Chapter 318: The jade is unyielding
The Mu family's faces became more and more ugly. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Mu Dongheng's expression was gloomy, and his cold eyes fell on Mama Hu like substance.
Everyone could see that Mu Dongheng was extremely angry.
In addition to the weirdness on everyone's faces, then there was unpredictability.
Fight mosquitoes and make your own hands like this?
Isn't this talking nonsense with your eyes open?
No one is stupid.
The hearts of the people quickly began to think.
There are only two possibilities.
First, it was the Mu family who used lynching, and Mama Hu didn't dare to identify it directly, so she talked so nonsense.
In addition to the previous possibility, there is also a possibility that Mama Hu crippled her own hands......
But why does an old woman in her last years treat her own hands so miserably?
Ten fingers to heart.
Just by looking at the terrible scene now, you can imagine what a pain it was!
How much endurance does it take to do this......
Huixin, who was standing beside Mama Hu, looked at Mama Hu, and tears fell silently.
And the elders on the left side of the hall looked at the Mu family again, and their eyes suddenly became meaningless.
"Mama-"
Mu Qing suddenly called out in a trembling voice.
His voice was low and trembling, full of pain.
Mama Hu turned around and faced Mu Qing this time.
"Changsheng, do you remember what you said to your grandmother on your fifth birthday?" Mama Hu said softly, "That night, the moon was big and round...... Remember?"
Five-year-old birthday?
Mu Qing was stunned for a moment, a memory appeared in his mind, and he muttered in a low voice: "Mama said that my mother slept and couldn't accompany Changsheng for her birthday, I said-"
"Just remember. Immortal, Mama is going to be sorry for you, ...... in the future Let's do it well. ”
Mama Hu smiled at Mu Qing with a sigh.
After saying this, Mama Hu turned her head and asked Wang Chengshou: "Although the prisoner can't draw the detention, but there is still someone to draw the case to close the case, I wonder if the convict can say a few words to Huixin?"
Wang Chengshou groaned when he heard this, but did not immediately express his position.
"Lord Castle Keeper rest assured, the prisoner is just persuading, and the matter should be settled. Mama Hu's voice was weak, and she shook a few times while standing, as if she was tired and weak to the extreme, Mama Hu looked at the old men on the left side with white beards, "These old people have also been sitting here ......for a long time."
Wang Chengshou looked at Mama Hu's weak appearance that was almost unstable, and finally nodded: "Yes." ”
Mama Hu turned her head to look at Huixin, who was only a foot away from her side.
Hui Xin has been kneeling in the hall, and at this time, she also raised a beautiful face with teary eyes, and looked at Mama Hu: "Mama......"
With a soft call, tears rolled down.
"Huixin...... Mama is going to be sorry for you. ”
Mama Hu showed a loving smile.
Hui Xin bit her lip and shook her head with tears: "Don't blame Mama, if it weren't for Mama, Hui Xin wouldn't have survived, no matter what, Hui Xin wouldn't be blamed." ”
"Good, good, good—"
Mama Hu smiled and nodded, as if she was ready to get to the point.
Hearing the conversation between the two, Wang Chengshou's heart gradually fell, and he turned around and made a gesture to the clerk, intending to let him go back to take notes.
As soon as his hand was raised, he heard several exclamations!
"Mama-"
Mu Qing screamed sadly!
Before he could turn around, a figure had already swept past him like a sharp arrow with strength, and the next moment, another tall figure violently pushed him away and rushed towards the first figure!
But it's too late!
only heard a loud "boom", and at this moment, Wang Chengshou even felt that even the entire public hall seemed to tremble with a bang.
Countless dust fell from the long-sealed beams.
For a while, the tip of his nose was full of the smell of decay and dust.
The difference between the riches!
Mu Qing's eyes were split!
Mu Qing even felt the corners of Mama Hu's clothes rubbing the tips of her fingers.
But it was still too late.
In the tragedy of blood splashing, Mu Qing only had time to catch Mama Hu's body that slid instantly.
Mama Hu deliberately chose the pillar behind Wang Chengshou, so that Wang Chengshou was standing in a position just right to block Mu Qing.
Mama Hu has made up her mind to die.
Wang Chengshou looked down at the blood splattered on his official uniform, and his face was a little pale.
The pillar was behind him, and at this time, except for Mu Qing, he had the most blood on his body.
Wang Chengshou couldn't get back to his senses for a moment.
This old woman heard that she hadn't eaten for a few days, and she was a little unstable even standing up, where did she get such great strength?
Mama Hu was lying in Mu Qing's arms, unable to speak, her lips were still moving slightly, and a large area of blood covered her face, and it also soaked Mu Qing's placket.
"Immortality...... Remember ......"
I couldn't hear the sound at all, and only vaguely made out the four characters.
Mu Qing's heart was broken, his eyes were red and he didn't dare to exert his strength, the whole person was trembling violently, his lips trembled especially violently, he wanted to speak, he wanted to call Mama Hu, but his throat was tight and painful, and he couldn't make a sound.
is also like Mama Hu, her white lips can't help but tremble.
The old man was so frightened that he almost didn't sit down, and his face was a little pale.
Mama Hu rushed over to the seat of the oldest old man.
Mu Dongheng stood up "bluffing", his face was pale, and the anger in his eyes was almost soaring!
