Chapter 2 Self-certification of innocence
Family law? Lin Zhao was suddenly shocked.
His thinking was still stuck in the testimony of Chen Xuan and Xiaotao, and combined his memory to search for clues, trying to find clues to escape from it.
When there was just progress, Mrs. Meng had already been convicted and had to enforce family laws. What a mess?
But I heard Mrs. Meng say angrily: "Drag it down and beat it forty sticks again!"
What? Lin Zhao was immediately angry. This is not a family law, it is clearly abusing lynching to kill people!
After hearing this, Gu Qi was very surprised and rushed over and begged, "Mrs. I am weak in my body and I will definitely not be able to bear it for 40 sticks... This is because I am not strict in my family education. Let me take it on my behalf!"
Uncle, what are you doing? Although Lin Zhao is moved, he is more angry! If he is wronged, why should we accept the punishment?
Why don’t I say something? Ahhh! Lin Zhao’s body kept shaking, and hesitating and muffled, wanting to express his dissatisfaction.
Gu Yuelun was smart and shouted: "Old lady, why don't my cousin say something? Maybe he was wronged, maybe he had some misunderstanding..."
"Cousin, I love you so much!" Lin Zhao complained in his heart, and finally someone noticed his demands!
Gu Qi also came back and begged: "Old lady, I beg you, let Zhaoer say something! If he really made a mistake, we are willing to accept the punishment!"
"Grandma, let's hear what I say so that he can convince him..." Lin Zhao clearly heard that the person who was talking was a woman, Meng Ruoying, the eldest daughter of the Meng family, and she didn't expect that she was there too.
"Old lady, do you have to tolerate him being rude and rude to his sister-in-law again?" It was Chen Xuan again, Lin Zhao was very angry, and had greeted his ancestors several times in his heart.
This kind of revenge is not a gentleman. After I escape, you guys and women are beautiful...
"What's wrong with letting him speak? If he dares to talk nonsense, he will disrupt his legs..." Miss Meng is quite reasonable, but why should he look at people with a lewd look?
Mrs. Meng pondered for a moment and finally nodded.
It's not easy, finally a chance to defend yourself!
The rag in the mouth was finally removed, the fishy smell disappeared, and a fresh air poured into the mouth and nose, one word - cool!
"Lin Zhao, what do you have to say?" It was Meng Ruoying who asked.
Lin Zhao took a few deep breaths greedily and said coldly: "Of course there is something to say, but you have to loosen your ties first and let me stand up!"
"A bold thief dares to speak wildly..." Chen Xuan started to scold!
"Which onion are you? When is it your turn for the Meng family to point fingers?" Lin Zhao's words really choked Chen Xuan. Although many people subconsciously regarded him as the future son-in-law of the Meng family, Meng Ruoying had not seen him directly several times.
Lin Zhaoxu said: "What power do you have to tie me up?"
"Evil slave, you have committed a crime in the Meng family!" Meng Ruoying took charge of hundreds of workers in the Meng family, and was used to being domineering and was not interested in Lin Zhao's servants who were so stubborn.
Lin Zhao smiled and said, "Miss, don't be angry. Since that's the case, why would you give me to Jiangning County Government and the government will be sentenced to the court! Why should the Meng family set up a private court? They abused lynching and wanted to kill people? Could it be that they would despise national laws?"
You... Meng Ruoying suddenly became angry.
"Okay, let him loose!" Mrs. Meng spoke, and no one dared to refuse.
The so-called family scandals should not be made public. If you send yourself to the government office today, you will have rumors all over Jiangning tomorrow. Maybe countless versions will be derived, and the Meng family cannot afford to lose this person!
In fact, it is common for wealthy families to punish domestic slaves who make mistakes. Lin Zhao also casually frightened him and strengthened his momentum. Mrs. Meng was worried and agreed before she could think about it carefully.
The rope was loosened, and the limbs were already numb. A simple and honest man with a medium figure rushed over and said with concern: "Zhaoer, are you okay?"
Lin Zhao felt even more uncomfortable when he saw his uncle Gu Qi's eyes were tears, and blood stains were already seen on his forehead! He gritted his teeth and said, "It's okay, uncle, don't worry!"
While speaking, he endured the pain and stood up, gently moving his almost numb limbs.
"Little thief, what do you have to say?" Chen Xuan asked coldly.
Lin Zhao turned around and smiled and said, "Why are you anxious? What's the saying? The emperor is not anxious and the eunuch is anxious. Could it be that this matter has anything to do with you?"
Chen Xuan had a ghost in his heart, so he didn't dare to say more.
"Okay, stop talking nonsense, what excuses do you have?" Meng Ruoying felt a little strange. The honest and sincere companion of her brother seemed not to be this kind of virtue...
