Chapter 275 The Truth One
[Zhengyangju] There were already many villagers surrounded by the gate. When they saw the carriage, they all started to shout.
"Look, look, the carriage is coming, it must be Lord Shu."
Song Qiao and the others rushed over as soon as the sky was dawn.
Gu Bufan ignored them and made tea and drank it by himself. Wen Yueru made breakfast early and brought it outside. Gu Bufan and Song Jiabao slowly ate a sumptuous breakfast.
The Song family smelled the scent of food and kept swallowing.
It really made them very angry.
Lu Rong pulled Song Qiao off, "Three sisters, the person is here, should we kneel down and shout for justice first?"
Song Qiao glanced at her, "No need."
The carriage stopped and Song Qiao met him. The first person who came out of the carriage was Shu Tongfeng.
Song Qiao bowed appropriately, "I have met Lord Shu."
The carriage behind were Mr. Yang and Yang Yuan, but Mr. Yang did not come. Perhaps it was because of He Ju's affairs, and he was still angry and unwilling to come here.
Song Qiao greeted her with red eyes, "Grandfather, Brother Yuan."
Both of them felt distressed when they saw her like this.
Mr. Yang asked urgently.
"Qiao'er, are you okay? I heard about what happened last night. What was going on? How come so many snakes came into your room?"
Yang Yuan stepped forward and took Song Qiao's hand.
"Qiao'er, I'm sorry! I didn't take good care of you, which made you frightened."
Song Qiao shook her head, sniffed, and said, "Brother Yuan, it's not your fault. You still have a lot of things to be busy with, so you can't be by my side every day. You really don't blame you for this."
"Qiao'er, let's go. Let's hear what Lord Shu said? This is what Lord Shu will definitely give you a satisfactory result today."
"Well, I know."
Song Qiao nodded obediently.
Gu Bufan stood up and bowed to Shu Tongfeng and said, "Sir Shu, please sit down and have a tea. Gu has prepared tea for a long time and is waiting for Lord Shu. Last night, the girl Nuan was wronged. I hope Lord Shu will find out the truth and give her a clean heart."
Shu Tongfeng nodded, sat down with his robe and took the teacup.
"Thank you, Doctor Gu."
Song Nuan and the Song family stood in the middle, and the villagers surrounded them. This was the second time they saw the government sitting here to try the case.
Song Qiao told the situation again.
Song Nuan also told the situation.
They each had their own opinions, and Shu Tongfeng did not favor either side and immediately asked someone to go to the Song family to investigate.
Su Ye was protecting the scene on the Song family, and there was no damage. There were only footprints left by Boss Song when he went to pick up the cloth strips in front of him, and the footprints of another person were also deeply kept.
Shu Tongfeng thought about it and went there in person, and Song Nuan and others accompanied him.
Song Nuan went over and compared the footprints. Now, except for Boss Song's footprints, the other footprints did not match Song Nuan's footprints.
The size is different, and it seems that the footprint is also a man.
The group returned to [Zhengyangju].
Shu Tongfeng announced in public that there were no Song Nuan’s footprints there.
Song Qiao was not convinced and asked in public: "Sir Shu, footprints on the ground cannot mean anything. If I remember correctly, Song Nuan knew very well what would happen if the footprints would be left on the scene."
"She must have made complete preparations when she came to see Lord Shu so readily. She may also wear other people's shoes and go there. In this way, after the government came over, after investigation, she could not suspect that she would go up to her head."
Song Qiao looked at Song Nuan, "Song Nuan, everyone in the village knows that only you can catch snakes with bare hands. How long does it take for others to catch so many snakes? Moreover, others have to worry about being bitten by snakes."
Song Nuan looked at her lazily, "What you mean is that if I can catch snakes just by this, but I won't be bitten by snakes, I can determine that the snake must have been put by me? I can still eat. One day your house has a bowl of food, do you have to doubt my head?"
After Song Nuan finished speaking, he bowed to Shu Tongfeng and said, "Mr. Shu, this matter is no longer about my personal innocence. Can we also suspect that Song Qiao's words just now have put a snake in place and then wrongly accuse me?"
"Song Nuan, you?" Song Qiao's mouth was pissed.
"Don't be angry, what I'm telling is the truth. If you doubt me like that, I can doubt you like that."
Things seemed to have suddenly entered a dead end, and no evidence was useful.
At this time, someone shouted outside the crowd, "I made it, and I put the snake."
When the Song family heard the familiar voice, they were all stunned.
The villagers retreated one after another and looked at Old Man Song, who was walking towards Shu Tongfeng step by step.
I saw that he had clear eyes and serious expressions. Although he was dressed in rags, he was clean this time.
Boss Song asked in surprise: "Dad, are you doing well?"
Old man Song pointed at him and shouted angrily: "Don't call me dad, I don't have a son like you."
