Chapter 172 Public Trial 2
Chapter 172: Public Trial 2
Originally, when Mrs. Du and Meijuan saw Mei Niang who came back from the dead, their hopes were all turned to ashes. Now they listen to Jin Ling in the hall explain what they have done in detail one by one. Mrs. Du and Meijuan no longer defend themselves and wait for Jin Ling's punishment.
Jin Ling looked at Mrs. Du and Meijuan kneeling in the hall and finally became honest. She knew that they had no strength to argue for themselves, so she looked at the crowd and asked sharply, "Do you two know the crime?"
Mrs. Du and Meijuan looked at each other and said a word. Finally, Mrs. Du knelt on the ground and cried bitterly. While crying, she said regretfully, "The city lord is holy, the people's wife is guilty. Master Du's death is also the fault of the people's wife. Mei Niang's death is also the so-called people's husband, but my daughter Meijuan is innocent. Please beg the city owner for kindness. Let go of Meijuan, right? She is still young and ignorant. All this is done by a civilian woman, which has nothing to do with Meijuan.
Mrs. Du began to kowtow for Jin Ling, which was unexpected by Yinlong and others. Mr. Zhang and Mei Niang, who were standing aside, saw Mrs. Du like this. Although they couldn't bear it in their hearts, they thought that they had done so many bad things and turned their hearts and no longer looked at Mrs. Du and Meijuan.
Meijuan was distressed when she saw her mother begging for Jin Ling to save her. She cried and said to Jin Ling, "Lord of the city, please judge clearly. I did all this alone. It has nothing to do with my mother. Please forgive my mother for the sake of my mother's old age, okay? All sins are borne by Meijuan alone.
The act of Mrs. Du and Meijuan fighting against each other made Yinlong and Fengmei a little moved, but if there is a debt, I believe that Jin Ling will be able to judge clearly.
Jin Ling lowered her head and thought for a moment, and patted Tang Mu hard and said, "You two don't argue again. Which one is not the justice that the owner of the city will judge. Since you two worked together to kill Master Du and Miss Mei Niang, neither of you will escape."
"No, no, lord of the city, please forgive Meijuan. Forgive Meijuan for the sake of her young and ignorant." Mrs. Du kowtowed her head for Jin Ling and begged for Jin Ling.
Meijuan pulled Mrs. Du in pain and said, "Mother, how can my daughter's mistake be borne for me? Mother, don't plead for your daughter.
"Meijuan, my poor daughter." Mrs. Du also took Meijuan in her arms sadly, and such a deep picture of mother and daughter was staged in the hall, which made Yinlong and others a little moved.
Mr. Zhang and Mei Niang, who were standing aside, looked at Mrs. Du and Meijuan and were embarrassed. They didn't know whether they should plead for their mother and daughter.
Mrs. Du saw Mei Niang frowning and looking at their mother and daughter sadly. There seemed to be a glimmer of hope in her heart. She let go of Meijuan, knelt down to Mei Niang, grabbed Mei Niang's trouser legs and cried and said, "Mei Niang, please plead for Mei Juan in front of the city owner, for the sake of you and your sister since you grew up together. Can you save your sister? Even if I beg you."
"Mom, what's wrong with you? All this is up to the city owner. Don't do this. Mei Niang pulled Mrs. Du's hand at a loss. To be honest, she didn't want to forgive them so easily. They not only killed her, but also killed her father, but also destroyed Du's house. All of this made Mei Niang unforgivable. If she forgives them like this, how would she explain to her father who died in vain?
As soon as Jin Ling said this, Mrs. Du and Meijuan quickly knelt down in front of Mei Niang and said, "Thank you, Mei Niang, thank you."
Mei Niang stood beside Mr. Zhang, looked at them faintly and nodded, and accepted their gratitude.
Jin Ling said angrily, "Although I promised that Mei Niang would not hurt your lives, the death crime can be avoided, and the criminal obeys the order."
Mrs. Du and Meijuan quickly turned around and knelt in front of the hall and listened to Jin Ling's order: "The lord of the city remembers that you are the relative of Mei Niang girl, and I also remember that Mei Niang girl pleads for you regardless of the past. You can forgive the crime of death. However, you two of you have committed a lot of evil, killing people and killing people. You are deeply guilty. The owner of this city specially judges you. The two left Jinling City immediately, and they were not allowed to step into Jinling City for half a step in their lifetime.
Mrs. Du and Meijuan put their heads on the ground in despair and said in a trembling voice, "The people's wife accepts the punishment of the city owner. Thank you for not killing the city owner."
Jin Ling immediately patted the wood and shouted to the crowd, "This is the end of today's trial. If you have any objection to the judgment of the city owner, please report it as soon as possible."
Which of those people shook their heads and left the hall, and Mrs. Du and Meijuan were also taken out by the two yamen.
Mr. Zhang and Mei Niang looked at Yinlong and others gratefully and said, "Thanks to the help of several people, not only let my Mei Niang come back to me, but also caught the murderers who killed my father-in-law and Mei Niang and let them get punishment."
Silver Dragon said lightly, "Mr. Zhang is too worried. First of all, we are moved by the story of you and Mei Niang, and secondly, we are helping you and also for ourselves."
Jin Ling, who solved an injustice case, was very happy. He said to Yinlong and others, "Since we have solved this injustice case today, we also celebrate it well. Thank Mr. Long and others for their help."
Feng Mei said, "Seeing Mr. Zhang and Mei Niang finally walking together is the greatest reward for us. Is there a better celebration than this?"
Fengmei's words provoked Yinlong, and Jin Ling and others all laughed. Mr. Zhang said, "Zhang keeps his word. Before, Zhang promised several people that as long as he could catch the murderer to avenge Mei Niang, Zhang gave the general family business to everyone. Now several people not only caught the murderer, but also saved my Mei Niang, and now it is also Zhang. It's time to fulfill the promise to several benefactors.
Jin Ling smiled and said, "Mr. Zhang, you're welcome. We are willing to do what we are willing to help you. What else do we need in return? Mr. Zhang, don't be so serious.
"Yes." Feng Yun also said, "We are very comforted to see you so happy together today. What else can we say in return?"
When Mr. Zhang and Mei Niang heard this, they were immediately moved. The two of them were ready to kneel down. The bright-eyed Lan Yu quickly held him and said, "What do you mean by this? Don't be so polite."
"Yes, since you two want to thank us so much, I'll give you a chance." Jin Ling said with a smile.
Mr. Zhang and Mei Niang looked at each other. Mr. Zhang said doubtfully, "Lord of the city, please say that as long as we can do what we can do, it will be up to you."
Jin Ling waved his hand and said, "It's not that serious. Let's hold a celebration banquet in your Zhang Mansion."
When Mr. Zhang and Mei Niang heard this, they laughed and said, "I never thought that the city owner was also a funny and cheerful person?"
Jin Ling waved his hand, and Mr. Zhang continued, "Then how many places do you want to move to the house?"
Jin Ling and others said, "Then it's better to obey than to be respectful." After saying that, the group happily followed Mr. Zhang and Mei Niang to Zhang's house.
