As expected, the Yachai came because of the death of Su Changsheng, but it was not because it was difficult to determine who the murderer was. It was because the people in the prison wanted to see Su Liu. Considering the relationship between Su Liu and the deceased, the Yachai left.
This trip.
After getting the news, Cao Kui hurried back and accompanied Su Liu to the Yamen to get something. Of course, the people in the county Yamen would not want to make Su Liu look bad without looking at him. What is his identity?
!
It was Zhou who wanted to see Su Liu. He walked into the dark and deep prison. The prisoners were locked in the prison, lying or sitting. When they saw someone coming, they stretched out their hands to grab them from the gap. Deep in the prison, there was something faint.
The screams came, adding a bit of terror.
Arriving at the cell where Zhou was imprisoned, Su Liu handed the yamen officer who was leading the way a small piece of silver. He was so happy that he narrowed his eyes with a smile. He only had to bring a stool for Su Liu to sit on and talk.
"Miss, if you need anything, just call me, I'll be waiting outside." The Yamen said to Su Liu respectfully, and then left.
Su Liu then looked at the person sitting on the hay and coughed.
The man raised his head, fixed his eyes, and when he saw it was Su Liu, he rolled over and stretched out his hand: "Liu'er, Liu'er, you're here, hurry up, rescue your brother quickly, Liu'er
."
Su Liu took a step back, avoided her hand, and looked at her condescendingly. He saw that she was wearing a loose prison uniform, her hair was messy, her temples were slightly white, and her face seemed to be more than ten years older, as old as an old woman.
"That's why you want to see me?" Su Liu said calmly: "Killing for life, Su Jinquan is not innocent."
"No, he didn't kill him, it was me. I beat that beast to death. He deserved his death. If he hadn't sold Chuntao to the Tang family, how could I kill him? You know the Tang family, there is a
It's a hell that eats people, how can that beast do it? How can you throw your own daughter into hell?" Ms. Zhou prostrated on the ground, crying as she spoke.
Su Liu suddenly wanted to laugh, not because she was gloating about her misfortune, but because she really laughed and said: "You also know that it is a hell that eats people. Didn't you just want to send me to such a hell at the beginning? I heard that
That family also has a lot of wealth, and Su Chuntao had plenty of food and clothing when she got married. Maybe she is a lucky person and will enjoy wealth and glory for the rest of her life, which is better than digging the land with a farmer!"
Zhou's crying stopped, and when she looked up, she saw a sarcastic smile on her lips. Aren't the words that came out of her mouth exactly what they said to her and Chen?
Zhou felt bitter in her heart. She had been thinking for the past two days, could this be retribution? She and Su Changsheng planned to sell Su Liu to the Tang family, but now it was Su Chuntao who was sold by Su Changsheng!
Yes, this must be retribution, otherwise why would it be the Tang family and Chuntao!
In the past, Ms. Zhou might have said a few sarcastic words, but now, one of her daughters has been sold, and she doesn’t know what to do. Her son is in the prison opposite, and she is in prison herself. What she can count on is that besides Su Liu,
Who is there? Is it your mother’s family?
Therefore, no matter how harsh and harsh Su Liu's words were, Zhou didn't have any temper at all. Instead, he said: "Yes, this is all retribution! I was deceived by ghosts in the past, so I set up you, and that's why I suffered this retribution."
Ah! But Liu'er, if you want retribution, give it to me. Chuntao and the others are all innocent. Even half-mother, they are also your biological brothers and sisters! They are so young. Liu'er, you are so kind and merciful.
, save them for a while!”
As if she was afraid that Su Liu would not agree, Mrs. Zhou then said: "I kowtow to you to admit my mistake!" After saying that, he knelt down and took two steps back, and nodded to Su Liu while saying: "It was my fault in the past.
I am evil-minded, I have a vicious heart. You sir have a lot of them, so don’t argue with me, a village woman who has no knowledge. Please save them, I beg you."
Her words were sincere. Seeing this, Su Liu couldn't help but sigh, and felt that it was meaningless.
Do you want to ask her if she has any feeling of gratification? To be honest, she really doesn’t. It’s not that she is a kind mother, but that up to this day, she no longer has the original spirit of revenge and retaliation. It should be said that
, she doesn’t take these people seriously at all.
If she really hates her to the extreme, she has plenty of ways to make them suffer a thousand times, but is it interesting?
As soon as Su Changsheng died, she suddenly felt that all her resentment had disappeared, and what was left was just indifference!
To be honest, Zhou's behavior is stronger than that of Su Changsheng. After all, she is a person who truly loves her children and is even willing to take the blame for Su Jinquan. Is this what being a mother means?
"enough."
Zhou raised her head, looked at Su Liu eagerly, and said: "Liu'er, are you willing to save Jin Quan? He is really innocent. It was all my doing. I killed Su Changsheng.
It has nothing to do with Jinquan.”
Su Liu lowered his eyelids and said indifferently: "You and I both know who was responsible for Su Changsheng's death."
