pastoral wife

Chapter 112
At this time, the town is also boiling. You know, today is the day for the trial of the murderer who killed seven people in a row. Naturally, everyone shouts and beats this kind of inhuman murderer, especially the family members of the victim. All of them, they were able to block the water around the yamen, and all of them were red-eyed with anger, wishing they could kill the murderer with their own hands, and even prepared rotten eggs and rotten vegetable leaves.

Jiang Chu looked at the posture at the gate of the yamen, and felt pain in his heart. How could such a proud person like Ji Yao have suffered such humiliation?

As soon as the magistrate came out, people shouted loudly to execute the murderer.

The magistrate slapped the gavel: "Quiet!"

The crowd quieted down.

"Take people as criminals!" The magistrate gave an order.

But at this moment, I suddenly saw an official rushing into the crowd, and rushed to report: "My lord, it's not good!"

"Why not?" the magistrate asked.

"Again, another dead man!"

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar.

The magistrate hurriedly asked, "What's going on?"

"The corpse is gone. Judging from the blood on the scene, the killing method is the same as before!"

People immediately boiled over: "Isn't this person caught? How could such a thing happen?"

"Could it be a mistake?"

"It shouldn't be, this is still going to end!"

Jiang Chu's hand in her sleeve loosened slightly, and she was dead again, but she knew that this move must be the means of the person behind it to get Ji Yao off the hook, it was really selfish of her, Hearing this news, she was also happy in her heart.

She was happy, but also sad. She knew that this matter was not as simple as a murder case. For the person behind the scenes, those lives were nothing to dispose of at will. He didn't care how many people died. What they want must be to force Ji Yao to do something.

Jiang Chu didn't know what was going on, because she didn't know anything about Ji Yao's past, but it was definitely not a good thing. For Ji Yao, he didn't know whether it was joy or worry.

Jiang Chu lowered her eyes with a complex expression. She was not interested in the hustle and bustle around her. She knew that this turning point must mean that Ji Yao could get out of this case. What she was really worried about was that after that.

The magistrate pondered for a while, and then he slapped the gavel again: "Today's case is postponed, and we will decide another day, and we will withdraw!"

Now that things are beyond expectations, it is naturally impossible to continue.

But at this moment, Jiang Chu shouted sharply: "The woman still has a lawsuit to sue!"

The magistrate was taken aback for a moment: "You are?"

Jiang Chu said resolutely: "Jiyao's wife!"

The crowd was in an uproar again, how courageous it is to dare to stand up at this juncture.

"Then what are you going to sue?" Zhixian was also shocked.

Jiang Chu raised his foot and kicked Mrs. Zhao round to the center of the yamen lobby: "Sue this person for stealing!"

"what happened?"

Jiang Chu said loudly: "This lady bullied my husband-in-law and was imprisoned unjustly. There is no man in the family, so she became malicious about my family property. She sneaked into my house last night and tried to steal more than 1000 taels of my family property! There was a lot of trouble last night. We Everyone in the village is a witness!"

As soon as the words fell, Li Zheng stood up consciously: "That's true."

Mrs. Zhao really wanted to cry, but Ji Yao's case was reversed too quickly, and there was nothing wrong with Jiang Chu for a long time, but she was involved in it!
The county magistrate has seen this kind of small case a lot, interrogated him, saw that the witnesses and material evidence are all there, and there is no room for denial, so he directly said: "Sentenced to one hundred boards, executed in five days, and imprisoned for three months , as an example to others!"

When Mrs. Zhao heard the one hundred boards, she rolled her eyes and passed out.

Coming out of the yamen, Liang Shi was still worried: "Is Yao'er's case good or bad now?"

Jiang Chu comforted: "Don't worry, mother, this case has now turned around, it must be a good thing, and nothing will happen."

Only then did Liang feel relieved.

It's just that Jiang Chu said so, she was still worried in her heart, and didn't go anywhere these days, just waiting for the outcome of Ji Yao's case.

"Sister, Mrs. Zhao was beaten in public at the gate of the yamen. It's so lively, why don't you go and see?" Jiang Zhen watched Jiang Chu being bored in the inn these days, and wanted to cheer her up a bit.

Jiang Chu shook his head: "What's the point of listening to her howling ghosts and wolves?"

Because Ji Yao's case has not been fully resolved, and Jiang Chu is not in a hurry to buy a house in the town, so he temporarily stays in the inn, and makes plans when Ji Yao comes out.

"But sister, you can't be so bored all the time..." Jiang Zhen hadn't finished speaking.

Jiang Chu's complexion changed suddenly, and he put his finger on his lips lightly.

Jiang Zhen quickly stopped talking.

She listened carefully, and there was indeed movement outside the door, so she nodded slightly to Jiang Zhen again.

Jiang Zhen didn't know why, but continued to say: "It's not a solution for you to be bored in this inn all the time, you might as well go out and walk around more, the case of brother-in-law..."

Jiang Zhen was talking nonchalantly, but Jiang Chu walked briskly to the door, and opened the door abruptly.

But he saw a man dressed as a servant standing at the door, his face turned pale from shock: "I, I..."

Immediately realized: "The little one is here to deliver tea to the guest officer."

As he spoke, he raised the teapot in his hand again.

A sharpness flashed in Jiang Chu's eyes, but the corners of his lips raised into a smile: "I just said that I was thirsty and wanted to come out to order some tea. Your inn is indeed very careful."

Seeing that there was nothing unusual about Jiang Chu, the young man felt relieved, and said with a laugh: "That's what a young man should be."

Jiang Chu took the tea, thanked him, and closed the door.

His face turned cold instantly.

Someone is already watching them.

Jiang Chu heard the footsteps outside the door leaving, and then said in a deep voice: "Sure enough, this turning point is not a good thing."

Jiang Zhen quickly asked: "Sister, what's going on? Is there something wrong with this person?"

"Of course there are problems."

"Then why don't we arrest him!" Jiang Zhen said hastily.

Jiang Chu shook his head lightly: "He's just a young man. If he is abolished, he will definitely send someone else. I don't know if I will be able to detect it. It's better to use him first."

At least she has a little information, which is better than a black eye.

Jiang Zhen couldn't understand, but he didn't stop asking. His sister must have her reasons for doing things.

But at this moment, seeing Ji Wei rushing open the door excitedly, he said excitedly: "Sister-in-law! Brother is free!"

The haze in Jiang Chu's mind seemed to dissipate in an instant, and he stood up suddenly: "Really?"
