Chapter 1786: The Truth Comes Out Under the Military Stick
When Liu heard the news of her husband's death suddenly, she was completely unable to accept it.
She turned around to leave, but her body tilted and she fainted again.
Everyone rescued her, and tears rolled down her cheeks before she could even say a word.
As a couple for so many years, they have always had a deep relationship and have long become each other's closest people.
They were clearly fine when they parted that day. Her husband clearly said that he would buy her two pounds of pork ribs when she came back, and she also said that she would make him white plump steamed buns.
It was obviously agreed upon.
Why is this the last time we see each other?
Liu couldn't accept it.
I wanted to cry out loudly, but no sound came out. I opened my mouth, but my throat was silent and tears rolled down my cheeks.
It makes people feel uncomfortable.
Mrs. Li gently stroked her back and her eyes turned red.
Yan Ruyu did not stop Liu from crying. Such sad emotions had to be released, otherwise if they were suppressed in her heart, she would get sick.
She cried until she had almost finished, as any further crying would harm her health, so Yan Ruyu asked her maid to make a cup of fruit tea for Liu to drink.
"Liu, please stop being sad and adjust your mood. It is true that you are sad, but it is also true that you want to find out the truth for your husband."
Liu looked at her with tears in her eyes and nodded firmly.
Zhong Bo also realized that he was wrong at this time: "Princess, the quarrel that Cao Min heard that day must have been fake. Someone pretended to be Liu and deliberately misled."
Uncle Zhong regretted it deeply. How could Liu come back to quarrel when she was imprisoned? He did not hear clearly and made a conclusion without seeing the person. It was wrong.
Not only was Liu imprisoned, but she was also wronged. It was really pitiful.
Yan Ruyu looked at Zhao: "Then I have to ask you, why don't you tell me?"
Zhao was trembling and hadn't answered yet, Yan Ruyu had already waved her hand: "Drag her away."
Song Ping was not polite at all. He grabbed one with each hand and dragged them out.
No matter how the two cried and begged for mercy, it was of no avail.
One of them hit with twenty military sticks, and he didn't use his full strength, otherwise the two would have died long ago.
Even so, it was still dangerous. When he was dragged back, he did not enter the hall, but was in the corridor outside the hall, with a strong smell of blood.
But no one around them felt pity for them. They all looked at them with hatred, thinking that they deserved it.
Yan Ruyu asked, "Can you tell me the truth now?"
Zhao hissed in pain, "Princess, I was just obsessed for a while. I just wanted that little piece of land from his family, so I tricked Liu into coming home, and then wrote a letter to scare Sanlang and asked him to pay a ransom. If he can't pay, he will definitely come to us for help, and we will ask him to use the land as collateral."
"But Sanlang's death was an accident. It was beyond our expectations. We didn't expect it either."
Liu gritted her teeth and said, "In all these years, when have you not wanted food? We have never said anything, but you are so greedy... You can even think of such a mean and vicious method."
Zhao said nothing.
Yan Ruyu sneered, "Is that true? Li Sanlang was killed by someone, it was a man-made thing, how can it be an accident? Uncle Zhong heard the sound of women quarreling and mistakenly thought it was Liu, and at that time Liu was already in your vegetable cellar. Do you know who was quarreling?"
Zhao shook her head and said she didn't know.
Yan Ruyu raised her eyebrows and said, "Okay, if you don't want to tell me, then I'll call everyone in your family and see if they know about it."
"Song Ping, send someone to bring her two sons."
"Yes."
Zhao immediately panicked: "Princess, Princess, please understand, this matter has nothing to do with my son. They only came back after Sanlang died."
"It doesn't matter when they come back. Not coming back doesn't mean they don't know."
Yan Ruyu's voice was cold: "This princess and the prince came here together from the capital. We have seen all kinds of people and things along the way. Do you think you can hide these little tricks from this princess? You are wishful thinking."
"Song Ping, bring your men here. If you don't obey, break your legs. Drag him here. If you dare to resist, kill him on the spot!"
"Yes!" Song Ping turned and left.
Everyone was frightened. Ever since arriving in the front hall, Yan Ruyu had always had a gentle smile and a soft attitude. This was the first time she spoke in a stern tone.
They all stood up straight, not daring to breathe loudly.
This is the Prince of Zhennan's Palace. The person in front of you is not a weak woman, but the princess who followed the Prince of Zhennan through all the difficulties and hardships to come to the northwest.
Zhao said in panic: "No, no, Princess, my sons don't know. It's all my fault. They don't know..."
"They don't know. They clearly saw me in the vegetable cellar," Liu said bitterly, "but they didn't say anything."
Yan Ruyu asked Liu: "Were they surprised when they saw you?"
Liu thought for a moment and said, "No, it seems like he came down to see me on purpose."
Zhu shouted, "Don't talk nonsense, Liu. It's me. I want your land. The division of the family property was unfair, and I can't accept it. That's why I came up with this idea."
Mrs. Li cursed, "Bah, your family has a shop, whether you do business yourself or rent it out, it is a stable income. Others only have such a small piece of land, and when the harvest is bad, the harvest will drop sharply."
"You have been asking people for food for the past few years, without doing any work or planting, and you just want it for nothing, and you are still not satisfied."
Zhao gritted her teeth and said, "What does it have to do with you? What do you know?"
"You know, you tell me," Yan Ruyu said.
Zhao pursed her lips again and said nothing.
Yan Ruyu propped her forehead with her hand: "I've never seen such a hard mouth, and it's so hard that it doesn't have any effect at all."
"You are still refusing to give up after talking so hard. Fine, let's see whether you are more stubborn with words or with punishment."
Daxiaoshan was right in front of Li Sanlang's mourning hall, still wearing mourning clothes, like a filial son.
Xiao Shan whispered, "Brother, why do I feel like there are fewer people today?"
"Is there any need to ask? He must have been told to make trouble and wanted to get some reward money."
"Yes, twenty taels is really not a small amount for them."
"Hurry up and finish it. Bury the body so we can get down to business," Dashan whispered. "Have you checked everything?"
"I've checked. Don't worry. Everything is the same as the news we got before. I'll verify it after the funeral."
Dashan nodded: "Then let's talk about it in the evening, let's go and watch it together."
"it is good."
Just as the two of them finished their discussion, they heard a commotion outside. Song Ping came in with his men and without saying a word, they surrounded the mourning hall.
Dashan stood up slowly and looked at him for a few seconds: "Who are you? My uncle's friend?"
Song Ping glanced at the coffin and said, "We are not friends. I just feel sorry for him and I have to seek justice for him."
"What kind of justice?" Xiao Shan said, "The murderer is his wife. She hasn't been found yet. When she is found, it will be natural..."
Song Ping sneered: "Okay, you two, in order to get to the bottom of this matter, you two should come with me."
Dashan looked at Song Ping and saw that he was tall, wearing tight clothes, a belt, and tiger-gripping boots, and his aura was more powerful than that of ordinary yamen runners.
He became alert: "Who are you? If you want us to follow you, you have to tell us clearly, right?"
