Chapter 602: Difficulties for Citizens to Sue Officials

After hearing this, Li Shuangwan and others really admired the thin man's mother.

It seems that every industry has its own way of protecting itself.

Bai Hongxian asked, "Since you said so, your mother should have left more than just these, right?"

The thin man nodded and took out some more things from his pocket, some of which were handkerchiefs and some were papers.

"Yes, there are indeed some. Look, these are all left by my mother. But there are still many good families, so my mother burned some of them after a few years."

Bai Hongxian had them taken and looked at them one by one.

Among these papers or handkerchiefs, only two of them stated who would be the murderer if I died.

The rest are all about who gave birth to a baby or a daughter on a certain day of a certain month of a certain year.

The two documents were written in a hurry, and like the previous one, the handwriting was sloppy and the characters were of different sizes.

For the rest, the handwriting is neat and the font size is consistent.

He even found his own in it.

"On the eighth day of the tenth month in the twenty-third year of Changping, I helped Mrs. Bai Li deliver a baby boy."

It turned out that this old woman was actually her midwife.

The date above is exactly his date of birth.

Bai Hongxian immediately took a liking to this person.

As he spoke, his tone became much softer. He picked up the piece of cloth and said, "Did you find that your mother's death was suspicious, so you were looking for this thing?"

"Yes, I remember it very clearly. When my mother came back that day, she was very worried and looked absent-minded. My father even asked her what was wrong. Wasn't she there to help the concubine of the General's Mansion give birth today? Why did she look like this?"

"The mother pulled the father's sleeve and said she had a strong premonition that she was going to die and her killer was on the way."

"My father even laughed at my mother, saying that the general who guards the country is such a good person, and he is so happy to have a fat boy, how could he send someone to kill you? It would be better to send you silver."

An elder of the Li clan couldn't help but ask, "What did your mother say at the time?"

"My mother didn't say anything at first, but my father realized that something was wrong with her expression, so he asked her several more times very carefully."

"Mother just said that the baby in Aunt Fang's belly was clearly full-term, but she asked the midwives to announce that it was a premature birth. She said there must be something wrong."

The case is now very clear.

Li Huaiyi is indeed not the old general's flesh and blood. He is indeed the illegitimate child born from Fang's affair with another man!

But Bai Hongxian still asked: "Since you have this evidence, why don't you report it to the police?"

The thin man glanced at Fang and shrank back.

The other woman spat at the thin man and called him a coward.

He took over the conversation and said, "Master Bai, of course we don't want to report to the authorities. But... hey, Madam Fang is the second wife of the General's Mansion. It's difficult for a commoner to report to the authorities."

Li Shuangwan knew what the difficulty was.

In the Northern Jin Dynasty, if a citizen wanted to sue an official, no matter what the sue was for, he would first be beaten with twenty sticks.

Moreover, those two maids must have received a lot of money from Fang.

If you want to sue, you have to return the money.

Li Huaiying put the old account book brought by the housekeeper on Bai Hongxian's desk: "Master Bai, this contains the records of my father's return to Shengjing and his departure every time."

Bai Hongxian just flipped through it briefly.

The account books are very detailed.

That time, the old general returned to Shengjing on the 18th day of the twelfth lunar month in the 24th year of Changping.

The day we left Shengjing and returned to the northwest was the 16th day of the first lunar month on the 25th day of the first lunar month in Changping.

Before this, the old general only came back once when his first wife, Feng, passed away. He stayed for a month and then returned to the northwest.

In other words, the old general has not returned to Beijing for three years.

Even if the old general had sex with Fang as soon as he returned to Shengjing, he would not be able to make Fang give birth to a full-term baby on the tenth day of the seventh month.

Li Huaiying looked at Madam Cai on the ground with cold eyes: "Do you still want to hide this for Fang?"

Madam Cai collapsed to the ground.

Bai Hongxian ordered: "Come on, give this wicked woman thirty lashes! Poisoning the mistress is a heinous crime!"

Fang had a dragon-headed cane in his hand and he couldn't move.

But he can still fight this evil slave.

The sound of the boards hitting people was accompanied by screams in the court.

After a while, Madam Cai's back was covered in blood.

Fang was filled with hatred, but she was powerless. Now she couldn't even protect herself.

Madam Cai was pressed to the ground like a dog. She raised her head and looked at Fang pleadingly, hoping that she could say something for her.

Unfortunately, no.

"I admit it, I admit it... Stop, stop fighting, I admit everything."

Bai Hongxian waved his hand and the bailiffs who were carrying out the execution retreated to the sides.

Madam Cai had been beaten to death and lay on the ground gasping for breath.

Fang suddenly opened her eyes and looked at Nanny Cai. She thought she wouldn't.

They have been master and servant for decades, and she has treated her well. But she can't bear just a few beatings?

Fang angrily raised the cane in her hand and hit Madam Cai hard on the already bloody wound.

Madam Cai screamed in pain and almost fainted.

Bai Hongxian shouted, "Fang, you are not allowed to resort to private punishment in court. Don't be so presumptuous!"

Fang's eyes were filled with murderous intent: "I am holding a dragon-headed cane. Not only can I beat a servant to death, I can also beat you, the prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture!"

Bai Hongxian was so angry that his wrinkled face twitched.

Li Shuangwan stepped forward and said, "Madam, you dare to kill people in public in front of all the people in Shengjing City!"

Fang's eyes were red with anger: "You little bitch, I'm going to beat you to death!"

"I see you dare!"

Li Shuangwan's face was cold. If she had to get to the bottom of this matter, she would have wanted to kill her that day!

Fang couldn't help but take two steps back.

"Madam Cai, tell me everything you know. The old lady won't dare to do anything to you!"

Madam Cai kowtowed to Li Shuangwan several times and begged, "Princess, I have committed too many sins over the years."

"I dare not ask for anything else. I only ask that after I die, please do not throw my body into a mass grave. I don't want to be torn apart by wild dogs after I die. I am afraid of the pain. Just find a place to bury me, or burn me."

Li Shuangwan didn't want to agree at first. This Aunt Cai was really abominable. She colluded with Fang and poisoned her grandmother. She deserved to die.

However, she was also forced by Fang and said, "Okay, I promise you."

Madam Cai heaved a long sigh of relief, endured the severe pain in her back, knelt straight, and said to Bai Hongxian: "Master Bai, I confess everything."

Lei Zhengliang knew that there was no chance that he would ever be able to turn things around.

He was killed by that bitch Fang Cuilan.

It was she who seduced him back then, and she didn't tell him when she was pregnant. She only told him that they had a son after she gave birth.
