Chapter 155: Concubine
Seeing that everyone saw it, Cai Wei said loudly, "The big guys have seen it, it was this thing that caused the death of two generations of Dakui's father and son, if it is not smoked out today, it will harm others in the future." ”
Maybe even Dakui's son was killed.
"Could this be it? How can this thing harm Dakui? Others didn't believe it and exclaimed.
Cai Wei explained quietly, "Over time, I don't know how many years have passed in this thing in this roof, and when I smell the aroma of food, I poke my head out, estimating that the venom on my body fell into the bowl, and I poisoned the person unconsciously." ”
"I see." Someone believed.
Dakui's daughter-in-law cried out loudly, knelt softly in front of Cai Wei, and kept kowtowing.
"Sister-in-law, don't be like this......" Cai Wei was busy trying to pull her.
She pressed her son to the ground, "Bao'er, kowtow to Aunt Caiwei, she is the life-saving benefactor of our mother." ”
The county magistrate stroked his beard and watched this scene, and he didn't say a word.
After a long time, he opened his mouth slowly, "There is no physical evidence, it's just speculation, who can be sure that this thing is harmed?" ”
He squinted at Cai Wei, his eyes full of provocation.
Cai Wei understood, if it was really this centipede's fault, then all the previous county magistrate's verdicts would have to be overturned, what authority did he have?
A small village girl can conclude a murder case, where will the county master's face go?
She instantly understood, just let her watch Dakui's daughter-in-law die unjustly just to become the face of the county's grandfather, she couldn't do it.
She asked herself if she was not the White Lotus, but she couldn't see death without saving her.
She wanted to fight.
"My lord," she took a step forward and knelt in front of the county magistrate fiercely, although she was extremely unaccustomed to it.
The county magistrate didn't even glance at her, but only ordered the officials, "Come on, put this poisonous woman in prison." ”
"My lord, if it's this centipede, just try it." Cai Wei kowtowed and looked up at the county master firmly.
"Whose shameless girl doesn't hurry up and let her father and mother take it back?" The county magistrate was angry, and he didn't know how to advance or retreat for Cai Wei.
Obedient and listening, Cai Wei knew that the county master should make a move next.
The county lord is not righteous, but she is a dignified court official, she is no longer interesting, and losing face is secondary, and it is possible to play the board.
For a while, she was in turmoil and didn't know what to do.
Lu Ying looked at her kneeling there, and her heart hurt like a pinprick.
It would be nice if he could come forward, but he couldn't, the matter of becoming a king has not been thoroughly investigated, how dare he risk exposing his identity?
Anxious, he inadvertently caught a glimpse of the fleeting smugness on Bai Xing's face, and suddenly had an idea.
"Ahem......" He put his hand to his lips and suddenly coughed lightly, successfully attracting the attention of the county master.
He glanced at Lu Ying dissatisfied, and was shocked in his heart: this person is really good-looking, and his ugly clothes can't hide his noble temperament. It's just a pity to be born in this poor country.
It's a pity in my heart, but the county master won't change his mind for the sake of a small person in a mountain village.
Lu Ying quietly poked Bai Xing's elbow, looked at him and whispered in his ear, "Don't forget how the two long-term workers of your family were thrown to the door." ”
Bai Xingzheng was proud, and he was stupid when he heard this.
He has been guessing that Lu Ying did this, but there is no evidence.
He deliberately spent money to buy medicinal materials, also to curry favor with Cai Wei, and also to explore the wind by the way.
I didn't expect him to do it.
Thinking that the two long-term workers were still lying in a coma at home, scarred all over their bodies, Bai Xing's heart beat a drum.
Dakui's daughter-in-law is just an irrelevant person, she doesn't die much, she lives a lot, it's just a matter of the county master's words.
If he can't save Dakui's daughter-in-law, who knows if this person will also cripple him?
He knows too well what it feels like to suffer a loss in vain, isn't this trick he used to pit Lin Feng's mother and son?
The lesser of two evils!
Bai Xing pondered for a while, but he still stepped forward, knelt down on one knee in front of the county master, and clenched his fists to persuade, "My lord, Li Dakui has been poisoned to death, if his daughter-in-law is imprisoned and sentenced, this child will be pitiful." ”
He is also a very shrewd person, not to mention that the county magistrate is not effective in handling the case, but only plays the sympathy card and talks about Li Dakui's son.
This is obviously to give the county master a step down, and he can also get a good reputation.
The county master was served comfortably in Bai Xing's house before, and this matter was indeed not a big deal, as long as the bitter master didn't tell him, he didn't bother to worry about it.
He twisted his beard and muttered for a long time, pretending that it was difficult to make a decision, and sighed for a long time, "That's it, there is no physical evidence, and this case still needs to be reviewed." ”
It's really a sentence that determines life and death.
In this way, Dakui's daughter-in-law escaped death and immediately cried and fainted.
Da Kui Niang didn't give up, holding the county master's leg and refusing to let go, "Lord Qingtian, my son died unjustly." You can't spare this poisonous woman! ”
Bai Xing glared at the old woman with disgust, "Don't wronged your daughter-in-law, keep her, your grandson and you can still have a meal to eat." ”
This seemed to make sense, and several other relatives saw the wind and the rudder, and hurriedly stepped forward to tell her all kinds of stakes.
Seeing that the matter had come to this point, Uncle Da Kui sighed and came up to persuade, "Sister, Da Kui is gone, for the sake of his grandson, let's keep my daughter-in-law." ”
He is also worried that his sister will not be able to raise this child in the future, and he will have to trouble him.
Cai Wei only looked at the faces of these people coldly, but it was all for profit.
As soon as the murder case ended, the county magistrate would not let people check whether the centipede was poisonous or not, so the case was closed in such a hurry.
In fact, if he really found a cat or dog to test the poison, and if he tried it, he would be embarrassed.
Therefore, he ignored the centipede and just decided the case and left.
Cai Wei scolded secretly in her heart, what an old fox in officialdom.
Seeing that the county master took a sedan chair and followed Bai Xing home, Lu Ying also pulled Cai Wei to go home.
It's settled, it's time to go home and get some sleep.
When I woke up early the next morning, the whole village was boiling.
It turned out that the county lord accepted the White Lotus as the ninth concubine, and Bai Xing beat the gong and drum early in the morning to send the girl and the county lord away.
Cai Wei only thought it was incredible, the county master was older than Bai Xing, and she could be the grandfather of Lotus, she had always been arrogant, how could she fall in love with such an old man?
Didn't she miss Lu Ying in her heart? At worst, Lin Feng is not bad.
It's just that when Lu Ying heard these words, she smiled calmly, "With the county master, the lotus flower has a talisman." ”
Indeed, no one dared to poke out about her murder of Lin Feng's mother and son. Even if it is poked out, the county magistrate will not accept it.
Now, Lotus can be relieved.
Later, Cai Wei heard that Lin Fengniang was crying and shouting at the door of Bai Xing's house that night to see Master Qingtian, and was blasted out by Bai Xing.
It is estimated that Lianhua was afraid that she would accuse her of murdering their mother and son, so she simply followed the county master to avoid worries.
