Chapter 53 The Evil Woman's Life

After Chunlian and her parents were held, they were separated in two places.

After the interrogation of Ren Shaolong, Lord Zhuang brought Chunlian again. Although Chunlian's identity was low, she was not afraid at all. Lord Zhuang asked, "Chunlian, do you know why you are in prison today?"

The Chunlian replied, "This is exactly what Chunlian wants to ask the adults!"

Zhuang Yi sneered and then said, "What a tricky girl! I asked you, but you poisoned your master Tian Qiqian?

"I don't know why Chunlian said this? It is said that adults are clean officials. Don't wrong good people in vain!"

"Good people? I ask you, your monthly money is only 800 yuan, but now you often give dozens of taels of silver to your family several times, which add up to three or four taels. Where did a little girl get so many taels of silver? Is it possible to steal the master's silver?

"Lord, if Chunlian does a good job, she will naturally be rewarded by the old lady. My master is the richest man in Yingtian Mansion, not the Qingshui government office here. Why can't I earn three or four taels of silver?

"What a tidy little girl! Don't be stubborn and see what this is?"

Chunlian looked up and couldn't help but change her face. It turned out that Lord Zhuang ordered someone to show her the disgusting mahogany roots that Ye Zilian took back from Tianfu. But soon Chunlian regained her calm and said, "Your Excellency, what does this mean?"

What does it mean? You should know best that your grandfather Tian Qiqian died because of taking the poisonous water boiled from these disgusting mahogany roots! The evidence is conclusive, how dare you deny it?"

"I don't know what the adult said. I'm just the girl next to my wife, serving my wife's living, and I don't know anything about mahogany."

Lord Zhuang repeatedly bearded and said slowly, "It doesn't matter if you don't admit it. Tianfu's cook has seen you boil the potion for Tian Qiqian with this vomited peach root, and Tian Qiqian died the next day. How could it be like this if this potion is not poisonous?"

"Your Excellency, my grandfather has always been in poor health. When he died on that day, he also came to test the body. If it is poisonous, why can't you find it? Adults, don't listen to slander and frame good people!"

"Hmm! The officer will retrial himself, and if necessary, he will also open the coffin for autopsy again!"

"Then please examine the work and open the coffin to examine the body before interrogating Chunlian."

"What a good-to-do girl! If I didn't have enough evidence, how could I order to arrest someone? You didn't go home to visit your parents until two days later, but why did you rush home today and your family fled? If you are not guilty, how could it be? The boss of Huichuntang has always been a good peach root for selling Ren Shaolong. It was originally Ren Shaolong's vomiting and then with your wife Mao. The two of them wanted to work together to murder Tian Qiqian and seize Tian's property. It had nothing to do with you. Unexpectedly, you were willing to be involved in this murder and acted as a murderer! Your parents gave birth to you and raised you for many years, and you have never been willing to spend a penny for his two elders, all of which are saved for you to get married. I didn't expect you to commit such an unpardonable crime. It's really a vain word for your filial daughter. Or, did your parents know the truth and choose to run away with you when they see the truth?

"No, it's none of their business!" Chunlian regretted when she said this. How did she know that this was Lord Zhuang's trick and hit her weakness.

"How many benefits did Mao promise to give you so that you could kill for her?"

"Your excellency, I..."

"It doesn't matter if you don't want to say it. Ren Shaolong has already confessed that Mao killed Tian Yun, Qiu Shuang and Tian Qiqian, and it is even more difficult to die. If I go to ask them, I will naturally know the truth."

As soon as Chunlian heard that Lord Zhuang had even learned about Mao's killing Qiu Shuang, she lost her confidence. She had to confess that she had unintentionally broke into the lady's room and bumped into her husband's affair with Wang Chengdong. The lady forced her and promised her a lot of silver, so she was willing to be used. Previously, Tian Qikun, the second master, was also designed by his wife. Because the wife couldn't seduce the second master, and she was worried that the second master would hinder her plan to seize the Tian family's property, she found a reason to drive him out of the house. Unexpectedly, it became worse and instructed Qiu Shuang to kill the young master Tian Yun. When Qiu Shuang was forced to die, Chunlian was also present. I still remember that the last sentence before Qiu Shuang hanged was "People are doing it, and the sky is watching!" After Qiu Shuang hanged himself, Wang Chengdong threw his body into the deep mountains and forests overnight. Qiu Shuang had no family, so he only thought that his whereabouts were unknown after leaving the house.

When Mrs. asked Chunlian to send mahogany roots to the kitchen, she did not say that the disgusting mahogany roots inside would kill people. It was not until the cooks raised them again and again that she took it. One day, the lady went to Chunlian again and asked her to cook the disgusting mahogany root and drink it with the master, and promised a hundred taels of gold, which were enough for Chunlian and her parents for several lifetimes. Because his parents have always been frugal and have never lived a good life. Seeing that they are getting old day by day, Chunlian wants him to live a good life, and he also wants to be a peach root. Even if the government investigates it, it only says that it has been released for a long time and the water has vomits, and no one will doubt it, so she is heart to boil the medicine. . Since Lord Zhuang went to the house that day, Chunlian's heart has been beating. Later, when she chatted with the cook, she learned that Lord Zhuang had taken away all the disgusting mahogany roots. Chunlian knew that the big thing was wrong and did not tell her wife. She hurriedly took a leave and went back to pick up her parents and leave the place. As a result, before she had not gone far, she was arrested and grabbed it. So far.

Saying this, Chunlian pleaded, "Your Excellency, Chunlian is wrong. Chunlian is wrong. Chunlian knows that she will die, but Chunlian's parents will never know about this matter. Please be kind and let him go. In addition, I want to see my parents for the last time, please!" With that, Chunlian burst into tears.

After hearing this, Lord Zhuang nodded and left silently.

On the same day, when he sent someone to get Wang Chengdong, he was reported to have committed suicide at home after hearing that Mao and others were arrested.

The next day, Zhuang Yi was raised to the court for trial. In the face of the mountain of hard evidence, Mao collapsed on the ground. Lord Zhuang also asked about the relationship between Mao and Wang Chengdong. It turned out that Wang Chengdong's grandfather had helped the Tian family in those years, so Tian Qiqian was also very good to Wang Chengdong. As a result, Wang Chengdong became familiar with Mao when he went in and out of Tianfu, and helped Mao secretly buried the body of Qiu Shuang, the maid who killed Tian Yun, and inspected the field. When the body was dried, it was falsely reported as a natural death. Zhuang Yi sentenced Shaolong and Chunlian to be executed and sentenced Mao to death. Qiu Shuang, who pushed Tian Yun into the water, had already hanged himself, and Wang Chengdong had also committed suicide. The location of Qiu Shuang's body has also become suspense and will be buried after he is found. Tian Qikun was framed by the Mao family that day and was expelled from the house. After removing his clan name, his reputation has been restored, and all the family wealth in Tianfu is still returned to Tian Qikun. As a result, the murder case of Momokigen has come to an end.
