Chapter 1172 Aunt Kang who refuses to rest in peace
Under Cao Er's forcible control, several pieces of hibiscus and lotus seed cakes were all stuffed into Kang Wang's mouth.
She was force-fed without water and almost choked Wang Wang to death. After eating, she coughed violently and tried to spit out the hibiscus and lotus seed cake she had eaten.
"Gag her mouth."
Cao Er immediately tore off the rags from his clothes and stuffed them into Kang Wang's mouth, gagging her tightly.
"Woo woo, woo woo..."
Kang Wang was in pain, despair, and resentment, but she couldn't make a sound at all. Even though her old mother and brother were there, no one could save her.
The old lady of the Wang family watched helplessly as her daughter ate the pieces of hibiscus and lotus seed cakes, and she also let out a cry of despair.
"Jing Guo Gong, you are bullying others so much. You are really bullying others too much."
Zhou Chen looked at her coldly: "I used my power to bully others, did I go too far? The old lady really knows how to confuse right and wrong. She conspired to poison the Duke of the dynasty. It would not be an exaggeration to execute her at Ling Chi. I just let her eat a few pieces of hibiscus and lotus seed cakes.
, it’s already very cheap for her.”
Mrs. Wang retorted angrily: "She never thought of poisoning you. She originally..."
"Original what?"
Zhou Chen's question left Mrs. Wang speechless. She couldn't say that she originally wanted to harm Mrs. Sheng.
Although the crime of poisoning Old Mrs. Sheng was not that of poisoning Guogongda, it was almost a capital crime. The most important thing was that if she said that, it would be equivalent to a confession.
Mrs. Wang said in a deep voice: "No matter what the reason is, my daughter is a member of the official family. Even if you are the Duke of the country, you cannot use torture in private to harm the lives of the official family member."
"Cough cough, cough cough..."
Zhou Chen coughed again for a while, and Hua Lan patted his back gently to smoothen his breathing.
"I did capture her and torture her. If you are not satisfied, you can go to the Kaifeng Mansion to complain against me, or you can go to the official family and the Queen Mother to sue me. I would like to see a person who poisoned the Duke of our country.
Is it wrong for my official family members to die or not, and for me to take revenge myself?"
"By the way, when I asked people to investigate her, I found out a lot of secrets. How many lives did she have on her hands?"
Yuan Cai responded very cooperatively: "According to our investigation, Kang Wang's men had five lives lost, and there may be others we have not investigated."
Zhou Chen looked at Mrs. Wang and said, "Did you hear that? Five lives. I don't know how she suppressed these five lives. If these things are exposed, who will be unlucky?"
Mrs. Wang's expression changed suddenly, and so did Wang Shiping and his wife, especially Wang Shiping, who even had cold sweat on his forehead.
He and his mother helped settle the human life lawsuit caused by Kang Wang. If Zhou Chen exposed it, he would definitely be impeached by the official, and his official status would be greatly affected by that time.
It is possible to be dismissed.
Thinking of this, he was even more panicked. What was more panicked than him was his wife.
I saw Aunt Wang saying hurriedly: "Mr. Jing Guo, this has nothing to do with our Wang family. She wants to harm the Duke, which is an unforgivable crime. The Duke can deal with it, but we, the Wang family, don't care. Don't care."
"you……"
Wang Shiping glared at his wife angrily, but she said plausibly: "Officials, you didn't do much to help her before, but now she is offending the Duke of the country. Do you still want to drag the Wang family to be buried with her? After all,
She is just a married daughter, so it’s okay if she doesn’t bring glory to her family. Every time something happens, she asks us to help her deal with the aftermath. We have already helped her enough."
Wang Shiping's angry expression suddenly turned decadent. He didn't understand this, but after all, Kang Wang was his sister and his mother's heart, so even if he was dissatisfied, he had to help every time.
Old Mrs. Wang was so angry at her daughter-in-law's words that she pointed at her and yelled: "Shut up, this is my Wang family's business, it's not your turn to take care of it."
Normally, Aunt Wang would have been too scared to refute, but at this time, when the Wang family and her own glory were at stake, she couldn't care less.
