ed for half a year.""Is this a heart's beauty radish What is heart's beauty""I don't know, but carrots can never be wrong!"A family gathered around a box, busy for a long while, finally picking out do...Even the magistrate couldn't bear to let Wang Youwei speak, so he instructed, "First, listen. Let me ask some questions and get to the bottom of this."
Having said that, he banged the gavel and asked, "Wang E, do you know that your father killed two people over a decade ago"
Wang E trembled in surprise and subconsciously retorted, “Impossible, sir. My father is a good man!”
"What's impossible!" The two families in mourning clothes immediately cried out in protest.
An old man shouted directly: "Back then, my second dog suddenly brought back a lot of silver. The family was afraid and asked him, but he wouldn't say. Later, it was still the neighbor, Zhuan Zhuzi, who came over. They drank too much together, and we only heard a few words."
“They said that the Wang family was a sucker, and went to great lengths to find a son-in-law. They just pushed the man off the mountain on purpose, thinking they had killed him. Unexpectedly, the man only broke his head. They even got some silver! They also said that Broken Gold Beach is a good place to get rich, and they made a fortune there.”
Another old woman was also wiping tears, “Yes, I heard it too. Later they brought back a sum of silver again, saying that the Wang family is wealthy and influential, and they'd give any amount of silver to find a good son-in-law for their heir apparent, but not long after, both my Second Dog and Chuanzhu disappeared.”
We thought these two fellows had struck it rich and gone somewhere to gamble their fortunes, but they've been gone for so many years now, something's definitely not right.
A middle-aged woman was also crying and said, "Yesterday I went to my mother's house and heard some gossip at a teahouse. They said that the son-in-law of the Wang family in the alley had also been injured in the head and married into the Wang family, but his family didn't treat him because they were afraid he would remember what happened before. I suddenly remembered what Erdogzi said, it must be them who helped the Wang family kidnap people, and the Wang family silenced them!"
Upon saying this, she burst into tears, crying out, "Ertou! You died so unjustly! For over ten years since you left, I've raised the children and cared for your parents. I've suffered so much hardship!"
The rest of them burst into tears too!
Wang E's face was as white as paper, her body trembling uncontrollably. She argued desperately: "Impossible! You're lying! Just listening to a few idle words and you want to slander my father!"
And Wang Yuwai, looking at Wang E, his expression was filled with rage, "I was injured on Suijin Beach that year. Old Master and Zhongshu carried me back to the Wang family. Wang E, tell me the truth, how did I get hurt Was it really an accident falling off a cliff"
"Yes, Uncle Zhong, it's Uncle Zhong!" an old man shouted, "Ergouzi mentioned this name! I was afraid the silver would run out, but Ergouzi said he wasn't afraid even if it did. He said he was going to find Wang Laoye at Sihai Ju to get more silver, but when he came back empty-handed, he said he was going to look for Uncle Zhong again. Uncle Zhong is his helper and wouldn't dare refuse."
When someone shouted "Uncle Zhong", Wang E lost all hope and slumped to the ground, defeated.
Where did it go wrong Why are all these things that were hidden for so many years being exposed now!
And Uncle Chung, if I had known about this, I should have taken care of him too back then!
Wang E forcefully endured her anxiety and shouted, “False accusation! This is all a false accusation! I want to find my uncle, my uncle is Wang Bo Wei, you can’t bully me, an orphaned girl!”
The people outside were also in an uproar!
"No wonder the Wang family wouldn't treat Wang Yuanwai, he was kidnapped and brought back!"
"Yes, yes, we should have knocked Wang the Overseer unconscious and taken him back to his family's estate."
"This is too outrageous! He knocks anyone unconscious and takes them back!"
"The Wang family is afraid that Wang Yuanwai will recover, and they'll remember to seek revenge!"
"Yes, if it wasn't for the trouble with Sijaiju and Dr. Sun blabbing about Wang's dirty laundry, Wang would have just died and that would be that. Even as a ghost, he wouldn't know how miserably he was betrayed."
"This royal family is truly a den of wolves! Father is so vicious, and his daughter isn't any better!"
In the hall, the Prefect frowned even deeper.
Although these accusers spoke volumes and weren't afraid to expose the fact that they had used ill-gotten gains, he still felt their accusations were somewhat far-fetched.
His son had been missing for over a decade, and he hadn't cared at all. Now, after just hearing a few words in a teahouse, he came rushing here to complain wearing mourning clothes
Is he still certain that his son was murdered
But now this case can be confirmed as a premeditated murder, and it cannot be ignored.
Besides, under the watchful eyes of everyone, the Wang family's only daughter moved out of her clan's stronghold. If he didn't continue the investigation, it would seem as if he was afraid of the Wang family...
On the second floor of a restaurant across from the government office, private rooms were being swarmed by people who had come to catch a glimpse of the commotion.
But the best one, it was booked up early.
Liu Zhiheng sat by the window, cracking melon seeds with great enthusiasm. He turned to Mrs. Cui, who was wearing a hat, and smiled: "Jinerou, I thought the three Li brothers were pretty good at first, but today I admire Li Jian even more! He's really a ruthless character! After everything is settled, I must cooperate with him in business. A person like this will never go wrong anywhere!"
"Mrs. Cui nodded, "Brother Wen also said the same."
After finishing her words, she was still a bit worried and asked, "Brother Wen won't be able to come, will there be any trouble outside the city Also, I told Yu Sheng everything clearly about Suijin Beach"
"Don't worry, Yu Sheng sent a message from there last night, and the one outside the city was handled personally by Ye Shan." Liu Zhiheng waved his hand, signaling her not to worry.
In the end, he said again: "I say that old geezer should die a hundred times over to atone for his sins. It's unbelievable that Wen Shidi actually sent his useless grandchildren to work as tenants on the South Manor Estate. Humph, they got off easy! They should be thrown into prison along with their father!"
Mrs. Cui laughed and said, “That man is the most crucial witness, we have to appease him first. When things are settled, there will naturally be other explanations. If their family honestly cultivates the land, it's also leaving themselves a way out. If they are not honest, there are many salt fields and mines in the south that can make them work hard.”
Liu Zhiheng was about to speak, but suddenly there was a commotion on the street below.
A group of officers led a thin, elderly man dressed in coarse cloth over. His face was unnaturally pale, as if he hadn't seen the sun for a long time.
In the courtroom, the old man knelt on the ground. Before the magistrate could ask any questions, Wang, the county magistrate, rushed over and grabbed the old man's arm fiercely. "Zhongshu, Zhongshu! For so many years, I have treated you well. I paid off your son's gambling debts. You actually deceived me for so many years!"
"You said, what exactly happened back then Who am I How did I get hurt in the head The old master said that I fell off a cliff and he saved my life. He wanted me to marry into his family and repay the Wang family for saving me!"
"I've paid my dues! I endured the ridicule of being called a son-in-law, treating myself like a beast of burden, working tirelessly to manage the business. I earned so much silver for the Wang family, and I treated Wang E so well! Is all of that fake
"
"I don't believe it, I don't believe it!"
Perhaps out of anger, Wang Waiyu cried and spat blood at the same time.
He had come straight from the sickbed, wearing only an ivory-colored tunic. At this moment, his chest was stained with blood, so much that it pained everyone's eyes and made them involuntarily tear up!
There's nothing worse than this in the world!
