Chapter 355: Don't Say You Don't Know
As soon as they went out, two messengers came over and designated them to a room, and they were not allowed to close the door, and their family of three could talk inside, and the two men stood at the door.
Zuo Li Chang said to Zuo Laocai: "Dad, if you still want to hide it at this time, then you really have to take the board, this is the government, not our village, a board down, even if you can't die, you have to peel off the skin, the Huang family has someone in the yamen, if the person who beats the board is ruthless, maybe you can be crippled!" ”
Zuo Laocai's face was pale, with a frightened expression on his face, and he said: "Actually, I didn't hide anything, but there were some things I didn't care much about at the time, and I can't remember it at this time, let your mother talk about it next to you, add it to me, and see what I forgot?" ”
Aunt Zuo said: "Actually, I haven't forgotten anything, it was originally a very simple matter, and it happened in our family at that time, and no outsiders saw it, even if the official man wanted to find witnesses, what witnesses could he find, wouldn't he just look for people from our own family, and people from our family could not talk to ourselves!" ”
Zuo Lichang was silent for a while, and it seemed to be right, but he still asked Zuo Laocai and Auntie Zuo to tell what happened again, and they must be clear in terms of details, and they can't lie at this time, because they can't do it, but if they can't explain things clearly, then when the time comes, if they decide that Huang Meiyu is his family's victim, wouldn't it be bad!
In the official hall, Huang Caizhu and Huang Damiang were also brought in, and they also began to recount what happened yesterday.
Because his family is the plaintiff, he doesn't have so many concerns when he retells, but when his family describes things, like the people of the Zuo family, they are desperately saying that the other party is not, not that their own family is completely innocent, which makes them very different from what Zuo Laocai said in terms of description.
But one thing is the same, that is, when the rich man Huang left the Zuo family for the first time, Huang Meiyu was still there, and Huang Meiyu did not disappear at that time.
Although Cheng Zizi is not as good as Li Rizhi in the trial of the case, he can also judge it by listening to the description of the matter.
In fact, there was a contradiction between Huang Caizhu and Zuo Laocai's two families before, that is, the question of whether Huang Meiyu could remarry, but this contradiction did not break out, and it was not until today that there was a reason, so it broke out completely.
From the perspective of Huang Meiyu's disappearance, it doesn't necessarily have to be the Zuo family's fault, and it is very likely that Huang Meiyu escaped by herself, fled back to the Huang family, and hid.
Then, the Huang family sued the Zuo family in turn, so that the Zuo family had to be responsible for this matter, and it was very likely that under the persecution of the rich man Huang, they would not want Huang Meiyu, the daughter-in-law, for example, write down the paperwork, return the dowry, etc.
After the matter came to an end, Huang Meiyu was found again, and then picked a new husband according to her own ideas, she is a widow, and she doesn't need to find any young talents with prominent backgrounds, the requirements are not high, plus there is a lot of dowry, it is not a problem to find a middle-aged man who looks passable and can stand up for the house.
As for fame, there can't be any bad reputation, and when the rich man finds her, he will definitely make up a very reasonable excuse.
For example, Huang Meiyu was abused by her in-laws, so she secretly ran to live with the nuns in the nunnery for a while, so everyone didn't find her.
Then Huang Meiyu was disheartened and wanted to become a nun, at this time, someone from the Huang family went to the nunnery to offer incense, and when she saw Huang Meiyu who was about to be shaved, her relatives recognized each other, and they were all happy, and she didn't need to leave home, go home and take the dowry to find a middle-aged man!
What a big thing, what a reason to find, a reason like this, not to mention the Huang family, even if it is Cheng Zizi, he can make up seven or eight now, which is not a matter at all.
Something like listening to a confession should not be heard in a one-sided way, but should be heard in a comprehensive manner.
After listening to the confessions of Huang Caizhu and Huang Damiang, Cheng Zizi asked the two of them to sign and draw the pledge, which can be regarded as the plaintiff's pleadings.
Huang Caizhu and Huang Damiang did not hesitate at all, the two of them directly pressed their handprints, just from this point of view, they are much happier than the people of the Zuo family, and it will also give the officials who tried the case a feeling that the people of the Zuo family are lying.
After asking Huang Caizhu, Cheng Zizi went to eat, and while he was eating, he asked Huang Wu to immediately send someone to Xiaozuo Village to bring back some villagers, as well as the long-term workers of the Zuo family, and the people of the Zuo family should also be brought, and these people should be recorded as witnesses.
Of course, the Huang family's long-term workers also have to come over, because when Huang Caizhu and Huang Damiang went to Zuo's house yesterday, they also took long-term workers with them, so they also need witnesses from the Huang family.
After Cheng Zizai had eaten, he first asked the chief worker of the Huang family, and after asking, the chief worker and the villagers of the Zuo family were also brought in, and he just continued to ask.
It's not troublesome to ask these people, because the matter has nothing to do with these people themselves, even if it is a long-term worker, there is no need to help the owner, after all, the long-term worker and the owner are only hired relationships, and not slaves, if the long-term worker dares to make false testimony, it will also be punished, and the long-term workers know in their hearts that no one will be stupid!
After these people finished asking, Cheng Zizai finally called Zuo Laocai and Auntie Zuo in, and then asked again.
Zuo Laocai and Auntie Zuo added some more, but they were still inconsequential aspects, about how they locked Huang Meiyu in the house, and how Huang Meiyu resisted, they didn't mention it.
It seems that as soon as they shut down Huang Meiyu, Huang Meiyu was obedient and obedient, completely an angry little daughter-in-law, and she didn't dare to resist her father-in-law and mother-in-law at all.
After they finished their words this time, Cheng Zizi asked them to sign and draw a pledge, but Zuo Laocai and Auntie Zuo did not hesitate any longer, and directly drew a pledge on the confession.
Cheng Zizai took the confession, read it, and then said: "You said that Huang Meiyu is an unfilial daughter-in-law, when the rich man Huang came, she dared to do something with you, the official was thinking, such a fierce woman, when you locked her up, she was easily locked up by you, as if driving sheep into the pen, this is really strange!" ”
Zuo Laocai and Auntie Zuo heard this, and the two of them almost fainted together, what kind of reaction Huang Meiyu had at that time, how could they not know, they just deliberately didn't mention it, but they didn't expect that the official suddenly raised a question, this is not fatal, they just drew a charge on the confession just now, and it was already written in black and white.
Zuo Laocai hurriedly said: "The villain forgot just now, the villain will say it now!" ”
Cheng Zizi waved his hand and said, "It's too late now, come here, take the people of the Zuo family!" ”
Huang Wu immediately brought a person in from outside, a child, this child is Zuo Laocai's grandson, when yesterday's incident happened, this child was in the Zuo family, there are some things, this little grandson of the Zuo family may not be able to see, but he can definitely hear it.
