Chapter 218 Turning Point

Poisoning and killing people, this matter is a bit big, and Village Chief Li said that he should report to the yamen and let the adults ask. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

In this era, the people do not hold officials accountable, so Village Chief Li's tone is not very tough, his eyes have been looking at Lao Xiucai, and the key is to see the meaning of the head of the family.

Lao Xiucai was silent for a long time, when it came to the second son, the Wang family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law stopped shouting, but stared at Liu Niangzi deadly, this woman couldn't be arrogant anymore, she was on the ground, holding her stomach and shrinking into a ball, trying to shrink her sense of existence.

Shubai and Li Niang sat quietly on the side, but their faces were getting heavier and heavier, and their grandfather had refused to express their position, it seemed that the second uncle had escaped.

Lao Xiucai, who became the target of everyone, really couldn't hide, and sighed leisurely, "Chunfang, you can recruit it, tell me how you seduced the second son to poison and murder the housewife." ”

Li Niang was a little confused, at first she didn't know that this Chunfang was Liu Niangzi's maiden name, and when she saw Liu Niangzi standing up with a miserable smile, she understood, ha, the name is good, people don't deserve to be famous.

Mrs. Liu got up from the ground with difficulty, pulled her clothes, took out a handkerchief and wiped her face, and then said: "What the master means, the slave and maid don't understand, the slave and maid went to the kitchen last night and saw the chicken soup, but the slave and maid did not poison it, Miss Sun was framed at all, and I hope that the master will be the master of the slave and maid." ”

The second uncle moved, and wanted to say something, but when Wang pulled his sleeves, his eyes rolled and he didn't move again.

Mrs. Liu saw the small movements of the mother and son in her eyes, showed disdain, and continued: "Miss Sun's testimony, the slave and maid don't recognize it, the chicken soup, the wife ate it, and now it's fine, and these brought by Miss Sun, who can prove that they are the ones from last night?" The slave thought that Miss Sun had specially brought it to frame people. ”

Li Niang smiled angrily, "As you said, I got this poisonous chicken soup by myself to frame it?" Do you have that much face for me to frame you? How old are you? Will you take possession of my land or will you possess my land? ”

A series of questions made Mrs. Liu's little face a lot whiter, she was shaky, and she looked weak, but she found that none of the people in the room sympathized with her, and she didn't even ask her to sit, so she closed her eyes, gritted her teeth and said: "The slave doesn't know what Miss Sun wants, but the slave and maid resolutely deny this charge of poisoning, even if she goes to the lobby, the slave and maid don't admit it!" ”

Except for the Shubai brothers and sisters, all the Mo family members frowned, this is a bit troublesome, the evidence is insufficient, even if it is sued to the yamen, Liu Niangzi or even Mo Wenrui may be released in court, if they bite back, Li Niang may also fall into the hat of framing.

Shubai stood up and arched his hand to Village Chief Li, "Uncle, since the case is entangled, let's report to the yamen, my family Liniang got a medicine called Tuzhen Elixir, and asked them to drink it when they passed through the hall, ensuring that everything they have done since childhood is undoubtedly revealed, whether it hurts anyone or not, you will know when you ask!" ”

In order to prove that her brother was not lying, Li Niang took out a small jade bottle that had been prepared a long time ago from her purse and shook it in front of everyone.

And when he heard Shubai mention them, instead of just referring to Liu Niangzi, the second uncle also panicked and shouted loudly: "Dad, mother, my son has nothing to do with this matter, I don't want to go to the court, I don't want to go to the court, I am a scholar, I can't go to the court, Dad!" ”

Many yamen have old rules that cannot be said, but if the defendant, whether convicted or not, will beat you a few boards before questioning, and if you don't beat the board, you must take off your coat to beat, if you don't beat the officials, then you may have to strip off and beat your ass, whether the force is light or heavy also depends on the mood of the officials.

This dozen, all the face is gone, can the reputation of the scholar still exist? This is a stain, don't think about taking the imperial examination again next time.

Lao Xiucai hesitated again, Liu Niangzi didn't recruit, and Shubai insisted on suing the yamen, he was counting on his second son to support his old age, and he definitely didn't want him to have an accident, what should I do?

Plopped, Liu Niangzi suddenly fell to the ground, holding her stomach and wailing in pain, rolling on the ground, and bright red blood continued to flow out under her body, which frightened everyone, and the magpie who had been installing the background board screamed: "Slippery tire!" She's slippery! ”

As soon as this sudden incident came out, the interrogation could not continue, and we couldn't watch people do anything, it was not done by people, or Liu Niangzi was really guilty, for the sake of her pregnancy, the yamen had to be sentenced lightly, and the heinous capital crime had to wait for her to give birth to a child before beheading.

Everyone carried Mrs. Liu to the side room, which was the one where the Wang family slept recently, and Lao Xiu was designated, and now he can't wait for Mrs. Liu to never appear, how could she still let her give birth in his house.

Li Niang and Mei Niang were kicked out of the wing room with the men, and Aunt Fu hurriedly ran to invite the village's stable mother Nineteen Niang, and as soon as Nineteen Niang came, Wang's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law also came out, and then everyone went to eat.

Aunt Fu boiled porridge, steamed the white flour cornmeal Erhe noodle steamed buns, fried the small dried fish brought from home, fried four side dishes, all of them were eaten, and Village Chief Li also rubbed a meal.

The meal was eaten standing in the kitchen, and after it was over, Xiao Wang and Mei Niang took some grass and wood ashes, cleaned up the blood stains in the upper room, and everyone moved back to the upper room, but the faint smell of blood always made people unable to concentrate.

Ziyang asked Li Niang: "Sister, is your truth elixir real?" Did your master reward it? ”

Look, look, this kid has a future, and he knows when to cooperate.

Li Niang was happy in her heart, and nodded admitted, "It's my master who rewarded me with a lantern, it is said that the material is precious and difficult to find in the world, just such a small bottle, it costs tens of thousands of taels of silver." ”

Hmph, go up and say that the products of the immortals must be high-quality, and everything has to be said in the tens of thousands.

The second uncle's face was not good-looking, "Just blow it, this scary thing is just a bottle of water." ”

"Second Uncle doesn't believe it? So why don't you try it? Li Niang took out the jade bottle and handed it forward, and the second uncle immediately stepped back.

"Try something! I didn't make a mistake, you don't make fun of the second uncle, you don't care about her Shubai! The fear in the depths of the second uncle's eyes, everyone could see it clearly, Lao Xiucai let out a long sigh, lowered his head and slowly plucked the tea foam, and the others were silent, and the atmosphere in the room was dull and embarrassing for a while.

After a while, Aunt Fu came to tell her that Liu Niangzi gave birth to a son, but unfortunately it was a stillborn child, and she was also bleeding profusely.

God turned around, Li Niang covered her mouth and looked at her brother, and they both understood that the case of poisoning the Wang family was going to become a headless case. (To be continued.) )
