One of them spoke out, while the others also spoke out, basically speaking the ungrateful words of the old lady and her wife. At that moment, the audience in the imperial court was in an uproar, the Master Liu slapped the wood and everyone quietened down, ”One by one, you guys speak of everything that happened back then.”
To restore the truth of what happened that year? This matter really needed a thorough study, but everyone had their own brains. Previously, when someone went to investigate, they already knew the grave consequences of this matter.
However, they had already made everything clear previously. If only one person could say it, then it would save them a lot of trouble.
He stood up and looked at the Master Liu above, ”Reporting to the adults, this commoner is called Fan Xi, and is Village Head from our Min Village. Speaking of which, it should be thirty-five years ago, the two of them said that they went to look for a doctor that year, and they even brought a small child that was not even two years old. Judging from the child's appearance, it seems like he is severely ill, so they said that they are looking for a doctor, and we did not believe them. We just let them live in the Gao family, oh the woman standing behind me.” When Lady Gao heard this, she immediately bowed towards Master Liu and said, ”Yes, milord. At that time, our family did not have much food to eat, so I took out the remaining rice and gave it to them to boil. Because, looking at that child, it was really too pitiful.”
”At that time, it was very coincidental that there really was a very wealthy family in our town. Since we had a very good doctor, I led them over to take a look, but that child's life wasn't very good, and in the end, he didn't survive. After coming back, the two of them were sad, and after that, that child didn't go back to be buried, but was buried on a mountain near our village.”
A man in his fifties stood out from behind the old man and bowed to Master Liu, ”I was the one who helped them bury it at that time.”
The Master Liu nodded, but Wanqing kept having the feeling that what they said was exactly the same as what was said in the TV shows. Wanqing was still thinking if she should say that the two of them stole a child and returned there.
The old man acted as if he had heard Wanqing's thoughts, and continued to speak, ”After burying the child, the two of them planned to leave, but coincidentally, a pair of men and horses suddenly entered our village, and Xiao Budian said that his young mistress wanted to produce a baby, and wanted to borrow a place from us to produce it, and looked for some experienced women to help. At that time, old lady Mu volunteered to help, saying that she had already given birth to three children, and had some experience, so we let her live with us.
”What big thing? Has the child been lost? ” Master Liu asked anxiously.
The old man shook his head, ”Even if the child is lost, at that time, because he just finished giving birth, the mother was a bit tired, so she let the mama by her side look at the child, and then fell asleep in exhaustion. Perhaps it was because those guards didn't think that our village was that dangerous, and there weren't many people watching the child, but I don't know why, in the middle of the night, the guard actually said that the child was missing. He immediately sent everyone to find him, and even sealed our entire village.
After the old man finished speaking, he paused for a while before continuing, ”My lord, this old man is still a bit puzzled. How did the two of them take the child away? ”Those people already spent money to rent the parturient's courtyard, so other than their own people, there's no one else. This is really strange.”
”Hmph. With just these, you want to say that it was the two of us who took him away? On what basis?”
There was no solid evidence at all, so naturally he would not admit it. Old Madam Mu, who had been scared witless, immediately reacted and shouted out loud: ”That's right, you old bastard! You came all the way here to falsely accuse us, you'll definitely die …”
”Shut up! Roar!” ”Shut up! Roar!” Master Liu was annoyed looking at old lady Mu, she was even more annoyed than before.
The bailiff came over and smacked Old Madam Mu's lips a few times, causing her to bleed profusely. She even lost two of her teeth. This was good, not to mention speaking, even opening her mouth was strenuous.
Old Man Mu never thought that Master Liu would be so popular that he would not even give them a chance to speak. He was truly afraid of what would happen to Old Madam Mu, but if he were to accept what happened that year, would he still be able to live?
Suddenly, Old Man Mu thought of what Mu Dahai had done, what his mother-in-law did, it was all an excuse, it was very likely that he found out about it, and took their entire families away with him, leaving with all their money. Thinking about what had happened these past two days, Old Man Mu's heart was filled with hatred, he felt that his son who he cared for so much had actually treated his like this, it was not from a young age, it was just taking advantage of his, it was just making use of his, it was such a pity.
But was this the time to think about it? Seeing that the Old Man Mu still had time to wander, Master Liu snorted coldly and had someone hand over the proof.
”Hmph, it doesn't matter if you don't admit it. The things on top of it are the things you gave to the mama after you stole the person away. There is even the blood that fell from the old lady's hand in a panic.” Hmph, it doesn't matter if you don't admit it or not, the things on top of it are the things you gave to the old lady after you stole the person away.
However, I still want to give you a chance. If you admit this matter to me, I can still lightly punish you.
”Otherwise, I won't be able to avoid a thousand cuts.”
When Old Madam Mu heard the words' a drop of blood that she accidentally dropped ', she was surprised that it still had such a great effect. When she looked back at the bailiff's hand, it was indeed the item that she had replaced while the mama was sleeping.
Her heart was actually in a panic for a moment, and adding this thousand cuts and ten thousand cuts, it made her extremely terrified, so she couldn't care less about Old Man Mu giving her face, and quickly kowtowed towards Master Liu, her mouth creaking as she said, ”My Lord, please spare my life, this old woman knows the wrong, she knows the wrong …”
Old Man Mu had traveled in the Jianghu for many years and still had some experience. He knew that Master Liu had most likely lied to them, but seeing Old Lady Mu's actions, he knew that there was no hope for them.
The Master Liu did not expect Old Madam Mu to be so unbearably frightened, and admitted the matter.
Old Man Mu knelt there in dejection, feeling extremely uncomfortable all over his body.
Old Man Mu who was thinking about something suddenly turned his head towards Wanqing's direction and said with teary eyes, ”Girl, little girl, I'm your grandfather. Are you really so patient to see me being wronged? This is not true. ”
