53, secret trial

Guo Xiuer secretly wiped a cold sweat, and was grateful to Sun Zhangyang and his son. At this time, he covered his face and sobbed: "It's just because I dreamed of my dead husband last night, and I miss it today, so I sent the girl to buy wine and food to pay tribute to the dead." In addition, thinking about the cold weather, the guys in the shop and the uncle worked hard, so that Hua'er could buy more wine for everyone to drive away the cold. How did it become evidence that I seduced him? If I want to have fun drinking with him, please send someone to investigate: see how many pairs of cups and chopsticks are on the table? I bought rouge because my late husband loved the color of the little woman, and I wanted to dress up as usual and put on the dishes that my late husband liked, would it be able to attract him to fall asleep again? It also comforts me for the pain of lovesickness," she said, and she covered her sleeves and wept.

Many women in the crowd who watched the trial were moved by her, and some of them wiped away their tears.

Gu Guangyi immediately ordered the official to go to Fan's house to check how many pairs of cups and chopsticks there were on the table. In order to seek justice, he went with several village elders on the street.

Because the Fan family is not far from the mansion, it didn't take long for a few people who were ordered to check it to turn around and return to their lives: "Tell the eldest lord, the wine and food on the table in Fan Guo's room have not been used, and the small few people can see it very seriously, and there is indeed only one pair of cups on the table." ”

Guo Xiu'er's heart was put down, and she secretly breathed a sigh, only to feel the cold sweat on her back flowing down her spine.

Fan Erlang jumped up when he heard this, and shouted hoarsely: "Impossible! No way! She also let me use the wine! ”

Gu Guangyi was shocked: "Bold!" How dare you roar in court! The facts are there, how can you justify yourself! Fan Erlang, in order to embezzle the family property, the three of you parents and sons did such a heartbreaking thing! **Widowed sister-in-law also slanders that it is widowed sister-in-law who seduces you! You are so reckless and despicable! This official announced the verdict today: Fan Erlang ignores people and disregards, ** widowed sister-in-law, cruel methods, and disobedient according to the law! This official sentenced you to be beheaded, and the autumn queen asked to behead! Mr. and Mrs. Fan Jijia! As elders, how can you be so partial? Fan Erlang is your bloodline, isn't Fan Dalang's son your bloodline? In order to snatch Fan Dalang's family property, you even disregarded your family and people, and designed such a ridiculous scene to catch traitors! I almost threw Fan Guo's innocent life into your hands! This judge sentenced you to exile for six hundred li, and that you should be redeemed because you were old and unreliable. May the people under this rule take the Fan family as a warning, father and son are filial piety, brothers and friends are respectful. ”

Everyone in the hall sighed, sighing that the Fan father and son stole chickens and didn't eat rice, and now they couldn't help but count as a little widow, but lost Fan Erlang's life. Although the old parents of the Fan family have approved the redemption, where will anyone pay to redeem them? The little widow longed for them to die!

Not to mention the three members of the Fan family who were desperately shouting that they were wronged and forcibly dragged down by the officials, and Guo Xiuer, who thanked her with tears. After the crowd gradually dispersed, Sun Zhangyang walked into the back hall and whispered a few words to Gu Guangyi.

Gu Guangyi's face was full of surprise, he unconsciously clenched his hands, and asked Han Li: "Do you really hear it?" ”

Han Oak nodded: "That's exactly what the man said. Uncle Gu, in this way, the cause of Fan Dalang's death is indeed suspicious. ”

Gu Guangyi nodded and said, "Even if this is the case, I have to trouble Brother Runqi to call that Fan Guo again." Since Fan Dalang handed over the family business to her, I don't know if he can hand over the evidence of stealing and selling official grain to her. If so, it is also a strong piece of evidence. ”

Sun Zhang went immediately, and soon caught up with Guo Xiuer, who had not yet arrived at home.

When Guo Xiu'er saw Sun's father and son, she hurriedly thanked her, and said with sadness and shame: "Thanks to my brother-in-law's rescue, otherwise Xiu'er would have been sunk in the pond now!" ”

Sun Zhangyang sighed and said: "You are still young, and it is common to covet the love of men and women, but you have to follow the right path, and when your filial piety expires, it is not too late to remarry seriously." Why do you need to do such a dangerous thing and almost lose your life? ”

Guo Xiuer laughed miserably: "How do I not know that he is unreliable? I had no choice but to leave all the qiē behind just because I liked him, I liked him and he didn't like me to care, but I never thought that they would harbor such wolf ambitions. Thank you brother-in-law for saving Xiu'er's life, Xiu'er will definitely repay her brother-in-law with a grass ring. ”

Sun Zhang Yang said: "There is no need to tie the grass ring, now I need to ask you something." Lord Futai asked me to take you back, and he wanted to ask you something, and you replied. ”

Guo Xiu'er was surprised: "What does Lord Futai need to ask me?" ”

Sun Zhangyang replied vaguely: "In short, it is related to the cause of Fan Dalang's death, you can come with me." ”

Guo Xiu'er lowered her head and said, "If it wasn't for what happened just now, I was relieved." Brother-in-law, how did you recognize Lord Futai? ”

Han Li smiled: "My sister and the elder brother of the Gu family are married, and my father and Uncle Gu are in-laws!" So Aunt Xiu'er, don't be afraid, everyone is a relative. ”

Guo Xiu'er smiled and said, "This is great." It's just that I remember that the child who was stained with clothes was very weak, and the Gu family was an official eunuch, so he might be able to hold it down if he married in the past? ”

Sun Zhangyang said with a smile: "Don't worry about this, Brother Gu and his wife are very fond of clothes, and they can't suffer in his family." ”

Guo Xiu'er let out a sigh, patted her chest and said, "I was frightened by Lord Gu's official authority. It's ridiculous to be scared of clothes. ”

The group came to the mansion, and Guo Xiuer was taken to the back hall. Guo Xiu'er saw Gu Guangyi and bowed down: "Lord Xie saved the little girl's life." ”

Gu Guangyi sneered: "If it weren't for the fact that the Fan family's father and son really had the intention of seeking money and harming others, and sentencing him would not be a loss to them, how could your little trick work?" This official sees that everyone is the old man and will do his best to protect you, otherwise you will be killed for the crime of adultery during your filial piety! ”

Guo Xiu'er trembled, knelt on the ground and cried with her head on the ground: "Please have mercy!" A little woman should not have the wrong idea of coveting the love of a man and a woman, so that she makes a big mistake. I beg the adults to see that the child is still young, and for the sake of not leaving the mother, spare Xiu'er. Xiu'er is willing to sacrifice her family property, just to spare Xiu'er's life. ”

Gu Guangyi sneered: "How could I be greedy for your little bit of family property? If you want to spare your life, be honest, I have something to ask you today, and if you answer well, I will naturally let you go; If you don't tell the truth, you and Fan Erlang will go underground to be mandarin ducks! ”

Guo Xiu'er replied tremblingly: "My lord, please ask, Xiu'er doesn't dare to hide anything." ”

Gu Guangyi stared at her with his eyes and said, "What can Fan Dalang give you before he dies?" Seeing that Guo Xiu'er was at a loss, he said again: "For example, account books, documents, and the like." ”
