Chapter 168: Who is the coffin for?
"Lu Shui, who wrote your statement?" Li Li asked.
"Find someone to write it." Lu Shuishi said.
"Who wrote it?" Li Li asked.
"This needs to be kept secret, my lord, besides, if you think the eggs taste good, do you still need to know the hen that laid the eggs?" Lu Shuishi asked.
"Okay, I won't ask. You said in the complaint that your son, who is the defendant in this case, Lu Zishun, has abused you for a long time, and I haven't seen any injuries on your face? How did he abuse you? Li Li asked.
"It's all internal injuries. I can't see that he has mentally destroyed the people's daughters. Lu Shuishi said.
"How?"
"People say that raising children to prevent old age, but it seems that the people's daughters want to support the elderly and prevent children."
"What do you mean by this?"
"He was very well-behaved and obedient when he was a child, let him go east, he didn't dare to go west, let him go south, he didn't dare to go north, he was very obedient, very filial, it was really good! Later, it changed, and now it is becoming more and more rebellious, more and more rebellious, it is simply unbearable, the husband died, and the daughter did not remarry, but she concentrated on raising this son, hoping that when the son grows up, he can take care of the people's daughter, so that the people's daughter can live her life in peace, who would have thought that he would be so rebellious and abuse the people's daughter, so that the people's daughter can no longer live. ”
"That's not right! If you are abused, you will definitely be beaten and scolded, or often humiliated you, so that you will be in a state of mental pain for a long time, because of this, you will not be able to survive, you will not be able to enjoy life happily, because the consequences are not very serious, and the evidence of abuse is insufficient, you still have to think about whether to withdraw the lawsuit. If the case is withdrawn, the officer will allow it, and if the case is not withdrawn, evidence will need to be provided to prove that the abuse is established, and the evidence will be sufficient. Li Li said.
"My lord, the evidence is what is written in the complaint, if it is not sufficient, it is wronged, my lord, the daughter of the people is really wronged, the son is not filial, the neighbors can testify, if you don't believe it, the adults can go to visit and visit, investigate and investigate, and see if what the daughter said is right."
"Nonsense, it's just nonsense, whoever sues, whoever has to prepare evidence first to prove the truth of the content of the accusation, and now let the official investigate and collect evidence, it's just nonsense! If they are all like you, then the official will investigate every day, where do you have time to manage other affairs, such as praying for rain and drought, flood control and drainage, student examinations, disaster relief, etc., there is not so much time to take care of these things of yours, and the things to be done are very important, and your little things are not called troubles. Li Li said.
"The lawsuit of the little people is also a big deal, this is related to the happiness of the people's daughters, whether they can live to die naturally in the future is a question, life and death, isn't it a big deal? The folk girl was physically and mentally exhausted, desperate, came to the county office, and asked for the protection of the adult, who would have thought that the adult would ignore it, and felt that this matter was too small to care, how could this make sense? If the emperor hears that the adults are dedicated to the people, the real people's parents and officials, love the people like children, it is the emperor's credit, the emperor will be grateful to the adults, and will naturally reward the adults, and the adult's career will be wider and wider, and he will be promoted in the future, and the officials will be bigger and bigger, and more and more people will be served, what a good arrangement it is! Lu Shuishi said.
Hearing this, Li Li thought to himself, this woman's mouth is really powerful!
He thought to himself, generally speaking, as a mother, she would not sue her children, this woman did the opposite, there must be an ulterior motive behind it, her motives were abnormal, and she would not sue her relatives unless she had to, unless she hated her relatives very much, she was very friendly to her relatives. If you are not kind to your loved ones, then you are even less humane to others.
The more anxious she is, the more she can't be influenced by her, the more she must carefully research, so as not to make a mistake.
Seeing that Li Li didn't speak, Lu Shuishi continued to add: "My lord, the defendant Lu Zishun often yells and shouts in the middle of the night, disturbing the rest of the people's daughters, and when the people's girls go to him and don't let him shout, he says that he is talking in his dreams, and the people's daughters prove that he is lying, he has never said in his dreams since he was a child, and the dream words are fake, and it is clear that the people's daughters are not allowed to rest well." The purpose of not letting the rest is to let the folk girl die of a headache. Because the folk girl didn't sleep well and had a splitting headache. He knew this, so the defendant used this method to indirectly kill the people's daughter. ”
"So serious!"
