Chapter 361： Female champion VS dandy 26 ┃ Zhuang Yuqing's ending

Wiping away her tears, putting on new clothes, and walking outside, Du Shi realized that it was already bright.

She was brought to court by two yamen and knelt on the ground.

There were already people standing outside, pointing and swearing at her, and the words such as poisonous women, sluts, and should be killed kept coming.

So, the three nobles I saw in the cell just now were really dreaming, right?

Du Shi looked at everything around him in a trance.

She soon found her parents and a pair of children standing at the front of the crowd. They looked at them with red eyes, and their faces were full of grief and despair, but they repeatedly shouted to the people around them: "My mother (my daughter) is wronged! She did not kill!"

Nobody believed them.

The louder they shouted, the more people demanded that Du Shi be severely punished. In this era of patriarchal power, men can still survive by killing their wives, but women cannot be forgiven for killing their husbands!

Du Shi shook his head at his family, and slowly knelt down on the ground.

Now she is just lingering. That being the case, she would rather go to the guillotine quickly.

When her spine was about to be crushed by despair, footsteps came from the hall, and it was the official master.

The yamen standing on both sides shouted to open the hall with a killing stick.

The crowd, who had crowded the yamen's door, immediately quieted down, and occasionally someone shouted in surprise: "This official is so young and handsome! He sits brightly on the top."

Young and handsome? For some reason, Du Shi suddenly thought of the glowing face he had seen in the cell by the orange lights in the early morning.

So she looked up quietly, then opened her eyes wide in astonishment.

This man is the noble man I saw in the cell! Are you not dreaming?

When she fell into a daze, the young and handsome official patted the gavel and ordered, "Bring the prisoner up!"

Isn't the culprit himself? Who else to bring? Du Shi looked left and right, and his expression became more and more dazed.

At this moment, she gasped, and there were many people standing outside watching the lively crowd from her village. They were all familiar with their family. At this time, they all shouted in surprise: "Chen Sheng! It's Chen Sheng! He's not do you died?"

"Father!" Du's sons and daughters exclaimed in unison.

The deceased in this case, Chen Sheng, staggered to the front of the court in handcuffs and shackles, along with six other beggars and a young man. Not long after, the dealer who reported on the Du family was also escorted up by two yamen and knelt on the ground. Behind him was a woman with a big belly, who was Chen Sheng's concubine.

At this point, the criminals have finally arrived.

Du Shi's parents held on to their grandson and granddaughter who wanted to rush forward to recognize Chen Sheng, and a look of resentment slowly appeared on their faces.

They are old and sophisticated, and have already guessed some truths.

Du Shi pointed at the tip of Chen Sheng's nose, his lips trembled slightly, and tears rolled down his cheeks.

Seeing this man come back from the dead and be escorted to the court together with the merchant, she immediately understood everything. The severe torture he suffered these days, and even the decapitation disaster, were all planned by this person!

Hurrah! Wow! Husband and wife for many years, she actually got this in exchange!

The people standing outside the door also burst into a shocking uproar. The dead come back to life, this case is too mysterious!

However, no matter how complicated the case was, the truth was quickly and clearly presented to everyone's eyes after the young and handsome official sorted it out.

It turned out that the real victim of this case was Du Shi from beginning to end. She is the one who will be killed in the end. Her husband Chen Sheng not only wanted to occupy the Du family's property, but also wanted to put his concubine into the main room, so he planned such a poisonous plan with his friend Zhuang Yuqing.

He asked Du Shi first and confessed that he had raised the outer room, in order to anger Du Shi, let her leave him and go first, and in the next few days, he behaved abnormally, arousing suspicion from others.

Afterwards, he bribed a few beggars and asked them to find a corpse similar to his body and charred it, leaving behind a ring finger and a jade pendant for Du Shi to identify.

After he was done, he bought a currency man and asked him to sue Du Shi.

And he himself hid in the mountains, waited until Du was beheaded, and then ran out struttingly, inheriting the Du family's ten thousand fortunes, and the wind and scenery welcomed his concubine into the door.

In addition, he will pretend to be very sad and run to beat the drum, sue the unconscious officer who killed his wife by mistake, and let this person pay for his wife's life!

