Chapter 67: The Dust Settles

"Where is the old lady talking about, this official is just handling the case impartially, and in this case, there must be evidence and witnesses, and the evidence is conclusive before the case can be decided." The county commander said with a smile, "Jiangzhou City is so big, this official doesn't dare to talk casually, don't say that there is an old lady in front, just say that there is a Cui family behind this?" ”

Cui family, Old Lady Wu looked at Yun Duoduo who was standing in the middle, and knew that the county order was using the Cui family to suppress him. He poked his crutches and said sharply: "Is the Cui family branch going to ride on the old man's head?" ”

The old lady was full of momentum, and her words were obviously aimed at Yun Duoduo.

Yun Duoduo shrunk his neck, facing the old lady Wu who had been up and down in the officialdom for a long time, he was obviously a little cowardly, Yue Changan naturally protected her behind him, and greeted the old lady Wu very vigorously: "Hello uncle!" ”

Old Lady Wu twitched and said, "You kid, where did you come from?" ”

Yue Chang'an put on a look of spirits and said: "My name is Yue Chang'an, and I came out of Chang'an." ”

Changan? Old lady Wu's face changed, and she looked at Yue Chang'an seriously, and saw that the young man was dressed in cloth and looked good, but there didn't seem to be anything special about it.

Thinking like this, Old Lady Wu spoke: "Boy, it's a good thing for heroes to save beauty, don't offend people you can't afford to mess with." ”

When Yue Changan heard Mrs. Wu's words, he pretended to think about it seriously, and said: "Uncle, you are old, you should have the appearance of returning to your hometown, isn't it okay to rest at home?" ”

"You!" The old lady looked at Yue Chang'an in shock, he has been in the officialdom for so many years, and it is the first time that someone dares to talk to him like this!

Wu Erniang saw that the old lady ignored her, and hurriedly found an opportunity to express her presence.

"Dad, you're here to save your daughter-in-law!" Erniang wailed, and then hugged Old Lady Wu's feet.

Old lady Wu is not a stupid person, she kicked Wu Erniang away first, and then said: "Foolish things, go back and settle accounts with you, saying that you have done something heinous with this evil obstacle?" ”

"Dad, obviously they slandered my daughter-in-law and killed my eldest sister-in-law, but my father knows that my eldest sister-in-law and I have always been like sisters, so it's good, how can I kill my eldest sister-in-law?" Wu Erniang kept silent about the case of the female corpse, only mentioning the death of Aunt Wu, and kept shouting injustice.

Wu Erlang also protected his daughter-in-law and said: "Dad, although the lady is a little arrogant, she has always been good with her sister-in-law, there must be some misunderstanding in this?" ”

The husband and wife sang and harmonized, but the old lady didn't give face and said: "Jiangzhou has done so many lives, do you still owe your sister-in-law?" ”

Yun Duoduo saw that the old lady was an understanding person, and said: "Uncle Wu, the eldest lady did not commit suicide by taking poison, she was killed, if you don't believe it, the county commander can send a servant to inspect the body of the eldest lady, there is a small hole pierced by a hairpin in the back of her head, which is the real cause of death of the eldest lady." ”

"What you said is true?" Mrs. Wu asked.

"It's true." Wu Dalang suddenly said, "Previously, Yue Xiaolangjun asked the housekeeper to ask me out under an excuse, and then he mentioned to me the cause of the lady's death, but I didn't believe it until I personally examined the lady's body, and then I found that the lady was actually killed!" ”

After listening to Da Lang's words, Old Lady Wu glanced at Wu Erniang with sharp eyes and asked, "The old man asked you, did you kill the eldest daughter-in-law?"

The old lady's momentum was too strong, and Wu Erniang's face was pale in the past, but unfortunately, she still said stiffly: "It's not me, Dad, you have to believe me!" ”

As soon as she finished speaking, she didn't want the old lady of the Wu family to come, and a bunch of people were crowded at the yamen, and the big families gathered together in the yamen, which was really a rare and rare thing.

"Master, the Wu family is unlucky! It's the old body who can't teach him, please punish the master! As soon as Mrs. Wu entered the yamen, she didn't explain her intentions, so she first asked the old lady for her guilt.

The old lady pleaded with her, and the old lady hurriedly helped her up, and asked in a low voice, "Old wife, what do you mean by this?"

The old lady did not speak, but only motioned for her servants to bring the person who had been caught. Soon, a black-clothed guy was escorted to the court.

The moment Wu Erniang saw the little girl, she completely collapsed, looked at the old lady with tears in her eyes, and asked, "Mother! What do you mean? Do you want to put your daughter-in-law to death?"

Old Mrs. Wu was still hesitating at first, but when she saw Wu Erniang's unrepentant appearance, she was surprisingly angry, and she said: "You did the dirty thing yourself, and you are embarrassed to ask me!" If you kill someone outside, the old woman can ignore it, but your deep thoughts should not be directed at the Wu family, let alone the eldest daughter-in-law. ”

Wu Erniang turned her head and didn't admit it: "Mother, I don't understand what you're talking about?"

"Good! You care about my Wu family, why should I care about your daughter-in-law, today I cleaned up the Wu family, and I accidentally found this little thief sneaky, and ordered someone to catch him! Mrs. Wu was very angry, kicked and said, "Just caught him, this person shouted to see you!" The old woman originally thought it was an ugly thing and wanted to find a way to deal with this guy. Who would have thought that as soon as this guy heard that you had arrived at the Yamen, he thought that the matter had been exposed, and he was scared first and confessed all the crimes. ”

"The old woman also received a silver hairpin on him, this is the murder weapon you used to murder the eldest daughter-in-law!" After speaking, Mrs. Wu threw away the silver hairpin.

