Zhu Tian: Starting from the World of Zongwu

The man lowered his head in shame. "It's possible, right?"

Song Xuan waved his hand and asked, "Is this woman related to this case?"

"It's related! This whole thing happened because of her!"

Song Xuan nodded, "Then go on!"

Chapter 12 Cross-dressing boss

"Xiao Li's life story sounded pitiful, and she was charming and harmless, so I felt pity for her and agreed to her request."

Song Xuan looked down at Sun Liushi, "Your husband brought a woman home from outside. Can you agree to this?"

Sun Liu remained silent, and it was the man who spoke up to explain, "My wife is gentle and virtuous. After hearing Xiaoli's tragic life story, she didn't refuse and agreed immediately."

Lu Xiaoliu, Song Xuan and several other men looked at each other, and the meaning in their eyes was self-evident.

You see, when I marry in the future, I’ll have to find someone with such a broad mind!

"The next day, Xiaoli was about to leave. It was all my fault for asking her where she was going next."

"Xiao Li said pitifully that she was homeless and had nowhere to go. If we didn't mind, she wanted to stay here for a while.

According to her, she would do some needlework and sell it to pay the rent, and she would also do housework and farm work at home. In short, she would not eat for free.

My wife and I discussed it and felt that it was just one more mouth to feed at home, and Xiaoli could work and earn money, so we could support her.

My wife also said that I work for others outside and often go out early and come back late. When it is busy, I may only go home once every few days. Having a sister at home with me, I am not afraid to be alone at home.

Then I agreed to it.”

The man lowered his head in shame and said, "I also have selfish motives. Xiaoli is pretty, no worse than my wife, and she has no place to go after her husband died.

I thought that as we lived together for a long time, I would naturally be able to bring Xiaoli into my room.

I am an ordinary citizen, but I have the opportunity to have two beautiful wives in this life. How can I resist such a blessing?

What a pity, because of this greed, disaster has come!"

Song Xuan and the others had a rough idea in their minds. According to the normal routine, Xiaoli was probably not a decent woman. She probably led the law-abiding Sun Liu astray, and eventually caused a case of adultery.

"At first, everything was normal when Xiaoli lived at home. I went to work in the city during the day, and my wife and she did needlework at home and also took care of the half-acre of land at home.

Every day when I come home and see these two beautiful girls, all the hard work of the day feels worth it.

But gradually, after half a month, I began to feel that something was wrong with the atmosphere at home.

Sometimes I woke up in the middle of the night and saw my wife crying secretly under the quilt. When I asked her what was wrong, she just shook her head and said she was having a nightmare.

Every time I go out to work, my wife always looks worried, as if she has something to say but doesn't dare to.

I became confused and wanted to find out the reason. One day, I told my wife and Xiaoli that I was going to work and that I might have to stay out for three to five days before coming back.

Xiaoli looked very happy and comforted me by saying that with her at home, I could rest assured and work outside with peace of mind.

After saying goodbye to the two of them and walking away, I didn't go directly to the city, but sneaked back home.

Before I even entered the room, I heard some "hmmmm" sounds. I kicked the door open and saw Xiaoli and my wife lying naked on the bed, doing that thing!

When talking about this, the man clenched his fists and his eyes turned red.

Song Xuan was also stunned. The file said that Sun Liu committed adultery and was caught on the spot by her husband, but it didn't say that she had sex with other women?

Victoria Song and others also fell into deep thought.

It seems that the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty have never specifically stated how to punish a wife who has an affair with another woman behind her husband's back.

The Ministry of Justice sentenced him to immediate execution for adultery, which seems a bit too harsh.

"Your wife likes women?"

Song Xuan glanced at Sun Liu who didn't dare to look up. It was hard to say about the issue of sexual orientation. As a time traveler who had received a new-age education, he didn't discriminate against such people.

What's wrong with women playing to each other?

Haven’t you seen that many of the dignitaries in the court keep rabbit statues in their mansions?

