Chapter 69: A Son-in-law's Counterattack
Yin Zhutou invited Chen Wenchao out of the house with his front foot, and Shi Bing entered Chen's house with his back foot.
Because Chen Wenchao was taken away by the people of Shuntian Mansion, the Liu family and his two sons were suspicious in their hearts, and when they heard that the people from the Eldest Princess's Mansion asked to see them, they immediately thought of their newly moved neighbor Hua Yukun.
These days, the Liu family has heard a lot of people in the family talk about the former concubine, and even the eldest lady who also knows the eldest princess's mansion often comes over, so they are not too surprised when they hear that the person who came is from the eldest prince's mansion.
Shi Bingtian added oil and vinegar, telling that Chen Niangzi met someone unladylike, thinking that her husband was studying in the capital, and she took her two sons to find her husband, thanks to the help of the monks of Guangji Temple to inquire, only to find Chen Juren, but on the second day of the door to find someone, Chen Niangzi disappeared, leaving her two sons in Guangji Temple.
When he heard that Chen Niangzi's body had been chopped into three pieces and his head had not been found, Liu's face turned pale, and he was supported by his two sons so that he did not fall.
"Why did Miss Huada meddle in this matter?" Liu asked in a deep voice after stabilizing his mind.
Shi Bingdao: "My girl said that she is still in the boudoir, with the support of her parents, and she can still count smoothly, but once a woman meets someone unladylike, and there is no family to rely on, Chen Niangzi is a lesson from the past, although she is in the boudoir, she is also cold, she is worried that Chen Niangzi's today is her tomorrow." ”
When Shi Bing said this, he felt that his calves and stomach were trembling, but these words were indeed what the girl asked him to say, but it turned out that these words were really useful, look, the Liu family and the two sons are now kneeling in front of the eldest prince.
The Liu family also saw Hua Jingyao, the little girl was exquisitely dressed, her eyebrows were picturesque, and her expression was a little arrogant, this is the eldest lady of the eldest princess's mansion.
The corpse was just found here, and hundreds of people gathered outside, but this eldest lady with golden branches and jade leaves still came, just as the guard said, Miss Hua is really cold-lipped, and she really cares about this matter.
Hua Jingyao felt Liu's gaze, she bowed slightly, and her expression became more solemn.
Zhao Zhen also looked at the Liu family and asked, "Liu family, you and Chen Wenchao are married wives, can you know the matter between Chen Wenchao and that Chen Niangzi?" ”
Liu Shi looked up at Chen Wenchao who was standing aside, then looked at the two sons who were kneeling with her, gritted his teeth, and said to Zhao Zhen: "Lord Huiyu, the little woman and Chen Wenchao are indeed married to each other, but Chen Wenchao can't take a concubine, let alone marry another, no matter whether there is anything between him and Chen Niangzi, he won't let the little woman know, otherwise, ...... My lord, I can't hide it, Chen Wenchao is really my Liu family's son-in-law! Son-in-law is not allowed to enter the imperial examination, my father took pity on Chen Wenchao for being a seed of study, and when he asked the official media to make a marriage letter, he concealed the matter of recruiting money, and agreed that I and Chen Wenchao's children would follow his surname and choose one of the grandchildren to inherit the incense of the Liu family. Chen Wenchao's entry into the Liu family is true, there are not many people in Tongzhou who know about this, and he has another deed with my family, which is clearly written, and the deed is now handed over to the Liu clan for safekeeping, and the adults sent someone to Tongzhou to check it. ”
As soon as Liu's words came out, both Zhao Zhen and the people who were hearing the trial outside the door were all taken aback.
This dignified man turned out to be a son-in-law!
In the previous dynasty, the son-in-law even had to change his wife's surname, but in this dynasty, there is no law stipulating whether the son-in-law changes his wife's surname or not, only by the will of the two families, but the son-in-law cannot participate in the imperial examination is unchanged, Chen Wenchao has a reputation as a son-in-law, whether he kills or not, he is against the law.
This Liu is a lady, is she crazy?
"Are you crazy?" Chen Wenchao roared angrily, he didn't expect that the Liu family would openly say this matter in front of the eldest prince and so many people.
Liu Shi didn't look at him, she raised her head and said to Zhao Zhen: "According to the law of the Great Zhou, if the marriage certificate is forged, you will be punished with twenty rods and fined twenty taels of silver." My Liu family pleaded guilty. ”
Chen Bin, the eldest son of the Liu family, and Chen Kai, the second son of the Liu family, who had not spoken, kowtowed: "The villain is willing to be punished on behalf of his mother." ”
Zhao Zhen waved his hand and said to the subordinates who were making the record: "Write it down first, and this matter will be filed for another trial later." ”
The onlookers were talking, yes, such a secret thing, it was going to rot to the stomach, why did you say it? Could it be that this Liu family committed adultery with someone and wanted to take this opportunity to kick the original husband away?
Yes, it must be like this, in this kind of matter, the husband accuses his wife, which is the righteous destruction of relatives, and the wife accuses the husband, which is not keeping the woman's way.
This Liu is still scribbling his eyebrows and eyebrows at his age, and he looks like a woman who does not abide by women's morals.
A man said in the crowd: "No matter what is written in the marriage book, but Chen Juren also promised to let his grandson inherit the incense of the Liu family, if there is no Chen Juren, she will not be able to be the wife of the Juren, she really has no conscience, the world is declining, if it is in our hometown, this kind of woman will be immersed in the pig cage." ”
Hearing this, Chen Wenchao's waist straightened, and he arched his hand to Zhao Zhen in the hall and said: "The Liu family does not abide by women's morals and talks nonsense, please drive them out." ”
Zhao Zhen also had doubts in his heart, he looked at the woman kneeling in the hall again, the woman had tears in her eyes, but the look on her face was even more resolute than when she just came in.
"Liu, this matter is a secret of your family, why did you say it at this time, but because you and Chen Wenchao are not in agreement?" Zhao Zhen asked.
Liu smiled bitterly and said: "The little woman's maiden name is Liu, and her ancestors have been butchers for several generations, and now when she arrives in Tongzhou, as long as you ask Liu Tu, the entire Tongzhou City knows that it is our family." My family is not only a butcher, but also has its own pig farm, raising its own and killing and selling itself, which is the only one in Tongzhou, and the family background is good. The Chen family is different from my family, their family is all scholars, hehe, they are really scholars, they only read, but they don't produce, and when it comes to my father-in-law's generation, they are even more destitute. Chen Wenchao is the eldest son, and there is a younger brother below, so in desperation, he had to put aside the high school of the scholar and go to my family's pork shop as an apprentice. ”
When Liu said this, Zhao Zhen subconsciously looked at Luo Chengzuo who was standing in front of the big water tank to listen to the trial, there was no way, this courtyard was too small, Luo Yanzuo could only stand there.
Luo Yanzuo's white fat face was shining, and he didn't know if it was sweat or oil, so he said that the murderer was a professional, and look, this is right.
Chen Wenchao was an apprentice in a pork shop, and he was a professionally trained person, whether he was a teacher or not.
What? You say that killing a pig is not the same as killing someone?
Luo Chengzuo can tell you that in the Great Zhou Dynasty, not every county government had a work, and the county government that did not have a work was to invite a butcher to come to the autopsy.
What is impossible for a butcher to be able to incarnate a post-mortem, use the experience of killing pigs flexibly, and chop people into three?
