Chapter Twenty-Four: A Very Different Ending
Is Jiang Tianluo asking her out?
If so, then this date location is really special enough.
"Go, why not. As for letting the house prepare, forget it. It's a bit too ostentatious. ”
"Do you need a slave or maid to call another car? ”
"Okay. ”
Yuhuan acted neatly, and soon found a carriage, Gu Mandong went out of the house in women's clothes and got into the carriage, but he changed into men's clothes in the carriage and went straight to the county office.
As soon as I arrived at the gate of the county yamen, it was already crowded with people who came to see the excitement, but fortunately, Gu Mandong was also familiar with everyone in the yamen, and when he entered directly, he happened to see Jiang Tianluo sitting on one side to listen to the trial, and Mo Jinyan, who should not have appeared.
"Gu Jiu, this way, sit down here. Mo Jinyan beckoned to Gu Mandong, quite enthusiastic.
Jiang Tianluo looked over, nodded at her, and pointed to the empty position beside him, the meaning was already obvious.
Seeing Gu Mandong sitting next to Jiang Tianluo, the smile on Mo Jinyan's face froze, and then he directly glared at Jiang Tianluo, and the appearance of gritting his teeth could generally figure out the conjecture in his heart.
"Take the suspect to court!"
"Take the suspect ......"
The official sang loudly, and Master Wan and Mrs. Wan went to the hall together and knelt in front of Jia Guanghe.
"Meet your lordship. ”
"Master Wan, this official asks you, have you ever raised an outer room named Yanhong outside, this girl is already pregnant and about to give birth?"
"Back to my lord, the grass people are wholeheartedly devoted to their wife and dare not raise a woman outside. Master Wan lowered his head in response, and this opening directly denied the fact of raising a woman.
"Master Wan, I'm afraid you don't know yet, this official sent someone to summon you and your lady together, because this Yan Hong is already dead, and gave birth to a son for you, but it's a pity that Yan Hong saved the child's life for you, but ended up with her own body incomplete, even so, you still have to deny the relationship between yourself and Yan Hong?"
Master Wan suddenly raised his eyes, his face was surprised, as if he didn't know what was going on here.
"Yan Hong, dead?this, how is this possible, she, she has already left, how can she die without saying goodbye? And this child, is this child really mine?" Master Wan's whole person looked extremely confused.
"Wan Guangchang, is it your own flesh and blood, you can't tell the difference yourself?"
"Back to my lord, when Yan Hong left, she once told me that she was not pregnant with grass people, this, how did she suddenly become grass people again, and she was still dead. Master Wan looked incredulous, and he couldn't figure it out.
"If you want to know the reason, you might as well ask your wife. Or, you should try the blood with your child to see if it's your own flesh and blood. ”
"No need. Children are the flesh and blood of all families, and I can testify to this. As for Yan Hong's death, it was she who took the blame for herself, provoked the people in the rivers and lakes who should not be provoked, and did not listen to the advice and fled without permission, which caused the disaster of killing. But the only thing she did right was to give birth to her master's flesh and blood, so that he could live peacefully until now. Of course, if it weren't for the wisdom of the adults, we would have lost this child. Mr. Xie. ”
Mrs. Wan did not wait for Jia Guanghe to verify, and had already taken the lead in acknowledging the identity of the child.
"Mrs. Wan, you keep saying that it was Yan Hong's vendetta in the rivers and lakes that killed her. According to our investigation, this case is not the case. The mother-in-law of the house where Yan Hong lived at the beginning sank into the river the next day after the official came to the door, and the wealth on her body completely exceeded the wealth she could create. And one of these jewels happens to have a pair of gold bracelets of yours, I wonder how you explain it, madam?"
"Jewelry is lost in my and other big families. What's more, it's just a pair of gold bracelets, and I don't care much about it on weekdays, and it's reasonable to be stolen by someone. Adults don't want to be good. ”
"Madame is so eloquent. But the next witness is the person next to Madame, her testimony, Madame, you ......"
Jia Guanghe's words had just come to this point, and the master hurriedly walked over, and after saying a few words in his ear, Jia Guanghe's face immediately changed.
"What's going on?" Gu Mandong also saw that something was wrong, and couldn't help but ask in a low voice, wanting to get some useful news from Jiang Tianluo.
"The witness hanged himself, and there is no witness to testify, even if this Mrs. Wan is very suspicious, but if someone comes out to testify perjury, I am afraid that this case will have to be closed. The subordinate knows a little lip language. Jiang Hang stood behind him and bowed slightly.
Jiang Hang's words fell, and immediately there was a commotion at the door, and a woman was tied up and sent to the scene of the Yamen court trial at this moment.
"Get on your knees. The other kicked the woman to her knees, and she knelt down all night.
"My lord, the grass people are the steward of the Wan family, Chang'an, on the orders of his wife to inquire about Yan Hong's disappearance, and accidentally found that this woman was arguing with a Jianghu person, and the other party said that the matter of chasing and killing Yan Hong was heard by the grass people themselves, and there were servants to testify. It's a pity that the Jianghu people ran away, and only took the woman and brought it to the yamen, asking the adults to make the decision for the red girl, and also to return the lady's innocence. ”
"Peach, how could it be you. Master Wan looked at the woman and was immediately surprised.
"Wan Guangchang, you man who has been abandoned from the beginning, I hate you, I hate you. It's a pity that I didn't kill your only son after all, and only took the life of Yanhong's slut. Haha......"
"You ......" Master Wan's body shook for a while, and it was obviously a big blow.
"The woman in the hall is Taohong, what you just said is the truth?" Jia Guanghe wrinkled his eyebrows and said, because of the death of the witness, there is now a prisoner who surrendered, even if Jia Guanghe is unwilling, he is helpless.
"It's me, I confess. Anyway, I won't live long, and I'm not afraid of death. It's a pity that I couldn't pull the most damned person to die together, but I was a little unwilling. Peach stared at Mrs. Wan's back, and her hatred was undisguised.
The official announced that in the case of giving birth to a child in a coffin in red, the prisoner Taohong confessed to buying murder, and was imprisoned for questioning and beheading after the autumn. ”
After a toss and turn, it turned out to be such a result, and Gu Mandong would not be satisfied.
"Go back. Jiang Tianluo patted Gu Mandong on the shoulder and got up.
"Aren't you determined to restore the innocence of the wronged person, why don't you say anything and leave?" Gu Mandong tugged at Jiang Tianluo's sleeve and looked at him puzzled.
"Innocence also needs to be what the man wants. Look at the woman's appearance, no matter how much she hates Mrs. Wan, she still apologizes for her, she gave up her innocence, not that I don't help. ”
Slowly loosen Jiang Tianluo's sleeves, Gu Mandong understood what he meant, but he always felt unhappy in his heart, watching the people of the Wan family take away the child, the woman was pressed down, and left to be beheaded after the autumn.
However, after Lord Jia's official verdict, a ghost head with a cloak appeared behind Mrs. Wan, hanging from her neck.
I'm afraid that this lady Wan will also die soon.
Alas, retribution. Even if you don't report it now, it's just that the time is not right.
