Chapter 14 deserves it
"No, it's not my bloodstain, it's Xu Tao's."
Song Wanfeng walked to the basin shelf, wiped the blood in the palm of her hand with a handkerchief, and instantly restored her original whiteness. Dew Drop breathed a long sigh of relief, thinking that Song Wanfeng had injured her hand by mistake when she stabbed Xu Tao in the tongue with a dagger.
"Miss, if there is such a thing in the future, don't do it yourself, you tell the slave maid, and the slave and maid promise to do a beautiful job for the young lady." Dewdrop Road.
The young lady is weak, although she was lucky not to be injured today, but next time she will inevitably be able to get lucky again.
Moreover, Song Wanfeng is like white moonlight in the hearts of Dew Drops and Baicao, she should live in the sun, if someone has to do these dirty things for her, Dew Drop would rather become Song Wanfeng's executioner herself than let Song Wanfeng be contaminated in the slightest.
Song Wanfeng smiled and didn't reply.
Zhang Lan may not have anything to do in this Zhuangzi after she is gone, but if she returns to Kyoto, where she eats human flesh and bones and eats human flesh and blood, in order to protect her life, she calculates that no matter how unwilling she is, her hands will be stained with blood.
Zhang Lan, who was abandoned on the ground, struggled and whimpered to escape, and was slapped to the ground by Baicao.
"You old pious woman, you want to run away after killing someone." Baicao said angrily.
"You can't let her escape." Some of the onlookers shouted.
"Killing people pays for their lives, if she escapes, she may still want to kill us, everyone must be optimistic."
"Yes, kill her." The person who had been bullied by Zhang Lan's mother and son shouted angrily.
Listening to the appearance of everyone shouting and shouting and killing, Zhang Lan was shocked in her heart, curled up in a panic, and cried silently.
She didn't kill Xu Tao, it was her own son.
Chu Ziyu, who was sitting on the roof, shook the fan in his hand and said, "This girl is not only ruthless to herself, but also to others. Zhou Shi, you say, what is this girl thinking in her head? ”
Zhou Yan didn't reply, and glanced down at Chu Ziyu speechlessly, indicating how he would know what was going on in the man's head.
Chu Ziyu, who had long been accustomed to Zhou Yan's silence, didn't want to get an answer from him, it was more of a kind of self-talk from him.
Not long after, after the official came to investigate and consult, he took Zhang Lan to the yamen and detained him, Xu Tao's body was also taken away, and Zhuangzi fell silent.
On this night, many people remained with their eyes open until midnight.
The murder occurred in Zhuangzi, and Song Wanfeng, as the eldest lady, had to be present, so she came to the yamen together at the invitation of the official notice. At this time, many curious people had gathered, and they stretched out their heads to look in.
The people have arrived, the county lord immediately ascended to the court, Zhang Lan was just brought up, and when she passed by Song Wanfeng's side, her eyes were full of red bloodshots, as if she had extracted poison, and she wanted to kill her.
Zhang Lan didn't sleep all night last night, as long as she closed her eyes, the hideous face after Xu Tao's death appeared in her mind, and it was difficult to sleep.
Zhang Lan, who couldn't sleep, also had more time to think about this whole thing and how to save herself.
Song Wanfeng was not only not frightened by Zhang Lan, but the corners of her mouth were slightly hooked up to reveal a shallow smile, evil and beautiful.
The county magistrate patted the wood in surprise and said, "Who is in the hall?" ”
Huiniang, who was kneeling on the ground, was about to speak, and Zhang Lan, who was kneeling on the side, took the lead in crying: "My lord, you are wronged!" The women of the people are wronged! Zhang Lan, a folk woman, is the principal grandmother of Zhuangzi in the Guogong Mansion, and the deceased is Xu Tao, the only son of a folk woman.
The woman lost her husband at an early age, and the mother and son depended on each other for their lives, he was the life of the people's woman, how could the woman kill her son with her own hands?
