Huanxi Farm: Pick up a husband for farming

Chapter 378 Elective Retrial
The round night is star-sparse and pitch-black, and it is connected to the beacon fire of the distant border city. It is thousands of miles away.

The entire Jiangcheng fell into a silent sleep, but the Wang family's mansion was not peaceful. The noise coming from the west wing made Da Geng, who was walking at night, look sideways.

"No! I won't sign! I'm going to court tomorrow!"

"Father, mother, I want to tell you several times that I ran away from home by myself! I am the one who wants to live in Rong's house! I want to testify for Brother Qing, he didn't force me!!"

The shrill yell pierced the silent midnight, but even this still couldn't stop the tragedy.

At this time, Wang Zhilian's room became an execution ground. She was pressed on the seat by the maids and servants intact, crying hoarsely, crying so pitifully that even a large area of ​​her clothes were soaked.

In the room, Wang Yuanwai sat on the chair peacefully, looking at the woman crouching under her feet, indifferent.

This woman is Wang Zhilian's mother, she is a mute, there are strong servants on both sides of her, and each of them beats her with a long whip in his hand, so the scars on her body are terrible.

But the deaf-mute woman couldn't make any sound, and could only look at her own daughter and husband while she was dying.

This is Wang Yuanwai's usual tactic, forcing Wang Zhilian to follow Fan Baishi's tactic, which doesn't work. As long as Wang Zhilian doesn't do things according to his wishes, she will bring her mother to beat her.

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo"

Listening to her mother's humming, Wang Zhilian's heart throbbed. She couldn't let go and agree to sign those things to frame Brother Qing!
Wang Yuanwai took a sip of tea calmly, and said, "Keep beating! Put in some effort, and haven't eaten? You idiot! As long as you can't die!"

There was never a time when Wang Zhilian couldn't take it anymore when she was beaten and persecuted so hard.

Crying: "Ah!——I sign! I sign! I just sign. Don't beat my mother."

After saying this, Wang Yuanwai immediately signaled his servants to take the testimonial that had been drafted long ago into Wang Zhilian's hand, and then watched her trembling hand on it, and wrote Wang Zhilian's three words in his own handwriting. words.

Only then did he return with satisfaction, cursing and saying: "Bitch, I wish I hadn't been obedient earlier, and it's also to give you a good reputation as a chastity, and the capital will like it more after hearing it, and the dowry is enough for our Wang family You don’t have to worry about food and clothing, otherwise, who will support your money-losing goods?”

His servant smiled and agreed, and said: "Yes, yes! The master understands righteousness! The second young lady is really confused, so why do you ask that concubine to serve you tonight?"

He patted Xiaren on the head and cursed: "I haven't sent Xinna's concubine Wan'er here yet."

And in the room, Wang Zhilian hugged her mother, in great pain. She betrayed Brother Qing, that Brother Qing who was extremely gentle to her, that Brother Qing who fell in love with her at the first sight, would he completely give up on her?

Thinking that brother Qing was so looking forward to being cleared of his crimes in prison but tomorrow's result might disappoint him, Wang Zhilian felt ashamed.

It was like this in the past. After Wang Yuanwai's first wife passed away, he met Wang Zhilian's mother. Her mother was extremely beautiful. She was an orphan with a lot of money, but she was born dumb and never married. go out.

Wang Yuanwai decided to marry this dumb girl as his wife, and inherited her property by the way, so his mother married into the Wang family and gave birth to a daughter Wang Zhilian for him. Fortunately, Wang Zhilian was a healthy and beautiful child. His relatives caught him with a glance and said that they would stay and marry back home.

Wang Yuanwai, who was greedy for money, was overjoyed, so he made up his mind to marry Wang Zhilian to the capital. Over the years, he has cultivated into a well-known lady from a famous family with both talent and beauty. Seeing that the daughter grows up, she can marry to the capital immediately. , I can also get countless betrothal gifts, who knows that at this time, Wang Zhilian, who does not want her life to be restrained all the time, will make a shocking move.

She ran away from home and even disguised herself as a man to study in an academy.

After searching hard for four years, he was finally seen in front of Rong's house. How could he not find this daughter who would bring him more wealth for the rest of his life, otherwise all the hard work and effort spent over the years would be forfeited. Is the water floating?

Therefore, in the court tomorrow, we must first find a way to save Wang Zhilian's reputation, create an image of a loyal woman, and spread it in Jiangcheng. When explaining to relatives in Beijing, she will have the capital to raise her social status.

As for whether Rong Qing was wronged or not, he was no longer in his consideration.

The scene turned again, in the courtroom. The situation now turned to Wang Yuanwai's side. After all, he held in his hand the victim Wang Zhilian, who personally wrote and identified Rong Qing's crimes.

Wang Yuanwai was afraid that Wang Zhilian would turn her elbows out in the courtroom and lean towards the Rong family, so he came up with such a trick, simply not letting her attend, to see what that dead girl can do.

