Great Lawyer

Chapter 551 Cui Qiao's Difficulty ([-])

"Why didn't you come out of the stall today?" Du Jiuyan stood outside the courtyard gate, looking at Cui Qiao.

Cui Qiao was embarrassed, "My mother-in-law asked me to rest for a few days."

"Has the medicine been delivered?" Du Jiuyan asked.

Cui Qiao nodded, "I ate it last night. Mr. Du, come in and sit for a while, and I'll make you tea."

"I'm going to see your mother-in-law." Du Jiuyan entered Wang's room, and Wang was lying on the bed. Seeing Du Jiuyan, he said, "Mr. Du, you are here. The medicine was delivered yesterday, and there is still Ginseng."

"My wife deserves such a good ginseng."

"Seven or eight taels of silver for a bowl of medicine," Wang wailed loudly, "Mr. Du, your kind old woman will not be able to repay you in this life, and will be your cow and horse in the next life."

Du Jiuyan said: "Don't get excited, take care of it slowly. Only by taking good care of your body can you afford the medicine money."

"As long as you are in good health, life at home will also be better."

If Wang doesn't take medicine, Cui Qiao's family should be able to survive.

"Yes." Mrs. Wang wiped her tears, Du Jiuyan came out after sitting for a while, and sat down in the main room of Cui Qiao's house.

Cui Qiao made tea for her, and said cautiously: "Mr. Du, you drink tea."

"Yeah." Du Jiuyan didn't say much, and drank tea in a leisurely manner. Cui Qiao sat opposite her, with her head down, at a loss, not knowing what to say.

After a while, Du Jiuyan put down the teacup and looked at Cui Qiao, "Does your man have any uncles or brothers?"

"He has a cousin, but his life is not good, he sold his house a few years ago and went outside the city to be a tenant." Cui Qiao said: "Only the uncle of the child knows about the death of the child's father. "

"He also helped in the secret burial."

Cui Qiao's eyes were red, seeing her son running in, she patted his son's head and said nothing.

Du Jiuyan didn't say what was on his lips, put the teacup on his feet and said, "I still have something to do, let's go."

As she said that, she didn't return Cui Qiao's persuasion, and went straight out of Pipa Lane.

"Give me a sugar figurine." Du Jiuyan paid the money, and picked a pig-shaped sugar figurine from Fan Laosi's stall, squatting on the side of the road and eating the candy in a miserable state.

Fan Laosi said: "Mr. Du, are you in a bad mood, are you in trouble?"

"Well, I feel uncomfortable." Du Jiuyan said: "Take a candy and make it sweet."

Fan Laosi smiled and said: "Then you take another one and eat more, and you will feel better."

"I can't eat too much, I feel comfortable, and my teeth are down."

Fan Laosi happily carried the burden and continued to sell things, "Sugar man, sugar man, Du Jiuyan's favorite sugar man!"

Immediately, several children gathered around, wanting to buy the candy figurine that Du Jiuyan ate.

"I really know how to do business." Du Jiuyan sat on the side of the road, eating a candy without any haste. Passers-by saw her and greeted her with a smile. Someone wanted to come up to talk, but was stopped by others. "Don't go, I heard that Mr. Du took over the old case of Dali Temple two years ago, sitting on the side of the road now must be a headache."

"If you go, you will disrupt her thinking."

The person who wanted to come nodded and left quietly.

After eating one candy, Du Jiuyan stood up and patted his clothes. When he turned around, he saw Cui Qiao standing at the entrance of the alley and looking at her, and whispered, "Mr. Du."

"Huh?" Du Jiuyan raised his eyebrows and asked, "What's the matter?"

Cui Qiao knelt down and said: "Mr. Du, I went to the Yamen to surrender, don't be sad, I should have come out to bear it long ago."

As she spoke, she kowtowed, tears streaming down her cheeks.

She thought Du Jiuyan didn't find out and was just helping her out of kindness, but after Du Jiuyan left, she realized... She must know everything, so she came to her house over and over again.

She didn't report to the government and let the people from the government directly arrest her, it was to give her a chance to surrender.

I heard that if you voluntarily surrender to the crime, the elder will be given a lighter sentence when sentencing.

Mr. Du has good intentions, she has to know good people, and she is still lucky.

"Get up and talk." Du Jiuyan pointed to her house and said, "Go to your house and tell me the specific situation."

Sure enough, Du Jiuyan knew everything.She sat in the alley and stuttered the candy man, because she was kind, so she was hurting...

"Mr. Du, you are a good person." Cui Qiao cried.

Du Jiuyan didn't speak.

The two sat down in the main room of Cui Qiao's house, Cui Qiao said: "The dead man is called Hui Tong, a monk in Zhongshan Temple."

"After I became pregnant, I went to the temple to burn incense and fulfill my vows, and he followed me back home. At that time, the child's father had just left, and he...one night, took me..."

Cui Qiao covered her face, "I dare not tell others, I am pregnant with a child, and my mother-in-law is sick again, I am very scared."

"Later, he came to me from time to time. I, I didn't dare to call, and I couldn't beat him." Cui Qiao cried and said, "Just a few days before giving birth, he came again, and I said I'm going to give birth, let him go quickly."

"He still refused to let me go." Cui Qiao said, "I tricked him into the next yard. That yard was empty all the time. I was in that yard. While he wasn't paying attention, I chopped off his head with an axe. .”

