"My lord, the villain is not talking nonsense, but has evidence. The reason why Wang Zhaodi has been helping the villain for so many years is because the villain knows this secret. She asks the villain for whatever she wants in order to seal the villain's mouth."
It would be empty to say that Wang Dabao had no feelings for Wang Zhaodi, his sister, but even if he had feelings, this feeling would not be able to withstand the lives of the six members of his family.
The master of the family has said that the child they exchanged has occupied the rich life that he should not have. Died unexpectedly.
The lives of several members of his family were at stake, even though he knew that he would be sorry for his eldest sister, Wang Dabao still chose to tell the truth.
Wang Zhaodi was scared out of her wits by Wang Dabao's words. She originally thought that this matter would be deeply buried with the passage of time, but who would have thought that the matter would be revealed by Wang Dabao? Could it be that he is crazy?
"Wang Dabao, I treat you so well, why do you want to harm me? What good does harming me do to you? Tell me, tell me!"
Wang Zhaodi looked crazy, if it wasn't because the yamen servant next to her controlled her, Wang Zhaodi would have rushed to bite Wang Dabao.
The county magistrate looked at Wang Zhaodi, who seemed to be insane, and at Wang Dabao, who was frightened but tried to act very calm. It was clear at a glance which was right and which was wrong.
Seeing that Wang Zhaodi wanted to continue to make trouble, the county magistrate slapped the gavel and yelled loudly: "Wife Wang, do you have something to say?"
At this time, Wang Zhaodi was already in tears, she was crying and crying out for injustice.
"My lord, this is all Wang Dabao's nonsense, the folk woman has never done it, it is all his nonsense, the folk woman has never done it, please learn from me."
At this moment, Wang Dabao kowtowed deeply to the county magistrate again, and said loudly: "My lord, I dare not talk nonsense. This matter has been kept in my heart for twenty years, and now I finally say it." , the villain can also be more relaxed, and the appearance of the villain's nephew is not the same as that of the Qi family. If the adults see it, they will understand that such a character cannot be born in a family like ours."
"Also, the villain remembers that the villain's nephew had a birthmark the size of a coin on the inside of his thigh, but the nephew who was exchanged didn't have one on his leg. This is the evidence."
Wang Dabao swears and gives such evidence, it is actually not difficult to determine whether Qi Wang is the youngest son of the prime minister who was replaced.
Seeing that Wang Zhaodi was still crying and refusing to admit what she had done, the county magistrate lost his patience and directly drew a lot and ordered the yamen servants to be tortured.
Wang Zhaodi was frightened out of her wits, and kept yelling grievances, but the yamen servants still dragged her to the bench, and started to beat the board.
Wang Zhaodi was in so much pain that she cried for her father and mother, but she still refused to admit that she had replaced the children of the two families.
Although she is just a village woman, because Qi Qingfeng is a scholar, Wang Zhaodi knows some taboos. She knows one thing very well. If she is really convicted, her son's reputation will be gone. So she refused to let go of her confession.
"My lord, the women are wronged, please learn from me!"
"My lord, please spare my life, my lord, my lord, I have done nothing, I beg my lord to let this woman go..."
When the county government opened a court trial, there would always be people gathering outside the county government to watch the magistrate judge the case, and this time was no exception.
This time, when they found out that it was a case of a village woman exchanging an official's son, the common people were surprised. They never imagined that they would see such a bizarre case in their lifetime.
"Swapping her own child with the official's? How could she be so bold?"
"Changing a child can make your child soar into the sky. Maybe in the future, when the child develops, he can join in the blessings. Isn't it normal to be tempted by such a free business?"
Wang Zhaodi was beaten miserably. After hearing the case, some people even began to sympathize with Wang Zhaodi, and some even expressed their understanding secretly.
Isn't it normal to go to enjoy happiness in order to have a good place for one's own children? However, as soon as she said this, she was scolded back by the people next to her.
