Chapter 115 Guilty should be executed without money(2/2)
Master Wu Liu frowned and thought for a while: "Are you the son of Laoyuan on the West Street?"
Wu Chun responded yes.
Then these are people from the sixth room, what are they doing!
"You are a member of the family? Why didn't you tell the clan if something happened?" A master frowned and said, "Aren't you just fooling around! You've caused such a big trouble!"
Han Xu said: "How can complaining cause trouble?"
The old man said coquettishly and explained: "It means that trivial matters disturb the lord and cause trouble to the lord. The lord is so busy."
Before Han Xu spoke, Wu Chun shouted with grievance and anger: "I have told the clan many times! It has been more than ten years! No one pays attention to me!"
These words left the Wu family gentlemen around them speechless. Is this possible? There are so many people in the clan and so many things going on, how can they remember them?
"You're talking nonsense!" Master Wu Liu listened to the entourage's introduction to Wu Chun and knew the general reason, "Your wife and daughter were lost, and the clan members also helped to find them, but they couldn't be found. How can you say it was me who caused them?"
"
Wu Chun looked at him, his eyes were red and filled with tears, and his body was shaking: "Fifteen years ago, when you were celebrating your birthday, I brought my wife and daughter to help. After that night, my wife and daughter disappeared. Someone told me that it was you!
you!"
When he said this, he was trembling all over and his tongue was knotted. He gritted his teeth and yelled out every word with all his strength.
"You raped my little daughter! My wife rescued my daughter, but you beat them to death!"
There was an uproar when this statement came out!
"That's nonsense!" Mr. Wu Liu jumped even more, "That's nonsense! You're slanderous! I don't even know who your wife and daughter are!"
But when he jumped to the ground, a trace of panic flashed in his eyes. He had some quirks that should not be tolerated by outsiders, but he really had no memory of what happened more than ten years ago...
There are too many people, and he remembers everything!
The whole place was in an uproar, and the Wu clan members were also talking about it. The faces of the gentlemen were all ugly!
This is not okay! We cannot allow interrogation in public! Regardless of whether it is true or false, talking about this kind of thing in public is an insult to the family!
"Master Han! Listen to me, this matter is no small matter!"
"Master Han, we'd better take him to the Yamen!"
The gentlemen rushed forward to persuade him, feeling regretful and angry! If I had known better, I should have let these cadres take Mr. Wu Liu away!
Wu Chun over there said what he had buried in his heart, and he was already in ruins. He knelt down and kowtowed and shouted: "If you don't believe me, go to the dry well under the plum tree in the backyard of Mr. Six's house and search it. The bodies of my wife and daughter are in it!"
The surroundings were in an uproar again. Han Xu pushed away the gentlemen surrounding him and shouted "Search!"
The soldiers and horses entered the door like wolves and tigers, no one dared to stop them and went straight to the backyard. Han Xu ordered the government officials to clear the court, and the gentlemen were all stopped and retreated. As for his repeated pleas...
"Why do you want to avoid being interrogated?" Han Xu said calmly, his eyes sweeping across the venue, where hundreds of people were showing various expressions, "Just because it is about the reputation of the Wu family, shouldn't it be more important to make a conclusion in an upright manner, so that everyone can be innocent?
"
It seems that the innocence will no longer be clear. The gentlemen looked at each other with angry and desperate expressions, and their eyes were accusing each other. "I told you that Wu Liu's problem will cause trouble." "You don't care!"
Compared to the commotion of others, Master Wu Liu didn't speak. He was thinking about it in a daze. It seemed that there was such a thing, but it didn't seem to be the case. It was his birthday more than ten years ago. He must have drunk a lot of wine, and he was vaguely confused.
………
"grown ups!"
The searching soldiers rushed out from the door.
"There are indeed two corpses in the dry well! They have turned into bones! One is an adult and the other is a child!"
The whole place exploded!
Wu Chun gurgled several times and fainted.
Mr. Wu Liu also fell to the ground, sweating profusely.
