Chapter 518

The faces of the other five members of the Zhou family were pale, and the father and son, who had official status and fame, were sweating profusely, but the two kneeling mother-in-law and daughter-in-law shouted ferociously.

"That's right! My lord! It's all Wang Chenan's instigation! It's his fault! He is the one who forced our master to find Bai Rui!"

"Whoever this broomstar gets her, will be unlucky. We drove her away to keep the whole family, just because Wang Chen'an wants to marry her now, and our family got bad luck again!"

"First, she was sentenced to exile by her natal family, and then killed my poor son. Her premature birth was God's punishment for her. Our family managed to live a peaceful life for a few years, and now our family's future is ruined because of her! She deserves to die! She deserves to die!" Zhou Hongshou's wife patted her thigh, wiped her tears and wailed, without any image of an official wife, looking like a shrew in the market.

The men of the Zhou family panicked, turned around and covered their mouths to keep them quiet, but the emotional mother-in-law and daughter-in-law couldn't restrain themselves at all, they struggled and moved their hands and feet, and the hall was a little chaotic for a while.

Bai Rui glanced at them indifferently. She had suffered a lot in those years and had heard countless insults. At this level, she didn't feel pain or itching at all, but their ugly appearance now made people feel disgusted.

Uncle Li moved two steps calmly, and stood between the plaintiff and the defendant, blocking the sight between the two parties.

Fu Yin slapped the gavel forcefully, making everyone tremble in fright, the women of the Zhou family slowly calmed down, and the proper serious atmosphere finally returned to the courtroom.

"A large number of diabolical wives, as the family members of the seven-rank judges of Dali Temple, insulted and cursed the plaintiffs in public in the court, and contemptuous of the court. The two crimes were punished together. Come and drag the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law down, and each will be punished three times. "

After finishing speaking, Fu Yin threw down two red-headed lottery representing the execution.

The yamen servants in the hall yelled, and four vicious slaves quickly came in from outside. They dragged one of them, and dragged the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law who were panicking and screaming for mercy to the open space between the court hall and the Yimen. He walked over and forcibly stripped off their skirts, cotton trousers and small clothes in front of all the onlookers, exposing their snow-white bare buttocks, and then tied them to the bench used for torture and began to execute the torture.

The staff punishment for the first class is ten boards, and ten more for each first class, and thirty for the third class, of course, for a woman with delicate skin and tender flesh, if she was beaten thirty times, she might die on the spot. After the treatment is done, Zaoli has a measure in his hands. He will not kill them, but adjust the severity of his attack at any time according to the situation. In the end, they will only lie on the bed for three to five months before they can recover from their injuries.

This is what Bai Kou meant. Bai Rui suffered in the past few years, and only beat them a few times, which is already lenient. After the beating, whether they committed suicide by themselves or not, Bai Kou didn't care. Such a shameless, vicious, selfish woman would be better off for the world if she really died.

The white bare buttocks of the women soon became bloody and bloody, and the screams gradually died down, but the governor in the court continued to ask the men of the Zhou family what happened to the dowries they embezzled after they kicked Bai Rui out of the house. where.

Zhou Hongshou had no choice but to admit that he had sold the dowry. Except for family expenses, the rest of the money was used to marry his youngest son, including the dowry and various expenses of the marriage, as well as the new home of the youngest son and his wife after separation. .

"The seven grades of Dali Temple judged affairs, blatantly violated public order, good customs and social morality, embezzled the daughter-in-law's dowry, but drove the daughter-in-law and granddaughter out of the house, and left the mother and daughter to fend for themselves. Why not! For the sake of your own future and safety, you actually have the face to find your daughter-in-law and want to force her to marry you, what you have done is worthy of your official title!?"

Fu Yin blew his beard and stared, slapped the gavel and cursed angrily.

Zhou Hongshou couldn't argue for his family, there were all witnesses and material evidences, this lawsuit failed miserably, and Wang Chen'an was implicated.

Seeing that the Zhou family members were silent, Fu Yin patted the gavel again, announcing the time of his ascension tomorrow, allowing the tortured mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to recuperate at home as appropriate, and then announced their resignation.

The Zaoli who were being executed outside were still beating, and they did not untie the rope between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law until they had beaten enough. Their legs and thighs were already dripping with blood, and there was no good flesh. Big damage.

Outside the yamen, the passenger carriages of the Ou family car dealership had been waiting. Seeing that the plaintiffs and witnesses from Tianshuifang had come out, the coachmen greeted them respectively to board the carriages and go back to rest.

Bai Kou took care of the housework for a whole day in the mansion, because the third wife brought a lot of dried seafood when she came home last year, so this year the public specially sent someone to the third master's place to buy seafood, the soup of Fu Lu Shou has already entered The list of must-have dishes for the Chinese New Year in the mansion. Today, the seafood convoy returns home and sends them directly to the ice cellar. The purchases by the public are much more than what the third lady bought last year. Bai Kou and the people in the warehouse checked and registered while going to the ice cellar Li Fang, too busy to turn his head.

The girls in Zhongmingyuan knew that Bai Kou couldn't take care of this right now, so they made dinner by themselves, and it was time for dinner when Gu Yun arrived home.

After dinner, Gu Yun said good night to the elders, went back to his room and changed into the clothes he went out with, after a while, Bai Kou also wore a fur-collared cloak and carried a glazed lantern, the two left the mansion from the stable, and went to the inn Uncle Li understands the details in today's court.

The two of them came out of the small gate of the stable and walked in the alleyway under the outer wall. Gu Yun took the lantern from Bai Kou's hand and carried it by himself, holding her hand with the other hand, stepping on the icy and slippery road under his feet , although slow, but also steady.

On a cold winter night, there is still snow on the ground, the doors of every house are closed, and there is no sound in the workshop. The two of them walked slowly, as if they were taking a walk after dinner. They arrived at the inn slowly, and opened the door. His eldest son hurriedly led them upstairs to Uncle Li's upper room.

Uncle Li didn't sleep, he was waiting all this time. This was an appointment. Before the case was closed, Gu Yun would come over every day to listen to him talk about the trial process that day.

The three of them talked for half an hour. What happened in class today was as expected. Zhou Hongshou's family was powerless to refute Bai Rui's evidence. When Wang Chen'an came to class tomorrow, he would definitely deny the private transaction with Zhou's family. The handwritten letter that the guards designed to steal is undeniable evidence.

As long as there are no other accidents, the lawsuit will be pronounced in the next few days. Bai Rui will definitely get back her dowry, and if she fights for it, she may be able to get more compensation. Home is better.

The only surprising thing is Wang Chen'an. If the Zhou family is telling the truth, and they know that Bai Rui's exact whereabouts were told by Wang Chen'an, then the source of Wang Chen'an's news is worth investigating. Is there someone behind him? , one link after another, one link after another, the ultimate goal is to hold Bai Kou in someone's hands.

Bai Kou is just an official servant.
