Chapter 18: Above the Court
There was no response for a long time, Qingwan tentatively screamed a few times, but it was still fruitless, and it seemed that she would not respond.
"Qingwan, wake up!" Hexiang looked at Qingwan's cold sweat and hurriedly shouted.
All of a sudden, it was foggy, Qingwan heard the call, struggling to wake up, the dazzling sunlight poured into her eyes, and she squinted her eyes for a long time before she got used to it.
"Hexiang? How are you. See who it is, Qingwan asked.
Hexiang breathed a sigh of relief when she woke up, and hurriedly asked, "Are you okay, but you have a nightmare?" Look at the way you are in pain, and you are sweating a lot. ”
"It's okay, I had a nightmare, what time is it?" Qingwan couldn't see the sun clearly, and could only feel that the sun was very strong.
He Xiang walked a few steps to the window, and then said: "It's almost time, you have been asleep for a long time, if it wasn't for Brother Wu Wen saying to let you sleep more, I would have woken you up a long time ago." ”
"Where did he go?" Qingwan asked.
In the past, he was like this, always letting himself sleep until he woke up naturally, but most of his own training had to get up early, so he didn't develop the habit of sleeping lazy.
"I don't know, he just said that he left you porridge so that you remember to drink it warm." Hexiang pointed to the porridge on the table and said.
"Okay, you wait, I'll go wash up." Qingwan took advantage of the time to talk to clean herself up, and continued.
Before Qingwan walked into the courtyard, he heard the noise of a group of people.
"My lord, this is it!" Mrs. Qin led the way in front and said.
Qingwan looked outside, and Mrs. Qin led a group of catchers over, followed by a group of people watching the excitement.
Hexiang followed after hearing the movement, and hurriedly asked after seeing it clearly: "What's going on, why did the old woman bring the people from the official mansion?" ”
Qingwan originally thought about opening the lotus incense after washing up and going to the martial arts house to see the situation, but she didn't think that Qin Pozi was so fast, and she blamed herself for sleeping until now.
Holding Hexiang's hand and said: "This matter is a little troublesome, I can't tell you clearly for a while, you remember not to go out, when Wu Wen comes back, you have to tell him everything he saw." ”
"But you ......," Hexiang looked at Qingwan worriedly.
Qingwan pushed her back into the house, shook her head comfortingly, and then walked over.
"You are Lin Qingjuan?" One of the leaders saw Qingwan and asked.
Qingwan swept down Mrs. Qin with cold eyes, so frightened that Mrs. Qin shrunk her neck, then turned around and said with a smile: "I am." ”
"Your mother-in-law accused you of the crime of unfilial piety and murder, can you admit it?" Caught up and asked routinely, in fact, whether you admit it or not, this court will always have to go through it.
"Official, is there some misunderstanding?" The village chief rushed over when he heard the wind, and asked with his head bowed to the catcher.
Zhu Kuai seemed to know the village chief, and said with some embarrassment: "Whether this matter is a misunderstanding or not has to be decided by the county master, don't embarrass me." ”
"Official, what do you see?" Seeing this, the village chief hurriedly stuffed some silver and asked flatteringly.
The catcher quickly accepted the money, looked at Mrs. Qin, and then said: "This Mrs. Qin sued his son that the second daughter-in-law was unfilial. also said that her second daughter-in-law wanted to kill her, and now the county magistrate already knows. ”
After speaking, the head catcher looked around and said in a low ear: "You also know that the most annoying thing about the county lord on weekdays is unfilial people, I'm afraid it's not easy to get it." ”
The implication is that he can't do anything, and the village chief can only look at Qin Pozi when he sees this, as long as she doesn't tell her, there will be a place for this matter to return.
"Mrs. Qin, we all see how Qingwan treats you, where will it be an unfilial person, let alone kill someone, you have something to say, I will call the shots for you.
No matter how bad it is, I will promise you, if they don't listen, you just ask me, and I will not refuse. The village chief looked at Mrs. Qin and said in a harmonious voice.
Qin Pozi has the support of people in the government, and she is even more proud.
Pointing directly at the village chief, he said, "You call the shots for me?" Bah! Who doesn't know that you are biased towards the two of them, what county magistrate will judge, and it is your turn to make irresponsible remarks. ”
"You ......" There is a saying that Xiu only met a soldier, and he couldn't explain it clearly, and he didn't want to say a word in front of the village chief, and he couldn't reply to a shrew like Qin Pozi.
Qingwan saw everything in her eyes, and when she saw that there was no place to discuss, she took over and said, "What my mother-in-law said is true!" It's just that everything has to pay attention to evidence, I don't know what evidence my mother-in-law has! ”
There is no evidence, I want to see what you can do to me, I don't believe it, I can still fold it in your hands, fortunately, Coco Wu is not at home, as long as he is not involved, it will be a big deal for him to escape from prison.
"Proof! There is naturally evidence in the court. Mrs. Qin said confidently.
Qingwan looked at Mrs. Qin, thinking in her heart, it seems that even if there is no evidence, she will not be able to escape this prison disaster, but I don't know who this Mrs. Qin has bought?
can only find out who this person is in court, and then Qingwan said: "Okay, I'll go with you." ”
"Qingwan, where is the prison where people can enter? You can't be rash. When the village chief heard this, he hurriedly came over and whispered.
