Chapter 114: Things are getting worse
Huaihua looked at her elder sister and felt more and more unfamiliar with her. She was not like this before. Although she used to be vain, she was kind-hearted and not as calculating as she is now.
Huaihua never said the words that were on her lips. Not long after the two sisters talked, Huaihua walked out of Taohua's room.
Taohua looked at her sister. She was good in everything except her brain. She didn't know how to enjoy wealth and glory. What was the use of having a sincere heart in this world? It was not as real as money to make her live comfortably.
Taohua looked at everything she had now and was very satisfied. It was a million times better than her life in the village before. As expected, if a woman is not ruthless, her position will not be stable.
The governor was drinking the finest West Lake Longjing tea in his study at this moment, when a yamen runner rushed in, shouting. "Sir, something bad has happened. A big incident has happened, and many people have rushed into the yamen, demanding that we give them an explanation."
The governor said: "Whatever you want to say, I will say it."
Yamen runner: "Master, wake up. This is the case of Yun Tao from Shili Village tearing rabbit meat by hand. Have you forgotten it? This case has been going on for several days, and you haven't tried Yun Tao yet. Now the people outside are making a fuss and want to ask for an explanation. You should go out and try this case quickly."
The governor said, "Everyone is at the government office now, right? I'll be there right away. You go outside and appease them first. Don't make a big fuss, or I'll have a headache dealing with it."
After hearing these words, the bailiff left immediately and hurried out.
When the yamen runners saw him coming out, they hurriedly asked what to do.
"My fellow villagers, please stop making trouble. The governor will be out soon."
Just as the prefect came out, the victim who had eaten the dead hand-torn rabbit meat rushed to the prefect like a funeral procession.
"Sir, my family is so miserable. Our surname is Wang. We live in the west of the city. The one who died is my eldest son, Wang Da. Sir, my family is so miserable. We are all working on the construction site. We even live in poverty."
"My name is Wang Fugui. I saw that hand-shredded rabbit meat is very popular in the city recently. Many workers went to buy hand-shredded rabbit meat to eat, saying that it is delicious. The taste is unique. As the head of our small family, I usually can't afford to buy a pound or two of pork. A few days ago, I was cruel enough to spend a lot of money to buy a large hand-shredded rabbit meat, but it cost me a month's salary, which made me very sad. When I got home, my family was shocked to hear that I bought hand-shredded rabbit meat. Even my wife asked me if I was crazy and didn't want to live anymore. How could such expensive hand-shredded rabbit meat be a food that ordinary people like us can afford to eat? She kept telling me that life would be unbearable."
"My Lord, although our life was very difficult and far worse than the lives of you ladies, and we were under a lot of pressure, I still insisted on buying a large hand-torn rabbit head, just so that our family could have a taste of it. Although my family members scolded me for spending money recklessly, they were also very happy."
"Sir Governor, it was my kind act that harmed my eldest son. Who would have thought that before finishing the meal, he secretly ate the hand-torn rabbit meat without our knowledge, and he ate more than half of it. Unexpectedly, my eldest son died at such a young age. Lord Qingtian, you have to make a decision for my son. He hasn't even married yet, and he hasn't left any incense for our Wang family. He died now, and he can't rest in peace."
The prefect finally heard what Wang Fugui had to say.
At this time, Wang Fugui's relatives all started talking at once.
The governor said: "Do you think this is a market? How can I allow you to make a fuss? I already know the whole story of this matter, so you don't need to say anything more."
Wang Fugui: "Your Majesty, you know everything about this matter, why don't you deal with it? My son died so unjustly, what should I do? Look at the boss who sells hand-torn rabbits, he makes a lot of money in our city, a rabbit is only a few dollars. But look at how much the rabbits she made are sold for, it's simply a huge profit, she has such a dark heart, making so much dirty money, doesn't her conscience hurt?"
"I heard that the perfume that came and went was also made by her. Such a rich lady turned out to be evil-hearted. My Lord, such a conscienceless person should be sentenced to death. Avenge my poor eldest son."
Wang Fugui wiped his tears as he spoke.
"My Lord, I want to rid the people of harm."
The governor asked, "Who is in the hall?"
"I am Liu Xiaohua, Yun Tao's mother-in-law. My Lord, I want to sacrifice my relatives for the sake of justice and eliminate the harm to the people."
"Yun Tao is the wife of my third son. My third son went out to work a few days ago and has not returned since. Our two families live separately, but in the same village. Yun Tao opened a workshop in our Shili Village and made a lot of food and sold it in the town or the capital."
"So we know everything she does. Although her rabbits are raised and processed by her eldest brother, as far as I know, some rabbits die during the rabbit breeding period. However, since they are making dirty money by violating their conscience, the dead rabbits are also used to process and make hand-torn rabbit heads."
"Not only that, the hand-torn rabbit meat is also very dirty when it is made. The workers do not wash their hands, do not wear gloves, and even step on it with their feet during the pickling process. Lord Governor, do you think people will not get sick if they eat this kind of thing? If the dead rabbits carry viruses or something, is it possible for people to not die after eating them? This is why not many people died even though so many rabbits were sold. For now, only Wang Fugui's eldest son died."
"Master Governor, my heart is bleeding when I say these words. Yuntao is my third daughter-in-law after all, and I shouldn't report her like this. But I really can't stand what he did. I can't watch a strange man die. This reminds me of my third son who has not returned yet."
After saying this, Old Lady Wang kowtowed three times in front of Wang Fugui.
"Brother Wang, it's really our family who is sorry for you. We really didn't mean it. We didn't want this to happen."
"
