Yan Xia drove her son and daughter-in-law away, and asked her eldest son to look at the front of the shop. She went to the backyard to comfort her daughter.

At this time, in the county government dungeon, Tian's family was tied to a wooden frame, and Zuo Li stood in front of several people with a whip.

"Who teased Yan Changyu just now? Tell me!" There are no windows in the dungeon, so even the slightest sound will echo. As soon as Zuo Li's majestic words were spoken, they were like reverberation, reaching the ears of several people.

It added a bit of horror.

"I, I, I didn't tease her, I just said a few words to her. Mr. Official Officer, you are aware that I really didn't do anything." Li Changdui's original carefree appearance disappeared. He seemed to have seen a cat. Like a rat, he shrinks his neck and dare not speak loudly.

Just like a nest.

"Pa—" Zuo Li didn't say much, and whipped out the whip.

"Ah——" Li Changdui shouted in pain.

The wail echoed back and forth in the dungeon four or five times before it stopped.

It made several other people tremble with fear, their eyes full of fear.

"And you, where are the bodies of the eight granddaughters you killed?" Zuo Li walked to Tian again.

He smelled a foul stench.

"Tick-tick-tick-" Following the sound of water, Zuo Li slowly lowered his head and saw that both of Tian's trouser legs were wet and dripping with urine.

He took a step back, and the smell faded a little.

"I, I didn't, I didn't kill them." Tian replied tremblingly.

"Still telling the truth? Okay, I think you won't cry until you see the coffin." Zuo Li raised his right hand holding the whip and shook it, just as he was about to hit Mr. Tian.

Tian yelled.

"I said, I said, five of those girls were thrown into the mountains, two were tied with stones and thrown into the river, and the last one was buried in my field."

Zuo Li's eyes narrowed. "You guys, go to Baihua Village, search, see how many bones you can find, and bring them all back."

He ordered several officials around him.

"It's the boss." Several people responded and walked out.

"Third from the left, you watch them here and continue to ask questions to see what else they have done. I will report to the magistrate."

"Okay." Third left took the whip.

Replaced Zuoli's position.

The next day, Magistrate Lu went to court for interrogation, and many people stood outside.

A soft cloth was wrapped in a square shape and placed in the middle of the yamen.

The Tian family is kneeling on the right side of the package, and the Yan Xia family is standing on the left.

"Snapped--"

"You are so bold, Mr. Tian, ​​you dare to murder eight granddaughters. Do you know your fault?" The alarm was raised, and everyone's hearts trembled unconsciously.

Tian peed his pants again. "I, I didn't." Tian was shaking like a sieve. She was afraid that the magistrate would behead her if she admitted the crime, so she recanted her confession on the spot.

"Come here, I'll be tortured!" Magistrate Lu didn't get used to her harsh words.

He directly ordered the Yamen to put on the instruments of torture.

After a while, Tian's ten fingers were clamped.

Two yamen cadres stood on each side, one on each side.

Pull like this at the same time.

"Oooooooo-"

"Ouch, I said, I said, ah, ouch, ouch—"

Tian's scream sounded like a pig being killed.

She cried and howled.

The sound was so loud that everyone frowned.

"explain."

Lu Zhixian only uttered one word, and the Yamen official let go of Tian's hands, and Tian collapsed on the ground in embarrassment.

Ten fingers connected to the heart.

She burst into tears of pain.

"I did it. I killed them, but they were baby girls. They were worthless. They were dead. So what. If they didn't die, my grandson wouldn't be born. If they didn't die, what would happen to our family? I can afford to raise so many children. Lord Magistrate, I know my mistake, but I don’t regret it. It’s worth it to have eight of them die in exchange for the birth of my grandson! My Zhu family cannot live without an heir—"

Tian's men were also brought over and knelt in the hall together.

He said nothing, as if invisible.

Obviously he is the biggest beneficiary.

"Ah--"

Yan Xia chuckled.

The quiet surroundings made her laughter particularly obvious. Lu Zhixian pretended to cough twice and did not snap the alarm.

he asked Xiang Yanxia. "Ms. Yan, why are you laughing?"

"The common woman laughed at how stupid this old woman was. She said that baby girls are worthless and should not be born. If there were no baby girls in the world, the world would have perished long ago. You keep saying that your Zhu family wants to have an heir. Is your surname Zhu? ? To the Zhu family, you are just an outsider. When you say you are helping the Zhu family to keep a queen, are you helping yourself? No, you are trying to please your man. You just want to keep a queen for him. And where is your man? When you were being beaten, without even raising your eyelids, do you think if only one person between you and him could survive, who would he choose to let live?"

Zhu Ershi did not expect that Yan Xia would bring the topic to him on the spot.

He turned his head and glared at Yan Xia fiercely.

But Yan Xia didn't even look at him and continued.

"It's sad, it's really sad. You have been miserable all your life. You are worse off than your eight dead granddaughters. At least they don't have to work hard like you. If there is such a thing as reincarnation, they may have been reincarnated to the point of pain. They have gone to the wealthy family who loved them. Your Majesty, the county magistrate, and the women of the country remember that there is a clear and clear provision in the law that you are not allowed to drown female infants. This old woman killed eight female infants, which is already a heinous crime!"

Having said this, Yan Xia squatted down and gently opened the package with both hands. The five little corpses inside were revealed. Many years had passed and the corpses had long turned into white bones.

Some can be pieced together into a complete human form, while some are missing arms and legs, and even have scars on their bones. It seems that they were bitten by animals before they died.

Lu Zhixian's pupils were dilated. He grabbed Jingtang Mu's hand and couldn't help trembling.

These five corpses were found from Gaoshan and the Zhu family's fields. The river in Baihua Village was too deep to fish out the remaining corpses. The last one could not be found in the mountains. It might have been eaten clean by wild beasts. net.

No one knows.

People standing outside the hall also vaguely saw the bones.

The soft-hearted woman cried loudly, and even the man's eyes were filled with tears.

Yan Xia stood up and continued to speak to Magistrate Lu, with a cry in his voice.

"Baby girls are born. They are people, no longer fetuses. They also have life, know hunger, know cold, and feel pain! Tian killed eight baby girls, which means he killed eight people. Please ask the county magistrate to follow the killing rules She must be punished for her crime. If she is not severely punished and some stupid people in Jiasu County follow suit, there will be many more innocent ghosts in the world. In the future, there will be more men than women, men will not be able to marry, and women will be stared at eagerly. There must be chaos in the world, Lord Magistrate——"

If Lu Zhixian was just allowed to punish Tian for killing the baby girl, Lu Zhixian might be lenient, but if Yan Xia leads the conversation to the chaos in the world, Tian will have to die now even if his crime did not warrant death.

Yan Xia lowered his head and curled the corners of his mouth slightly. In less than a second, he returned to his sad expression.
