Chapter 212 Disappointed in One Person
Peng Zhang's purses were bulging on both sides, but now the melon seeds are half knocked out.

With melon seeds sticking to her lips, she echoed in a bad tone: "That's right, there will be no rewards for your kindness!"

Chang Sanshi and his wife never thought that this fire would burn on their own heads.

Chang Xi was a little annoyed to hear the second uncle talk like this. He thought nothing of the matter and slandered their family without leaving room.

The three brothers of the Chang family stared at Chang Jingui with puffy eyes, unblinking and a bit penetrating.

Such a reaction fell into Chang Jingui's eyes, as if he was right.

If they stepped on the cat's tail, they would be ashamed and blow their hair.

Chang Jingui continued with a mocking tone, "I admit that my mother is really not good to Chang Sanshi and the others."

"But when I left, my mother was still a living person. Why didn't my mother die when I didn't come back for more than a month?"

"I suspect it was Chang Sanshi and the others who did it. My mother has been displeased for a long time."

"Murder my mother while I'm not around, and drug my mother to avenge her hatred."

"Of course they don't dare to admit that they have done bad things. My daughter-in-law has always been weak, so she naturally became their scapegoat."

"Master, I think you should check Chang Sanshi's family."

"Why do you only interrogate my daughter-in-law and not other people with suspected motives?"

"Isn't it unfair for you to do this?"

Chang Jingui kept questioning, Chang Sanshi and Wen Furong were speechless in shock, and Chang Xi's beautiful eyebrows were tangled together.

At this time, the yamen servant took the initiative to speak: "Your question, I have already interrogated it at the time, and they have no suspicion."

"But." Chang Jingui was not reconciled.

The master waved his hand and interrupted Chang Jingui's sophistry: "Are you questioning our ability to handle cases?"

Chang Jingui bowed in fear: "Students dare not question the government."

The master did not pay the bill: "Hmph, I think you are not only brave, but also very brave!"

The yamen servant took the words away: "First, if their family is the culprit, they wouldn't take the initiative to invite me to handle the case."

"Secondly, why did I find your daughter-in-law in a ruined temple in the wilderness?"

"She doesn't come back home, why is she willing to sleep outside?"

"Could it be that she likes to suffer by nature? But I went to your house to see it, and life is very poor!"

After saying this, the surrounding villagers burst into laughter.

Chang Jingui became impatient, his eyes were red and he clenched his fists tightly, but the yamen servant remained as still as a mountain, continuing to speak.

"Thirdly, if their family is a murderer, I'm afraid they won't come here today. Their whole family coming together means that they have a clear conscience."

The yamen servant's voice was full of arrogance, and he completely rejected all Chang Jingui's thoughts.

Among the crowd on the outside, there was a heartfelt applause: "The poor man is right, that's the truth."

In fact, Chang Jingui just subconsciously felt that this matter had nothing to do with his family.

Who told the eldest family not to be their own?
If they are not biological brothers, they are not of one mind with their own family.

Therefore, he felt that Chang Sanshi's family suffered the most from his mother's hands, and they were most suspected of committing the crime.

But now he was blocked by the yamen servants, except for gouging them with his eyes from time to time, he couldn't do anything, and he couldn't save his wife.

Watching Chang Qinshi being dragged back to the hall, the county magistrate continued to pat the gavel for interrogation.

"Chang Qin, are you recruiting or not?"

Faced with the magistrate's questioning, Qin's eyes were tearful, and she cast her eyes on Chang Jingui.

But he didn't have fame after all, so he didn't dare to go against the official.

Then he urged Chang Qin to look at him in a low voice: "What's the use of looking at me? The magistrate asked you something, why don't you answer truthfully?"

How does the Qin family answer this?It was supposed to be a fatal thing.

Chang Qin didn't know who to count on now, she was speechless alone.

The county magistrate's tiger eyes stared: "If you don't say anything, you will be dragged out to beat 20 big boards!"

"There are plenty of boards in the yamen, beat until you are willing to speak."

Hearing that he was going to be beaten with a board, Chang Qinshi shook his head in fear, shaking his tears and nose along with it.

The yamen's plank was hard, and she lost half of her life after 10 blows, and if she took another 20 blows, wouldn't she be beaten to death alive?
She had no choice but to cry hoarsely and said, "I beg the county magistrate to spare my life."

"Before the woman's mother-in-law died, there was nothing unusual about it. I had already gone to bed at that time, so I didn't know anything."

Her answer, Master did not pay the bill.

"Since you are already in a deep sleep, why did you say that there is no abnormality? Shouldn't you say that you are asleep?"

"Chang Qin, don't try to play tricks in the lobby. You don't want to suffer from flesh and blood again. Hurry up and do it!"

"I, I." Chang Qin choked up helplessly.

Chang Jingui was beside him, impatiently waiting: "What are you?!"

"Our family has a clear conscience. If you have any grievances or difficulties, just speak up and let the old master decide for our family."

Chang Jingui looked at his daughter-in-law with eyes that hated iron and steel, and felt that she was just mud that couldn't support the wall.

She pulled Chang Jingui's clothes and cried, "Jingui, you trust me, you trust me, right?"

"My mother-in-law's death has nothing to do with me."

At this time, the master followed with a sneer and said, "It really doesn't matter at all, what are you panicking about? You even went to the Xinke scholar's house to take you in?"

This sentence made everyone's brains explode.

Especially Chang Jingui, whose clothes were still being pulled by his wife, and his eyes slowly showed fear.

Isn't the new scholar Huang He?
Everyone in the family knew that the students in the academy were all his competitors.

He often sighed at home that Huang He was one of his competitors in the imperial examination.

I thought that after listening to Chang Xiuzhu's words, after I went to Liaocheng, I kept thinking about how to trip up Huang He and make him miss the chance to take the exam.

Who would have thought that the sky would not come true, he repeatedly invited Huang He to drink, but was rejected.

He was also told to focus on his studies and drink after the exams. He failed to set up a trick and hated Huang He.

When the list was announced, he really felt that the yellow crane was his biggest stumbling block.

Huang He was on the list, but he was better than him in his usual homework, but his name fell behind.

For this matter, he was frustrated for a long time.

Not only was he sad in his heart, but he also couldn't raise his head to be a man when facing the classmates of Shigu Academy.

Huang He is now the man of honor, but his chance, which should have belonged to him, is gone.

Chang Jingui has already firmly believed in Chang Xiuzhu.

Now that my daughter-in-law seemed to be very familiar with the Huang family, I couldn't accept it and yelled at her out of control.

"Say, when did you meet?"

Chang Qinshi was still crying, but now that Chang Jingui saw her tears, he no longer felt distressed, and kicked her away fiercely.

"Get your dirty hands off and don't touch me."

Chang Jingui brushed off his clothes in disgust, and continued.

"I didn't know that I knew scholars other than me in the village. Qin, I really want to get to know you again."
