Chapter 65: Trial of the case
When the county magistrate heard what Wu Erniang said, he immediately asked, "Wu, if you have anything to say, you might as well say it in the court!" ”
Wu Erniang didn't open her mouth, she cried first, and then choked up: "My lord, when the eldest sister-in-law was alive, she especially liked this Yun girl, and asked her mother-in-law to embroider for the grandson of the Wu family. ”
"I don't want to," Wu Erniang suddenly changed her words, "The eldest sister-in-law quarreled with Miss Yun because of the unsightly embroidery style, and Miss Yun held a grudge because of this, the more the two quarreled, the more stiff they became, and I don't know how again, probably because they were arguing too much, and the little girl around the eldest sister-in-law couldn't stand it, so they pushed Miss Yun down the lake." ”
But for that incident, the eldest sister-in-law has apologized repeatedly, and said that she will definitely be responsible for this incident and give Miss Yun and Cui's an explanation. But Miss Yun was aggressive, and in the end, the eldest sister-in-law was really helpless and committed suicide by taking poison. Wu Erniang suddenly cried bitterly, "After the eldest sister-in-law passed away, that note was evidence. It's just pitiful, the little woman is delicate and frail, Miss Yun has her back to Cui's, I have to pretend to be deaf and dumb, pity my eldest sister-in-law! ”
When the county magistrate heard this, he thought of the note he had seen at the Wu family before, and nodded and agreed: "This is indeed the case, I can't imagine that this is the case, Chen, what else do you have to say?" ”
Yun Duoduo couldn't imagine that Wu Erniang still had this hand, mixing the truth and falsehood of the matter, and refabricating a seemingly real illusion.
"My lord, I have nothing to say." Yun Duoduo opened his mouth and said, "This kind of planting and blaming is indisputable. ”
When the county magistrate heard this, he was very shameless and said, "Okay! Since you have confessed your guilt, come on, why don't you take the Yun Promise family into custody and imprisonment soon! ”
The absurd conviction of the county order made Yun Duoduo laugh angrily.
Seeing that the official was about to come up and get her, she gritted her teeth and shouted, "Slow! Isn't it ridiculous that such a ridiculous conviction is made? ”
"You Diao Min, what else do you have to defend?" The county order patted the wooden road.
"I just have something I want to ask Erniang." Yun Duoduo said.
The county commander nodded, and Yun Duoduo turned to Wu Erniang and asked, "Erniang, I have obviously only seen you once, how can you be so clear about the matter between me and the eldest mother?" ”
Wu Erniang, who was secretly vigilant, suddenly laughed when she heard this question, and replied when she opened her mouth: "As the saying goes, 'the eldest brother is like a father, and the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother', I am as a sister as my sister-in-law, and I naturally have to care more about my sister-in-law's affairs." ”
"What a sister, you took advantage of your sister's unpreparedness, and turned around and fed poison to your eldest mother." Yun Duoduo sneered.
Wu Erniang's face changed, and she immediately became angry: "What nonsense are you talking about? ”
"I'm talking nonsense, so how did you tell me how the eldest mother died?" Yun Duoduo quickly interrupted Wu Erniang's words and asked.
"Of course, I use a hairpin to ......" Wu Erniang, who answered the phone, suddenly realized that something was wrong, and immediately lied, "The eldest sister-in-law is obviously ...... because of you."
Yun Duoduo interrupted her and said, "You killed the eldest lady behind your back with a hairpin!" ”
"Cloud Girl!" Wu Erniang, who seemed to be delicate, suddenly shouted and threatened, "I have let you again and again, but seeing that you are a little girl, do you really think that my Wu family is easy to bully." You keep saying that I killed someone, what about the evidence, without evidence, you will sue the official with the people, be careful to go to jail! ”
Yun Duoduo took a deep breath and understood that she had no way back when she came to this point.
After calming down, she spoke: "Since I sued you, it is naturally evidence, not only evidence, but I also have witnesses!" ”
When the confused county order heard it, he also cheered up and said, "Yun Clan, don't hurry up and submit the evidence!" ”
Yun Duoduo took out the clothes embroidered by Granny Cui and said: "This is the first piece of evidence, this batch of materials is the material worn by the female corpse, Aunt Wu asked her mother-in-law to embroider some embroidery before, and this batch of materials is used, please take a look." ”
"What does one piece of material prove?" The county magistrate looked at the material and wondered.
"The material belongs to the Wu family, which proves that the female corpses fished out of Jiangzhou City were all from the Wu family, but the Wu family did not report the case, which can prove that there are ghosts in it!" Yun Duoduo continued.
Wu Erniang immediately quibbled on the side: "What the hell? Maybe it's the descendants of the Wu family, there are too many slaves in the Wu family, and who can count the one or two who disappear. ”
"Erniang, this is the material worn by the female corpse in the river. Such a good material, can the next person wear it? Yun Duoduo retorted.
This rebuttal, the county order also heard it, and said: "Chen, you mean that the murderer is someone from the Wu family, because she killed someone, she didn't dare to report the case." ”
"That's right!" Yun Duoduo nodded.
Wu Erniang heard that something was wrong, and immediately remedied: "Huh? Is that so, the matter of the female corpse is so terrible that the little woman didn't look at it carefully. Everything in the family is in charge of the eldest sister-in-law, and this fabric is also given to you by the eldest sister-in-law. Could it be that the eldest sister-in-law is really the same as what is said outside, a murderer? ”
This innocent look is just right, and even Yun Duoduo wants to give this Erniang a thumbs up.
