Chapter 35: The Autumn Queen's Question
The trial had already been held inside, Mu Qingqing was standing in a corner, looked inside, and at a glance, he saw Zhou Liuyun.
Zhou Liuyun's expression is not very good, in just a few days, the whole person's figure has lost a few points, and just a back makes people feel distressed.
Looking at Zhou Liuyun's appearance, Mu Qingqing felt a little guilty, it was all because she was not good, and she made her mother worry plainly.
Li Qiuhua knelt beside Zhou Liuyun, and the one kneeling on their left was Li Ping.
Li Ping's expression was not very good, the clothes on his body were in tatters, it was summer, and there seemed to be a bad smell on his body.
"Li Ping, can you plead guilty?" The county order obviously recognized Li Ping's guilt, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he asked him for his guilt.
Li Ping still wanted to quibble, but he didn't know what to say, after all, to this day, the scratches on Li Qiuhua's neck have not faded.
"Since you don't refute it, then sign it." Seeing that he didn't speak, the county commander instructed the master to put the pleadings in front of Li Ping's eyes, Li Ping was about to draw a charge, he didn't know many words, but he also knew the word "death" on the pleadings.
Seeing that word, Li Ping hurriedly retracted his hand, looked at the county order with a frightened expression, and stammered a little when he spoke, "Big... My lord, the little one has not committed any capital crime, why do you want to put me to death! Look, isn't Li Qiuhua standing here well! ”
He will not sin unto death, that's for sure!
Hearing this, the county magistrate sneered and pointed to the pleading, "It seems that you are illiterate, why did you sentence the autumn queen to be beheaded, the pleadings are clearly written." ”
Hearing that Li Ping was sentenced to death, Li Qiuhua breathed a sigh of relief, this was the punishment he deserved.
"It is indeed written clearly, although Li Qiuhua is not dead, but what about Mu Qingqing, you not only killed her, but even destroyed her corpse, this is a great sin, can't you still be put to death?"
Seeing that Li Ping didn't want to sign and draw, the master instantly became angry and roared at him.
Li Ping was taken aback and took a step back, "No, my lord, you are Mingjian, Mu Qingqing is not dead at all, I really wanted to kill her that day, but I was halfway through the fight and kicked me unconscious, and Mu Qingqing was rescued by that person." ”
Looking at Li Ping like this, it doesn't look like he is lying. The county commander frowned slightly and looked towards Li Qiuhua.
"My lord, don't listen to his nonsense, if Mu Qingqing is fine, why didn't you find her, it must be Li Ping's nonsense, my lord, didn't you send someone to find her?"
Li Qiuhua saw that the county commander's expression was a little moved, and hurriedly said.
Hearing this, the county magistrate nodded again, yes, if he was rescued, it would be impossible to have no news, this Li Ping is a villain who steals chickens and dogs on weekdays, maybe, this is lying again.
Zhou Liuyun naturally hoped that his daughter was still alive, but... The county order has been looking for so long, but he has not found it, and Zhou Liuyun has to accept this reality.
Right now, the murderer of his daughter is in front of him, Zhou Liuyun gritted his teeth and kowtowed towards the county order, "My lord, you must make the decision for my daughter, my daughter is still so young, she was killed by him so cruelly, my daughter died unjustly!" ”
Zhou Liuyun burst into tears, but it was very infectious, and the people gathered outside the door were a little moved. Looking at Zhou Liuyun's sad look, Mu Qingqing only felt that his heart was pinched up, and it hurt terribly.
She really wanted to go over and help Zhou Liuyun up, telling her that she was not dead, but that she was almost able to bring Li Ping to justice right now.
"My lord, not only Li Ping, but also Zhang Guihua, Zhang Guihua also wants to kill her mother-in-law, you must bring Zhang Guihua to justice!" Thinking of Zhang Guihua, Li Qiuhua shouted loudly again.
The county order was already disturbed by Zhou Liuyun's crying, but now that he heard that someone was plotting against him, he was even more irritable, he slapped the startling wood hard, Zhou Liuyun was frightened, and suddenly stopped crying, and could only sob quietly.
"Okay, since you can't find Mu Qingqing's person, then you can't prove Li Ping's innocence, Li Ping, you killed someone, and the crime should be beheaded, there is no need to discuss."
The county order had a loud voice and gave Li Ping an ultimatum.
Hearing this, Li Ping sat down on the ground as if he had lost his soul, shook his head, and muttered, "No... I didn't kill anyone... I really didn't kill anyone..."
Chen San outside, he was even more anxious, seeing that his good brother was sentenced to death, who could be happy, he originally wanted to bribe and bribe officials with the silver to bail Li Ping out, but the death row prisoner, who can bail him out!
Chen San was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, where did this damn Mu Qingqing go, is it as long as Mu Qingqing is proved to be alive, Li Ping will have a chance to escape the charge!
Thinking of this, Chen San frowned again, he couldn't even find someone in the government, what role could he play as a small villager?
At this time, he suddenly heard the voice of an old woman.
"Don't squeeze me, an old woman, who of you can afford it?" This voice came from Wang.
Wang's foot broke yesterday, and he was already walking unsteadily, and the entrance of the yamen was full of onlookers, and it was even more inconvenient to be crowded.
Wang hesitated for a whole night, and did not make up her mind, whether to sue Zhang Guihua, Zhang Guihua is her daughter-in-law in the end, the two complement each other and live for decades, if she really sues Zhang Guihua, then she will have nothing to rely on for the rest of her life.
Is it only Zhou Liuyun? Wang shook his head and dispelled this thought, Zhou Liuyun is an honest and duty-bound person, he has no ability to make money, and he has to live a hard life by relying on her to support himself.
She didn't want to drink wild vegetable soup all day.
She came here today to see what was going on inside, and if there was nothing wrong, she wouldn't go in.
After Chen San saw the Wang family, a gleam flashed in his eyes, and he hurriedly walked towards the Wang family, and smiled flatteringly, "Wang Po, why are you here?" ”
Seeing Chen San, Wang's face instantly pulled down.
Chen San is Li Ping's good brother, both of them are about to wear a pair of pants, his daughter-in-law and Li Ping had that kind of dirty thing, when the Wang family sees Chen San, it is inevitable that they will think of the events of that night.
"What are you doing here?" Wang glared at him angrily, took a step back to himself, and kept his distance from Chen San.
Sensing the Wang family's alienation, Chen San came closer with a cheeky face, "Grandma Wang, is there any misunderstanding between us?" ”
"If it weren't for your good brother, I wouldn't have come here." Thinking of the events of that night, Wang couldn't hold his head up.
Chen San laughed twice and touched his head, "Grandma Wang, don't be like this, we are also from the same village, so we should take care of each other, you are also an old man in the village, isn't this a demolition of the village chief's platform?" ”
