Chapter 2906 The Real World 256

The next day, the trial was held again, and the people outside were still crowded.

Zhang Er said to Master Zhang: "Master, before the trial, I want to say one thing."

"What's up?"

"Yesterday, Muzhi Tao couldn't convict her because of the handkerchief. What if the handkerchief was false?" Zhang Er said.

"Naturally it doesn't count."

"Okay. I want to confront Aunt Xi." Zhang Er said forcefully.

"Pass the West."

The West came up again, this time facing Zhang Ershi questioning.

"We all know that Xi is a widow and lived a hard life, but yesterday I saw her wearing a gold bracelet on her hand, and she went to the butcher's stall to buy pork, and then she went home with a cloth."

"According to what I learned from Aunt Xi's next-door neighbors, Aunt Xi can't buy pork several times a year, and she hasn't pulled cloth for several years. I also asked if they knew if Aunt Xi had a gold bracelet. They all Said that she had never seen her wearing any gold bracelets. Your lord, you can summon the neighbors around Aunt Xi to ask, and you will know whether what I said is true."

"pass."

Immediately came three women, all of them were neighbors who lived next door to Aunt Xi, and they were all honest and poor people.

"This official asks you, you all have to tell the truth, if you dare to tell a lie, just hit the ten boards."

"Yes, yes, yes." The three nodded in panic.

"How is the situation at Aunt Xi's house?"

"Aunt Xi lost her husband at an early age and has always been alone to serve her in-laws. Her in-laws are too old to work. His father-in-law's legs are not good, and his mother-in-law is paralyzed on the bed. The family's livelihood depends on Aunt Xi. on her body. She is a hard-working woman, and for many years she has relied on her neighbors to help her."

"Yeah. The clothes on her body were made when her husband was there. Since her husband left, she has never seen her make clothes."

"Have you ever seen her wearing a gold bracelet?" Master Zhang asked.

All three shook their heads.

"My lord, if she could afford a gold bracelet, her life would not be so miserable."

"Yeah yeah."

Zhang Er said immediately: "Sir, she is wearing that gold bracelet on her hand. You can find out by searching."

Aunt Xi subconsciously hid her hand back, and immediately a yaman came forward, grabbed her arm, and pulled out the hand she was hiding, and a golden bracelet appeared on her wrist.

The yamen took off the bracelet and handed it to Master Zhang.

Master Zhang looked at the gold bracelet, which was in good condition, "Xi Shi, where did you get this bracelet from?"

Aunt Xi's expression changed, and her speech became hesitant, "Bracelets, bracelets, I made money myself."

"She lied."

Master Zhang was terrified of the shock, "You tell the truth. Otherwise, this official will punish you for the crime of contempt of the court."

"I, I, I really earned that gold bracelet. Why can't I earn it myself." Aunt Xi squatted her neck and raised her head, pretending to be calm.

At this moment, a yamen came to Master Zhang's ear and whispered a word.

After Lord Zhang nodded, a yamen took out a package and threw it in front of Aunt Xi, "Do you recognize this thing?"

When Aunt Xi saw the package, her expression changed.

The yamen opened the package, and there was a pile of silver ingots inside. The shiny silver ingots could not be earned by many people present.