"Yes! Look how haggard the folk girl is now! It's like a person who has a serious illness, if it goes on like this, the folk girl will definitely die, this is true, the folk girl is now at the most dangerous moment, and has come to the most dangerous situation, begging the lord to seek justice for the people's daughter, capture the murderer, and bring him to justice. Lu Shuishi said.
"And what do you want?"
"The people's daughter just wants the rebel son to die."
"Is there such a great hatred?"
"Yes."
"You are a widow, you have no husband, and now you have your only son, and you don't want it. Don't you know? When a widow dies and her son is dead, and there is no hope for the son, are you willing to have no hope? ”
"If you are not filial to raise a son, it is better to die, but it is better to die." Lu Shuishi said.
"You have such a deep hatred for your son, it seems, it's not a day or two. If the official sentences him for great disobedience, the death penalty is carried out immediately, and he dies, what will you do in the future? You have no husband, no one to take care of you, and now you have sentenced your son to death, will you not be helpless in the future? Li Li asked.
"You don't have to worry about this, the people have their own arrangements! He was not filial to the people's daughters and tortured the people's daughters, and I am afraid that the people's daughters will be killed by him. You can't live to die a natural death. It is better to strike first and punish it according to law, so that all unfilial children and grandchildren in the world can see the fate of unfilial parents. Lu Shuishi said.
"Well, since that's the case, the official has nothing to say. As for you, don't worry, the official will make a judgment on a certain day, you go back first, wait for the news, the official will definitely administer justice to you, and those who are not filial will be severely punished, only in this way can we show righteousness, let everyone learn well, and make the evildoers afraid. Li Li said.
"What the adults said is very true, the people come to sue, that's the purpose, it's not the people's daughter's business, it's the matter of promoting the law, everyone must have a sense of the law, don't do illegal things, let everyone respect the elderly, this society will be prosperous, let everyone be willing to serve others, so that they will not be traitors and criminals, and have nothing to do. Let everyone fear the heavens, and they will not do anything wrong. Adults just have to rest assured that the judgment will definitely educate many children, and they will respect the elderly well in the future, do not break the law, and those who violate the law will definitely be punished, not not punished, but the time has not come, and when the time comes, they will definitely be punished. Don't get complacent too soon! Whether it is good or bad, there is always an explanation. Lu Shuishi said.
"Your case, this official took it. Don't worry, you go back first. Wait for notification. Li Li said.
Li Li didn't want to talk nonsense with her, if he listened to her, I was afraid that he wouldn't be able to finish listening to her in a day and a night, and she would be a talking basket.
Lu Shuishi reluctantly left the county office, and there was still a lot to say.
After Lu Shui's left, Li Li arranged for the officials to secretly visit the Kuai, disguised as ordinary villagers to go to the village to understand Lu Zishun's personality.
"If you want to say Lu Zishun, he is really a good person. He is courteous, civilized, elegant, and good. treats his mother even more in the morning and evening, greeting him in the morning and evening, asking for warmth, taking care of him, and doing everything well. Villager A said.
"Lu Zishun is a very filial child, he has no father since he was a child, and he takes good care of his mother, a very good young man, it is difficult to find in the world. Thoughtful, more intimate than a girl, his mother really burned high incense, moved the heavens, and gave her such an excellent son. Villager B said.
"Lu Zishun's name is good, it was given by his dead father, and it was not wrong, the name is Shun, and he is really filial, he is too good to his mother, which is enviable, and it is an example for our whole village to learn from. This is really a good boy, ten miles and eight towns, one in ten thousand, whoever says that Lu Zishun is not filial is not a person. Villager C said.
No less than ten villagers were investigated, and all of them said yes and didn't say anything bad, this news is exciting, at least it proves that Lu Shuishi is lying.
Back at the county office, Li Li listened to their visit and nodded silently. This Lu Zishun seems to have no problem, since he has no problem, there is a problem with the complaint. What Lu Shuishi said is not right, it is obviously a slander and rumor slander against her son Lu Zishun, the purpose is unclear, and the motive is not clear, as if he wants to demean Lu Zishun, what is the reason for this situation? actually let her do this to her own son! Attacking one's own son. even did not hesitate to put his own son to death. It's really hard to find such a mother in the world.
Li Li understood, there was a problem here, but he wasn't sure what the problem was, he vaguely felt that the problem must be with Lu Shui's family.