"Mother, I know you have always loved her, but you have to distinguish priorities. Now that she has done such a vicious thing, it is only natural for Duke Jingguo to want to deal with her. Do you still want to do it because of her?
, let the Wang family’s century-old reputation be ruined in one fell swoop?”
"What do you know? If you dare to say one more thing, I will let Ping'er divorce you and get you out of the Wang family." Mrs. Wang yelled angrily.
Perhaps because the words of divorce were too powerful, Aunt Wang really did not dare to speak anymore for a while.
Mrs. Kang Wang also glared at her sister-in-law with vicious eyes. She knew that her sister-in-law had always disliked her, but she was the eldest daughter of the Wang family, and the Wang family was her natal family. If the Wang family did not protect her, how could they expect the even-faced one?
No exposed husband?
"Woooo..."
She struggled violently and made whining sounds, trying to express her emotions.
But suddenly, her expression twisted together and she looked extremely frightened.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
She was trembling all over and twisting wildly. Cao Er took one look and asked the two people controlling her to let go.
Kang Wang, who had just escaped from control, did not bother to remove the cloth stuffed in his mouth, covered his abdomen with both hands, fell to the ground, his body rolled and twisted, his expression was painful, as if he was suffering from severe pain and suffering.
"My daughter, my daughter, what's wrong with you?"
Old Mrs. Wang rushed to Mrs. Kang and Wang, trying to pick her up, but Mrs. Kang almost lost her mind due to the severe pain, and twisted wildly. Instead, she kicked Old Mrs. Wang down, and then continued to cover her up.
Stomach rolling.
"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts me to death..."
Zhou Chen saw this scene and said directly: "Drag her out, don't dirty the floor."
Cao Er and others did not hesitate and immediately dragged Kang Wang outside. Mrs. Wang finally got up and ran over crying again. Wang Shiping and his wife also chased after her, and a group of people all rushed outside.
"Official."
Hualan clenched her hands tightly, and her fingers turned white due to the exertion. She was indeed angry and wanted to kill Kang Wang, but seeing Kang Wang's desperate and embarrassed look with her own eyes, her heart was still a little palpitating.
Zhou Chen looked at her and said calmly: "Madam, you have to remember that people must have a kind heart, but they should not be too kind. It is necessary to be on guard against others. If they don't offend me, I won't offend them. She has the result she has now.
This is her retribution; in fact, by ending her in this way, it would be an advantage for her. The things she did were enough to kill her several times."
Hua Lan whispered: "I don't feel cruel, but I feel a little uncomfortable. After all, she is my biological aunt who is related to me by blood. I really didn't expect that it would turn out like this in the end."
Screams and cries were heard outside.
Zhou Chen's expression was indifferent. To him, this was just a small scene. Any small war he had ever experienced was much scarier than this scene.
"Officer, if we kill her in public like this, my grandmother will definitely not give up."
Hua Lan said with some worry: "Although the Wang family is no longer what it used to be, there is still some lingering trace of my grandfather. Will it cause trouble to you, officer?"
Zhou Chen said coldly: "They are just the official relatives of a first- and sixth-grade official, so it is not a problem. As for your grandmother, haha, even if she really goes to sue, it won't have much impact on me, so don't worry.
"
The sounds outside have not stopped yet, especially the screams of Kang Wang, which are heard one after another, but the sounds are getting weaker and weaker.
The cries of Mrs. Wang and others became louder and louder, their voices full of panic.
Zhou Chen naturally didn't force him to do anything with him.
海庵 Crane uniformly faded pryYoufengjundui┑Mu department Langlu family Meijiang imitation?
He is alive because of his anti-toxic physical skills and Yangzhou's slow internal power to detoxify, and his body's internal and external qualities are far superior to those of ordinary people.
But Kang Wang was different. She was just an ordinary person, so how could she withstand the poison of this large amount of ginkgo bud juice.
After a while, Kang Wang finally couldn't make a sound anymore and was poisoned to death. Blood and various mixtures were vomited all over the floor.
King Kang did not close his eyes until he died. His eyes were wide open, full of resentment, anger and unwillingness...
