Er Gouzi and Shuan Zhuzhu are hateful people who helped the Wang family rob their son-in-law for money.
But they also died miserably, with their heads chopped off and buried in the soil for many years. Their skin and flesh rotted away, leaving only separated bones, making it impossible to identify each other.
The two families cried so hard that they wished they could pass out, and they kept cursing the Wang family.
The whole city was in an uproar because of this incident.
In the palace, some eunuchs came out to buy things. When they got back, they told their companions to enjoy the fun.
Word spread, and even the concubines heard about it. When talking about it privately, they all pitied the king for his hard life, and did not despise the Wang family for being so cruel.
Occasionally, when the emperor was tired, he would sit down at the concubine's place and listen to a few words. Then he would go back to the imperial study and ask the eunuch in charge.
The chief eunuch knew everything about the palace, so he naturally knew about it, so he explained it to the emperor in detail, which relieved his boredom.
The emperor was actually meddling in his own business, "Wang Bowei was also a bachelor and came from a scholarly family. How could such a scandal happen? His people are openly murdering famous scholars. It is really rampant. Send an order and investigate carefully to give justice to the scholar." "
The chief eunuch quickly accepted the order and sent the young eunuch out of the palace to deliver the order.
At this moment, Third Master Wang was sitting in the back hall of the government office, chatting and drinking tea with Mr. Fu Yin. Although he was chatting and laughing on the surface, he was anxious in his heart.
Last night, there was some business problem in the county next door. He rushed to deal with it, but as soon as he came back, he heard that his cousin had been arrested, his uncle's arrangement back then was exposed, and the reputation of the Wang family was simply crushed under the feet of the people in the city. Crush away.
He was so angry that he came to the government office without even bothering to discuss it with his father, thinking of putting the case down quickly.
But the governor just pretended to be confused and refused to agree.
Mr. Wang's patience ran out. When he put down his tea cup and was about to explain, a young eunuch came to deliver the oral instructions. He quickly knelt down and listened. The more he listened, the paler his face became...
Master Fu Yin borrowed the oral instructions, which gave him even more confidence. He was so good that he no longer did any Tai Chi with Mr. Wang and sent the guests off with a smile, "Third Master Wang, you heard it too. The emperor has issued an order. I must handle the case impartially. I really don't have time to drink with Mr. Third." Tea is here."
Mr. Wang's face turned black, he cupped his hands and left, rushing home to find his father to discuss countermeasures...
Different from the anger of the Wang family, people all over the city heard that the emperor had opened his mouth and wanted to avenge the king. People Everyone is happy.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty!"
"The Emperor has already spoken. This case will definitely be investigated. The king has been out for a while. Whose son is he? After he dies, he will not be able to enter the Wang family, and he will not be able to find his own home. How can he Don't you want to be a lonely ghost?"
"Yes, yes, let's all ask, whose family has lost a son?"
"Yes, ask everyone, just in case you find the right one."
"Whose family is the one outside the Great Wall ? Come here, have you heard of someone who lost their son?"
With the emperor taking the lead, the people paid more and more attention to this case, and even started a craze to help Wang Yuanwai find his family throughout the whole process.
Anyone who has heard of a missing person from a relative or friend, or who has been away for many years without news, should ask more questions.
Some people rushed to Xindu just to confirm whether Wang Yuanwai was the child who had been missing for many years.
Despite the high expectations, Mr. Fu Yin did not keep everyone waiting for too long and continued the trial after two days.
However, there is really nothing to investigate in this case. Wang Zhongdu explained clearly and the bones were found.
Even the big-mouthed Dr. Sun wrote a testimony, proving that Wang Yuanwai's illness had been delayed for more than ten years, leading to his current terminal illness and his short life.
This time, there was a sea of people in front of the government office, dozens of times more than last time. I wished that all the people in the city came.
In the restaurant opposite the government office, the private rooms on the second floor were sold to sky-high prices.
