The Yamen servant did not take the paper in Zhou Wang's hand, but looked at her and warned: "It is against the law to falsely accuse others, especially court officials."
Zhou Wang said: "The woman did not make false accusations. Song Ziyu did indeed kill my husband, and my husband's body was indeed buried in a mass grave by the Song family.
If Lord Qingtian finds out that the civilian woman is making false accusations, he can chop off the civilian woman's head."
When the onlookers heard what she said, they began to waver.
"This woman is willing to risk her life. Is it possible that everything she says is true?"
"Yes! Is it possible that she really didn't make a false accusation?"
"But why did the eldest lady of the Song family want to kill Zhou Yu?"
"That's right! Although Zhou Yu colluded with the evil slave to frame her, he has already been punished!"
I can't figure it out. This is really confusing.
Yamen Yi said: "Everything must be based on evidence, and the Yamen cannot believe what you say."
Prince Zhou said: "My husband's body was buried in a mass grave by the general's men. If my husband's body can be found, it will prove that what I said is true."
The two yamen officials looked at each other, and yamen servant A said to Zhou Wang, "Please follow us in to meet the Lord first!"
Mr. Chen, the governor of the Yamen House, had already put on his official uniform and was sitting in the courtroom.
In the Dongchen Kingdom, in order to allow the people to supervise the yamen to judge cases fairly, when the yamen opened to hear cases, the people could enter the yamen and stand outside the hall to watch.
Mrs. Zhou Wang took her son and was brought to the hall by the Yamen servants. "Pa..." Chen Fuyin patted the gavel.
Mrs. Zhou Wang shivered in fright and knelt on the ground with a thud.
"Quick, kneel down."
Mrs. Zhou Wang pulled the two frightened children to their knees.
The people who had just been watching outside were also standing outside the court hall.
"Who is kneeling in the hall?"
Chen Fuyin looked at Zhou Wang and asked.
"Replying to the eldest master, I am a commoner woman named Zhou Wang, who is from Cangxian County."
Chen Fuyin: "Why beat the drum?"
Mrs. Zhou Wang raised the paper above her head and said, "This is the paper. It contains the grievances of the women of the common people. The lord will know it at a glance."
Chen Fu Yin winked at the Yamen servant, and the Yamen servant understood and handed over the paper in Zhou Wang's hand.
Chen Fuyin took the paper and read it carefully. The more he looked at it, the darker his face became.
Chen Fuyin read the petition, put it on the table, looked at Zhou Wang and said: "I have already read Zhou Wang's petition.
Without any evidence, I naturally cannot believe your words, so I went to the Song family to arrest someone.
I have a few questions to ask you here, and you must answer them truthfully."
"Zhou Yu was killed by Song Ziyu, how did you find out?"
Mrs. Zhou Wang organized her words in her mind, and after a moment she replied: "It was told to me by a kind-hearted person who knows the truth."
"Who is that person?"
Chen Fuyin said: "If he can serve as a witness and accept my questioning, I can go to the General's Mansion to pick him up now."
Mrs. Zhou Wang shook her head and said: "A civilian woman can't say that, if the Song family knew that he told me, they would definitely take revenge on him.
He risked my husband being killed by Song Ziyu so that I could avenge my husband and I could not harm him."
When the onlookers heard this, they looked at Zhou Wang and said, "I didn't expect this country lady to be quite loyal."
"Yeah! I didn't see it!"
Chen Fuyin pondered for a moment, looked at Zhou Wang in the hall and said: "Since you don't want that person to testify, I will ask you again why Song Ziyu killed your husband Zhou Yu."
Mrs. Zhou Wang gritted her teeth and said, "Because that shameless bitch was afraid that my husband would reveal her affair with my husband and ruin her reputation, so she wanted to kill her and silence her."
