After reading the letter, Zhu Ming looked up and saw everyone's suspicious eyes, and realized that he had been too eager and unseemly just now. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info In order to cover up, he instructed Master Song to read out the contents of the letter:

Ai Son-in-law Renhe:

After my father has finished handling his business, he will return soon, so don't think about it! After being away from home for a few months, the family will be fine? The day after tomorrow is Yue'er's 17th birthday, can I be prepared? This time, I went to Wuling County to handle business, and I accidentally got a warm jade, and I wanted to make a gift for Yue'er's birthday. But don't tell me, because I want to surprise Yue'er.

Father: Dong Mingzheng

The date of this letter is two days before Dong Mingzheng's accident, and everyone is embarrassed to hear it, although this letter is ordinary, it is not difficult to see Dong Mingzheng's love for his daughter. Even if his daughter gets married, she is still the pearl in the palm of his hand. Unexpectedly, he failed to surprise his daughter, and lost his life, and finally even his wife and daughter died one by one. This is also the reason why Gao Hui has kept this letter for so many years. Gao Renhe erased all traces of belonging to the Dong family (although his excuse was that he was sad because he was afraid of seeing things and thinking about people), perhaps this family letter was the only thing that Dong Mingzheng left in this world.

In fact, the changes of the Dong family were known to the whole county at that time, some people felt very miserable and regretted, some people thought that things were very strange, some people thought that the Dong family had done something bad and suffered retribution, and some people thought that all this was done by the enemies of the Dong family. It's not that no one has ever suspected Gao Renhe, but at that time, the Dong family had no descendants to redress their grievances, and the Dong family moved from other places, and the clan was not here.

In ancient times, communication was not developed, information was very backward, coupled with Gao Renhe's intention, Zhu Ming, who was a county magistrate at the time, saw that there was no bitter master, and with some ulterior motives, he also arbitrarily judged the case. In the end, the announcement was posted: This was done by the robbers, and as for what kind of robbers they were, they couldn't find out, but they just sent an unclear document on the sea supplement, and also sent a list of words, saying that if someone provided clues, they would be rewarded with twenty taels of silver. But no one came to unveil the list, and after Mrs. Dong and Miss Dong died, this matter was slowly forgotten by the world, and this tragedy was over.

At this point, Zhu Ming could no longer help Gao Renhe, so he had to ask someone to invite a well-known calligraphy expert in the county, a shopkeeper who made antique calligraphy and paintings, to conduct handwriting appraisal. It turned out that the handwriting on this letter was the same as the handwriting on the letter that Dong Lixin took out. And the handwriting on this letter is indeed very old, and the paper is yellowed, it was written more than ten years ago. Gao Renhe wanted to slander them for colluding and falsifying, but he couldn't succeed.

Dong Lixin's identity was confirmed, and the purpose was halfway achieved, and he breathed a sigh of relief. Gao Renhe, on the contrary, had a heart up and down, stared at Gao Hui fiercely with a pair of eyes, and warned in a low voice: "Gao Hui, take care of your mouth, if you talk nonsense again, you know my methods, think about your son." ”

When Gao Hui heard his warning, not only was he not afraid, but stared at him with a resentful eye: "My son has been ruined by you, there is no good person in your Gao family, you all deserve to die, if God has eyes, you should all go to hell!"

Gao Renhe was stunned, not knowing where his bitter hatred came from: "What happened? Is there some misunderstanding?"

Gao Hui ignored him, but turned his head to face Zhu Ming and said, "My lord, the master and wife of the Dong family died unjustly. Gao Renhe did all this!" This time Gao Hui no longer cares about his identity, but calls Gao Renhe's name.

His words were like a shock, and the crowd of onlookers exploded:

"What, this is really Gao Renhe's doing?" someone asked in disbelief.

"Nine times out of ten, it's true. You think, how can there be such a coincidence, Master Dong was killed by robbers, Mrs. Dong committed suicide, and Miss Dong died in the end. This must be a man-made disaster!"

