4. Chapter IV
Zhou Lijuan was startled, bowed her head and wept, and said softly and slowly: "The great people's daughter is really wronged. ”
"Dare to quibble!" the county lord glared angrily, "Zhu Yuanyu has already explained everything about your crime, above the court, everyone is watching, what else do you have to deny!"
Zhou Lijuan trembled, "My lord knows it." What evidence does Zhu Yuanyu have for saying this?"
"This ......" That's right, just now the county adults saw that Zhu Yuanyu was so confident, so they believed it, and they actually forgot that they still needed evidence to try the case. "Zhu Yuanyu, do you have any evidence?"
Zhu Yuanyu snorted coldly, and said gloomily: "People are watching the sky, how can the unjust soul of death be so easily dissipated." Zhu Hui: Do you know why I know how you committed the crime?"
Hearing that his name was said gloomily by Zhu Yuanyu, Zhu Hui shuddered.
The onlookers were very curious, why did Zhu Yuanyu speak in such a tone, and how did he prove that Zhu Daniu's wife was killed by Zhu Hui?
"Zhu Hui, Zhou Lijuan, I'm afraid you don't know that what you have done has been seen by others......" Zhu Yuanyu paused, and said softly: "If a person dies at the end of his life, his soul will return to the underworld and be reincarnated; ”
As soon as the words fell, a cold wind suddenly blew in the court, and everyone in the hall shivered, the cold hairs in their hearts stood on end, and their hearts beat faster.
"Lady!"
"Sister-in-law!"
When the onlookers took a look, they found that the dead Li was standing behind Zhu Hui!
At some point, the dark and dim public hall was so quiet that even the sound of a needle seemed to be heard.
Everyone was frightened, the cowardly was already fainting, and the two trembled, almost wanting to go first.
The county lord also broke out in a cold sweat, his hand holding the startling wood shook slightly, and his throat subconsciously swallowed, cooing.
At this time, the people in the court were already very convinced that what Zhu Yuanyu said was indeed the truth, the murderer was Zhu Hui, and Zhou Lijuan was an accomplice!
Zhu Yuanyu nodded, Li's eyes widened, and he glared at Zhu Hui angrily, "You scoundrel! You hurt me, I won't let you go, you can't die well! You can't die well! Give me back my life-" As he spoke, a pair of gray ghost claws grabbed Zhu Hui's neck.
Zhu Hui was choked by the neck, his arms were squandered indiscriminately, his eyeballs were staring out, and he turned his head with difficulty, trying to ask for help.
Zhou Lijuan, who was next to her, was already frightened when she saw this, and kept crying and begging for mercy, intermittently telling the truth.
Zhu Yuanyu accidentally saw that water stains began to spread under Zhou Lijuan's skirt, exuding a smell of urine, and she was incontinent.
Zhu Yuanyu left a little in disgust, covered his nose, looked up at the county lord and said loudly: "My lord, now the unjust soul of the deceased has stepped forward to point out the murderer, and the accomplice Zhou Lijuan has also confessed...... He stopped, and saw that Zhu Hui had already lost his breath, so he continued, "The murderer is also ambushed, can this case be closed?"
The county lord wiped his sweat, "Yes, yes...... The case is closed, closed...... Retire, quit. ”
Zhu Yuanyu pointed at Zhou Lijuan, and the county lord hurriedly waved his hand and let the frightened Yacha pull her down, "The prisoner Zhou Lijuan will be escorted down and beheaded in three days!" After speaking, his eyes avoided Li's family, looked at Zhu Hui's corpse and said, "Abandon it in the mass grave." Then he was supported by the master and hurriedly retreated.
The county adults have left, and the timid people have also scattered. The rest of the court is either related to the incident or the bold and curious.
Zhu Daniu looked at Li stupidly, tears kept sliding down, "Lady......"
Zhu Erniu's eyes were red, and he looked excited, "Sister-in-law!"
Li, who was already a ghost, did not respond, but just stood in a daze, and she seemed to have her wish for revenge, and her resentment had dissipated a lot.