He asked people to pass the Lu Shui clan to the county government.
Lu Shuishi thought that the lawsuit was open, and she was overjoyed, so she immediately rushed over, and she was about to see Lu Zishun being severely punished according to law, she had long been looking forward to this day.
Sure enough, as soon as she heard about this, she was extremely happy, as if she had been living in the dark for a long time, and she wished to see the sun soon.
Li Li saw her and said: "Your son is not filial, after careful investigation and reading a large number of documents, this situation is indeed true, that is to say, when the only son loses one of his parents, he grows up in a single-parent family, lacks complete love, and after a long time, he is prone to negative emotions, such emotions, that is, bad temper, will accompany him all his life, and will take revenge on those closest to him, feeling that the misfortune of this life should not happen to himself, it should happen to others, but he bears it alone, I'm afraid that there is a problem, I feel that the injustice of this society is a torture for myself, and I should be treated fairly and get the happiness I deserve. If you can't get it, you'd rather perish. This kind of person is actually a psychopath and a distorted person. Be especially careful. If you encounter it, try to avoid it, so that you can appear smart and wise. For Lu Zishun, this is the case, he has some changes, that is, he does not consider problems according to ordinary people's thinking, that is, he lacks a certain degree of humanity. Therefore, it is very dangerous to live with such a person, and this official supports your lawsuit. As for you, don't worry, you can live your life with peace of mind in the second half of your life, don't think too much. ”
When Lu Shuishi heard this, she was secretly happy in her heart, the old man approved her form, and it seemed that the victory was in sight, she was happy in her heart, and she didn't know that she could dance with her eyebrows. I don't know what to do, I fidget, and I have nowhere to put my hands and feet.
"This official sentenced your son Lu Zishun to death according to the law, and executed it immediately, in order to punish those unscrupulous descendants and make an example of them, you quickly go and prepare a coffin, and prepare to collect his body after the execution!" Li Li said.
When Lu Shuishi heard this, he hurriedly kowtowed, and said in a loud voice: "Thank you Lord for the fair trial, judgment according to law, great happiness, get rid of the rebel, is a big heart disease of the people's daughter, now only a dose of fierce medicine is missing from the master, and now the fierce medicine is obtained, that is, the medicine is eliminated, thank you very much for your kindness, fair and strict law enforcement." ”
"Don't be skillful, go and prepare, the execution will be fast, and if it's late, it will be gnawed by wild dogs, and you won't have a whole corpse." Li Li urged.
"Okay, master, the folk girl will do it." Lu Shuishi agreed, kowtowed again, got up and exited the court.
Li Li immediately arranged for several makeup followers to follow her and secretly track her whereabouts.
Monitor her whereabouts.
I saw her go out of the county government hall and turn to a secluded place, where in the shadow of the corner, a Taoist priest was standing. When the Taoist priest saw Lu Shui's clan, he immediately looked behind Lu Shui's clan to see if anyone was following him and whether he had a tail.
Caught up with experience, knowing his hand, he had already prepared, and there were several plans, dressed as street vendors, pedestrians, and then street sweepers, these people are common and will not arouse suspicion.
The Taoist priest looked at the surroundings and asked, "How is it?" ”
"Alright. It went smoothly and it was over. Lu Shuishi said.
"That's great, what's next?" The Taoist priest asked.
"The next step is to buy a coffin and bury people."
"Great! It's inconvenient here, it's a place of right and wrong, it's better to leave early, if you want to buy a coffin, go buy it, I still have money here, take it and use it! The Taoist priest said, took out the silver from the blanket and handed it to Lu Shui, who took the silver and was very happy, and went to buy the coffin happily.
It didn't take long for Lu Shui's to really bring a coffin, but before the coffin got out of the car, Lu Shui's arrived at the county government's court. Seeing Li Li's county order, he immediately knelt down and said, "The people's girl went to buy a coffin for later use according to the instructions of the adults, and asked the adults to take a look." ”
Li Li glanced outside the courtyard, and vaguely saw the shadow of a coffin on the ground, as well as the carriage and horses, and there was a figure sneakily looking left and right, sneaky, as if he didn't dare to see people.
Li Li listened to the report of the arrester and the official who disguised himself as a pawn of a peddler, and understood in his heart. He originally wanted Lu Shui's to change his mind and let her think about the mother and son, but he ended up like this? People say that tiger poison does not eat children, let alone people?