Some people also raised objections: "But I heard that Master Dong was kind to Gao Renhe at the beginning, and although Gao Renhe was rich, in order to take care of his face, it was not written into the paperwork." And I heard that Miss Dong and Gao Renhe were very affectionate after they got married. I also heard that after the death of Mrs. Dong, Miss Dong fell ill in bed due to grief, and it was Gao Ren who served him without untying his clothes. It's a pity that Miss Dong's heart disease is difficult to treat, so she finally went. At that time, Gao Renhe was very sad and fainted in the mourning hall! Tsk, I didn't believe that Gao Renhe would do such a thing. ”

"You've heard of it, and you haven't seen it with your own eyes. What you don't see with your own eyes isn't necessarily true. Also, don't forget, a large number of family properties left by the Dong family finally fell into the hands of Gao Renhe. Another retorted.

"This ...... Their Dong family is dead, and of course the family property is left to the son-in-law, so ......" this person can't go on.

Gao Renhe listened to these discussions, and his face turned blue for a while and white for a while. Zhu Ming's face was not good, and he slapped the startled wood a few times, shouting "silence" to suppress these buzzing sounds.

"How do you prove that it was Gao Renhe who killed Dong Mingzheng and his wife? Do you know that human life is at stake, and if there is no conclusive evidence, this official will punish you severely. Zhu Ming stared at Gao Hui with a pair of dead fish eyes, with a warning in his eyes. Gao Hui naturally understood why he said this, this dog official was Gao Renhe's backstage, and Gao Renhe dared to be domineering by relying on his power.

But he is not afraid, and now he has something to fear: "On the day Mrs. Dong died, I had something to look for Gao Renhe, and I heard that he went to Mrs. Dong's yard, so I went to look for him." ”

Gao Hui recalled that nightmarish afternoon: when he pushed open the hidden door and walked into Mrs. Dong's courtyard, it was quiet, not a girl was there, he was very surprised, he walked to the door and was about to knock on the door, but heard a cold voice say: "Mother-in-law, where is the key to my father-in-law's lockbox?"

Gao Hui was taken aback, this was the voice of the old man, He quickly paused, and was hesitating whether to knock on the door or leave.

At this time, a weak voice sounded: "What do you want the lockbox key for?" This was Mrs. Dong's voice.

Gao Hui stopped curiously and pricked up his ears to listen.

"What, of course, I want the deed. How can I take over my father-in-law's business without the title deed?" Gao Renhe said with a sneer.

Mrs. Dong looked at this usually gentle and polite son-in-law who suddenly showed his fangs in front of her, and was very uncomfortable: "Renhe, why are you so strange today? Why are you talking to me like this? Is this an attitude towards the elders?"

"Is that weird? That's how I was. I used to pretend in front of you, but now that the old guy is dead, I don't need to pretend. Stop talking nonsense, hand me over the key!" Gao Renhe grabbed her wrist.

"Ahh But because of Dong Mingzheng's bad news, she didn't eat water and rice for a day, so she didn't have the strength to break free at all. In desperation, she lowered her head and bit Gao Renhe's wrist.

"Ahh This slap startled Gao Hui outside the door, his heart beat violently, reason told him that he had to go, but his legs did not obey.

Mrs. Dong was beaten so that the corners of her mouth were bleeding, and one of her cheeks was swollen. She covered her face and stared at Gao Renhe with hatred: "You guy, a beast-hearted guy, if the master hadn't taken you in, your family would have starved to death a long time ago, but I didn't expect you to take revenge! I want Yue'er to divorce you! I want to expose your ugly face to the public and make you ruined!"

Gao Renhe laughed ruefully, like a devil in hell, he stretched out his fingers and grabbed Mrs. Dong's throat: "Grace will take revenge? You still show kindness to me all day long, especially your daughter, who commands me in front of me, this is your kindness to me?"

"Ahem, you...... So why did you ...... in the first place? Promise...... "Mrs. Dong was pinched and breathless, and she shook his hand vigorously.

"Why? Of course it's for your money, do you think I like your precious daughter so much?" Gao Renhe let go and smiled fiercely, "Hurry up and hand over the key, otherwise don't blame me for being rude, and send you to the Yellow Spring to be the companion of that old immortal, so that he will not be lonely underneath!"

"What, you killed you, master?" exclaimed Mrs. Dong. Gao Hui outside the window heard this, and felt that his heart was about to pop out, and he could no longer stand on his feet and collapsed to the ground!

Gao Renhe knew that he was speechless, and he had a trace of regret in his heart, but he thought to himself, anyway, killing one is also killing, and killing two is also killing, so let's send them to make a bunch of them, when I do a good deed.

