Chapter 181 Chu Wanyan stabbed Zhou Xiuwen to death
The smile on Chu Wanyan's lips froze at the corner of her mouth.

Could this old immortal be crazy? It would be a big crime to expose herself and her son!

"Are you serious?" Mr. Cheng asked Zhou's mother.

"Seriously, we saw it with our own eyes. Sir, Chu Wanyan is the murderer. It doesn't matter whether you beat her or kill her. Please let my son go!"

"Nonsense!" Chu Wanyan said in a sharp voice, "This is simply a frame-up. This matter has nothing to do with me!"

She looked at Zhou's mother, her eyes full of resentment.

He obviously made a good promise last night that he would kill him and never admit it, but now he confessed himself so quickly.

Zhou's mother looked at Zhou Xiuwen who was still being beaten with heartache. She already wanted to skin Chu Wanyan and remove her bones. She couldn't care less about what was agreed upon.

"Sir, Chu Wanyan was jealous of Zhu'er for winning Xiuwen's favor. Not only did she beat and scold her, but she also threw her into the well when she fell down by the well. By the way, she also threatened us and let her We must not expose this matter. We had no choice but to hide it for her because we were afraid of her identity as Miss Hou Mansion. We are also victims." Mother Zhou spoke with certainty and poured all the dirty water on Chu Wanyan. .

Master Cheng raised his hand, and the board finally stopped.

"Zhou Xiuwen, I would like to ask you, was what your mother said just now the truth?"

Zhou Xiuwen was lying on the torture bench, with large beads of sweat on his forehead, and his face was as white as a ghost.

"Yes, it's the truth. It's this bitch who kills people, it's none of our business!"

"Zhou Xiuwen!"

Chu Wanyan was filled with hatred. He stood up suddenly and was about to rush towards Zhou Xiuwen. The government officials on the side immediately suppressed him.

"How outrageous, this is above the court!" Mr. Cheng looked at Chu Wanyan angrily, "If you dare to do this again, I will take the stool in your place!"

Chu Wanyan was forced to kneel down again. But now, Zhou's mother and Zhou Xiuwen no longer cared about anything, and clearly explained what happened that day.

Of course, when they threatened Chu Wanyan with Zhu'er's death, Chu Wanyan used his identity as the Hou Mansion to threaten and coerce them, asking them to help conceal it.

Seeing everything being shaken out, Chu Wanyan knelt on the ground sluggishly. She knew that she could no longer tolerate her denial.

"You dare to commit a crime. You killed someone out of jealousy and took human life lightly. Now you still want to make excuses!" Mr. Cheng has been involved in cases for many years and has rich experience. Looking at the people kneeling in the courtroom, he naturally did not believe what Zhou's mother and Zhou Xiuwen said. Chu Wanyan coerced them.

However, it is certain that Chu Wanyan is the murderer.

Chu Huanyan raised her head and looked at Mr. Cheng, then turned her head to look at Zhou's mother and Zhou Xiuwen. When she saw the look in their eyes that wanted her to die immediately, she felt suddenly in a trance.

Why has it become like this?

She is obviously a young lady from the Hou family, she is obviously of high status and pampered, so why is she like this?
Just because she was obsessed with it, she married Zhou Xiuwen!
However, Zhou Xiuwen and the others brought themselves to such a state, why should they not receive retribution?

"Chu Wanyan, I'm asking you whether you plead guilty or not!" The gavel clapped, and Master Cheng's question rang out again.

Chu Wanyan came back to her senses and finally nodded slowly, "I admit it, I admit it."

Zhou Xiuwen and Zhou's mother instantly breathed a sigh of relief.

However, the next moment, Chu Wanyan suddenly looked hard.

"But they are also accomplices, they are the ones who forced me into this situation!"

Hateful voices filled the entire courtroom. Before everyone could recover, Chu Wanyan suddenly stood up, pulled out the wooden hairpin on her head, and threw herself at Zhou Xiuwen!
The court was shocked. When everyone reacted and stepped forward to pull Chu Wanyan away, the hairpin in Chu Wanyan's hand had already been inserted into Zhou Xiuwen's throat and even stabbed him several times. "My son!" Zhou's mother screamed and rushed forward.

Zhou Xiuwen fell to the ground with his eyes wide open, blood pouring from his neck.

"I, I..." He struggled hard and wanted to say something, but his voice was speechless.

Soon, he rolled his eyes and lost his breath.

"Bitch, you dare to kill Xiuwen, I want you to pay with your life!" Mother Zhou screamed and rushed towards Chu Wanyan, but she was quickly pulled away.

Mr. Cheng also didn't expect that Chu Wanyan would kill someone in public in the courtroom, his face darkened.

In the back of the courtroom, Chu Huanyan sat quietly on a chair, listening to the cries and curses in the courtroom, but the hand holding the tea cup did not make any movement.

She knew that Chu Wanyan would definitely die this time.

Soon, Mr. Cheng announced the result of the case in public.

Chu Wanyan was found guilty of murdering Zhu Er. Moreover, the other party's murder in court was a heinous act and he was sentenced to be beheaded immediately after two days.

Zhou Xiuwen and Zhou's mother concealed the truth and disturbed the court. They were equally guilty. However, because Zhou Xiuwen was dead and Zhou's mother was thinking about the pain of losing her son, they no longer pursued the case. They just ordered two government servants to help Zhou Xiuwen's mother send Zhou Xiuwen to prison. go home.

As for Li Dazhu and Wang, they never really thought about reporting the crime from the beginning, they just wanted to extort some money, but then they were chased and brought to the court. Now they are frightened by this scene. Still remembering that he wanted money, he immediately left the court as if he was running away as soon as the court session was over.

Chu Wanyan has been put in jail. The trial is over. Behind the court, Mr. Cheng looked at Chu Huanyan hesitantly.

"Miss Chu, you saw my sister's behavior just now. It's really too bad. I'm afraid..."

It was definitely impossible to escape the death penalty, but the impact of this matter was so bad that he had to report it to his superiors truthfully. In this way, once the matter spread, it would probably damage the reputation of Ning'an Hou Mansion.

"Master Cheng, you don't have to have any worries, just follow the rules." Chu Huanyan said clearly.

"Then over there, His Royal Highness..."

"The Marquis of Ning'an won't mind, and His Royal Highness certainly won't mind."

"That's good, that's good." Mr. Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, but then frowned, "It was true that the Yamen neglected Zhu'er's case before. Now the old case is being retried. If the Yamen is held accountable, if the inquiry In front of Miss Chu, I hope Miss Chu can put in a few kind words for the official."

Who would have thought that the death of a slave could be involved in such a major matter as a murder in court, and the culprit was a young lady from the Hou Mansion.

Fortunately, this case alone should not be able to shake his official position.

Chu Huanyan looked at the other person, taking in all the thoughts of the person in front of her, and smiled softly after a moment.

"Master Cheng is joking, there is no need to retry old cases."

Seeing that the other party looked confused, Chu Huanyan added: "Obviously the Yamen felt that this matter was suspicious, but they couldn't find any evidence for a while, so they pressed it openly and turned to secret investigation. Only now did they get the clues and find out. the truth."

Mr. Cheng's eyes lit up, and the next moment he hurriedly raised his hands and thanked Chu Huanyan: "Miss Chu is exactly what you said. Thank you very much, Miss Chu."

Chu Huanyan nodded slightly, "You don't have to be polite, Mr. Cheng, but there is just one more thing that I hope Mr. Cheng can help with."
