Huzhou Mansion.

Guo Langzhong said to Luo Shi, who was kneeling at the bottom: "Zheng Luo, you can think about it, I'm afraid that these thirty sticks will go down, and you won't be able to stand it!" ”

The originally quite amorous Luo was already embarrassed, with black hair scattered, tattered clothes on his body, and blood stains in some places, and it seemed that he had been severely punished.

Hearing Guo Langzhong's words, Luo Che cried and shouted, "I said, I said." With that, he fainted. Dai Chang motioned to the female jailer next to her to wake her up with cold water. After a long time, Luo slowly woke up, and the female jailer helped her up, and whispered in her ear: "These officials are already good-tempered, if Lord Chen Dong comes, it will be difficult for you to die." ”

Luo Shi's tears hurt his heart, knowing that his fingers had been broken, and his ribs hurt even more, thinking of Chen Dong's rumors, his heart trembled, so he gritted his teeth and said: "This tea cake mold is indeed changed by me, I just want the Zheng family's wolf heart and dog lungs to go down to the eighteenth layer of hell." ”

Guo Langzhong shouted: "Why do you want to harm the Zheng family!" ”

Luo chuckled: "Zheng Ping just wants me to be beautiful, saying that he is cared for in every way, don't you know that Zheng Ping was in the light-faced girl of Wuzhang Building that day?" ”

Guo Langzhong said: "But I know that Zheng Ping has put the daily care of the tea shop in your hands, whether it is the Zheng family's house or the shop, is it a fact?" ”

Roche turned his face and said, "It's like this now, but these were not in my hands in the early years. I also get up early and work late to take care of the shop, and the money I earn is also used by the Zheng family. ”

Guo Langzhong nodded to the clerk next to him, and after a while, Zheng Ping was brought up.

"What the hell are you for?" Zheng Ping saw that Luo was kneeling in the hall, and the person had been punished, and couldn't help but sigh: "I ask myself to treat you like a jewel." When you first entered the Zheng family, my eldest daughter made things difficult for you everywhere, and I maintained it several times, and then let Sister Ying marry early, not just to make you feel more comfortable at home. Later, I handed over the shop to you to take care of, so that you can be the lady of the Zheng family with peace of mind. What are you for? Do you know that this poisoned tribute tea thing is to kill the head, you are also the wife of the Zheng family, you can't escape death, don't you think about yourself, think about our Duo'er. ”

Zheng Ping looked at Luo, he couldn't stop his tears, he really didn't understand why Luo's wanted to hurt him. In prison, Lord Dai came to tell him that Luo was poisoned, he really didn't believe that Luo would do this, he even thought that Dai Chang tortured Luo in order to charge himself, and Luo's delicate woman must have been beaten into a trick, but just outside the hall, he heard Luo Shi's confession with his own ears, and he must ask why this is.

Luo sneered and said, "Do you know about your father Zheng Yishun snatching my family's tea trees?" ”

Zheng Ping was stunned, and then said in surprise: "My father once spent fifty taels of silver to buy twelve wild teas from your Shuanglin Village. You mean it? ”

"Heh, what fifty taels of silver to buy wild tea. It was found by my grandfather in the mountains behind my house, and my grandfather would make tea and make tea cakes from that batch of wild tea. Because the quality of the tea cakes is particularly good, it is still a tribute to our Shuanglin Town. At that time, although my Luo family was not rich, they were also peaceful and happy. But your father bought off He Qing, the county magistrate of Shuanglin County, which is now He Zhizhou, what they said This mountain is owned by the government, and the tea trees should be owned by the government. My grandfather didn't dare to fight with the officials, so he could only hand over the tea trees to the county government. Who knew that in the past few days, the vicinity of the tea tree was guarded by the people of the Zheng family, what an official camp, phew. Luo Che spat hard at Zheng Ping.

"How is this possible? My father obviously paid fifty taels of silver to the Luo family. The fifty taels of silver I saw my father take from his house. Zheng Ping was shocked, turned back to Guo Lang and said to the middle people in the hall: "Ladies and gentlemen, this fifty taels was not a small amount back then, my father did buy the tea trees of the Luo family and invited a Chinese person to testify. The delivery voucher is in triplicate, one for each of the Luo family and our Zheng family, and the other is filed in the county office. Adults will find out about this matter as soon as they look into it. ”

Luo sneered: "You have already colluded with He Qing, but it is just a document, just forge it casually." ”