He only needs to say that he lost his way in the mountains and was sent back by a hunter recently, so that he can cover up the doubts about him. As for who the real deceased was, when no one cared about it and couldn't investigate it, the officials who tried the case would just choose and leave it alone.

Killing the Du family, stealing the family property, marrying a sweet girl, and harming Zhuang Li, this is a lucrative chain plan, and every link is very careful.

It's a pity that when Chen Sheng was killed, he didn't expect Zhuang Li to break the truth at a glance.

At the beginning, Zhuang Yu clearly said that this strategy would definitely work!

Chen Sheng looked at Zhuang Yuqing, who was kneeling beside him, with a remorse and fierce light in his eyes.

Zhuang Yuqing knelt down on the ground, confessed to all the charges, and said with certainty that everything was his idea and had nothing to do with others. His purpose was to kill Zhuang Li with a knife.

Zhuang Li just smiled, not angry. He threw down a penalty ticket and said indifferently, "If he refuses to confess honestly, hit me until he spit out the real man behind the scenes."

Zhuang Yuqing suddenly raised his head and looked at the hall with a distorted expression. He realized that Zhuang Li knew everything!

Several yamen officers came over immediately, pressing Zhuang Yuqing to beat the board hard. Chen Sheng, merchants, and beggars were all unavoidable.

For a time, there were screams in the hall, but the crowd standing outside cheered loudly.

This case revealed the sinister heart of the human heart incisively and vividly, making everyone feel even more indignant while chilling down their spines. If Du Shi was really killed, would she be wronged? Her father, her mother, her children, are they wronged? Are the officials who tried the case wronged?

Chen Sheng killed so many people in one breath, he should be damned!

Someone shouted, "Cut his head off!"

So all the onlookers waved their fists and shouted.

Du Shi hurriedly turned his head to look at the pair of children, but saw that they were clenching their teeth and crying silently.

Master Du and Madam Du held their fists tightly, as if suppressing the urge to beat Chen Sheng with their own hands. They can't forgive this beast! He is so vicious!

If it wasn't for the aid from the Du family, Chen Sheng, who had no father or mother, would have starved to death long ago!

After the board was beaten, Zhuang Licai slowly pronounced the sentence: "Chen Sheng, capital punishment; Zhuang Yuqing, capital punishment; you six, capital punishment; you two are imprisoned for ten years. Retire from the court."

He stood up and waved at Du Shi: "You, go home."

Chen Sheng and Zhuang Yuqing both slumped to the ground.

However, Mrs. Du kowtowed hard and cried with joy, "Master Xie Qingtian! Master Xie Qingtian! The daughter of the people will definitely be a cow and a horse for you in the next life to repay your kindness today."

Before she could stand up, a pair of sons and daughters rushed forward and hugged her tightly. Master Du and Madam Du also surrounded her, crying so hard.

The picture of their family reunion stimulated Chen Sheng, making him cry heartbreakingly while pulling his hair. He didn't want to die, everything in the Du family originally belonged to him, he didn't want to die!

Zhuang Yuqing's soul has been lost, several yamen wanted to drag him up and take him away, but he was lying on the ground like a dead dog.

Zhuang Xiaohui stayed in a carriage opposite the yamen, smiling and looking at Du Shi, who was surrounded by her family.

The crowd outside the yamen gradually dispersed, but this strange case became a topic of discussion for everyone.

Wan Jun, who was sitting on the cab, said in a low voice, "Master Zhuang is really a god. He can actually find out the truth in such a headless case."

"Of course, my brother is amazing!" Zhuang Xiaohui raised her head proudly.

Wan Jun looked back at her happy smiling face, and was very satisfied. During the recent period of time, he has slowly discovered the secret to pleasing his boss without a trace: doing things with all his heart is one thing, and the other one is to flatter Mr. Zhuang with all his strength.

The owner must be happy to hear that.

No, Zhuang Xiaohui is boasting endlessly: "I tell you, my brother is a god! Do you know how he found out the identity of the deceased? He took the man's skull home and looked at it and measured it. , and then painted the appearance of the deceased before he was alive..."

Wan Jun was very fascinated by it, and at the same time, the stormy waves were stirring in his heart. He never knew that a case could be investigated like this!

While the two were talking, Zhuang Li came out of the yamen opposite. He had already changed into a Chinese robe, and he looked like a rich boy, not an official at all.