"What you said is wrong. If it is true, what this person did is simply disgusting. We are all mothers. Put yourself in the shoes of others. If your good child is replaced by someone else, your child Would you be happy if you were eating bran-swallowed vegetables at someone’s house, but you want rich clothes and fine food to raise other people’s children?”
"That's right, it doesn't hurt to stand up and talk, and those who secretly replace their children should be cut to death. They don't want their children to suffer. Should they let their children suffer?"
The people outside talked and started to quarrel in a low voice. If it wasn't because it was outside the county office, they might have fought a lot.
However, as Wang Zhaodi suffered many boards, but still refused to admit that she had changed her child, the common people who were watching also began to doubt.
The crime of changing a child is not a big one or a small one. If the other party does not pursue it, it is estimated that the sentence will not last for a few years. This person has been beaten like this, but he still refuses to let go that he changed the child. Could there be some misunderstanding
More and more fell on the board, and Wang Zhaodi's aura became weaker and weaker, but even so, she still refused to admit that she had replaced two children.
The voices of common people outside became louder and louder, and a look of displeasure flashed across the county magistrate's face.
In fact, there is another meaning for ordinary people to watch and handle cases these days, that is, to prevent unjust, false and wrongly decided cases, it doesn't matter if they are executed properly, but if the prisoner has been unwilling to sign and admit his crime, then they can't let him He pleaded guilty, and if the reputation of being tortured spreads out, it will be detrimental to their officials.
In the beginning, the county magistrate thought that Wang Zhaodi was easy to deal with. She was not very courageous. If she was frightened or hit the board a few times, she would confess her crimes, but now her buttocks are all bloody, and she vents more than breaths out. However, she still refused to admit that she had really changed her child.
If the prisoner refuses to admit it, then things will be a little troublesome. The county magistrate is not that stupid, so he can only stop the execution by the yamen servant.
Wang Zhaodi, who survived with perseverance, breathed a sigh of relief. Although her sanity had begun to blur, she was still very happy in her heart.
As long as she doesn't plead guilty, the county magistrate will have nothing to do with her. Those words are all Wang Dabao's one-sided words. If the victim cannot be found, what she did will not be exposed...
Seeing that the voices of the common people outside were getting louder and louder, and even some unharmonious voices appeared among them, the county magistrate knew that if he didn't handle it well this time, it might affect his reputation, so he raised his voice. said the voice.
"Wife, Mrs. Wang, do you know that the parents of the child you replaced secretly are the current prime minister, a first-rank court official, and his mother is also a first-rank official wife appointed by the emperor. The matter is of great importance, and this official has retired. A letter will be sent to the capital quickly, and those who want to come to the prime minister's residence will come soon."
As soon as the magistrate's words came out, everyone inside and outside the hall was shocked.
That woman replaced the child of the prime minister's family? The county magistrate even reported this matter. It seems that there may be something strange in this case. If the county magistrate is not sure, he probably would not dare to report the case.
For a while, the common people who believed that Wang Zhaodi was not guilty because she had been beaten all the time but refused to plead guilty began to doubt again.
What if Wang Zhaodi knew that what she replaced was the prime minister's child, and she was afraid of being retaliated by the other party, so she refused to admit it
The case became more and more complicated and confusing, and it was clear that there was no clue in the trial in the middle of the afternoon, so the county magistrate took both Wang Dabao and Wang Zhaodi into custody, and waited for news from the capital.
Wang Zhaodi's injury was serious, if not dealt with, people from the capital might not survive, the county magistrate had no choice but to send a doctor to treat Wang Zhaodi's wound.
The prisons of the two brothers and sisters were arranged in adjacent places. The prison was dark and damp, and snakes, insects, rats and ants were rampant. Wang Dabao had never suffered such a crime since he was a child, and now he was imprisoned suddenly, how could he bear it
After the mouse climbed his clothes again, Wang Dabao's face showed a look of collapse. He glanced at Wang Zhaodi in the cell next door, and cried, "Sister, the matter has come to an end, just confess it, you are If the child is replaced, I am the witness, if you really wait for the people from the capital to come, do you think you will end up well?"
