The next day, the county government tried Tan's case again. Since it was Wu Yue's first prisoner to be tried in person, Zhu Zhiye and Wu Muning also came to the court to accompany him.
I thought that the case would be closed easily by going through the procedures, but unexpectedly something changed after the convict's wife took her to court.
"Ms. Tan, as the eldest sister-in-law, why did you do this to your brother-in-law?"
Wu Yue asked calmly.
Tan took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and asked the officer to hand it to the county magistrate.
Wu Yue took a look and saw eight big characters written on the top of the note, and murmured: "If it's unclean, don't cut it. If you don't cut it, it's unclean."
Wu Muning was startled when she heard this, and quickly came over to take a closer look.
She also heard that Mr. Tan cut off Mr. Wen Er's lifeblood and killed him.
But the eight simple words are powerful and bloody, and they all reveal that the second young master Na Wen was so lewd that he had to be cut off, and the woman had no choice but to protect herself.
She immediately realized that someone high-level should help this woman.
Leaning close to Wu Yue's ear, Wu Muning whispered: "Brother, according to the laws of our dynasty, adultery between an uncle and a sister-in-law is a capital crime. The second young master Wen is disrespectful to his eldest sister-in-law, and his desire to do evil is even more unacceptable. The Tan family has to protect the reputation of his full name.
, and in order to save his own life, it is understandable that he accidentally kills someone."
When Wu Yue heard this, he felt that it made sense, and immediately expressed his position: "Tan's loyalty and integrity are indeed a model of chaste women in this county, so she was immediately released without charge."
"Sir, this whore did not follow the rules of a woman. She failed to seduce my husband and brutally killed him. She was obviously spitting blood."
Mrs. Wen Er pointed angrily at Mrs. Tan and argued with reason.
"Second Lady, your words are unfounded. You said that Mr. Tan had an affair with someone, so you have to provide evidence. You can only rely on a few market rumors to tell the government how to convict you."
Wu Muning smiled coldly and said: "It is well documented that your husband is flirting with women everywhere. If not, if I ask everywhere for you, no one would dare to come to Jiangling City.
Please stand up and say something fair."
Mrs. Wen Er knew her husband's nature well, but the damn ghost died like this, and she had no heirs. If she didn't kill Tan, the Wen family's property would be passed on to their mother and son, so she started to pretend to cry.
He cried with tears streaming down his face:
"My lord, my late husband was indeed a bit frivolous in his life, but his crime was not worthy of death. Now he was killed by his eldest sister-in-law, leaving me alone as a widow. How should I live in the future? Please tell me, sir.
We cannot listen to slander and deliberately protect the Tan family."
After saying that, he followed He Shiyin's intention and vowed to muddy the water: "Now that my husband is dead, there is no evidence of his death. The right and wrong are all decided by the Tan family, but who can say the truth about the inner house?
Ming, maybe it was Tan who seduced my husband and killed him in order to monopolize the Wen family's family business."
"You are really eloquent."
Wu Muning angrily rebuked: "Let me ask you, on the day of the incident, did your husband die in Tan's boudoir?"
"yes."
Lady Wen Er is undeniable.
"Isn't that enough?"
Wu Muning snorted coldly: "Even if she is her eldest sister-in-law, even if Tan has evil intentions, if your husband is a decent man, how could he go to the boudoir of his eldest sister-in-law? If he doesn't also have evil intentions, how could he have his life cut off?
Is it possible that this majestic seven-foot-tall man cannot fight against a weak woman, unless he is defenseless?"
Mrs. Wen Er was speechless when she heard this.
Wu Muning continued: "Ms. Tan is a chaste woman who has been commended by the county. It is not easy to be an orphan and a widow. As the mother of the second house owner, you do not restrain your husband properly, but you allow him to bully your eldest sister-in-law and ruin her innocence."
, to take a step back, even if Tan made it up out of thin air and sprayed it with blood, it is because your husband has evil intentions in the first place, and you just said that there is no proof,
From this it can be seen that your husband deserves all the blame. He has brought all the blame on himself and cannot blame anyone else. Just as the eight-character lawsuit says, if you are not clean, you will not be cut, and if you are not cut, you will be unclean."
Everyone in the hall listened with sincerity.
Even Zhu Zhiye immediately admired Mr. Tan, who had been silent in the hall, and sighed repeatedly: "It is indeed the case. If Mr. Wen had been a man with a clear conscience, such a tragedy would not have happened. Since he chose to enter his family home alone,
If you are the sister-in-law's boudoir, you should have known the consequences long ago. Even spitting can drown someone. When a man and a woman live alone in the same room, or between an uncle and a sister-in-law, how should a gentleman behave?"
After finishing his words, he directly ordered Wu Yue: "Master Magistrate, please close the case."
Although Lady Wen was unwilling to do so, she could not find a suitable reason to refute, so she had to give up. She only felt sorry for giving He Shiyin the few thousand taels of silver.
I thought that the word "death to death" without any evidence would completely make Tan a target of public criticism, but unexpectedly it would become an opportunity for her to retract her confession.
This person named He is really nothing more than that.
What she couldn't understand was how a stupid woman like Tan could come up with such a clever lawsuit.
With a face full of doubts, she left the county government office in a depressed mood.
Wu Yue also sent someone to personally escort Tan back home.
When they returned to the backyard, the three of them sat down. Wu Yue was puzzled: "I heard from Lu Dianshi that when Tan was just escorted to jail, she personally admitted to the murder by mistake. I didn't think about it for a few days."
Gongfu actually found an opportunity for himself to come back to life."
"This is not a contradiction."
Wu Muning smiled and said: "This is indeed a murder by mistake. Her eight-character lawsuit today is just to explain that she killed someone by mistake just to protect herself."
"Isn't it possible that she could have thought of such a clever wording?"
Wu Yue frowned: "I heard that the member of the Tan family has been walking around recently, and I even went to ask Yan Huaqing. Could it be Mr. Yan who came up with the idea for this woman?"
"This seems to be Mr. Yan's handiwork."
Wu Mu Ning said this, but in her heart she had another choice.
She has also heard some interesting things in the county these days. What happened to Tan's family was exactly the same as the method used by the black-hearted shopkeeper Hua to escape from the Dou family. Who else could it be if it wasn't her?
He earns money silently, but hides his merit and fame. He does not cause trouble, but he is respectable and admirable.
Just let yourself be the first person for her, but she really deserves it.
"Your Highness, brother, I want to eat snail noodles. Shopkeeper Nahua should be at the inn today. Why don't we go back early and let her cook a few bowls of snail noodles by herself."
Wu Muning thought in her mind that she must be beaten to death, otherwise she would not be able to stand up to what she said today.
"Wu Suantou, can't you smell that smell?"
Zhu Zhiye was very curious about her sudden liking for snail noodles.
"Ahem, although the taste is a bit unpleasant, it doesn't stop me from enjoying it."
Wu Muning pulled Wu Yue and pushed Prince Ning to go out immediately: "I have to let go and eat today."
Otherwise, you won’t lose a lot of money.
When she first arrived, she was cheated out of her money by the evil shopkeeper, and today she acted as her mouth substitute. Thinking about it makes me feel aggrieved.
Wu Yue and Zhu Zhiye couldn't understand what this girl was thinking. Anyway, it was justifiable to go see Hua Rujin, but Zhu Zhiye was very happy.
