Chapter 235: You Recommended Yourself at the Beginning! (2-in-1)
Seeing that the two of them simply and neatly pushed the matter onto themselves, Zheng Yuan's expression suddenly became ugly, and he gritted his teeth and said, "You recommended yourself at the beginning!" β
This Wang Lao Liu used to be a tenant in Miss Zhuangzi, if it weren't for this, how could she use these two?
If it was before, Wang Lao Liu would definitely still be stammering her, but now, where is he willing to carry the black pot for her?
When he heard her words, Wang Lao Liu directly cried and said: "Master, we were wronged, it was this woman who relied on herself to be in charge, and knew that my son was about to be born, so she said to give the child to her." She kept saying that as long as the child was in the past, she would be happy, and gave us ten taels of silver. You don't know, our family is poor, and the child doesn't have a good life with us, so we gave it to her, who knows, who knows that she later gave us another child, saying that she would kill the child......"
Before he finished his words, he saw Zhou Yaoshi suddenly rush in front of him, his eyes were as sad as ghosts, and he gritted his teeth and asked, "What about the child, what about the child?!" β
Her appearance at this time was extremely terrifying, even Wang Lao Liu was taken aback, subconsciously swallowed his saliva, forgot the previous good words, and said: "Dead, dead." β
The next moment, I saw that Zhou Yao's knees were weak, and he immediately planted himself on the ground.
Zhou Chunhe, who was on the side, was quick to move, and directly hugged the person, and said in a deep voice: "How did you get the child, and how did he die?" β
In the past, Zhou Chunhe chose to shield Zhou Rui for the time being in the choice between his eldest son and his younger son, but now he already feels guilty about the child, and now when he hears this person's description and his wife's state, he blames himself more and more and regrets.
The eyes of the two of them were like knives, and Wang Lao Liu realized what kind of person he had provoked, plus there was still a big man in the hall with eyes like lightning, where did he dare to hide it?
At that moment, he told the previous things in full.
It turned out that as early as last year, Zheng Yuan had already gone to Zhuangzi in the countryside to look for a suitable candidate, but when she saw Wang Laoliu's daughter-in-law with a big belly, she thought about it, and first found an excuse to say that she wanted a child to be a companion to her young master, and she wanted to be born.
Later, he promised a lot of money, which caused Wang Lao Liu to move his mind, and Mao recommended himself to Zheng Yuan.
Who knew that when the child was taken away, Zheng Yuan told the truth, saying that the price of letting their son be the little master was to kill the original little master!
Wang Lao Liu owed gambling debts at that time, and his eyes were red when he lost, so Guan Zheng Yuan asked for another fifty taels, turned his head and threw the child to his daughter-in-law, and he entered the gambling house with ten taels of silver.
"Yes, the child was strangled to death by my daughter-in-law, and when I got home, she had already disposed of the child, saying that she had strangled it and thrown it to a mass grave. My lord, please be merciful, the mastermind is Zheng Yuan, and the murderer is my daughter-in-law, but I haven't done anything! β
In the end, Wang Lao Liu had already come out with joy.
Fortunately, he was thinking about going to the gambling house to turn over the book, so he didn't even want to waste the time to dispose of the little baby.
Wang Lao Liu was overjoyed, but his daughter-in-law was angry, pointed at him and scolded: "Wang Lao Liu, you are not a human, you brute!" β
It is clear that most of the money was spent by him, if she hadn't desperately protected it, where would there be twenty taels left?
But now, he has spent money to take advantage, and now he wants to push all these charges on her, what is the reason?
Seeing that the husband and wife were torn apart in the court, Qiao Chu frowned, slapped the wood in shock, and said in a deep voice: "Silence! β
As soon as the killing rod sounded, both of them were too frightened to speak anymore, and Qiao Chu asked in a deep voice: "Wang, so you killed the child?" β
Hearing his words, the woman's face was instantly frightened, but when she thought of something, her expression suddenly lit up, and she said continuously: "No, no, my lord, I didn't kill him!" β
As soon as these words came out, a flash of light burst out in Zhou Yao's originally dead eyes, and he didn't care about anything else, and asked in a trembling voice: "What about others?" β
If he hadn't been killed, would her child still be alive?