Mrs. Wang hugged her daughter's body and let out a desperate cry, then glared resentfully at Zhou Chen and Hua Lan in the room.
"Dong Jingguo, my daughter's life has been paid to you. Have you got what you wanted now?"
Zhou Chen said coldly: "Her life is worthless in my eyes, so there is no way I can get what I want. For the sake of our relationship, let's take her body away. Don't get dirty."
The land of our country’s duke.”
The faces of the Wang family all became particularly ugly, but the situation was weaker than others, and they had no way to fight against Zhou Chen, so they had no choice but to humiliate themselves and let their servants come over and take the body of Prince Kang back.
On the contrary, Kang Jin, the son of King Kang, suddenly shouted at Zhou Chen: "Zhou Chen, I will never forget the revenge of my mother's death today, and I will repay you twice as much in the future."
Zhou Chen's eyes suddenly flashed with cold light. He hadn't threatened yet, but Kang Jin actually dared to threaten him in turn. He really didn't know how to live or die.
"Beat him and throw him out."
Zhou Chen would naturally not be polite to people who hated him. Although Kang Jin was just an insignificant person, he still had to take responsibility for what he said.
Cao Er and others could no longer bear it any longer. After hearing Zhou Chen's order, they immediately rushed towards Kang Jin. Kang Jin was so frightened that he wanted to run away, but how could he escape? He was quickly caught and was brutally beaten by the guards.
He was beaten severely and then thrown into the street at the back door of the Duke's Mansion.
Among the group of people, only Sheng Hong and Wang Ruofu were left.
At this time, both the couple were frightened, especially Wang Ruofu, who was so frightened that his whole body became weak. He only had to be supported by Liu's mother to sit on the chair. He lowered his head and did not even dare to look at Zhou Chen.
The scene just happened before her eyes. Her sister was hurt to death and poisoned to death. The screams scared her to the point of losing most of her life.
She never thought that her uncle could be so cruel. Just looking at him scared her to death.
Now that the culprit sister is dead, she is very afraid that Zhou Chen will target her. Seeing that Zhou Chen poisoned his sister, Mrs. Kang, without hesitation, she has no doubt that if Zhou Chen really wants to kill her, her daughter and husband
, no one can save her.
Sheng Hong was so scared that he was sweating all over. The last time he was so scared was a few years ago, when the late emperor kept him in the palace for two days and one night.
At that time, he was anxious and frightened, as well as extremely fearful of the unknown future.
But now, he is more afraid. This is a completely different concept from beating his servant to death. Such a scene of being poisoned to death and painful to death is really too cruel and vicious for him.
"A virtuous, virtuous son-in-law."
Sheng Hong trembled and spoke. When Zhou Chen turned his eyes, he couldn't help but shudder. For the first time, he realized that his uncle was so scary.
"Father-in-law, don't be nervous."
Zhou Chen saw Sheng Hong's nervousness at a glance, so he smiled. But when Sheng Hong saw Zhou Chen's smile, instead of feeling relieved, Sheng Hong became even more nervous.
"I, I'm not nervous, it's just that you, you have dealt with the culprit, that lady, she, she..."
Although he didn't have deep feelings for Wang Ruofu, they had been married for more than 20 years after all. Of course he didn't want to see anything happen to Wang Ruofu, so he begged Zhou Chen for mercy.
Zhou Chen said slowly: "Although my mother-in-law was bewitched, she had evil intentions and wanted to hurt my grandmother. This is an indisputable fact. It's just that due to some strange combination of circumstances, she didn't hurt her. Instead, she
Hurt me."
No matter how scared Wang Ruofu was, she had no choice but to speak when her own safety and life were at stake.
"My lord, my dear uncle, I, I know what I did was wrong, but I really didn't want to kill my mother. I just wanted to make her sick for a few days. I know I was wrong, I really know I was wrong."
Although it was embarrassing to beg for mercy in front of her son-in-law and daughter, at this moment, she could not care so much about saving her life and pleasing her son-in-law.
Hua Lan looked at her mother's pitiful appearance and felt really distressed and angry. Without her mother's evil intentions, how would Aunt Kang have the chance to poison her, let alone her grandmother, and her own officials would not be hurt until now.
