Through Wang Deshou's attitude, Zhou Weiji had a preliminary judgment on the death of the third daughter-in-law of the Wang family, that is, Widow Zheng, but when the two arrived at Lizheng's house, he was stunned for a moment.

The west wing of Zhao Lizheng's house was full of people. Zhao Lizheng was sitting on the main seat, next to Zhao Liangxiu, on the other side were Wang Hu, his eldest daughter-in-law Xiao Jia and the five children of the Wang family, and Zhao Lizheng's wife Hua was sitting next to Wang Hu and comforting in a low voice.

"Wei Ji is here, sit down." Zhao Lizheng pointed to the position beside him, "The old man is uncomfortable today, so let's squeeze in this house." ”

Zhou Weiji nodded, fought with everyone, and sat on the other main seat, "Uncle Yang, Deshou said that he was happy with his brother and sister, did you call me over?" ”

Zhao Li was looking at Wang Deshou, but Wang Deshou, but he didn't mention it, "Uncle Yang, mother, the second brother is here, I'll go home first, and the child and his mother will take care of it at home, and it won't be successful." ”

Wang Hu glared at his son, but still nodded, and Wang Deshou quickly turned around and left.

"Wei Ji, that's the case," Zhao Lizheng frowned a little when he said, "Dexi's daughter-in-law hanged herself in the house today, and it was too late to find out. Deshou ran to Zhengjia Village, and asked her mother's family to take Dexi's daughter-in-law back and bury it. ”

Zhou Weiji raised his eyebrows, the daughter-in-law of the old Wang family died and was not buried in the ancestral grave of the old Wang family, but she wanted her mother's family to take it back and bury it? He looked at Wang Hu and Xiao Jia's beside her, and asked, "Why did Brother and Sister Dexi hang themselves?" ”

Wang Hu gritted his teeth. "This shameless slut! Secretly boiling medicine and drinking in the house. I took the medicine and asked Zhou Langzhong to find out that she stole someone to conceive a wild seed a few days ago, and drank the fetal medicine and injured her body! She couldn't hide the scandal when she saw it, and she was afraid that we would drag her to the official. before hanging himself! Their old Zheng family came, and insisted that we beat people to death and hang them. ”

It's like this, no wonder Wang Deshou couldn't open his mouth, Zhou Weiji looked at the five children of three men and two women behind Wang Hu's family, the eldest was more than ten years old, and the younger one was three or four years old, it was always inappropriate to say these things in front of the children, "Uncle Niang." Let the sister-in-law take the children back first. ”

Xiao Jia also knew that it was inappropriate for the children to listen here, but if he took the children home, it would be even worse for the children to listen to the words that Lao Zheng's family scolded them. Besides, I saw Widow Zheng hanging in the house. Xiao Jia's heart was so frightened that he really didn't dare to go home.

Xiao Jia's saw that Wang Hu was silent, so he looked at Hua for help, "Aunt Yang." Do you want the children to go to a different house for a while? ”

Although the Hua family does not look down on Wang Hu's family. But there is still a lot of contact with Xiao Jia's family, and when he saw her like this, he had to nod, "It's okay, let's send the child to your Liangcai brother and sister's house for a while." ”

Zhao Liangcai did not come back from studying in the city, and there was only one Xiaohua in the house, Jia nodded and thanked him, and followed the Hua family to take the children over.

"Brother and sister Dexi have external injuries?" Since the family came and said that Widow Zheng was killed, then she must have external injuries.

Wang Hu's eyes shrank. Still stubbornly said, "It's not that she did this unsightly thing." My wife was angry and hit her a few times, and she ran out with a weak heart and fell a few times and knocked her head......"

Living in the same village, Zhou Weiji also knew a little about their family, he looked at Wang Hu, after all, she was an elder, Zhou Weiji didn't want to ask much, and turned his head to look at Zhao Lizheng.

Zhao Lizheng exhaled deeply and glanced at Wang Hu with dissatisfaction, "There are indeed a lot of injuries on the body of my brother and daughter-in-law, otherwise the old Zheng family can't say that you killed someone and hung it!" ”

Zhao Lizheng is the head of a village, and he is quite prestigious on weekdays, and Wang Hu didn't dare to spill in front of him, so he had to hang his head and keep silent. Zhou Weiji asked again, "Uncle, I only ask once, did the person hang himself or was he beaten to death by you?" ”

Wang Hushi anxiously assured, "Of course she hanged herself!" Originally, she hit a stone on the hillside by herself, but we saw it together with some of the older people, and we also saw her go home when she ran out of breath. Who knew that she was relieved again, and was sent home by Su Fuzi's bearded brother, and my wife saw her come back and called her Langzhong. ”

Su Fuzi's bearded brother, that is, Wu Feng, Zhou Weiji nodded, "After my brother and sister come back, they will be alone in the house?" ”

"After her sister-in-law sent her into the house, no one went in, and when her sister-in-law went in to see, she was already hanging on the door frame." Wang Hu was angry again at this time, "When you are alive, you will do some unsightly things, and when you die, you will add to the blockage!" She hanged herself not because she was afraid that we would take her to the official, but because she had to ride a wooden donkey and dip it in a bamboo cage!"

Zhou Weiji frowned, "Which one said that you want to ride a wooden donkey to dip in a bamboo cage?!" "In the Great Zhou punishment, the punishment of a woman who committed adultery was a rod, but in order to achieve the purpose of humiliation and to set an example, the punishment was to be clothed and roded in public.

Wang Hu stiffened his neck, "Everyone said so." ”

Zhao Li is turning to the topic, "Wei Ji, this self-hanged or beaten to death, can the deeds in the yamen be verified?" ”

"Yes."

Zhao Li is breathing a sigh of relief, so it is much easier to say, "That's good, you can be at home tomorrow?"

"If it rains, I will be at home, and I will go over if Uncle Yang needs me to come forward." If it doesn't rain, he still wants to take his daughter-in-law and children into the city.

Zhao Lizheng nodded gratefully at Zhou Wei, "Lao Wang's family is small, and our villagers live in one village, so we can't ignore it." ”

After speaking, he reprimanded Wang Hu in front of Zhou Weiji, "Even if this matter can be verified, what if it is sent to the Lao Zheng family?" The bigger the trouble with the daughter-in-law, the more difficult it will be for us to do, how will the children go out to see people in the future, I am afraid that in the future, the daughter-in-law will have to suffer from finding her mother-in-law's family! ”

Wang Hu naturally knew this reason, kept his head silent, and clenched his fists again, "Their old Zheng family is making trouble like this, and they don't want silver!" They can do it! Wei Ji, you have to help your aunt this time, as the saying goes, a good dog protects the three neighbors, and a good man protects the three villages, isn't it? Your uncle can't come back from outside, and your brother Deshou can't beat a fart with three sticks, so it's useless at all. Our old Wang family has a single family, and we can only rely on everyone's help. I think when your father was still alive, my aunt was still ......"

"That's it! It's getting late, so be it. Zhao Lizheng saw Wang Hu's nagging, and quickly interrupted her, otherwise with her offending mouth, maybe Zhou Weiji would be unhappy and let go. When Wednesday was still alive, the two families had no friendship, and a few years ago, Widow Zheng wanted to remarry Zhou Weiji, but the whole village knew about it, so Wang Hu beat Widow Zheng, and scolded Zhou Weiji a few times in the village, but he didn't dare to face Zhou Weiji.