"That's right, the material is indeed the eldest mother's, but you gave it!" Yun Duoduo said coldly.
"Nonsense! My lord, I don't know about this batch of materials! Wu Erniang continued to pretend to be innocent.
Yun Duoduo ignored her and continued: "That day, I inquired about the news from the Wu family's maid at the Wu family, and the maid of the Wu family only said the material, and didn't mention anything else, but Erniang suddenly asked, is it that batch of old materials?" In this matter, the maid of the Wu family can testify and prove that Erniang knows about the material. ”
"Yes, probably, maybe the little woman misremembered." Yun Duoduo's rebuttal, Wu Erniang's face quickly turned white, "This doesn't prove that the material is mine." ”
"I can prove it!" As soon as Wu Erniang's words fell, Yue Chang'an's brisk voice suddenly came from outside the county office.
Yun Duoduo froze in place, not daring to look back for a moment, for fear that the voice he heard was an illusion. Yue Changan didn't know what she was thinking, and saw that everyone in the yamen looked over, but Yun Duoduo didn't look at him, and muttered: "No conscience." ”
After muttering, I couldn't help but think about the one who had no conscience.
Yue Changan deliberately shook his fan, walked into the county office with extremely chic steps, stood behind Yun Duoduo and said, "My lord, I can prove that this fabric was given to Aunt Wu by Wu Erniang." ”
"How do you prove it?" When the county magistrate saw Yue Chang'an, he remembered the young man who reported the crime that day, and always felt that the young person in front of him was not easy to mess with, although the other party looked lively and cute.
"I brought witnesses and asked them to summon them." Yue Chang'an said.
The county commander was afraid of the momentum on his body, and hurriedly waved his hand at the officer, and let Wu Dalang and the Wu family maid in, and when the two walked into the county office, they almost shocked the county order's jaw.
Not only the county order, but even the people were amazed, thinking that today's case was really exciting, one by one.
Only Yun Duoduo was in a daze, she stiffened her body and turned her head to look at Yue Chang'an, the young man seemed to have been busy for a long time and didn't have time to rest, there were dark circles under the corners of his eyes, and there were some red bloodshots in his eyes, and he felt that he was very tired when he looked at it.
But in front of everyone, Yue Chang'an showed a chic and comfortable appearance.
Yun Duoduo suddenly felt distressed, Yue Changan looked down and saw her eyes, thinking that she was worried, and deliberately took a step forward, and carefully grabbed her hand, meaning that he was there.
Yun Duoduo held back the tears that were about to snatch his eyes, forcibly removed his eyes, and looked at the two witnesses in the field.
The county order sent someone to unfold the fabric in front of the two, and the maid of the Wu family spoke first: "That's right, that day, the eldest lady was worried about what material to use to make clothes for the little young master, and the second lady suddenly sent this material over. ”
Wu Dalang saw the material and sighed: "The lady asked me with this fabric that day, if it is good to make clothes for children." also said that her brother and daughter-in-law gave her such good materials, and she wanted to get something in return. ”
The unanimous testimony of the two made Wu Erniang's face whiter, she took a few steps back, and said pitifully: "I, I really don't know that there is a problem with this material, this is a reward given to me by my mother, I saw that this material is good, so I want to give a horse to my eldest sister-in-law, I ......"
The evidence was in front of her, but Wu Erniang was extremely cunning.
Yun Duoduo ignored her, and continued: "The second piece of evidence is the hairpin on the head of the female corpse, which is only available to the Wu family. ”
After speaking, Yun Duoduo took out the hairpin and presented it.
"These two pieces of evidence can only prove that this female corpse is related to the Wu family, but they can't prove that this Wu Erniang is the murderer?" The county magistrate listened to it for a long time, and finally asked the key question.
"There's a third piece of evidence." Yue Changan suddenly smiled and clapped his hands, and soon someone outside the yamen walked in with an object, and everyone looked over curiously, and the lively young man lifted the curtain outside, and it turned out to be a person!
It was a poor girl, not badly dressed, with a hairpin on her head, not a beautiful but a little jasper. But the poor thing is that her whole body is tied with ropes, and her exposed wrists and face are scars.
The onlookers were shocked, and the county magistrate was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Quick, don't hurry up and let people loose." ”
The officials hurriedly let go of the poor girl, and when the girl came down, she suddenly cried bitterly, and then looked at Wu Erniang with hatred.
When Wu Erniang saw the girl, she was also dumbfounded, knowing that she was afraid that it was over!
"My lord, you have to be the master of the people! Zhang, a folk girl, is from a neighboring county, and her family is poor, because the matchmaker said that she married into the Wu family as a concubine, it was normal for a day or two at first, but on the third day, the unfortunate Lang Jun immediately abandoned me and let his wife torture me. The girl knelt on the ground, kowtowed, and cried, "Madame hates me, and tortures me so much that she will sink me into the river." ”
"The little girl's life is hard, just when she was about to sink into the river, fortunately, this little Langjun rescued her, so she saved her life!" The girl said, ignoring her name, she opened her arm, and the shocking scars frightened the onlookers.
There was a lot of discussion, and the county commander was shocked and shouted: "Bold Wu, what else do you have to say?" ”
