Chapter 143: The Dog Jumps Over the Wall
In the court, Zhang Xuehai's affair has been closed, but in the backyard hut of the county government, Song Wan has no idea what is happening outside.
Why hasn't there been news for so long?
Did that guard just ignore my money and not help me to report the news?
Every minute that passed, Song Wan's heart became more anxious.
"Little brother, little brother, I'll give you this golden hairpin, please help me inquire about the situation outside now, okay?"
In a hurry, Song Wan's heart was crossed, and she directly pulled out the exquisitely carved hairpin on her bun, and pleaded bitterly by the door.
"Madame, we have already delivered the letter to you, so please wait patiently."
"Little brother, please, please help me."
Song Wan was not inaudible at all in the house, and in the past few hours, she always vaguely heard a sound from the other side of the court, but it was too far away to hear it really.
"There must be something going on, you can help me go and see."
The guard opened the door a little, and Song Wan immediately handed the golden hairpin out along the gap.
"Okay."
The guard took the golden hairpin and said helplessly:
"Then I'll help Madame take a look."
"Thank you, little brother. Thank you, little brother."
Although Song Wan thanked her repeatedly, she had already hated these greedy guards in her heart.
In the past, when she was favored, these people were respectful when they saw her, where would they beg them!
When she's let go, she won't spare these bastards!
There was a lot of noise in the courtroom, and the guards leaned over and took a look at the situation from a distance.
I saw Zhang Xuehai lying on the ground, the Zhang family was crying wolf, and there was a wail, and I was sure that the Zhang family was probably out of position.
At this moment, a catcher passed by, and the guard hurriedly grabbed him and asked in a low voice:
"Brother Chen, what's going on with the Zhang family?"
The catcher shook his head and sighed: "I really can't imagine that Master Zhang would do such a thing as a beast, no, the county order found evidence of their fornication, and beat Master Zhang!"
"Ah, what proof?"
"Don't you know, today the county order went to the mountain behind Jinquan Temple to search, and when he came out of the house, he was holding a jade pendant in his hand, and his face was blue. Alas, now the two of them are finished."
After saying a few words, he suddenly asked:
"Didn't the county order send you to guard the backyard? Why did you get here?"
The guard scratched his head and laughed twice, "I'll go back right now, thank you, Brother Chen."
After hearing these things, the guards were sure that Song Wan would not be able to turn over this time. Although that golden hairpin can be sold for a lot of money, if the county magistrate knows that he has accepted a bribe, then he will not lose a layer of skin?
Hearing the footsteps, Song Wan immediately stuck to the door:
"Little brother, how is it outside?"
As soon as the words fell, the door opened a crack, Song Wan was overjoyed, and just as she wanted to go out, she saw a golden thing being thrown in and falling to the ground with a crisp sound.
Song Wan fixed her eyes and saw that it was her own golden hairpin.
"W-what does this mean?"
"Less nonsense, do you think your bribes work? I warn you, stop trying to play tricks and keep me honestly in there!"
The door slammed shut.
Song Wan couldn't react for a while, and stared at the golden hairpin on the ground in a daze for a long time.
What the hell is going on out there?
Why did the guards' attitude towards themselves suddenly be so bad that they didn't even call themselves Mrs.?
"What the hell is going on?"
Song Wan banged on the door and shouted hoarsely.
"The county order went to Jinquan Temple to search, and found your jade pendant, madam, the county order treats you well, why do you want to do such a foolish thing with that Zhang Xuehai?"
Hearing the sneer of the guards outside the door, Song Wan was both desperate and be
Wrath.
How did the prefectural magistrate know about the house of Gimsenji?
And the jade pendant, the jade pendant was also found by him?
Who betrayed her? What should I do now, she may not be able to bury Zhang Xuehai. How long has she lived this prosperous life? She can't afford to lose these!
Just when she was six gods and no master, the voice of the master suddenly came from outside the door.
"Song Wan, the county order wants to try her!"
The door creaked open, and the originally dark room was illuminated by the light, making Song Wan subconsciously raise her hand to cover her face.
The master looked at Song Wan condescendingly, and said coldly:
"Song Wan, for the sake of you being still the county lady, we won't embarrass you too much, so we won't give you any torture instruments, so let's go to the court with us obediently."
After speaking, the two little officials stepped forward and dragged Song Wan, who had not yet reacted, out of the room.
"You filthy things, don't touch me!"
Song Wan reacted and wanted to shake off their hands like crazy.
"I'll go myself!"
The master gave the two of them a look, and they also spread their hands, followed Song Wan half a step, and escorted her towards the hall.
When Song Wan walked into the court, there were immediately bursts of disgusted discussions from the crowd, which made Song Wan very embarrassed, so she could only stare at her and express her anger with her expression.
"Song Wan, when you see this official, why don't you kneel!"
When the county magistrate saw Song Wan coming in, he immediately patted the shocked wood and gave him a dismissal.
Song Wan raised her head slowly, her beautiful face full of unwillingness and mockery.
In the middle of the night, she bent her knees slightly and slowly knelt down:
"The concubine came to see the prefectural commander."
Staring at Song Wan's playful expression, and the action as if she was still angry with herself, the county commander did not have the usual pity in his heart.
Instead, when he saw the face again, there was only a disgust welling up from within.
"Song Wan, this official asks you, do you know these two jade pendants?"
