Old Madam Wu interjected dissatisfiedly: "Don't say that you are pitiful, but my Wu family is all gangsters and bandits, knowing the son Mo Ruomu, Wu Jiang was born to me and raised by me, he has been by my side for decades, can I still not know what kind of person he is?" He is self-careful, he meets a stranger on the street, he personally helps people to the hospital, and also pays for people to treat diseases, working with people He would rather suffer his own losses than fight for more points, besides, he has a wife and a concubine at home, and he doesn't go to the Qinlou Chu Pavilion on weekdays, how can he do what you said about beasts? ”

Ignoring Mrs. Wu, she looked at Mrs. Qu and continued: "Grandmother, believe it or not, I didn't mean to ruin the reputation of the entire Wu family, I also thought about threatening Wu Jiang so that he would not continue to be evil, but I had no evidence and couldn't easily threaten him, I even thought about finding an opportunity to castrate him, but Grandpa He said that it was so easy to die, I really couldn't make this decision." I was dissatisfied with my grandmother, although it was a good idea, but I felt quite relieved, and I wanted Wu Jiang to taste the taste of being humiliated and ridiculed. ”

Congxi paused for a moment and said: "Grandmother, I have said what I should say and can say, and I have admitted what I have done, and I am at the disposal of my grandmother." ”

Qu Zaichen, Jian Xuan, Yun Xian, and Lan Chu all looked at Congxi with complicated eyes, but none of them spoke.

Before Mrs. Qu could speak, Mrs. Wu had already said: "Nan Nan, don't be partial to her, although she said that she was the Tao, there was no evidence to show that she was lying to protect herself, and she was not ashamed, and continued to humiliate Wu Jiang, my Wu family, I can't spare her." ”

Old Madam Qu ignored Old Madam Wu, glanced at Qu Zaifan and Jian Xuan, and said: "Zaifan, Master Jian, since the Wu family has reported to the official, this matter should be dealt with by the government according to the law, what do you think?" ”

Qu Zaifan glanced at Congxi, hesitated for a moment, and said: "Congxi has already admitted that she made the shopkeeper Wu unconscious, and then hung it outside the street, she has already used her private deeds and has a bad reputation, and she can be imprisoned, but if there is evidence to prove that what Congxi said is true, and Congxi is to prevent more women from being victimized, she can only do this act, or she may not be punished as appropriate." Qu Zaifan paused for a moment and said: "Even if there is no evidence, this is not a major crime, and Congxi will not be punished too severely. ”

Jian Xuan looked at Mrs. Qu and said slowly: "If the Wu family resolutely let the government arrest people, I can now bring Congxi back to the government to be imprisoned, in fact, whether it is the Wu shopkeeper or the evidence that Congxi was wronged, it is not difficult to find, if what Congxi said is true, then the woman bullied by the Wu shopkeeper should be a few kilometers around the Wutong Street Yuan embroidery garment store, your Wutong Street Yuan embroidery store is not a famous store, there will be no distant hosts and guests who deliberately come to your store to buy clothes, even if there are, it is a minority, and the people who buy clothes and dresses in the Wutong Street store are ordinary small households." When Wu shopkeepers bully women, they will tie their hands, and there will be strangulation marks on their wrists when they struggle.

Then, within a few kilometers of Wutong Street, I sent people to visit ordinary small households, and asked women who had strangulation marks on their wrists five to five months ago, and even if the women who had been bullied did not dare to tell their family members that they had been bullied, their family members should also notice the strangulation marks on their wrists, and no matter what the reason for the women told them that their wrists were injured, their family members did not know the real reason, and when the government inquired, they would not worry too much and should tell the government truthfully.

If the government can't find a woman who has been tied and strangled in recent years, or only one or two who have been tied and strangled for other reasons, then it proves that Congxi is lying, and then the government will not only punish Congxi, but also post a notice to inform the people of Jinzhou that Wu Jiang has been wronged, so can Mrs. Wu and the shopkeeper Wu be satisfied? ”

Wu Jiang was timid, and Old Madam Wu immediately smiled and said, "If this is the case, the Wu family is grateful, and there must be a generous gift to thank Lord Jian for his busyness." ”

Jian Xuan said lightly: "No need, where the responsibility is, it should be done." Jian Xuan raised his head and stared at Wu Jiang and said: "However, if the government finds that many women have been tied and strangled, I will take them all back to the government, and the government has a way to let them tell the truth. Wu Jiang, if what Congxi said is finally verified to be true, the official guarantees that there must be your place on the guillotine after the autumn. ”

Wu Jiang was at a loss, sweaty, and didn't dare to answer.

