Chapter 170: Confession
The old lady Liu was shouting vigorously, and Lei Zhen, a half-grown boy, scolded her voice without pause, and was still crying there and grabbing the ground.
At this moment, a middle-aged man who came in with the Liu family stood up, looked at the two brothers of the Lei family, and said, "We are from the Liu family, this is my mother, and I am also the sister-in-law of Mrs. Lei." ”
I thought that the two brothers of the Lei family would come up to call him uncle, but I didn't want Lei Zhen to look at them suspiciously, but Uncle Lei Ting frowned and thought about it before he said lightly: "A few years ago, I sent someone back to inquire, and there is no one left in the Liu family's great-grandmother's branch. ”
The middle-aged man hadn't said anything, but the old woman who was crying turned her head and glared at her, "Who said that there is no one in the Liu family!" I am the daughter of the Liu family who married out, and now my second son has followed my surname Liu, and kowtowed in front of the ancestral tablet of the Liu family, and he will inherit the incense of the Liu family in the future. ”
Thunder looked at them, his frown still not relaxed, obviously not believing their words.
At this time, the middle-aged woman who had been supporting Mrs. Liu and looked very powerful said loudly: "Mother, don't tell them that you have these things. We are not here to recognize relatives, but to support our aunt. Her old man died in vain, didn't the Lei family just bully our Liu family? Today, we just want them to see if there is no one in our Liu family! Killing pays for life, my aunt can't die in vain! ”
As soon as the woman's words were spoken, there was an uproar among the people around her.
Although there are a lot of rumors about the cause of Mrs. Lei's death. However, from the mouth of the foreign family who is said to be Mrs. Lei, it is different.
Someone said up: "This lady, you can't talk nonsense, do you have any evidence?" ”
The woman did not frighten herself when she heard this, but became more and more conclusive: "Isn't it easy to ask for evidence? Our Liu family is already planning to report to the official, and when the time comes, let the official send someone to check my aunt's body, what else do you not understand? ”
As soon as these words came out, there was another uproar.
Lei Zhen said angrily: "No! My grandmother is gone. She should be buried in the earth, how can you do this to her? ”
The middle-aged woman sneered and competed against each other: "Let's practice? I'm afraid that your Lei family is a thief, right? ”
At this time, the audience was already in chaos, and the onlookers changed from the previous whispers to righteous and bright discussions. Some people say that the blood of the Liu family spewed out of nowhere, and people don't know what kind of heart they have, and some people say that there is really something wrong with the Lei family, maybe Mrs. Lei's sudden death is really inseparable from the people of the Lei family, and some people stand on the side and watch the excitement and do not speak indiscriminately.
In this way, the whole mourning hall was lively.
Seeing that the scene was about to be chaotic, Lei Ting raised his hand and waved to signal everyone to be quiet, although he was young, but when he had a straight face, he really had the power of the Lei family, and everyone also wanted to know what Lu Dao Thunder wanted to say at this time, so the scene was really quiet.
"You want to report to the police?"
There was silence in the field. Everyone looked at the people of the Liu family.
The Liu family came to a total of more than a dozen people this time, including men and women, old and young. But everyone understands that the protagonist should be Mrs. Liu, who is said to be Mrs. Lei's sister, and the middle-aged man and middle-aged woman who spoke.
As soon as Mrs. Liu came in, she only cared about crying, presumably not very well, after saying a few words before, she was crooked there a little panting, and she had been relying on another woman to support her. The middle-aged man and the middle-aged woman who spoke should be her son's daughter-in-law.
Thunder asked, and it was a middle-aged man who came out to answer him: "That's right, we want to report to the official!" Sue your Lei family for forcing my aunt to death. Before our family arrived, they wanted to bury them. It's good to destroy the corpse. Fortunately, God has eyes, and I heard that the mountain road collapsed and the road was blocked. ”
Lei Zhen was about to say something, but was stopped by Lei Ting reaching out. He said coldly: "In what capacity do you want to report to the official?" ”
The middle-aged man sneered: "Of course, it's Mrs. Lei's mother's family." Didn't I say that my mother was Mrs. Lei's own sister-in-law. ”
Lei Ting was unmoved: "I'm sorry, since the Lei family came to Yanbei, there have been more people who have come to recognize their relatives." I haven't seen you. ”
The middle-aged man was not in a hurry when he heard this. As if anticipating that their identities would be suspected, he snorted lightly and took out a piece of paper from his sleeve pocket. Shi Shiran handed it to Lei Ting: "I see it clearly, this is the letter of the head of the Liu family, which clearly states what our identity is, and it is also stamped with the seal of the clan and the private seals of several old uncles of the Liu family." We are the people of the Liu family, Mrs. Liu is my sixth aunt, if you have any questions, just go back to the clan and ask clearly. Just don't blame others for laughing at you when the time comes. ”
Liu Gui, the steward behind Lei Ting, hurriedly stepped forward and took the paper from the middle-aged man's hand, unfolded it and handed it to Lei Ting, Lei Ting's face finally looked better after taking a closer look: "It turns out that it is really from the Liu family." ”
The people from the Liu family suddenly straightened their waists.
Although the Liu family was the leading family in Jiangnan a few decades ago, after all, it has been in decline for a long time, and most of the Liu family members who are still there are not involved in the distant branches back then, and the family's temperament has long been worn out.
Thunder glanced somewhere in the crowd and secretly gave his own people a look.
Then I heard someone say: "Yo, why is there someone from the Liu family who has come to recognize his relatives?" Didn't someone ruin the origin of this Mrs. Lei before? It is said that Mrs. Lei is not a descendant of the Liu family, but just a partial concubine. Someone, Mrs. Lei is just an orphan girl who defected to the Liu family and came from an unknown source. Some people even say that this Mrs. Lei is a fake person at all, and even the two masters of the Lei family are wild seeds of unknown origin. ”
Although this person seemed to be discussing with others, his voice was really not small, and many people present heard it.
Lei Zhen trembled with anger, and was about to order someone to drive out those who were talking nonsense again. Lei Ting's face was unmoved, as if he only heard someone fart in public, but he was always paying attention to the movements of the Liu family.
Therefore, he did not ignore the middle-aged man and the middle-aged woman who looked at each other at this time.
In fact, at this time, both husband and wife were thinking about what they heard before entering the Lei family.
They had set out from their hometown before Mrs. Ray died, and the man had given them an order to reveal Mrs. Lei's identity.
