Chapter 625: Schadenfreude
Shuncheonfu Prison.
Mrs. Zhou had just been tortured, her hands had been splinted, blood was dripping, swollen like turnips, and the blood was dripping down on her, staining her clothes blood-red.
As soon as Chen saw her like this, he immediately rushed over crying.
"Guilan, Guilan! How did they beat you so badly! ”
When Zhou Guilan saw her, she subconsciously shrank and moved to the side.
She couldn't bear it anymore and confessed to Chen.
But when she saw Chen at this time, she remembered that this woman, if she was ruthless, it would be much more ruthless than this cell boss!
"You do this to a woman!" Chen roared at Fang Wenzheng, "You are extorting confessions by torture!" What evidence do you have that she was involved in that incident? ”
"Because, we caught her on the spot!" Fang Wenzheng replied lightly, "We used those people we caught as hooks, and asked these hooks to connect with the mastermind behind the scenes, and as a result, she came in disguise!" ”
"After tearing off the disguise, we found out that she was actually the mother-in-law who served closely by Madame's side!"
When Fang Wenzheng said this, he suddenly chuckled again: "Madam, since you are here, then explain it, right?" ”
"My lord, I was wronged!" When Chen heard that Zhou Guilan was actually grabbed by her hand and neck, her heart trembled again.
She immediately suppressed Fang Cai's irritable anger and picked up a handkerchief to wipe away her tears.
"My lord, I was wronged!" She wept and said that she confessed that I was behind it, but I had never done it! ”
"I had some quarrels with Su Zhenzhen before, but how could anyone want to make trouble and spread rumors because of this little thing? also bought so many people to spread rumors together! Our Wei family is not a person who can afford to spend this silver! ”
"Madame mean, Zhou is framing you?" Fang Wenzheng asked.
"Absolutely framed!" Chen said angrily, "This week's family has always been a good gambler, and the monthly money is often gambled!" She came to advance money to me a few days ago, but I refused, and she must have hated me because of this, and wanted to take revenge on me, so she climbed on me indiscriminately! ”
"Heh......" Fang Wenzheng smiled, looked at Wei Jinyan, and said, "Lord Wei, Madam is so clever!" ”
Wei Jinyan kept his face calm and did not speak.
At this time, he also "admired" Chen's ability to open his eyes and tell nonsense.
However, it is not the first time he has seen her this kind of ability, he has seen it many times over the years, and he has long been used to it.
But he has to admit that his wife is really, very "tough".
If an ordinary woman was brought to this cell and saw the bloody Zhou, her legs would have been frightened and weak, and it was not impossible to cry on the spot.
But Chen's face still did not change, and he fought "reasonably".
If he hadn't understood her nature, he would have been confused by her performance......
"Lord Fang, you are wrong!" Chen Zhengse said, "As the old saying goes, reason goes all over the world, and it is difficult to move an inch without reason!" ”
"It's not that I'm sharp-tongued, it's that I'm really wronged!"
"I want to ask your lordship, in addition to Zhou's testimony, do you have any other physical evidence?"
Fang Wenzheng shook his head: "Not for the time being!" ”
"According to the law of this dynasty, the testimony of one person alone cannot be used as the basis for a verdict!" Chen Shi said loudly, "The adults asked me to ask questions, and that's all I can answer to the adults!" ”
Fang Wenzheng said lightly: "Madame is right! It's just that the Zhou family is your personal servant, you are her master, and you have an obligation and are responsible for her, aren't you? ”
"Yes!" Chen nodded, "It's my fault that I didn't take care of this old slave!" My lord, even if I am condemned by this, I have nothing to say! ”
Fang Wenzheng's gaze swept over her, smiled meaningfully, and didn't say anything.
Chen's eyes flashed slightly, and in the next moment, he suddenly turned his head to Zhou, and said sharply: "Are you short of silver flowers, and who has bought you?" I advise you to confess honestly and don't play tricks in front of adults! ”
"Your eyes are like torches, do you think you can deceive him if you lie?"
"If you confess honestly, the adults will correct your mistakes when they read you, and maybe you can get a lenient sentence! Hit you with dozens of boards, and you'll be released! ”
"But if you bite indiscriminately, the adults will be angry, maybe you will be sentenced to ten years or eight years, cut off your tongue, and exile you for thousands of miles, I will see what you do!"
Her words were full of threats.
When Zhou saw her, he was already scared, but when he heard this, he was even more afraid.
However, Chen's words, while making her afraid and afraid, also pointed her a clear way.
The Lord Fang in front of him has no grievances with the Wei Mansion, and there is no enmity in the near future.
But he and that Master Su are mortal enemies, and those eyes are staring at him, trying to grab his handle everywhere.
She was also frightened and confused, so she confessed to Chen.
In fact, she should have pointed out that Su Mingjin's person is the right way!
"My lord, the woman is lying!" Zhou Shi understood, and immediately knelt on the ground, kowtowing like pounding garlic, "The person who instructed the people's women is not the lady of the Wei family!" It's the people of the Su family! ”
"Oh?" Fang Wenzheng raised his eyebrows, "Then why did you lie in the first place?" ”
"The woman has been with her master for many years, and she is not allowed to advance some money to her, and the woman is angry for a while, so she wants to pull her in!" Zhou wept bitterly.