Boss Song's face turned red and he looked embarrassed, "Dad, you are angry no matter how much you are, you are my father too. Dad, if you have anything to do, let's talk about it later. Today, Lord Shu is here to try the case. We ordinary people cannot disturb the government's trial of the case."
He wanted to scare Old Man Song back.
But he didn't know that Old Man Song was here to meet the officials today, so he wouldn't be scared by him.
Old Man Song looked at him coldly, walked straight to Shu Tongfeng. He knelt down with a plop and kowtowed three times to Shu Tongfeng.
"Sir Shu, Caomin is wronged."
The villagers looked at each other, whispered to each other, and pointed at each other.
"Oh my God, when did Uncle Song get better? Looking at how he looks now, it seems that he has been better for a while."
"Why did he run to Lord Shu to call for justice? Is he wronged?"
"Do you know? Boss Song didn't let him live in the new house. Or, he locked him in the old house that day and didn't even deliver him any stutters."
"It's not like this that I'm going to call my dad to sit on the seat. No wonder Uncle Song scolds him."
"Don't keep sympathizing with him now, and you don't think about how he treated Song Nuan and his brothers before? He is now like this, so he is retribution."
Old Man Song felt very regretful when he listened to everyone's words. He regretted being harsh on Song Nuan and his brother, and also regretted always favoring the Song family's large house.
He is raising snakes and eating chickens.
Mr. Song and his family were so embarrassed that they couldn't even raise their heads.
Many of the things the villagers said were true. They did not allow Old Man Song to move into the new house, and they did not even deliver a bite of food that day.
Song Wencheng nervously grabbed Lu Rong's hand.
Lu Rong felt pain and turned his head to stare at him, "What are you doing?"
Song Wencheng didn't say anything, but just blinked at her nervously.
Why is Old Man Song stupid? Now he is awake again? Will he tell the matter? Now the government is here. If he says it, what kind of result will these people be?
Song Wencheng was shocked and anxious, but he couldn't say it out.
Shu Tongfeng looked at Old Man Song who was kneeling on the ground and asked, "Old man, get up first. What kind of injustice do you have? If you say it in front of so many villagers today, I will definitely give you justice."
Old man Song knelt on the ground and didn't want to get up.
He wiped his tears, then looked up at Song Qiao.
He bent down and opened his head, revealing a scar as big as a fist. There was no head on the wound, and the wound was still pink, which showed that it was a new wound.
Song Qiao was stunned when she looked at the scar.
She vaguely knew what Old Man Song would say next? Suddenly, she felt like she was being deceived into a game.
"Old man, what does it mean to expose this scar? How did this scar on your head come from?" Shu Tongfeng looked at the new scar.
Old man Song pointed at Song Qiao and said angrily: "Sir, Caomin's wound was my granddaughter, and he smashed it on my head with a shoulder pole. At that time, they injured me and beat me up again, and I only had one breath left."
"They were afraid that I would die at home, so they carried me to the road outside, and there was a jar of wine next to me, which made people think I was drunk, fell to the ground, knocked my head against the stone, and died of bleeding."
"If I hadn't been sent home by my nephew of the same clan on such a cold night, I would have died without understanding."
"Adults can ask Song Tianyin about how I discovered me. He knew very well that he helped me home that night. Someone showed up, so these unfilial sons had to keep me at home and let me die."
Shu Tongfeng's eyes swept to the villagers and asked, "Who is Song Tianyin?"
Song Tianyin walked out of the crowd and knelt beside Old Man Song. "If you want to know the master, the grass-roots are Song Tianyin."
Shu Tongfeng nodded and asked again: "Is the situation that night the same as what the old man said?"
Song Tianyin nodded and said, "At that time, I was going up the mountain to hunt. Before I left the village, I saw a person lying on the road ahead, so I ran over to check it out. Then I realized that my uncle from the same clan was lying there. The wound on his head was very big, but the blood had already clotted at that time."
"He was covered in blood, and he was left with only one breath, and there was a jar of wine beside him. I didn't think much about it at the time, so I hurriedly sent the person back, and then helped them hire a doctor. Later, I went up the mountain."
Song Tianyin told the situation of the day in detail.
He is consistent with Old Man Song’s statement.
Shu Tongfeng looked up at Song Qiao beside him.
"Do you have anything to add to them?"
Song Qiao knelt down with a pounce, "Sir, the civilian woman is wronged. This is not the case. I have to ask him what he did that night?"
She pointed at Old Man Song.
Shu Tongfeng looked at Old Man Song again, "What did you do that night?"
Old Man Song looked embarrassed, but gritted his teeth and said, "That night, I followed her two maids. Seeing them carrying water back to the house and saying they wanted to take a bath, I was fascinated by the moment, so I ran under the window to peek."
"I haven't seen anything clearly yet. I just got there, and then I heard someone screaming in the room. Before I could run, Song Qiao came out with a shoulder pole. She didn't ask anything and smashed it on my head."