"I just want this person to disappear. I feel that I am very dirty. I don't want to keep being dirty. Letting my child be born will also bring shame."

"I was so angry that when he died, I was afraid that others would find out his identity and find me, so I wanted to cut off his head."

"I used a saw and an ax to do it all night, and then put him in the yard to bleed for a day, and threw him into the dry well the next night."

"Then, I took his head with a cloth and dug a pit outside the city and buried it."

Cui Qiao cried loudly while talking, the panic and fear at that time is still vivid in his memory.In the past two years, she has not slept peacefully for a day.

Now after talking to Du Jiuyan, the big rock in his heart seemed to be lifted away, and he felt a little more relaxed.

Next door, Mrs. Wang heard crying and shouted, "Qiaoer, why are you crying?"

Her son also ran over, hugging Cui Qiao, "Mother, why are you crying? Is this uncle bullying you?"

As he spoke, he ran over to look at Du Jiuyan with his head raised, and hit her leg with his small fist, "Don't bully my mother."

"Okay, I won't bully her. You go to coax your mother, and then tell your grandmother that your mother just cried when she talked about sad things." Du Jiuyan said.

The child was innocent, so she went to coax Cui Qiao again, Cui Qiao hugged him and said in a low voice: "Mother is fine, you go and accompany grandma, saying that mother is fine, just talking to Mr. Du about something."

"Oh," the child looked at her and then at Du Jiuyan, and went back.

Cui Qiao wiped away tears and said in a low voice: "Mr. Du, that's how things are. I killed people."

"No." Du Jiuyan looked at her, Cui Qiao stared blankly, "What do you mean?"

Du Jiuyan said: "You endured him for ten months, but killed him before giving birth. It doesn't make sense from your psychology and your body at that time."

"Also, the corpse is so heavy, how did you, a woman with a pot belly, get over it?"

Cui Qiao said: "I, my family has a small cart, and I use the cart to tow the stove."

"Cui Qiao, do you know what crime is murder?" Du Jiuyan said.

Cui Qiao nodded with tears in her eyes, "I know."

"You are dead, what about your mother-in-law and son?" Du Jiuyan asked.

Cui Qiao's face turned pale. What she cared and worried about the most was the old and the young. Once she died, no one would care about the old and the young.

"I, I don't know." Cui Qiao said: "If it happens again, I, I will definitely not do something stupid."

Du Jiuyan asked again: "Is there no one to help you?"

"No, no." Cui Qiao shook her head and begged, "Mr. Du, I did this by myself, and it has nothing to do with others. Really, you believe me."

Du Jiuyan said: "Since I asked you, it means that I already know. Whether you say it yourself or interrogate it is your choice."

"Go to the Yamen, just pretend I don't know about it. If you surrender yourself, you will be treated leniently." Du Jiuyan stood up, and when she turned her head to see Cui Qiao's son standing at the door, she frowned and did not speak.

Cui Qiao stood up suddenly, and shouted: "Mr. Du, let me tell you!"

Du Jiuyan looked at her with his hands behind his back.

"It's Zhu Mao!" Cui Qiao's face was pale and bloodless, and when she spoke, her whole body was trembling, "That day... that day Huitong came to my house to look for me, and my mother-in-law was lying in her room. Huitong leaves, but he refuses."

"After I killed him, I took advantage of the darkness to drag him to the next yard, which is usually empty."

"I chopped off Huitong's head, but his body was too heavy for me to get out."

"Just put it in the yard for a few days, who knows... who knows that Zhu Mao came that day. That yard belongs to him. I beg him not to tell, and kowtow to him."

"Zhu Mao agreed, and helped me at night and threw the body into the dry well."

"I reminded those who were very scared. Sure enough, several children found the body the next day. I thought I couldn't be found, but I didn't expect that there was half a sesame seed cake in Huitong's pocket. I didn't know the half sesame seed cake When did he put it in his pocket."

"Maybe, God thought I was too bad and wanted to punish me on purpose."

Cui Qiao cried.

"After Zhu Mao helped you, has he been in contact with you?" Du Jiuyan asked.

The corpse stayed in the yard for a few days, so there was no blood on the way there, and the half of the sesame seed cake in the deceased's pocket was not bitten by the rats in the well.

Cui Qiao was stunned for a moment, then looked up at Du Jiuyan, "Mr. Du, you really know everything."

"Yes, a few days after I gave birth, he came to me and forced me to go with him..." Cui Qiao said, "I have no choice. I have a mother-in-law, and now I have a son to raise. I don't care about anyone." Dare to say, you can only let him do whatever he wants."

"I wanted to die, but, but I can't even die."

"Mr. Du, I'm so tired, my life is meaningless."

Du Jiuyan didn't speak. After a while, she said, "Go to Dali Temple and surrender. The situation of your family... what are your plans?"

"I, I don't know." Cui Qiao said: "Look, can you send my little treasure to the temple. Little treasure is a child given to me by Guanyin Bodhisattva, so I should let him serve in front of the Bodhisattva. "

Du Jiuyan said: "It's also a way. But let's get through these few months first. When your mother-in-law recovers, maybe she can raise Xiaobao."

"Thank you, Mr. Du." Cui Qiao knelt down and kowtowed to Du Jiuyan, "Thank you, Mr. Du."

Du Jiuyan didn't speak.
