black belly

Chapter 78

Chen Zhifu patted the gavel heavily, and said seriously: "Who is in the hall?"

Jiang Guqiu suppressed the unhappiness in his heart, and replied to Chen Zhifu: "Jiang Guqiu, the concubine, is the concubine of the head of the Huo family, Luo Xingwei!"

When Jiang Guqiu talked about this concubine, she gritted her teeth. She didn't want to mention Luo Xingwei at first, but the incident has reached such a level that it is impossible not to drag Luo Xingwei into the water. I hope this man can still see it for the sake of the husband and wife , quickly rescued her.

When Luo Xiang heard Jiang Guqiu's answer, she was taken aback for a moment, and quickly realized that she also said: "My lord, this slave is Aunt Jiang's maid."

Upon hearing their answer, Chen Zhifu looked at Dr. Xu who had scratches on his face and said, "You are the one who sued them?"

"Yes, it is the villain who sued Jiang Guqiu for murdering a woman." Dr. Xu said indignantly.

"Nonsense, my aunt has been in the Huo Mansion all the time, everyone in the Huo Mansion can confirm that my aunt has not left the mansion, you are talking nonsense!" Before Chen Zhifu could ask, Luo Xiang pointed at Dr. Xu angrily and said.

When Chen Zhifu heard Luo Xiang interrupted, he slapped the gavel in his hand angrily, and said in an unhappy tone: "I haven't spoken yet, why are you interrupting, you maidservant? Give me five hard slaps!"

The officer at the side heard "Yes" from Prefect Chen's order, and walked in front of Luo Xiang with a sneer. Under Luo Xiang's terrified eyes, he grabbed her clothes, raised his hands and bowed left and right, five times a day. The slap hit Luo Xiang's face mercilessly.

In an instant, Luo Xiang's cheeks were red and swollen from the beating, and blood spit out from her mouth. Jiang Guqiu, who was watching by the side, trembled with fear.

Chen Zhifu looked at Jiang Guqiu and Luoxiang who were kneeling on the ground in horror, snorted coldly, cast his eyes on Dr. Xu, and said, "You said that Jiang Guqiu murdered someone, do you have evidence?"

Dr. Xu nodded sharply, and said: "Jiang Guqiu told the villain himself. The villain was invited to Xiping Village outside the city to save a woman. The woman was caused by ordinary wind, but she took the medicine prescribed by the villain. After taking the medicine, the woman died. Later, the villain wanted to show the woman what was going on, but was knocked out by the woman's husband. When the villain woke up, he was already outside the city gate. Later, the villain knew that it was the The woman is Jiang Guqiu's sister-in-law, and she teamed up with her brother to frame the villain!"

As soon as Dr. Xu's words fell, the people watching outside exclaimed, they didn't expect that Jiang Guqiu and his elder brother murdered her sister-in-law, it's unbearable!
"My lord, can I say a word?" Jiang Guqiu learned his lesson this time, and first asked Chen Zhifu in the hall.

Chen Zhifu heard Jiang Guqiu's words, agreed: "Say!"

"My concubine has no grievances with Dr. Xu. Why did you frame him? Besides, how did Dr. Xu know that the person he put to death was my sister-in-law? It was said by my concubine. Is my concubine so stupid? Admitting that I killed him He's completely slandering my concubine!" Jiang Guqiu said firmly, hiding her guilt.

After Jiang Guqiu finished speaking, Chen Zhifu cast his eyes on Dr. Xu, who bent down and cupped his hands and replied: "My lord, Aunt Jiang is unable to protect her belly because of taking forbidden drugs. In order to keep it secret, she let the villain She was prescribed abortion pills, and after the miscarriage, it was the eldest miss of the Huo family who caused her miscarriage, and made the eldest miss of the Huo family and Master Luo turn against each other. She used the villain to kill her sister-in-law and asked the younger one to help her too. She framed Miss Huo!"