"But now that the woman has awakened, the master doesn't give me money, she doesn't want me to gamble, she is for my good! How could I hurt her with a wolf heart? ”
"I grew up with her, but she treated me like a sister, but I framed her with red mouth and white teeth! I'm not human! ”
"Ah, I see!" Fang Wenzheng looked at the Chen family and smiled: "In this way, I have wronged Mrs. ”
"Adults are also businessmen!" Chen lowered his head and said, "It's this slave who is making trouble, what does the Lord do?" I didn't feel aggrieved when I went on this trip, the adults worked hard to handle the case, and we, the people, should fully cooperate! ”
"Madame is really extraordinary!" Fang Wenzheng smiled, "Thank you Madame for your cooperation!" ”
After he finished speaking, he turned to the Zhou family again, "Who instructed you in the Su Mansion, but there is evidence, if you don't recruit them one by one, don't blame this official for punishing you again!" ”
"It's the ...... of Su Mansion" Zhou's mind was chaotic, she was not familiar with the people of Su Mansion, thought about it, and said, "It's Su Nianjin!" It was she who took the initiative to come to the door, clearly saying that she was looking for Madame, but in fact she was going to buy me! She has been to the Wei Mansion, and the concierge of the Wei family can testify! ”
"Ah, I went to find Madame openly, but in fact, I bought you......" Fang Wenzheng smiled, "Your face is big enough!" This reason is enough! What do you think, ma'am? ”
He suddenly looked at Chen and asked, "Madame knows that Su Nianjin is your future daughter-in-law's enemy, and she still has frequent contacts with her, and the inside story during this period is quite intriguing!" ”
"Oh, by the way, the official also heard that you also went to Qingzhu Lane with Su Nianjin to make trouble, but you accidentally slipped and injured your legs and feet, is there such a thing?"
"When?" Wei Jinyan, who had been silent on the side, exclaimed.
"Don't you know?" Fang Wenzheng smiled, "It should have been two days ago!" Since this mother-in-law confessed to your wife, I asked the official to investigate secretly, and found that Mrs. Zun had a very close relationship with Su Nianjin, and Su Nianjin visited the door several times, and closed the door to talk secretly every time......"
Halfway through his speech, he suddenly turned to Chen again, "Madam, what are you talking about with her?" ”
When Chen heard that he had actually investigated himself, he was already frightened, and he asked him coldly again, his legs were weak, and he almost fell.
But she is also a person who is used to doing bad things, and soon pretended to be okay again, and laughed back: "It's just talking about some women, and it's not good to talk to adults!" ”
"Let's talk about it!" Fang Wenzheng smiled, "Please Madame come here, whatever the official asks, Madame is what he says!" Madame, don't make a mistake, after all, these things have been asked carefully by the official! I didn't just ask the Zhou family in front of my wife! They didn't have a chance to collude, but the testimony was the same! ”
When Chen heard the last sentence, his face immediately turned pale and he was sweating profusely!
Could it be that when she had a secret meeting with Su Nianjin, she was overheard by the people in the house?
And the person surnamed Fang in front of him has already mastered the exact evidence and deliberately came to play tricks on her?
She looked at Fang Wenzheng blankly, her throat was sobbing, her mind was in chaos, and she didn't know how to reply for a while.
Wei Jinyan looked at her like this, his whole body was cold, and his mind was stiff.
This woman, not only did she buy people to slander her future daughter-in-law, but she also joined forces with her daughter-in-law's enemy, and she also went to Qingzhu Lane twice to make trouble!
What did she think in her heart?
"Madame, talk back!" Fang Wenzheng urged.
Chen shivered, and his back sweated like pulp.
What should I do?
Naturally, you can't tell the truth.
Even if he has the evidence, she will never admit it!
Chen took a deep breath and replied in a dumb voice: "I don't know what the adults are talking about, but I and the girl of the Su family are not as close as the adults think!" She took the initiative to visit me! ”
"I think I heard that I intended to withdraw from the marriage, and I was unhappy with Su Zhenzhen, so I was quite gloating, so I ran to me to sell it! You want to borrow my hand to deal with Su Zhenzhen! ”
"But, how can I be a girl and wade into their troubled waters?"
"I rejected her right away......"
"Rejected her, and went to Qingzhu Lane with her?" Fang Wenzheng interrupted her.
"That...... That one...... It's a chance encounter! Chen made up an excuse, "I went to see Erlang, but I met her halfway, she said that she also wanted to go, saying that she and Su Zhenzhen were a family and wanted to reconcile with her......"
"As soon as I thought about it, this was also a good thing, so I took her with me......"
"When and where did you meet? Who was around you at that time? Fang Wenzheng asked quickly.
"That'...... How can you remember? Sweat trickled down Chen's face.
"This must be remembered!" Fang Wenzheng sneered, "If Madam can't remember clearly, then she must be lying!" ”
"I didn't!" Chen waved his hand in a panic, "I really don't!" Really ......"
Fang Wenzheng smiled, suddenly ignored her again, turned his head to look at Zhou, and was about to speak, when a servant walked in behind him, carrying a burden in his hand, and handed it to him.
When Chen saw the burden, his frightened heart suddenly stabilized again.
Fang Wenzheng's gaze swept over her face, and the smile became more meaningful.
But he didn't say anything, just opened the baggage and looked closely.
The bag contained a few silver ingots and a jade bracelet.
"What is this?" He threw the burden in front of Zhou.
"This ...... Isn't this Su Nianjin's jade bracelet? Chen exclaimed, "You were really bought by her!" ”
When Fang Wenzheng heard her words, he laughed again.
Wei Jinyan was already purple at this time, and the green tendons on his forehead were bulging.
This woman, she is really clever to herself!
She thinks that others can't understand, what is she doing?
In front of Shuntian Mansion Yin, she blatantly handed over the code, she was really crazy!
However, why did Fang Wenzheng allow her to hand over the code?
He could have tried these two people separately!
But he didn't, he looked, more like he was ...... To scare Chen, but not really to punish her......
Why did he do it?
