"Mother-in-law, grandson and concubine are all telling the truth, and of course the testimony is word for word." Under Zhao Zhouzun's voice like a bell, Zhang could still quibble.

"It has been more than half a year since the incident, and you yourself admitted earlier that you did not interrogate the wine, food and drink that night in the first trial, and it is reasonable that you can't remember it clearly for a while, but it is precisely because you remember it too clearly that this official has suspicions!" Zhao Zhouzun glanced at Hu Duan, but he was not in a hurry to debunk it because of his prompt, but because of this, whether it was Tang Wei, the patrol who could intervene in this case, or Yan Jingyu and others, who were just watching the trial, they all reflected that the confessions of the three witnesses were highly consistent, which was also too unreasonable.

Earlier, Zhang's words had obviously been deceived, but at the critical moment, Hu Duan reminded him that this collusion and instigation happened in full view of everyone, and it became more and more implausible that the testimony of Wu Ergui and his gang was very untrustworthy.

"This official suspects that the suspects Wu Ergui and Zhang's colluded to frame the eldest sister-in-law Jiang to kill her husband, according to the suspicions during the trial, Zhang's words changed several times, and decided to punish Zhang's with a finger first!" Zhao Zhouzun put on more and more official authority, and threw out an order sign.

Where did Hu Duan dare to question at this time? He could only watch Zhang being dragged away with a gloomy face, and after a while, Zhang's screams came, and he could only pray secretly, hoping that this woman still understood that she was powerful, and she had a bit of rigidity to withstand this torture.

"Spread Wu Concubine again!" Zhao Zhouzun ordered again.

This time Mrs. Wu was brought to the hall again, although she was still allowed to sit down, but she listened to Zhang's screams with her own ears, and couldn't help but start to tremble, even the eldest daughter-in-law who had been hated and cursed by her knelt beside her, and Mrs. Wu couldn't care about glaring angrily, she had never comprehended the danger of the court as at this moment, and when Hu Tongju was the chief judge, she never worried that she would be punished.

Can it be ...... now Zhang has already been tortured, can she escape?

It's just that Zhao Zhou treats her with respect and such courtesy, even if this old woman still has the courage to play tricks, she is a little unable to do anything at this time - it was the Zhang family who was tortured, and in Wu Lao Niang's opinion, she also deserved to die well, why did she bother to offend the state for the sake of the Zhang family, and risk that she would be beaten?

"Concubine Wu doesn't need to be afraid, as long as you confess truthfully, this official will not use torture against the elderly woman." Zhao Zhouzun was the usual first to appease, and then asked: "This official asks you, where did you have dinner on the day your eldest son Wu Dagui was killed?" ”

Because of seeing Zhao Zhouzun's and pleasant face, Wu Lao Niang's trembling and conscientiousness were really eased, and this detail was not within the scope of the confession, she was completely unprepared, and opened her mouth to tell the truth: "When my son Dagui was alive, the old woman lived with him, and of course it was dinner at the eldest son's house that night, but Dagui was not at home, he was called by Ergui to drink, and Ergui felt guilty because of the conflict with his brother earlier, and that night he intended to make up for the relationship between the brothers." ”

"That being the case, why does Wu Yu know everything about the wine and food prepared by Wu Ergui?" Zhao Zhouzun asked.

Mrs. Wu suddenly opened her mouth.

Hu Duan saw that the situation was not good, but he didn't dare to open his mouth to prompt in front of everyone, so he had to look at Liu Ba again and again, and Liu Ba, as a mere official, had no room for him to intervene when Zhou Zun personally presided over the criminal case, but when he thought that if this case really came out, he would definitely be the first to be questioned, and even Hu Tong's sentence would be difficult to protect himself, who could be his backer?

Liu Ba had no choice but to bite the bullet and say: "Isn't this old woman having a bad memory, Wu Ergui wants to reconcile with his brother, so he should invite his mother to testify, so that the family is happy." ”

Mrs. Wu really changed her words: "Exactly, it is indeed the old woman who has a bad memory when she is old, and her memory is bad for a while." ”

Zhao Zhouzun couldn't help frowning, although he was a little heartfelt tolerant because of Wu Laoniang's status as "respectful elder", and thought that although Wu Laoniang was suspected of harboring Wu Ergui, in view of the ethics of mother-son affection and the law of intimacy and concealment, it was not an unforgivable crime, but in the end, Wu Laoniang's behavior still hindered judicial fairness, which can be forgiven but should not be respected, not to mention that repeatedly listening to Hu Duan's abuse made Zhao Zhouzun lose patience with her.

However, there is no threat of torture.

"Bring someone to witness Wu Yunkang to court."

Listening to Zhao Zhouzun's order, not only Hu Duan, Liu Ba and others changed their expressions greatly, but even Wu Lao Niang jumped up from the chair in shock, staring at one side with wide eyes, and when she saw that her grandson, who thought she had suffered an accident, was unscathed, Wu Lao Niang was surprised and delighted and couldn't help but burst into tears, she shook her arms with her legs and feet, her eyes were red and she moved forward, touched her grandson's cheek, and hugged Yun Kang into her arms, regardless of whether this was still in the court, it was a cry of pain.

