Transformed into the control group, relying on the spiritual spring space to feed four children
Chapter 22: I have been wronged!
Ma Huo looked at Wen Yan, then at Wen Nanfeng, and finally asked, "Call the witnesses."
Hunters Zhang Da and Zhang Er are a pair of brothers who depend on each other. They live in the mountains and make a living by hunting.
Wan Xuan bought the white fox from Zhang Da for ten taels of silver. Zhang Da used the money to hire the best doctor to treat his brother who had fallen off a cliff. However, although he woke up, his brother's legs were already lame, and he didn't know if he could get better in the future.
Zhang Da used the money to help out at the time, but afterwards he always felt sorry for such a kind child like Wan Xuan. He found out where they lived and always sent them game.
After a few visits, the two families became familiar with each other, and unexpectedly found out that Zhang Er had once released Wen Nanfeng on the mountain, and it was Wen Nanfeng who had brought him to this point.
Therefore, when Wen Yan sent a message asking him to come over to testify, the two brothers came without hesitation.
Zhang Da knelt in the court and told Wen Nanfeng everything he had done.
After listening to Zhang Da's statement, Ma Huo's heart tilted towards Wen Yan. He said angrily: "Wen Nanfeng, you are so rude! How dare you deceive me!"
Wen Nanfeng smiled and said, "How dare I? But Zhang Da still can't replace Zhang Er, right?"
"Okay," Ma Huo almost laughed out of anger. This Wen family really opened his eyes. "Wen Nanfeng, you still refuse to plead guilty, right?"
Wen Yan suggested, "I believe the county magistrate has already seen clearly that so much evidence points to him. Even if there is no direct evidence, as long as he is tortured, he will confess. It just so happens that I have a method that even a man made of iron cannot resist."
Ma Huo was suspicious, but he didn't believe that a woman like Wen Yan could come up with any solution. "Wen Zheng, go and listen."
Ma Wenzheng was called and was stunned for a moment. He looked at Wen Yan's eyes, which were always clear and bright, and could not connect her with the person in the rumor.
Wen Yan whispered something in his ear.
Ma Wenzheng was in doubt and told Ma Huo. Although the latter was a little surprised, he thought it was feasible after thinking about it, nodded and said, "Just do as she said."
"Someone, drag him away!" Ma Wen was leading his men to the backyard. It was unknown what kind of torture they used, but soon a man's screams were heard from the backyard, which were extremely shrill.
Wen Yan glanced at Wen Cuishu, who was trembling beside her, and said loudly: "My cousin also knows a lot of things. She should also taste this torture. Your Excellency will definitely gain something."
Ma Huo waved his hand and asked someone to pull her.
"No! Don't!" Wen Cuishu screamed and broke free from the clerk. "My lord, I'll tell you everything! Wen Nanfeng, Wen Nanfeng did it on purpose! He kidnapped Wan Xiaqing, and he wanted to kill Zhang Er. He also killed my man, he did it on purpose! I didn't want my husband to die either, he's a monster!"
The Ning Dynasty has laws that forbid the abuse of private punishment and torture to obtain confessions. Wen Nanfeng walked out of the prison intact, and Wen Cuishu finally realized that she had been deceived.
"Wen Yan, you bitch! You colluded with the county magistrate to deceive me! You are all in the same group!" Wen Cuishu let out a shrill cry from her throat, crying and making a fuss.
Ma Huo ordered someone to block her mouth. "You are annoying me because of your noise. Wen Nanfeng deliberately killed, kidnapped, and injured people. He will be executed on a certain day."
Wen Nanfeng glared at Wen Yan fiercely, and rushed over to strangle her with the chain in his hand, but was stopped. He smiled grimly: "Wen Yan, don't think you won."
"Wen Nanfeng, have you ever heard this sentence?" Wen Yan's expression never changed, and she even showed amazing calmness and beauty in this environment.
Wen Nanfeng: "What?"
"Incompetent rage."
"You! Wen Yan, I'm going to kill you!"
No matter how angry Wen Nanfeng was, if he wanted to kill someone, he had to leave the dungeon first.
Ma Huo breathed a sigh of relief. This case, after many twists and turns, finally came to an end. He said, "Adjourn the court!"
"Wait a minute!"
This was the second time Ma Huo heard these two words today, and it was said by the same person.
This Wen Yan really doesn't know how to look at other people's faces. Xiahe Town has been saddled with so many insults, yet she still dares to show up in public. "What else do you want?"
Wen Yan kowtowed, "I have been wronged!"
"I want to sue the Wan family of Xiahe Town for destroying my reputation and slandering me! Magistrate Ma is the father and mother of the people. He has been in office for more than 20 years and has never handled any unjust, false or wrong cases. He will definitely seek justice for me!"
This sentence silently gave Ma Huo a compliment. If Ma Huo didn't accept it, wouldn't he be known as a lazy person?
This woman is really good at sweet talk. Well, let's hear what she wants to say.
Ma Huo's mind was full of thoughts and he moved his butt to make himself more comfortable: "What do you mean? Tell me in detail."
The crowd standing at the door saw that there was another case after one was tried, and the one being tried was the vicious woman of the Wan family that had been circulating recently, so no one left.
Among the crowd, a little beggar heard what Wen Yan said and ran away immediately. He took his friends with him as quickly as possible to spread the news everywhere.
"The vicious woman of the Wan family has taken the Wan family to court?!"
"That's right! And he said he was wronged!"
"real or fake?"
"Go and have a look!"
While Wen Yan was refuting the rumors, the crowd outside the yamen grew larger and larger, surrounding the place in three circles inside and outside.
"I am Wen Yan, a commoner. When I was still the eldest lady in the Wan family, my mother-in-law said that I was a hen that only laid eggs because my first two children were daughters. All the children I gave birth to were money-losing. I had a very difficult life at home. Even my children often didn't have enough food or warm clothes."
"Later, I gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl, but my mother-in-law was still unhappy because the fourth child had a big birthmark on his face. As for their accusation that I taught the fourth child to curse, that is nonsense."
"I am in such a difficult situation in the Wan family, how could I want my husband to die. Only when he comes back can I live a good life!"
Ma Wenzheng was still skeptical: "Then why did your son say that his father was dead?"
"They are father and son. Even if the fourth child sensed his father's death, what's wrong with that? Why do we have to attribute it to a curse?"
"As for what Xu Xiaorou said, when I left the Wan family, I didn't take a single cent from them. After I left, all the money I earned was from my own hard work, and I never accepted charity from the Wan family. As for that painting, it's even more nonsense. My daughter bought it because she liked it. Xu Xiaorou didn't buy it first at all."
Wen Yan's words overturned all the rumors that had been circulating before. Her words were well-reasoned and there was nothing wrong with them.
Ma Huo couldn't even tell who was right, "Go and ask the Wan family to come over!"
It would take at least half an hour to ask the Wan family to come over. The county magistrate did not even let Wen Yan stand up, but let her kneel down.
Thinking about how the matter first came out of the county magistrate's mansion, I'm afraid that County Magistrate Ma already had a preconceived notion and had a bad impression of her.
Wanjia...
Wen Yan lowered her eyes and knelt upright, showing no sign of guilt or panic.
"What's going on outside!" Ma Huo was drinking tea and taking a break when there was suddenly a commotion outside the yamen.
A clerk outside came to report: "Sir! I don't know who spread the news about... Madam Wan. Now many people from Xiahe Town have come here to watch the fun!"
Ma Huo immediately looked at Wen Yan, who had her eyes downcast, her expression unchanged.
This woman is really brave. She is taking a gamble today. If she fails, she will be ruined.
