Two choices
This chaos finally caused Lao Jiangtou to faint and press the pause button.
They gave him sugar water, pinched him, and lifted him to Lao Yangtou's bed to lie down on his back. After a while of tossing, Lao Jiangtou finally slowly opened his eyes.
Seeing Jiang Xianjun kneeling in front of the bed, his nose and face swollen after being beaten by Jiang Da, Lao Jiangtou raised his fisted hand and hit Jiang Xianjun hard on the shoulder twice. Finally, the old man burst into tears.
"God, why, why are you doing this?"
"...Second brother, my poor son, you have never had a day of happiness..."
Jiang Xianjun buried his head deeper and burst into tears.
On the side, Jiang Da wanted to pounce on Jiang Xianjun again, but was stopped by Yang Huazhong.
"We can't fight anymore. If we fight again, someone will die."
Jiang Da angrily said: "This kid deserves to be beaten to death. It is in vain that his father loves him so much. He helps his murderer's mother. Is he worthy of his father?"
Yang Huazhong glanced at Jiang Xianjun in disappointment and said, "If you beat him to death, you also have to go to jail. Is it worth it?"
Jiang Da temporarily retracted his fist unwillingly.
On the bed, Lao Jiangtou was lying there, with two lines of tears sliding down his cheeks.
"What was the situation... at that time? You... you tell me honestly!"
Every word the old man said felt like he was stabbing his heart with a knife.
Jiang Xianjun lay with his head on the ground, still choking.
Jiang Da kicked him hard and shouted: "I'll tell you now, or I'll beat you to death!"
Jiang Xianjun raised his head, wiped away his tears, and sadly explained the truth to Lao Jiangtou and others in the room:
"...I was originally going to Zhengjia Village to help my father-in-law's house this afternoon. When I was walking, I suddenly remembered that I had left something at home, so I came back to get it."
"As soon as I entered the door, I saw my father lying on the bed with his head tilted to one side. He was already out of breath. My mother was sitting on the ground beside the bed, looking scared to death."
"I wanted to see a doctor at that time, but my mother refused to let me go until she died."
"Mom said she didn't do it on purpose. She lost the fight with Fourth Aunt Yang today, and she felt unhappy. When she got home, she wanted my dad to talk to her, but my dad turned his back on her and ignored her."
"When my mother got angry, she went to crack dad's head off, hoping that he would turn his face to look at her. Unexpectedly, she lost all her strength and broke dad's neck..."
Jiang Xianjun couldn't speak any more and buried his head on the ground again, hitting the ground hard.
"It's all my fault, it's all my fault. If only I had come back earlier, this wouldn't have happened! I deserve to die, I deserve to die..."
Old Jiangtou closed his eyes in pain, and his body twitched.
Others beside the bed were also shocked, and the room fell into a deathly silence.
Yang Ruoqing lowered her eyes.
This truth...is really hard to accept.
On one side is his father who died in vain, and on the other side is his mother who is forcing her to die. For Jiang Xianjun, a person who has no idea at all, his behavior of concealing the truth is not surprising.
His father is gone, and he can't lose his mother again. He is a mama's boy, and he doesn't know how to live without his parents' support.
It's really sad.
As for Xianjun Niang, she is hateful.
The most pitiful person among them is undoubtedly the deceased Jiang Er.
"Now that the truth is out, let's report it to the official. The matter that has reached this stage is no longer an internal matter of your Jiang family, but a matter of our entire Changping Village. Since ancient times, murder must be punished with life, and no one can be an exception."
Yang Ruoqing came to the bedside, looked at Jiang Xianjun who was kneeling on the ground, and said coldly.
"As for you, I'll give you two choices."
"First, he served his crime and turned into a tainted witness to testify against your mother."
"Two, if you are unwilling to testify against your mother, then we will take you to court as an accomplice."
"You choose one!"
"What choice should I make? Both mother and son are evil. If they pay for it with their lives, they have to pay for my brother's life!"
Jiang Da was roaring there, and it seemed that if Yang Huazhong hadn't stopped him, he would have pounced on Jiang Xianjun and executed him on the spot.
Old Jiang Tou's originally closed eyes suddenly opened a crack.
Seeing this, Yang Ruoqing quickly added: "This is the law of Daqi. It is impossible to keep it secret. It is useless for anyone to plead for mercy!"
Old Jiangtou was stunned and closed his eyes again in despair.
And Jiang Xianjun had already completely collapsed to the ground like mud...
…
Since it was already planned to report to the official, the time for Jiang Er's body to be laid to rest would have to be postponed.
This matter was left to Jiang Er and Yang Huazhong.
As for how to explain it to relatives and friends?
It's very simple. Just explain it how you said it. Do you want the person who killed the person to help her hide it and maintain her character?
As a woman, as an adult, if you cannot control your emotions and accidentally do something harmful to your husband who is paralyzed in bed when you are angry, then next time, if you have a dispute with others in the village, you will accidentally kill him.
Someone else?
Killing is killing, there is no intention or mistake.
Unless the other party wants to kill you first and you fail out of self-defense, you may consider giving a lighter sentence.
But did Jiang Er want to hurt Xian Junniang?
He couldn't even turn over, he just turned his face to the bed and didn't want to look at Xian Junniang.
If Xian Junniang is not brought to justice, we will be sorry for Jiang Er, and we will also be sorry for the final justice and bottom line of human nature!
So Yang Ruoqing is determined to be an 'emotionless' arbiter this time. No matter whether Lao Jiangtou wants to beg for mercy or not, she will not show mercy!
Yang Ruoqing directly took Jiang Xianjun to the Luo family's woodshed for detention, and sent two guards to capture Xianjun's mother and imprison her in another woodshed.
They were detained separately to prevent Xian Jun's mother and Jiang Xianjun from crying pitifully, and to allow Jiang Xianjun's soft-hearted help to serve as evidence, so that mother and son would falsify their confessions.
At the same time, Xian Junniang will send a special person to keep an eye on her to prevent her from seeking death or survival.
wanna die?
That is liberation, and it is beautiful to think about.
She must be allowed to live and accept the punishment alive.
On the other side, Yang Ruoqing sent Ye Yi to take her letter to the county government office to report to the official.
As for Jiang Er's body, it was first suppressed with ice and kept until Wu Zuo entered the village.
Because it was already night when I was doing all this.
Most people in the village went back to their homes to sleep, so only relatives and friends of the Jiang family and Lao Yang's family knew about the incident that night.
But Yang Ruoqing believes that by tomorrow morning, what is currently known to this small area will spread to the entire village like a hurricane, and then all the surrounding villages will know.
In the past two days, Luo Fengtang went to Luo Baobao's camp in the mountains. He agreed to come back at sunset, but he didn't get home until he was about to go to bed at night.
"...I temporarily acted as an instructor for my daughter and led the group of soldiers to practice boxing skills, so I was delayed."
The first thing he did after entering the door was to explain to her.
Yang Ruoqing smiled gently, gave him water to wash his face, and poured him tea.
"Something happened in the village, and I was too busy to enter the house."
"What happened?" he asked.
