go away!You damned ssrs!

After the whole family was captured, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were also shocked.

This is Aunt Zhao's family.

I didn't expect that this man who only beat his wife at home would have such a majestic-sounding name, and I didn't expect that there would be a murderer in this family.

When he first arrived at the scene, Zhao Ergou didn't know what these officials were going to do to catch him, so he seemed a little timid, but when he saw Jiang Zuimo, his eyes lit up: "Daughter-in-law!" One side is about to rush up.

With Mr. Fu Yin here, these arresters of course dare not eat dry food, and immediately pushed them back: "Be honest!"

Aunt Zhao's family soon settled down.

Zhao Fuyin knew that he had lost too much in front of the Kaifeng Mansion this time, so he was very aggressive during the interrogation. He wanted to show his methods. He used threats and threats of punishment. After a while, the three members of the family confessed .

The murderer was Aunt Zhao, who came to pay the tax with food that day, just in time that Zhao Defu wanted to take advantage of a little boy in the village—yes, even though that guy Zhao Defu has grandchildren, but he still likes it Play with the man's back.

And the little boy who was taken advantage of by him was also quite pitiful. Both his parents died, and he was the only one in the family with two acres of broken land. The food he grew was not enough to support himself, let alone pay taxes.

It is conceivable that this little boy will be embarrassed by Zhao Defu when paying taxes.

If you don't have money, you can use someone to pay it back. This is Zhao Defu's rule for the little boy, but how old is the child?Even in ancient times, when the average life expectancy was short and everyone was in charge of the family early, it was so young that people couldn't bear to say more.

So after a while, the little boy was ready to be humiliated, and Zhao Defu was gearing up to prepare.

In the end, Aunt Zhao interrupted this good event.

Second Aunt Zhao was usually kind-hearted. Seeing this little boy's difficult situation, she would often share half of her meals with him after cooking at home, treating him as half her son.So when seeing this scene, Second Aunt Zhao couldn't bear it at all.

Aunt Zhao first blocked Zhao Defu and let the little boy run away first, and then stopped Zhao Defu herself to prevent him from running away. During the dispute, she accidentally broke Zhao Defu's head with a hoe. Zhao Defu was beaten to death.

It's no wonder that Zhao Defu dismissed everyone in the family in order to take advantage of the little boy, but in the end it gave Aunt Zhao a great opportunity to escape. When she returned home, she didn't forget to bring herself food.

Anyway, Zhao Defu is also dead. During this period of time, no one will collect taxes. If she takes the food back, maybe she can save some money for her son to marry a wife?

After returning, she cleaned the hoe and went to the little boy to tell him not to say anything.The little boy was grateful for Aunt Zhao's kindness, so he remained silent.This group of people from the government is also a bunch of drunks and rice bags. So far, there has only been one round of investigation. The two of them easily got away with it. Until now, they put away all the hoes and solved the case.

So far, the truth about Zhao Defu's murder has come to light.

Mrs. Li, the prefect, directly took Second Aunt Zhao into custody, while her husband and son were still in a daze, not knowing what was about to happen, but it seemed that they would be implicated by their own murderer, and quickly said: "She The person who killed has nothing to do with us, we don't know anything!"

Father of the Zhao family: "I'm going to divorce this poisonous woman now, we have nothing to do with her, don't drag us down!"

On the contrary, the little boy who was rescued by Aunt Zhao ran to Zhao Defu's house after hearing about the incident, just in time to hear the whole process of the interrogation, watching the police go up to arrest Aunt Zhao, he Breaking through the wall of people surrounding him, he threw himself on Second Aunt Zhao: "Don't kill her, don't kill her, she's all for me!"

Aunt Zhao's heart was chilled by her husband and son, but she gradually warmed up by holding this little boy.

Master Li said angrily: "Come here, drag this disturbing person down!"

Aunt Zhao pushed the little boy away when she heard the words, and said, "My lord, this is all done by the woman alone, and has nothing to do with other people. I hope my lord will not implicate others."

Master Li originally wanted to liquidate the others, so he snorted coldly and wanted to say something, but Bai Yutang robbed him of the words.

"Don't worry, it won't happen. A senior official like Mr. Li must understand the principle of not implicating innocent people."

Master Li: "..." He said reluctantly, "Yes, I am not a stupid official."

Jiang Zuimo asked a lot: "What about Zhao, are you sure you want to divorce your wife?"

Zhao's father looked at Jiang Zuimo, and said stubbornly, "No... can't you?"

Jiang Zuimo smiled: "Okay, of course. Mr. Li, I wonder if I can find a pen on the spot and ask him to write a letter of divorce?"

Master Li originally didn't intend to talk to Jiang Zuimo, but after looking at Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang, he reluctantly nodded: "Okay."

Second Aunt Zhao felt that she should be angry, but thinking of her family's reaction just now...

She was indifferent again.

Let's rest if you rest. Anyway, if she kills someone, she will die. Let's talk about what will happen after she dies.

The father of the Zhao family was illiterate, so in the end Bai Yutang helped him draft a letter of divorce. Of course, the content in it was not in favor of the father of the Zhao family. and Li Shu.

