Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Second Judgment
Two hours later, under the maneuvering of Sun Mutou and Hu Liang, Qing'er and Gongsun finally walked into the women's prison again and met Guo's mother and Yun Niang.
Qing'er only glanced at it, then turned her head and didn't dare to look again, biting her cuffs and crying all over.
Even Gongsun felt shocked when he saw that scene, it was really ...... It's miserable!
I couldn't see it in the dark, I saw Yun Niang and Guo's mother lying in a blood wave, Gongsun hurriedly stepped forward to investigate, the hands, arms, and cuffs of the two were full of blood, and the hands were already bloody and blurry, I don't know if it was scrapped.
Especially Yun Niang, her face was as white as a layer of paper, and there was no blood at all, but her body was stained with blood, and her skin was open......
People have already made up like this, but they don't even ask for a doctor, and they don't have any medicine...... Gongsun couldn't help but be full of indignation, and his hands trembled with anger.
He grew up in the public family since he was a child, and he has seen a lot, but if it weren't for the fact that Jiang Yang's thieves killed countless people, or the great public anger such as disobedience and murder of his father and mother, why would this be so?
What great perverse crime did the two women commit to be punished so severely?
Gongsun shook his head slightly, and he didn't care about any male and female problems, and carefully checked the two of them, Guo's mother's injury was not serious, but Yun Niang......
Gongsun couldn't help frowning slightly, her injury was very strange.
The whiplash wound on the body was extremely serious, but it did not hurt the muscles and bones, and what is even more incredible is that the torture did not break a single finger bone, which is simply a miracle!
Seeing that both of them were flesh wounds, Gongsun had a bottom in his heart, and beckoned Aunt Li and Qing'er to help, and after a while, the wounds of the two were cleaned up, and he left a lot of trauma medicine for Aunt Li.
Qing'er looked at all this, feeling that it was all a catastrophe caused by herself, and she was deeply ashamed that she had no face to speak at all.
When everything was settled, Gongsun asked Guo's mother about the situation during the retrial, and Guo's mother answered the question with her spirit, and smiled at Qing'er:
"It's all to blame for not telling Yun Niang in advance, she's the hard temper! and the death of an official, what good fruit can be eaten? It's not worth it! Qing'er rest assured, after this time, she will be enlightened next time. Don't feel bad......"
Qing'er didn't listen to Guo's mother finish speaking, she suddenly turned her head and ran out, stumbling into a small alley, and couldn't help crying anymore. She buried her head in her arms, and repeated only one sentence in the same vow:
"There's no next time! There is no next time! There is no next time! ……”
I don't know how long I cried, until I cried out of tears, Qing'er wiped her face and squatted in the shade of the tree to wait for her grandson to come out. She knew that there were too many questions to ask, but she didn't have the face to stay any longer, Guo Ma and Yun Niang were all harmed by her!
She actually believes in the government like an idiot!
After a while, Gongsun walked over quickly from afar, and Qing'er hurriedly stepped forward to ask carefully.
Gongsun's face turned blue, and he relayed the situation in the hall angrily. It turned out that it was not only Yun Niang and Guo's mother who were punished, but even Dr. Xiao was slapped in the mouth!
Dr. Xiao didn't say a word after he went to court, he came up first and was slapped ten times on the lips, accused of perjury! was so frightened that he retracted his confession in court and identified Yan Yuanwai as being poisoned. Guo's mother also pleaded guilty as soon as she was punished. Only Yun Niang did not confess to death, and she was punished the most severely.
After speaking, Gongsun took a long breath and sighed:
"I grew up in the public gate when I was a child, and today is an eye-opener! Young girl, I am willing to go to Xijing with you to complain, such an official must be brought to justice, otherwise the people of Liangzhou will be too bitter! ”
Qing'er listened to Gongsun's words but didn't react, her heart was like ashes, where did she dare to believe the government?
Besides, the body of Yun Niang and Guo's mother. couldn't survive Xijing's torture. After all, even Gongsun said that it was "normal" for Yue Ya to sue and be beaten.
