Wei Tingkui glanced at the screen and said, "Let me think about this matter, you go back first!" ”

"Then there is the county master of Lao!" Pudongsheng stepped back with a smile on his face.

Wang Huizu walked out from behind the screen, took the exquisite jade cup on the case, and said, "The adults don't really want him to withdraw the case, right?" ”

"You also heard it, his son is sick, and he reported the case indiscriminately, if he wants to withdraw the case, let him withdraw it, anyway, there is no loss to us." Wei Tingkui said lightly.

"My lord, don't let the small be a big one!" Wang Huizu reminded.

"How?" Wei Tingkui was puzzled.

"Now that the boss is sending people everywhere to investigate the phenomenon of bribery, is it worth losing his official position for such a small thing?" Wang Huizu said.

"That's it, isn't it?" Wei Tingkui said with a smile.

"That's not easy to say, I don't think this person has good intentions." Wang Huizu said.

"How so?" Wei Tingkui asked.

"My lord, what is engraved on this cup?" Wang Huizu sent the exquisite jade cup to Wei Tingkui.

"It's a rising sun! The rising sun, the east rises, the Pudong rises. I didn't expect this person to be quite attentive, he was wishing me to rise as soon as possible. Wei Tingkui praised from the bottom of his heart.

"I'm afraid it's not as simple as it seems."

"Oh?"

"What are you going to do with this cup?" Wang Huizu asked again.

"Of course, the wine glass is for drinking." Wei Tingkui said.

"That's right, this glass is full of wine when you drink, can the sun still rise?" Wang Huizu said with a serious expression.

"So it seems that he really has bad intentions!" Wei Tingkui exclaimed.

"That's one of them. Second, the defendant has already pleaded guilty, if it is withdrawn so quietly, what will the people say? What will the boss think? I'm afraid that when the time comes, the wisdom of adults will be compromised for such a dispensable thing, and the gains will outweigh the losses! ”

"What should the official do now?" Wei Tingkui was uncomfortable with Wang Huizu's words, and hurriedly sought a way to deal with it.

"If you want to withdraw the case, you must first ask the defendant, and if the defendant agrees, then make another plan. Go to court, what do you say......" Wang Huizu whispered a few words in the ear of the county official.

Wei Tingkui clapped his hands and said, "Okay, according to what the master said, ascend to the hall!" ”

With an order, the two masters and the six rooms and three classes of officials were in place.

"Might--Force--"

The common people in the light rain waited eagerly to see how the adulterer and adulteress, who had died so coolly last night, were beaten to death.

"The people's girl Wu Niang knocks to see the adult!" Wu Niang, who had just been taken down, was brought back to the hall, her knees slightly bent, and she slowly knelt on the ground.

Through the thin curtain, Wang Huizu looked intently at the twenty-eight-year-old girl in the hall, and kept studying ink in his hands.

Qin Xiong, who was sitting opposite, was very strange, what kind of ink was he studying at this time?

The county magistrate asked coldly: "Defendant Wu Niang, you said that you committed adultery with your second uncle, do you know his name?" ”

Wu Niang replied softly: "The folk girl knows, his name is Pu Pu Chen." ”

"Would you write his name?" The county magistrate asked again.

"The Women's Association." Wu Niang said.

As soon as the words fell, Wang Huizu stopped the movements in his hand and asked his subordinates to take out the ink that had been researched.

"Write it in your own hands."

The county official dipped the brush in ink, Wu Niang got up and walked to the public case, took the brush with both hands and waved.

The handwriting is fresh and elegant, and at first glance, it looks like a serious person has read a book. The writing hands were unusually delicate, not like they had done rough work.

It is indeed unbelievable that a child daughter-in-law is raised as a daughter-in-law.

"Pudongchen," the county magistrate stared at the delicate handwriting in her hand, couldn't help but read it out loud, and then turned his gaze to her face that was more delicate than the handwriting, "How long have you two known each other?" When did you hook up and commit adultery? ”

"The second uncle just came to Pu's house yesterday, and we ...... that night" Speaking of this, Wu Niang lowered her head shyly.

"I rolled together on the day I met, this little lady is not an ordinary wave!" The onlookers commented.

"Okay, I understand." The servant took the pen and gently placed it on the inkstone.

"Defendant Wu Niang, the plaintiff's father said that the plaintiff Pu Si hysteria attack wronged the two of you, if you have any grievances, this official will administer justice for you, once the grievances are cleared, you can still return to the Pu family to be your young lady."

Wu Niang was stunned at first, and then refused: "No! My lord! ”

"Why?"

"It is true that the folk girl committed adultery with the second uncle, the second uncle can testify, and the family members of the Pu family compound can testify, and ask the adults to send it according to the law!"

This incomprehensible remark made the two masters look at each other.

Wei Tingkui was even more stunned.

Since beating him as a county magistrate, she has dealt with countless plaintiffs and defendants, and she is still the first one who cried and begged the county magistrate to convict her because of the young grandmother's impropriety.

