On March 20, the Torture Hall was elevated.

The suicide case of Su Mao, which I thought had been closed, suddenly rose to court.

Everyone felt strange, and they didn't understand what had happened in the past few days, so that Lord Song suddenly changed his mind and changed the case that was originally located as suicide to homicide?

"Didn't the adults go to Yangxin to handle the case? Why did you reopen the case after you came back? ”

"Could it be that someone has told you these days?"

"No, I suspect that the Mao family came to ask for a dowry, but the Su family didn't give it, and the two families sued for money."

This statement is very likely, and everyone nodded their heads.

"Speaking of which, why didn't you see Wu Lin today?" Some people are curious, Lord Song must come every time he ascends to the Wu Lin clan.

While Lord Song hadn't come out yet, everyone went to find Wu Lin's family.

"What are you looking for, the old lady is going to come every day before she dies," Wu Lin's little horse put it on the ground, "I'm really looking forward to the adult's ascension every day and night, otherwise I'm too bored this day." ”

It's not fun to scold people every day.

"You can do something for your daughter-in-law." There is humanity.

Wu Lin took a sip: "I finally became a mother-in-law, and let me serve my daughter-in-law again?" ”

"If she can eat my cooking, I also admire her for her big heart, and I am not afraid that I will poison her."

Someone laughed and quipped: "If you poison it, then you can listen to the adults judge the case from the closest distance." ”

"Bah, if you provoke trouble, you won't be able to see others have a good life." Wu Lin took a sip, not wanting to deal with the other party.

In the public court, Song Ning came out of the back office and sat down behind the public case.

Zhao Yi didn't come today, saying that he was too lazy to see the family, so he gave himself a rest and listened to the play at home.

When Song Ning came out in the morning, he really heard the babbling and singing next door.

It's been a long time since I've heard it.

The little girls and daughters-in-law who came to see Zhao Zhutou were disappointed.

"Take the Su family and others." Song Ning shouted.

Su Jinliang's father and son, along with Su Liu and Su Wang, were brought up.

Mao Yunsong and Mao Yunbo's brothers, as well as the Mao family, sat next door to listen to the trial.

Su Yan was brought up, and in the past two days, he calmed down and forced himself to sleep when he was okay in prison, so that his brain could stay awake.

also thought about how he would answer Song Ning's question after going to court.

Startled wood clapped.

Song Ning looked at the Su family of five and asked, "Everyone, who is coming?" ”

"Your Excellency, you've been locked up for a few days, and we don't know why." Su Yan straightened his waist and gave his family confidence.

Su Yang hung his head.

Su Liu shouted: "Yes, my lord, if you want to say it, you should also say it." ”

"We were inexplicably detained for two days and two nights, and we were brought directly to the court without saying anything."

The people at the door don't understand either.

"Okay, who made this official have a good temper." Song Ning looked at Su Yan, "On the twelfth of this month, Su Mao's family drank arsenic at the mouth of the alley and committed suicide. ”

"Who can not feel distressed when such a young life came to an abrupt end?!"

However, when the official arrived at the scene, there was a scene that made the official wonder, why did the deceased run to the alley if he wanted to die? With such doubts, the officer did a preliminary autopsy, and the result was no accident, the deceased did commit suicide by taking arsenic. ”

The Su family hung their heads and listened, their expressions quite calm.

Then the second wonder came up again. Song Ning said to Su Wang's family, "At that time, the deceased and her husband Su Yan were arguing in the kitchen, how did you repeat it, you can talk about it later." ”

Su Wang thought for a moment and replied, "...... The eldest brother went to the kitchen for breakfast, and the porridge was too thin, and the sister-in-law was killing fish in the kitchen at that time, and when she heard it, she threw the fish on the ground, saying that the days could not be passed, so she ran to the room, and I didn't want to interject and continued to wash the clothes, and the eldest brother sulked at the kitchen door. ”

"After two sips of tea, the sister-in-law came out with a cup, shouting that she was going to the street to find someone to judge, and said that she was dead, and rushed out of the house."

"I didn't even understand what she meant, so I wiped my hands and went out to have a look, and who knew that I saw her standing in the street, drinking arsenic."

Su Wang said: "At that time, the people replied to you like this. ”

Song Ning bowed: "Did she say that she was going out to find someone to judge?" ”

Su Wang was about to speak, when she suddenly caught a glimpse of Su Yanzheng giving her a look, and she was stunned and suddenly realized why Lord Song asked her to repeat this passage.

Because Lord Song said it, she had a second doubt, which was obviously something wrong with what she said at the time, which made Lord Song aware of the problem and had questions.

"I—I don't remember." Su Wang's eyes flickered.

Beat and scold, but when it comes to the outside world, we must be united, and we must not let Lord Song take advantage of the loopholes.

"Really?" Song Ning didn't care at all, and said, "If you don't say it, you can only pass witnesses." ”

One of the two old women who were chatting at the entrance of the alley at that time was reported to have witnessed the whole process of Su Mao's coming out of the house to drinking the medicine.