Lin Zhao's eyes fell on Meng Ruoying, with fair skin, bright eyes, red lips, black hair, shoulders, a small red mole on the corner of his eyebrows was particularly obvious, and there was a sense of ability all over his body. At this time, he stared at himself expressionlessly, which was quite majestic. Lin Zhao thought to himself that he didn't know how the beauty looked when she smiled?
Meng Ruoying was surprised to find that Lin Zhao was actually staring at him, his expression slightly unnatural, and there was a little more displeasure in his phoenix eyes.
Before Miss Meng became angry, Lin Zhao bowed slightly and said, "Old lady, Miss, Lin Zhao has just been rude, please forgive me!"
"Do you still know what rudeness is?" Meng Ruoying said a pun.
Lin Zhao smiled faintly: "It seems that the lady is biased against me. Since that's the case, it seems that it is necessary to prove her innocence first..."
Chen Xuan and Li secretly exchanged glances, and they couldn't help but feel a little nervous. How could a nerd, who has always been stupid and clumsy, be so eloquent?
Lin Zhao talked happily: "Please allow me to ask Xiaotao a few questions?"
"Ask, let's see how long can you be smooth and smooth?" Meng Ruoying nodded slightly, while Mrs. Meng remained silent.
Lin Zhao turned around and looked at witness Xiaotao and asked, "I'll ask you a few questions, do you have to answer truthfully, where were you decorating the medicine at that time?"
Xiaotao replied: "I was decocting medicine outside the window of the west room!"
Lin Zhao nodded and continued to ask: "Where is a screen in the young lady's house? In which direction?"
"This..." Xiaotao began to feel something was wrong, but Lin Zhao asked tightly, so he had to answer truthfully: "The young lady has a screen in her room, which is in the corner of the west wall near the bedroom!"
"Very good!" Lin Zhao asked, "Today... have you changed your clothes?"
"Dengtuzi..." When Lin Zhao asked whether the girl had changed clothes or not, Meng Ruoying muttered softly.
Lin Zhaoquan pretended that he didn't hear it and quietly waited for the answer!
Xiaotao was a little furious when Lin Zhao looked at it with sharp eyes and said, "What does this matter? Why are you so rudely asking?"
"Maybe it's a bit abrupt, but please answer truthfully, it has a lot to do with this matter!" Lin Zhao asked in a deep voice.
Xiao Tao glanced over and saw that the old lady and the lady didn't speak, and obviously agreed, and said timidly: "I haven't changed my clothes today..."
"Okay..." Lin Zhao nodded with satisfaction and asked with a smile: "Where is the inner study room of the young master?"
"East House!"
Lin Zhao clapped his hands and said, "That's strange. I went to the study of the young master in the east room to deliver books. The young lady's bedroom was in the west room. The screen was on the west wall of the west room, and the main hall was separated by the middle. You were decocting medicine outside the window of the west room. You insisted and repeatedly said that I was peeking at the young lady... changing clothes... that is to say, it was not breaking into the door, so where did I peek from?
The only possible place is outside the window on the front of the west room, and you happened to be decorating medicine there at that time. Did you turn a blind eye to me? Or did my eyes penetrate the walls and screens, peek... the young lady... changing clothes?"
There are many convenient places in the bedrooms of wealthy families behind the screen. Elegantly speaking, it is changing clothes, but it is actually just going to the toilet! I have not peeked at the evil realm of women going to the toilet...
"This..." Taozi was suddenly a little panicked, and his eyes were looking for help from time to time to glance at the young lady and Chen Xuan... and hesitated for a long time before saying, "Maybe I remembered it wrong..."
"Okay, the second question is, when you came in with the medicine, I was in a panic and wanted to escape, and I was full of collision with you, right?" Lin Zhaoxu said: "If this is the case, it is natural to pour the medicine bowl... You haven't changed your clothes today, and I have no chance to change clothes, but why are there no traces of medicine on your and my clothes?
Of course, you might say that the medicine was spilled on the ground? I wonder if the young lady’s room had been cleaned? Is there any trace? It was such a coincidence? Maybe you remembered it wrong again..."
Two consecutive questions made Xiaotao unable to answer, but it largely reflected the problem...
Lin Zhao smiled and said, "Okay, I'll finish asking. I believe that the old lady and the young lady will make a decision!" As he spoke, he glanced coldly at Chen Xuan and Li, with the winner's smile on the corner of his mouth.
In order to cover up their miserable facts, they killed people and silenced their words and turned to the evil ones to complain first, but they did too many loopholes in the troubled and not strict enough. Or because of the sudden incident, other people in the Meng family were quickly intervened, and they had no time to arrange for confessions. In order to be credible, Xiao Tao made up for it by himself and consciously described many details, which looked plump and real, but in fact he shot himself in the foot.
Ordinary people may not pay attention, but it is easy for Lin Zhao, who is a major in criminal investigation, to easily find clues from it, thereby proving his innocence.
