Rebirth: Don't Be the Best

There are also people who handle cases in the town, but the yamen is not big, and there are not many people left behind.

Zhang Shu followed them all the way here, watched Master Wang and others go in, and he waited at the door with other ordinary people. If there is a case to be tried later, they can watch it.

In his mind, it should be Zhang Huai who jumped over the wall in a hurry. Why was only Wu Liniang and that person arrested, but Zhang Huai was standing next to Master Wang?

As soon as Master Wang and the others entered, they gave a general account of the case.

Hearing that Master Wang's case was so complicated, the head of the place immediately set off to report to the county magistrate, who had to come over to sit in the town, because all the evidence was here, and if it was transferred, it would be inconvenient.

The county magistrate is a thin old man, different from the image of a potbellied person, which is usually a clean official.It is true that the magistrate is a good official, but it is another matter if he is not clear. Anyway, a good official is one who can serve the common people.

As soon as he heard that the case was so complicated, he didn't let the county magistrate in charge of criminal affairs go. Instead, he got into the carriage and took a team of officials to go there in person.

People were talking outside, probably talking about how the dead Master Wang suddenly came back to life.This matter spread all over the streets and alleys, and they thought the richest man in the town was really dead.

The people inside were eerily silent, and everyone was thinking about their own affairs, just waiting for the arrival of the magistrate.

The county is not too far from the town, and the county magistrate came here again in a carriage, and arrived at the scene after a while.When the crowd outside saw the magistrate, they immediately became quiet, and obediently made a way out for the magistrate and the officials to enter.

If there is no accident, the county magistrate will be the biggest official they can meet, and some people will never see an official bigger than the Yachai in their entire lives.

The magistrate of the county slapped the gavel, and there was immediately silence from below, and he called out again, and the servants below pressed against the stick rhythmically, making a mighty sound from their mouths.

After the process of being promoted to the hall, the magistrate asked, "Who is standing under the hall? Why don't you kneel when you see the official?"

The only one still standing in the hall was Mr. Wang. He cupped his hands towards the county magistrate, "I am the son of the 12th year of Shenyuan. According to the court law, it can be seen that officials do not kneel."

The county magistrate nodded. He didn't expect this person to be admitted two years earlier than him. "The person who reported the crime was you?"

"Exactly, my lord, today I was resting at home, and suddenly a person broke in, saying that someone was going to harm me, and I was not allowed to eat anything. I had doubts in my heart, and I felt that I was doing good deeds and accumulating virtue on weekdays. It won't attract resentment. But this person's words are sincere and his expression doesn't seem to be fake, so I will wait and see what happens."

"Not long after, a servant at home came to serve the dishes. I wanted to eat them directly, but I remembered what the man said, so I found a mouse to try the dishes for me. As a result, there was no poison in the dishes, but the soup was full of poison. The little white mouse died as soon as it was eaten, I was terrified and lost my mind. The man told me not to startle the snake, so there were rumors that I was dead."

"I was lying on the bed when two people broke in suddenly. It was my daughter-in-law and my husband. I didn't expect them to collude with each other with the intention of harming me. Fortunately, the Skynet was restored, and they were not leaking, so they saw through them." I hope my lord will see clearly!"

When the common people in the hall heard his words, they all breathed a sigh of relief. The daughter-in-law conspired with an outsider to murder the husband. They could talk about it for months!

Zhang Shu also took a deep breath. He took another look at Wu Liniang, admiring her in his heart. Under such circumstances, he was able to hook up with Zhang Huai and this gentleman. His skills are really amazing.

The county magistrate had no expression on his face. He nodded, indicating that he already knew about it, "What excuse does the prisoner have?"

After listening to Master Wang's words, Mr. Yang was full of doubts. Who on earth saved Master Wang so well?And listening to the meaning of Master Wang's words, I didn't know it before, so why did you send someone to beat him last night?

"The villain has something to say. The villain was at home last night, and was suddenly beaten up by several masked men. Before leaving, they told me that the Wang family sent people to do it. The villain was unwilling. Remembering that I have been working hard in the Wang family for decades, and I have never been slack, why the Wang family treats me like this, so the villain was blinded by lard for a while, and then I made a big mistake, please be careful." He snotted his nose Complaining in tears, she didn't mention the matter of collusion and adultery at all, and only said that she felt resentful because she was beaten innocently.

The county magistrate nodded, and he looked at Mr. Wang, "Is it true?"

"This..." Master Wang turned his head to look at Zhang Huai, and asked him what was going on with his eyes. He should have gone to teach that muddy boy a lesson last night!

"I had a quarrel with two countrymen in the county yesterday. They slandered me again and again, so I asked someone to reason with him. I don't know why they entered Yang's house by mistake, and their methods were cruel. I was negligent. Please punish me. .”

Mr. Yang was dumbfounded, maybe it was a misunderstanding, so why did he act so hastily, it actually showed his feet.Zhang Shu was also shocked. It seems that he was right to stay up late last night. If Zhang Huai hadn't brought people over, they would have suffered last night.However, how could Zhang Huai be so kind?He even went to this Mr. Yang's house.