Seeing Li's lonely soul at first glance just now, Zhu Daniu and Zhu Erniu shouted excitedly, and then saw Li's hand pinching Zhu Hui's neck, and they were immediately frightened by Li's movements, until Zhu Hui ran out of breath and the county lord closed the case, and then he reacted.
Zhu Yuanyu couldn't see it and coughed.
Li Shi looked at him blankly.
"You have already taken revenge, so hurry up and go to the underworld to report for reincarnation, don't delay. ”
Li sobered up a little, seemed to understand what Zhu Yuanyu meant, nodded, and glanced at Zhu Da Niu and Zhu Erniu very reluctantly, and the figure disappeared.
"No—" Zhu Da Niu stood up abruptly and pounced on the place where Li had disappeared. Knowing that he was powerless to stop him, thinking of Zhu Yuanyu, he turned around and knelt heavily in front of Zhu Yuanyu with a thud.
Zhu Yuanyu didn't dare to accept this gift and dodged away.
Who knew that Zhu Erniu also knelt down to him.
Zhu Yuanyu was helpless, and hurriedly waved his hand to dodge, "Ouch, what are you doing here!"
Zhu Dafu didn't have time to calm down, and when he saw that his son was embarrassed, he hurriedly asked the family to step forward to escort him, and he stood in front of his son, and drank: "Zhu Daniu, what are your brothers going to do!"
Zhu Daniu just knelt and said nothing, Zhu Erniu looked ashamed, and said: "We wronged Young Master Zhu, I'm really sorry! I implore Young Master Zhu to accept our kneeling and forgive our sins! It's just my sister-in-law...... Can you ...... "Can you help her and reunite with us?"
"No, you can't. Zhu Yuanyu poked his head out from behind Zhu Dafu and shook his head, "I know what you want to say, it's useless, if you're dead, you're dead, and you can't come back." Feeling that his words were a bit cruel, he pursed the corners of his mouth and said, "I'm sorry." ”
Zhu Erniu sat on the ground in disappointment, looked at his equally sad eldest brother Zhu Daniu, and finally cried bitterly.
The people present couldn't help but sigh sadly in their hearts when they heard this, only Zhu Hui's father, village chief Zhu Gui had a sense of vicissitudes on his face, and the whole person suddenly became rickety, like a teenager old.
He usually prides himself on being fair, but he didn't expect his son to commit such a heinous crime, and his old face was lost. But thinking that his son had died tragically and could not even enter the ancestral grave after death, he couldn't help but cry.
In this way, a sentence has been fulfilled: the reason of heaven is clear, and the retribution is unpleasant.
.........
When I came out in the morning, it was almost noon when I left the yamen.
Zhu Yuanyu touched his deflated stomach and said to Zhu Dafu: "Dad, I'm hungry." ”
"Then let's hurry home, presumably your mother has already prepared the meal. ”
Sitting in a sedan chair back to Zhu's house, stepping over the brazier that Wang Chunmei had prepared, Zhu Yuanyu cleaned his hands and sat down with Zhu Dafu and Wang Chunmei to eat.
Although the Zhu family is rich and powerful, there are not so many rules, Zhu Yuanyu is shaving rice, and at the same time stuffing Wang Chunmei's dishes into his mouth, he has to think about how to deal with Zhu Dafu.
In order to let him go home to fill his stomach, Zhu Dafu didn't ask anything all the way, not asking at that time didn't mean not asking after the meal, and Zhu Yuanyu didn't plan to hide it.
Zhu Yuanyu thought that Zhu Dafu would ask-
Son, how did you know that the ghost of the Li family had been following Zhu Hui all along?
Son, how did you get the Lee family current?
Son, why aren't you scared when you see Lee?
As a result, Zhu Dafu only said, "Son, don't be afraid, my father and mother already knew that there would be such a day." ”
Wang Chunmei on the side nodded and looked at Zhu Yuanyu with concern.
Zhu Yuanyu was a little confused, what does it mean to know early?
Zhu Dafu sighed and touched Zhu Yuanyu's brain, "Son, in fact, not long after you were born, a person came to inform us, saying that you will open your eyes to heaven without a teacher in the sixteenth year, I and your mother didn't believe it, but I didn't think that it came true today, this is all providential......"
