Chapter 19 Mother-in-law, who do you want to perform an autopsy?
It's very noisy outside.
In the room, Mrs. Li opened the box containing ginseng, broke off a thick ginseng beard and handed it to Su Yunniang: "Good boy, chew it and swallow it slowly. This thing is the best for replenishing qi."
Su Yunniang took it and stuffed it into her mouth, chewing hard.
Mrs. Li sat next to her and whispered softly: "Don't be afraid of this. The old Tang family guesses that you are dead so you dare to make such a fuss. You should stay stable in the house and tell the county magistrate when the time comes."
, naturally someone will make the decision for you."
"Yeah!" Su Yunniang nodded fiercely, chewing the ginseng beard with much more force.
Mrs. Li couldn't help but raised her hand and ran it along Yun Niang's messy hair. The child's face was pale, and bruises could still be seen on her neck. She asked tentatively: "Do your husband's family beat you?"
Su Yunniang had tears in her eyes and nodded.
"Okay! Okay!" Old Madam Li knew it was not a good thing just by looking at Tang Ma's behavior, but when she saw Yun Niang admitting to being beaten, her heart was still so painful that she clenched her heart.
My own mother-in-law didn't say anything about being beaten, just because she was afraid that it would delay her brother's future and risk her life. If it weren't for her, she wouldn't have fallen ill.
Therefore, when I see Yun Niang in front of me, I become like my precious mother.
Su Yunniang took a deep breath: "I know, now is not the time to show up."
There was no one else in the room, so Su Yunniang brought the porridge and eggs beside her and ate them one bite at a time.
The more this happened, the more distressed Mrs. Li felt.
There was suddenly no movement outside. Mrs. Li stretched out her hand to press Su Yunniang's hand: "My child, the county magistrate is here. If you have a grudge, you can retaliate. If you have a grudge, take revenge."
Su Yunniang suddenly raised her head and looked at Mrs. Li: "You are..."
"Yes, I am the county magistrate's mother." Mrs. Li took the porridge bowl and put it aside. She stretched out her hand to support Su Yunniang: "Can you go to the ground?"
Su Yunniang has a strong temper. At this juncture, how can she not get off the ground? She took a deep breath and sat up.
Chen Yu kicked in and out of the door, quickly came over and took a piece of cloth with blue background and white flowers to wrap Su Yunniang's head.
Mrs. Li and Chen Yu helped Su Yunniang to the inside of the door. Chen Yu said, "Don't rush out."
Su Yunniang grabbed Chen Yu's sleeve: "Mom, I didn't do anything wrong."
"Okay!" Chen Yu knew that Yun Niang was afraid that she was not tough enough. She was such a sensible child, but she also didn't know if the original owner was blind. He didn't love so many good children and insisted on doting on the incompetent Su Laosi.
"Old sister, Yun Niang is under your care. We can't bear the cold wind." Chen Yu had to leave her alone at this time, because now she, as a mother, has to speak.
Mrs. Li was heartbroken by Chen Yu's sister's call. She held Yun Niang's hand and said to Chen Yu: "Don't worry."
Chen Yu then went out.
When they arrived outside the door, Chen Yu and his family all knelt on the ground.
Li Sizhong walked in with the yamen servants. People from the Tang family and people from Sujiazhuang gathered around three floors inside and three floors outside. The four brothers of the Su family also came in. Among them, Wu Lang and Liu Lang were both guarded by the yamen servants.
Seeing these things in the yard, Li Sizhong's forehead jumped several times. If the Su brothers hadn't said that Su Yunniang was still alive, this blood-stained scene would have been a murder scene.
Tang Li, Su Yunniang's father-in-law, also followed to the door.
When Tang Ma saw Tang Li crying, he ran over and said, "Dad, the Su family is unreasonable, look at how badly they beat me."
Tang Li almost didn't recognize her. From the time she came to Ma's family until now, no one has dared to beat her like this. It didn't hurt, but it made Tang Li secretly happy. He lifted his robe and walked up to Li Sizhong.
"Sir, the Su family is really lawless. Not only did this traitor commit murder, but he was also a guest and was beaten so badly. Isn't this the first time a villain complained?"
