Tongzhuang

The gavel gave a heavy slap, "Han Chun! There are all the witnesses and evidence, what else do you have to say?"

I kept shaking my head, froze and couldn't speak, but I heard a high-pitched cry from outside the hall: "Let me in!"

Turning his head to look, a fat figure pushed away the obstructing yamen servants and rushed to the court in a stumbling manner.I recognize her as Mother Gu, the bustard of Zhanchunlou.Xiao Luan hurriedly followed behind, "Mom!"

"You dog thief! Give me back my daughter—" Before I could react, the nails of my fist fell off, and she hit and scratched frantically, staring at me with hatred, "Give me back my daughter—"

"Presumptuous! Who dares to break into the court?" the county magistrate angrily said.

Xiaoluan hurriedly knelt down: "My lord, calm down! She is Gu's mother in our building. She raised Ruige from a young age. She saw Ruige's sister die tragically, and she wanted to find the murderer. That's why she broke into the court... Your lord, please be angry!"

The madam was still beating me, and the yamen servant and Xiaoluan didn't pull her away.Her face was full of tears, and she scolded as she beat her: "You are so cruel! The silly girl won't listen to scolding her because of you, and it's useless to deduct money from her... You actually killed her... You bastard, Beast! A wolf-hearted thing!"

I was dumbfounded, and despite her beating and scolding, I didn't feel any pain in my body.

"Mom! Stop beating, the county magistrate will uphold justice! Mom!" Xiaoluan desperately tried to dissuade her, but the yamen servants dragged the madam away with great force.She was waving her hands and feet, still cursing.

"Han Chun, you still haven't pleaded guilty!"

My eyes were blurred, my surroundings were shaking, and I still repeated those words: "It wasn't me, I didn't kill people..."

"Still sophistry! Come on, call me!"

Immediately, the boards fell on me one after another.I listened to the sobbing of the madam, and thought of Ruige's tragic death. I couldn't explain it, but I was so sad and angry that my chest was almost cracked.

-------------------------------

When I woke up, I was in the county government jail.

The burning pain in my body brought me back to consciousness.Rigo!The case of Rigo being murdered!My heart shrank, and I clenched my fists... No, I must find out all this!I collected myself and started to think about the whole thing.

Killing her was premeditated.No wonder, after Shaodong's family called me back from the city gate, they went upstairs from the backyard instead of the front door... This is to avoid people's eyes and ears, lest people see him coming up with me.Later, he deliberately got me drunk, put Rui Ge's body on the bed, and put the murder weapon in my hand, creating the illusion that I was drunk and killed...

However, the only thing I can't figure out is: why did he want to kill Rui Ge?Why do you want to kill me?Rui Ge has no grievances or enmity with him, and he is about to marry Mrs. Fu's daughter... Miss Fu is a lady of every family, with both talent and beauty. Would he kill Rui Ge for the sake of sex?I can't figure it out!

I can't even figure out why you want to blame me!what is this?Why?

"Your boy came in too, huh?" There was a strange voice, and I turned my face to see that it was Fang Dongshan, who was imprisoned in the cell diagonally opposite to me. "Oh, I didn't expect it. You look honest and have the guts to kill people. You are kind enough. I underestimated you before."

I don't answer.He asked again with a malicious smile: "What? Is it that Xiao □□ has a new love, or you can't wait? I thought you were so sympathetic to you, but in your bones, you just want to sleep with others... Hehe..."

I was so angry that I slammed my fist on the iron railing! "Shut up!"

"Yo, can't you tell? What? Want to fight? Come on—"

I stared at him bitterly.I can't wait to tear his ugly smile apart.This bastard bullied Rui Ge again and again, and now that Rui Ge is gone, he still utters insulting words!I wish I could kill him!

"Hmph, do you really want to do something? Come and kill me if you have the guts!" He laughed arrogantly!

I stared at him, feeling a chill in my heart—yes, I can’t do anything, I’m too useless... I couldn’t protect her when Rui Ge was alive, and I couldn’t avenge her after Rui Ge died... I really Useless!

Han Chun, she is really unlucky to know you!She cares about you in everything, just like your relatives, but you can't speak while watching her die tragically!

yeah... i'm sorry for her...

Thinking of my elder brother and shopkeeper who also cared about me before, I shivered suddenly, and a chill ran up my spine.I also regard them as relatives, but they want to put me to death...

For a moment, my heart was as cold as ice.

Because I was a repeat murderer, the county government quickly transferred me to the state jail.When the two cell heads were locked, they were still muttering: "That's the kid? Isn't he a capable person who wants to borrow money from Tongzhuang?"

