Chapter 19: Confession of Guilt

Wu Wen glanced at Mrs. Qin, and immediately replied: "The county master clearly saw that my daughter-in-law was by my side last night, and I didn't go out all night, and she also knew." ”

"Can you believe your daughter-in-law's words? It's clear that the two of you are teaming up to bully me, this old woman! When Mrs. Qin heard this, she beat her chest and cried bitterly.

The county magistrate has always hated unfilial people.

An insider said that in the years when he left home, his mother died because of the unfilial piety of his younger brother and sister-in-law, and that unfilial piety has become an obsession in his heart.

This charge cannot be established without evidence, but what the woman said is indeed true, and no one has singled out the fault.

In addition, he had just witnessed Wu Wen's eyes threatening Qin Pozi. At that moment, the county magistrate thought about it for a while, and included Wu Wen in the ranks of sinners.

He didn't interrogate anymore, and directly knocked on the shocked wood and shouted at Wu Wen: "The crime that Mrs. Qin said, you don't recruit it!" ”

"No recruitment!" Wu Wen sneered and denied it directly.

is so arbitrary to want to make himself confess, without asking for human and material evidence, and not summoning witnesses to court, he is really worthy of the black gauze hat on his head!

When the county magistrate heard this, his face darkened, and he shouted directly: "Someone! Torture! ”

Seeing this, Mrs. Qin smiled proudly, touched the eyes of the county master, and quickly lowered her head, but her heart was happy.

I'll see if she dares to go against me without you protecting that slut!

Several officials quickly moved the bench up, and one left and one right were about to pull Wu Wen to lie on his stomach and hit the board.

"Wait!" Wu Wen pushed away the servant, stood up and asked, "If there is no evidence, will the county magistrate be beaten into a trick and force people to draw a detention?" ”

As soon as he heard this, the county magistrate panicked, he couldn't afford this crime.

Fortunately, he was also prepared, did not let people watch, looked at the officials around him, and saw that no one questioned it, so he nodded with satisfaction.

"What are you doing! Don't go to prison soon! The county magistrate ignored Wu Wen, threw a token, and said to the officer.

Wu Wen looked at the county magistrate with a cold look in his eyes, and said that this county magistrate is a rare parent official, and now it is just like that, and he will be convicted with just a few words, is it difficult for someone to ......

Wu Wen turned to the county master and said, "No need to use the punishment, I will recruit it!" ”

"Humph! Take it down and wait for it to fall! The county lord snorted coldly and said.

I thought it was a man, but I didn't expect it to be shocked after a few clicks on the board, what a waste!

Turning his head to look at Mrs. Qin, the county magistrate directly patted the shocked wood and said, "Retreat!" ”

"County master, is this the end?" When Mrs. Qin heard this, she hurriedly asked, this is different from what she thought before, what is his family property must not be kept for himself?

The county magistrate asked puzzledly: "Now that you have pleaded guilty and put people in prison, what do you want to do?" ”

"This ...... What do I eat and drink after that? When Mrs. Qin heard this, she immediately became angry, but the person in front of her was the county master, so she didn't dare to shout loudly, so she could only ask in a low voice.

When the county magistrate heard this, he thought for a while and said: "You just said that you have an eldest son, presumably someone raised him, as for the second son, you can ask your village chief and discuss." ”

"This ......" Mrs. Qin wanted to say something more, but was stopped by the officials, and seeing that the county master had gone down to court, Mrs. Qin spat fiercely.

The news that Wu Wen confessed his guilt and was imprisoned soon reached the ears of the village chief, so he hurriedly prepared some courtesies and inquired about the previous arrester.

"Brother, it's not that I don't help you, you also know the temperament of this county master, it's very axial." After listening to the meaning, the head catcher said helplessly.

The head catcher came from a neighboring village, and he was a little related to the village chief, but he didn't usually move around, but now he relied on the affection of those old people and asked with an old face.

The village chief was also panicked when he heard this, why did this Wu Wen have such a mother, and a good young man would be in prison now?

"In your opinion, how should this crime be sentenced?" The village chief inquired about the headcatcher.

The head catcher looked around and said in a low voice: "Today, the county master has no verdict, but I inquired from the master, and I am afraid that the sentence is not light, ten or twenty years is just a sentence." ”

"Ten years, twenty years! This is just a crime of unfilial piety, where can it be so heavy? The village chief asked in astonishment.

I am also a person who has read books for a few years and has taken the Xiucai exam, although I don't know the specific regulations, but it's just a crime of unfilial piety, where can I use squatting for so many years.

The head catcher hurriedly blocked the village chief's mouth and motioned him to be quieter, and then explained: "If it's really unfilial, it's okay to say, no matter how unhappy the county master is, he has to weigh it."

The problem is that there is also a charge of intentional murder of the mother! An unhappy verdict can be asked after the autumn. ”

When the village chief heard this, his heart suddenly cooled half, how can this be good?

Now I can only hope that the county master can raise his noble hand, at least save his life, and let Wu Wen and her daughter-in-law have a hope, and she can only try her best to take care of it.

"Brother, who are you?" The head catcher was puzzled and asked.

