New widow

"She is seriously ill..." Su Du's words made the prefect laugh loudly: "Seriously ill? Mr. Su, you have to lie to others, not me. When she came to this city, she was fine. When did she get sick? Of course, after being kidnapped, she went to the Kuang family’s house to recuperate. I don’t know what she saw. She fell ill after she came back. She is ill. Mr. Su, I’m afraid it’s you two adulterers and adulterers who brought her to The one who gave Qi disease may even have poisoned her to death.”

"Sir, you can't say such nonsense." The clerk was so frightened that his hands trembled. If such words were to spread, who knew what kind of turmoil would be caused, but Su Du only looked at the prefect: "Are you crazy, sir?"

If you weren't crazy, how could you say such nonsense? The prefect was furious: "I am not crazy, but you, Su Tongpan, ask yourself, are you doing this for the Kuang family out of fairness or something else?"

"Of course it's because of fairness." Su Du answered quickly, and the prefect sneered again: "Okay, okay, what a fairness!"

"Sir, Master Chu is here to visit." The butler announced at the door, his voice much softer.

Before the magistrate could say anything, Chu Magistrate had already walked in. He heard that Su Du went to stop Su Qiao when he heard that they were going to arrest Su Qiao, so he came in a hurry. When he came in and saw Su Du, Chu Magistrate opened his mouth and said: "Su Tong Judge, that Mr. Kuang was so vicious and sinister that he actually poisoned my wife. There was evidence and physical evidence. What does Su Tong’s decision to stop her at this moment mean?"

Su Du also looked at Magistrate Chu: "Everyone knows whether this matter is right or wrong, so why should Mr. Chu be aggressive?"

"Everyone knows?" Chu Zhixian took a step forward and his voice became cold: "It turns out that there were rumors in the city that you and the widow were not in love. I didn't believe it at first. But now it seems that you and the widow are not in love. That widow is more than innocent."

The only thing they could do was to say that they and Su Qiao were not innocent. Su Du held his hand tightly: "We are officials for Li Shu. Mr. Chu wants to avenge his wife. I understand very well, but why would Mr. Chu create an unjust case?"

"Absurd!" the prefect refuted: "What is an unjust case? There are both witnesses and material evidence."

"If it is really a witness, why don't you let the witness be seen?" Since his face was torn, Su Du simply faced the prefect directly, unwilling to maintain his shaky face any longer.

The magistrate's expression became very ugly, and Magistrate Chu already said: "This is not your question, Su Tongpan, the magistrate has already made a decision on this matter, you should get out of the way, so as not to lose your official position and regret your family. "

"If you can't even be fair and just as an official, what else are you going to do?" Su Du refused to give in. The prefect became extremely angry and shouted for someone to come. Before anyone could answer, he heard drums coming from outside. Voice.

This is when someone beats a drum to cry for grievances. If the three drums sound, the prefect must go out to sit in court. So the prefect's expression changed, and he hurried out to sit in court without saying anything to them.

Only Chu Zhixian and Su Du were left in the study. Chu Zhixian looked at Su Du and said, "This matter has nothing to do with you, so why would you risk your future to protect her?"

"Master Chu, I have something unclear." Su Du said loudly, and the magistrate of Chu looked at him: "What is the matter unclear to me?"

"You and Mrs. Kuang had no contact before, so why did you insist on putting her to death?" Su Du asked, and Chu Zhixian's expression became ugly: "Do you know, do you know..."

"What do I know?" Su Du still stared at Chu Zhixian: "Is he Madam Kuang's father?"

Chu Zhixian's expression turned pale, and then Chu Zhixian said: "Don't make random guesses."

"When you were slandering me just now, why didn't you tell me to stop making random guesses?" Su Du asked back. Chu Zhixian's hand subconsciously clenched the corners of his clothes. Su Du still looked at Chu Zhixian, and neither of them spoke. , the study suddenly fell into an eerie silence.

The prefect hurriedly came outside to sit in the hall, took pictures of the gavel, and asked people to pull up the drummer. When the visitor came to the hall, the prefect looked up and saw that it was a woman. He couldn't help but frown. After all, there was no woman coming. About drumming.

But the prefect still said loudly: "You woman, why are you beating the drum?"

"I want to sue this government!" The person who came was none other than Yu Yulan. She stretched out a finger and pointed at the prefect. The prefect was almost frightened and rolled off his chair, but the prefect still said loudly: "Where are you from? The village woman is talking such nonsense, I will beat her out."

The government officials yelled and were about to step forward to pull Yu Yulan away. Yu Yulan was not afraid at all. She still looked at the magistrate: "Have you forgotten what you did? You want the lives of innocent people, regardless of Have you forgotten all about the reputation of a good girl at this moment?"

When Yu Yulan said this, the prefect understood. He looked at Yu Yulan coldly: "Are you also here for the Kuang family?"

"I came for the people of heaven and earth!" Of course Yu Yulan would not admit it, she just said this loudly, and the magistrate couldn't help but laugh: "I came for the people of heaven and earth, good, good, what a good one. I came for the people of heaven and earth, then I want to hear it, what is your world and human heart?"

"When you serve as an official, you should bring benefits to the country. But since you took office, you only know how to flatter and let the dandy fish and meat village live." As soon as Yu Yulan said these words, the prefect's expression suddenly changed: "Pull her down for me. beat."

Yu Yulan was not afraid of the government officials at all. When she was wandering outside, she had seen too many government officials. So Yu Yulan lifted her shoulders, pushed the government officials away, and walked to the prefect: "Your second The crime is, of course, an unjust imprisonment that requires the life of an innocent person to pay for it.”

The prefect saw Yu Yulan's behavior and knew that she was not an ordinary woman who could be easily intimidated, so the prefect also said coldly: "Evidence?"

"The ticket you issued today is evidence, and every document you write is evidence." Yu Yulan was not afraid at all. The prefect had already picked up the ticket and threw it on the ground: "Since you are so brave, , come to me and talk nonsense, then get a beating so that people know what to say and what not to say."

"I know, you are scared." Yu Yulan still looked at the magistrate. The magistrate's face turned red. What do you mean you are scared? This is what someone like Yu Yulan can say?

"Come here, drag her down and beat her to death!" Just as the prefect finished speaking, drums sounded again outside, and then a government servant ran in: "Sir, he is from the Qiu family. He said he wants to sue. Sue the son-in-law for poisoning his daughter."

The people from the Qiu family, that is, Butler Qiu, came, and the prefect's expression became more and more ugly. What happened today was definitely related to Su Qiao, but it was just arresting a woman. How come they happened one after another and caused such a big commotion.