Song Wan raised her eyes and sneered:
"Isn't this the jade pendant that my mother left me, how can it be in the hands of adults?"
"Do you know where I found this jade pendant?"
Song Wan shook her head:
"I don't know if the concubine is gone."
"I found it from the hut in the mountain behind Jinquan Temple with you and Zhang Xuehai, and in the secret room of Zhang Xuehai's house!"
"So what?"
"So?"
The county commander laughed angrily:
"This official treats you well, and you don't abide by women's morals, red apricots are out of the wall, and now that the human and material evidence is there, what else do you have to deny, don't confess your guilt quickly!"
"What the concubine hasn't done, the concubine won't recognize."
Song Wan still couldn't admit her guilt, and quibbled:
"These can all be framed and blamed, my lord, are you here to ask, there are so many people present, who has ever seen the concubine cheating with Zhang Xuehai?"
「……」
There was a sudden silence in the courtroom.
The county magistrate looked at Song Wan's still dying and struggling appearance, and his teeth itched:
"Song Wan, can you say such shameless words as a woman?"
Song Wan also blushed, and turned her head to look at Song's father and Song's mother:
"Father, mother, for so many years, you also know what kind of character your daughter is, why don't you say a fair word for your daughter when you see your daughter being framed today!"
As she spoke, Song Wan even burst into tears, and such good acting skills surprised everyone.
"Song Wen, Song An, I treat you as my dearest brothers and sisters, and I have never treated you harshly, how can I seduce my brother-in-law!"
Song An on the side saw her sister crying, and she couldn't bear it.
"Lord Prefectural Commander, I still believe that my sister was framed by someone."
But as soon as his words fell, he felt the knife-like gaze from everyone in the Song family, and he could only retreat in a huff
went back and said no more.
At this moment, Father Song sighed bitterly:
"Daughter, you did something wrong, shame our Song family, and we can't raise our heads, you admit your mistake!"
Song Wen also sneered, and continued:
"How did you ever take me as a sister? I, Song Wen, don't have you, the sister of the watery poplar flower."
"Dad, sister, why are you so ruthless, you'd rather trust outsiders than me!"
Faced with his daughter's request, Song's father turned his head in disgust and looked at the county order:
"Lord County Commander, it is really my fault for teaching such a daughter, from today onwards, my Song family does not have this daughter!"
Hearing this, Song Wan was stunned and stopped crying.
Disown yourself?
All this kind of things are said?
After realizing that her parents had completely abandoned her, Song Wan's heart swelled with sadness.
"Hahahaha!"
Song Wan suddenly burst out laughing, startling everyone.
"You old thing, I haven't been good to you since I was a child. If I hadn't been the county lady, you wouldn't have even given me a straight eye! What kind of gentleman you pretend to be, you're a shameless old thing!"
Song Wan felt that she had no good end, and she no longer cared about her face, and after scolding Father Song, she immediately pointed her finger at Mrs. Wu.
"And you, you're not a good person, what kind of big-tailed wolf are you here?"
"What do you mean by that? Song Wan, are you crazy!"
Mrs. Wu crossed her hands on her hips and rebuked angrily.
"Am I crazy? If not, would our Song family be like this? I think you're jealous of our Song family, so you used these tricks to make a mess of our Song family, you ***!"
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
Mrs. Wu was so angry that she even wanted to step forward and beat Song Wan.
Song Wan stood up, and her tone was incomprehensible:
"That jade pendant, I couldn't find it in the morning, I'm afraid it was stolen by you!"
What?
Faced with Song Wan's creation out of nothing, Mrs. Wu didn't know how to reply for a while, and was stunned in place.
"Heh, tell me that's right. You've long seen me as unpleasant, that's why you deliberately planned such a play, just to frame me and ruin me!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at Mrs. Wu in unison, and even the county magistrate showed a hint of suspicion.
Song Wan saw that this trick was useful, and immediately became arrogant.
"Lord County Order, how many springs and autumns have the concubine spent with you, how could she do such a thing? That jade pendant was indeed left by my mother, but it has been stolen for a long time! It turned out that Mrs. Wu stole it!"
The more Song Wan spoke, the more aggrieved she became, and she looked like she was about to cry.
"Mrs. Wu, although I have had a holiday with you, why are you so vicious and want to put me to death? Not only did you steal the jade pendant that my mother left me, but you also cut it in half, I don't know how you managed to put the jade pendant in those places, but you are planning to fabricate the illusion that I am cheating, right?"
Mrs. Wu was dumbfounded, she couldn't imagine that Song Wan could reverse black and white so much.
"You, you ......"
"Lord Prefectural, as for the cabin in the woods, I don't know that there is such a thing, it's all smearing and framing! The concubine has been wronged!"
Song Wan said, knelt beside Zhang Xuehai with a plop, kowtowed:
"No matter what Zhang Xuehai has done to bend the law, the concubine and him are absolutely innocent!"
At this time, Song Wan said to Zhang Xuehai in a very low voice:
"Son. Help me."
Hearing this word, Zhang Xuehai's dilated pupils returned to his senses a little, and he arched his body hard, crawling forward almost like a maggot wriggling.
"Lord County Commander, after so many years of humiliation, I have done something to live up to the expectations of adults, but seducing a married woman is such a thing as losing people's conscience, and I have really never thought of it!"