The village chief shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter, but I've seen it since I was a child." That kid has a little backbone, he knows a lot, and he also has a little sympathy. ”

"In this way, don't worry, wait for the verdict, I'll bring you a letter." The head catcher thought for a while and said.

The village chief nodded, now this can be like this, thank you for the head catcher at the moment, and then rush to Qingwan's house, there are still people waiting for news.

Walking to Qingwan's house, the village chief didn't know whether to say it or not, this Wu Wen and her daughter-in-law fainted and just woke up, in case she couldn't stand it, there would be another good ......

"Lotus fragrance!" Seeing Hexiang come out, the village chief hurriedly shouted.

It was a little dark at night, and Hexiang didn't see who it was for a while, but when she got closer, she saw that it was the village chief, opened the door and said, "Is there any news from Brother Wu Wen?" ”

"If you are imprisoned, it is very likely that you will be sentenced to ten or twenty years, and you may not be able to come back." The village chief said with a headache,

The village chief thought to himself, this prison is something that people can stay in, saying that it is ten or twenty years, but in case he can't stand the torture inside......

When Hexiang heard this, her angry eyelids jumped, and she asked directly, "Is there no way?" What the hell is going on, our village is looking at it, and it is clear that Mrs. Qin is deceiving people too much! ”

"We know what's the use! The county lord doesn't believe it! The village chief replied helplessly.

"Okay, let's go in, you find a chance to talk about it, don't irritate her, I'll go back first."

The village chief thought about it but didn't say it, thinking of the fact that Qin Pozi came to make trouble, he still pressed it.

"There is Village Chief Lao, this is what Sister-in-law Qingwan asked me to give you." Hexiang handed the village chief a money bag and said.

The village chief's face flickered, and he pushed over and scolded: "When I am someone, now that Wu Wen is using money at this time, you can take it back quickly." ”

"No, Qingwan must be given to you by me, I'll put it here." Hexiang was worried that Qingwan couldn't think about it for a while, so she put down the money bag and hurried in.

Qingwan had been standing by the window and watching, and when she saw Hexiang coming in, she asked, "What did the village chief say?" ”

Hexiang leaned to the window and saw that the village chief had accepted the money bag, so she breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at Qingwan with an embarrassed look when she heard the words.

"Anyway, I can bear it." Qingwan sensed Hexiang's scruples and said.

Qingwan knew that there was no good result at a glance, and scolded the bastard fiercely in her heart.

I don't know if the county magistrate will recognize him, so he just stood up and replaced his crime.

Hexiang took Qingwan's hand and said carefully: "Then I said, don't get excited." ”

Seeing that Qingwan's expression was not abnormal, Hexiang continued: "The village chief said that it will take at least ten or twenty years. ”

"Is it still possible to ask the right question?" Qingwan asked with a smile.

The tears that will not fall fill the eyes, and with the hooked corners of the mouth, not to mention how ugly it is.

Hexiang was so frightened by her that she was about to cry, and it was better to cry than to endure it like this.

can only persuade: "Qingxuan, don't think things so badly, maybe Brother Wu will be able to come back tomorrow." ”

Qingwan nodded, no matter how sad he was, he couldn't fall now, if he gave up, no one would save him, ten years...... She is reluctant to do it, and she does not allow it.

"Go back, it's getting dark." Qingwan thought for a long time, and it was going to be dark again, and said to Hexiang.

Hexiang had just finished cooking the porridge, and when she heard the words, she said, "I'm not leaving, Huzi said, let me stay with you." ”

"Silly girl, what are you doing with me?" Qingwan asked with a reluctant smile.

Hexiang didn't answer, just brought a bowl of porridge over and motioned for her to drink, but Qingwan didn't drink it, so she kept holding it.

What a stubborn person, Qingwan sighed, and could only bring it over and drink it spoonful.

Raise your spirits, tomorrow will be busy, she only blames herself for being here for so long now, and she hasn't done anything.

If he had established his own power earlier, he would not even know who to ask for help now.

"Qingwan, you won't be unable to think about it, will you?" Hexiang hesitated and asked this sentence.

Hearing this, Qingwan smiled, and said in her heart: Is she so fragile?

Putting down the spoon, Qingwan said seriously: "No, if I die, who will save ......"

"Phew! What is not dead, no nonsense! Hexiang hurriedly covered Qingwan's mouth and didn't allow her to say any more.

But I was relieved in my heart, as long as I lived, there was hope when I lived.

Qingwan snorted like a lotus fragrance, and was let go.

This night, Qingwan stood at the table to write and draw for a long time, thought of a few feasible plans and wrote them down, ready to try them tomorrow.

It was late at night after the busyness, but Qingwan didn't feel sleepy. She stood by the window with a dress draped on, watching the bright moonlight fill the courtyard.

I can't help but think: how good it would be if he was there, and I don't know what happened to him at this time, has he been beaten?

Unconsciously rising, Qingwan didn't go back, just simply ate some food, and went to the Xile Teahouse, and I didn't know if I could see the fourth aunt.

"Guest officer, please come here!" The shopkeeper saw Qingwan hurriedly greeted him and led him inside.

Qingwan stood up and looked at the layout of the entire store, pointed to a corner of the second floor and asked, "Is there anyone sitting there?" ”