When she looked at Yao's eyes last week, the woman subconsciously shrank back, and a little regret rose in her heart.
It's a crime.
"Say!"
Qiao Chu asked in a deep voice, the woman gritted her teeth, and then she said, "I, I don't know, maybe, maybe die......"
"It's nonsense, I think you don't want to be honest, someone-"
Qiao Chu gave an order, and the surrounding officials suddenly stepped forward, and when the woman saw this, she hurriedly said, "My lord, listen to me, I really didn't kill him!" I just gave birth to a child at that time, Wang Lao Liu is not a person, he sold his own son for money, when I saw the child, I couldn't bear it, but I didn't dare to stay at home, so I took advantage of the darkness to throw the child into the mass grave, and went back only to say that he strangled ......"
She always felt palpitations when she remembered the situation that day, the whimpering on the mass grave was like a ghost crying, and the rotting corpses around her made her have nightmares when she went back.
"My man doesn't know about this, he only killed the child when I did, but I can't bear it. When I woke up from a nightmare, I felt uneasy, and the next day I went to the mass grave, thinking that if I found the child, I would take him back, and that it would be better to give him away than to die. Who knows......"
At this point, the woman did not dare to say any more.
Zhou Yao's heart was unstable by this big ups and downs, but now when he heard her words, he immediately asked sharply: "Then what?" What about children? β
What happened to her miserable child!
Zhou Yao whimpered in a low voice, and the voice was unbearable to listen to.
Her expression, as if she was asking for her life, frightened the woman to sit down on the ground, and said, "I, after I went, I found that the child was gone, but there were cotton wool scattered on the ground, like, like on a small futon. There are a lot of wild dogs and wild cats in that mass grave, I guess it...... I'm afraid I'm going to be eaten by them......"
In the latter words, the woman became more and more unconfident.
After returning from the mass grave, she couldn't sleep for several days, always feeling that she had harmed people's lives and was going to be punished.
Now, isn't it just that retribution is coming?
And Zhou Yaoshi, after hearing her words, was weak, and the whole person fainted.
"Madame, ma'am!"
Zhou Chunhe was furious, his eyes turned red again, and he said, "Come on, come on, call the doctor!" β
Gu Jiu was originally standing outside to listen to the trial, but now seeing Zhou Yao's appearance, he hurriedly walked over, and said while pinching people for her: "The Baohetang near here is my shop, and Dr. Zhao inside is good at women's diseases, so use my sign to invite people over." β
When Zhou Chunhe heard this, he hurriedly responded and let his subordinates go, and then got up again and saluted Gu Jiuchang: "Thank you for this lady's help." β
When things get like this, naturally we can't interrogate anymore.
However, the case is very clear, and there is no need for interrogation. Qiao Chu ordered someone to take the prisoner down, and at the same time, he asked someone to clean up a room inside the yamen and send Zhou Yao's there first.
Gu Jiu simply gave her a first aid, but Zhou Yao was relieved, and just at this time, the doctor also came, so Gu Jiu vacated his place and asked the doctor to go to see a doctor.
She got up, but someone grabbed her shirt.
When I looked back, it was Zhou Miao who looked at a loss.
The little girl is still young, and now that such a thing has happened, her eyes are red, and she looks very pitiful.
Seeing this, Gu Jiu sighed in his heart, and walked over and hugged her: "Don't be afraid, your sister-in-law will be fine." β
Hearing this, Zhou Miao didn't know if she heard it, but said in a low voice: "Sister Gu, I'm uncomfortable......"
I only heard my sister-in-law tell me before, and she still didn't know how cruel it was. But just after listening to those few people dog-eat-dog, she realized that her little nephew was so miserable!
Eaten by wild dogs......
As soon as she thought of this, her heart swelled, and she wanted to kill those people!