But no one can book the best box.
But this time the guests sitting inside were not Liu Zhiheng and Mrs. Cui, but a distinguished guest!
Soon, all the plaintiffs and defendants from the last trial gathered together again. Only the wives of Er Gouzi and Shuan Zhuzhu came.
It is said that the old man and the old lady are too sick to get up. No one can bear it when the white-haired man is sending the black-haired man...
Wang Yuanwai is wearing an azurite gown, which shows that his figure is getting thinner and his face is still sallow, but I don't know if it is It wasn't for the sake of the children, so he kept his spirits up, but his eyes were a little brighter than last time.
Only Wang Zhong and Wang E were particularly embarrassed.
That's because it's uncomfortable in prison, and they can't bear the hardship!
The food was rotten, rats and cockroaches were running around, and they were peeing in the cage. It was so dirty that they couldn't eat or sleep at all.
Especially Wang E, the officers hated her for being cruel and sent her to a cell with others.
In the past two days, she had been beaten at every turn, without food or water, and had been hiding in a corner.
Therefore, at this moment, Wang E's hair was as messy as a bird's nest, her clothes were dirty, and she was worse than a beggar on the street.
As soon as she entered the hall, she threw herself at Wang Yuanwai's feet and cried miserably, "Master, I was wrong, wuwu, I was afraid that you would leave me and the child when you remembered what happened before, so I didn't dare to treat you. But I didn't want to kill you! Master, please forgive me, okay? For the rest of my life, I will work like a bull to repay you. Please, don't send me back to prison!"
Wang Yuanwai took a step back and refused to answer . .
As soon as Mr. Fu Yin was shocked, the guards immediately came forward and pulled Wang E away, forcing him to kneel on one side.
The witnesses and material evidence were all available, and Mr. Fu Yin read them out loud one by one, so that the people in the hall could hear them clearly.
Finally, Mr. Fu Yin asked: "Wang Xinqiu, you are the biggest sufferer in this case. Tell me, what kind of compensation do you want, whether it is gold, silver or anything else, I will try my best to satisfy you."
Wang Yuanwai stepped forward and said: " Sir, I don't want gold or silver. I only want two children who are awarded to me. They are my blood and cannot continue the incense for my enemies! In addition, I would like to ask your Excellency to interrogate clearly. Wang E or someone in the Wang family must know my name. I think Find your family, recognize your ancestors and return to your clan."
This request was reasonable and reasonable, so Lord Fu Yin nodded, "If you don't tell me, I will ask clearly."
After that, he turned to Wang E, "Wang E, do you know Wang Xinqiu's original name? When your father robbed Wang Xinqiu and married you in the Wang family, since he told you the truth, you must know his name, why don't you recruit him quickly!"
Wang E shook her head desperately, "No, I don't know, I Dad didn't say anything!"
Wang Yuwai gritted his teeth and cursed with red eyes: "Wang E, you are already going to kill me, are you not willing to let me feel at ease before I die?"
Wang E held on tightly. He stood up and said in a low voice, "If you promise not to pursue the case or send me back to prison, I'll tell you."
"Impossible!"
Wang Yuanwai was so angry that his eyesight turned black. He tried his best to hold on and turned to look at the dark people in the hall. , choked with sobs and asked: "Fathers and fellow villagers, take a look, does anyone know whose family I belong to? I don't want to die in my enemy's yard. I want to recognize my ancestors and return to my clan. I want to see my mother before I die. I I want to be buried in my ancestral grave at home, I don't want to be a lonely ghost!"
The originally elegant and elegant Yuanwai Lang was now tortured to the skin and bones. Years of hatred finally came to light, but he still could not recognize his ancestors.
At this moment, I was praying like tears, just to see my family before I died, and everyone who heard it was heartbroken.
The people roared loudly and shouted at the top of their lungs: "Everyone recognizes you, please help the king!"
