Isn't the county lord the star of literature that descended to the mortal world? Why can't you solve such a simple case?
Ye Jin looked at the complaint in his hand and felt a little troubled.
The first case of the day was a little tricky. It was actually a case of fighting over a child.
This case could be said to be simple and difficult.
Shangyuan County's Minister Zhang's entire family lived in a large house with three entrances and three exits on Dongshi Street.
Minister Zhang had two sons, only nine months apart in age.
When he found out that the age difference between Minister Zhang's two sons was so small, Ye Jin couldn't help but curse in his heart. Beast.
Because the age difference was not big, the wedding date of these two sons was only a few months apart.
What a coincidence.
10 months ago, both of Minister Zhang's daughters-in-law were pregnant at the same time.
She had given birth a few days ago.
However, there was one family that gave birth to a stillborn.
Thus, the dispute arose.
This was because the two daughters-in-law did not recognize the stillborn as their own flesh and blood. The healthy baby was.
The servant girls in their respective rooms also insisted that their master had given birth to a live fetus and not a stillborn fetus.
After quarreling at home for a few days, the two brothers even turned against each other and almost fought.
Minister Zhang had no choice but to file a complaint to the yamen.
After Ye Jin read the complaint in his hand, he looked up at the two crying women standing in front of him.
As for the other members of the Zhang family, they were naturally stopped by the bailiffs.
"You all said that this child is yours, but there's only one child. How can there be two mothers?!”Ye Jin asked.
One of the women immediately knelt on the ground and shouted,"Grand Master Qingtian, Qing 'er (the child's nickname) is our flesh and blood. Grand Master Qingtian, please seek justice for this commoner.”
The other woman's reaction was slower.
Seeing his sister-in-law kneeling on the ground, he hurriedly knelt on the ground and pointed at the woman."Big... Sister-in-law, you must have a conscience. It's clear that Qing 'er is our flesh and blood. Why are you fighting with me for the child?”
The sister-in-law was not willing to be outdone. She grabbed the woman's hair and tore it apart."What nonsense are you spouting? It was clearly you who wanted to snatch my Qing 'er.”
Ye Jin's scalp went numb from the noise.
He pointed at the two women who were tearing at each other and said,"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and pull it open!"
After the bailiffs pulled the two women apart, Ye Jin grabbed the Startling Wood Hall and slammed it heavily on the table in front of him. He snorted coldly and said,"What is this place? This is the county government, how can you mess around here?! If you dare to act recklessly again, be careful to punish you for shouting in court.”
When these words left his mouth, the two women were instantly frightened into silence.
Yes!
In ancient times, being an official was a pleasure.
A man of his word carries weight.
He was a man of his word.
However, if he temporarily suppressed these two people, the lawsuit would still have to continue.!
Ye Jin rubbed his swollen head again.
At the side.
Seeing that his master was in a difficult position, the burly constable Guo Er quickly walked over and asked in a low voice,"Is the county lord making things difficult for this case?!”
Ye Jin rolled his eyes at him and said unhappily,""What else?"
"I have a way to solve the county lord's worries," Guo Er hurriedly said.”
Ye Jin's interest was piqued.
Guo Er was usually a vulgar martial artist.
He was indeed loyal, but his brain was often unable to think straight.
He actually had a solution today?
"Tell me about it," Ye Jin quickly asked.”
"This is a method I heard from the storyteller. It might be useful.”Guo Er whispered to Ye Jin as if he was presenting a treasure.
Ye Jin instantly understood what this guy's idea was.
"Is it a blood test?"!”
Guo Er was instantly shocked and said with an incredulous expression,"So you already knew about this method?! You made me worry for nothing."
"Get lost." Ye Jin rolled his eyes at him.
He stood up and walked to the center of the courtyard.
Looking at the two sisters-in-law kneeling on the ground and crying softly, he could not help but sigh slightly.
Actually, he already had an idea in his heart.
However, that method was a little cruel and tested human nature.
However, if he didn't use that method, it would be difficult to distinguish right from wrong for a while.
If he had more time, Ye Jin could have called all the maids and servants in Minister Zhang's residence, as well as the midwife who delivered the two sisters-in-law, to interrogate them one by one.
Even if these people denied it from the beginning, they would definitely give themselves away if they were to be scared a little.
However, if that was the case, it would take a lot of time.
He did not want to work overtime because of such a small case, and he did not want to waste a day's sign-in reward because of such a small case.
In the crowd.
Zhu Yuanzhang saw that Ye Jin was hesitant and could not help but reveal a trace of disdain on his face.
He nudged the young man beside him with his shoulder and teased,"Didn't little brother say that your county magistrate is a literary star that descended to the mortal world?! Why couldn't they solve such a simple case?!”
When he said this, the others glared at him.
But what kind of person was Old Zhu?
Why would he be afraid of a few gazes?
The others were also feeling a little apprehensive.
This case was so simple. Why hadn't the county magistrate closed the case yet?
Didn't the storyteller say that one could determine the identity of the child by dripping blood?!
Even if he couldn't bear to let the child get hurt, he could still capture the midwife and servant girls for interrogation.
Who would dare to lie after a beating?!
However, just as everyone was discussing, Ye Jin finally spoke.
He looked at the sisters-in-law and asked again,"This official will ask one last time. Is what your sisters-in-law said before true?!”
The two of them immediately kowtowed to Ye Jin and said,"Lord Qingtian, what this woman said is true."”
"Alright then." Ye Jin knew that some people would not shed tears until they saw the coffin.
He decided not to keep her in suspense.
He called over a bailiff and whispered to him before returning to his seat behind the table.
The people present did not know what Ye Jin was up to, so they continued to watch patiently.
