After the system ran, I took off with my family

Lin Shuyue looked at He Yujiao, who was five years older than her, and felt complicated.

In her previous life, girls of her age were still in high school, but He Yujiao was already a wife, and the focus of her life revolved around her husband.

Life is so hard for women in this world. Before getting married, they are not allowed to show their faces in public and they have to learn needlework and be familiar with the rules for women.

After getting married, a woman has to serve her parents-in-law, visit them every morning and evening, take care of her uncle and aunt, and take care of her husband's daily life, and give birth to children for him.

They even have to take in a concubine for their husband and raise a concubine. If they are unlucky, they may meet a man who favors his concubine over his wife.

Thinking of this, Lin Shuyue couldn't help but shudder. Getting married was too scary.

As the sun was setting, Wu Yuanan sobered up. Seeing his wife looking at him and smiling, his face turned slightly red. After saying goodbye to the Lin family, he took his wife back to the county town.

The Lin family sat in the pavilion, enjoying this peaceful moment.

......

In the county court of Wu'an County, Qin Song, dressed in official uniform, sat majestically behind the desk.

"Lin Shugui, Lin Shuhua accused you of premeditated murder of Lin Dahai by adding rat poison to Lin Dahai's medicine, causing Lin Dahai's death. Do you plead guilty?"

Lin Shugui, who was kneeling in the hall, glared at Lin Shuhua with resentment.

"Sir, I was the one who gave the drug, but she instructed me to do so. She was the one who kept whispering in my ear, saying that if it weren't for Grandpa's involvement, Second Uncle wouldn't have disowned me.

Yesterday evening, she came back with a packet of rat poison, saying that there were rats at home and she wanted to use it to kill them.

She even placed the medicine on the kitchen cabinet, so I took the medicine out of my mind."

"Sir, I didn't. I never said that, and I never bought rat poison. Brother, you can't drag me into this just to get away with it."

Lin Shuhua was wearing a plain white dress. She bit her lower lip lightly, tears welled up in her eyes, and there was an expression of disbelief on her face.

"You're lying, if you hadn't been talking about it every day, why would I have thought of this?

If you hadn't brought back a bag of rat poison on purpose, I wouldn't have made a mistake. You vicious woman!" Lin Shugui yelled hysterically.

Lin Shuhua seemed to be frightened by his ferocious face and fell to the side.

"I didn't, brother. How could you do this to me? I gave you money every day, and I accepted being beaten and scolded by you. You are my brother, but what did I do wrong? Why do you want to blame me like this?"

She covered her chest with her hands, frowned slightly, and tears fell in big drops.

The people outside the court pointed at Lin Shugui and whispered.

"This brother has such a bad mind, he wants to drag his sister down with him."

"That's right, let me tell you, they live in the alley next to mine.

I heard that the girl was sold to the Gao family as a maid by her grandfather.

Later, she said that she saved their daughter and begged for mercy, so she was released from slavery, and Madam Gao even rewarded her with a lot of silver."

A person nearby said, "What's the use of giving him silver? After Lin Shugui came out of jail, he went to West Street every few days with the money.

He often asked this girl for money, and would be beaten if she refused. This time, his old man fell ill and spent all the money in the family.

Lin Shugui no longer has money and stops going out. He just stays in his room and sleeps all day, completely ignoring the old man. It's the girl who's busying around. What a miserable life this girl has."

"How do you know so clearly?" The man who spoke first looked at the old woman beside him curiously.

The old woman raised her eyebrows and said proudly: "I live in the same courtyard with them, of course I know everything clearly.

I tell you, this Lin Shugui is really not a human being. I often hear him beating and scolding this girl in the room. He is so mean. "

"So, Lin Shugui must have deliberately dragged his sister into this in order to escape punishment."

Lin Shuhua, who was kneeling on the ground in the court, heard the discussions outside the court, lowered his head and sobbed softly.

Qin Song was still sitting behind the desk with a majestic look on his horse, staring at her with sharp eyes, as if he wanted to see through her.

Lin Shuhua noticed his gaze and clenched the handkerchief in her hand slightly.

"Lin Shuhua, you really didn't buy rat poison?" Qin Song's tone was very cold.

"Sir, I really didn't buy rat poison. There are only a few pharmacies in this city. If you don't believe me, you can send someone to ask in the pharmacy." Lin Shuhua looked aggrieved, and then looked down at the ground.

Qin Song glanced at her and said, "Xu Wen, send someone to several drugstores in the city to ask if anyone bought rat poison yesterday."

"Come here, take these two away and try them another day."

The government stipulates that citizens must register when purchasing rat poison, so it is easy to check whether they have bought it or not.

After the court session, Qin Song returned to the backyard, changed into casual clothes, and took A Feng for a stroll in the alleys where Lin Shugui's family lived.

"Master, what are you looking for?" Ah Feng looked at him puzzled.

Qin Song shook his head and said nothing. He just stood in the alley, not knowing what he was thinking about.

A quarter of an hour later, all the sent-out yamen runners returned.

"Sir, I went to the drugstores in the east of the city and asked around. Three people bought rat poison yesterday. They were all men."

"Sir, I asked the pharmacy in the west of the city, and they all said that they had never seen a girl come to buy rat poison."

"There's nothing here, little one..."

Qin Song lowered his head and thought for a moment, then ordered: “Go to the pharmacy and ask again.

Ask the people who bought rat poison recently if they live in this alley. If so, write down the name and detailed address of the person. "

After the yamen runners left, Ah Feng asked curiously, "Master, do you doubt that what Lin Shugui said is true? Was this rat poison really bought by Lin Shuhua?"

Qin Song nodded: "Lin Shuhua's reaction is so strange. If she is really as filial as the neighbors say,

Why did she only defend herself in court, but not show much anger or sadness about her brother poisoning her grandfather?

Her expression was too fake, too calm, as if she had anticipated what I would ask and felt somewhat fearless. "

"Sir, I have found out that there are only three families in this alley who have bought rat poison recently. The names are all on this paper." The bailiff handed the list to Qin Song breathlessly.

After waiting for a while, the other yamen runners came back. After summarizing the situation, they found that five households in this alley had recently bought rat poison.

Qin Song led the yamen runners to visit the five families. After careful investigation, Qin Song keenly discovered that there was something wrong with the expression of one family.

Under the intimidation of the yamen runners, the family finally told the truth.

The family's surname is Wang. According to old man Wang, he took his grandson to the pastry shop to buy some cakes the day before yesterday.

When passing by the drugstore, he suddenly remembered that his son said there were rats at home, so he went into the drugstore and bought some rat poison.

When he returned to the alley, he saw several old friends sitting at the entrance chatting, so he asked his eight-year-old grandson to take the cakes and rat poison home.

Because the packet of rat poison was small, he was afraid that his grandson would lose it, so he saw that the pastry was tightly wrapped in two layers of oil paper, so he stuffed the rat poison between the two layers of oil paper.