He boarded the carriage and said lazily, "You can just send me to the gate of the palace. I won't go home to sleep tonight."

"Did the emperor also hear about this case?" Zhuang Xiaohui guessed.

"Yes, I'm going back to the palace to report to him. After I'm done, I'm going to find your sister-in-law and rest at his place." Zhuang Li held his forehead and chuckled, looking very happy. Today's note, he still carried it in his arms and didn't send it out, that person must be anxious.

If he didn't receive a note for a day, Feng Ming would have to make trouble.

"You and my sister-in-law have no relationship, is it not appropriate to sleep with her every day?" Zhuang Xiaohui tangled.

"What's wrong? If you like someone in the future and want to go out and sleep with that person every day, I won't stop you." Zhuang Li said casually.

Hearing this, Zhuang Xiaohui's cheeks blushed, but she looked at Wan Jun subconsciously, her eyes lingering on his strong chest and strong arms.

Wan Jun, who has been following her all the time, immediately received this fiery look, and immediately flushed.

Zhuang Li looked at the two back and forth, then pointed at Wan Junlang and smiled: "Xiaohui, do you want to eat him?"

"Bah! You are talking nonsense!" Zhuang Xiaohui denied it with all her teeth and claws.

Wan Jun was still full of anticipation, but seeing her panicked reaction, all the light in his eyes went out.

"What are you ashamed of?" Zhuang Li scratched the tip of his sister's red nose.

Zhuang Xiaohui waved his hand away and changed the subject extremely bluntly: "Brother, why do you think Master Du should hand over the family business to his son-in-law? It's not like Chen Sheng is a doo who can't be helped. He doesn't know that. Is the identity of a man that important? Are only men worthy of family property?"

Zhuang Li rubbed her head and promised, "My brother can't control what others think, but our family's property will only be handled by you. You can do whatever you want. As I said before, even if You run out every day to hang out with wild men. As long as you are not hurt, you have never hurt others, and you have no regrets, my brother will never stop you. You are completely free, and your choice is your brother's choice. "

Zhuang Xiaohui, who originally just wanted to relieve the embarrassment, now has red eyes.

She threw herself into Zhuang Li's arms and choked: "Brother, I'm really happy. Why do I have a good brother like you? I'm really afraid that this is a dream, and I wake up with nothing."

Zhuang Li pinched her tender cheeks and asked, "Do you still feel like you are dreaming?"

Zhuang Xiaohui cried out in pain, then covered her mouth and smiled happily.

Seeing her so happy, Wan Jun's empty heart gradually became fulfilled. That little delusion just now was quietly buried deep in his heart, and he never dared to come up again.

Zhuang Li got off the carriage at the gate of the palace.

Seeing his back disappearing into the corner, Zhuang Xiaohui waved her hand in desperation: "Go home."

Wan Jun responded in a low voice and slowly turned around on the carriage.

Zhuang Xiaohui suddenly jumped on his back, put both hands on his shoulders, and whispered in his ear, "If I really want to eat you, would you be happy?"

Wan Jun: "!!!"

Now or never! Wan Jun replied immediately: "I'm happy!"

Zhuang Xiaohui smiled softly in his ear, and then very slowly touched his broad back and thin waist.

Wan Jun: "..." This is really fatal!

---

At the same time, knowing that Zhuang Yuqing was sentenced to death, Feng Yu just shook her head and sneered. It's no pity that this kind of waste dies.

What he cares more about is another news.

"His Royal Highness, Zhuang Xiaohui's source of goods has been investigated. She produces all her own fabrics and uses a spinning machine. A normal spinning machine has only one or two spindles. Her machine has sixteen spindles. It is said that it has been improved recently. Now, it has increased to 60 spindles. She has a total of 30 machines, which is equivalent to 1,800 people spinning her yarn at the same time. How do you think her shop can sell all the fabrics? All of her machines will pay gold. Egg hen!"

A spy said excitedly.

"Thirty machines can be worth 1,800 people. No wonder Zhuang Xiaohui's cloth is sold like running water." Feng Yu ordered decisively, "Go! Help this king to find out the style of that kind of machine."

Winning courtiers, buying troops, and building weapons, which of these things cost nothing? And what Feng Yu lacked the most was money.

He took a fancy to Zhuang Xiaohui's property. Even if Feng Yi was standing behind him, he would grab it.