Li Sizhong has a bad temper, and people with a bad temper are straight-tempered, but a serious person who takes the imperial examination and becomes an official, even though he is a county magistrate, has only reached this point based on his brain. He glanced sideways at Tang Li, neither salty nor indifferent.
He said: "There are really evil people who complain first."
Tang Li choked, feeling that there was something in Li Sizhong's words.
In the yard, Chen Yu, his two daughters-in-law and Fu Niang knelt down on the ground.
Su Sanlang had the reputation of being a scholar and could not kneel when he was an official. Su Erlang knelt behind Chen Yu.
"Sir, the mat is evidence, and the bloody clothes and trousers are evidence. My daughter Yunniang has numerous old and new wounds on her body. The Tang family said that I would let my daughter go home to visit the doctor, but these clothes and trousers are made of the coarsest quality. No matter what,
Everyone has to change into decent clothes when going out, so there is no such thing as visiting a doctor." Chen Yu continued.
"It must be when the sky is bright when I return to my parents' house. There are more than a thousand people in Sujiazhuang. Who saw Yun Niang coming back? If she hadn't left her at the door of my Sujiazhuang in the middle of the night last night, I wouldn't believe that a single person in Sujiazhuang could bear witness.
No." Chen Yu raised her head: "Dear folks and neighbors, our Yun Niang was tortured by the Tang family until she was reduced to a human form. She was beaten until she had a miscarriage. She looked like she was about to die, and she was left in front of my house in the middle of the night. If any of the folks
If you heard something or saw something last night, please give Yun Niang a personal witness."
When Li Sizhong first asked Chen Yu, he believed that the Su family was the culprit, otherwise he would not have directly brought back Lao Wu and Lao Liu. However, if he just made a final decision on this matter without asking the ins and outs, he would not be able to convince everyone with just one opinion.
On the other hand, the most important thing is that his mother came to the Su family in person. Others didn't know what was going on, but Li Sizhong knew full well that his mother must have thought of his sister Baoniang.
There was no flaw in Bao Niang's case. After all, women were always on the verge of death from pregnancy to childbirth, so Bao Niang died quietly, even if he was the county magistrate, there was nothing he could do.
After encountering Su Yunniang, Li Sizhong also had a lot of evil to spread, so he took advantage of the law and brought back several brothers from the Su family. He even took the government servants to the Su family in person to investigate the case.
Chen Yu had physical evidence in hand and wanted to ask for a witness. He also asked people from Sujiazhuang to testify in front of Li Sizhong. This could not be considered aboveboard, so Li Sizhong did not speak out.
Tang Li glanced at Tang Ma. At this time, Tang Li wanted to pretend to be a good person, so Tang Ma had to stand out.
The two couples seemed to have a good understanding of each other. Tang Ma pointed at Chen Yu and said, "Old Qian woman! You are the best at humiliating people. There is a gambler in your family who swallowed up your daughter's betrothal gift and has no dowry. How can you have your own daughter in your heart?"
?Now that he is dead, you still want to blackmail our Tang family?"
Su Laosi, this rotten gambler, is really annoying. All these years, the Su family's friendship has been maintained by Su Erlang outside. Anyone who mentions Su Laosi will spit. Everyone knows that Chen Yu is partial to Su Laosi.
As for withholding her daughter's betrothal gift and not giving her a dowry, Su Yunniang was not the first one. Su Qiaoniang, who married earlier, was also taken away by her husband's family without paying anything. This also made people look down upon Chen Yu.
Seeing the disdainful looks on these people's faces, Mrs. Tang immediately got excited and spat and cursed: "If you ask me, you are seeking wealth and killing people! What kind of evil has my Tang family done? I haven't seen my grandson.
, my daughter-in-law is still dead, and it happens that the county master is here, asking her to do an autopsy. You said there were injuries, do an autopsy!"
Tang Ma jumped so hard that the door was pushed open, and Su Yunniang, with her head wrapped in blue and white calico, came out and asked in a low voice: "Mother-in-law, who do you want to perform an autopsy?"
With just such a sentence, Tang Ma's face changed drastically. He couldn't stand upright and fell to the ground, with cold sweat on his forehead...
