Chapter 609: What to Defend Yourself
Di Ying's words were interrupted by Zha Weida.
The more Zha Weida listened, the more his face became red, and finally broke out after holding it to a certain extent.
"Say no more, don't say it again!"
He hissed and growled.
Then, the sitting figure fell down.
With his elbows propped up on his thighs and his entire waist bent, his hands clutched his head in pain, and a choked sound came out of his throat.
Di Ying's heart sighed slightly.
Cha Weida, no, it was Zhong Wei's reaction, which had confirmed Di Ying's accurate inference about all this.
He didn't want to go on and ask any more.
If you want to say more and ask again, Di is willing to change the time and place.
After all, he also wants to investigate this case to the end, even if it is the Governor's Mansion and Wu Conglie? Scold!
However, just as Di Ying was about to end this questioning, Zhong Wei finally spoke up.
"Master Di, you, why, why didn't you come earlier......"
The words that made people cry caused the guards who were listening to the trial to not help but reddened their eyes and deflected their gaze.
But the adults sat there and didn't move, and they could only continue to prick up their ears and continue to listen to such a human tragedy.
"When my brother wanted Hui'er to participate in the selection of the people of the Governor's Mansion, I stopped it. Hui'er is thirteen years old, capable, hardworking, and good-looking.
We just need to help her find a good family, wait for her to be married, and happily send her to marry.
But my brother wants her to learn more rules, and wants to raise her more delicately, so that he can marry her into a family that can afford to read, so that he can earn a good future for her future children.
After listening to my brother's words, I felt that my eyelids were too shallow, and I shouldn't only know how to stare at the present and not know how to look at the future.
So, I agreed.
After that, I went with my brother to give Hui'er a ...... Sent to the Governor's Palace.
Because of Hui'er's appearance, she was directly hired by the Governor's Mansion.
However, we are only willing to let Hui'er sign an employment contract, so Hui'er is also a sprinkler girl.
For us, we are actually very content and relieved.
The little girl at the bottom will not have the opportunity to anger the master.
But we don't know much about the powerful people, let alone Wu Conglie.
We are all farmers, our ancestors have been farmers for generations, and we are poor farmers who have never even entered the state city a few times in our lives.
Not to mention people's hearts and human nature, even the doors of rich and noble families have not been seen. How is it possible to understand how ugly the human heart can be......"
Zhong Wei broke down and cried as he spoke.
The whimpering cries that were so suppressed were mixed with the sound of the wind blowing outside in front of the open door, and the sound of it sent chills down the spine and chills to the marrow.
But no one moved, and no one thought to close the door, just cold, just listened.
Listening to Zhong Wei's voice that seemed to be squeezed out of the depths of his throat.
"Because of our naivety and ignorance, Hui'er ...... He's dead. When did you die? How did he die? We didn't know anything about it at the time.
The little girl ring on the ground floor has a day off every three days, which is what we listened to the housekeeper when we signed the employment contract.
At first, Hui'er really went home every three days.
Looking at her fresh and happy appearance, we ate the delicious food she brought back, and our hearts were happy for her.
She was also like a happy house sparrow, and when she came home, she chattered all kinds of interesting things she saw and heard.
It helped us open the door to new worlds one after another, and our whole family was enlightened.
My two children, like a candy child, are always clinging to Hui'er, and they always want to hear more good stories.
This made us at that time glad that we had a vision......
But on the first day of the seventh month, Hui'er, who was supposed to go home, never appeared in anticipation of the whole family's neck.
We waited a day and a night.
On the second day of the seventh month, my brother couldn't wait any longer, so he took the embroidered shoes made by my sister-in-law for Hui'er and rushed to the state city.
But he ...... Never came back......"
Speaking of this, Zhong Wei's sadness turned into hatred.
He propped himself up and said again with hatred: "On the third day of the seventh month, I went to the door of the Governor's Mansion to inquire, but the people in the Governor's Mansion didn't pay attention to me at all.
I just said that there was no girl named Hui'er, and I didn't see anyone looking for her at all.
I insisted on asking.
Because Hui'er was the one I watched walk in, watched her put her handprint on the contract, listened to the things she said about the Governor's Mansion, and tasted the strange snacks she brought home.
How could it not be?
There's no way my brother hasn't come to Hui'er.
But instead of asking about the end, I was beaten up by the gatekeepers.
See the scar on my head, right? See the scars on my hands, right? I said that it was inadvertently left when I was making an umbrella, but it wasn't, in fact, it was made by them that time.
I survived my injuries and went home.
I didn't want to show my family the injury, but I didn't want to delay the time outside because of the injury, so that the family would worry about me again.
But my son couldn't stay idle.
Hui'er's whereabouts, my eldest brother's failure to return, and my injuries all aroused the anger in his heart, which was only ten years old.
He actually quietly ran into the state city, and quietly entered the governor's mansion from the dog hole.
When I found him missing, I asked my brother's son to come out to look for him, only to find his mangled body in the pit of the mass grave.
My brother's eldest son is a steady man, and he also went there after inquiring. Not only did I find my son's body, but I also found my eldest brother's.
It's also the appearance of being beaten so hard that it can't be put together. He could recognize it by the bloody clothes of the two of them.
Our family was devastated.
My eldest brother's son endured his heartache and continued to inquire about the Governor's Mansion.
Only then did he inquire thoroughly: it was Hui'er who hit the pillar without anger after being forcibly occupied by Wu Conglie.
My brother was beaten to death by the gatekeepers, and I was able to save a life because of his death and the mercy of those gatekeepers.
Or rather: they didn't dare to go too far on the street.
And Hui'er's body, we still don't know where it is......"
Zhong Wei couldn't go on anymore.
Xie Jing handed over a cup of warm tea, Zhong Wei thanked him and took it, and drank it all.
And Di Ying, like all the guards, listened to Zhong Wei's soul scream and secretly clenched his fists.
Zhong Wei gasped deeply.
After a long while, he continued.
"Our whole family can't afford to take revenge. There are old and young, how can a large family of people go to meet with powerful people.
My eldest brother's son sharpened his knife day and night, and the whole family was unstable.
I want to persuade, but I don't know how.
I thought: when my injury is healed, I will discuss a plan with him.
But before my injuries healed, that night, I ...... Suddenly, a group of masked men broke into my house......
They were unhurriedly slashing at my family...... Not even afraid that their screams would reach the village......
After being stabbed, my mother stumbled and ran into my room, ripped off the strip of cloth from my head, and wiped the blood from her body on my face.
She asked me to play dead...... She also tried her best to drag my upper body down the pit and put me on my back on the edge of the pit.
Unexpectedly, this trick succeeded. I managed to survive.
Maybe...... It's that they don't care if I'm a seriously injured person or not. Perhaps, because there were too many people who came, and some of them didn't know whether they killed me or not......
They didn't even bother to mend the knife......
I could hear my daughter moaning hard until she died.
No one gave her a stab so that she could walk happily......
I survived, like a piece of waste.
At that time, I watched with my eyes open, and watched with my eyes upside down, as they slashed and killed my relatives, and then watched them carry the corpses of my relatives and leave my house with a swagger......"
