Chapter 81: The Willows and Flowers
Chapter 81: The willows are bright
After eating until late at night, he was already seven or eight points drunk, Huang Lushi asked the servant to bring a box of copper coins, and said to Xiao Jiading: "Brother Xiao, thank you for saving my daughter, this is a little heart, express gratitude, please accept it!" ”
Xiao Jiading shook his head: "I never accept money from people!" This is the principle. ”
"It's not any other money, it's a thank you for saving the little woman's life!"
"For whatever reason, I don't take any money!" Xiao Jiading squinted at him with drunken eyes, and said in a low voice, "You are the workshop manager, maybe one day I will ask you for help, of course, it will never violate the principle, you help me, isn't it just to thank me?" ”
Xiao Jiading knew that the Jinjiang flood control embankment was in Shaocheng County, and this project was down, and it must be the specific responsibility of the Shaocheng County Yagongfang, and if he bought the rocky mountains and barren slopes on both sides, he would definitely have to deal with the workshop. If you say it first, it will be easier to do things when the time comes.
Huang Lushi heard Xiao Jiading say this, and said that even if he opened his mouth if there was something, he still had to accept the money for gratitude, but Xiao Jiading insisted on not accepting it, so he had no choice but to give up, and gratefully toasted Xiao Jiading several glasses of wine. Then, let her daughter come out and give a to cheer up.
After the banquet was dispersed, Huang Lushi excused himself to be drunk and asked his daughter Huang Shiyun to send Xiao Jiading.
This time, Huang Shiyun did not support Xiao Jiading like last time, although this time Xiao Jiading was still drunk and walked a little unsteadily. Xiao Jiading knew that it was he who said that she was shameless in the yamen last time, which really hurt her heart, and she didn't dare to do anything intimate to herself. This is just right, although Xiao Jiading's perception of her has changed somewhat, but it is not to the point of having a good impression.
When he arrived at the door, Xiao Jiading felt that he had spoken a little too much last time, so he said drunkly: "Last time I ...... at my place, Xie Lu thanked you for taking care of my ......, I was drunk, I may not speak well, you ...... Don't you mind......"
As soon as Huang Shiyun heard this, her eyes turned red, and she turned around and wiped away a handful of tears, then she turned her face, smiled at him, and said, "Brother Xiao......" I only said this sentence, and I couldn't say it anymore.
Xiao Jiading said goodbye and returned home.
The next morning, Kang County Ling Shengtang inquired about the case, and the trial was the case of the Wu family killing the Liu family and the case of Su Yunxia suing her mother.
Although his husband Su Laocai went to court and said that his wife was killed by mistake in anger and asked for leniency, Kang County still made a sentence of hanging in accordance with Xiao Jiading's verdict.
Then try the case of Su Yunxia suing her mother. You have to wear shackles when you go to the hall, so Su Yunxia was escorted to the lobby wearing shackles. Many onlookers outside the lobby saw a beautiful woman coming to the hall, and they all talked about it. Many people know about this case, and they know that she told her mother in order to avenge her biological mother. So looking at her with a complicated look, mostly with sympathy.
Su Yunxia knelt down after going to the court, because the case was very clear, Kang County Ling didn't bother to ask, but just asked according to the procedure: "You sue your mother-in-law, the law does not allow it, do you admit your guilt?" ”
Su Yunxia slowly raised her head, and saw Xiao Jiading standing behind Kang Xian Ling, smiled sadly, and nodded: "I confess ...... guilt."
"Hmm!" Kang County Ling picked up Xiao Jiading's verdict that had been drafted, and was about to announce the verdict, when he suddenly heard someone shouting under the corridor of the lobby: "Wronged! Su Yunxia was wronged! Big man! ”
Kang Xianling frowned and said angrily: "Who is making noise outside?" ”
Immediately, the two soaps rushed down, lifted the screaming man up, and pressed him to the ground and knelt down. Su Yunxia squinted, it was a middle-aged man, but she didn't know it, she didn't know what he wanted to do for him, and she didn't have any grievances.
Kang Xian Ling didn't wait for him to speak, so he threw the order sign down and said, "Roaring court, let's talk about twenty first!" ”
Su Yunxia was taken aback, and looked at the execution of several soap subordinates dragging the middle-aged man under the platform outside the public court, and she was surprised and grateful in her heart.
The execution soap took the thorn and slammed twenty times at the man's thigh. The man was stiff and silent. The onlookers were surprised to see that someone came out to cry out for this death row inmate, everyone on death row admitted their guilt, what else was wronged? They all stretched out their necks and looked at it, and when they saw this man like this, many people secretly applauded.
After the execution, he put the middle-aged man back and knelt down.
Kang Xian Ling asked coldly: "Who are you?" Why do you want to cry out for the guilty woman Su? ”
The middle-aged man said: "My name is Cai Laoshan, I am ......, and I am Su Yunxia's...... Biological father! ”
At this sentence, the people in the lobby and outside the lobby were stunned.
Su Yunxia turned to look at him in surprise, this is the negative person who refused to elope with her mother and caused her mother to suffer a lot? Cai Laoshan also turned his head to look at him, his eyes full of love.
