Chapter 172 Case Trial 1.0

Judging from the child's appearance and size, he should be young, definitely not more than eight years old. He looks a little thin, not like a child from a wealthy family, but a bit like a child from a family that doesn't have enough food and clothes. .But his clothes are gorgeous.Shen Cha sighed, this was probably another tragedy caused by the stepmother mistreating the original spouse's child.It's just that she carefully looked at the child's expression. The indifference and indifference to anyone or anything on his face did not match his young age.

"Because she forced your mother to death, do you want her to die too?" Shen Cha felt that the case was not as simple as it seemed on the surface, "You hate your stepmother, but these people..." She pointed Referring to the deceased, "They were implicated, isn't it very pitiful? Didn't you think carefully before doing this?"

"My lord, they are not pitiful at all, they deserve what they deserve." The child pointed back at the numb man, "Including this man deserves to die." He raised his head to look at Shen Cha, Xue Ruitian and Jin Miaomiao who were squatting in front of him , and looked at the majestic Shen Haolin, "My lords, if you have any questions, just ask, I will not hide anything, and I will be responsible for what I have done to the end!"

"Well, if you want, you can go to the yamen to clarify with us." Shen Cha accidentally saw a faint mark under the child's collar that seemed to have been beaten by something, she stretched out her hand and pulled the child over , opened the collar, and saw the purple-red marks on the child's neck, and the fire in his heart rose all of a sudden.After tidying up the child's clothes, he took another cloak from Shadow. Shen Cha wrapped the child up, patted his head, looked at the soldiers of the Shen family army, and ordered, "Take this woman and Take this man away together, and let the family of the food stall owner come to the Yamen."

The yamen mentioned by Shen Cha was originally built for the transfer envoy of Jiaping Pass City, but since the old man came to Jiaping Pass City to take charge of important military and political affairs, the post of transfer envoy has completely become a display. This system was simply abolished, and Jiapingguan City was completely handed over to the old master and old master for management.

Although the system of transfer envoys is gone, the yamen is still there. Shen Haolin, Shen Cha, and Xue Ruitian will go to the yamen to handle government affairs for a few days every month. If the common people have any grievances or disputes, they can choose to come in these few days If the yamen seeks help, they can also go to the Shen family army barracks. The barracks has a special place for handling disputes in the city, and ordinary disputes can be resolved.

"Bring all the prisoners in to Lord Ben!" Entering the lobby, Shen Haolin sat in the middle, Xue Ruitian and Shen Cha sat on both sides of the hall, Song Qiyun pulled Jin Miaomiao and later Jin Jing also Sit down in a conspicuous position.Lord Hou knocked on the armrest of the chair, snatched it up to watch the excitement... No, it was Hongye's hand stove who helped, "You..." He pointed at the man with his fan, and pointed at the woman who was sloppy all the way, "And you, kneel down!"

Don't look at that woman howling at the temple fair and all the way from the temple fair to the yamen, but when she really entered the yamen and came to the lobby, she didn't know if she felt the pressure of coercion and the inviolable authority, so she immediately slapped her mouth closed.Hearing that Xue Ruitian asked them to kneel down, without saying a word, he grabbed the man's arm and knelt down on the ground.

"Has the family of the deceased come?" Xue Ruitian stretched his neck and looked towards the door, "Have you not come yet? Or no family?"

"My lord, my lord, general!" The Shen family army soldier sent to call for help ran back and said, "The owner of the food stall has only one person in his family and has no family members. The other dead are friends of the owner of the food stall. The lord's neighbors, like the stall owners, are all single."

"My lords, I am a relative of the stall owner." After entering the lobby, the child didn't need anyone to tell him, he just knelt down on the ground, his waist straightened, and there was still no expression on his face. "He is my own uncle, and the others are his former servants."

"Give him a cushion, don't kneel down!" Shen Haolin asked Ying Shiba to take a cushion for the child to put under his knees, seeing the child politely thank Ying Shiba, he had a relationship with Shen Cha The same idea, this should be a premeditated revenge, the target is the child's biological father, stepmother and this so-called uncle. "Okay, you can start telling your story. First, you have to tell me what your name is."

"My surname is Zhen, and my name is Zhen Dabao. This is my father, and my name is Meng Wu. This is my stepmother. I don't know what her name is. I only know that she was a dancer, a woman my father kept outside." The child pointed out. Pointing to the food stall owner, "His name is Zhen Xing, my mother's younger brother, my uncle."

"Meng Wu..." Xue Ruitian stroked his chin and thought for a while, "Is Zhen's Winery your family's?"

"Yes!" Zhen Dabao nodded, "My lord, can I ask my nanny and the old housekeeper to talk about the grievances between them and my mother? I am young, and some things are not as clear to old people like them."

"Yes!" Shen Haolin nodded, "Where are they?"

"I was locked up in the woodshed in the backyard of Zhen's Winery."