Look like this.
So in her heart she wanted her mother to be punished, but she really couldn't bear to let her mother be punished too severely, let alone take her mother's life.
She just hesitated for a moment, and then spoke.
"Guardian, my mother did make a big mistake, but she is my mother after all, can you spare her life?"
Zhou Chen remained silent. He was not prepared to personally take action against Wang Ruofu. He believed that with Sheng Changbai's character, he would handle it well.
Although he was also disgusted by Wang Ruofu's stupidity, he had to admit that she was indeed played by Aunt Kang.
However, although he had never thought about killing Wang Ruofu, he could not let her go so lightly, so he deliberately kept silent and exerted pressure.
Just when the atmosphere was stagnant, suddenly the concierge sent someone to report that someone was visiting. They were Mr. and Mrs. Qi, the Duke of Qi, and the fifth daughter and her wife of the Sheng family.
"Bring them here."
Two waves came in succession. The first wave was expected by Zhou Chen, but the second wave came by coincidence.
Qi Heng supported Minglan, and Wen Yanjing supported Rulan, and they both walked into the hall. They came from the Sheng family and knew that Sheng Hong and his wife had come to the Duke's mansion with the Wang family.
Moreover, they also saw the members of the Wang family leaving at the gate of Duke Jing's residence, so they all knew what happened inside Duke Jing's residence.
Minglan and Rulan were both pregnant, but Rulan was a little older, and it was less than two months before giving birth. She shouldn't have come out at this time, but for her mother, she had to walk with a big belly.
A trip to the Duke of Jingguo's Mansion.
The same is true for Minglan. Although Wang Ruofu is not her biological mother, she is still her nominal aunt and treats her well. Therefore, when it comes to Wang Ruofu's life and safety, she cannot just sit idly by.
After they met with Zhou Chen and Sheng Hong, they started to get into the topic.
"Eldest brother-in-law..."
………………
Two hours later, Sheng Hong and his wife, as well as his other two pairs of daughters and sons-in-law, left the Jingguo Palace together.
When Zhou Chen and Hua Lan were the only two people left, Hua Lan's eyes turned red and she said gratefully, "Master, thank you for bypassing my mother."
Zhou Chen shook his head and said: "Don't be too happy. I just handed over the power to deal with my mother-in-law to your brother Changbai. But you should also know what kind of person Changbai is. Will he bypass my mother-in-law?"
, it’s really hard to say.”
When Hua Lan heard this, her expression suddenly changed. She knew her brother, who had an upright character and could not tolerate sand in his eyes. If he were to deal with her mother, it would not necessarily be a good thing.
"Chang Bai, he probably won't..."
"He may not take my mother-in-law's life, but there will be other punishments that will make my mother-in-law uncomfortable. But if he can save my mother-in-law's life, this should be the result you want most."
Hua Lan was silent, she naturally didn't want anything to happen to her mother.
"Help me back to the room. I'm too tired after sitting there for so long. Starting tomorrow, I'll close the house and thank guests."
"good."
With Hua Lan's help, Zhou Chen returned to the room and lay down. Now, even in his own home, he had to pretend to be seriously injured and confuse the public.
Zhou Chen poisoned his own daughter to death in front of him, which made Mrs. Wang still unable to swallow her breath.
Especially when she recalled her daughter's dead eyes, the anger in her heart surged. So she thought about it for a long time, and finally was unwilling to give in. She ignored the dissuasion of her son and daughter-in-law and decided to give it a try.
A few days later, she put on the fine clothes of Madam Gaoming, went to the palace to see the Queen Mother, and reported Zhou Chen's abuse of lynching and poisoning of officials and their family members.
After hearing what Mrs. Wang said, the Queen Mother frowned, and she even disapproved of it. She didn't want to pay attention to it at all, but she couldn't say it out loud, so she chose a compromise.
"The Duke of Jingguo is an important minister of the front court. He has retired to the harem. I don't care about the matters of the front court. You can go to the officials to complain about this matter, and the officials will definitely uphold justice for you."
