Chu Nanzhi stared at the pale Han family and asked with a calm expression: "Ms. Han, do you know these two people?"
Han's eyes were dull, and his whole body was twitching as he looked at Chu Nanzhi, pretending not to pay attention to the two servants.
The two people had grimaces on their faces and called out helplessly: "Mother."
After hearing this, Mr. Han immediately collapsed.
One of them reported truthfully: "My name is Zhang Kai, and I have been a nurse employed by the Shen Mansion for many years. After Madam Chu took Xiaofen out of the mansion yesterday, my mistress ordered me to monitor Xiaofen's every move. Last night I accidentally heard During the conversation between Yamen Li and Yamen Guan, they learned that Lady Chu was going to Nanhua Temple, so they informed the mistress of the matter. She sent me to set up an ambush on the way in order to murder Lady Chu and Xiaofen."
After hearing this, the other person looked at Chu Nanzhi pitifully and begged in a pitiful voice: "Ms. Chu, did you promise us that you would plead with the county magistrate to pardon the death penalty?"
Chu Nan Zhiwen looked at Hu Maoxi with a smile. Hu Maoxi immediately understood and nodded with a stiff face: "If you two can rein in the situation and plead guilty, I will consider it at my discretion."
After saying that, he asked people to escort the two of them back.
Seeing that she could no longer deny it, Mrs. Han sighed bitterly, shook her head and said, "Mrs. Chu is indeed well-deserved, and she is as meticulous as hair. She just wants the slave family to bow their heads and confess their guilt. She should also give the slave family a reason. The person who died was the husband whom the slave family respected as a guest. ,How could the slave family be so cruel as to murder their own husband?"
"Respect each other as guests, I can't see you."
Chu Nanzhi sneered at her: "At first, I also thought that this matter could not be related to Madam Han. Indeed, you are a dignified and virtuous lady in charge in the eyes of everyone, but such a well-supported and respected lady How could a sensible lady abandon the filial, benevolent and righteous concubine adopted into her name and prefer a domineering nephew?"
After thinking about it, she looked at Mr. Han steadily: "There is only one answer, because you don't like yourself like this at all. In your heart, you are the same type of person as Shen Erlang. You are tired of Shen Yang's mother and son's submissiveness, but It’s hard to explain clearly, so you can only act step by step, pretending to be kind to the mother and son in front of the head of your family, and at the same time, trying your best to find ways to murder them."
After hearing this, Hu Maoxi suddenly became enlightened and nodded thoughtfully, but felt something was wrong: "If this is the case, this woman should also poison Shen Yang's mother and son. How could she choose to poison her husband?"
"That's her genius."
Chu Nanzhi looked at the confused Hu Maoxi in the hall and reminded: "Do you still remember what the woman said the other day, that this murderer must be a person who is good at using poison?"
"Yes, I still take every word of what Mrs. Chu said that day to heart."
Saying this, Hu Maoxi couldn't help but show a look of shame on his face, and he quickly apologized in front of Mr. Nie:
"Mr. Nie has taken on a good disciple. Madam Chu did not hesitate to argue with me over this case. The words 'human life is greater than heaven' are like sharp edges, and they are still lingering in my mind. I was always vigilant about Xiaguan, but I didn’t inform Mr. Nie in advance.”
Nie Huai'an waved his hand freely, interrupted him and replied calmly: "When there are grievances, they must be redressed. You don't need to worry about this matter, Magistrate Hu. I am not a pedantic person."
Then, he looked at Chu Nanzhi with pleased eyes, and said with a smile: "Ms. Chu, please continue talking about the case."
Chu Nanzhi bowed her body gratefully, stared at Han, and continued:
"The Gelsemium flower hidden in Shen Yang's tea bag will not be easily noticed by others. Madam Han is also holding on to this luck. No matter whether it is Shen Yang's mother or son who drinks the poisonous tea, it will only benefit you. If it is Shen Yang who dies, Madam Yang, from now on, you can safely control this bastard. If this bastard dies, then you can take advantage of the opportunity to adopt your beloved Erlang of the Shen family, but who knows, it is the head of your family who dies."
After saying this, she looked at Shen Yang casually.
At this time, the woman's clear eyes no longer had the softness they had before, and her heart was filled with ashes, but she hid endless grievances and hatred:
"Sister, Shen Lang and you have been married for many years. Although he pities the slave family, he has not left you behind. He relies on you and obeys you in everything, for fear that you will be resentful. Only the matter of adopting Erlang has not been followed by you. , but you know the whole story best, how can you bear to harm him?"
Shen Yang's delicate tears finally couldn't be held back and flowed down from the corners of her eyes.
Her words also made Mr. Han feel a little moved, and his heart was deeply hurt. He slowly closed his eyes in annoyed silence.
Looking at these two good sisters who were once more in love with each other than Jin Jian, Chu Nanzhi also shook his head a little lonely:
"Indeed, Madam Han may have wavered in her heart for a moment. What if the head of the Shen family was poisoned to death? But once a woman's jealousy arises, there is no turning back. In order to achieve her own goals, in order to completely To control the Shen family, you finally chose this path of no return,
Because poisoning your husband will benefit you more. The result is obvious. Mr. Shen Yang will be imprisoned. Mr. Shen Xiaolang can only live in guilt. From now on, the Shen family will be firmly in your hands. If he If he obeys me, you can keep him. If he doesn't obey, you can adopt your second wife, Shen Erlang. I don't know if I am right or not?"
The last few words are sonorous and powerful, touching people's hearts.
Mrs. Han slowly raised her head with a trembling body, and slowly looked at Mr. Qian who was unconscious outside the hall and Mr. Shen Erlang who could not speak. She wanted to cry but had no tears.
After a long time, she gradually turned her eyes back to Shen Yunqing, who was standing quietly not far away. She hesitantly stretched out her hand to touch the child, but when the little guy saw the stretched out hands, he was so frightened that he knelt down. He buried his head in tears and did not dare to raise his eyes to look at her.
Han sobbed and sneered: "You respect me but you are also afraid of me. You are gentle, well-behaved, filial, benevolent and righteous. How can I really let Erlang bully you? I just hope that you can beg me and cry like other children." He went to complain to his mother for help, but you always swallowed your anger. You knew clearly that it was me who instigated Erlang to embarrass you, but you didn’t complain at all. You didn’t complain to your father or your little mother. My child, you are gentle and well-behaved. You have to make me afraid."
These staggering words made Shen Yunqing's little head feel so depressed that he fell to the ground and could only choke softly.
Shen Yang and Wei Ziqing were both heartbroken. They really didn't expect that this child would have to endure such grievances.
Everyone in the hall was in mourning. Who would have thought that a murder case was caused by a child of a few years old who was too docile and well-behaved.
Hu Maoxi slapped the desk again with a heavy slap, and shouted loudly: "Ms. Han, you have committed such a crime, why don't you get me soon? How did you know the strange and poisonous thing Gelsemium flower?
Do you believe that you, a village woman, have such insight?"
Today, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Taoist Master Tan Hua's behavior is closely related to this case. If it were not blocked by the three eldest princesses, he would have tried every means to get that Taoist to confess. At this time, he had no choice but to make insinuations and then pretend.
cross-examination.
Han looked around the hall with cold eyes, but could not see the figure of Taoist Tan Hua. Frustrated and about to tell the truth, the third eldest princess Lin Luochu stood up angrily and shouted cursingly: "Han, you
If you dare to bite randomly, I will kill you immediately."
It was so majestic and majestic that it made Han tremble with fear.