Even if you can fight for your life, what about the witness? Will Dr. Xiao still agree to go to Xijing to testify? Even if Xijing summoned him to court and had to go, he couldn't be prepared not to retract his confession like today!
Speaking of which. Qing'er thought that she still owed Xiao Niangzi an apology. She didn't have the face to go alone, so she insisted on her grandson to accompany her to visit Dr. Xiao.
Qing'er didn't have the face to see Mrs. Xiao, but Gongsun was a man and it was inconvenient for her to come forward, so she had to be cheeky and knock on the door of Xiao's house.
After knocking for a long time, no one answered, but Qing'er was a little disappointed, and she suddenly wanted to see Xiao Niangzi again. Even if she beats or scolds her, she may feel more comfortable.
But I'm not at home!
Qing'er let out a long sigh, turned around listlessly and walked back, but was stopped by Gongsun, she looked at Gongsun suspiciously, followed his eyes, and was facing Xiao Niangzi.
She didn't react for a moment, and stammered, "I...... I'm sorry Dr. Xiao...... Those who are in charge are unreasonable! I mean...... I was wrong, I apologize to you! ”
I only heard Xiao Niangzi ask coldly: "What's wrong with you?" ”
Qing'er raised her head to meet her resentful gaze, gritted her teeth and said:
"I really didn't expect the dumb official to be so unreasonable, and beat people without saying anything...... Anyway, it's all my fault to say a thousand things and ten thousand, I shouldn't have pulled Dr. Xiao into the water! Now I'm standing here, beating or scolding at your disposal! ”
"It's not you who should be beaten, it's the outsider! Alas, I didn't expect him to be so weak that he would wronged a good person in court! It's us who are sorry for you! I've already scolded him, I wonder if there is room for reversal in this case? If only he could go to church again, he would tell the truth! ”
Qing'er was stunned when she heard this, and she couldn't say a word in a daze.
However, Gongsun said softly on the side: "We are going to Xijing Yue Ya to complain, and then I am afraid that we will have to ask Dr. Xiao to preside over justice." But Mrs. Xiao, please rest assured, Lord Xijing Mujiang is known as a virtuous person, and there will be no such thing as today. ”
When Mrs. Xiao heard this, she asked them to wait a while, turned around and went back to the house, and after a while, she took out two pages and handed them to Qing'er, and said:
"This is a copy of the medical case written by my grandson after he went to the clinic that night, and you may need it when you go to Xijing to complain. If it is really done, my grandson will definitely go to Xijing to testify for you. My husband and wife really want to have another chance to change, otherwise it will be really difficult to feel at ease. ”
Qing'er suddenly rushed forward, hugged Xiao Niangzi and cried: "Thank you, thank you......"
Xiao Niangzi knew that she was a woman and did not shy away from it, so she put her arm around her and persuaded: "I don't believe that there is no reason in the world!" Although my grandson is timid, he is an upright man, and he will definitely help you to the end. ”
The two of them left the Xiao family with a thousand thanks, and Qing'er's mood was much more comfortable.
But thinking that in this hierarchical society, the Yue Ya complaint is a crime committed below, and it is necessary to be punished. Guo's mother is old, and Yun Niang's body is so weak, if today's situation occurs again......
Qing'er suddenly remembered Ti Ying in the twenty-four filial piety, looked at Gongsun with bright eyes and asked:
"The filial daughter Tiying can be punished for her father, if I recognize my mother as my godmother, can I be beaten for her? Anyway, I'm strong, I'm not afraid! ”
The more Qing'er thinks about it, the more she feels that this matter works, didn't the ancient times talk about "legal principles are not human"?! Under her repeated urging, Gongsun said hesitantly:
"Punishment on behalf of one's relatives is not just about being beaten, but about even being punished. That is to say, if the original verdict is upheld in the case, you will have to serve the death penalty on behalf of Guo's mother! I can understand how you want to help her, but it doesn't work.
