"My father married into the Zhou family twelve years ago."
"In these twelve years, the Zhou family provided him with good food and drink, and never treated him poorly with food and clothing. When his grandparents were alive, they regarded him as a Like a son. My mother is obedient to him."
"Five years ago, Peng Cheng's grandfather and grandmother passed away from serious illness. Outside She even forced my mother to recognize her son as Zhou, so that his surname would be included in the Zhou family tree."
Zhou Ying straightened her chest and recounted the grievances suffered by her mother and daughter: "My mother didn't agree, so Peng Cheng insulted and beat my mother. I protected my mother, so she was beaten too."
"My mother has many old wounds on her body. You can ask the doctor to take a look. .”
In order to save her daughter's life, Mrs. Zhou risked her life and immediately pulled up her sleeves, revealing two scarred arms.
Of course the people outside can't see it, but this does not affect their gossip at all.
“Hey, a woman who rolls up her sleeves and exposes her arms in public is not a woman.”
“No, no matter how bad a father is, he can’t kill him with a knife! This is not the case. Is it ethical? . ”
Occasionally there is a whisper: “If the family is not in poverty, who would want to be the son-in-law. If the father-in-law and mother-in-law die, isn’t it natural for the son-in-law to inherit the family business?”
< br>
People around him raised eyebrows, and an acquaintance spat directly over: "You are so good at talking, why don't you just go home and talk to your father-in-law and let him die early so that he can make room for you."
Emotionally, this is also a son-in-law.
Everyone burst into laughter.
No matter how thick-skinned the son-in-law was, he couldn't help being laughed at and slipped out with his sleeves covering his face. However, after sneaking out, I walked half a circle along the crowd, finally found a place to squeeze in, and quietly listened.
At this time in the courtroom, Yang Judi gave an order, and a doctor came out of the back office to examine Zhou's injuries in front of everyone. Then he reported: "As reported to Yang, the injury on Zhou's arm is indeed an old injury."
Zhou gritted her teeth and suddenly shouted: "There are still many injuries on the civilian girl's body, and the civilian girl is willing to have her injuries examined."
As soon as these words came out, there was some commotion in the court. This Zhou family actually had to take off his clothes to have his injuries examined in public...could it be an eye-opener today?
Zhou Ying was startled and gritted his teeth to stop him, but saw his mother looking over with tears in his eyes.
Zhou Ying's eyes turned red and tears came out of her eyes.
"Ms. Zhou," the princess who had been silent suddenly opened her mouth: "You insisted on having your injuries examined, so you went to the back office to have them examined. Chen Sheren, you go with me to be a witness. ”
Chen Sheren respectfully accepted the order, stepped forward to hold Zhou's arm, and walked to the back office together.
Zhou Ying wiped her tears with her sleeves, straightened her chest, and said loudly: "The daughter of the people still has something to report."
"Peng Cheng was a dirty and despicable person. Not only did he raise his family outside, he also When I come back, I often drink and do things to my biological daughter..."
Boom!
The people outside the court almost exploded.
Chen Zhuo frowned, Magistrate Cui looked stunned, and Lu Xuan's face turned ugly after being shocked.
This Peng Cheng is really a shame to the son-in-law world. After looking for flowers and willows, I went to the brothel to paint a boat. Even if he likes young girls, he can buy a few maids who are underage and attack his own daughter, which is simply a beast.
Jiang Shaohua frowned and looked deeply at Zhou Ying.
Yang Zheng showed off his demeanor as a child of a family of criminals. There was no shock on his face, and he continued to ask calmly: "Is there any witness to this matter?" Zhou Ying endured the humiliation and still replied loudly: "My mother It’s a witness, and the maid next to me can testify.”
Yang Zheng said in a deep voice: "Ms. Zhou is your biological mother, so you can lie to protect yourself. Your maid is from the Zhou family, and what she said is not evidence. Now that Peng Cheng is dead, there is no evidence. Maybe you are trying to get away with it. Deliberately pouring dirty water on Peng Cheng."
Lu Xuan also wanted to speak, but as soon as he opened his mouth, Jiang Shaohua gave him a cool look.
Lu Xuan closed his mouth again.
Zhou Ying wiped her tears hard and answered with her head held high: "Sir, the Min girl has evidence. The Min girl is the only daughter of the Zhou family, and she is usually pampered and raised in the inner house. A man who can get close to the Min girl, Only my biological father."
"My lord, I am no longer a virgin. Please let someone test it."
Everyone was shocked by these words.
The people outside the court were in an uproar again, and someone shouted: "Peng Cheng should be killed!"
Then many people shouted together.
Even though almost all of the people watching were men, they were extremely indignant after hearing such shocking things. As the saying goes, a tiger's poison cannot eat its seeds. Anyone who attacks his own daughter is not worthy of being a human being at all.
Lu Xuan, who had always been filled with resentment and anger, was horrified. He could no longer sit still and stood up suddenly: "This Peng Cheng, since he is a son-in-law, he should be grateful to his in-laws and seek to seize the Zhou family's property. He is so ambitious. He has committed such evil deeds that are worse than animals. It would not be a pity to be cut into pieces by a thousand cuts!”
"Zhou Ying had no choice but to kill his father. Please ask Yang to be more open-minded and spare Zhou Ying the death penalty!"
Yang Zheng turned around and said: "Please don't get excited, Lord Lu. Is this true or false?" , I don’t know yet, let’s find a stable woman first, and then make a conclusion after checking.”
Lu Xuan did not sit down, but looked high and excited: “Zhou. Ying is only ten years old, how could he lie about such a thing? Why would Yang try to find a stable woman to humiliate Miss Zhou? The evidence must be examined."
Zhou Ying had already risked everything and immediately said loudly: "The woman is willing to be examined."
Yang Zheng slightly nodded, turned around and ordered the Yamen servant to go and ask for Po Wen immediately.
The two government officials took over the errand and left in a hurry.
Lu Xuan turned to look at Jiang Shaohua: "Peng Cheng died unjustly, please forgive Zhou Ying's death penalty!"
Jiang Shaohua looked at Lu Xuan with an excited expression for a moment, and then came to the court. There was a subtle silence for a while.
The people outside the government office shouting "Peng Cheng deserves to die" also noticed something was wrong, and everyone looked around. The son-in-law, who had been laughed at before, stretched his neck hard to hear the conversation between the princess and Junma Lu.
"Is Lu Junma sincerely interceding for Zhou Ying?" Jiang Shaohua looked indifferent and said, "Even if there are thousands of reasons, Zhou Ying should not kill his father with a knife!"
Lu Xuan fought hard Take out a breath and say decisively Said: "Peng Cheng was ungrateful, seized the family property, and abused his wife and children. Zhou Ying was forced to have no choice but to kill his own father. His feelings are pitiful and his sins can be redeemed."
"I, Lu Xuan, , is also the son-in-law, and deeply admires his father-in-law. I don’t dare to forget my grace for a moment. I never thought that there would be a shameless person like Peng Cheng who tried to take over the Yue family’s property and would do this to his own daughter! He is worse than a beast and cannot be treated as a human being!”
"Today's County By sparing Zhou Ying's life, the Lord can also serve as a warning to all the sons-in-law. Justice is in the hearts of the people. As long as the princess is here, Nanyang County will not tolerate such sloppy things!"
