I don't want to be wronged again

Chapter 51, Chapter 53

Guo Xiu'er secretly wiped off her cold sweat, feeling grateful to Sun Zhangyang and his son.At this time, he covered his face and sobbed: "Just because I dreamed about my dead husband last night, and I missed him so much today, so I sent the girl to buy wine and vegetables to pay homage to the dead. In addition, because of the cold weather, the The guys and uncle worked hard to get Hua'er to buy more wine to drive everyone away from the cold. How could it be evidence that I seduced him? If I want to drink with him, please send someone to check: look at the table How many pairs of cups and chopsticks do you have? I bought rouge because my husband loved the color of the little woman. I wanted to dress up as usual, and then serve my husband’s favorite food and drinks. Will it attract him to dream again? Comfort my lovesickness." As she spoke, she covered her sleeves and began to weep.

Among the crowd watching the trial, many women who had despised her were moved by her, and some of them wiped away their tears.

Gu Guangyi immediately ordered the servants to go to Fan's house to check how many pairs of cups and chopsticks were on the table.In order to seek justice, I went together with several old villagers in the street.

Because Fan's house is not far from the government office, the people who were ordered to check it back came back not long after: "I tell the elder that the food and drink on the table in Fan Guo's room was not used, and the young people saw it very clearly. There is indeed only one pair of cups."

Guo Xiu'er let go of her raised heart, and let out a deep breath, only feeling the cold sweat on her back dripping down her spine.

Fan Erlang jumped up when he heard the words, and shouted hoarsely: "Impossible! Impossible! She even asked me to eat and drink!"

Gu Guangyi slapped the gavel: "Bold! How dare you yell at the court! The facts are all there, how can you justify yourself! Fan Erlang, the three of you, your parents and son, did such insane things in order to embezzle the family wealth! The widow wants more The slander is the widow's sister-in-law who seduced you! You are really disregarding human relations, despicable and shameless! The official pronounced today: Fan Erlang disregarded human relations, raped the widow's wife, cruel means, and should be punished according to the law! This official sentenced you to prison Zhanhou, Qiuhou asks to be cut! Fan Jijia and his wife! As elders, how can you be so biased? Fan Erlang is your blood, so isn’t Fan Dalang’s son not your blood? Such absurd act of catching rape! You almost lost Fan Guo’s innocent life in your hands! I sentenced you to exile for six hundred miles, thinking that you are old and helpless, so you are allowed to accept ransom. May the people under this rule regard Fan’s family as their Precept, father is loving, son is filial, brothers and brothers are respectful."

Everyone in the hall sighed for a while, sighed that the Fans and his sons could not afford to lose a lot of rice by stealing chickens, now they can't help but count them as little widows, and instead counted them as losing Fan Erlang's life.Although Fan's old parents agreed to redeem them, how could anyone pay to redeem them?The little widow wishes they were dead!

Not to mention the three members of the Fan family who were forcibly dragged down by the yamen servants, crying desperately for injustice, and Guo Xiuer, who thanked them tearfully.After the crowd gradually dispersed, Sun Zhangyang walked into the back hall and whispered a few words to Gu Guangyi.

Gu Guangyi was full of surprise, he clenched his hands unconsciously, and asked Han Li, "Are you serious?"

Han Li nodded: "That person indeed said so. Uncle Gu, the cause of Fan Dalang's death is indeed suspicious."

Gu Guangyi nodded and said: "Since that's the case, I need to trouble Brother Runqi to call that Fan Guo family again. Since Fan Dalang handed over his family business to her, I don't know if he can give her the evidence of stealing and selling official food. If so, It's also a strong piece of evidence."

Sun Zhangyang left immediately, and after a while, he caught up with Guo Xiu'er who hadn't arrived home yet.

When Guo Xiuer saw the Sun father and son, she quickly saluted and thanked her, and said with sadness and shame: "Thanks to brother-in-law for saving her, otherwise Xiu'er would have been sunk in the pond by now!"

Sun Zhangyang sighed and said: "You are still young, it's normal to seek the love of men and women, but you have to follow the righteous path, and it will not be too late to remarry after your filial piety is over. Why do you have to do such a dangerous thing, almost ruining your own life? "

Guo Xiu'er smiled miserably: "Why didn't I know that he was unreliable? I had no choice but to forget about everything just because I liked him. It didn't matter if I liked him or not, but I never thought that they would hide it." Such a wolfish ambition. Thank you brother-in-law for saving Xiu'er's life, and Xiu'er will definitely repay her brother-in-law with a grass knot."

Sun Zhangyang said: "There is no need to tie a straw title ring. Now I need to ask you something. The master of Futai asked me to take you back. He wants to ask you something, so you just answer it."

Guo Xiu'er was surprised: "Master Futai, what do you need to ask me?"

Sun Zhangyang replied vaguely: "In short, it is related to the cause of Fan Dalang's death, so follow me."

Guo Xiu'er lowered her head and said, "I'm relieved if it wasn't for the incident just now. Brother-in-law, how did you recognize Master Futai?"

Han Li smiled and said: "My elder sister is engaged to the elder brother of the Gu family, my father and Uncle Gu are in-laws! So don't be afraid, Aunt Xiu'er, we are all relatives."

Guo Xiu'er forced a smile and said: "That's great. But I remember that Zhanyi's child is very weak, the Gu family. But the family of officials and eunuchs, Zhanyi may be able to hold back when he gets married?"

Sun Zhangyang said with a smile: "There is no need to worry about this. Brother Gu and his wife love Zhanyi very much, and Zhanyi can't suffer at his house."

Guo Xiu'er let out a long breath, patted her chest and said, "I was intimidated by Mr. Gu's authority. It's ridiculous to be scared for Zhanyi."

A group of people came to the government office, and Guo Xiu'er was taken to the back hall.Seeing Gu Guangyi, Guo Xiu'er prostrated herself prostratingly: "Thank you, sir, for saving the little girl's life."

Gu Guangyi sneered and said, "If it weren't for the fact that the Fan family and his son really had the intention to seek wealth and harm others, it wouldn't be a loss to them if they sentenced him. How could your little trick work? I see that everyone is an old man. I will try my best to protect you, otherwise I will take your life for the crime of adultery in filial piety!"

Guo Xiu'er was so frightened that she trembled, knelt on the ground, touched her head and cried: "Please have mercy! The little woman should not have made a mistake and committed a big mistake by lusting after men and women. Please look at the child as a child." For the sake of not being able to leave my mother, please spare Xiu'er this experience. Xiu'er is willing to donate her family property, just to spare Xiu'er's life."

Gu Guangyi sneered and said: "How could I be greedy for your family property? If you want to spare your life, be honest. I have something to ask you today. If you answer well, I will let you go; if you don't tell me To tell the truth, you and Fan Erlang go underground together to be mandarin ducks!"

Guo Xiu'er replied tremblingly: "My lord, please, Xiu'er dare not hide anything."

Gu Guangyi stared at her closely, and said, "What can Fan Dalang give you before he dies?" Seeing that Guo Xiu'er was at a loss, he said, "For example, account books and documents."