"Isn't it? My uncle admired him so much that he even made a special trip to the Zhongyi Building to meet him! Who would have thought that he would become a murderer in the blink of an eye!"

"I heard that the famous prostitutes are raped and then killed. It's cruel enough."

"So, this man is not to be judged by his appearance! You see, he is honest, he is definitely a villain! Remember the case three years ago? That old man, who is usually honest and honest, even persuades people to do good deeds. Who would want him to use an ax with his own hands? Killed a family of five! Hmph, we've seen quite a few of these hypocrites!"

"That's right, the case of this famous prostitute has caused a sensation in Yingzhou City. The governor attaches great importance to it. We two brothers must take care of it..."

After being transferred to prison, Lord Inspector interrogated me twice again, but I did not confess.He was annoyed at my recalcitrance and said, "Even if you refuse to confess, there are all witnesses and material evidence to prove your crime. When Benzhou reports to the Ministry of Penalties and Zhu approves it, you can still be convicted!"

Every time I close my eyes, Rigo's eyes, which were still open until the death, come to my face.I can't sit still, I want to find evidence to point out the real culprit, give Rui Ge justice, and clear up my grievances!

But so far, I haven't even figured out the reason of the whole thing, so I went to prison in a daze, and became a scapegoat.I can not be reconciled!

...How do I get out?I looked around and saw that the prison in the state capital was as strict as a copper wall and an iron wall. The cell boss was always walking around, and I was also wearing heavy steel shackles on my hands and feet.It was a dream to escape.

Day after day passed, and the governor did not interrogate me again. Suddenly, one day, the prison chief said to me: "Han Chun, someone is here to see you."

I looked up slowly.Someone actually came to see me, who?

"Mr. Han." The person who came down from the stairs was Xiaoluan, carrying a basket in his hand.

She looked at the two prison guards, handed them a piece of silver, and said with a smile, "Thank you for your hard work, you two brothers."

"Hurry up!" The prison chief took the money, went out and closed the door.

"Miss Xiaoluan, why do you..."

Xiaoluan came to the iron fence and sighed. "Mr. Han, the last time my mother went to court to make trouble, don't blame her... She is not a bad person. Sister Ruige was stubborn since she was a child, and she refused to accept guests even if she died. Let her go. Don't look at her saying nothing about Sister Ruige Good words, but it hurts to be a daughter in my heart... My sister has always been headstrong, and we only thought she would suffer a little bit, but we didn't expect to be hit by such a poisonous hand..."

She said, unable to hold back the tears.

I was filled with grief and indignation, "Miss Xiaoluan—"

"Mr. Han," she wiped her tears and calmed down, "I believe that you did not kill my sister... Although Xiaoluan is a prostitute, she also knows how to know people. Xiaoluan has also seen the character of the son with her own eyes. There must be someone else who killed my sister."

My eyes became hot, overflowing with gratitude, I couldn't utter a word with my mouth open.

"Mom is impulsive and thinks you are the murderer. How offensive, please don't blame her. I brought some food and wound medicine, here." She knelt down, took out the things in the basket, and frowned again, "Forgive me To be blunt, Mr. Han, who did you offend? I asked Shen Lang to take care of it, and it was hard for me to visit..."

"And I heard..." She bit her lips hesitantly, "Your case needs to be concluded quickly, and the execution should be done this year, not until the beginning of spring..."

I was startled, and grabbed the iron railing with all my strength, "It's him! He's going to kill people to cover up the truth!"

"Who?" Xiaoluan looked at me and became excited, "Do you know who is the real murderer?"

"I know!" I gritted my teeth and said every word, "He is none other than the young boss who I consider my eldest brother!" As I said that, I felt another chill in my heart.

"How is it possible?" Xiaoluan lost his voice.

I smiled miserably: "I don't want to believe it...but the truth is this!"

"If it was him, it would be too difficult..." Xiao Luan shook his head, "The Fu Xiangye who became an official is his prospective father-in-law, and the governor-in-law is a former student of Fu Xiangye!"

I eagerly grabbed her hand: "Miss Xiaoluan, Han Chun, I beg you!" I looked at her expectantly, "I don't regret my death, I just wish I could defend Ruige, please find evidence, and in the future, the truth will be brought to justice." The murderer was arrested and brought to justice, Rui Ge and I will be grateful for your kindness in the underground!"

Xiaoluan nodded with tears in her eyes: "I will definitely try my best!"

The prison chief came in and urged: "It's okay, it's okay! Let's go!"

Xiaoluan quickly picked up the basket, took one last look at me, and disappeared outside the door.
