Chapter 131: The Case of the Killing of the Husband by the Painters (4)
Zuiyin sniffed and said with tears in her eyes: "I was sold to Cuihonglou when I hit a child... Do you know what it means to be ashamed? The talented Hua Niang can sell her skills but not her body, or choose people."
"But life is worse than death like us. I have been living in a daze. When I was in pain, I thought, maybe my family was poor. My father and mother sold me and I could have money to buy rice and support the family. If I were at home, I would starve to death."
"In this dirty place, I can have enough food to eat. If I hadn't comforted myself like this, I would have died many times. It was not until my mother found me that I realized that it was not what I thought."
"I began to try my best to redeem myself, but the old madam in Cuihonglou refused to let go, but my heart was alive. I saw hope. When our family walked far away, my past would be completely gone."
"That day I went to find Ah Niang... The man named Li was a regular visitor of Cuihonglou, and he naturally knew me. When he heard what we said, he took a knife to kill us. Ah Niang went to get an axe. What I thought at the time was that even if I died, I couldn't let my Ah Niang die."
"I ran desperately, but the whole house was so big, and there were so many messy things. The oil lamp was not on at night, so I didn't know what I tripped. Seeing that I couldn't run away, the man Li Zhong put his knife aside, trying to do something wrong to me."
"I was in a panic and grabbed the knife next to me and slashed it on his body..." Zuiyin said, thinking for a while, "The first knife should have been slashed on my waist, because when I was slashing, I cut it smoothly and didn't cut the bones."
"The person named Li screamed when he was injured and wanted to strangle me to death. But he had bleeding a lot and his strength was getting smaller and smaller. Soon I pushed him away and ran out. I wanted to run, but he grabbed my legs and kept saying that those who slapped the flower boys would definitely not let me go and my mother."
"He is so disgusting. He keeps saying that I have been a flower girl, but I am a lowly person. Even if I escape to the ends of the world, I can't clean my background. He said that my brother and my grandmother, and my family will dislike me because of this."
"I was so excited at that time, I just slashed it with my knife. I am also the daughter of a good family. Who caused me to this point today? They are all from the surname Li! I... I don't know when he died, I just slashed it randomly."
"After the chopping, I had no choice but to think of any problems. I killed someone, I killed someone... Later, my grandmother came in. She was also very scared at first, but later, my grandmother said she would protect me and asked me to find my brother."
"I was confused at that time. After hearing her, I changed my clothes and went to Shangzhi Village to find my brother. I took out all the coffin of my brother's foster parents, and barely got enough money for my redeem. So my brother pretended to be a passing businessman and redeemed me."
"I hid in Shangzhi Village and heard that my grandmother was arrested by the slander, saying that she killed her husband with her wife and should be killed. I... that's my grandmother, how could I let her die for me? But, but I... I'm useless and I don't have the courage to vote for the official, saying that I killed the person."
"Later, for some reason, my mother was escorted to Beijing. My brother and I followed him quietly along the way... and asked about the news everywhere... and then we made up our minds. Three kings, my mother has been to me for my behalf. I killed me. You can arrest me and let my mother go."
"She has a loving mother's heart. She has nothing to find us. How can I let her die like this? She should live well, let my brother live happily, watch his brother get married and have children, and live for a long time!"
Min Weixiu was heartbroken when she heard this. This family was really miserable.
She turned her head to look at Jiang Yanzhi, but her heart was relieved. She secretly poked Jiang Yanzhi, "What are you doing? Are you not the judge? Why are you crying?"
Jiang Yanzhi came to his senses, wiped his tears, and said seriously: "It's sad and lamentable!"
Min Weixiu didn't understand why.
Jiang Yanzhi said loudly: "Qi, you are born in a scholarly family. Have you never studied Da Chen Lu? Why don't you report to the official after taking pictures of Huazi?"
Qi smiled sarcastically, "The child's biological father is unwilling to go and find him. How could the government work hard to find other people's children? At that time, the old and the new will change..."
Jiang Yanzhi shook his head, "Damn it! Even if you didn't report to the official to look for him, then later, you should report to the official, instead of marrying the official, you put yourself in danger... If both of you and your daughter were killed by the Li Zhongren at that time, what should you do?"
"Do you know how I, Da Chen Lu, punished the abductor?"
"All the people who are short of selling people will be sold, but they will not be harmonious. Even if they are under ten years old, they will also have the same method. Those who are slaves will be snatched; those who are clans will travel three thousand miles; those who are wives, concubines, children and grandchildren will be submissive for three years; those who are killed and injured will be the same method of robbers."
"What does this mean? Selling women and children as slaves and hang them; selling women and children as servants and exiling them for three thousand miles; selling women and children as wives and concubines for others, and sentenced to three years in prison; if there are casualties among the abducted persons, they will be dealt with as robbers."
"The robbers are most likely to be killed. As you, Li Zhongren, as you said, I don't know how many children have been abducted and it's not an exaggeration to die."
Qi was stunned when he heard this, Zuiyin burst into tears, "Three kings, what's the use of saying these things now?"
Jiang Yanzhi shook his head, "Li Zhongren is dead, but he is more than a kidnapper. How can the others let them get away with it?"
"You are not the only one who suffers. We must save more people by catching these kids."
Jiang Yanzhi thought for a while, "Originally, you impersonated Qi and confessed your guilt by randomly, and you have violated the Great Chen Lu and should be punished, but I think of you as a loving mother, and give you a chance to lose your merits."
"Now you will tell me all the clues you know about this group of flower shoots, one by one, every detail, and then we will capture all those people."
"As for Zuiyin, you have cruel methods of killing people, and you should be killed according to the law. However, the law is nothing more than human kindness. This king will write on the file that you will only hold a knife to chop people when you are dying and resisting. Moreover, the person named Li is one of the ones who sell you to the flower tree."
"But you cut eighteen swords in total, and the back is not intentional. Therefore, even if you are exempted from death, you will be unable to escape the crime of living."
Jiang Yanzhi said, then slapped the gavel again, shook his sleeves, and walked out with a swagger.
Min Weixiu looked at it and curled the corner of her mouth. This guy really acted according to the storybook!
