Chapter 348

"the same!"

"It tastes the same to me!"

"Although it is a bit bitter, the taste of the two powders is indeed the same."

After several cooks tasted it, they all said the same thing.

"Impossible!" Song Tao said, "You don't understand glaze, how can you taste it?"

Before the officials of the Third Division could speak, the chefs who had been invited all shouted unhappily: "How do you say that? We are all the best cooks in the city. I dare not say anything else, but this taste has been something I have learned since I was a child." The discernment is so great that it is impossible to be wrong.”

Others swore: "If I taste it wrong, I am willing to hold a flowing banquet in our restaurant for three days to compensate you."

He stood aside and said, "Who wants to come forward and have a taste? Everyone will know if we are lying if we taste it!"

The crowd was not afraid of the height of the stage when watching the show. They all shouted in the crowd: "Let me try it! There is no apricot in Lixi Street on Dongjie that I can't taste, and my tongue is not inferior to that of cooks like you." .”

Others booed: "Let him have a taste, let him go up and have a taste."

The officials of the Third Division ignored these people, but began to whisper in groups of threes, threes, and twos.

Song Tao suddenly raised her head, looked at Yuan Yunzhong and said in horror: "Yes, it's you! It's you... who hurt me!"

Why did Yuan Yunzhong hurt her, but she murmured for a long time and couldn't explain it.

Yuan Yunzhong sneered and said: "Didn't Miss Song San say that Boss Song's 'jade porcelain' was made with cow ashes? When the officials from the Third Division came to see you, didn't you swear that you had not 'unjustly accused' Song?" Boss, are you saying that you are 'upright and not afraid of the shadow's distortion'? Why, Boss Song's porcelain without the addition of cow ashes turned out like ivory and warm jade, how come your jade porcelain with the addition of 'cow ashes' was not broken at all? A complete one. Miss Song San, should you explain what is going on?"

"Someone tampered with my clay pot." Until now, Song Tao could only insist on it, but she felt very weak. Her hands were unconsciously twisted like twists, and she couldn't help but look at Prince Ning.

Prince Ning opened a gilt flower-painted Sichuan fan with a "swish" sound, and shook it slowly and leisurely, as if he was not involved.

Song Tao bit her lip.

The chief prosecutor of the Criminal Department patted the prison wall hard.

Everyone knew that this was going to be a sentence, so they couldn't help but calm down and hold their breath.

There was silence again in front of Liulichang Gate.

The chief judge of the Criminal Department said: "The case of the Da Song family accusing the Xiao Song family of filthy sacrifices is not established. According to the law, Boss Song is not guilty and was released in court. The Da Song family falsely accused the Xiao Song family and was punished with twenty big boards. A fine of two hundred taels of silver."

The fine of silver is small, but the punishment of the cane... If the servants of the Yamen are not bribed in advance, twenty big fines can cost a person's life.

Song Tao's legs went weak and she almost collapsed on the ground.

She shouted that she was wronged: "I did not falsely accuse Song Jiyun. Someone really touched the glaze in my pottery pot. If you don't believe it, I can fire another kiln."

It's a pity that no one paid attention to her.

After Sansi discussed in a low voice for a while, they all nodded and said "yes".

The chief prosecutor of the Procuratorate also asked Prince Ning: "Do you think it is appropriate?"

Prince Ning said angrily: "The vassal prince is not allowed to make friends with courtiers, let alone the three divisions trying the case? I just came to see the excitement, you adults can judge whatever you want, there is no room for me to comment!"

The presiding judge from the Metropolitan Procuratorate pretended not to understand and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, you are too polite. You are in charge of a party and you know the court laws best. We have a lot to learn from you!"

But he did not mention what his opinion was, but directly ordered the clerk waiting aside: "Go and draw up an announcement for us to review."

The clerk promised, bowed his head and wrote quickly.

Song Tao's eyes turned red and she shouted anxiously: "My lords, I was wronged! You have to make the decision for me, you have to make the decision for me!"

Although there was a government officer on the scene who stopped her in time, the chief prosecutor of the Criminal Department still looked worried and scolded the government officer on the scene: "Is this how you usually handle cases?"

Those government officials did not dare to sway anymore. They lit the mighty sticks and drank "Quiet" like they usually did when complaining. The two government officials who stopped Song Tao even whispered: "If you continue to do this, according to the law, you can use the stick again." twenty."

"But I, I was wronged!" Song Tao's legs gave way and she collapsed on the ground, but she still said in a whisper.

She didn't want to be in such a mess, but she was so scared that she couldn't stand up.

She wanted to ask Prince Ning for help, but she knew that Prince Ning was ruthless and she was afraid of him from the bottom of her heart.

She looked around confused, not knowing what to do.

On the contrary, people watching the excitement have already started talking about it.

"I think Miss Song San is just inferior to others in skills and is jealous of her cousin. The people who bullied us in Beijing didn't understand porcelain and wanted to get away with it. Unexpectedly, Mr. Yuan had a sharp eye and saw through it, so she started playing tricks!"

"However, this girl is also a bit stupid. For such a big battle, she didn't think about how she planned to end it if the fire failed!"

"You mean, there are still some secrets in this!"

"It's hard to say, it's hard to say."

"I think she relied on Prince Ning to support her. Unexpectedly, the devil is as tall as the devil. Then Boss Song also has someone to help him speak."

Everything was said for a while.

Song Jiyun only had some vague guesses before, but now he is almost certain that something happened.

She couldn't help but glance at Yuan Yunzhong and thought, he worked so hard for her, how could she just sit back and enjoy the results?

Song Jiyun took a few steps forward, saluted the presiding officials, and said in a clear voice: "Sir, according to the law, can I accuse Miss Song of false accusation?"

There was silence in front of the Liulichang gate.

Song Jiyun solemnly said: "I know that you have already judged that I have won. But this is not a simple matter of winning or losing. I was thinking just now that if everyone feels unfair, they can go to the Yamen to complain out of thin air. In the same way, things like porcelain burning that do not tolerate any falsehoods and can be self-proven are fine. If it is something like rumors and cannot be self-proven, what will happen to those who are falsely accused?"

"Yes! Yes! What Boss Song said makes sense!" The spectators immediately agreed excitedly.

"There have never been people who were driven to death by rumors before!"

"My lords!" Song Jiyun spoke loudly over the noisy voices, "This case must not be made, otherwise it will be harmful for hundreds of years."

Some officials from the Third Division also started talking quietly.

Some of the presiding judges nodded.

Yuan Yunzhong cast a smiling look at Song Jiuyun.

Among women, there is only one Song Jiyun who can understand him.

Prince Ning looked confused.

Only Song Tao rushed towards Song Jiyun with a stern voice: "Song Jiyun, you are harming me!"

Yuan Yunzhong's expression tightened.

A yamen official stopped her with quick eyesight and hands: "How brave! Howl in the court, do you still have the law?"

Zheng Quan and others also stopped in front of Song Jiyun.

But Song Jiyun pushed away the human wall in front of her, looked down at Song Tao coldly: "You have done so many bad things, why do you still think that others want to accept you, tolerate you, and forgive you?"
