Qinghe Pastoral

"Master Mu, do you think that Wang Hui is the only one I am suing today? No, there is also you. Doting on concubines and destroying wives, taking dowry from dead wives, bad character, and deliberately lying in the court at this moment. What do you have to do with all these things? Become an official in face? You are not worthy of being a husband or a father."

Lin Mu's words were merciless, which was unacceptable to Mu Kang who was used to being flattered and obeyed.In the world, even a son sued his father, how could he say such outrageous words?

"Nizi, what are you talking about? I am your father."

At this time, Mu Kang had lost his manner just now, and seeing his angry appearance, Lin Mu felt extremely happy in his heart.

?? What is the father?You are not a father, you are the biggest accomplice who killed my mother, my brother, and almost killed me.It was you who used the wealth of the Bai family to get promoted every step of the way, but left my mother aside in the cold; it was also you who raised the concubine and became pregnant, and brought this poisonous woman home, so that the three of us, mother and child, will live forever. It's you, the one who threw your younger brother to a mass grave in such a frenzy.Mukang, tell me, isn't your blood shed on him?How could you be so cruel and leave him alone?

A few heart-piercing questions from Lin Mu silenced the entire courtroom. Mu Kang always liked to save face, but he was still his own son when he was exposed and questioned like this. He was so angry that he raised his hand and wanted to hit Lin Mu.

Bai Junyan was startled, and was about to step forward to stop him, but saw Lin Mu firmly grasping Mu Kang's hand that hadn't dropped. He obviously exerted all his strength, his hands were covered with veins, but he didn't budge.There was no emotion in the eyes that looked at Mu Kang, only disgust and resentment.

"In this world, I only recognize my adoptive father as my father, and he is the only one who can beat me. However, he has never been reluctant to beat me. Are you angry? Are you angry? Do you feel shameful? You can still vent, what about my mother? She To whom can she tell her love that was wrongly paid? Who can she tell her grievances to the man she loved so much for her whole life to support the murderer who killed her? You are not stupid. And defend this poisonous woman."

Looking at the immature but tall young man in front of him; looking at his clear and red eyes full of disgust and ridicule; hearing these questioning voices, Mu Kang hangs down his hand weakly.

"No, no, this is slander. Mu Xianchen, you are rebellious. You disobeyed your father and framed your stepmother. Your lord is aware of it. Can some hearsay testimonies be used as evidence?"

Wang Hui saw that Lin Mushi was about to fight to the death, and saw that Mukang had lost his aura just now. Finally, she was a little flustered, but she kept arguing.

"Do you want evidence?"

A voice that overwhelmed Wang Hui's sophistry and crying came from outside the hall, and after a while, Ji Ruixiu came escorting a middle-aged man.

This man was in his forties, tall and slender, with regular eyebrows, and he should have been dignified when he was young.

"Wang Gui, it's him, he is Wang Gui, my lord has noticed clearly, this is the doctor who raised my young lady back then."

Nanny Zhou couldn't hide her excitement, she would never forget this face in her whole life.

Wang Hui saw Wang Gui, who was escorted by Ji Ruixiu, was unstable and almost fell to his knees.

Ji Ruixiu pushed hard, and Wang Gui fell to his knees.

"My lord, this is the most important accomplice and witness in the case. Please be careful and give justice to my biological mother and younger brother."

"Quiet, this official has his own justice, who is under the hall?"

"Grass people, grass people Wang Gui."

"Wang Gui, Mu Xianchen, the second son of the Mu family, is suing you and Wang Ran for framing his biological mother, Mrs. Bai, causing Mrs. Bai to die in childbirth. Can you plead guilty?"

"Caomin, Caomin was persecuted by the Wang family, please be careful."

"Oh? Tell me, how did she force you?"

"The Caomin ancestors practiced medicine for generations. Later, their family fortunes fell and they were squeezed everywhere in Huazhou. The Caomin were unwilling to be so mediocre, so they went to Dongzhou from Huazhou, and saw the notice of the Mu family inviting famous doctors, so they went to try it. Because she saved the Mu family's son, she was left behind in Mu's house. Wang Hui treated her more favorably on the grounds that she was from the same village. The people take care of the left and right. Wang Hui wooed the grass people overtly and secretly several times. The grass people knew what he meant, but because of the benevolence of the doctors, they ignored it. Who knows, one day Wang Hui gave the grass people an aphrodisiac in the wine, and the grass people and Wang Hui went together To make things worse, she threatened the relatives of Cao Min's family, Cao Min had no choice but to become her accomplice."

Until now, Mu Kang really fell into an ice cellar.

"No, no, that's not the case. It's obvious that Mu Xianchen bribed me to harm me. Wang Gui, you were in the house in the early years, and I treated you well. Why did you frame me?"'

In the face of such ironclad evidence, Wang Dong was still quibbling. Lin Mu looked coldly at her agitated appearance, but she was just a grasshopper after autumn, and it would not be long to jump around.

"Caomin is a doctor. He was coerced by others to do such an outrageous thing. Over the years, he has always regretted and blamed himself. Everything Caomin said is true. Please learn from me."

"Why did you kill me? How much did they pay you?"