The other gentlemen looked at each other and looked away without further communication.
That's it for now, there's nothing more to say.
Han Xu asked people to look after Wu Chun while waiting for the body to be dug out. Soon after, Wu Chun woke up and two bones were placed over. Onlookers crowded around to take a look, and the soldiers and guards tried their best to maintain order.
Wu Chun was helped to identify the body and picked up a gold bracelet and a gold collar from the bones.
"This is my wife's bracelet, and this is my daughter's collar!" He trembled, holding the bracelet and collar above his head to face the sun, "It also has my daughter's name on it!"
"Mumu! Daddy is here to accompany you!"
He let out a scream and hit the ground with his head. The officer next to him was prepared to stop him. Fortunately, his head was only bruised and bleeding.
Han Xu looked at Master Wu Liu: "Wu Jian, what do you have to say?"
Mr. Wu Liu raised his head from the ground and said with a pale face: "Even if this body is found in my home, it cannot be said that it was me. Maybe, maybe the two of them made a mistake and threw themselves into the well..."
Wu Chun cried several times: "Sixth Master! I have a witness! Your book boy saw it with his own eyes back then!"
It would be nice to have a witness. Han Xuming brought the book boy here. Today's book boy is no longer a book boy, nor is he a boy. He is as stooped as an old man who is half a hundred years old. He coughs and vomits blood.
"I am ill and will not die soon. In the past few years, I have dreamed of Sister-in-law Chun and Mu Mu crying to me day and night. I feel sorry for them."
"At that time, I wanted them to be rewarded in front of the Sixth Young Master, and to have more opportunities at home in the future, but I didn't expect that the Sixth Young Master drank too much, and Mu Mu..."
"I'm useless. I don't dare to stop me. I can only watch the eldest son do evil."
"The young master asked me to throw the body into the well. He also wanted to entertain guests..."
"I don't dare to say it. I don't dare to say it to anyone. Even if I say it, no one in the clan will care! Brother Chun, I'm sorry for you and I deserve death!"
"Now I'm going to die. If I don't tell you, I won't die in peace!"
"Now that the court lord is here, you can redress your grievances!"
The witness knelt on the ground and was about to die after saying these words. Wu Chun sat on the ground blankly and just smiled.
"Actually, I also guessed it, but I don't dare to say it, and I feel sorry for them..."
Looking at this scene, there was a buzz all around, with curses and tears followed by "What a sin", "What a sin", "Those are my nephews, wife and daughter", "They are really not human!"
Hearing the scolding, the Wu clan members all hid their faces, and Old Master Wu Er shouted, "Tie up this beast!"
The Wu clan members personally rushed forward and held Master Wu Liu down.
"Master Han! I'm waiting for Wu Yan!" Old Master Wu Er said, "Let me kill such a beast with my own hands!"
Master Wu Liu heard this and shouted to his second uncle! "Just punish me! There is no need to beat me to death! Which of you will do this kind of thing..."
Before he could finish his words, his tribesmen blocked his mouth, beat him with their fists, and cursed him!
Han Xu looked at the chaos and stopped him: "Family has family rules and the state has national laws. Since your family has sued the government, the only thing left is for the government to convict and punish you!"
Old Master Wu Er said well, "Master Han, please take him away quickly!"
Once he's locked up in a cell and given six and a half bedrooms and half a house's worth of property, he'll probably be fine.
Han Xu stood up and said: "There is no need to take them away. If an adulterer, wife or daughter kills someone, they should be executed according to the crime. General Xiao Qi will execute them."
Zhong Qi responded, stepped forward and grabbed Master Wu Liu, raised the knife in his hand and dropped his head, blood spurting out.
The tribesmen who didn't react and were still holding down the Sixth Master were all covered in blood. The next moment they screamed and fell down.
The noisy people were also startled by this sudden scene, and then exploded.
Amid the shouts, Han Xu said to Mr. Wu Er: "There is no need to give me money this time. This time the crime is unforgivable, so no money is needed."