Zheng Ping glanced at Luo Shi deeply, wiped his tears, knelt down a few steps, and saluted and said, "If this is the case, everything is up to you with one mouth." Ladies and gentlemen, the credentials can be picked up at my house, and the Chinese people of that year were the Lizheng of Shuanglin Village. Adults can also ask. Fifty taels of silver was not a small amount of money back then, although my family has been making tea for generations and has a lot of money, it has been raising for some time for this fifty taels of silver. These fathers told me back then. ”

Luo was about to speak, Guo Langzhong said to her: "This matter will be known as soon as you investigate, you don't have to say more." You said that this tea tree was taken by the Zheng family, so you want to take revenge on the Zheng family. Have you waited for more than ten years for this revenge? And you yourself can't escape death, even your five-year-old daughter. The cost of revenge is really great. ”

Hearing that his daughter could not escape her fate, Luo stayed for a long time, tears fell like rain, and said slowly: "My grandfather was obsessed with making tea, and he walked all over the mountains just to find suitable tea trees. The leaves of these twelve tea trees were born with a very fine white hair, and my grandfather was overjoyed when he saw it, and the tea cakes he made were as white as milk after grinding and punching. With this tea, my grandfather became the king of tea in Huzhou that year. After the Zheng family took away the tea trees, my grandfather became ill. In order to treat my grandfather, my father sold my sister Huanniang. My sister has been raised by me since she was born. My mother gave birth to her and hurt herself, but she didn't want to look at her, and she didn't have any milk. I went behind her back and asked for milk from house to house, so that I could feed her. Later, I saved my rations and boiled them into rice soup to feed her. I changed her clothes for her to wear. In this way, she finally grew to the age of five. Although we are sisters, we are actually like mother and daughter. My lord, do you think this revenge is reluctant? Roche said, spread it on the ground, and said no more.

Zheng Ping was anxious, angry and sad when he heard this, and shouted: "Qiao Niang, do you know how big this crime is? Do you think you dragged the Zheng family down to the eighteenth layer of hell, can your Luo family escape? My father didn't lie about what happened back then, weren't you deceived by your father and second uncle? My poor Doer, she's your daughter, she's only three years old, do you know if you killed her! ”

Guo Langzhong was shocked and said, "Pay attention to your words in the hall. You don't have to say much about these things as soon as you look them up. Whether it is collusion or not, I will judge for myself. Zheng Luo, let me ask you where the poison came from? ”

Roche replied: "The poison was made by my grandfather more than 20 years ago, and it has been kept unused. My grandfather not only made tea, but also made medicine. He was also the one who taught me how to put this poison in the mold. After that, he looked at Zheng Ping, smiled and said: "In the past, you always said that I don't know how to make tea, don't mix it blindly, but I have told you many times, and when it is yellow, raise the temperature by another liter." My grandfather tried it a hundred times, and he didn't have to worry about the tea being scorched, so he mastered the heat well, and the tea came out whiter. ”

Zheng Ping's lips turned white, he kept kowtowing, and said: "My lord Mingjian, I didn't know about this at all, it was all done by this crazy woman. There are more than 20 people in my Zheng family, all of whom are innocently involved. ”

Guo Langzhong continued to ask: "Zheng Luo, let me ask you, why did you put all the poison in the mold of Xiaofeng Tuan? If you want to harm the Zheng family, you can put it in any mold. ”

Roche endured the pain and sat up straight and said, "I originally planned to put some of each mold, but my grandfather didn't leave much poison, and it wasn't enough for so many molds. I secretly tried to make this batch of molds, only this small phoenix ball is the most fine, and the amount is small, which is convenient for poisoning. ”

Guo Lang said in the center, and this is the same as the girl of the An family who saw Luo Shi drink half a cake and Xiaofeng Tuan.

Guo Langzhong asked again: "If you want to harm the Zheng family, do you want to rebag the mold of this little phoenix group?" Wouldn't it be better for the Zheng family to make those toxic molds? ”

"Heh, I didn't expect that the cow shopkeeper took it out separately in order to prevent this mold from being used by outsiders. That day, I heard the shopkeeper Niu in the study saying that the tea cakes made from Xiaofengtuan's mold were lighter, and asked the officials if they could make them. I thought they weren't going to use this batch of molds. That night, I deliberately asked Yinhong to go to the warehouse to see, and the shopkeeper took out all the small phoenix molds, I was afraid that something would happen, if I missed the tea household conference, the mold would not be able to be used next year, so I asked Yinhong to put the mold back. Roche laughed and cried and shook his head.

Guo Langzhong said: "Take Zheng Luo's down and show her injuries." Bring Luo Youde up for questioning, and let Luo Youcai wait. ”