"Do you want to say it? I can still spare your life, or I'll kill you! Don't think that someone will come to save you, all the girls have been driven away by me. No one dares to come in without my order!" Gao Renhe grabbed Mrs. Dong's throat again.

"Even if you kill me, I don't know, and the master himself hid it, and he didn't tell me. Mrs. Dong struggled.

"You slut! don't you say it, do you?" Gao Renhe was angry, and his beastly nature was furious, and he tore Mrs. Dong's clothes with a "hiss", revealing a snow-white middle coat.

"What do you want to do, I'm your mother-in-law! You beast, let me go! Come on, help!" Mrs. Dong struggled and screamed, Gao Renhe saw that the situation was not good, and quickly took out a handkerchief and stuffed it into her mouth. Then I heard only the tearing of clothes, the "whining" of the mouth, and then the "creaking" of the bed, and the roar of a beast......

Gao Hui outside the window heard that his heart and gall had broken down here, he didn't have the courage to rush in, he only knew that he couldn't stay any longer, and accidentally discovered such a thing, if Gao Renhe knew about it, he would definitely be killed. But his legs were so weak that he couldn't stand up at all, so he used his hands and feet together, and crawled and rolled out of the yard.

When he returned to his house that afternoon, he was so sick that he couldn't get out of bed. Later, he heard his mother-in-law talk about the news of Mrs. Dong's hanging and martyrdom, and he was even more scared.

He thought that Mrs. Dong must have committed suicide in shame, but in fact, after Gao Renhe vented, he was a little scared, but he thought about it so far, and it was useless to be afraid. simply didn't do anything, so he carefully dressed and sorted out Mrs. Dong, and then untied her belt and hung it on the beams of the house, making a scene of hanging herself, and then quietly left. Soon after, deliberately asked the girl to go to Mrs. Dong to say that there was something to discuss, the girl saw that Mrs. Dong had found a short view, and was so frightened that she ran out to tell her loudly, Gao Renhe rushed to hear the news, and made a grief-stricken appearance, saying that her mother-in-law was too infatuated with her father-in-law, so that she committed suicide and martyrdom, and pretended to shed a few tears.

At that time, in order to prevent Dong Yue'er from being suspicious, he also ordered his subordinates to temporarily hide Dong Yue'er, saying that he was afraid that the young lady would not be able to stand the blow and damage her body. Later, Dong Yue'er still knew about it, and fainted with grief, and then Gao Renhe ordered her to get some drugs, and she kept sleeping in bed, and she couldn't even go to the funeral, only Gao Ren and Dai Xiao, everyone couldn't help but praise him for being affectionate and righteous.

When Gao Hui told these things, Gao Ren and Zi interrupted him several times with their faces raised: "My lord, don't listen to him, he has a grudge against me, and he made it all up. ”

Chu Zhao thought he was noisy, and with a flick of his fingers, two wisps of strong wind hit Gao Renhe, so the damn feeling came again, he couldn't speak or move, so he had to listen to Gao Hui talk about how he persecuted and even raped his mother-in-law in a miserable way. A face turned from red to green to blue and finally to black, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

When Chu Zhao made a move, Zhang Hu seemed to feel a little, but he wouldn't interfere.

The crowd of onlookers was boiling, and no matter how Zhu Ming patted the shocking wood, he couldn't stop it.

"In vain, we used to respect him so much, but we didn't expect him to be a beast in human skin. So that those who are inferior to beasts should be immersed in the pig cage!"

"Yes, parade the streets, dip the pig cage!" A sharp and feminine voice sounded, and Xiao Zhuozi shouted happily, our family is back again

At this time, Chu Zhao satisfactorily unlocked his acupoint, he suddenly felt that he could move, stared at Chu Zhao resentfully and fearfully, knelt down and kowtowed to Zhu Ming and said, "My lord, the grass people are wronged, and I ask the adults to be the masters of the grass people." The grass people can swear to the sky that they have never done such a thing, otherwise they will be thundered in the sky. ”

Hearing him swear, some people were shaken, because most of the ancients were superstitious and didn't dare to swear easily, so they thought Gao Renhe was really wronged?

But Lin Lixia and the others were of course unbelievable by Xiao Han's influence: "Who wouldn't swear an oath, if the oath is useful, what else do you want the county commander to do?" Could it be that as long as the prisoner swears, the county magistrate can believe him, and if he can't let him go, how wise the county magistrate is, he will definitely not fall for you!"