"My lord, the two of them have indeed been wronged, and I hope that the adults will let the grass people withdraw the case and take their daughter-in-law home." Pudong Sheng, who thought that he had made a bribe and had completed his merits, said calmly on the side.

Wu Niang looked at Pudong Sheng in horror, and said in a tone full of despair: "My lord! The women know that they are guilty of their sins, and they are willing to apologize for their sins with death! After saying that, he plucked the step shake from his head and stabbed it hard at his chest.

"Wu Niang!" Pudong Chen, who was kneeling next to him, was quick to move, grabbed Wu Niang's hand, grabbed the next step and threw it aside.

"Let me die! Why don't you let me die? Wu Niang's emotions came too abruptly, and the group of people was in a fog.

"It's noisy in the court!" Shocked Tang Mu slapped hard, and Wei Tingkui scolded sharply.

Huizu quickly wrote down the word "retirement" and handed it to his subordinates, and the county magistrate announced his withdrawal again after reading it.

As soon as the door of the yamen was closed, Qin Xiong suddenly had a seizure: "Master Wang, like you, you will retreat after two sentences of back and forth, and this case can only be concluded in the Year of the Monkey?" ”

Hui Zu didn't reason with him, smiled and owed, and left behind the scenes and walked down the hall. Wu Niang's abnormal behavior told him that she seemed to have something unspeakable that she couldn't say in public.

He picked up the step shake that was knocked down by Wang Dongchen and looked at it carefully.

The work of this step is very delicate, and a plain silver butterfly rests on a blooming flower.

The butterflies are lifelike, the two wings are slightly open, and there are long silver tassels hanging from the bottom of the flowers, and the emerald jade beads are dotted in between, giving people a fresh and elegant feeling.

"Master Wang, are you interested in this thing? This official has good goods here, and I will order someone to take you to the treasure pavilion to carefully pick a few later. Wei Tingkui quipped happily.

"No matter how good the treasure pavilion is, it may not have this top use!" Wang Huizu said.

"What does this thing do? I'm all new, you've been worn by someone else! It's still worn by an adulterer, and it's bad luck to give it away! Wei Tingkui said.

Wang Huizu didn't squeak, at this time he was recalling Wu Niang's actions when she committed suicide.

Adultery is not punishable by death, at most it is exile or a few boards, but why did she commit suicide? Even if she wanted to die, she could go to prison and die quietly, so why did she have to die in court?

This is incomprehensible.

Looking at Pu Chen's concern for her, it doesn't look like it's pretending, which at least proves that the relationship between the two should not be forced.

But why did she kill herself with a step? Wang Huizu once again focused his gaze on Bu Shao.

The blooming flowers are layered on top of each other, and they are very beautiful. The petals are surrounded by several white pearls, and the jade bead in the center is different in color and material from the beads next to it, deliberately creating the feeling of stars holding the moon.

The jade beads are purple, not as full and round as the surrounding pearls, and even a little flat, which makes people want to reach out and touch them lightly.

The butterfly's wings also fluttered slightly as he walked back and forth, wait, why does this butterfly only have wings and no head?

Did you just touch it when you committed suicide with it? However, the overall cohesion of this step is perfect, and there is no trace of breakage.

"Don't look at it, Master Wang, do you see that the tip of this step is so blunt that it can kill people? In my opinion, the defendant is just acting to gain sympathy and want the official to give a light sentence. Wei Tingkui glanced at it and said.

That's right, the tip of this step is very blunt, let alone killing, if the clothes are thicker, it is estimated that they can't even wear through the clothes, but why did Wu Niang use it to kill herself?

Is it really as the county order said, she is just using it for drama?

If that's the case, why didn't she just let the Pu family withdraw the lawsuit and go back with Pudong directly? Could it be that she knew that she would not have any good fruit to eat when she went back?

Wang Huizu fell into deep thought.

At this time, it was already noon, and the sunlight shone through the window of Xiaoxuan, impartially shining on the two thin butterfly wings with a hollow design, dazzling and shining.

Bu Shao looks like a palm, but the weight is very light, this is silver, plus a dozen jade beads should not be so light, could it be ......

Wang Huizu couldn't help but shake it slightly, and there was a crisp sound of metal colliding inside.

Sure enough, it was hollow.

He gently pressed the jade bead of different colors in the center of the petals, and the butterfly wings flapped, and the two wings overlapped and clinged together. One more press of the butterfly and the two butterfly wings automatically detach from the emerald petals, and two beads fall out of it.

"Ahh Master Wang, shouldn't that Wu Niang want to use this secret weapon to assassinate the official? Wei Tingkui exclaimed.

"How can two beads be used for thorns? Adults are worried. Wang Huizu took the bead in his hand and looked at it carefully.

The beads look smooth and round, and there is no writing or hint on them.

Wu Niang's step is so designed, is it just for the unique shape?
