say.

The official sitting in the high hall saw Xie Ming staring straight at him, and suddenly broke into a cold sweat. He knew how powerful the Jie family was, and it was not worth offending the Jie family for this, so he was shocked.

Throw down the signature and order people to immediately go to Zhuang Mansion and Shen Mansion to search.

He also ordered someone to immediately report to Master Zhang that this matter was not a trivial matter and he was afraid that he would not be able to bear it.

Things took a turn for the worse, and Mr. Zhuang suddenly turned pale. He knew that this woman must have some back-up plan to come here today, and he was not far from being finished now.

So, he rushed over and grabbed Mrs. Zhuang's neck, and said ferociously, "I'll strangle you, a vicious woman, for letting you frame me like this..."

Mrs. Zhuang did not resist. She looked at him with wide eyes and contempt, "When you killed my father and united with the clan to seize my property, I was waiting for today and strangled me to death if you could."

When Mr. Zhuang heard this, he was really ready to strangle this vicious woman to death.

The officer on the side immediately hit Mr. Zhuang's hand with a stick. Mr. Zhuang could only let go of his hand in pain. Mrs. Zhuang fell to the ground and gasped for breath. Her eyes were still staring at Mr. Zhuang, and the corners of her mouth were hooked.

He smiled, but she couldn't die yet, she had to wait to see him cut off his descendants.

"Vicious woman, you poisonous woman, I'm going to kill you..." Mr. Zhuang yelled out of control.

The superior official was immediately furious and gave an order to beat Mr. Zhuang ten times on the grounds of contempt of court.

Everyone in Yiyang City knows how the Zhuang family made a fortune. This man was a son-in-law who made his fortune by living in poverty. What's more, the children he had with Mrs. Zhuang all died inexplicably one by one. Now Mr. Zhuang

None of his children were born to Mrs. Zhuang, they were all children of concubines whom he adopted later.

This is a werewolf.

The people who were watching had only one voice this time, such evildoers must be severely punished, otherwise God has no eyes.

Seeing this development, Xiao Tao felt relieved. This time she was ready to watch the show and tell Mrs. Chang later.

When Master Zhang, the prefect, arrived, it happened that the Yamen came in carrying boxes of gunpowder that they had found from the Zhuang family and the Shen family. In addition to these, there were many weapons and even privately made dragon robes. Now

Both the Zhuang family and the Shen family were at a loss to defend themselves. This alone could convict them of a serious crime.

"Sir, it's unjust, it's unjust..." Mr. Shen shouted loudly with tears in his eyes. He really didn't know why there were these rebellious things in his family?

I had known this before, I had known this before, why bother in the first place?

Mr. Zhuang said nothing. He had known for a long time that something would be found in his house, but he didn't expect that the poisonous woman was so well-prepared. Now he was powerless to argue.

Mr. Zhang inspected those things one by one. The dragon robe was crudely made, but it was also a dragon robe. Of course, it was a bit far-fetched to rebel based on these, but with all the witnesses and material evidence, this crime could not be cleared away, so he immediately ordered Zhuang Chen to be imprisoned.

Both families were jailed and then reported to their superiors immediately. This case cannot be delayed.

Even Mrs. Zhuang, the whistleblower, was imprisoned. Mrs. Zhuang was escorted away by the policemen with a calm look on her face. Even if she had to pay for herself, she would give Zhuang a bad death.

What was originally a case of exploding tea brick workshops has now turned into a serious case of rebellion. It can be predicted that the snowball will definitely snowball in the future.

Chang Xi's brows did not loosen after hearing Xiao Tao's vivid explanation. If the matter was so big, it must not have been planned by Shi Bichi from the beginning.

It's Mrs. Zhuang. She has been dormant for many years and may have been waiting for this opportunity for revenge, so she has prepared things like the dragon robe long ago, waiting for the critical moment to deliver a fatal blow to the unfaithful person.

She misjudged Mrs. Zhuang's determination to take revenge, and Shi Bichi also misjudged it. It's hard to say who took advantage of whom.

Xiao Tao originally said it quite happily, but when she saw Chang Xi's expression, the smile on her face suddenly dropped.

"Ms. Chang, are you... unhappy?"

Hearing Xiao Tao's cautious words, Chang Xi relaxed his brows and said, "The matter has come to this, it's useless to say anything." After a pause, "Xiao Tao, don't underestimate people's hearts in the future."

There are two things in this world that cannot be looked at directly, one is the sun and the other is the human heart.

Xiao Tao nodded, seeming to understand the words. It was obviously a good thing, but she didn't understand why Madam Chang was like this.

Chang Xi did not explain, but let the little girl figure it out secretly.

Shi Bichi came to take credit with a smile, "Ms. Chang, don't worry now. I told you that it would be done properly. Now those two families are just waiting to confiscate their homes and exterminate their clans. With this precedent, the tea merchants in the future will consider it."

Think carefully before acting."

Although she said that, she actually felt quite unhappy. She knew that she had been tricked by Mrs. Zhuang and was being severely used. It would be a lie to say that she was not jealous.

What she likes is the pleasure of being in control of everything, rather than being used by others, which gives her no sense of accomplishment.

Damn Mrs. Zhuang!

Chang Xi did not misread the flash of resentment in Shi Bichi's eyes. With Shi Bichi's urine, she should be very angry now, and she was indeed so.

So she smiled and said, "How can I feel uneasy about Miss Shi San's work? When I get better, I will definitely organize a banquet to thank you."

"Then I'll wait." Shi Bichi covered her mouth and smiled.

As for implicating innocent people, Chang Xi did not complain about it. No one dared to intervene in a major rebellion case. Naturally, she could only wait and see what happened. I am afraid that even Shi Bichi had to tighten his tail now to prevent others from letting anyone know.

Implicating the matter on herself.

At this time, the entire city of Yiyang was under martial law, all major fireworks and firecracker workshops were strictly inspected, and even ships were not allowed to enter or leave the port, and the atmosphere entered a state of anxiety.

Yuan Hao secretly came to the other courtyard to meet Xie Jin.

"The bosses are furious. It seems that someone is behind this matter. Ziyang, we have to guard against it."

He really didn't expect that such a small thing would turn out to be such a big snowball, and would make people above him set their sights on Yiyang City. At this stage, it was not a good thing.

Xie Jin still looked calm, "It's too bright, your heart is confused."

Hearing this, Yuan Hao couldn't help but smile bitterly. He was no match for Xie Jin, but the old god was still there. Over the years, the political opponents in the past had not completely relaxed. They had been tracing what happened back then. Apparently they suspected something. His mother, Princess Qianrong,

Working hard in Beijing is just to buy time.

"In this case, let's take advantage of the situation and divert the disaster eastward."

Hearing Xie Jin's words, Yuan Hao's eyes widened instantly. Can he still operate like this?