The county magistrate kept looking at Master Wang, saw him look at Zhang Huai, and then asked Zhang Huai who was kneeling on the ground, "Who are you?"

Zhang Huai was watching a good show, when he suddenly saw the topic turned to him, he immediately kowtowed to the county magistrate, "The villain... the villain's name is... Zhang Huai, and he is the convict... the convict's distant cousin," Zhang said. Huai was very nervous at the beginning, but after a few words, he became fluent, "Because the Wang family has a big business, so I came here to ask for a job. The other day, Master Wang asked me to take someone to explain the truth. The villain remembered the wrong place, so I went I went to Mr. Yang’s house, but I didn’t want to hear that someone was going to murder Mr. Wang at the rockery in the morning, so I went to inform, so that Mr. Wang would not be murdered by villains.”

This rhetoric is in line with what Master Wang and Mr. Yang said, but if this is really an oolong case, then why would a criminal woman be brought out?And if Mr. Yang hadn't been helped by others, how would he have succeeded?Moreover, what Zhang Huai did was too coincidental, as if he arranged it all by himself.It seems that the criminal woman is the key to this case.

The magistrate thought of this, and then he slapped the gavel, "The prisoner under the hall raised her head, what do you have to say?"

Wu Liniang had always bowed her head and said nothing before. When she was struggling, her bun was messy and her hair drooped in front. She couldn't see the expression on her face at all, so she didn't know what she was thinking.

All three of these men had affairs with her, but when they got here, they all put aside their relationship with her. Sure enough, men are unreliable.However, it's not that easy to get rid of herself, these three people, she will drag them to hell one by one!

She raised her head with tears in her eyes, and looked at the magistrate above, "Master of the county! The little lady is wronged!" She cried hoarsely, which moved the people present, after all, everyone would unknowingly favor the weak.

"What grievance do you have, come quickly."

"I will murder my father-in-law with others, and I was coerced by this person!" She pointed to Mr. Yang next to her. "He is valued by his father-in-law, and he can come in and out of the house freely. The little woman has been in the boudoir for a long time, and there is no one to help her. She was bullied by this beast, and there is no way to ask for help. The little woman wanted to die to keep her innocence, but the child I was young, so I endured the humiliation. Today he broke into the house, gave me a pack of medicine, and asked me to put it in the soup. If I don't do it, I will tell the matter. I have no choice but to follow him. Said to do."

"Furthermore, my father-in-law and my mother-in-law are at odds with each other and often quarrel. The little lady went to appease me, but my father-in-law plotted against me when he was drunk. Although he regretted everything when he woke up, the little lady would always feel sad when thinking about this scandal. No end, that's why I chose to listen to that man's words out of desperation and attack my father-in-law."

"As for why my distant cousin took someone to teach Mr. Yang, it was probably because of me. He has been in and out of Wang's house for a long time, and he also has some thoughts about me. One day he broke my scandal and threatened me to have sex with him. Since I didn't follow suit, he held a grudge, so he went to the Yang family to make trouble under the guise of his name."

The mouths of the common people outside opened their mouths again, no wonder people said that the widow had a lot of gossip, it was really hateful that the three men in the hall were plotting against this woman.

This little woman is also pitiful. Her husband died with a posthumous child, and there was no good person around her. She didn't know how she survived. She was really crying.Everyone was sobbing for her, and some even shed tears involuntarily after imagining the tragic situation of orphans and widows being bullied.

Zhang Shu listened to the play with a blank face. If it was performed by the troupe, maybe he would sigh for her, but as a half player in the game, seeing her say these words now makes him feel very sad. Satire.

The county magistrate looked at the other three people, "Is it true?"

The other three were dumbfounded, they didn't expect this woman to bite them all out at once, and she also left herself so clearly, it seemed that she was the most wronged one.But you think, if a woman can deal with three men for two years without letting other people find out that there is something wrong, can she not be strong?

Mr. Yang first yelled at his injustice, "It's not that the villain took it by force, but that this woman deliberately hooked up, and she would cook some food and bring it to the study. I paint for her, and her clothes are light and thin, and she always sticks them to my body, and I fell for her because I was fascinated by ghosts for a while!"

Zhang Huai followed closely behind, "Yes, my lord, I ran into her occasionally on the street, and she always complained like me, throwing herself into her arms from time to time, always looking at me like that, hooking me up, that's why I... I just... get along with her."

Master Wang coughed repeatedly, and his throat was almost bursting. He pointed at Wu Liniang with trembling fingers, like fallen leaves in the wind. His face was full of anger, disbelief and disappointment. People couldn't help but want to believe that he was wronged. .

"Daughter-in-law, why did you wrong me like this? I'm not mean to you and your family!" He aimed to emphasize his family, intending to use them to threaten her.

However, what Wu Liniang hated the most was her so-called family members.