Seeing that Wang Huiyan was about to come over and beat Wang Gui, several yamen servants rushed forward and suppressed Wang Hui who was yelling endlessly.

"Crack" the gavel gave another slap.

"This is a court, how can you be so troublesome? Wang Bian, the evidence is convincing, do you still want to quibble?"

??No, I didn't, it was them, they united to frame me, it was Mu Xianchen who coveted the Mu family's property, so he wanted to get rid of me, sir, you can't be deceived, you can't. "

"Just a joke, how much of the Mu family's property is left after excluding the Bai family's dowry? Mu'er is the son of the Mu family's original spouse. Does he need to fight for the Mu family's property?"

Ji Ruixiu's words are enough to refute Wang Hui's untenable remarks, and these, as a judge, are clear in his heart.

"Wang Hui, I want to ask you, what is the reason why Mother Wang, Yunxiu, and Ruying, who have been serving you closely for several years, all died overnight? I don't need to ask more questions, do you? There is no excuse anymore."

No, no, no. . . . . .

Facing the irrefutable evidence, Wang Hui could not utter other sophistry except instinctive denial.

"Why are you doing this? Am I treating you badly?"

Although Mu Kang was greatly shocked, he really didn't understand in his heart, so he finally asked the question out.

"You ask me why? Mu Kang, you actually ask me why? Hahaha, everyone in Dongzhou City thinks that I snatched the first wife of the Mu family, but this should be mine. For you, regardless of the objections of my parents, I followed you to Dongzhou, but what about you? You actually married the daughter of the richest man in the Bai family, so grand. I have your child in my womb, but I can only be raised outside and enter the Mufu, just a concubine , my child can only be a bastard, how do you let me bear this tone?"

Faced with Wang Hui's questioning, Mu Kang couldn't say a word.

Previously, Lin Mu and the others really didn't know that Mu Kang and Wang Hui had such a past, and the source of all the grievances and grievances was caused by Mu Kang.The two women may have loved him deeply, but one became a tool for him to climb up, while the other became a demon in hell.But even so, Wang Hui's actions cannot be understood and forgiven.

"Quiet, Mu Xianyuan, the second son of the Mu family, is suing you for poisoning his mother, Bai Junyu, and setting fire to poison Mu Xianchen. Wang Hui, can you admit this crime?"

"I think."

"Jimu Xianchen sued Wang Hui for poisoning his biological mother, Bai Junyu, and arson to poison Mu Xianchen. Prisoner Wang Hui was beheaded at the gate of the city three days later, and her head was hung at the entrance of Caishi for ten days.

%;.

"Thank you, my lord, for taking revenge for my mother."

With the departure of Master Fa Si, Wang Hui and Wang Gui were also pushed down. Ji Ruixiu helped Lin Mu who was kneeling on the ground, and they ignored Mu Kang who was sitting on the ground. Accompanied by the heavy snow, they left The still majestic "Mingfa Hall".

Back at the Bai family, Lin Mu and Ji Fanxiu followed Bai Junyan to the ancestral hall of the Bai family to offer incense to the two old people. After the matter was settled and some matters were settled, they could set off for Qinghe Village.

I am happy today, Mrs. Zhou cooked a table of delicious dishes, and several people also had a couple of drinks.

Uncle and nephew have an idea. "

"Mu'er, tell me."

"I want Mu Kang and Niang to reconcile, take Niang's memorial tablet back from the Mu's ancestral hall, and work with my grandfather and grandmother to find a place with excellent Fengshui to rebuild the tombstone, and then name my brother who died young, and build a memorial tablet , ask the master to do a ritual, and pray that they will have no worries in the next life."

This was a decision that Lin Musi made after a long time. For his mother, the Mu family was a wrong cage, which ruined her life. In the future, he wanted to enshrine his mother from time to time, and the Mu family, after this matter, , he will never set foot again.

"My sister really loved Mukang at the beginning, but Mukang finally betrayed her. It's okay, so we don't have to go back and forth, but will Mukang agree to this?"

"Why should he be ashamed? No matter what, I will take Mother's tablet out of Mu's house."

"Listen to you."

After this incident, several people had a few more drinks, satiated with food and wine, and roasted charcoal fire in the house, the coldness outside had nothing to do with them.

"Today, Wang Gui told me one thing."

"What's the matter?"

"On the west slope fifty miles outside the city, there is a small tomb he built for your brother who died young. Back then, he took advantage of people's unpreparedness and followed the servants of the Mu family to bring your brother's body back from the mass grave. There is a tomb built for him, but there is no tablet. Dongzhou is a place of right and wrong for him, but why he appeared in Dongzhou, he came back every few years to offer incense and repent. He still has a wife and young son at home. Forgive him for his crimes, just please don't embarrass his family."

"really?"

"That's what he said, and there's no reason to lie to us, isn't it? Let's go and find out."

"Then. Let's go now."

Both Lin Mu and Bai Junyan couldn't hide their excitement and shock. If it was true what Wang Gui said, then this child who died young would not be a lonely ghost

Although the heavy snow made it difficult to travel, Bai Junyan set up the carriage as quickly as possible, and the three of them went straight to the place Wang Gui had mentioned.