As soon as Dr. Xu finished speaking, the people outside began to discuss again. Many people thought of the farce of offering incense in Fayuan Temple yesterday, and it was Aunt Jiang in front of them.Some women who were watching outside started talking in low voices, saying that if they had a miscarriage, they should look bad, but this woman doesn't look like a miscarriage at all, how could she be deceived?

Luo Xing, who was quickly found by the arrest and brought to the hall, heard Jiang Guqiu's words, and immediately cursed on the spot, "Bitch!"

At this time, Luo Xing wanted to strangle Jiang Guqiu to death. If it wasn't for this woman, how could he have been kicked out of the Huo family, and the money on him was also taken away by the Huo family. Now he has become a bereaved dog!
Chen Zhifu in the hall frowned, originally he thought that he had dealt with this aunt of the Huo family to vent his anger, but he didn't expect that this aunt would be at odds with Huo Zhirou, now it's impossible to stop, so just do what you want!

When Jiang Guqiu heard Luo Xingwei's voice, he turned his head suddenly, his eyes shrank suddenly, why did Luo Xingwei hear Dr. Xu's words?

Chen Zhifu looked at Luo Xingwei who was furious, and pulled his face, this man!The gavel in his hand patted on the table, "Silence! If you dare to make noise in the lobby, give me ten big boards first!"

"No, no!" Luo Xingwei didn't expect that he would suffer disaster just by saying two words. He wanted to refute, but the officials at the side didn't give him a chance. Ten heavy boards hit Luo Xingwei's ass directly.

"Ah!" A miserable cry of pain came from Luo Xingwei's mouth, until the ten big boards came down, he was already unable to get up, and his whole face was extremely pale.

Chen Zhifu looked at Luo Xingwei's appearance, and the corners of his mouth slightly curled up. He felt extremely relieved, and turned his eyes to the frightened Dr. Xu again, and said in a faint voice: "You said you went to Xiping Village for medical treatment. woman?"

"Yes, yes..." Dr. Xu nodded sharply when he heard what Chen Zhifu said, and then said: "The villain also told Luo Butou about this."

Luo Butou stepped forward, bowed his hands to Chen Zhifu and said respectfully: "My lord, I went down to Xiping Village and learned that there was indeed a farmer named Jiang who had a woman who died not long ago, and this Jiang The farmer came to live in Xiping Village five years ago, and the subordinates brought this man surnamed Jiang here today and tortured him!"

Jiang Guqiu's face suddenly changed when he heard Luo Butou's words, the man surnamed Jiang he was talking about was her elder brother.Jiang Guqiu clenched her hands tightly into fists to control her uneasiness. Seeing a man being pushed up, her eyes flickered with horror.

When Jiang Feixing saw Jiang Guqiu, his eyes were annoyed. This girl, who had clearly said that she would not be discovered, why was she reported to the government so soon by this smelly doctor!It's really bad luck, if I knew it earlier, I shouldn't have done things for her!
"Who is in the hall?" Chen Zhifu's sharp eyes saw Jiang Feixing glaring at Jiang Guqiu angrily, and Jiang Guqiu turned his face away as if he didn't know him, so he had a guess in his heart.

Jiang Feixing knelt down, "Grassman Jiang...Jiang Feixing, see the prefect!"

"Jiang Feixing, did you murder your wife?" Chen Zhifu patted the gavel wood heavily with his hand and asked.

Hearing Chen Zhifu's question, Jiang Feixing showed a panicked expression on his face, shook his head, and said, "No...no, how could Caomin murder Zhuojing? That day Zhuojing fell ill, and Caomin went to the city to invite a doctor to see a doctor at home. , yes, it is this Dr. Xu!"

Jiang Feixing pointed angrily at Doctor Xu at the side, and said through gritted teeth: "Originally, Zhuojing was just a common cold, but this doctor Xu used the wrong medicine, and Zhuojing died. At that time, the grass people wanted to report him to the authorities, but Xu The doctor gave the grass-roots money to make the grass-roots small and trivial, and the grass-roots were unwilling, but Dr. Xu said that he knew the magistrate, and the adults would not punish him, and it would be the grass-roots who would suffer!"