"Go find it!"

Shen Cha flirted with Ying Shiba, nodded, and led a group of people away.At the gate of the yamen, they met Ying Shiqi who wanted to return the dagger. The two said hello and left separately.

After about a cup of tea, Ying Shiba came back with two scrawny old men in ragged clothes. The two old men knelt down in the hall. In the room, his face turned pale in a flash, looking at the two old men, as if he had seen a ghost, and put on an expression of "Why are you still alive".

In addition to bringing back two old people, Ying Shiba also kept an eye out and found several old people from the winery who were not living well. It turned out that several old people from the Zhen family, one of them Also served as Meng Wu's master.

"Everyone is here, let's talk about it." Shen Haolin looked at the old housekeeper, the child's nanny, and Meng Wu's master, and asked them to move chairs for them and brought them a bowl of hot tea. Speaking of the original partner who was forced to die in the room, old housekeeper, you should talk about it first."

"Yes, Lord!" The old housekeeper stood up tremblingly, bowed to Shen Haolin, sat down again under Shen Haolin's signal, and said, "Our eldest lady was forced to death by this dancer. He and Mrs. Liu saw it with their own eyes." He pointed to the nanny sitting next to him, "Otherwise, he wouldn't have locked us in the woodshed, he..." The old housekeeper pointed at Meng Wu, "He He was originally a beggar who was left behind in Jiaping Guancheng, and almost died of freezing at the gate of our winery. Our old owner was a kind person, so he took him in and let him be an apprentice in the winery. At the beginning, he He is still very diligent. He rushes to do all kinds of work and can endure all hardships. He is especially appreciated by his old boss, so Lao Jia accepted him as an apprentice and asked him to learn how to make wine. This man is smart and can learn everything. Soon, in less than two years, I learned the skills of Lao Jia and became a small steward. One day, the eldest lady came to the winery for a stroll, and the two of them bumped into each other when one went out and the other entered. The eldest lady fell in love with him at a glance, and she insisted on marrying him. The old boss was not willing, and the young master did not agree, but there is little room for change in matters that the eldest lady has decided. If she wants to marry this person, she must marry him. She will marry, and no one can persuade her. Therefore, the old boss had no choice but to agree, but made a request, that is, Meng Wu must marry into the Zhen family."

"Are you objecting because of your bad character, or because of your family background?" Xue Ruitian looked at the old housekeeper curiously, "Or is it a combination of both?"

"All!" The old housekeeper sighed, "After he became a small steward, he became a little impetuous and began to hang out in Huajie and Liuxiang. This woman should have known him at that time. Occasionally, someone would see him at the door of the gambling house." After coming out of it, the hard-working young man disappeared, and he became a person who started to pay attention to food and clothing and was unwilling to work."

"Is what the old butler said right?" Shen Haolin looked at Meng Wu, "Do you have anything to defend yourself?"

"No!" Meng Wu shook his head, "The only thing Caomin wants to say is that Wei Niang is not a prostitute, she is just a simple dancer, the kind who sells her skills but not her body. Besides, it's not that she interferes with me and Mrs. Zhen, It was Mrs. Zhen who broke our relationship. If it wasn't for Mrs. Zhen, Wei Niang and I would have left Jiapingguan City and returned to our hometown long ago."

"You've known each other long ago?"

"Yes!" Wei Niang straightened her back and kowtowed respectfully, "Brother Wu and I grew up together, and we agreed that he would marry me when we grew up. But when I was 11 Years old, my family was hit by a disaster, and I couldn’t go on anymore. My old lady sold me to the old lady, who sold me here and became a dancer. After my brother reunited, he redeemed me from there and placed me in a rented yard. At that time, the border was in chaos, and we couldn’t go back to our hometown, so we discussed it. After a while, the battle at the border was over. , and went back to get married. But who would have thought that the daughter of the boss’s family fell in love with Brother Wu and asked him to marry him. He was against it at first. That's right, Brother Wu didn't agree. Finally... Finally..." Wei Niang glared at the nanny angrily, "This old hag gave that young lady an idea, what idea, I don't think I'll tell you, everyone I can guess it." She wiped her eyes and said with a choked voice, "The young lady threatened Brother Wu with this, saying that if Brother Wu refused to agree to this marriage, she would sue the yamen and put him in jail for the rest of his life. Don't even think about coming out."

"Liu Shi!" Shen Cha looked at the old nanny expressionlessly, "Is this person telling the truth?"

"Yes, it's all the old slave's fault. The old slave wanted to relieve the eldest lady's worries, so she made such a bad plan!" Mrs. Liu fell to her knees with a thump, and kowtowed, "This is none of the eldest lady's business. It's none of the young master's business, all the crimes will be borne by the old slave!"

"Grandfather, Lord Hou, General, not only that, there is another hidden story about what Dabao said about the woman forcing his mother to death!"
