How difficult the Wu family's case can be, of course, when the day comes, it will be enough to pull Wu Shangshu and Xiaohu's father-in-law out for trial.

Guo Peng actually did a great job, really put the two in prison, let Wu Shangshu commit suicide to prove his innocence, and the Wu family could be saved to the greatest extent, but he didn't allow the two to commit suicide, of course, he also prevented someone from killing Xiaohu's father-in-law.

So, when the two people who had been locked up for so long came to the hall together, both of them looked very decadent. Anyway, the plaintiff is not like the plaintiff, and the defendant is not like the defendant. are all worn out of temper.

Of course, the first to speak was the plaintiff, and what Xiaohu's father-in-law said was no different in the palace, but he just listened to his mother's last words and said that there was no evidence. Angry Dali Temple really blows his beard. Turning to Wu Shangshu, he didn't have to kneel, Shangshu was a second-class product, and before he was convicted, his rank was still there.

After listening to the testimony of Xiaohu's father-in-law, Wu Shangshu didn't speak, Wu Tianyi jumped out, you don't, we have, for example, we found out the original Wu family's account books, on the account books, the Wu family really didn't have much money, just a local gentry, 100 acres of paddy fields in the township, but because Wu Shangshu has been studying, although the field has not been sold, but the family really does not have much surplus. After finishing speaking, he also found someone from his hometown to testify, proving that Wu Shangshu's eldest brother himself worked in the field, and the female dependents of the family also had to weave and mend it to stick to the family. How shallow is Wu Shangshu's eyelids, killing his eldest brother for his own education for the sake of 100 acres of land?

Wu Tianyi spoke impassionedly in front, and Wu Shangshu, who had been silent in the back, suddenly roared, "Don't say it!" ”

Wu Tianyi looked back at his father.

Wu Shangshu turned to Xiao Hu's father-in-law, stared at it for a long time, and shook his head: "You don't look like my eldest brother at all!" ”

"Now it doesn't matter if I am a descendant of the Wu family or not, but I have to avenge my mother and my brother." Father-in-law Xiao Hu has been in the palace for so many years, and it is not from the sky that he can mix up to this day.

He directly avoided Wu Shangshu's verbal trap, he didn't care whether he was the heir of the Wu family or not, but he was his mother's son, as long as he was, then he had the right to sue Wu Shangshu for killing his brother and drowning nephew.

Wu Shangshu let out a long sigh: "Your mother was driven away by me, and that day she quarreled with her eldest brother and went back to her parents' house by herself, because she wanted to split up!" She felt that I couldn't carry a basket in my hands, I couldn't carry a burden on my shoulders, I had been studying for more than ten years, I had repeatedly failed, and I had dragged down the family, and even gave me a wife and children. ”

"It is understandable that a woman is short-sighted and only has a small family for herself." The old man above nodded, and that one was also born as a commoner, and he had experienced it before. Even when Zhu Long was listening, he secretly sighed in his heart, his family is also well-off, and there are four strong brothers on it, and it is also very difficult for him to study, not to mention that the Wu family only relies on the eldest brother, and the population is increasing, but the land is so little, and the woman has resentment, isn't it understandable?

"That's farming, Xiaoren, it's your eldest brother playing in the field, we all went to the field to plant rice, your aunt cooks at home, and waits for no one when farming, even if I have never done it, but I have to go down to the field. When Xiaoren drowned in the pond, we really don't know, we were all busy and dizzy at that time, and when your aunt brought food, no one could be found, and then we found him in the pond at the edge of the field. Wu Shangshu said very calmly, turned back to the Dali Temple above and said, "This matter, the neighbors who were planting rice in the field at that time all knew that everyone's land was together, looking for a little benevolent, everyone saw it, I can't lie about this, and I don't have to tell this lie." ”

"What about my father? It won't be because my brother died, and my father also threw himself into the river, right? ”

"No, Xiaoren is dead, your mother ran back like crazy, not to say that I drowned Xiaoren, to say that my child is going to be born, kill Xiaoren, and we can divide more family property." Wu Shangshu took a deep breath, "Everyone was very angry that day, and I was also very angry, if your mother took Xiaoren away that day, he would not die." I'm arguing with your mother, big brother...... My eldest brother ......"

Wu Shangshu couldn't say any more.

Wu Tianyi looked at his father, and he didn't know whether he should step forward to appease him.

"My eldest brother is only two years older than me, and he didn't like to talk since he was a child. My parents saw that I was smart, so they sent me to study and let my eldest brother work with them. So even after my parents died, he didn't separate from other families in the village, leaving me to fend for myself, pointing out that I could glorify the lintel. Xiaoren died, the sister-in-law spoke wildly, and the eldest brother sat down without saying a word, without saying anything. When we finished arguing, and then saw the eldest brother fall to the ground, we realized that he couldn't think of swallowing the medicine for the rat for a while. I have no evidence for this, and I have no witnesses. At that time, I found that my eldest brother had taken medicine, and I asked the villagers to help me call the doctor, and when I came back to my senses, my sister-in-law was gone. I didn't look for it, I also hate my sister-in-law, if it weren't for her, my eldest brother and Xiaoren would not have died, and I wouldn't have ruined my family. Over the years, I haven't mentioned it, but my eldest brother is like a father, and my eldest brother has taken care of my kindness since he was a child, and I haven't forgotten it. ”

There was silence in the hall, how would this case be decided? There is no evidence on either side, but now that people have said that the eldest brother is poisoned, then even if the master of the criminal department is sent, I am afraid that nothing will be found, we have already told you, my eldest brother is the poison he took, you bite me?

"Where's the field?" Xin Kun also came to hear the trial, but she didn't show up and kicked out Xiao He.

Xiao He glanced back at Xin Kun, and could only go out slowly by himself.

"I'm sorry adults, the student is studying in school and thinks this case is interesting, but he has doubts in his heart and doesn't know whether to ask or not." Xiao He waved at the people in the hall and asked very sincerely.

"What do you want to ask?" Wu Tianyi was a little nervous.

"Lord Wu, this has nothing to do with you, I'll take a look at this ledger." Xiao He didn't need his consent, he took the account book and flipped through it.

"Wu Shangshu, did you write this account book, or did Brother Ling remember it?"

"I, my brother, can't read." Wu Shangshu said very calmly.

"Well, the account book is old, this is the Wu family's original housework account book, which just covers what happened that year, how much silver was used for funerals, how much silver was used for coffins, and ...... Have you sold the fields that have not yet been planted? ”

"I can't lift it in my hands, I can't carry it on my shoulders, and after my brother is gone, these fields are just a burden for me, so it's better to sell them and leave the sad land with my wife and children."

"Makes sense." Xiao He nodded, lowered his head and continued to look, "Ancestral house, ancestral grave...... Lord Wu, the original little nephew shouldn't ask, dare to ask why the ancestral tomb is sold? O graveyard of our ancestors! ”

Wu Shangshu was stunned, glanced at the account book, and hesitated, "It's not for sale, there are some trees on that land, and the Wu family also has clansmen in the township. ”

"Oh! Your people are good! Xiao He smiled, sent the account book to the hall, and retreated himself. All the questions have been asked.