Qingwan looked at the village chief gratefully and said, "I accepted the village chief's kindness for Wu Wen, but is there any other choice at this time?" ”
"......," the village chief sighed helplessly.
No, now that Mrs. Qin has made up her mind, the county magistrate has spoken, and the situation is unclear, she has to go this way, otherwise she will be dragged until Wu Wen comes back, I am afraid it will be worse.
"Come on, take it away!" Seeing this, the head catcher directly asked people to step forward and take Qingwan to the court.
I was really afraid of something, at this critical moment, Wu Wen came back, squeezed through the crowd and said, "Slow! ”
Wu Wen went directly to the Wu family after finishing his work, and wanted to find his mother to explain everything clearly, threaten it, and solve the troubles in the future.
I didn't expect that the martial arts family saw Da Lang spitting and spitting, and only then did he know about it under duress, and hurriedly ran to his home, and heard this sentence as soon as he arrived at the door.
When Qingwan saw Wu Wen, he hurriedly shook his head and asked him not to come, but it was useless.
"Who are you?" When the head catcher heard the sound of stopping, he scolded him very unhappily.
Coco Wu walked up to Qingwan, protected her and said, "I'm the person she wants to sue, Coco Wu." ”
"It's you, you're sincere!" The head catcher looked at Wu Wen's defensive movements and said with a smile.
As soon as Qin Pozi saw Wu Wen take a few steps back, she swallowed back the words she wanted to speak.
"You two can plead guilty?" The head catcher looked at the two people in front of him and asked.
Qingwan was tightly pulled by Wu Wen, not letting her move forward, and said first: "Everything is done by me alone, and it has nothing to do with Qingwan." ”
"You talk nonsense! It's obviously her ......" Qin Pozi hurriedly said when she heard this, and was stunned by Wu Wen, and did not continue.
The head catcher looked at the two of them suspiciously, but did not speak.
"Coco Wu, you don't know anything, what kind of crime do you confess indiscriminately!" Qingwan looked at him and asked, her eyes full of warning.
"That's it! I don't have time to listen to your arguments, hurry up, which of you goes, or do you go together? Catcher said impatiently.
"I'll go." Qingwan hurriedly stepped forward and said, but he was hit by a stone from where he hit the acupuncture point and fainted.
Wu Wen reached out to catch Qingjuan, and then looked at the catcher: "I'll send her back to the room and I'll go with you." ”
The catcher was not an unreasonable person, and nodded in agreement.
Above the court.
"Mighty!"
Above the main hall, the county magistrate was dressed in an official uniform, sitting in a precarious position, raising his hand to knock on the startling wood, and shouting, so majestic!
"Who's in the hall!"
"The villain is Mrs. Qin from Lintang Village." Mrs. Qin knelt down and hurriedly said.
The county master glanced at Wu Wen and asked, "You!" Why don't you talk back? ”
"Coco Wu." Wu Wen glanced at the county master and replied slightly.
The county magistrate looked at Wu Wen, who did not kneel, frowned slightly, but didn't say anything.
Just looked at Mrs. Qin and asked, "You sued this person for not keeping filial piety and wanted to kill you, but there is any physical evidence?" ”
"This ...... My eldest son and daughter-in-law were all there at the time. Mrs. Qin dodged and said, "County master, you don't know, since my rebel son married a new daughter-in-law, he ...... He doesn't care if I'm alive or dead!
I didn't have any food, so I went to his house a few times to ask for it, but he didn't want to give me anything, I couldn't get angry, so I said that I would go to the government to sue him, but I was there at night......"
Mrs. Qin was about to say that the slut threatened her, but she was so frightened by Wu Wen's terrifying eyes that she swallowed it.
"Go on!" The county master glanced at Wu Wen with dissatisfaction, and then said.
Mrs. Qin shrank and nodded, "I saw my son sneaking into my room and saying that if I ...... If you dare to sue the government, you will kill me......"
The county magistrate hated this unfilial person, and when he heard this, he believed it a little, and his eyes became very unkind when he looked at Wu Wen, I really didn't expect to see this person's upright appearance, but he was a human-faced beast!
"The one who is accused, don't kneel down yet!" The county master shouted at the moment, and Wu Wen glanced at him meaninglessly, and then he lifted his robe and knelt down.
Seeing Wu Wen kneeling, the county master's face softened a little and asked, "Are you guilty!" ”
"I don't know! My lord Mingjian, since Wu Wen returned home, the only surplus food was divided by his mother several times.
Recently, she has been relying on wild vegetables for food, and there is no food or silver for her. Besides, the crime of murder is determined by the words of one person, I am afraid that it is unfair! ”
Wu Wen replied, neither humble nor arrogant, with a straight back, although kneeling in the hall, he had a courage that people could not ignore.
"County master, don't listen to his nonsense, I've been a month, and he didn't give me any food.
Originally, I thought he was having a hard time, but if you look at his face, he looks like a man who eats wild vegetables! As soon as Mrs. Qin saw that the county master was about to believe it, she hurriedly said.
The county magistrate pondered for a while, then looked at Mrs. Qin and said, "What you said, can there be any physical evidence?" ”
When Mrs. Qin heard this, what kind of physical evidence was there, and it was too late to escape, so she could only reply: "Go back to the county master, I was patronizing my life at that time, where did the physical evidence come from."
However, last night, my eldest son and daughter-in-law all knew, and they could testify! “
