A Timely Wife

The officers and soldiers standing around quickly held down the child, and the woman looked at Li Ruosong with a look of despair. Being suppressed, Niu San's face flashed a smug look, Li Ruosong squinted his eyes, knowing what he knew.

"Stand up and answer, why did you intend to kill Niu San? If you have a grievance, I will make the decision for you." Li Ruosong said to the woman.

The woman's eyes lit up, she thought she would never have a chance to speak again, but she didn't expect Li Ruosong to let her talk, the woman quickly got up from the ground and said: "My lord, my lord, I beg my lord to make decisions for the grass people, my lord, this man , this man named Niu San, the pirates entered the city the day before yesterday, and the grass people hid their little daughter at home. I found it from under the bed, Caomin's youngest daughter was ruined by pirates just like that, she was only eight years old, my lord, this Niu San also took this opportunity to rape Caomin's little daughter, Caomin just watched helplessly The youngest daughter was trampled to death, if Cao Min didn't want to kill him for revenge, Cao Min would have hanged herself already, my lord, my lord, she is only eight years old, only eight years old, my lord."

Li Ruosong was expressionless, but his hands were tightly clenched into fists. He ordered Zhou Ping: "Take Niu San."

Zhou Ping, who had wanted to put Niu San up for a long time, pressed Niu San to the ground with his backhand. Niu San said with a panicked expression: "My lord, she is talking nonsense, she is a crazy woman, my lord!" , you can't believe her crazy words."

Li Ruosong sneered, and reprimanded: "Whether you are a lunatic or not, I can decide for myself. Just answer my question, whether what you just said is what you did?"

Niu San secretly raised his eyes to look at Li Ruosong's expression, and said, "No, of course not."

Li Ruosong asked the woman again: "Is there any evidence for what you just said?"

"Yes, my lord, yes, Aunt Wang, you watched Niu San bring people in, and you helped me bury the little girl. Say something, say something." Sixty's aunt shouted.

The so-called aunt of the Wang family looked at the woman in embarrassment, and then at Niu San, with a hesitant expression on her face. From a conscience point of view, she was naturally willing to testify against Niu San. This Niu San was a rascal in the county. Shengsheng pissed off his parents to death. He couldn't marry a wife when he was too old. He would steal or rob if he had no money to spend. He didn't know how many times he was beaten. He never remembers beating, what happened in the past, what happened in the future, if he didn't think that Niu San's brother was killed by pirates to protect the county people, the county people would have driven Niu San out long ago.

Aunt Wang's family didn't understand Li Ruosong's temperament, so she wasn't sure if she could say that. If Li Ruosong gave Niu San a lighter punishment and released Niu San after he was locked up for a few days, then her own daughters would be in trouble. Who knows if Niu San will do something more irritating, Sister-in-law Liu's little girl is gone, and compared with the dead, the living are naturally more important.

But seeing Sister-in-law Liu's pleading eyes, Aunt Wang couldn't bear to refuse Sister-in-law Liu's request. Since Sister-in-law Liu married into their county and lived next door to her house, she was really kind to neighbors like them. Give them less food and drink. Sister-in-law Liu's husband was killed by pirates on the way back a few years ago. Sister-in-law Liu passed out several times when she heard the news. It's not easy for orphans and widows to survive.

Now the little girl was ruined by Niu San and the pirates, and she is still dead. Aunt Wang thinks that if she doesn't tell the truth, the little girl will think of her underground, but think about her own little girls , Aunt Wang was a little afraid to speak.

Li Ruosong saw Aunt Wang's expression and knew what she was worried about. He told Zhou Ping, "Read."

Zhou Ping understood, took out a piece of paper from his arms, and read aloud: "The ten-kill order of the soldiers stationed, rape, adultery and looting, there will be no mercy; Anyone with property will be killed without mercy; anyone who leaks secrets will be killed without forgiveness; anyone who accepts bribes will be killed without forgiveness; anyone who delays military aircraft will be killed without forgiveness; Anyone who shakes the morale of the army will be killed without pardon. Everyone present must remember the above ten killing order, and those who violate it will be killed without pardon!"

Li Ruosong said to Aunt Wang after Zhou Ping finished reading the ten-kill order: "I understand what you are worried about. There will be more and more people in the station in the future. I can't guarantee that no one in the station will dare to violate the regulations, but I can assure you that anyone who breaks the regulations will be killed according to the law, especially for such shameless people who not only lead the way for the enemy, deliver traitors to the country, but also help the tyrant to satisfy their own selfish desires. It is not enough to kill such people With the anger of the common people, tell the truth, is this person doing such evil things as the woman said just now? Kill it."

