Chapter 115: Sentenced to be executed
Chapter 115: Sentenced to be executed
The third aunt shuddered with fear. Her husband was very popular in the outside world. He was handsome, sweet-mouthed and good at talking. Both adults and children liked him, otherwise she would not have coaxed the child to go with him.
In fact, he was a cruel person at heart. When my aunt came back that year, no one thought of plotting against the mother and daughter, but he was the one who instigated behind the scenes and caused the death of his own sister.
Thinking of this, the third aunt was scared. Her own sister could be killed if she wanted, let alone her. But she was unwilling to shut up, as she also had a temper.
"I advised you not to do such a conscienceless thing back then, but you didn't listen."
The third aunt became more and more angry as she spoke: "But you still don't dare to use the five hundred taels of silver notes. What do you want?"
"You stupid woman, how could I know that they sent me a banknote? This banknote has a source. I'm afraid that as soon as we take it out, the government officials will come to our door."
"We've been living in fear all these years and dare not spend money even if we have it. What's the purpose of this..." my third aunt muttered in a low voice.
"Alright, alright, go put out the lights and go to sleep." Third uncle was too lazy to pay attention to this stupid woman: "Even if the child is found, who would have thought of me? You know, I have always had a good relationship with Mr. Lu. When his child got into trouble, I helped him out a lot."
"Yes, even if I suspect everyone, I would never suspect you. It was me who let the wolf into the house and harmed my child..." Mr. Lu, who was standing outside their door, burst into tears. After so many years, who would have thought that after so many years of searching, this beast in human skin was hiding next to him, and he was even on good terms with him.
Standing next to Mr. Lu were the county magistrate, the legal advisor, the chief constable, and a clerk who was taking notes. Every word the two men had just said was written down and was to be presented in the court.
The county magistrate was very happy. When the lawyer told him about the plan, he was skeptical, and he was also a little reluctant to go there in person.
This case was left over by the previous county magistrate. It had already been suppressed and no one had mentioned it. Now it has been brought up again. If one is not handled properly, one might end up getting into trouble before catching the fox.
Fortunately, he made this trip without hesitation. Now that the case has been solved in his hands, and so brilliantly, he will definitely get an excellent in this year's performance evaluation, which will be of great benefit to his future official career.
As for why we are sure of what they will say tonight, it is thanks to Huang Ye who is crawling on the roof. She secretly shakes some colorless and odorless powder into the room from the roof. People who smell it will become uneasy and panic-stricken. The slightest fear they have at ordinary times will be infinitely magnified, and they will say everything they should and shouldn't say. Even though my third uncle has a strong will, he was affected by the drugs and said a lot. This is enough to convict them.
The bailiffs who had been waiting outside the door broke in after receiving the signal, rushed in, tied up the two men tightly, blocked their mouths, and pushed them out.
When they passed by Mr. Lu, he used all his strength, picked up the crutch and beat his third uncle on the head, crying as he beat him, crying about the unjust death of his wife and children and his own blindness.
The careful Huang Ye discovered that even though there was such a big commotion, no one from the two neighboring families came to check on the situation. Even the two children from his third uncle's family didn't even leave the room. This shows that this selfish and cruel character is hereditary.
the next day.
The news that the only son of Mr. Lu had been killed and the murderer had been taken away by the government spread quickly. People then realized that the murderer was hiding among them, which made them shudder at the thought. Many people were glad that they were not as rich as Mr. Lu's family, so they did not suffer this disaster.
The news from the county town quickly spread back. The third uncle did not deny it (he couldn't deny it because so many people were listening). He confessed the kidnapping and murder, and took the county government officials to the cave and brought back the child's body. It is said that Mr. Lu fainted when he saw the body.
The case of my third uncle and the murder case of my second uncle's son were sentenced very quickly, both of them were sentenced to execution. My third aunt knew about it but did not report it, so I'm afraid she will end up in prison for the rest of her life.
People in the town said that this was the dead aunt coming back to take revenge, otherwise why would it be such a coincidence that so many things happened at once? It shows that the net of heaven is vast and nothing can escape it. People should not do bad things, because God has eyes.
Huang Ye was very pleased that Hongdou's revenge was finally achieved. Seeing Hongdou's relieved look in front of her mother's grave, she was happy for her from the bottom of her heart.
Hongdou promised in front of her mother's grave that when she grew up, she would come back to move her mother's grave so that her mother could be buried together with her father, instead of being alone in this desolate mountain like now.
"Little Hongdou..." Huang Ye drew out her voice. She had been particularly caring and considerate to Hongdou these past few days, and she was almost annoyed with him.
"Miss, can you please speak more carefully?" Hongdou was helpless. She was not that fragile. The young lady was making a big deal out of nothing.
"Okay." Huang Ye was in high spirits: "Let's set off today. How about it? Is there anything you have forgotten or unresolved? Think about it carefully. If not, let's go now."
Huang Ye missed home very much. She missed her grandparents, her father and mother, her two brothers, and everyone in her family. She didn't feel it when something happened, but once this happened, she wished she could grow wings and fly back like the prince.
"Miss, it's almost too dark now." Xiao Zhao reminded her helplessly.
