Without saying a word, the officials directly knocked Wang Taohua down with sticks and hit her with a wooden board.
"Stop, stop!" Wang Erhu's eyes were bloodshot. Unfortunately, all the officials hated him. How could he stop? If he hadn't been in charge of his duties, he would have wanted to beat him long ago.
Suddenly, Wang Taohua hugged her stomach and screamed, "Stop beating, my stomach hurts, my stomach hurts so much!"
Bai Banxia's eyes narrowed. She couldn't feel her pulse, but Wang Taohua looked like...
The coward Xiao Sheng, who had just been called to test the medicine, had not yet stepped back and noticed something was wrong. He hurriedly whispered to Zhou Hai: "Sir, something is not right. Is this woman pregnant?"
Zhou Hai was taken aback and said hurriedly: "Suspend the torture!"
According to the laws of the Juexia Kingdom, no matter how many crimes a female prisoner has committed, if she is pregnant, she must give birth before being executed. If the fetus is aborted due to torture, officials will also bear certain responsibilities.
"Xiao Wuzuo, go check it out." Zhou Hai ordered.
Although Wu mainly performed autopsies and examined injuries, he usually also learned some medical skills. Xiao Sheng took the order and went to check Wang Taohua's pulse. Wang Taohua kept holding her stomach and crying out in pain, and her face was a little pale.
When the Wang family saw this, they didn't know whether they were shocked or dumbfounded. They all stared at Xiao Sheng nervously.
"Why don't you fight? Sir, you can't be soft-hearted, this vicious woman almost killed us!" The people watching outside didn't know why, and they shouted one by one.
Xiao Sheng retracted his hand and said solemnly: "Sir, I think you are pregnant. It's best to find a doctor to confirm."
After he finished speaking, he looked at Bai Banxia, "Doctor Bai has a medical certificate, why don't you help me?"
Bai Banxia nodded, "I have no problem, but it's best to hire another doctor. As the plaintiff, the Wang family will not be convinced by my diagnosis."
Zhou Hai nodded and told Zhang Tonglin to ask for a doctor. Someone outside shouted, "I have a doctor with a medical certificate. I'll come."
The man who walked into the court was none other than Kong Sheng, who had just taken the exam with Bai Banxia not long ago.
He briefly introduced himself, then walked over to feel Wang Taohua's pulse. He quickly nodded to Zhou Hai, "Sir, this woman is indeed pregnant. She is pregnant for more than a month and less than two months."
"What?" Dad Taohua shouted, his face turned red, "Impossible, you must have made a mistake!"
"That's right, it's Ximai." Kong Sheng said with certainty.
Xiao Sheng also said: "I am indeed pregnant."
Bai Banxia was confused and went over to check her pulse. Although Wang Taohua didn't want her to touch her, Wang Taohua couldn't hide away and she grabbed her wrist.
It is indeed a happy pulse!
The people watching outside were immediately shocked. The woman who committed the crime looked like a girl. When she said she was pregnant, her family members were all shocked. This is so beautiful!
Many people stood on tiptoes to look inside. Today's bustle was not in vain. It was much more interesting than listening to books or watching operas.
"If the prisoner is pregnant, she must ensure that the fetus is not harmed, so the county magistrate will not allow the beating."
"Hey, this woman doesn't look like she's married, she's pregnant, and she even poisons people. She's really unruly and vicious."
"You see, her parents don't even know about it. This is really embarrassing."
"..."
People were talking a lot outside, and many people came to watch the fun. Now the Wang family had their faces in the town.
Bai Banxia walked back to Qi Zhen, feeling a little sad in her heart.
She recalled that Wang Taohua had gained weight during the previous free clinic. She did not want to show Wang Taohua at that time, otherwise she might find out that she was pregnant.
Wang Taohua joked that her predecessor was fat and spread rumors that her predecessor had an affair and got pregnant before marriage. In the end, all these things happened to her. It is really a cycle of retribution.
If the previous body has a soul in heaven, it should be able to let go of this bad breath and go to reincarnation with peace of mind.
Tang Zhouhai had a headache. Pregnant female prisoners could only be detained until they gave birth before being punished. There was another prisoner occupying space in the prison and who had to be carefully monitored.
"Wang Taohua, how did you, Yunying, get pregnant when you were not married? Did your adulterer instigate you to poison me?" Zhou Hai asked.
"No, no one ordered me!" Wang Taohua shouted.
Now Taohua's father couldn't bear it anymore. He went over and gave Wang Taohua a slap in the face, and angrily cursed: "Who is that beast? Do you still want to protect him?"
Wang Taohua gritted her teeth and said nothing. Dad Taohua suddenly turned to look at Bai Shengcai, "Is it you?"
"I have never touched her. If it were me, I would be struck by thunder, pierced through the guts, and tortured to death!" Sanlang swore loudly and hurriedly. He would feel disgusted if he was asked to marry Wang Taohua, let alone let him die.
Take such a scapegoat.
The people watching outside couldn't help laughing when they saw him swearing and swearing with disgust on his face.
"Who would have a stupid idea to have an affair with her?" Shi Fei said venomously.
He also trained with Saburo for a while. Although Saburo was always crying and annoying at the beginning, he has made some progress recently, and Saburo now dares to take responsibility, which makes him feel some sympathy for Saburo.
"Taohua, tell me the truth today, otherwise I won't have a daughter like you!" Taohua's father couldn't help but pointed at Wang Taohua's nose, and his hands were shaking with anger.
Wang Taohua's face turned a little pale. She had been pampered by her parents since she was a child. Because her parents gave birth to three brothers before giving birth to a girl, she was given whatever she wanted when she was little. She suffered more than her three brothers.
pet.
But her biggest reliance is her parents, and her biggest reliance is also the Wang family. Now that her father has disowned her, she is really panicking.
He subconsciously looked towards Qi Zhen in a panic, tears falling down.
Dad Taohua followed her gaze and knitted his brows tightly together, "Qi Zhen?"
"How is that possible?" Zhang An was the first to shout, "Qi Zhen is not that kind of person, and people don't like your peach blossoms either."
"You are a well-behaved and good boy in Qizhen. Don't rely on others to get pregnant." Zheng Fugui also said.
If it weren't for the restriction of status, the officials would have wanted to speak up for Qi Zhen. Qi Zhen is not that kind of person. This is obviously a shameless quarrel.
The Wang family is all very ashamed, but now is not the time to care about face, we must find out who it is.
"Qi Zhen, you said it yourself, if you were a man, you would dare to be more daring." Dad Taohua said.
Qi Zhen's face turned black with anger, "No one can blame me for what I didn't do."
Wang Taohua's body was shaken, as if she had been hit hard. She covered her heart and looked at Qi Zhen with pain on her face and said: "How could you do this to me? You asked me not to tell it, but I never told it.
Even if you treat me with a cold face every day, I never said anything, but now you don't care about me?"
"Aren't you hysterical and just imagining it?" Shi Fei couldn't help but mocked.
But Wang Taohua cried particularly sadly, looking at Qi Zhen with eyes that were both hurt and full of nostalgia.
"You said you must marry Bai Banxia and told me to wait patiently and you would not let me down in the future. I can wait, but are you going to keep your word now?" After she said that, she burst into tears, almost to the point of crying.