With Li Ruosong's guarantee, Aunt Wang's confidence suddenly became stronger. She said angrily, "My lord, as a witness of the Liu family, this bastard led the pirates. They not only ravaged the little girl, the Liu family The old couple in the next door family were all killed by cattle. At that time, Caomin's family hid in the attic and saw all of them. What he was wearing yesterday was not this dress, but another indigo robe, which was all covered with He thought it was dirty, so he took it off, and put on the current one, I know this clothes, it is the clothes of the son of the next door."

Niu San interrupted Aunt Wang's words and shouted: "Nonsense, nonsense, this dress is mine, mine, what little girl, what kind of old couple, I don't know at all, you are bloody, my lord, the two of them The partners lied to you, my lord, what they said is all false, false."

Li Ruosong scolded: "Shut up, listen to me when I don't ask you to speak, and it's not too late when I ask you, don't think that you can speak freely if you are not in the courtroom, just now you growl I will remember the crime of the court for you first, and I will deal with it after I find out the matter."

Li Ruosong's attitude reassured Aunt Wang's. She became more courageous and talked more. She pointed to Niu San's clothes and said, "My lord, Caomin definitely did not frame him. You can open the collar to see his clothes." , there must be the name of the son of the old couple on it. Their son is a merchant, and the old couple loves their son very much. If adults don’t believe my son’s name, you can tell at a glance whether the old man is lying or not.” Niu San subconsciously turned his head to see if his name was really embroidered on his collar. Niu San was so angry that the people around him looked at him wrongly, so he immediately reacted, he secretly thought it was bad, but he showed an extremely aggrieved expression on his face, and said: "My lord, this dress was picked up by the grass people. Yes, on the street, Caomin's clothes were torn. When they saw this dress, they picked it up and put it on. They just couldn't get used to Caomin, so they charged Caomin with such a crime. Please, my lord. Make the decision for the grassroots.”

Li Ruosong looked at him coldly, and said, "You are quite good at making excuses, Aunt Wang, do you have any other evidence besides this dress?"

Aunt Wang looked at Li Ruosong with some embarrassment, and said, "No, that's all the grass-roots can remember, no matter how much, the grass-roots don't know."

Niu San immediately said proudly: "My lord, listen, she also said that this is the only thing that can be brought up. It is clear that she can't get used to the grass-roots people, so there is no reason to blame them. My lord, the grass-roots parents died when they were young." , the eldest brother died to protect the people in the town, and only the grassroots were left alone. The grasslands have suffered a lot, but no matter how miserable the grasslands are, they have not forgotten their roots. This kind of thing that forgets their ancestors and shameless things can never be done. Please, my lord Mingjian."

Suddenly an old man in the crowd said: "My lord, I have something to report, I wonder if my lord will allow me to say it."

Li Ruosong glanced at it and said, "Just tell me."

"Yes, my lord, the gold collar hanging around Niu San's neck looks very familiar to this old man. It looks like a congratulatory gift from Mr. Zheng and his family when their first son was born. I wonder if my lord will allow this old man to take a look?" the old man said respectfully. asked.

"Okay, I allow you to step forward and have a closer look." Li Ruosong said.

Before the old man stepped forward, Niu San said in a panic: "This collar was given to me by their parents, yes, it was given to me."

The old man paused and said, "Send it to you? When and where?"

Because of the panic in his heart, Niu San didn't look carefully at the old man's expression. If he had looked carefully, he would never have said the following words, and Niu San argued: "Last year, yes, last year, we ate together He gave it to me when I was drinking, yes, yes, yes, I am staying with you, yes, I am staying with you."

The old man asked with a strange expression: "Last year? Staying as a guest? Niu San, are you sure?"

Niu San nodded repeatedly, and said: "Yes, yes, of course I am sure, the other party gave me such a precious gold collar, how could I forget it, such a thing will never be forgotten."

The old man smiled and said: "This old man is over seventy years old. This is the first time I heard someone say that he was drinking with a man who had been dead for more than ten years, and the other party gave him a gold collar."

When Niu San heard this, his face turned pale. The owner of the golden collar is actually dead?

Li Ruosong sneered, and said, "Niu San, what else do you have to say? Why don't you take it seriously? If you make up some nonsense to deal with me, don't blame me for being rude."