When the man named Sun Buer heard Song Xuan's question, tears suddenly flowed down his face.

"If Xiaoli is a girl, then it's fine! I'll just pretend I didn't see anything!"

"Maybe you can join in, right?" Lu Xiaoliu said slowly.

Sun Buer was choked and didn't know what to say next for a moment.

Song Xuan waved his hand to signal Lu Xiaoliu, "Don't interrupt."

"Sun Buer, according to you, that beautiful widow who calls herself Xiaoli is not a woman?"

"no!"

Sun Buer shouted angrily, "He's a man! The thing between his legs is bigger than mine!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the cell suddenly became quiet.

Song Xuan almost choked on his own saliva, and the sharp turn almost sprained his waist.

Oh my goodness, after all this time, it turns out this was a case committed by a cross-dressing guy!

"You've been with Xiaoli for many days, but you didn't realize that he was a man?" Victoria Song was a little unconvinced, feeling that this matter was a bit too unbelievable.

"I really can't tell!"

Sun Buer sighed bitterly, "He's petite with long hair, beautiful, and has a soft, delicate voice. His Adam's apple isn't noticeable. How can you tell that?"

"If that's true, it's really hard to judge." Song Xuan sighed.

For women in this world, small breasts and small buttocks are considered beautiful, and they value being just the right size to hold. If they wear loose clothes, it is difficult to tell whether they are male or female based on their body shape.

People are usually judged based on height, appearance, hairstyle and voice.

Sun Buer was just an ordinary farmer, and he didn't have much knowledge, so it was normal for him to be deceived.

"Did you catch that man called Xiaoli?"

"No!" Sun Bu'er shook his head, "I think that guy panicked after I saw him. He just pulled up his pants and escaped through the window.

He must be good at martial arts. He was very fast and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

After I saw that he was skilled in martial arts, I didn't dare to pursue him any further, fearing he would become enraged and kill me to silence me."

Victoria Song sneered, "So, since you didn't dare to offend the adulterer, you took your anger out on your wife and reported her to the authorities?"

"I didn't report it to the police!"

Sun Buer quickly shook his head and when he looked at Sun Liushi, he no longer cursed like he did when he first came to the cell. Instead, his eyes were full of helplessness.

"I was indeed angry and beat her up on the spot, but I certainly didn't report it to the authorities! It's a family scandal in itself, and besides, this government office is a man-eating den of evil, how could I dare to come here!"

Song Xuan nodded slightly, looked at his wife, and asked, "Sun Liu, is what your husband said true?"

Sun Liu knelt down and kowtowed, "It's true!"

"So, do you think you are committing adultery?"

"I..." the woman cried, "I, I didn't want to do that either. But that man was too powerful, I couldn't resist him at all. He also threatened me that if I told anyone about this, he would kill my whole family.

He knows martial arts, and we are just ordinary people, how dare we go against such a person?"

Chapter 13 Sir, do you think my wife can be saved?

"Since you didn't report it to the police, how did your wife end up in prison and on death row?"

Sun Buer said helplessly, "After I beat her up, I calmed down a lot. But then I thought, if I were her, I would be helpless. When I meet a martial arts master like that, how can I resist except to swallow my anger?

To be honest, it was because of my greed and my desire for her beauty that I let a wolf into my house and caused such a disaster.

When a peasant family like us encounters such a disaster, we can only consider ourselves unlucky and swallow our anger, not daring to make a fuss about it."

"Then how did your wife get in?"

Sun Buer looked ashamed. "That happened later. Although I know my wife isn't to blame, I still feel bad about it.

One day I drank too much and started punching and kicking her and cursing at her, calling her shameless and unfaithful.

The noise was a bit loud, and they happened to hear officials coming to the village to collect taxes that day, and then they kidnapped my wife without saying a word."

Sun Buer started crying again, "I'm incompetent, I'm not a man. I'm angry with her, but I also know it's not her fault.

My Lord, a husband and wife are bound by a hundred days of grace. I hit her and scolded her just to vent my anger and feel better. I really didn't want her to die!"

