Li Rouniang and others went to the town again.

When Li Si saw Li Rouniang coming over, he quickly stepped forward and said, "Rouniang, why are you here? What happened?"

"It's like this. Zhao Dahua from our village faked her pregnancy and her father-in-law knew about it and wanted to kill her. As a result, she died unexpectedly. My daughter Dani happened to see this and she was falsely accused of causing Zhao Hulu's death. This caused the dispute."

Li Rouniang sighed and said, Li Si was also in a dilemma. At this moment, another yamen runner came over and greeted him: "Li Si, this is the lady Li you mentioned, right?"

"Brother Zhang San, yes, she is the Rou Niang I told you about. Rou Niang, this is Brother Zhang San. You went to Liu Mansion last time with his help."

Li Rouniang hurriedly greeted him, "Brother Zhang San, thank you. I wanted to come to your house to thank you, but I didn't have the time, and we met under such circumstances. I will definitely come to your house to thank you another day."

"Why are you being polite? Li Si and I are brothers. No need to be so polite." Zhang San said.

At this time, Lord Gu came out, and Li Si and Zhang San quickly stood up. A group of yamen runners shouted together: "Mighty~"

The court suddenly became serious, making people nervous.

The gavel slammed, and Lord Gu sat firmly in the middle hall: "Who is in the hall?"

In fact, just before the court session began, Qian Duobao had already gone around to the back hall and briefly explained the matter to him.

But the process that should be followed still needs to be followed.

Zhao Youtian stepped forward and said, "Master Gu, I am the patriarch of Zhaojia Village. Someone has died in our village. I will bring all the parties here and ask Master Gu to judge them."

Lord Gu nodded, then asked, "Who is the person involved? Come forward and explain the situation."

"Sir, sir, I am innocent, sir, please help me." Zhao Dahua was the first to run forward, kneel down and cry bitterly.

Lord Gu frowned and asked, "What injustice have you suffered? Tell me."

"My lord, it was that cruel little bitch, Zhao Dani. She came to me to get entangled with me and told me about the past. At this time, my father-in-law came back and saw me struggling with him. He was afraid that I would get hurt, so he stepped forward to separate them. But Zhao Dani accidentally pushed my father-in-law, and he fell and hit the hoe, dying on the spot. Poor my father-in-law, wuwu, wuwu, wuwu."

"No, sir, it was Zhao Dahahua. It was Zhao Hulu who found out that Zhao Dahahua had faked a pregnancy to deceive him, so he got so angry that he chased her and beat her. That's why she accidentally fell down. This has nothing to do with me." Zhao Dani hurriedly stepped forward to explain.

"Do you have any witnesses to what you two said?"

The two shook their heads, each holding their own opinion, but the fact was that Zhao Hulu was dead. As for how he died, it was confirmed that he died accidentally because he hit his head on the hoe.

But when it comes to tracing the responsibility, I don't know who is responsible between the two.

"Sir, Li Si is willing to go to the scene to investigate." Li Si stepped forward to ask for permission.

This matter concerns Li Rouniang, so he naturally has to take the lead.

Li Rouniang looked at him gratefully. Zhang San frowned and thought to himself that Li Si was still a lovesick man. Why didn't he see it before?

But after all, he was his brother, and since Li Si had asked for permission, he had no choice but to step forward: "Please allow the two of us to go to the scene to investigate and see if there are any other discoveries."

Lord Gu nodded, and the two of them retreated and headed straight for Zhaojia Village!

Mr. Gu continued, "Just now Zhao Dani said that you were faking your pregnancy to deceive Zhao Hulu, so let me ask you first, is your pregnancy true or false?"

Zhao Dahua was panicking. Of course, it was fake, but she didn't dare to lie to Master Gu. After all, the matter would be clear if she asked the doctor to come.

She could only stammer and say, "My husband and mother-in-law died tragically at the time, and my father-in-law had no desire to live, so I made up such a lie. I was actually doing it for his own good. Later, after we settled down in Zhaojia Village, I told him about the situation. He also knew about it and forgave me."

Zhao Youtian frowned when he heard this. How could this be possible? Yesterday, he heard Zhao Hulu asking his wife about Zhao Dahua's pregnancy but she didn't show it, and he was worried that something might have gone wrong.

Why did it change when it came into Zhao Dahua's mouth?

"Sir, what Zhao Dahua said is not quite right. Zhao Hulu asked the village about the various situations of pregnant women yesterday. I'm afraid he doesn't know that Zhao Dahua is faking her pregnancy. He will know once he asks the villagers."

After hearing Zhao Youtian's words, Lord Gu said angrily, "Zhao Dahua, stop talking nonsense in court. Let me ask you first, is what you just said true or false?"

Zhao Dahua hesitated: "Even if what I said is false, it doesn't mean that I harmed him."

Lord Gu then asked, "That means Zhao Hulu didn't know about your fake pregnancy. Is that right?"

Zhao Dahua nodded, and then quickly explained: "I am also considering the overall situation."

Mr. Gu continued to ask Zhao Dani: "Zhao Dani, I want to ask you, why did you go to Zhao Dahua's house?"

Zhao Dani said quickly, "Yesterday Zhao Dahua came to me to complain. She said she wanted to leave Zhaojia Village and asked me to help steal some money from home for her. I thought about it last night and felt that this would not work, so I wanted to go to her house to persuade her. Who knew she would tell me about her fake pregnancy."

"Zhao Dahua, is what Zhao Dani said true?"

"This, this, she is talking nonsense. I have never seen her and I didn't go to see her yesterday." Zhao Dahua immediately denied it.

"Zhao Dani, is there anyone who can testify to this?"

"She pulled me into a secluded corner and no one knew what she said to me, but people in the village saw her and called me away."

Zhao Dahua lowered her head guiltily, but at the same time she breathed a sigh of relief. Even if she saw someone calling her away, what would happen? As long as she didn't admit their conversation, it would never be exposed.

Lord Gu then asked some questions about the whereabouts of the two people from yesterday to today, and whether there were witnesses or physical evidence. After asking a series of questions, Zhang San and Li Si came back in a hurry.

"Reporting to the lord, we saw messy footsteps in the yard. We can preliminarily conclude that Zhao Hulu was chasing someone at the time, and we have measured that person's footprints. It was Zhao Dahua's." Li Si reported.

"Sir, it's unfair, it's definitely not mine." Zhao Dahua was immediately panicked.

But the sophistry at this time seemed so weak. Lord Gu was very angry and finally ruled that Zhao Dani was not guilty.

Zhao Dahua was beaten with ten boards for intentional injury and sentenced to five years in prison!

This was the end of it. Li Rouniang walked out with the children, feeling completely relieved.

At the same time, I felt sad that Zhao Hulu's family could not escape the fate of being wiped out in the end.

"Aunt Li. I just happen to have something I want to discuss with you. I'll take you back first, and then we can talk."
