Naturally, the prisoner was brought up by a servant, and the person who brought it up was a woman, who was described as withered, and her eyes were like stagnant water, and she was brought up and knelt there directly, as if it was not a person, but a walking corpse, and her eyes were even more unfocused.

Ruan Ling flipped through the file, she didn't ask who knelt down, there was no need, it was clearly written. The convict's mother's surname is Weng, her husband's surname is Hua, and she is known as Hua Niangzi.

"Hua Weng's family, where did you have a tryst with Liu Erlang?" A hint of blush flashed on Ruan Ling's fair face, who said the word adultery, but she quickly suppressed it, this was not the time to be shy.

"At home."

"Where is the house, what time is it? Where did he come into your house? ”

Hua Weng was shocked, it seemed that he had only come back to his senses at this time, and suddenly raised his head, but the person who caught her eyes surprised her, Ruan Ling was wearing a black black gauze hat on her head, willow eyebrows and phoenix eyes, her face was like a morning glow, her pink lips were gorgeous and innocent, with a green official robe, she was really a clear water hibiscus face, a beautiful young man...... Little lady?

There is no Adam's apple in the neck, and the voice of the previous county magistrate is relatively sharp, she is more used to it, but she didn't expect to change people, and she is still a little lady? Hua Weng's whole person is a little stupid.

"I'm asking you, where are your private meetings at home? What time are they? Where did he come into your house? ”

"Shangguan, the women are wronged, the women are wronged......" The woman couldn't cry.

"You just confessed your guilt, why do you say that you were wronged at this time?"

"They tortured the women, but the women never did such a degrading thing." Hua Weng cried and choked: "If the people don't admit it, they will threaten the women with their three-year-old son, and if they don't recruit them, they will sell the sons of the people's women." ”

"But the magistrate?"

"Exactly."

"Since you said no, why did your father-in-law's concubine Hua Mi report you for adultery with Liu Erlang." I chose this thing for the first time, and it was because it was full of doubts, so I intended to be typical.

"The women of the people abide by the way of women, and it is the Hua Mi clan who really commits adultery with others." At the beginning, Hua Weng didn't understand it at all, sitting at home behind closed doors, disaster came from the sky, and then he was tortured in prison, knowing that it was his father-in-law's concubine who accused him, and remembered that one night he missed his deceased husband and went out for a walk, but saw a black shadow, at that time she thought she was crying, and then finally figured out in prison that it was probably Hua Mi's adulterer/husband, Hua Mi thought that the matter was exposed, so he started first.

"Since you say that she committed adultery, do you have any evidence?"

"There is no evidence for the woman, but she remembers that one night, a dark shadow came out of her yard." Hua Weng is a little decadent, she has no proof.

"Are you thinking about it?" After Ruan Ling finished speaking, she said, "Take Hua Mi's." ”

Since the change of the county order, Hua Mi's family has been unable to sleep night after night, and she will not let her adulterer/husband come to the door, for fear that the new county order will overturn the case, originally she planned to give gifts, but Shao Yunhua scared her back when she recruited people that day, these little ladies are not easy to talk to, and then she was even more worried.

As a result, I was worried about the day and night, and after all, the official came, and the official was very polite and didn't embarrass her, but she had a ghost in her heart, so her face was so bad, and when she arrived in the hall, she knelt down with a puff: "I've seen Shangguan." ”

"Hua Mi's, if you want to accuse Hua Weng's adultery, you tell the scene of the day once."

"Yes." Hua Weng's fixed mind, this is her repeated thinking, to make sure that there is no omission, so at this time it is natural to say that because she misses her deceased husband, that day happened to be the day before the death of her deceased husband, go out at night to breathe, and then she saw a black shadow coming out of Hua Mi's, at first she thought she was dazzled, and then found that the man was walking over the wall, she felt wrong. Later, she kept an eye on Hua Mi and finally determined that she was committing adultery.

"Did you see the man's form for the first time?"

"The women can see it very clearly, and it is precisely because they can see it clearly that they pay extra attention to Liu Erlang."

"This official remembers that your deceased husband died in the second year of junior high school, and you can still see people clearly on the night of the first day of the new year, which is really good eyesight." Ruan Ling's gaze was firmly fixed on Hua Mi's.

Hua Mi's sweat came down in an instant, how can you see people clearly without the moon?

In comparison, Hua Weng's statement of seeing a dark shadow is more reliable.

"Women, Women, Women......"

"This official is asking you, you said that you saw Hua Weng's fornication with someone later, so on what day and where did they have a tryst? Since you paid attention to Liu Erlang, where did he enter the mansion from? ”

"Later, once in the medicine field." Wami was sweating profusely.

"About when."

"About three or four days after that, the courtiers don't remember." Wamishi replied cautiously.

"Shangguan, this is impossible." Hua Weng cried and laughed: "She lied, there were poria cocos in the medicine field of the people's woman's house, and the deceased husband and father-in-law died unexpectedly on the second day of the eighth month, and it was the season of the Poria cocos harvest at that time, so every time it happened, the subordinates of the family would be arranged to build a pergola there to guard the field. And there's a dog there, which is thief-proof. ”

"What do you have to say?" Hua Mi's head was sweating even heavier, and even the clothes on his body were soaked with sweat.

"Min's woman, min's woman, min's woman may be misremembered, Shangguan, Hua Weng's room has men's clothes, shoes and socks, she is a widow, how can she have these things?" Wami's quibble.