If the letter of divorce has any effect on Aunt Zhao, then He Lishu can minimize this effect, and Aunt Zhao will not affect her marriage in the future.

It is the water thrown out by the married daughter. Since the Song Dynasty, the aristocratic family system has collapsed, and the ties between the families are no longer so close. When a woman is married, she is married. Even if Aunt Zhao wants to go back to her mother's house to bury her are difficult.

It is indeed a trouble if no one sacrifices.

Mr. Li still had a little bit of sympathy for Aunt Zhao in his heart, so the way he looked at Jiang Zuimo was a bit wrong.

How much does this man hate this woman? Otherwise, why wouldn't he even leave a place for her to sacrifice?

After Jiang Zuimo put away and left the book, he said to Aunt Zhao: "Auntie, you are free now, and you no longer have to serve your son who is a fool who eats and waits to die and has nothing to do except be a moth, and you don't have to worry about you The husband who dares to do anything except beat his wife is not a man. Of course, you may not appreciate me for this, and you may even hate me, but I still want to congratulate you I was finally able to escape from the sea of ​​suffering.”

Second Aunt Zhao's eyes moved, and she said, "Miss, you are joking, even if a woman can escape the sea of ​​suffering, she must be responsible for her crime of murder..."

At this point, her throat was choked up and she couldn't speak.

The boy who was rescued by her suddenly ran to Aunt Zhao and kowtowed a few times: "Auntie, I have been taken care of by you and I have not been able to repay you. If you don't dislike it, you will be my mother from today onwards. I will give you a retirement pension!"

Second Aunt Zhao was stunned for a moment, the tears that she could hold back completely broke down, and she cried into a ball hugging the little boy.

As for the father of the Zhao family and Zhao Ergou, they were afraid that Aunt Zhao would cause them trouble, so while they were crying, they grabbed the hem of the yamen servant next to him and said, "Is the matter over? It has nothing to do with us, can we go?" gone?"

Zhan Zhao was also very annoying to these two people: "Yes, yes, you can go."

Zhao Ergou was still a little greedy for Jiang Zuimo, so he stretched out his hand to hook her: "Then she..."

Bai Yutang drew his shadow out of its sheath, and put the sharp blade on Zhao Ergou's neck, smiling very beautifully: "Who are you asking?"

Zhao Ergou was so frightened that his pants were wet, and finally it was Zhao's father who dragged him away.

A yamen servant next to him spat out: "This family is really rotten to the root."

Jiang Zuimo didn't think so.

Although Second Aunt Zhao was a little angry, but now it seems that she has to get rid of that family, and it is still possible in the future.

And the child she saved doesn't seem to be a heartless one, so it's really hard to say what will happen in the future.

Besides, even if Second Aunt Zhao killed someone, judging from her description, she didn't kill someone intentionally.

"Master Zhan, shouldn't you be rewarded for your brave actions?"

Zhan Zhao was stunned for a moment, and realized what Jiang Zuimo meant.

Murder is of course a dead end, but legal principles are nothing more than human feelings, and Aunt Zhao is not specifically aimed at killing people. There are also examples in the laws of the Song Dynasty about how a brave person should be sentenced if he kills by mistake.

Zhan Zhao nodded and said, "Master Li will weigh these things. Moreover, Zhao Defu, who oppresses the people, embezzles and bribes people, rapes the people... a man of the people, the crime is heinous, and he deserves to die. Master Li should also punish those who colluded with him. sin?"

Mr. Li, the prefect, was sweating from his forehead: "Yes, yes, I will deal with it fairly, and strive to satisfy Mr. Bao."

Zhan Zhao said: "It's not to satisfy Master Bao, but to satisfy the people under your jurisdiction."

Master Li nodded again and again: "Yes, yes."

Mr. Li's knowledge of current affairs lacked a lot of things for Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang, and after they explained it again, they left Zhaojia Village with Jiang Zuimo.

"Master Li, are you sure you won't kill Second Aunt Zhao directly?" Jiang Zuimo asked curiously.

She has a clear distrust of Mr. Li who obviously allows his subordinates to embezzle, accept bribes and search for the people's anointing.

"Don't worry." Bai Yutang said lazily, "Even if you want to sentence Second Aunt Zhao to death, you need to report to the Ministry of Criminal Justice for approval. Once the case reaches the Ministry of Criminal Justice, he will not let him go."

Jiang Zuimo breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good. But how long will Second Aunt Zhao be sentenced?"

Zhan Zhao: "I don't know, but what I know is that when she gets out of prison in the future, she will definitely not be as dark as before."

Jiang Zuimo thought about it, smiled and nodded.

Bai Yutang: "Should we go directly to Qingzhou from now on?"

Zhan Zhao nodded, "However, it's getting late now, so we'd better go back to Daming Mansion to rest for the night. I can also pass on what happened here to Mr. Bao. We will set off for Qingzhou early tomorrow morning."

Neither Bai Yutang nor Jiang Zuimo had any objections. After returning to the inn, they slept soundly and departed for Qingzhou early the next morning.