This slut!
He was put on a show like this!
No wonder he made that oath last night...... It's really slippery and hateful!
Mu Dongheng was furious.
Mama Hu's lips stopped moving slightly, and a pair of old eyes opened wide in the blood, as if they had passed through the roof, looking at the unknown end of the sky above.
The two officials walked to Mu Qing's side and wanted to reach out to pull Mama's body, Mu Qing raised his head and said sharply: "Get out, who allowed you and my mama!"
Mu Qing stood up with Mama Hu in his arms, and said in a low voice: "You are not allowed to touch Mama, you are not allowed...... Don't ......"
Yili was handsome, her face was snow-white, but her eyes were red.
The whole person is like a beast that will go crazy the next moment when it is provoked, and his expression is extremely terrifying.
Seeing that Mu Qing was about to walk out with someone in his arms, Wang Chengshou spoke.
"Stop!"
Mu Qing paused, and the next moment he slowly turned around, his expression was already cold: "What are you going to do?"
Wang Chengshou was stunned by Mu Qing's cold gaze: "The case is still being heard, and it has not yet been concluded-"
Before the word "case" could be spoken, an exclamation came again.
"This one also killed himself!"
Wang Chengshou turned his head suddenly, only to see Hui Xin, who was kneeling in the hall earlier, lying softly sideways in place, sticking to the half-exposed cheek of the ground, blood snaking out of his mouth.
In the chaos, I don't know when, Huixin has bitten her tongue and committed suicide.
Wang Chengshou was stunned again, his mouth half open, unable to speak.
Both of the main perpetrators committed suicide in court......
Wang Chengshou panicked in his heart.
This is completely inconsistent with what Mu Dongheng said to him.
It's not that he should be tried by example, it's just a formality.
But now...... What's going on!
Mu Qing was also stunned for a moment, and unconsciously took two steps towards Huixin.
"The person committed suicide in fear of the crime, but the earlier confession is still there, and the person confessed in court, and there are other witnesses-" Mu Dongheng stepped out in a tiger's voice, his voice deep and threatening, "Isn't it enough to judge?"
With Mu Dongheng's pace and voice, both inside and outside the public hall were eerily quiet.
Everyone's eyes were on Mu Dongheng.
Since entering the court, this is Mu Dongheng's first voice.
Wang Chengshou's eyes rolled, and he didn't answer immediately, only made a thoughtful gesture.
"This - the prisoner is dead...... What does the general think?"
Wang Chengshou pondered for a long time and asked.
"These two people committed the crime of betraying the lord and bullying the master, harming my Mu clan and the royal family in the front, and stealing the beams and changing the pillars and mixing the eyes and pearls in the back, the crime is extremely heinous, this time the person knows that the crime cannot be punished, so he committed suicide in fear of the crime. But my Mu family has been deceived for 20 years, and this revenge must not stop here! Although the criminal Huixin is dead, but his son is still alive, please handle it impartially and put Mu Qing under the name of my Mu family. Mu Dongheng's expression was deep, "As for these two minions who are complicit in rebelling against the lord and bullying the master, they should be punished with a hundred lashes as a rule, so as to set an example and uphold the people's customs!"
Mu Dongheng's voice was extremely heavy, and the last sentence slowed down his voice, and the words were clear!
There was an uproar inside and outside the court!
A hundred lashes?
This is to ...... Whipping corpses?
Several elders frowned and looked at each other, all showing some hesitation.
Indeed, there is a precedent for this in the Law.
If a prisoner is sentenced to death and commits suicide in fear of punishment, if the crime is truly heinous, there is indeed a public whipping to warn the people.
But this is the case...... There seems to be subtlety in it.
It is difficult to make a decision for a while.
Even these elders who are familiar with the classics are difficult to decide, let alone Wang Chengshou, the "biggest responsible person" on the surface.
Although he is the lord of a city, he is only a good person, and his official position is rising step by step, and he naturally has power and face than ordinary good people, but when it comes to it, Wang Chengshou knows better than anyone else in his heart.
These officials, in the eyes of these sergeant clans, especially these veteran families, are just a tool that makes it easy or not.
The children of those big families are not unable to be officials, but they disdain to be trapped in these tedious and lowly affairs all day long.
When there is really a big thing, it is not he who is in charge.
This time the matter of the General's Mansion, he just saw that Mu Dongheng had already gone to the heavens to listen, and there was also an edict from above, asking him to handle it impartially according to the procedures, and then hand it over to the royal capital.
Before today, Wang Chengshou had always thought that this matter should be easy to entrust.
Anyway, after he has collected human and physical evidence, collected confessions, and waited for the prisoner to sign and draw the prisoner, he can complete the task.
No matter how much the inside story turns here, he can't be found.
Wang Chengshou knew it.
This case involves the royal bloodline, especially the only bloodline of the Queen Mother, and it is impossible to conclude that he is final.
In the end, if there is a repetition, he will be a "negligence" at most.
No one in the officialdom knows, but when it comes to cases related to the Shang clan, civil officials like them actually don't have much right to take charge.
The affairs of the sergeant clan are free for the sergeant clan to decide.
It's just going through the motions.
But today's cutscene is obviously "going bigger......
The royal city guards the words of suffering.
I can't stop crying in my heart, but I still have to hold on to my face.