Seeing her like this, Gu Jiu touched her head and said softly: "Miao'er, you are still like this, it can be seen how uncomfortable your sister-in-law is in her heart." You're the big girl, she used to take care of you, and now it's your turn to take care of her. So, you can definitely adjust it, right? She needs you. β
Gu Jiu stood on the sidelines, unable to persuade. This is a human life, and it is such a small child, who can easily cross this hurdle?
She could only ask Zhou Miao to adjust her mentality from the perspective of the side.
Zhou Miao listened to this, gritted her teeth and nodded: "Sister Gu is right, I'm going to take care of my sister-in-law." β
Sister Gu is right, sister-in-law is still waiting to take care of herself. She can't let herself go like this!
Thinking of this, she saluted Gu Jiu solemnly and said, "Sister Gu, thank you!" β
Seeing this, Gu Jiu barely smiled, touched her head, and said, "Go ahead." β
It's just that I can't help but sigh in my heart.
It's okay for others to say, but Zhou Yao's health is not good, and after this incident, I'm afraid it's ...... Some are hanging.
The child died, and this was a trench that she couldn't cross. In the past, he could still use the search for the murderer to hang his breath, but now that the murderer has been caught, he is only waiting for the law to confess, I am afraid it will be difficult to say.
It's a mess here, Gu Jiu is an outsider in the end, and it's not easy to stay long. Therefore, seeing that the matter had stabilized, he left the Terracotta Division.
But because of this, she was a little panicked in her heart.
When Qin Zheng returned home in the evening, he saw Gu Jiu's expression was sad, and he was thinking about something.
"What's going on?"
Hearing the man's gentle voice, which was almost murmuring, Gu Jiu came back to his senses in surprise, but saw that Qin Zheng had already sat beside him at some point.
The man's eyebrows and eyes were full of doting, Gu Jiu subconsciously leaned over and hugged Qin Zheng: "The prince is back." β
Although the two of them have also blended oil in honey in the past few days, the little girl rarely takes the initiative to lean over.
And this kind of dependent action is like looking for a sense of security.
Qin Zheng's heart moved, and he held the person in his arms like a stream, and said softly: "Well, I'm back, but it's time to eat?" β
Hearing this, Gu Jiu shook his head, hugged his waist, took a deep breath, and felt solid until his nose and heart were full of Qin Zheng's taste.
"Today, I helped capture two prisoners."
She told the story of the matter, while Qin Zheng sat beside her and listened, and only after she finished speaking, did she praise seriously: "Ah Jiu is really amazing." β
His hand rubbed her hair, his palm was warm and dry, allowing Gu Jiu to rub it comfortably, and said softly: "But I'm not happyβyou say, how can there be such a bad person in this world?" β
Just because of his own selfish interests, he can stage a tanuki to change the prince, and even be so vicious that he strangled the newborn baby and threw it into a mass grave.
Although the woman did not strangle to death because of her soft-heartedness, she said that the child did not survive that night......
"Shizi, you haven't seen Zhou Yao, that's a very good person. When I saw her for the first time, I was in a trance thinking, it turns out that I look like this. She treats everyone with the greatest kindness, but how did she end up like this? β
Seeing Zhou Yao's appearance today, Gu Jiu was poked into the most secret pain in his heart for a moment.
is like himself in his previous life, he has never done bad things and never treated people badly, but how did he end up like that in the end?
Human malice is like a net, no matter where you hide, it will always lead you to hell.
She, Zhou Yao, and even Master, it seems that everyone is working hard and living kindly. However, it seems that Heaven has never given them justice, and suffering is always inflicted on them.
People always have reincarnation for good and evil, but even if good and evil are rewarded, the suffering they have suffered is still like maggots on the tarsal bones, the darkness of nightmares, and they will linger throughout their lives.
Seeing the sad face of the little girl in his arms, Qin Zheng also seemed to be worried about his heart.