She replied: "Su Yan's daughter-in-law was crying and shouting for evaluation, and rushed to the mouth of the alley, we were startled, and we didn't know what she was going to do, so we heard her say that she wanted us to help her evaluate, how could she live." ”

"She said that she would marry her, raise her in-law's family, and cook and wash clothes for the family, and she didn't have to praise her for Su Yan."

"Speaking of this, she drank the medicine, and then said that if Su Yan didn't change, she would leave!"

Song Ning asked her: "When she said this, did she look at the door of the house?" ”

The old woman nodded: "Yes, while saying that, we looked at the door of the house, we felt that she was a quarrel between the two of us, and she wanted to make Su Yan bow her head with death." ”

"We just want to wait for Su Yan to come and persuade her, who knows that she really drank the medicine, we are really scared of this."

"If we knew that she really drank arsenic, we couldn't watch her drink it, it's a pity for such a young girl."

The old woman sighed guiltily.

Song Ning comforted her: "You can't be blamed for this. He asked again, "However, according to your experience, do you think that Su Mao's medicine came out just to force her husband to bow his head, not to really seek death, right?" ”

The old woman nodded, "Yes." Adult, you are a man, I don't know, this married life, which woman has never done this kind of thing? ”

"The man was messing around outside, he couldn't control it, and it was useless to cry. The smarter ones coaxed in all kinds of ways, and the fierce ones cried, made trouble, and hanged themselves to force people back. ”

"Even you think so." Song Ning bowed slightly, and looked at the women at the door again, "Will everyone be like this?" ”

Many women nodded, and Wu Lin said, "My lord, who wants to die if you are not in a hurry?" ”

Song Ning asked, "What kind of woman would seek death in general?" ”

"A woman like Su Mao, who still has a dowry of 50,000 taels, a daughter who is only four years old, who is loved by her mother's brother and cherished by her parents, will suddenly seek death?"

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and Wu Lin said, "My lord, that will definitely not be." ”

"Women seek death because there is no way out. The husband doesn't protect her, her mother's family doesn't want her, she is desperate. Wu Lin said, "Just like her, as long as her brain is good, she will definitely not seek death." ”

Song Ning nodded, and suddenly looked at the Su family: "Su Yan, do you think what they said makes sense?" ”

Su Yan replied: "If you go back to the adult, my student doesn't understand the woman's thoughts. ”

"Why is Su Mao's family looking for death?" Song Ning asked him, "This is the last chance to give you a chance to confess and be lenient." ”

Su Yan's eyes flickered, and he replied: "She is so strong, because I am not motivated enough, so I always feel ashamed, and it is understandable to seek death in anger." ”

Song Ning snorted coldly: "She was disappointed in you, why didn't she let you and arsenic, but drank it herself?" ”

"You think biting her to death is suicide, and this case can be determined by you?"

Su Yan choked.

"There are often women who scold men and dog men!" Song Ning bowed his head, "This official agrees with this scolding sentence today, because you have embodied this title to the fullest." ”

Su Yan looked at Song Ning with a blue face.

"Why should adults insult students?" He said.

"I don't want to be your teacher." Song Ning took his hand, stood in front of Su Yan, and asked, "She is pampered and protected by her parents and brothers, she has a simple and kind personality, and she has never been in contact with men, so you will use clever words to make her like you." ”

"It's also happy to like someone, so she pays for you to build a house and give you a dowry for marrying her, so that his parents and brothers can agree with you."

"She brought so much gold and silver to your house and raised your family, what do you think she wants from you?"

Su Yan's eyes were barely red, showing a guilty look to speak, but Song Ning didn't give him a chance at all: "In this marriage, the person who really has a plan is not Su Mao's family, but you, a wolf-hearted thing." ”

"She supports you, gives you money, builds a house for your family, honors your parents, when you are a treasure, and you, you are stupid and have no brains to bully at will." Song Ning sneered.

"Do you have a conscience?"

Su Yan was stunned.

Song Ning looked at Su Jinliang again: "Ordinary people want to marry a daughter-in-law, which one is not to scatter all your wealth and beg people to worship Buddha, not only did you not spend any money, but because of this, the tide rose and the chicken dog ascended to heaven and became a master." ”

Su Jinliang's face turned pale.

"Such a good daughter-in-law, don't you cherish it, don't you have a painful conscience?"

Song Ning asked Su Liu: "Mother-in-law should be filial, but that is an ordinary daughter-in-law, she brought a dowry to support your family, are you embarrassed to continue to treat her harshly?" ”

"Doesn't your conscience hurt?"

Su Liu hung his head.

Song Ning asked Su Yang: "Without her, would you have died a long time ago?" Good medicine gives you life, but you turn a blind eye to her plight and are indifferent to her death, are you embarrassed? ”

She asked Su Wang: "No matter how kind she treats you, what you eat and even your children's food is hers, but you still want to kill her, what about your conscience?" ”

Su Wang looked at Song Ning in horror.