"Things are dead, people are alive, catch thieves and dirty, catch traitors and catch doubles, since they are not doubles, then how can they be traitors?" The corners of Ruan Ling's mouth hooked up a sneer: "This official has checked, you bought safflower at home in October, who took this medicine?" ”

Hua Mi's face was instantly pale as paper.

"Take Zhu Da." Three words, Hua Mi's slump to the ground.

When Zhu Da was brought up, he was playing in the gambling house, but he was "invited" out by the officials, and now when he saw Hua Mi's, he still didn't care, and looked at Ruan Ling obsessively, and then knelt down slowly: "The grass people have seen Shangguan." ”

Zhu Da's gaze was very explicit, Ruan Ling was very angry in her heart, but the dogma of everyone's ladies for many years only made her unhappy in her heart, and there was no trace on her face: "This official asked you, where did the gilded plum blossom hairpin you went to the pawnshop last month come from." ”

"My lady's dowry?" What Zhu Da said is called a righteous one.

"Oh?" Ruan Ling sneered: "The official remembers that your lady's maiden name is Li, which is strange, why is there a rice character on the hairpin?" ”

Zhu Da was stunned, this hairpin was a token of love given to him by Hua Mi's, he played for a long time, and he lost too badly last month, so he went to take it, how could there be words? Sneaking a peek at Ruan Ling, he found that the color on her face had not changed at all, and she was beating a drum in her heart, thinking that it might be the other party who was cheating on him, so she bit it and said, "Impossible, there is no word on it." ”

"Bring the shopkeeper of the pawnshop, man, and the gilded plum hairpin, and present it."

The owner of the pawnshop knelt down with his fellow men.

"You know the hairpin."

"I recognize that what the grass people harvested on the twelfth last month was taken by Zhu Da."

"Can you have his signature?"

"Back to Shangguan, Zhu Da is illiterate and can't write his name, so he only draws and puts his handprints." Dude's 1510 answer.

Zhu Da's face began to sweat.

"This hairpin has rice characters on it, right?"

"Exactly, this gilded hairpin is good-looking, because it is dead, so the boss took it to the boss lady, the boss lady was very happy at first, and then angry, saying how there are words on it, we only know." The job explained again: "Because the boss and his wife are displeased, the neighbors around him know about it." ”

"Very good, Zhu Da, what else do you have to say?"

"This is what my lady gave me?"

"This official sees that you don't shed tears when you don't see the coffin, and you bring Lao Tie."

Another gray-haired old man came up.

"You made this hairpin?"

"Back to Shangguan, it was created by the grass people." Lao Tie knelt down and replied.

"Who did you build it for, and when?" Ruan Ling asked again.

"The grass people built it sixteen years ago, it was made for the big man of the Hua family, and it was used as a dowry for the little lady of the rice family, so the hairpin has rice characters on it."

"Good." Ruan Ling asked again: "Zhu Da, what else do you have to say, how did you get this hairpin?" ”

Zhu Da's face was as earth-colored, and then he rolled his eyes, kowtowed, and said, "It was stolen by the grass people." "Adultery is a big crime, and you have to invade the pig cage, but if it is theft, at most you will be beaten with some boards, fined some silver, and locked up for ten days and a half months.

Ruan Ling was almost angry, at this time she was more and more comfortable in trying the case, and she didn't care about Zhu Da's quibbles, and asked directly: "How did you enter the Hua family, how did you get into Hua Mi's room." ”

Zhu Da was stunned, shouldn't he have asked where he found it, and what did he find it? He is very familiar with Hua Mi's room, but this is not difficult for him, he and Hua Mi often cheat/love, the door is very familiar, immediately said: "There is a big tree in the northwest corner of Hua Jia's wall, the branches extend to the outside of the wall, outside the wall is a dead end, I can set up a ladder to go up, down the tree, not far away is a yard, I turned over there." ”

"Hua Mishi, since you lost something, why didn't you report it?" Ruan Ling ignored Zhu Da and asked Hua Mi instead.

"Concubines, concubines, concubines don't know that they lost something?"

"It seems that you don't have a good relationship with your deceased husband." Ruan Ling shook off this coldly, and said, "Who uses the saffron in October?" ”

"The concubine doesn't know."

"I'm afraid you don't know yet, the safflower was bought by Cai Yapo from the doctor You, the medicine of the tiger and wolf, the most hurtful body, now the pulse diagnosis is complete, go to ask the doctor, and bring all the girls in the mansion to check the pulse in the hall." Ruan Ling is full of momentum.

Hua Mishi immediately completely paralyzed on the ground, she knew that since the fetus, her body has been deteriorating, she thought it was a fetus, burning incense every day to pray to God, but it turned out to be the medicine of the tiger and wolf.

In fact, the doctor couldn't come over at all, Cai Yapo had already been brought, and she trembled and confessed to selling fetal pills such as safflower to Hua Mi's.

and found Zhu Da's clothes under Hua Mi's bed, so far, the case has been completely revealed, and Hua Weng's innocence has been returned.

In front of human and material evidence, it was useless for Zhu Da to quibble, so he had to admit the fact of adultery with Hua Mi, but he insisted that it was Hua Mi who seduced/lured him.

How could Ruan Ling care about him? waved his hand and took it down, but when he found that Hua Mishi was taken down, there was a resolute look on his originally pale face, and he didn't seem to be worried about his life?

Ruan Ling hesitated a little, how could this person be like this?
