"Then why do you frame me like this? Auntie, you are the child's mother. Think about it, I also have a mother. If I go to jail, my family will also worry about me. My husband, my brother, my
Mom, all my relatives, for me, how many days have they not closed their eyes and had a good rest? Human hearts are made of flesh, why would you do such a thing!" After being cleared of the crime, the peasant woman listened to the truth of the matter.
After saying this, Lu Ziyuan cried with joy, but she was also filled with anger.
"Mr. Lu, I buried the child early the next morning. I had no intention of doing these things, but then a girl came to me and offered me fifty taels of silver to push the matter aside.
Regarding Mr. Lu, he also said that the county magistrate would definitely be on my side."
"Do you know who that girl is?" Lu Ziyuan and Magistrate Du asked almost in unison.
"I don't know, I haven't seen that girl since I collected the money." The peasant woman shook her head, and suddenly shouted in sorrow, "Son, mother is here to accompany you!"
When no one expected it, she hit the big tree behind her with her head. The strong tree shook violently with the sound of the collision. You can imagine how determined the peasant woman was to die.
Seeing a pool of blood on the tree trunk, and then the peasant woman falling under the tree, Lu Ziyuan was stunned for a long time before she came to her senses and ran over quickly.
"Mr. Lu, what's going on?" Magistrate Du asked, "Can anyone be saved?"
There was such a big pool of blood on the ground, and the head was still popping out. Magistrate Du originally wanted to find all the girls in the county government and let the peasant woman identify it. If the peasant woman disappeared like this, there would be no way to identify it, but the peasant woman said
, is enough.
"It's hopeless." Lu Ziyuan took back her hand that was checking the peasant woman's pulse and shook her head, "He was killed on the spot."
Magistrate Du sighed, "Well, everyone has their own destiny. Doctor Lu, now it has been proven that you and the staff at the medical clinic are innocent. You can leave the county government at any time."
"Mr. Magistrate, because of the county magistrate, I thought at first that there were no honest officials in the officialdom. Officials must protect each other. For a little selfishness, I would abandon the lives of the people in the fire and water. Thank you for letting me believe that there is still reason in this world.
." Lu Ziyuan saluted gently towards Magistrate Du, "Thank you very much."
"My wife and I, thanks to the magistrate this time, we are lucky that the people have such a good parent and official like the magistrate." Lian Guanlang continued.
"Mr. Lu, actually, you should thank your husband and little brother Jiang Rong. Compared with them, I, as a prefect, just did what I should do. Little brother Guan Lang surprised me. Man, who doesn't think he is in heaven?"
It's amazing that he is dead. He is the first person I have ever seen who would be willing to squat in a cell just to accompany his wife. Well, a man." Magistrate Du agreed with a smile and then turned his attention to the county magistrate.
When several people were talking, the one who was most afraid was the county magistrate. Lu Ziyuan was not guilty, and the peasant woman had confessed him. Then the black gauze hat on his head would not be saved, and even his life would not be saved.
Can it be saved?
"Come on! Take the county magistrate back to the county government office. I want the case to be tried publicly!" Magistrate Du gave the order, and the attendants immediately took off the black gauze hat from the county magistrate's head.
Lu Ziwan and Lian Guanlang were still thinking about their mother and didn't want everyone to worry about them. Lu Ziwan left without staying to listen to the county magistrate's public trial.