When Dr. Xu heard Jiang Fei beat him back, his face became livid with anger, and he said to Chen Zhifu in the hall: "My lord, this guy is talking nonsense! The villain never gave him money, and never said such a thing." Come out, it is a lie fabricated by him!"

Chen Zhifu didn't expect the man in front of him to say such a thing, so he cast his eyes on Luo Butou, and said to him, "Did you find anything else in Xiping Village?"

Hearing Chen Zhifu's words, Luo Butou said respectfully: "My lord, my subordinates sent someone to dig up Mrs. Jiang Feixing's grave, and asked the foreman to examine the body, and finally found that Mrs. Jiang Zhang died of poisoning, and this poison is very poisonous. It was severe, and it didn't look like he died from taking the wrong medicine."

As soon as Luo Butou's words fell, panic flashed in Jiang Feixing's eyes. He didn't expect Luo Butou to take people to dig the grave, and found out that his mother-in-law died of poisoning. What should I do?
Chen Zhifu saw Jiang Feixing's panic-stricken appearance, snorted coldly, and said randomly: "It seems that you didn't tell the truth, and it seems that you can't do it if you don't go to the punishment. Come here, put on the stick!"

As soon as Chen Zhifu's words fell, two officials came over with a row of sticks, and then they put Jiang Feixing's fingers in the sticks and pulled them.

"Ah!" Jiang Feixing yelled out in pain, his face instantly turned pale, and Dou Da's sweat suddenly flowed down.

Everyone on the side saw Jiang Feixing's miserable appearance, their scalps became numb, while Jiang Guqiu and Luo Xiang's lips trembled in fear.

After a while, Chen Zhifu looked at Jiang Feixing, whose face was blue and white, and sweat was profuse on his forehead, and asked loudly: "Say it, don't say it, pinch it again!"

After the two officials listened to Chen Zhifu's order, they pulled hard again, and Jiang Feixing couldn't stand the punishment anymore. He said to Chen Zhifu: "The Caomin confession, the Caomin confession, Jiang Guqiu did not let the Caomin do it, but her servant girl. Luoxiang asked the grass people to do it! Let the grass people frame this doctor!"

As soon as Jiang Feixing's words fell, Jiang Guqiu breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, this brother still had brains and knew that she could not be implicated. But Luoxiang was not so lucky. Jiang Guqiu looked at Luoxiang with guilt, this girl, she was wronged she is gone.

Luo Xiang looked at Jiang Feixing in disbelief, he...he actually said that she ordered it, obviously it was his wife!
Luoxiang's face was pale, and she looked at Jiang Gufei, who was looking at her apologetically, with blood dripping from her heart, and she couldn't say anything about accusing Jiang Guqiu, after all, the person in front of her was her benefactor, thinking, Luoxiang made a decision in her heart, facing Chen Zhifu in the hall said: "Yes, everything is done by slaves!"

Huo Zhirou, who was lying on the soft couch, listened to the reply of the maid in front of her who was sent by her to inquire about Jiang Guqiu's situation, her face immediately sank, she didn't expect that Jiang Guqiu could escape this catastrophe, and was released in court. She was really lucky!
Chun Xiao angrily said to Huo Zhirou: "Miss, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the real murderer is Jiang Guqiu, this prefect Chen actually let her go, she really doesn't deserve to be a prefect!"

When the maid at the side heard Chun Xiao say such rebellious words, she was so frightened that cold sweat broke out on her forehead, and she said to Chun Xiao in a weak voice: "Sister Chun Xiao, in the lobby at that time, Mrs. Chen was bothered by Jiang Feixing and Luo Xiang. Severe punishments were used, but they all insisted that they did it and refused to confess Jiang Guqiu, so Master Chen had to let her go!"

When Chunxiao heard the maid's justification, she glared at her fiercely, making the maid shrink back in fright...
