from widow to dame

Chapter 48

The reputation of Mrs. Pi and others in the village is really bad. When something happened to her family, the villagers are not only not worried, but most of them are gloating. .This night, the entire Wang family was lit up, and there were figures and shouts everywhere, and the one who shouted the most was Pi Shi. At this time, she was ten years old in an instant, her hair was disheveled, and she was haggard. , only a pair of eyes, red and red, shining with amazing hatred.

"Liulang, where are you? Liulang..." Mrs. Pi yelled hysterically one after another, and the person who yelled felt hairy.The villagers on the left and right behind her were searching, but they couldn't help whispering. Some said that Wang Liulang might have fallen into a ravine and died, some said that he had gone out of the village to have a good time, and some said that Wang Liulang Liu Lang usually bullies men and women, but now he has suffered retribution and is taken away by God.All in all, everyone searched around and around, even the entire Nanshan Mountain, but they didn't find any clues.If the person can't be found, what else can I do, and the villagers don't want to make that effort, so naturally the team broke up.

So, after another three days, there was still no news from Wang Liulang.This time, Mrs. Pi was willing to go all out, she went to the town herself, and beat the big drum at the gate of the county government office.Speaking of which, the current county magistrate is also her son-in-law, and Wang Wuniang is about to give birth at this time, which is the time when all parties receive the best treatment. The county magistrate is unwilling to go against her mind, and this matter must be taken over .However, there is also a difficulty here, Pi Shi firmly insisted that his son was harmed by others.But there is no body and no witnesses, Wang Liulang can only report missing at best.Who do you ask the magistrate to arrest?

However, it turns out.The county magistrate was indeed not an ordinary person. Since he couldn't catch the "murderer", he simply arrested all the people in the village who had a feud with Wang Liulang. As a result, the villagers in Wangjiaaoli were in bad luck. They were pushed into the county government office in a mighty way, and Su Huiniang and Wang Qilang were among them.

They were first put in prison, and men and women were separated.Aunt Osmanthus was escorted along with Su Huiniang. She used to gossip about Mrs. Pi and others, but this time they simply corrected her.All of them are simple village women who have never seen such a battle in their life. Now that they are locked up for no reason, how can they not be panicked and burst into tears.Su Huiniang can be said to be the calmest here. After these days, she has long since walked out of the fear of "killing someone".Su Huiniang really felt ashamed for hurting these innocent people because of herself this time.

"Huiniang, do you think we can still go out?" Sister-in-law Osmanthus said sadly, "Our girl is only so young, if I don't have my mother, how will I live in the future?"

"Sister-in-law, what are you talking about!" Su Huiniang stretched out her arms and hugged her shoulders, and said softly, "We are all innocent, I believe we will be released in a short time."

Aunt Osmanthus obviously did not have such "confidence" as Su Huiniang, she only bit her lower lip when she heard the words, and said with resentment: "It's all because of that old slut, Mrs. Pi, who has such a vicious mind. It was just a quarrel, but she said that we killed her son and caught us all here to suffer. Pooh, I have to say, it’s good to kill! Then why didn’t the murderer kill all his old Wang’s family!"

Mrs. Guahua's words aroused serious sympathy among everyone, and all the other sisters-in-law and daughter-in-laws said in one go: "That Wang Liulang is usually idle, idle, and always molesting the girls in the village. Such a person dies." It will be good."

"Isn't the Pi family relying on the fact that they have a daughter who is the concubine of the magistrate of the county? Damn. I don't believe that the magistrate of the county even dared to kill us all by arresting us." Su Huiniang also knows the person.It was that sister-in-law Kun, whose son was once bitten off by Wang Qilang, which left a deep impression on Su Huiniang, so she still remembers her appearance to this day.

However, no matter how much the crowd complained and cursed, they couldn't hide the panic in their hearts. After two days in the cell, they were finally arraigned on the morning of the third day.Su Huiniang followed the crowd, and when she searched her eyes, she saw Wang Qilang who was mixed in with the men. The two of them looked at each other and nodded slightly.

"Mighty——" the lacquer fire sticks hit the ground sporadically, and the servants standing on both sides cried out weakly a few times. They didn't seem to have any sense of might at all, as if they had just climbed down from a woman's belly. Soft leg shrimp.

Forty or so villagers crowded the small courtroom to the brim in an instant. Amidst the breathless breath of the crowd, they saw a man wearing a navy blue official robe, with a thin figure and black eyes. A thin old man whose blood was drained by alcohol came up, and behind him were two women, one was a pregnant woman with a tall belly, and the other was a haggard old woman with a withered face and a little bit of hatred in her eyes. Undoubtedly, it was Wang Wuniang and Mrs. Pi.

