Tai Jia

Chapter 11: Being the Tiger's Mate

"I worked in the Nursing Home ten years ago. At that time, the money allocated by the court was not very large. The old people were often hungry and complained." Zhang San covered his face, "Later, the court gave more money. , everyone was overjoyed, always thinking that they could eat a few more pieces of meat and a few more meals. Unexpectedly, the court kindly gave this money, but inadvertently killed them."

"Suddenly one day, I found out that some elderly people I took care of before fell ill for no reason. I wanted to ask the doctor, but was called by Zhang Yuancheng. He...he threatened me with the matter of stealing food from me a few years ago. If I don't If I do something for him, he will report me directly. By then, I will not only lose the job, but also go to prison. I can’t help it... At first I was a little panicked and worried, but as time went by , I became numb, I don’t even know how many lives I have in my hands.”

"How many accomplices are there besides you? Where are the corpses?" He Xihua asked one by one, and Zhang San answered them one by one.

Zhang Yuancheng knew that the situation was over, and he was limp on the ground. Geng Yu also looked ashen and raised his hand.

"It seems that this guy has something to say." He Xihua said calmly, "Let him say it."

Geng Yu smiled wryly, "After my husband returned to his hometown from the army, he got this job in the Nursing Home. He is kind and hardworking, and soon he made a small success. Your lord may also know that in Linhuai County, the nursing home in Taiping Town The Jiyuan can be said to be second to none.”

"Then why do you have greed?"

"Since we got married, we have never had anyone else, and naturally we have no children, so what is the use of asking for so much money?" Geng Yu asked, "Your Excellency will not really think that we are greedy for wealth and status, and do such a crazy thing. Bar?"

"Could it be that you are also being threatened by others?" He Xihua was thoughtful.

Zhang Yuancheng was also unshackled at some point, and said in a muffled voice: "This matter has nothing to do with him, it's all my fault. It's true that I returned home from the army, but I didn't return home with clothes on, but a deserter."

deserter!Regardless of whether Tianqi Xuanqi is quite martial arts, deserters are regarded as the most lowly and humble people, not only sentenced to severe punishment, but also spurned by everyone.

Zhou Jianchang, who also served in the army, was already full of contempt, and the people around him were also whispering.

"Silence!" He Xihua patted the gavel, and asked again, "You are a deserter, but how did you become the prime minister of the nursing home?"

Zhang Yuancheng lowered his head, "I used to join the army in Shuozhou, thousands of miles away from Linhuai, and Yuancheng was originally a small official, so I didn't make a special trip to verify it, so I concealed it..."

"So this person inadvertently knew your identity, and threatened you to kill the old man? Geng Yu, as your wife, is acting as a pawn for you?"

Zhang Yuancheng hastily explained, "Geng Yu just helped me keep an eye on the old man and balance the accounts. He didn't do any evil directly. Please check clearly, my lord."

After saying that, he fell to the ground and kowtowed, and soon his forehead was covered with blood.

"My lord, if we confess the mastermind behind the scenes, will it be considered a crime or a meritorious service?" Geng Yu bargained as he desperately dragged Zhang Yuancheng.

He Xihua looked at him fixedly, "This county can't agree to you, but it will definitely weigh it carefully."

"Okay, the main messenger behind the scenes is..." Before he finished speaking, there was the sound of a sharp arrow piercing through the air, and from nowhere, a cold arrow flew straight towards Geng Yu, until it hit his left chest.

Everyone broke out in a cold sweat, many onlookers screamed, and Zhang Yuancheng even rushed over to live and die with Geng Yu.

Only four are different.

One is Zhou Jianchang, who rushed in the direction of a certain yamen servant very quickly, and even with only one hand, he still fought with him without losing the slightest advantage.

The second one was He Xihua, he was still looking at Geng Yu quietly, still waiting for his confession.

The third one is Sun Xiong. For some reason, he didn't worry about Geng Yu's safety at all, but his eyes wandered over the faces of the bureaucrats, big and small, and suddenly fixed on a certain person, his eyes moved slightly.

The fourth was the person Sun Xiong was staring at, with trembling lips and a paper-like complexion.

Geng Yu's figure swayed slightly, and she fell softly into Zhang Yuancheng's arms, who broke down and cried so hard that the sun and the moon were so dark.

"Silence! Don't roar in the courtroom." He Xihua said coldly.

Geng Yu knelt up straight again, Zhang Lu on the side stepped forward and tore open his skirt, he was wearing a soft armor and a heart mirror on his chest, but he was completely unscathed.

Geng Yu kowtowed to He Xihua, "Thank you sir for not killing me, the person who instructed us to wait is none other than Huang Xian Cheng Huang Yu."

Huang Kai screamed with a pale face: "Slandering the imperial court officials will be beheaded!"

"Shut up!" He Xihua didn't turn his head back, "Come on, push him down together first."

Except for Sun Xiong, many subordinates were extremely surprised, and some even peeked at Mr. Chen's book. After all, he is very selfish, and he often seeks some personal gain for his relatives and friends, and now he is in charge of the nursing home.Therefore, everyone thought that Master Chen must have done it at this time, but they did not expect that it was Huang Xiancheng, who usually looked generous, honest, and quite elder-like.

His scalp was numb from being watched by everyone, Master Chen looked around and stared at him, feeling very depressed.

Seeing that the situation was over, the pawn Zhou Jianchang was holding down hurriedly confessed, "My lord, I will also recruit, and I was also instructed by Huang Xiancheng."

Huang Xiancheng was pressed to the ground, pursed his lips and said nothing.

Sun Xiong frowned, a petty official of the eighth rank had the guts to take hundreds of lives, and he was even more frightened when he was shocked——How many places like Taiping Town are there in the land of Kyushu, and a small town like Huang Kai? How many officials are there?

At this stage, the matter has already involved the court officials, and it may even be involved in a higher level. It is obviously inappropriate to have a trial in court. He Xihua said coldly: "Huang Kai, can you plead guilty to the Taiping Town Nursing Home?"

Huang Kai bowed his head in silence, as if he would rather die than surrender.

He Xihua knew that he couldn't ask anything today, so he didn't care about him anymore, and only said to Zhang Yuancheng, Geng Yu, Zhang San and the others: "Can you plead guilty?"

Everyone knelt on the ground, choked up and lost their voices, "Caomin pleaded guilty."

Zhang Yuancheng raised his eyes, "The grassroots do not ask for forgiveness, but Geng Yu was not the mastermind of this matter, and he did not directly contaminate human life, please forgive me outside the law."

Geng Yu kowtowed, "Rather than living in prison, I would rather die than live in prison. It is better to have a good time. Please grant me death!"

The rest of Zhang San and others were all begging for mercy, and together with the indignant onlookers, there was a lot of quarrel in the hall.

Sun Xiong winked at Zhou Jianchang first, and asked him to stuff a cloth strip into Huang Kai's mouth to prevent him from committing suicide, then walked slowly behind He Xihua, and whispered in his ear: "It's better to decide the case first, my lord. Destroy it?"

He Xihua couldn't help smiling, "I'll be there soon."