Zhou's face turned slightly pale, and she said with a somewhat flustered expression: "I killed him. As long as someone admits it, isn't that okay? If he wants to pay with his life, I can pay him. But, Jin Quan is only fifteen years old, and he is still so
Small."
"If I had known this, why did I do it in the first place?" Su Liu's eyes were slightly cold and he said, "If you hadn't made him ignorant of the world, how could he dare to kill his father?"
Mrs. Zhou's body softened, she pursed her chapped lips, looked at her and said: "What about you, don't you want that beast to die? Aren't you happy that he is dead? You should be the happiest, this time he is dead.
, you should be happy, right?"
Su Liu sneered and said: "Do you know what is the most painful thing for a person? It's not death, but when you die, you close your eyes and don't know anything. It's over. Life is worse than death. The most painful thing is that I haven't said anything about you yet.
If you meddle in other people’s business, you’ll get people killed!”
Zhou felt a chill in her heart when she heard that. She looked at Su Liu as if she were a monster, but she had to admit that what she said was right. Death is the most painful thing, just like they are now, not
What?
"No matter what, I beg you, please save your brother." Mrs. Zhou cried and said, "If you want someone to take your life, I will do it!"
"Are you really willing to die in Su Jinquan's place?" Su Liu narrowed his eyes and said, "Even if you are sentenced to death, are you willing to be quartered?"
Zhou shuddered, turned pale, and stammered: "Executive punishment?"
"Since ancient times, people have been killed to pay for their lives. Not to mention that Su Jinquan committed patricide, which is a treason. There is nothing surprising about the death penalty." Su Liu looked at her coldly.
Zhou slumped down on the ground, unable to say a word.
Just when Su Liu wanted to say something sarcastic, she said: "I do."
Zhou raised her head, her eyes filled with determination, and said, "As long as I can save Jin Quan, I am willing to be punished with the death penalty."
Su Liu was a little surprised, but also a little angry, and said: "Is he so worth it? Zhou Guizhi, you have more than one son, you also have a silver egg and a Yaya. For Su Jinquan, you sacrificed the other children.
Where? They already have no father and no mother, how do you want them to survive?"
Motherly love, is this motherly love, but why doesn't she think about other children, how can such children live without their parents?
Mrs. Zhou lowered her head and said suddenly: "Liu'er, those are also your siblings. Now that you are rich and powerful, it is easy to take care of two children. You should be kind and take them in."
Su Liu smiled instead of being angry and said: "Zhou Guizhi, do you overestimate yourself? Why do you think I will agree to you? Do I owe you anything?"
"Liu'er, I know you are a good person."
"Don't use that word to flaunt me. I can't afford to wear this high hat, and I'm not a good person." Su Liu interrupted her and said: "Their mothers don't want them anymore. Whether they live or die has nothing to do with me.
Dry."
"You..." Mrs. Zhou was very angry, but she still endured it and gritted her teeth and said: "Are you so cruel? Do you really want to die without saving me?"
"Since he dares to do it, he should bear the price." Su Liu said lightly and turned to leave.
"Can't you treat it as a blessing for the child in your mother's belly?" Mrs. Zhou suddenly shouted.
Su Liu paused, remembering what Chen said before she came.
"Liu'er, the dead cannot be resurrected, and Jin Quan and the others have been forced to do so. If you can, please help someone who can. You should be able to accumulate some virtue for your future brothers and sisters."
Su Liu understood very well that a scumbag like Su Changsheng actually deserved his death. It is a great irony that he died at the hands of his own son. In the past, he should have been so proud of Su Jinquan, his eldest son who could read.
, but he died in his hands, how could it not be ironic?
"As long as you can save Jinquan, I am willing to remain a vegetarian and chant Buddha's name for the rest of my life to pray for your mother and the others." Mrs. Zhou begged expectantly.
Su Liu closed his eyes and finally said: "I can only save his life. As for how the county magistrate will judge him, that's not my business. After all, he killed someone, and he will probably be exiled."
After that, she left without looking back.
Zhou was relieved to save her life, and she relaxed. As long as she had her life, she was fine. But then, when she thought about being exiled, her expression changed again.
Su Liu turned around the women's cell and came to the men's cell next door. Su Jinquan sat there with a dull expression, as if he had lost his soul. He couldn't help but said: "You have heard it, right? Poor parents in the world, you act so impulsively."
, harming others and yourself, Su Jinquan, you are such a waste."
Su Jinquan's eyelids moved, he looked at her blankly, and suddenly burst into tears.
Su Liu glanced at him with disgust, stopped talking, and strode away.
After leaving the prison, Cao Kui was waiting outside. When he saw her coming out, he quickly asked: "How is it?"
Su Liu sighed and said with a wry smile: "I'm afraid I will owe the magistrate a favor."
Su Jinquan did not kill Wang Yang, but his biological father. He was spared and sentenced to exile. This was the best ending. Su Liu really wanted to curse God for owing a favor to such a person!