Song Xuan turned to look at Ye Dianshi, who was listening attentively outside the cell, and said, "Are the officers who arrested Sun Liu your men?"

Ye Dianshi shook his head, "It's Li Tongpan's men."

Song Xuan hummed and asked Sun Buer, "You didn't tell the people in the government about your wife's situation?"

"I told you!"

Sun Buer said angrily, "The master in the yamen has spread the word that if you don't want my wife to be convicted of adultery, you have to pay a hundred taels of silver!

One hundred taels! How could I possibly afford it? I had no choice but to sell my land and property, and borrow from relatives and friends. But before I could gather enough money, the officials from the yamen arrived, saying that my wife had been convicted of adultery.

It’s set in stone, no one can change it!

They also threatened me that no matter who asked, I had to say it was adultery. If anyone said anything wrong, not only would I die, but all my relatives and friends would die too!

Sir, you are the Black Guards. I know you are not afraid of the masters in the government office. Please, save my wife!"

Song Xuan remained silent and pondered for a moment.

If the couple had not lied, the case would be clear at this point.

Simply put, Sun Buer married a beautiful wife who was famous in the surrounding area, and then attracted the flower thief.

This flower thief seemed to have some special hobbies. He didn't like to use force directly, but liked to dress up as a woman. With his miserable life experience and beautiful appearance, he aroused Sun Buer's greed and moved into her house openly.

After that, he raped the man's wife by threatening her.

The matter is not complicated. It is a case of flower thieves involving gangsters.

But the strange thing is that there is no mention of the flower thief in the case file. All information about this person has been deleted.

Just as Ye Dianshi said, the case is not complicated.

It’s people who are complicated!

Lu Xiaoliu walked up to Song Xuan and whispered, "Brother Xuan, according to what Sun Buer said, the yamen runners under Li Tongpan arrested Sun Liushi, probably initially to extort money, purely for the sake of money.

But later, in a very short time, Sun Liu was convicted of adultery and the case was made ironclad. This was no longer for money, but to erase the information of the flower thief.

It is obvious that the flower thief is not just a martial arts expert, but also has an unusual identity and is likely to have a strong official background.

Some people above us don’t want the news of a thief raping a woman to get out.”

At this point, he pursed his lips and smiled, "But it seems that this matter is still not covered up. Some people want to cover it up, while others want to lift the lid. Otherwise, this case that should have been reviewed by the Ministry of Justice would not have fallen into the hands of our Xuanyi Guards."

Song Xuan nodded slightly, "Your analysis is very thorough, so our current situation is a little unsafe."

Lu Xiao? Is he crazy? Isn't he afraid that the Xuanyi Guards will slaughter his entire family afterwards?

The Ministry of Justice relies on evidence when handling cases, but when it comes to killing our Black Guards, those killers in the Law Enforcement Department don't care about any evidence. As long as there's suspicion, they'll execute them first and report later!"

Song Xuan laughed and said, "Don't be nervous, it's just a possibility. But to be on the safe side, we must make some preparations.

There should be a Xuanyiwei stronghold in Huai'an County, right?"

"Indeed!"

Lu Xiaoliu whispered, "But they are from the Law Enforcement Department. If we try to mobilize them, they probably won't care about us!"

"Then tell them that you are from the Imperial Capital, and that Zhao Dezhu, the Director of the Imperial Capital Inspection Department, is your biological father. If anything happens to you, your father will never let them go!

You've been a long-time scoundrel in the capital, don't tell me you don't understand this trick of using a tiger's skin to pull a banner!"

Lu Xiao?"

"First, you don't seek power, second, you don't seek fame, and third, the position of Xuanyi Guard was passed down from our ancestors and no one can take it away.

You are just an old slacker, are you afraid that Old Zhao will punish you?

Besides, before we left the imperial capital, our Uncle Zhao told us that if we have any problems, we can just report his name. He can handle anything, no matter how bad the sky falls!"

"Now that you put it that way, I feel more confident!"
