After the whole family was swept away, I lay down flat

Chapter 458 Secret
Jin Jiashu looked at Jin Liu's stiff expression and smiled coldly: "You have been fighting with the Hu family for several years. At first, I was still young, but then I gradually started to remember things and I remember them clearly. You only have two sisters. My stepmother married into the Hu family. Her brother-in-law Hu Yuanwai once brought people to our house and broke down the door of my house. He accused you of kidnapping his wife, but then falsely accused him of murder. Wife, I'm very angry. But you asked a familiar official to come and take him away. "That was after the second brother of the Jin family got involved with the former Zhizhou's confidant.

That Hu Yuanwai had been involved in a lawsuit for several years with the second wife of the Jin family and the Liu family, and was finally found guilty. There are many witnesses who can prove that he indeed injured his wife many times. Therefore, even if no one saw the body, many people believed that he really beat his wife to death.

His missing wife, Liu Dainiang, Jin Liu's sister, was judged by the former magistrate to have been beaten to death by her husband. Even her body was thrown into the river and washed away, with no bones left. Hu Yuanwai was sentenced to death in prison, but his family and relatives have been spending money to support him and used various reasons to delay the execution. The former magistrate was also happy to make an extra fortune, but he turned a blind eye to this. Therefore, until Jin Juren left Zunhua Prefecture, he was still imprisoned in the prefectural prison. It was said that he was seriously ill and was expected to die before the verdict was reversed.

It's just that Zunhua Prefecture now has a new governor. Although the new governor is also good at wealth, he may not cover up the mistakes of his predecessor and continue to support this death row prisoner. Will he be sentenced to death, will he die of a serious illness before execution, or will his conviction be overturned?
Jin Jiashu sneered, and did not care about the life or death of Hu Yuanwai, who had a bad habit of beating his wife. He only said to Jin Liu: "You swore in front of others that it must be Hu Yuanwai who killed your sister. For this reason, Hu Yuanwai You were convicted of murder, and most of the family property was ordered by the government to be compensated to your natal family. You adopted the Hu family brothers and sisters, and seized the remaining property of the Hu family in their names. Now the Hu family brothers and sisters are still with you. . I thought you were just kind enough to adopt your nephew who lost his parents. But just now you said that your sister died of illness in Beijing and was buried in the name of my mother... Then the theory that Hu Yuanwai killed his wife is just the truth. Contradictory?"

Jin Jiashu raised an eyebrow: "So you are making a false accusation? Why? To plot the Hu family's property?"

"No!" Jin Liu said hurriedly, "We...we didn't make false accusations! Although Dai Niang died of illness in Beijing, she got sick not because that bastard named Hu injured her too seriously. ? ! She escaped from the Hu family with injuries, but she didn't dare to go back to her parents' house, so she had to come to find me. It happened that our family went to Beijing... She sold her clothes and jewelry to get travel expenses, so she hired a car to go to the capital. . She was afraid that the man named Hu would catch up, so she rushed on her way without even seeing the doctor to give her medicine to treat her injuries, thus delaying her treatment..."

As she spoke, she began to shed tears: "Diniang will eventually die of her injuries, all because of the Hu, and she will not be able to return to her roots after she dies. When I think about this, my heart feels like a knife is being twisted. . So after returning to my hometown, I discussed with my mother-in-law and asked the man named Hu to kill me!"

As for the Hu family's property and so on... isn't that what it should be? The Hu family took her sister's life, so it was natural for her to pay for it. What's more, she also adopted two children left by her sister, and the children's food and clothing also cost money!

Jin Jiashu just wanted to sneer: "After all these years, you have never thought about digging up your sister's bones and sending them back to your hometown for a good burial. You still leave her alone in the capital, a lonely ghost. You too Are you embarrassed to say that you are sad about her death?"

Jin Liu wanted to defend herself, but Jin Jiashu didn't want to hear it anymore: "Well, this matter has nothing to do with me. As long as you don't ask me to kowtow in front of her grave and call her mother, was she beaten to death by her husband or was she harmed by your sister?" What does it have to do with me? It's just that the Hu family brothers and sisters are living in your house now. If you don't want them to know the truth, you'd better keep your mouth shut and don't bully them too much. In the name of raising them, you forcibly took away your brother-in-law's property from the Hu family. If they don't have enough food and clothing in your house, you won't be able to wash away the crime of making money. How did their mother die? They want to accuse you of killing your mother and framing your father, and you have no way to defend yourself!"

Jin Liushi shuddered subconsciously and muttered: "We really didn't seek his family's wealth... Although we did get some money, most of it was taken by the master and the people in the execution room... We Just drink some soup..." The Hu family's money was not as much as she thought, but it caused her to give a clue to the Master and the executioners. It was a huge loss! Later, when their second brother-in-law obtained the property of the eldest brother-in-law, they originally only had to give a share to the master and the clerk of the household, but now they were threatened by the people in the execution room and had to include them. If not, their second wife would have become rich long ago, so how could they continue to stay in the countryside and be rich people? !
Jin Jiashu didn't want to hear her shameless excuses at all: "These things have nothing to do with me. I just want to know one thing. My mother has clearly left the palace, why is she missing?!"

Jin Liushi swallowed. Perhaps because her biggest secret has been exposed, she is no longer secretive: "I really don't know. At that time, everyone thought she died in the palace... Later I heard that she had a My younger sister was working as a palace maid next to the Queen Mother, and we were shocked when the two sisters bumped into each other! Now that we think about it, she was probably recognized on the street after leaving the palace..."

She recalled the solemn atmosphere on the streets back then. The city gates were closed, there were many more officers and soldiers patrolling the city, and there was a curfew at night. There are rumors that someone from the Wu family escaped in the fire, and the Sun family sent private soldiers to search the streets for people. Anyone suspicious would be arrested immediately, and there was no news after that. On the street where they lived at that time, a family married a girl from Wu Guozhang's house as a daughter-in-law. The Sun family dared to kidnap the little daughter-in-law away and never came back again. If someone knew that Jin Juren's wife had been sent to the palace by the Wu family, and saw someone on the road, they might also tie her away?
Jin Liushi felt guilty. When Xu Qiuniang was first selected by Wu Guozhang's family, she was a little carried away and showed off to the neighbors who looked down on her. Maybe someone would report her to the Sun family afterwards.

Jin Liushi talked about the past with Jin Jiashu, and whispered: "At that time, many people were kidnapped by the Sun family, and no one dared to ask where they went... If your mother really left the palace at that time, I guess... he was taken away too, right?"

Jin Jiashu was silent for a long time before speaking out: "If this is really the case, who should I ask to ask, is my mother dead or alive? Where is she buried?"

Mrs. Jin Liu shrank her head, and after a while, she said hesitantly: "Things are like this. You thought your mother was dead. No matter how sad you are now, it won't help. Now the Sun family As a powerful person, even if you have an aunt who is a popular person in front of the Queen Mother, she will not be the opponent of the Sun family. I advise you to keep quiet, just pretend that you don't know anything, and don't tell your aunt. Let her think that your mother died of illness. Wouldn't she be even more sad if she knew that your mother was taken away by the Sun family and her body was gone? Brother Tong, you are a filial child and you shouldn't make your elders sad. "

"You don't need to worry!" Jin Jiashu sneered, "I know what to say to my aunt. But you... If you don't want people to know what good things you have done, and you don't want to be accused of murder, it's best to Be smart and don’t say a word of what you shouldn’t say!”
