Chapter 868 Embroidery Shop Owner (2)
When Ji Xiaomu got off Lin Feng's carriage, she saw a group of people gathered in front of the yamen.
"Let my husband out! He is innocent!" A woman cried and made a scene in front of the yamen.
"Let my dad out, let my dad out!!!" a boy about seven or eight years old also cried. "My dad didn't do anything bad, why are you arresting him? Let him out now."
"Who is so rude in front of the yamen?" An officer walked out viciously and shouted angrily at the woman.
"Sir, my husband is innocent! Please let him go..." The woman calmed down a little when she saw the officer, but she still cried to him.
"He has committed a crime, so naturally there will be an interrogation by the authorities. Now that the result is out, we are just waiting for the victim to come over and convict him. You are making a big fuss here, do you want the authorities to sentence him to a few more years?" the officer said coldly, knowing these people's pain points well.
Sure enough, after hearing this, the woman no longer dared to make a fuss, and she even covered her son's hands to stop him from crying.
"Sir, when can I meet my husband?" the woman asked.
"Wait! Stop making any more noise, or you will be locked up together!" The officer glanced at the woman coldly and warned her.
The woman was so frightened that she took several steps back, but she was unwilling to give up, so she collapsed on the ground and cried silently.
Whenever passers-by passed by, she would deliberately say some ambiguous words, implying that her husband was wrongly accused and that someone had bribed the officials to make her husband take the blame, thus arousing public opinion and anger from others.
"My husband was in the embroidery workshop all day long. He had no idea why he was arrested and thrown into jail. The officers sent there just said that he had offended someone... My poor husband, it's my incompetence, oo..."
"Jinxiuge is obviously a noble lady, so the official would protect her so much. He didn't even need to call anyone to the court, and directly sentenced my husband..."
"How can this be possible? They are clearly colluding in secret to harm my husband and force us to close down so that she can dominate alone."
"My poor son has to lose his father at such a young age. It's really unfair!! Woo..."
Ji Xiaowu stood in front of the woman, listening to her slanderous words, which seemed to be getting more and more excited, and her words were very well organized.
Many passers-by were provoked by her, and seeing this, Ji Xiaomu couldn't let her go on like this.
Not only will it ruin Lin Feng's reputation, but it will also cause the yamen to lose credibility among the people. Who will come to the yamen to ask the masters to judge cases in the future?
"After hearing so much from you, do you have any evidence?" Ji Xiaomu stepped forward and asked curiously.
"Yes, yes! What evidence do you have? Hearing you say that, I feel like this government office is cannibalistic. If it is really as you said, then who among us will dare to come to the government office in the future?" said another passerby.
"That's right. You have to have evidence for what you say. I've seen adults judge cases. They will never just convict someone directly. They always send people to investigate." Another person also said.
"I... do these things require evidence? My husband is in the embroidery workshop all day long and doesn't even know the owner of Jinxiu Pavilion. How could he harm her?" The woman panicked and said quickly.
"What you said is even more unreasonable. Since the adults have already investigated, it must be related to your husband. Otherwise, why would they arrest him for no reason? There must be a reason for arresting him, right?" Ji Xiaomu immediately exposed.