But how could Rong Shui see his second brother being wronged like this?
She stood up and said, "Master Huang! The daughter of the people wants to complain for my brother! Wang Yuanwai! First of all, even if the letter in your hand was written by Wang Zhilian himself, you should not listen to the words of one person when you are convicted and dealt with such a thing. Right? Wang Zhilian is going to wrong our Rong family with empty words? Hmph. With all due respect, can you find any credible witnesses besides Wang Yuan?"

Rong Shui despised Wang Yuanwai, and he was merciless in his heart, determined to turn the situation around.

Wang Yuanwai didn't expect that the girl Rong Shui was really hard to deal with, he said: "Good for you, Rong Shui! My daughter was bullied by your Rong family so much, she would rather die than surrender, and she was found in your house that day, you still want to marry me?" What are you denying?! This is what so many people have seen with their own eyes.”

Rong Shui continued to refute, saying: "Seeing is not the whole truth, and hearing can be deceiving! Master Huang just saw Wang Zhilian in the Rong family, so can you conclude that my Rong family imprisoned her for four years? A joke! God! It's a big joke, the whole matter of Wang Yuanwai is all controlled by you, you can't find any definite evidence, but my Rong family still has key evidence in my hand, and there are a lot of them!!!"

Rong Shui's tone became louder, and he looked at Wang Yuanwai who was staring at her viciously without fear. At this time, the whole person was in a state of getting more and more frustrated.

She doesn't care about Wang Zhilian anymore. No matter what the reason is, this woman is so ruthless, she must shake off all the things she has done.

In fact, Wang Yuanwai was a little worried when he saw Rongshui's unafraid expression. He didn't know what key evidence she still had.

If Rong Qing was alert at this time, he looked straight at Rong Shui, his own sister. In order to save him, he was about to reveal the secret of Wang Zhilian's four-year track.

There are complex emotions in his eyes, whether it is not forbearance, hesitation, persuasion, or restraining what Rongshui is about to say.

Rong Shui saw and understood the emotion in the eyes of the second brother, she knew the love words of the second brother for Wang Zhilian, but... But now it is not just his business, Wang Yuanwai sued the entire Rong family for imprisonment Wang Zhilian!

If you really can't bear it, then everyone in the Rong family will be implicated!

So Rong Shui made up his mind not to look at Rong Qing anymore. That woman framed her second brother so viciously, she really couldn't turn a blind eye.

Even if it is really a wish to fight and a wish to suffer.
She said to Huang Zhi: "Master Huang! Wang Zhilian's disappearance four years ago was not captured and imprisoned by my Rong family, but she did it alone. She disguised herself as a man and went to the academy to study. She stayed for four years. During that period, it was only because I became classmates with my second brother, so I stayed at Rong's house for a few days, and this time it was the same. Moreover, the teacher and all the classmates of the academy where she was at the beginning can attest! Rongshui has sent someone to invite her The gentleman who came to Jiaoqing Academy, as long as he sees Wang Zhilian, he can testify whether she is a student who has studied in the academy!"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone in the hall was shocked, and Wang Yuanwai was also stunned. Wang Zhilian never explained to him what Rong Shui said, so he didn't know whether it was Rong Shui's own fabrication or real existence. .

And the only thing he can be sure of is that his daughter disappeared at the beginning. In fact, it has nothing to do with anyone, and she left home by herself.

After hearing Rong Shui's explanation, Huang Zhi was also taken aback. There are such things in the world, a woman disguised as a man and went to the academy to study?
If he thinks about it, Rong Shui's personality after getting along for so long can be regarded as knowing that this girl's temperament is not bad, and the people of the Rong family have always been kind to others, and would not do such criminal things, and there is no reason to imprison Wang Zhilian of.

On the contrary, what the Wang Yuanwai, who loves money like his life, said is questionable.

Wang Yuanwai knew that he was at a disadvantage at this moment, so he said eagerly: "You Rongshui, what kind of tricks do you have! My Lian'er was frightened and bedridden, and I can't testify in court to personally identify you! It's also not convenient to see anyone!"

Rong Shui was not fooled, and said: "Wang Yuanwai is so nervous, is it because he is afraid?! Miss Wang doesn't even have the courage to face her former teacher?"

Huang Zhi adhered to the principle of fairness and said: "Since this is the case, this case should be handled at an optional date. Rong Qing will be released temporarily for uncertain charges. Wang Yuanwai, your daughter saw nothing serious that day. Don't use recuperation as an excuse. After three days, you will be released." The official ordered you to bring Wang Zhilian to the court to confront him face to face!"

"Retire!"

The yamen servants on both sides stepped forward and pulled the angry Wang Yuanwai out of the courtroom.

Rong Shui looked at the second brother standing in front of her intact, and almost burst into tears. The worries and panics of the past few days are never going to be experienced again. It turns out that the integrity of the relatives is the most important thing.

Now Rong Shui is very regretful. Two years ago, when the second elder brother brought Wang Zhilian back for the first time, why didn't he investigate carefully? Because of Rong Qing's instructions, the price of almost putting the whole family in prison now
She secretly swore in her heart that these unknown people would never let anyone in the Rong family harm anyone in the future. As for the next court session, she was already fully confident that she would reverse the case for Rong Qing.

Wang Yuanwai. His plan to accuse the Rong family of crimes will definitely fail.
