Aunt Mei was tried again, because the weather was hot and the prison was not ventilated, and her tortured feet were badly ulcerated.

She must be dragged by the jailer to come to the court, otherwise she will not be able to move an inch.

The law of the Great Zhou Dynasty has a stipulation: all lawsuits for human life must be tried at least three times, and the reasons must be clarified and not judged in vain.

In the first two interrogations, Aunt Mei refused to admit her guilt to death.

Lord Yang came to collect evidence, and secondly, to make up enough for three classes, so he did not torture to extract confessions.

At the third trial, without waiting for the lawyer to speak, Lord Yang took the lead in throwing out three questions.

"Mei, so far, there are three things that need to be explained clearly by you."

Aunt Mei sat on her knees, the pain tortured her day and night, and the food in the prison was very poor, but she was already thin and out of appearance after a few days.

Listening to Lord Yang's words, she nodded a little weakly.

"First, according to Miss Wei Si's maidservant Chunlan, when Miss Fourth asked you about your cousin's family, you lied and said that Mei Sangui had died a long time ago. In fact, he did not die, and later disguised himself as a mad Taoist priest to deceive Miss Wei into buying his poison with a lot of money. You said you didn't conspire with them to frame Miss Wei Si, so why did you lie? ”

"That's because I hate him and want to curse him to death! He was the one who sold me back then, and he blackmailed me again and again after that, shouldn't he be dead? Aunt Mei gritted her teeth, almost chewing every word before saying it.

"The second thing, I want to ask you, there is a blind old man in the courtyard of Peach Blossom Alley rented by Mei Sangui's wife, he said that Mei Sangui's wife lived in not long ago, and a carriage had come there. Although he could not see, he would always remember if he heard this man speak. He said that it was a woman who got out of the carriage and said when she entered the hospital, 'This place is really messy.'

Now, I have sent someone to bring this old man to the yamen, and I will ask him to bring him to the hall in a moment, so that he can identify whether the person who went there that day is you.

Of course, for the sake of fairness, I will call a few more female prisoners to the hall so that he can carefully identify them from among the few of you. ”

After a while, the jailer took five more female prisoners and knelt there in a line.

Then he brought the blind old man to the hall.

Lord Yang said: "It's Zheng Blind who went to the court? ”

The old man hurriedly replied: "If you go back to the old man, the little old man is exactly." ”

His real surname is Zheng, and because he was born blind, he is called "blind".

When he was young, he made a living by walking the streets and alleys and selling hexagrams, and he had no family, and when he was old, he accepted an apprentice, and he was also an orphan with no father and no mother.

Fortunately, his apprentice is very filial and has always been raised as a father.

But they are all poor, and they are just renting a dilapidated house, and the master and apprentice depend on each other for their lives.

This Zheng blind child is too old to see, and his legs and feet are not good, so he stays in the courtyard all day long.

People only regarded him as blind and old, and only breathed more than rotten wood, and never regarded him as a human being.

"Zheng Blind, there are six women in the hall, I asked them to speak one by one, you need to listen carefully and recognize that person."

"Don't worry, little old man, you must listen carefully." Zheng Blind Er agreed.

Each of these six female prisoners had to say the phrase "this place is really messy" again.

Aunt Mei was third, and she deliberately lowered her voice, thinking that she would be able to get through it.

Who thought that Zheng Blind heard it, and hurriedly said: "That's the voice!" It's a little lower and dumber than that day, but you can't go wrong. ”

In order to carefully verify, Lord Yang adjusted the order of several female prisoners again, and deliberately left Aunt Mei at the end, but she was still recognized.

When Aunt Mei went to see her cousin-in-law, she deliberately wore a hat, thinking it was very secretive.

Who wants God to have his own arrangement, this Zheng Blind Er just remembers the voice.

"What do you say?" Feng Xiongbi couldn't help but jump forward and said.

Aunt Mei looked at him deeply and did not speak.

"There is a third thing," Lord Yang asked someone to take the other female prisoners and Zheng Blind Er down, and continued to say to Aunt Mei: "Your little girl Xi'er once confessed in the hall, saying that you instigated Wei Chang'an, the eldest young master of the Zhiyong Mansion, and asked him to insult the maid Chunying. You said that you have no grudge against Mrs. Bao and no grudge against Miss Four, so how can this matter be explained? ”

Aunt Mei smiled faintly, reached out and slowly tucked a strand of hair from her sideburns behind her ear, the tips of her fingers were very cold, touching the skin behind her ear, reminding her of the first time she served Wei Zongyong when she was young.

She wore a pink skirt that day, and a butterfly velvet flower on her sideburns.

Because it was winter, there were no flowers to wear.

She remembered that her palms were sweaty that day, but her fingertips were cold.

She didn't dare to look up.

Later, she maintained a bowed posture in the Zhiyong Mansion all the year round, in front of the old lady, in front of Wei Zongyong and the Bao family, and in front of the young masters.

Now, she doesn't want to bow her head, even if she goes to court, she has to hold her head high.

"Wei Chang'an killed Chunying," Aunt Mei's voice was unprecedentedly high-pitched: "He has been thinking about that girl for a long time, but Chunying Qiao is arrogant, how can he not make him angry?" Wei Changan has always been arrogant, he will not take a girl in his eyes, he is officially at the age of blood and strength, how can a cat not steal meat. ”

"Then you are tantamount to admitting that you have a grudge against the Bao family, and you have a motive to murder Wei Yiwan." Lord Yang interrupted her.

Aunt Mei breathed a sigh of relief and raised her head higher: "Bao Yuxiu, that slut!" ”

Yuxiu is Bao's maiden name.

"She never looked at me and my children as human beings! She treated me like a pig and a dog, and I drank it for decades! At the beginning, she deliberately asked people to see that I didn't have a suitable male appearance before the lord accepted me, and after I was pregnant with two children, she asked someone to give me the pulse several times, and concluded that I was pregnant with a daughter before I was born. My daughter has been revolving around her children since she was a child, and her children have treated my children like pigs and dogs! ”

Aunt Mei burst into tears, and she poured out her resentment that she had suppressed for many years in the court: "In that family, I am not as good as a face-wrenching mother-in-law." I thought that I would compromise for the omnipotence in exchange for peace, but later I found out that this was simply impossible. The Bao family used a trick to ruin my daughter's marriage, and I will use a trick to kill her daughter! Don't be happy, everyone! ”

"So you admit that you and Mei Sangui and his wife framed Wei Yiwan?" Lord Yang asked.

"Even if I don't admit it, can I still get out?" Aunt Mei smiled bitterly: "If you admit it, you can die more happily." Otherwise, they will be detained in prison for many years and suffer alive. ”

After Aunt Mei said this, her face was calm.

She knew that her mission was accomplished, and that it was time for her life to end.

In the past, she refused to admit her guilt, firstly because there was not enough evidence to crucify her, and secondly, she had to delay time.

Now that Bao's slut is almost finished, she has nothing to scrupulously about.

According to the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty, as long as prisoners who plead guilty to the law, especially those on death row, they will be given a certain degree of preferential treatment after signing and drawing the detention.

Aunt Mei felt that she was not at a loss, she hated Mei Sangui and Wei Yiwan the most, and they all died in front of her.

Of course, there is also Bao's, and the gas is about to run out.