Last night, the woman had gone to bed, and the next person came to spread the word that the son of the woman had something to tell the woman, and the woman put on a coat to see the son of the woman, but when she walked to the garden, she suddenly tripped and fell, and the woman saw that it was the son of the woman lying on the ground, and he was dead. ”
Zhang Lan cried bitterly and shouted: "My lord, the woman really didn't kill the son of the woman, someone behind this time assassinated the son of the woman, and if she wanted to escape the crime, she planted the blame on the woman."
My lord, I am wronged, please also look into it, find out the vicious person behind this, return the innocence of the people's wife, and comfort the unwillingness and injustice of the deceased. ”
Zhang Lan glanced at the trembling Huiniang with disdain from the corner of her eye, and then glanced at Song Wanfeng who was standing aside.
She took a step ahead of them to reveal the facts and discernment, giving everyone a preconceived impression, and then no matter what the next to her, or Song Wanfeng said, she only needed to make a loophole to refute, and the county master could still convict her?
As long as it is delayed until Mrs. Liu sends someone to rescue her, she will definitely let Song Wanfeng's dead girl and that cheap maid accompany her son to the funeral.
Song Wanfeng didn't expect Zhang Lan to do this, and she thought that she had broken her plan, but Song Wanfeng only felt ridiculous.
Zhang Lan is one step ahead, they have all the evidence, and she can still rely on her mouth to turn things around.
After getting Song Wanfeng's signal, Huiniang scolded Zhang Lan: "It's nonsense." ”
Then he knelt on the ground and said to the county master: "If you go back to the county master, things are not what Mama Zhang said. ”
"Who are you?"
"The people's daughter Hui Niang is a subordinate of Zhuangzi. Last night, the folk girl was a little uncomfortable, and felt that it was hot and she couldn't breathe, so she went for a walk in the garden. But I didn't want to see Mama Zhang and her son. The folk girl was a little curious about what Mama Zhang and Xu Tao were doing in the garden when they didn't sleep so late, so they quietly walked over.
The folk girl heard Xu Tao ask Mama Zhang for money, Mama Zhang said that she didn't give it, Xu Tao was angry for a while, took out a knife and threatened Mama Zhang, Mama Zhang still refused, Xu Tao did something to Mama Zhang, and the girl didn't know what happened, only to see Xu Tao suddenly fall to the ground, and he had an extra knife on his body. ”
The ordinary people who watched from the periphery of the yamen were embarrassed when they heard Hui Niang's story.
", you're a bunch of nonsense." Zhang Lan roared angrily.
I felt that the roar was not enjoyable, and I wanted to hit Hui Niang, but I was stopped by the officials on the side.
"All the people say is the truth, if there is a lie, the sky will thunder." Hui Niang is not the way.
"Lying, the county master, this is lying, this is not clean on weekdays, and has been found by the women many times, thinking that she is young and has nowhere to go, so the women have been keeping her to work in the village. Hui Niang, I treat you well on weekdays, why do you want to take revenge like this? Zhang Lan cried.
When Huiniang heard Zhang Lan's words, she was so angry that she almost blurted out angry scolding, but she still endured it.
"The folk girl is just telling the truth."
"My lord knows that this has a grudge against the people's women, and this is deliberately wronging the people's women, so that the people's women can bear the blame."
"What do you say?" The county magistrate looked at Song Wanfeng and asked.
"I don't know exactly what happened, I was not in good health and needed to recuperate, so I spent most of the day in my room. When I heard the noise, I walked out of the room with Baicao Dewdrop, and then I learned that there had been a murder. What is the specific truth, I have to trouble the county master. ”
said this, even Chu Ziyu, who was hiding in the shadows and peeking, secretly agreed, and in a sentence or two, he removed himself from this matter, and did not forget to compliment the county master.
The county magistrate nodded slightly, and then asked people to call the subordinates of Zhuangzi other than Hui Niang last night to the yamen for questioning.