Old Madam Wu immediately said in a loud voice: "Lord Jane, what do you mean, are you threatening Wu Jiang?" I understand, you also protect this slut, just now I thought your relationship was unusual, I'm afraid there is no woman with her wrists tied, you will also say yes, right? You dare to bend the law for personal gain and favor you, even if I go to the capital to sue the emperor, I will not let you go? ”

Jian Xuan said calmly: "Old Madam Wu can't trust me, you can ask the newly appointed Li Governor's Mansion to investigate the case personally, if you can't trust Li Governor's Mansion, you can go to the provincial government to ask the inspector to come to Jinzhou to investigate the case, if you can't even believe the inspector, you can indeed go to the capital to sue the emperor, but no matter who investigates the case, the truth is the truth, and there are only two results I said, but in front of the saint, I am afraid that Wu Jiang is not the only one who is implicated in his life." ”

Jian Xuan stared at Old Madam Lu and said word by word: "Old Madam Lu, I will bring you back to the mansion from Xi, if you want to ask Governor Li to investigate the case, please go back to the mansion with me and explain the situation to Governor Li, maybe Governor Li will agree to personally lead someone to screen the households around Wutong Street to check if there are women whose wrists have been tied and strangled." If Mrs. Wu is not at ease, she can also send her family to investigate, how about it? ”

Old Madam Lu was stunned, not knowing what Jian Xuan meant.

Jian Xuan said again: "Old Madam Lu, if you don't even worry about Governor Li's mansion, then you can only go and ask the envoy yourself, I don't know how many days it will take for the old lady to invite the envoy, I have to send someone to guard Wutong Street, lest someone make a mess, but how many days can I wait?" ”

Old Madam Lu hesitated for a moment and said decisively: "I'll go back with you and ask Governor Li to investigate the case personally." ”

Old Madam Lu turned her head to look at Wu Jiang and said, "Wu Jiang, you..." Old Madam Lu saw that Wu Jiang's face was pale and sweaty, and she changed her words in surprise: "Wu Jiang, what's the matter with you, are you uncomfortable?" ”

Jian Xuan strengthened and said: "Wu Jiang, even if Governor Li personally leads people to search, within three days, he will be able to search all the households near Wutong Street, and then you and Congxi will be dead and alive, and you and Mrs. Wu will go back to the mansion with me, right?" ”

Jian Xuan gave Cang Ze a look, Cang Ze took a step forward, wanting to grab Wu Jiang's arm, Wu Jiang took a step back in fright and said, "No, no, we won't sue the official, we will withdraw the case." ”

Old Madam Wu immediately said angrily: "Wu Jiang, what nonsense are you talking about, that villain is right in front of you, why should we withdraw the case?" ”

Wu Jiang lowered his head and didn't speak, Old Madam Wu stood up and approached Wu Jiang and said angrily: "Wu Jiang, you speak to me, you want to admit that those things are inferior to beasts, are you really doing it?" How do you still behave after admitting it, what are your difficulties, say? ”

Wu Jiang still bowed his head and didn't speak, Old Madam Wu was even more angry, and wanted to go over and beat Wu Jiang, Congxi suddenly said in a loud voice: "Old Madam Wu, haven't you ever thought about a question? Even if Wu Jiang doesn't understand Danqing, he can't describe my appearance that day, but the portrait drawn by the government, the portrait drawn by your Lu family, he has seen it, Wu Jiang is not blind, he must have found that your previous portrait is not like me at all, I dangle in front of Luo Yi's eyes every day, but Luo Yi can't recognize the woman on the portrait is me, it can only show that the other portrait is not half similar to me, and even two people who are completely different from me.

But did Wu Jiang mention to the government and you that the portrait was wrong? You have been looking for me for five months with the portrait, has Wu Jiang mentioned it to you, and Lu Lianke has mentioned it to you, the woman in the portrait is not the villain they encountered? ”

When Mrs. Wu heard this, she was stunned, she really hadn't thought about this problem, maybe she didn't dare to think about it.

Congxi sighed and said: "If my guess is correct, Wu Jiang and Lu Lian deliberately lied to the government and you, because Wu Jiang himself knows what he has done. But Wu Jiang doesn't know my identity, I don't know if I have any evidence of his evil deeds, if the government finds me, maybe all his evil deeds will be exposed, and he will also be punished by the government, so Wu Jiang doesn't want and doesn't dare to let the government find me.

Old Madam Wu, the Wu family, the Qu family, and the government tried to find me for five months but couldn't, not because of their vast powers, but because your son Wu Jiang didn't dare to let you and the government find me. Your Wu family has been scolded and rumored in the past five months, and the culprit is your son, not me. ”

Old Madam Wu was stunned for a moment, then turned her head to glare at Wu Jiang and shouted, "Wu Jiang, you speak to me, if you don't speak, I will die here?" ”

Wu Jiang lowered his head for a long time, slowly raised his head and said, "Mother, don't force me, I..." I don't want to die. ”

Old Madam Wu was incredulous, and her voice trembled: "So... She's telling the truth, did you really do those things that are not as good as beasts? ”

Wu Jiang bowed his head again and was silent, this time it was a tacit acquiescence.

Old Madam Wu angrily pounced on Wu Jiang: "You are not as good as a beast, you..."

Old Madam Wu fainted as soon as she arrived at Wu Jiang's side, and Wu Jiang hurriedly stretched out his hand to support Old Madam Qu. Wu Yong's face was pale, staring at Wu Jiang in disbelief and incredulity. Congxi found that Mrs. Wu's wife Yan Ling and concubine Hongling didn't seem surprised that Wu Jiang admitted to doing evil.