"Brother Kang, my Brother Kang, are you really saved? It's really blessed by the gods and ancestors, it's good that you're safe, it's good that you're still alive! ”

"Grandmother, grandchildren can be safe, grandmother should know that it is extremely difficult, and grandchildren can be safe this time, maybe they can escape the poison of their uncle next time!"

In less than a year, Wu Xiaolang almost suffered a catastrophe of family ruin, although he was still at a clumsy age, but because of the catastrophe he became more calm and tenacious, he did not soften his heart because of his grandmother's crying, but left no room for public accusations that his uncle harbored evil intentions for him.

But Wu Xiaolang never fell into the water at all, let alone knew about the plot between his uncle and aunt, and his rhetoric was also instructed by Lan Ting.

Although Chungui did not tell the truth about what he knew about the snooping of the canal, Lan Ting had always been wary of Wu Ergui, and arranged for people to keep an eye on him left and right, and found that when Wu Ergui followed Wu Xiaolang and stepped on the Yangcheng River several times, Lan Ting was already sure that he was planning to cut the grass and eradicate the roots and kill people. Although Lan Ting said that he could want to capture the old man and set up a trap to catch him and seize him while Wu Ergui was doing it, but he asked Wu Xiaolang who was not familiar with water, if Wu Xiaolang was bait, there was still a certain risk, if Wu Xiaolang had a case, even if Wu Ergui deserved Jiang's grievances, but Jiang had no pillar to live after experiencing the loss of his husband and son, which was by no means what Lan Ting was happy to see.

He couldn't take this risk and reckless of his life, so he chose to take the first step to cause Wu Xiaolang's accident of "falling into the water", but he hid him and let him appear during the court trial, so as to catch Hu Duan off guard.

"Witness Wu Yunkang, this official asks about the case, you can guarantee to answer truthfully." Zhao Zhouzun lightly struck the startled wood, blocking the cry of Wu Lao Niang and her grandson's flesh and blood/reunion.

"Yes, Xiaomin Wu Yunkang promised to answer truthfully." Although he is even shorter than Wu Lao Niang, and his voice when he speaks is not childish, Wu Xiaolang still tries to make his performance in the court look more calm and calm, he remembers the teachings of Lan Ting and Mr. Yin, and even Uncle Hua, if he behaves clumsy and weak, then the confession will be rejected as a child's words, he has no way to hold the real culprit for his father's tragic death, nor can he rescue his mother from the death prison, from the day his father died tragically, he can no longer be a child, He had to be the support of his mother and sister, and he had to be the pillar of the family after his father.

So even if he is sad and angry, even if he is nervous, even if he is still a little afraid, he must straighten his spine to cover it up, and he can't let Hu Tong judge this corrupt official see his weaknesses!

"On the day of the crime, do you remember where your father Wu Dagui and your grandmother Wu Yu had dinner?"

Hearing this question, Wu Xiaolang almost never hesitated: "Xiaomin remembers clearly, grandmother and father had dinner with A-Niang, Xiaomin and A-Mei, a family of five at their own home that day. ”

"And do you remember the meal that night?"

"I don't remember anything else, only a red stewed fish, that is the last time Xiaomin's father fished back from the Yangcheng River, Xiaomin's mother cooked it by himself for the last time, Xiaomin and his sister after that day, thought that they could no longer eat the fish that Daddy caught by himself, they couldn't help but hug their heads and cry, in order to comfort their sister, Xiaomin often went to Yangcheng River to catch fish, because Xiaomin has not learned to fish...... At first, I couldn't catch fish and shrimp, but then a kind uncle and neighbor taught Xiaomin how to get off the net, and Xiaomin finally got something, but Xiaomin didn't know how to cook, and only cooked a pot of soup indiscriminately...... My sister and Xiaomin miss their parents almost while eating, so even if it has been a long time, they have never forgotten the dinner of the family reunion on the last day, and the fish caught by Daddy himself, and A-Niang cooked it in a red stew. ”

Although he tried his best to remind himself to be calm, recalling the family's last supper before the catastrophe, Wu Xiaolang's eyes still couldn't help but be full of tears.

It also caused a sigh of embarrassment from onlookers.

Although the confessions of Jiang and Wu Xiaolang's mother and son are not completely consistent, Jiang claims that he can't remember the food that night, but because it has been a long time since the incident, and he has experienced so many disasters, Jiang's "can't remember" is reasonable, and Wu Xiaolang's emotional confession makes his "only memory" reasonable.

There are even those hot-blooded Confucian scholars who have expressed their support: "We believe Wu Xiaolang's confession even more, and believe that the deceased Wu Dagui never left his house on the night of the crime, and his wife Jiang could not have committed adultery with a foreign man at all!" ”
