"You are so slanderous!" Mo Laotian was so angry that he was trembling and gritting his teeth, "Ms. Su, I didn't expect that a woman like you could be so vicious and slander us without any basis!"
"You also know that you can't slander without any evidence! Isn't that what you are doing? Why do you only allow the state officials to set fires and not the people to light lamps? It's so shameless!" Su Tai retorted, so eloquent that the onlookers were stunned. The people all looked at him and applauded.
The county magistrate took a deep breath and glared at Mo Laotian angrily, "Quiet! Mo Laotian, what Su said is reasonable and reasonable, and cannot be said without evidence. If you couldn't produce evidence to accuse Shen Yi, you would have been punished. A crime of contempt of court!”
The three people of the Mo family almost pissed themselves when the scarecrow hit them, and they kept kowtowing and begging for mercy.
Poor people must be hateful. Su Tai remained unmoved and looked coldly at Mo Chunxiang who was huddled up in a ball. She sneered, "Sir, the Mo family can't produce evidence of our murder, but I can produce theirs." As for the motive of the murder, please ask a doctor or woman to examine Mo carefully. You will know if she was beaten by Xiong Kai. Whether the Mo family hates Xiong Kai or not is not up to us. Let’s look at the evidence!" br>
Su Tai's words were conclusive and her expression was determined, so everyone believed her.
Mo Laotian and Guanshi guarded Mo Chunxiang to the death and did not let the Yamen touch her.
The county magistrate yelled angrily, "Mo Laotian, Guan family! If you disrupt the court again, you will be beaten twenty times!"
If the twenty-big board really goes down, Mo Laotian and his wife will be disabled, and they will burst into tears and let go, crying so miserably.
After the doctor and several stable women showed Mo Chunxiang in the inner hall, when they came out, their faces were so solemn that they were almost dripping with water.
The county magistrate knew there was a problem at a glance, and the problem was very big. "Po Wen, tell me first, how is Mo's family?"
The two stable women exchanged glances, stepped forward and said respectfully: "Return to your lord, there is not a good spot on Mrs. Mo's body from her neck to her feet. They are all whip marks. Some places have been injured repeatedly and have become suppurative. However, she should not be fine recently. The wounds were scabbed after being beaten, but her husband was not a human being. He not only beat her with whips and sticks, but also burned her with fire. The skin on her stomach was all ruined and full of scars.”
The two of them had delivered babies to women for so many years, and they had seen all kinds of women's bodies, but they had never seen such a shocking body as Mo's.
As soon as these words came out, Mo Chunxiang immediately aroused the sympathy of many people. Some people vented their anger and cursed Xiong Kai, saying that he died a good death and that the murderer was doing harm to the people.
The county magistrate frowned, patted the gavel, and looked at the doctor, "What did you say?"
The doctor pondered for a moment and then slowly said: "Sir, doctors are not allowed to reveal the privacy of patients, but Mo's situation is quite special, and I dare not hide it. Mo's body is severely damaged, and some women have hidden diseases. In addition, she must have suffered inhuman abuse, and I’m afraid she won’t be able to get pregnant again.”
"Hiss!" There were gasps outside the courtroom.
Mrs. Guan held Mo Chunxiang in distress and cried loudly, then scolded Xiong Kai's ancestors for eighteen generations. Her acting like this confirmed what Su Tai said.
The county magistrate began to doubt the three Mo family members, "Mo Laotian, when did the Mo family leave the Xiong family? How did they return?"
Mo Laotian's heart skipped a beat, knowing that the county magistrate was suspicious of them, he kowtowed desperately and said in a panic: "Your Excellency, we are really unjust. We did not kill Xiong Kai. It was he who beat my daughter every day. I My wife and I were worried that our daughter would be beaten to death by him, so we would go there every day to take a look
Xiong Kai is not a human being. He only beats my daughter and doesn’t give her a bite to eat. My daughter has been able to survive until now only because we secretly gave her food. The windows of Xiong’s house are so small and narrow that even a bowl can’t fit in. , I can only send cakes to my daughter, two cakes a day, which can barely fill her stomach.
On February 17th, I went to deliver food to my daughter as usual, but found that Xiong Kai was not there, so I went there again in the evening. I asked my daughter if Xiong Kai had hit her, and she said she hadn’t hit her today, so I didn’t. Without thinking much, we sent her food as usual the next day, but she said that Xiong Kai was not there. The situation was still the same on the third day, so we guessed that Xiong Kai would not come back so soon.
My wife and I forced our son to break the lock, and then we rescued my daughter. I originally had two sons, one died in the war, and the other did not want us because of his wife. The family was separated, and there was no one to help. Our old couple only took care of us. My daughter tried so hard to figure out how to kill Xiong Kai!
We haven't seen him since the beginning! If you don’t believe me, you can ask my neighbors. Our family lives and cooks every day, and there are people at home every day. It is really impossible to go to Daxunhe River in Shenjiazhuang to kill people!
Xiong Kai only had his uncle in Liujiazhuang and his long-dead aunt near the Daxun River. Now that they are all cut off from him, it is impossible for him to go to his relatives. The only possibility is to go to Shen Yi for revenge! How could he, a cripple, defeat a man like Shen Yi who had healthy limbs and had been on the battlefield? Shen Yi must have killed him! ”
The more Mo Laotian talked, the more certain he became, as if this was really the case.
Shen Yi didn't panic at all and just bowed to the county magistrate respectfully, "Sir, these are all Mo Laotian's one-sided words. He has no evidence. I am upright and not afraid of suspicion, but I also hope that your Excellency can catch the real culprit as soon as possible. Before the case progresses, I can stay at the county government office and be there whenever you are called.”
Shen Yi had said so, and the people really didn't doubt him. After all, Shen Yi was the victim from the beginning, and Xiong Kai was the villain. Even if Shen Yi really killed him, they could understand that such a villain deserved his death.
Seeing that everyone sympathized with the Mo family, Su Tai felt displeased. She turned around and walked towards the onlookers, saying crisply: "We are not afraid of being bitten, but I don't want you to be deceived. The Mo family was beaten by a bear. She is not innocent. When she was at her husband's house, she was very lazy and vain. Everyone in Ximen Village knew it.
Her husband's family was very tolerant of her because she gave birth to a son, but in the end, it only fueled her arrogance and took it for granted. The Xiong family went to Mo's family to reason with her, and Mo's parents still protected their daughter. Something happened to Xiong Kai, so Ms. Mo packed up her things and returned to her parents' home overnight, leaving her mother-in-law and children alone.
Just letting the elderly and children struggle to survive is not counted, she has done even more incredible things.”
"Bitch, you dare to frame my son and daughter! Sir, she is talking nonsense, slap her!" Guan was very excited and kept shouting, with angry eyes that wanted to eat Su Tai alive.
Su Tai sneered and said: "I, Mrs. Su, swear to God, if I tell a lie, the sky will strike me with thunder and I will die! Do you dare to swear?"
Guan was so angry that she couldn't speak. She kept rolling her eyes as if she was going to faint. (End of chapter)
