Chapter 52: A look of surprise

"It's really not like this, she's lying, this matter is obviously what she asked me to do, but now she's beating me upside down and letting me take all the responsibility, she's too ruthless, this matter really has nothing to do with me, it's all done by her, I'm the one who was innocent, the one who was wronged."

The prefect was very surprised, he didn't expect that Shen Lian would be able to make Zhang Sheng take the initiative to admit all this in a few words, and he couldn't help but think highly of her.

She is very good at grasping the weakness of the human heart, as if she knows that he will admit it all.

After Zhang Sheng finished speaking, Shen Lian showed a surprised expression.

"Wouldn't it? You said that everything Wang said was a lie, and this matter is not your problem, but her responsibility? Zhang Sheng nodded heavily, "It's true, I have no grievances with the county commander, I naturally wouldn't think of harming him, because my cousin, it was she who said that the two of them couldn't get by, and wanted to be with me, and then planned this matter with me, but all the things were brought up by her, and the child was also killed by herself." ”

Hearing this, Chu Xi raised a question.

"You said the child was killed by the Wang family? But that was her own son, how could he do such a thing? ”

"That's not her own son."

In fact, before the Wang family married the county order, the county order had already married a wife and had children, but after giving birth to the child, the original partner suddenly died of dystocia.

It wasn't until the child was one year old that the county magistrate met the Wang family and married her back, so the child actually had no blood relationship with her, so naturally he would not be soft-hearted.

Moreover, Zhang Sheng also told Chu Xi about them.

In fact, the real purpose of the Wang family is to seize all the family property of the county order, if the county order is really beheaded for murder, then the original houses, silver and the rice hoarded will all become hers.

Although Zhang Sheng told all the bad things that the Wang family had done, and he seemed to be a good person, Shen Lianke did not believe his words so easily.

She stared at Zhang Sheng and asked sharply, "Don't try to quibble now, or justify yourself for anything, only by honestly explaining everything, you can survive, otherwise, no one will be able to help you, you know?" Zhang Sheng nodded busily in response, "I know, I know." ”

"Okay, then tell me what kind of role you play in this matter, don't tell me you haven't done anything."

In the face of such oppressive questioning, Zhang Sheng knew that his only way was to take the initiative to explain everything, and he didn't want to be beheaded like this.

"I did participate, but I didn't kill anyone, I just got some medicines, those medicines are some home remedies, I found someone to buy them, after drinking it, it will make people a little dizzy, and they will sleep for a long time in a daze, even if they wake up, they will be tired, and their brain thinking will be affected for a long time."

Shen Lian lowered his head thoughtfully and began to ponder, it seemed that the county order had indeed been framed after taking the medicine.

And the medicine should also be put in by the Wang family, it should be in the lunch.

Because at that time, the Wang family also said that the county order was eaten by one person, and the others did not eat it.

Now that it can basically be judged like this, Shen Lian whispered to Chu Xi, who was standing next to him, and said in his ear, "Hurry up and take someone to arrest the Wang family, find a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and let Zhang Shenghua confess his guilt, this case should be over almost here." ”

Under the public court, Wang was forced to kneel there, looking resentfully at the prefect sitting on it, as well as Shen Lian and Yin Chen standing next to him.

Just now, she was forcibly taken by several headhunters.

No matter how much she struggled and her words were insulting, they refused to let go of themselves.

After tying it here, she was put on her knees again, which made it unbearable for her.

A lot of ordinary people had gathered outside, all standing there, looking inside curiously, and from time to time the sound of discussion came out.

Seeing this, Wang began to cry.

"Anyway, I'm the county lady, and now I've been forcibly brought here by you for no apparent reason, what are you trying to let me do?" After a pause, she quickly turned her head and began to change the subject again.

"We all know that my lord killed our son, could it be that you want officials to protect each other and let me bear such a charge? O God! Isn't this about letting me die unjustly? As soon as these words came out, many onlookers talked about it.

And Wang's purpose is like this, she didn't expect these ignorant people to be incited so easily, but it saved her a lot of effort.

Chu Xi never expected that this Diao woman would be so scheming, clever and clever, and directly hit a rake, shirking all the responsibility onto them.

Not knowing how to refute for a while, he looked at Shen Lian and motioned for her to speak.

Shen Lian sneered at the Wang family kneeling below, no matter how she quibbled just now, now that the evidence is conclusive, she has no way to deny it.

"We know exactly what things are going on, and if you still want to quibble, you can go to the prison, see your cousin, and ask him what he said."

Wang's face changed instantly, she never thought that they had already caught her cousin.

But she can't admit it anyway, because she knows very well that once she confesses her guilt, what kind of ending awaits her, and she will definitely not be able to escape death.

After kowtowing twice, Wang showed a very aggrieved look.

"My lord, it's really a misunderstanding, I was wronged, my cousin has treated me badly since he was a child, tortured and insulted me in all kinds of ways, I don't know what he did this time to wronged me again, but you must not believe his words, this matter really has nothing to do with me."

"Unrelated?" Chu Xi sneered, and his gaze at her was full of sarcasm.

"What the specific situation is, we already know, you are still putting yourself out of the matter, it is useless, there are some things, your cousin can't do it alone, you need the cooperation of the two of you."

These words made Wang's heart even more flustered, and she knew very well in her heart that if she really had no way to get a clean position, then she would be convicted the same, even if she didn't admit it, it was useless.

But in the face of them, she also knew that no matter how she defended, it was useless, it was better to give it a go, and maybe she would give herself a way out.

If she had a chance to leave here, she would leave here overnight, and by then she would have no idea where she had gone, and even if they wanted to catch her, it would be of little use.

There was no choice but to turn around and kowtow to the people standing at the door for help.

"Please help me, I was really wronged in this matter, I don't know about it, but I don't know why the prefect has always thought that I have something to do with this matter, please help me, please everyone, I really don't want to die, and I don't want to be a scapegoat."

Her remarks just now directly aroused everyone's dissatisfaction.

Although the onlookers were all ordinary people and did not have too many rights, but suddenly the court officials did such a thing, and everyone naturally felt very inappropriate, and they expressed their dissatisfaction in their hearts.

"The case has been handled impartially, how can an innocent person be punished?"

"Yes, I heard about this matter a long time ago, it can't be that the officials and officials protect each other in order to protect the county order, so they arrested his wife and came to take the blame, right?"

"Even if you are an official, you can't take people's lives like this, if there is really no way, we will sue the above directly, and it is estimated that there will be no way for the prefect to be at that time."

…… Listening to what they said, Shen Lian felt very funny, but he didn't expect that at this time, someone would start to use public opinion to defend himself.
