Chapter 024
It was this time, and she did not forget to pour dirty water on Zhou's body.
Ji Wan was extremely angry, "You lied, my mother was widowed for two years and almost never left the house. It was obvious that you were jealous of my mother's beauty and shared her original dowry and money, so she held a grudge and wanted to frame and bite her."
She knelt down at Xu Qi, "Sir, this dynasty law will humiliate and slander others for no reason. The lightest ones pull the tongue, and the heavy ones will be filled with troops. I hope the wise and uphold justice for my mother."
Li had never read a book, so how could he know this? He immediately turned dark before his eyes and almost fainted.
Xu Qi nodded and looked at the rest of the people in the hall again.
"Is what Li said true?"
"No, Zhou's husband was deeply widowed after losing his husband. And because of his mother-in-law's difficulties, she worked hard every day, and she never had any evil deeds."
A round-faced woman testified first.
"It's Li, however, who often treats his eldest sister-in-law as a maid, does not do anything for childbirth, makes trouble, and often instigates his daughter to bully, beat and scold others."
The two women next to him also nodded.
They are all the wives of the Wu family. The man is helping Zhou to build a house, so he naturally stands on the side of Zhou. Zhou is beautiful, and men may be fascinated by sex. But women are jealous. If they talk to her, it is probably true. Besides, the words of the people make money and the testimony is unanimous. The constable entered the village to get people, but no one took the initiative to testify for Liu and Li, which proved that their character was corrupt and unpopular.
Xu Qi has a scale in his heart.
"The shopkeeper of Dejitang also proved that the daughter of Zhou's head was damaged by external force. Li, do you have anything to say?"
There were so many people present at that time, and everyone could see clearly how Li pushed Ji Rong down.
Li was unaware of his verbal condemnation, and his lies were exposed. He faced a criminal law that could be pulled out. She no longer had the momentum and begged for mercy in panic: "Sir, please spare your life, it's... the civilian woman ignorant... the mishandled... push Ji Rong down... the sir... the sir, please spare your life..."
She is smart and knows that there is a fundamental difference between accidental injury and deliberate murder, so she avoids the most important things.
"After Rong Yatou was pushed down, Zhou wanted to take his daughter to seek medical treatment, but was stopped by the people brought by Liu and Li. If it weren't for Wan Yatou's return, Rong Yatou would have died long ago."
The wife of the Wu family, Xu, glanced coldly at Li, who had been tortured but was lucky enough to die and was still quibbling, and exposed her lies again without hesitation.
Li had no strength to be angry anymore, and lay on the ground, gasping for a while.
The matter was clear. Li instigated his daughter to commit crimes first, deliberately plotted murders later, and wanted to bite and falsely accused several serious crimes, with conclusive evidence. He was sentenced to death because of attempted murder. However, the death penalty could be avoided, and the crime was difficult to forgive. He was sentenced to 16 years incarcerated by his mother and murdered his elder sister. The crime was not forgiven. However, he was sentenced to one month in custody and released after his sentence.
Ji Yun didn't quite understand the meaning of going to jail, but Li understood it. After hearing the verdict, he fainted directly.
Xu Qi ordered the constable to drag the mother and daughter away, and blocked Ji Yun's mouth with a cloth strip to prevent her from crying.
Xu Qi looked at Liu again, but was shocked to see that the piece of land where Liu was kneeling was wet. He could not smell the smell far away. However, the villagers of Yi Village who were kneeling near could see it more clearly.
Xu looked disgusted, and the women around him turned their faces, which shows how dissatisfied Liu's popularity was.
"Liu abused his daughter-in-law, trespassed into a house, beat innocent people, and persecuted his descendants. His crimes were hard to forgive. He was not punished with a stick, and sentenced him to five years in detention, and compensated Zhou's mother and daughter for medical expenses, utensil damage costs, etc.!"
Liu widened his eyes, then his eyelids turned and he was dizzy.
Xu Qi, regardless of whether she was really dizzy or fake, continued: "Li and her daughter were guilty of injuring others, and her husband and son were disqualified from the examination."
When Ji Yuan received the news and rushed to the county government, the magistrate had already announced the verdict.
Only the sentence echoed in his mind, "Cancel the qualification for scientific examination..." As for his mother, wife and daughter's prison, he temporarily threw it out of the sky.
No, his future is over.
Ji Yuan was extremely angry and hated, hated Li's narrow-mindedness and shallowness and disobeyed his advice to provoke his sister-in-law and niece, hated his mother's domineering and meanness, which made him lose his qualification for the scientific examination. He even hated Zhou's mother and daughter who went to the county government to beat the drums and make him wronged despite their family affection.
He stood at the government office for a long time and then requested a visit to the prison. As his son, husband and daughter, he has the right to visit the prison.
Xu Qi replied. However, in a blink of an eye, he walked into the back hall and saw a boy in black robe sitting on the main hall, bent down to salute.
"Secretary of the Lord, please see Prince Lu."
Lu Feili held the teacup, took a sip, and said carelessly: "Mr. Xu is upright and fair, and it is a blessing for the people of Deng County."
"The prince praised it, this is the duty of the subordinates."
Xu Qi didn't dare to take Qiao in front of this young man.
Lu Feili smiled, put down the teacup, and said, "Ji Yuan has studied, but his wife and daughter are so despicable and vicious, which shows that he is not strict in managing the family and is suspected of being indulged."
Xu Qi felt that he understood what he meant, but he still did not dare to speculate rashly and hesitated: "The prince's meaning is..."
Be cautious and smart.
Lu Feili took his expression in his eyes, "Although this dynasty has a law, the male members of the family members of the perpetrators who are in charge of the crime are deprived of their qualifications for office. But what if the perpetrators have nothing to do with him?"
Xu Qi was confused at first, then realized it and opened his eyes wide.
"The prince said..."
Lu Feili had already stood up, "Mr. Xu is a smart person. You can just know some words, so you don't need to say them."
Xu Qi's face changed slightly, and he immediately gave a big gift.
"Thank you for your reminder."
Lu Feili looked at him again, doing things fairly, and knowing how to observe words and expressions, being transparent and smooth, and having a great prospect.
...
In order to thank the villagers for coming from all over the county government to testify for themselves, Zhou generously donated money and spent thirty cents to hire six carriages to take the villagers home.
"Mom." The mother and daughter were sitting alone in a carriage. Ji Wan said: "In order to ensure that they can participate in the imperial examination, the third uncle will definitely try every means to ask the third aunt to leave. Once he gets fame, he will inevitably take revenge."
Ji Yuan has read books, and his vision is definitely not as shallow and narrow as Liu and Li. Of course, this is just on the surface. He may not be completely unaware of the things Liu and Li do on weekdays, but he just turns a blind eye. Liu and Li can do it, and he will appropriately criticize him. For example, when he split up, he knew that he was in the wrong, so he was willing to give up money and avoid disasters. Because in his heart, nothing is more important than his future.
Similarly, this time he will destroy his relatives for the sake of his future!
After all, he is just an ungrateful and hypocritical hypocrite.
Zhou hugged his daughter and said lightly: "They just went to prison. Even if your third uncle is for his reputation, it is impossible for your third aunt to ask for a divorce at this time. At least, you have to wait until Ayun is released from prison."
She paused, and her tone suddenly became very light.
"No mother wants her children to live in the shadow of her stepmother."
Ji Wan looked up at her in shock.
"mother?"
Zhou did not explain, and his smile faded away the cowardice of the past and had a more perseverance.
"Don't worry, I won't let them succeed."