He lowered his head, landed a kiss on Gu Jiu's forehead, and said softly, "Ah Jiu, do you know what the first article of the Western Chu Law is?" β
Gu Jiu shook his head in his arms, and he heard the man's voice slowly but firmly: "Ming etiquette is to guide the people, and the law is to be stubborn." We often say that justice is at ease in people's hearts, but what people's hearts can't control is the meaning of the law. You just asked me why the good people ended up like this, but what I want to tell you is that Skynet is restored and not leaked, and what we have to do is to punish the evil and promote the good, and seek justice for those good people. β
Hearing this, Gu Jiu raised his head, looked at him, pursed his lips, and said, "But how many Qin Zheng can there be in the world?" Not everyone is like the son of the world, who is completely for the people and selfless. β
Hearing her words, Qin Zheng chuckled, touched her soft hair, and felt more and more soft in his heart: "Madame is so famous, I dare not be ashamed." I'm happy, though. β
When he said this, he changed his words and continued: "It is true that as you said, not everyone in this world is the same, and that is because there are many people in this world, so there are many kinds. All people are born different, good and evil, loyal and treacherous, or shrewd philistine, or exhausted. But you must know that everything is relative, there is good and there is evil, there is loyalty and there is treachery. Some people are calculating, and some people are fulfilling their duties. However, we must not feel that there is darkness in front of us just because there are wicked people in this world who stir up the storm, because that is an injustice to those who use themselves as tinder in the dark night. β
His voice was slow but firm: "The wicked man has done evil, and although we are powerless to undo what has happened, we can prevent him from continuing to do evil; Good people are good, we can't save her from fire and water, but we can protect her from the future; There are always people in this world who are willing to fall for various reasons, but there are also many more people who are in the middle of the world and have bright hearts. Kindness is never wrong, and your kindness will always be rewarded. It's like you are to Mr. Zhuang, and he is to his mother and Lan'er, isn't it? β
Gu Jiuyuan only felt full of trepidation, but under the soothing voice of Qin Zheng, she gradually calmed down, and after he finished speaking, she was thoughtful.
"The prince is right, it's my magic barrier."
Gu Jiu lowered his eyes and smiled, let himself lean on Qin Zheng a little closer, and said softly: "When I saw such a tragic situation today, I felt a little involuntary in my heart, but I forgot that evil is never the way of the world but the hearts of the people. I can't stop them from doing evil, at least I can stick to my heart. β
As Qin Zheng said, goodness is never wrong.
In the end, she is a kind-hearted little girl, even if she is hesitant, as long as someone tells her that there is justice in this world, she will continue to believe in the light.
It's naΓ―ve and deceiving.
Qin Zheng hugged Gu Jiu, but he only felt a peace in his heart.
Compared to telling Gu Jiu how dark the nature of this world is, he would rather the little girl always be enthusiastic.
Because, those storms have him.
And she just needs to be, always like she is.
This is His light, and the light cannot be dragged into darkness.
Qin Zheng lowered his head and gave Gu Jiumei a kiss almost reverently.
"Let's go, eat."
After Qin Zheng's words, Gu Jiu's eyebrows finally brought a little smile, and the shyness brought by his kiss: "Okay." β
β¦β¦
The case of the Zhou family was closed on the second day.
There was nothing to try in this case, there were all the human and material evidence, and everyone was clear in the court.
The facts are clear, the results are clear, and the verdict is very neat.
Zheng Yuan was sentenced to be beheaded after the Autumn Queen, and Wang Laoliu was sentenced to ten years in prison for helping to steal beams and change pillars, but it was his wife Wang who was only beaten and released after being beaten fifty boards.
Wang Lao Liu was very unconvinced, but he shouted and changed the board, and was thrown into the prison with his dying breath.
Zheng Yuan is crazy.
She didn't expect that she would be empty in the end, and she didn't react until she was thrown on death row, crying and howling.
But in the end, she only got the letter from the Zhou family, and her husband, son, and relatives were all swept out of the house, and there was no place to live.
Her husband came to see Zheng Yuan, but he brought a letter of resignation, first scolded her, and then threw the letter of resignation in her face, and walked away by herself, leaving a sentence before leaving: "This child has inherited your blood and bones, and he must be a vicious character in the future, I will send it directly to your mother's house!" β