Su Yunxia turned her head to look at Xiao Jiading again, and saw Xiao Jiading looking at herself expressionlessly, not knowing what Lu Dao was thinking.
Surprisingly, there is also Su Yunxia's father Su Laocai, who was tried outside the lobby and was about to be summoned to testify. He opened his mouth to scold, but when he thought of the end of the man being whipped twenty for shouting injustice, he immediately closed his mouth again.
Kang County Ling was shocked and said angrily: "Bold! Su Yunxia's biological father is obviously Su Laocai, how could it be you? ”
Cai Laoshan said: "What the villain said is true. The villain is in the same village as Su Yunxia's mother, Liu, and grew up together since childhood. Hit it off. Originally, the villain was going to marry her. However, without waiting for the villain to raise enough dowry, the Su family first funded her as a concubine. The night before I went out, I was very sad, and I tried to ask her out, in the grove outside the village, I wanted to elope with her, but she didn't want to, and said that she would be a member of the Su family in the future, so I died and found a good daughter-in-law. I was so angry that I raped her despite her ...... resistance......"
Suddenly, everyone outside the lobby who was hearing the trial began to talk in a low voice, and they couldn't imagine that there would be such a dramatic change in this case!
Kang Xian Ling's face was also full of surprise, when such a situation occurred, he didn't know what to do, thought about it, and asked: "So, do you think Su Yunxia was the one you raped the Liu family that night?" ”
"Yes." Cai Laoshan said affirmatively, "I didn't think so at first, but later, I accidentally saw their mother and daughter on the street, and I immediately saw that my daughter Su Yunxia was very much like me." That's why I guess she's my daughter. If it weren't for Su Yunxia's complaint against her mother-in-law, I wouldn't have said it. But now that something like this has happened, I can only say it, she is my daughter, I have asked people who understand criminal law, and I learned that if Su Yunxia is my daughter, then it is not Su Laocai's daughter, and the Wu family is not her mother-in-law! Therefore, it is okay for her to sue the Wu family, and it does not violate the royal law. Now I hear that my daughter is going to be sentenced to death, I ......, I can only go out and tell the story, she is wronged! Ask the lord to be clear! ”
Kang Xianling was dumbfounded, he couldn't understand the bends inside, and he didn't know what to do, so he coughed lightly. This is a signal, which means to let Xiao Jiading take the idea.
Xiao Jiading immediately stepped forward and whispered in Kang County's ear: "First check whether what he said is the truth, and then make a decision." If not, leave the court for investigation. ”
After that, Kang County ordered to retreat.
Kang County Ling listened to Xiao Jiading's words, and knew what to do, he looked at Cai Laoshan and said, "She doesn't look like you." On the contrary, it is a bit like Su Laocai! ”
Cai Laoshan said: "She is like when I was young, and she is naturally not like me now." If you don't believe me, you can ask the people in the village what I looked like when I was young, and she looks like her. Since this incident, I have been in extreme pain in my heart, and I have worked in the fields day and night, exposed to the sun and rain, so I look very old, and naturally it is not like it. ”
There is some truth to this. Kang County Ling nodded slowly and said, "Since you admit that you have committed adultery, this county will first send you to prison, send someone to investigate, and then make a verdict!" - Put Su Yunxia and Cai Laoshan in prison! Retire! ”
After that, in the majestic voice of all the soap subordinates, Kang Xian Ling walked out of the back door of the lobby with his hands behind his back and pacing.
Xiao Jiading followed out and went all the way to the signing room.
After Kang Xian Ling sat down, he looked at Xiao Jiading and said, "Now, what should I do?" ”
In fact, the scene that happened in the lobby just now was pointed out by Xiao Jiading and Cai Laoshan when he went to the grave. Let Cai Laoshan say that he raped the Liu family, instead of giving birth to Su Yunxia through adultery with the Liu family, so as to protect the Liu family's reputation to a certain extent. However, in this way, Cai Laoshan's crime will be heavier for half a year, that is, two years in prison. Cai Laoshan was willing to exchange two years of hard labor for Su Yunxia's life. What the two agreed on, Xiao Jiading himself knew what to do next. But he pretended to groan, thought for a while, and then said: "Let's first find out whether what Cai Laoshan said is true." ”
"If it's true, then what?"
If it is true, Su Yunxia's accusation against her mother-in-law will naturally not be established. Because she is not Su Laocai's daughter, the Nawu family is naturally not her mother-in-law, at best, she can only be regarded as the adoptive mother who raised her, according to the provisions of the criminal law: 'The person who raised her kills her own life and listens to it.'" That is to say, if one's adoptive parents kill their biological parents, they can denounce them and are not punished by the prohibition of prosecution. ”
Kang Xian Ling suddenly realized, nodded frequently, and said: "Then this matter will be handed over to you, and after it is investigated, you will make a decision!" ”
"Yes!"
This result was expected by Xiao Jiading. After coming out, he found a yamen painter and took her to the yamen prison and asked him to paint a portrait of Su Yunxia.
When she arrived at death row, Su Yunxia was sitting on the edge of the bed in a daze. The shackles around her neck have been removed. Seeing Xiao Jiading coming in, he hurried over, his face was white, his eyes were red, he had obviously just cried, he looked at Xiao Jiading, and he stopped talking.