He went to the hall and sat down.

This "Master Qingtian" is about to start interrogation.

He yawned, knocked on the gavel feebly, and lazily said: "Now there is a village woman, Wang Pi, who is suing you for murdering her youngest son, um, who is the murderer? It’s not too late to recruit.”

After hearing this, the people below couldn't help but look at each other, and then the sound of coaxing exploded, saying that the adults are wronged.The one who said that Mr. Qingtian, you want to make decisions for the women. The county magistrate was already hungover, and the buzzing sound from below made his head ache. He slapped the table and hissed: " It's so loud, shut up for me!"

The people below fell silent for a moment.

"Master, you have to decide for the sixth brother!" Wang Wuniang said sadly, with a sad expression on her face.

The county magistrate took a look at her high abdomen, then turned his head and coughed twice, and said to the people below: "Don't make noise, wait for me to ask one by one, um, it's you, talk about it, talk to me." So what does Wang Liulang have to do with it?"

The person being questioned was a dark young man. Hearing the county magistrate's question, he couldn't help showing nervousness on his face, but he waved his hands again and again, and said stammeringly: "Master, the villain and Wang Liulang are only related to each other in the same village. I have met a few times occasionally, but there is really no deep friendship."

"I bah! You're lying." Before the young man finished speaking, Pi's next to him jumped out and said with red eyes, "He Erniu, don't be an old lady. You had a quarrel with Liulang last month and were caught Liu Lang caught him and beat him up, you must have held a grudge and secretly took revenge on Liu Lang and killed him, am I right?"

"You, you, you are talking nonsense!!" The angry man named He Erniu turned purple and said angrily: "It is obvious that your son did the robbery and took my twenty-cent son. My lord , You have to be clear, when Wang Liulang disappeared, the villain was at the father-in-law’s house in the neighboring village, this can be proved by many people, the villain was wronged!"

"Whether you have been wronged or not, I know in my heart." The county magistrate groaned twice, and then looked at Pi Shi who seemed to be insane, almost in a state of madness, his eyes flashed with contempt, and he secretly wondered what it was The wild woman in the mountains, unable to get on the stage, quickly got bored with the idea of ​​a quick fight.

He casually pointed to another person and asked, "Who is your surname? Does it have anything to do with that Wang Liulang?"

"My lord, this old man's name is Wang Shuanzi, and he has a feud with our Liulang." This time it was Pi Shi who answered first again.

"His girl, Wang Cui, is unruly. She likes our Liulang secretly. If our Liulang disagrees, she seeks life and death. He must be holding a grudge and looking for an opportunity to harm Liu'er." Mrs. Pi cried loudly: " You stinky old man, didn’t your girl want to jump into the well, why didn’t she die, she should have drowned in the well, and be a water ghost for the rest of her life, never to be reborn.”

"You vicious bitch!" Wang Shuanzi seemed to be about to faint from anger, pointing at Mrs. Pi and yelling, "That son is tyrannical in the village and molested in broad daylight." Ladies from a good family, I have pity on my daughter, who was already said to be a good relative, but because of him being messed up, she searched for life and death several times, and finally twisted her own hair and became a sister-in-law at home. You made her like this, Isn’t that enough? Isn’t Wang Liulang dead? If you want me to say to the old man, it’s a good death, a deserved death, retribution, retribution!!!”

"What did you say, you really did it!" At this moment, Pi's whole body is like a mad cow with red eyes, his rationality is very low, and all he thinks in his mind is how to catch the murderer and give her The son takes revenge.

"Mother, calm down!" Wang Wuniang clenched her hands and was so excited that she was trembling all over. She was about to rush to tear Wang Shoufa's family Pi, and whispered, "Your son-in-law is in charge of everything." I don't know if the county magistrate heard this sentence. Flattery, anyway, in the next little time he ordered a few more villagers. However, everyone talked about trivial matters between neighbors. If it was about hatred, everyone seemed to be suspected of committing a crime. Individuals seem to have nothing to do with this matter.The magistrate of that county was originally a rich man, so he couldn't make a clear judgment at all.

Su Huiniang lowered her eyes, knelt quietly among the crowd, opened her palms and looked at the small plum blossom mole, thinking to herself, who would have thought that Wang Liulang, who was sought by everyone, right here?