Ha? Zhu Yuanyu was stunned.
Wang Chunmei wiped her eyes with a handkerchief, "Son, don't be afraid, with your father and me, we will protect you." ”
"Mother, I'm not afraid. Zhu Yuanyu was comforted.
So that's the case, thanks to that Taoist, Zhu Yuanyu doesn't have to explain so much, as long as his parents believe in him, he originally thought that he might have to make a lot of effort to get his parents to accept his changes, after all, most ordinary people encounter ghosts and gods and are afraid of not being able to hide.
Now listening to Zhu Dafu and Wang Chunmei say this, Zhu Yuanyu can rest assured.
It is said that Zhou's wife was so yin by Mrs. Wang, and after waking up, the whole person couldn't get out of bed, and his shoulder hurt even more.
The doctor invited by Wang Chunmei couldn't diagnose the cause, and he was embarrassed to admit that he was not good at learning, so he said that Zhou's was an ordinary shoulder pain, and he could be cured after a few doses of medicine.
Wang Chunmei didn't break it at that time, and asked her subordinates to accompany the doctor to grab the medicine.
Wang Chunmei knows the skills of Mrs. Wang, and this time she only taught the Zhou family a lesson, so that she could know that it was not her turn to point fingers at this family.
In this way, Zhou drank the bitter medicine for a few days, but still did not get better, so he lost his temper.
"Quimp, I've been drinking medicine for so many days, and it doesn't work at all!
Zhou Shi lay in bed all day and suffered, and no one came to visit her to accompany her to relieve her boredom, thinking that he hadn't seen his niece for a few days, he was a little worried, after all, it was quite a big trouble that day, Zhu Dafu shouldn't have done anything to his niece, right?
Zhou stiffened his feet, called the girl who served her, and interrogated, "Why didn't my niece come to see me? ”
The girl was hesitant and didn't dare to look at Zhou.
A trace of bad thought flashed in Zhou's heart, and he asked sharply: "You dead girl! Say it quickly! Don't say that I sold you!"
The girl quickly knelt down.
It just so happened that Wang Chunmei came over at this time, and when she heard Zhou's threat, she couldn't help but sneer in her heart: "What a great majesty! It seems that the sins she has suffered in the past few days have not been able to make her sober."
Wang Chunmei walked in, smelled a foul smell of bitter medicine, covered her nose and mouth with a handkerchief, and looked unhappy.
When I saw the Zhou people, I was surprised.
Zhou, who was half-lying on the bed, had a withered face, high cheekbones protruding, and two lumps of rouge smeared for beauty made her not a ghost.
Wang Chunmei smiled contemptuously, this dead witch, now that she is at this point, she still has the strength to make waves, and she doesn't want to think about who is in charge of Zhu Zhai.
Zhou had already noticed Wang Chunmei, but he just didn't want to deal with her, and his eyes were fixed on the girl.
"Tell me what's going on with my niece!"
Wang Chunmei sneered.
Zhou seemed to notice Wang Chunmei's arrival at this time, and reprimanded angrily: "Unfilial things! What are you doing! I don't want to see you, let me out!"
Wang Chunmei's eyes were sympathetic.
"I came today to tell you that your good niece, Zhou Lijuan, has been beheaded. ”
"What!"
Zhou's eyes widened and his breath was short, "Damn, you dare to curse my niece like this!"
Wang Chunmei just looked at Zhou quietly, smiling.
Zhou was anxious, refused to believe it, and began to curse in his mouth.
Wang Chunmei clapped her hands, and someone came in with a box.
Zhou's heart was panicked, and his face tightened, "What are you going to do! Don't come here!"
The man walked over to Zhou's bed and slowly opened the box.
"Ahh
The box contained the head of Zhou Lijuan, who was not blind.
Wang Chunmei turned around and walked out of the door, not forgetting to explain.
"Since the old lady has seen it, let's take it to the burial, it's the mass grave. Also, ask a doctor to come and see it, don't let her die. ”
"Yes, ma'am. ”
