After rebirth, my wife just wants to be a widow

Listening to the increasingly low cursing outside, Shen Ruoyan calmly found the food box from the haystack, took out a piece of pastry leftover from last night, sat in the corner and ate it deliciously.

Unfortunately, not long after, the sound of several tapping footsteps came from far and near. Shen Ruoyan quickly pulled off the blanket she was wearing, rolled it up into a ball and stuffed it into the haystack.

Just after hiding the blanket, a corner of the jailer's clothes could be seen outside the prison door. Shen Ruoyan couldn't bear to throw away the small piece of cake left in her hand, so she simply stuffed it into her mouth and chewed it quickly. Before she could swallow it, the jailer He had already opened the door and walked in.

Seeing Shen Ruoyan sitting on the ground blankly, with confusion and panic flashing in her eyes, the jailer couldn't help but feel a little pity, and softened his voice and said: "Come out with me quickly, we adults want to ask you a question."

Shen Ruoyan still had some pastry in her mouth, so she could only nod her head, and when the jailer turned around, she swallowed all the pastry in one breath.

Wu Youcai on the other side did not receive such good treatment.

After being imprisoned, Wu Youcai kept cursing, which annoyed the jailer. Now when he walked into Wu Youcai's cell, he even said impatiently: "Get out of here and go to prison!"

Wu Youcai had been cursing all night, and now he had lost all his strength. He was lying on the ground with a dry and sore throat.

Seeing his half-dead state, the jailer kicked him angrily, "Don't you always complain about injustice? Now that I have given you a chance to prove your innocence, why are you mute?"

Wu Youcai had never been treated like this before. He got up angrily and opened his mouth to fight back, but his throat seemed to be clamped. A thin and hoarse sound came out of his mouth, like a hen that had been caught by the cold.

"Pfft~ahhahaha~"

The jailer was unprepared. When he heard such a strange sound, he burst out into a burst of laughter, making Wu Youcai jump.

Even though they were angry, the two of them were forced into the hall by the jailer.

The county magistrate was already sitting behind the desk in the middle, looking at Shen Ruoyan and Wu Youcai with a serious face.

The Zhao family is a big and prestigious family here. Zhao Tianle's death has already caused uproar in the city. As a county magistrate, he is under great pressure. If the reason is not investigated, I am afraid that the black gauze hat on his head will not be preserved.

With a "pop" sound, the county magistrate slammed the gavel in his hand onto the table.

Wu Youcai trembled all over, fell to his knees on the ground, and said proactively with a bitter look on his face: "My lord, you are wronged. I just had a slight conflict with President Zhao that day and argued with each other for a few words. Unexpectedly, we said Then, he suddenly vomited blood."

His sharp and hoarse voice made the county magistrate almost laugh out loud when he heard it.

Wu Youcai didn't notice that the county magistrate's face was distorted by suppressing laughter, and he said to himself: "Oh, how could I be so unlucky to have such a thing happen to me?

Sir, let me judge. If we have a conflict with someone, should we always confront him? This is a normal thing. Why did Zhao Tianle suddenly disappear?

Hey, if I had known this, I wouldn't have cared about him that day. "

After hearing what Wu Youcai said, the county magistrate finally got used to his strange voice, adjusted his expression and asked Shen Ruoyan beside him: "Is what he said true?"

Shen Ruoyan nodded, "President Zhao did have a few quarrels with Boss Wu that day. The Zhao family's servants were also present at the time, and they can also testify."

"Yes, people from the Zhao family are also around!" When Wu Youcai heard this, he quickly echoed excitedly, "I only said a few words to him that day, and I didn't even touch Zhao Tianle's clothes. These things are all There is a witness.”

The county magistrate also knew that this was true. After Zhao Tianle died suddenly, he asked his men to interrogate everyone present at the time one by one, and the results were similar to what Wu Youcai said.

Seeing that nothing new could be found, the county magistrate shouted to the audience: "Bring the Zhao family here!"

Not long after, an older man and a woman with red eyes from crying came in.

They are Zhao Tianle's husband and wife respectively.

Father Zhao glanced at Wu Youcai, not hiding the anger in his eyes.

He is over [-] years old and has been working hard for most of his life. In recent years, he felt a little out of his depth, so he gradually handed over all his business to his son.

Although his son Zhao Tianle has no great talent, he is not a prodigal son. Mr. Zhao was planning to retire behind the scenes and take care of his old age. He didn't expect that the son he had worked so hard to cultivate would be gone. How could he let it go?

Mr. Zhao raised his hands and said to the county magistrate: "My son is usually strong and healthy, how could he suddenly vomit blood and die? There must be some conspiracy involved. Please seek justice for my son!"

"Bah, you said your son is in good health, does that mean he is really in good health?" Wu Youcai jumped up from the ground and fought back with full force: "I always see your son every time I go to a restaurant. He spends all day drinking and drinking. , I’m afraid my body has been hollowed out a long time ago.”

"How can you slander my husband like this? He is so big, how can he be made of paper?" Zhao Tianle's wife wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said pitifully, "My husband goes to restaurants all day long, and that is for the sake of the family. business. Besides, I will naturally know whether he is in good health or not."

In the next half of the sentence, she spoke softer and quieter, and finally she seemed to remember something and shed tears sadly again.

When Zhao Tianle's father saw this, he was not willing to be outdone and said: "Humph! The concubine my son just took in a few months ago became pregnant not long after entering the house. Do you think my son is in good health?"

The county magistrate had a headache after hearing this.

Seeing that the conversation was getting carried away more and more, he had no choice but to knock the gavel again and shouted loudly: "Quiet! This is a court, you all, please be serious."

Several people in the hall immediately shut up and became quiet.

Shen Ruoyan finally found a chance to speak and asked: "Sir, since President Zhao is in good health, could there be other reasons that led to his sudden death?"

The county magistrate actually thought so too, but in a small place like theirs, at most some sneaky things happened on weekdays. There had never been such a bizarre murder case, and no one in the Yamen had such experience.

If the person who died this time was an ordinary person, he could find any reason to get rid of the matter. But now that the person who died was the Zhao family, this matter might not be easy to handle.

Seeing the county magistrate's thoughts, Mr. Zhao said loudly: "If we don't find the murderer, we will go to the state capital! If the state capital can't find out the reason, I will go to the capital and file a lawsuit! No matter what, even if I will risk my life to seek justice for my son!"