Seeing that the matter was completely exposed, the little man in black couldn't take care of his master, and took care of his own life first, he wailed: "My lord, I really don't care about my business, all this is what the second lady asked the little one to do, what else can the little one do?"

All the truth was revealed, Mrs. Wu was a little tired, and she couldn't take care of this vicious daughter-in-law, so she snorted coldly and said: "Your Excellency enforces the law impartially, and this evil woman and old husband will be handed over to your adult!" ”

Wu Erlang saw that things had no turnaround, and he was afraid of getting into trouble, so he hurriedly drew a line and said: "Lady, I only know that you are usually jealous, but I didn't expect you to be such a vicious person, and even your sister-in-law refused to let go!" ”

Wu Erniang finally experienced the feeling of a wall falling down and everyone pushing her, she looked at Wu Erlang and wanted to pull his sleeve, but was ruthlessly pushed away by Erlang and said: "You wicked woman wants to die, don't pull me, just wait for a letter of resignation tomorrow!" ”

Wu Erniang was really desperate this time, she couldn't help but take a few steps back, and sneered: "Hahaha, wicked woman!" ”

"Yes, I'm a wicked woman. I was born a thousand charming, and smart and clever, where to marry is not to marry, but the helpless thing is that I met the Wu family Lang that year, and then I was iron-hearted, and the matchmaker went around to find out the news for me, only to know that the Lang became a parent. My family is big, and my mother will never allow me to marry as a concubine. Wu Erniang collapsed to the ground and cried bitterly.

"It was for that man that I still married into the Wu family and became his brother-in-law. Later, Lang Jun, you saw that I looked good, and I really loved me very much, I thought it would be good to have a peaceful birthday like this. But you, your good is only a few months, and after a few months, you can't hide the lust in your bones. Being betrayed by everyone, Wu Erniang was in extreme pain, and finally couldn't help but erupt, "I'm a woman, what else can I do?" I watched those uglier and low-born people climb on top of me, heh, of course I killed her! ”

"From that moment on, I couldn't hide the ferocity in my bones! If you betray me once, I will kill them once. For fear of exposing the matter, and in order to take revenge on my eldest brother, I released rumors, and after hiding behind the rumors, no one doubted me. Originally, all of this was well planned, but it was just a few more inferior people who died! Wu Erniang suddenly laughed and said madly, "But I didn't expect that the female corpse in Jiangzhou City was suddenly discovered." ”

"I immediately sent someone to investigate, only to find out that it was the spring tide today, and the body that had sunk at the bottom of the river floated. In a panic, my sister-in-law came to me and pulled me to talk about the Wu family's grandchildren. Hahaha, I hated her before, if it weren't for her being the eldest brother's wife now, for so many years, I had nothing to do, and I would have been disliked by my negative Lang Jun a long time ago. Wu Erniang stood up and looked at Wu Erlang hatefully, at this time, my sister-in-law bumped into her and poured salt on her wound, how could I let her go!"

"So, you deliberately gave the fabric to the eldest lady. Later, the same hairpin on the head of the female corpse was rewarded to the maid next to the eldest mother. Yun Duoduo added.

"That's right, the little girl's monthly money is small after all, where have I seen such a good-looking hairpin, naturally she will wear it proudly on her head. In this way, even if the government investigates it, it will be the first to find out the sister-in-law's head. Wu Erniang sneered.

Yun Duoduo thought of the eldest mother's unsuccessful death, and couldn't help but sigh: "It's a pity, I didn't think much about it at the time, and I was complacent and thought that I had found the murderer and wronged the eldest mother." ”

"It's a pity that I didn't drown you in the first place!" Wu Erniang smiled viciously.

Yue Changan suddenly protected Yun Duoduo behind him, and said angrily: "It turned out to be you!" ”

"Yes, of course it's me! The government didn't come to investigate the matter of the female corpse, but Miss Yun came, and asked about the material, so I kept an extra eye on it, and soon knew that you were investigating the case. The matter was revealed, and Wu Erniang had nothing to hide, but fortunately she said it happily, "If you want to check me, of course I won't let you go!" ”

"But you didn't die. What surprised me the most was that my sister-in-law was originally out of temper because this incident made me suspicious. She is the head of the Wu family, she wants to investigate thoroughly, and soon found out the clues, that night, she came to me with a hairpin and cloth, and asked me if I had killed someone. Wu Erniang continued.

"I said no, she didn't believe it, and she had to report to the official. You say, how can I allow her to report to the official! Wu Erniang's eyes were red, crying and laughing.

After listening to this, Yun Duoduo finally knew what had happened and said, "So, you killed her!" Then forge the last words and put all the crimes on the eldest mother. ”

"Not bad! Things were going well, but I didn't expect the government to dig up all the corpses at the bottom of the river! Later, I didn't think of a follow-up move, so you sued me to the yamen. Wu Erniang continued.

After hearing the county order, he also sighed for a while: "Come on, put this wicked woman in prison!" ”

Wu Erniang suddenly took out a dagger from her arms, and while Wu Erlang was defenseless, she stabbed Erlang in the chest.

The crowd was shocked!

Erniang laughed, and committed suicide with the dagger, and said crazy before she died: "I am full of evil, and you are no better, why don't we die together!" ”

……

The case of the female corpse that shocked Jiangzhou was finally ended in this way.

The Wu family brought back the bodies of the two, and the old lady Wu closed the door to thank the guests, and the Wu family kept a low profile from then on.