Naturally, Wang Dabao didn't think about Wang Zhaodi, but because he really didn't like the prison environment, and he wanted to get out urgently. If Wang Zhaodi confessed, he could be released from prison.
At this time, the wound on Wang Zhaodi's body had been healed, and she was more energetic. She raised her eyelids and looked at Wang Dabao in the cell next door, and said through gritted teeth, "Wang Dabao, why did you want to kill me?"
Although Wang Zhaodi was so kind to Wang Dabao these years because Wang Dabao knew her secret, it is undeniable that she was kind to Wang Dabao because he was her younger brother, so she was kind to him.
All these years she spent her heart and soul for the Wang family, who would have thought that Wang Dabao turned around and stabbed her mercilessly, and what good would it do him to get himself thrown into prison
Wang Dabao was afraid in his heart, and felt that the matter had already settled. Regardless of whether Wang Zhaodi said it or not, when people from the capital came, what Wang Zhaodi had done would be revealed to the world. After returning to everyone, the bloody disaster in their family will naturally disappear.
"Eldest sister, I have no other choice. You can't just watch our Wang family lose their sons and grandchildren, can you?"
Speaking of which, Wang Dabao quietly let a fortune-teller into their house, and he told Wang Zhaodi about the fate of the family. In the end, Wang Dabao's voice had a crying tone, and he felt that he was wronged urgently.
"Sister, you will understand me, right?"
She understands shit! If it wasn't because she couldn't get up at all now, Wang Zhaodi would definitely slap Wang Dabao severely, and tear this ungrateful beast to pieces.
Just because of the nonsense of a fortune teller, he sent his own sister to prison. Does this man still have a heart
Not to mention how the brothers and sisters in the prison were arguing, the members of the Qi family who rushed to the county government hurriedly got out of the bullock cart, but they were still a bit late, the trial of Wang Zhaodi's case had already been completed, They knew the cause and effect from the mouths of the people around them.
Everyone in the Qi family: "..."
Rao had thought of thousands of possibilities when they came here, and they never thought that Wang Zhaodi would be arrested for this reason.
Qi Wang turned out not to be a child of their Qi family, but was replaced by Wang Zhaodi as a child of an official family, and his real parents were actually the prime minister and Mrs. Yipin Gaoming
All this is too unbelievable, completely unbelievable.
Qi Baotian lost his voice and said: "Will there be a misunderstanding? I watched Er Zhu grow up, and his nose, eyes and mouth are exactly my replica. How could he not be my child?"
He has never heard of Wang Zhaodi changing the child, and she has always been very kind to Qi Wang, if it is really the exchanged child, if it is not her own, why should she be so kind to the child
Qi Dazhu doesn't believe it either, the age difference between him and Qi Wang is not too big, this kid has been running around behind him since he was a child, except that he looks a little better than him, he doesn't look like a noble boy at all , How could such a person not be a child of the Qi family
However, both Qi Qingfeng and Liu Jiaming's faces were not very good-looking, they were not as optimistic as Qi Baotian and Qi Dazhu.
The county magistrate of Lishui County is fairly clean and honest. A person like him would never arrest a village woman on trumped-up charges. There may be something they don't know about it.
Qi Baotian was anxious, couldn't help pushing Qi Qingfeng, and said anxiously: "Qingfeng, you are a scholar, why don't you go see the county magistrate and ask what's going on?"
Qi Dazhu also nodded and said: "Yes, third brother, you have a reputation, so you can talk to the county magistrate..."
However, before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Qi Qingfeng who was full of impatience. He said with a cold face: "I'm just a scholar, and the county magistrate was born as a Jinshi. How can I be so good?" Talk to the other party in private? Don't mention it again."
In fact, if it was something else, Qi Qingfeng would have the cheek to meet the county magistrate. After all, he was a scholar and a scholar, and the county magistrate would treat him a little bit.
But this time Qi Qingfeng didn't dare to go to the county magistrate, and told him intuitively that what happened to his mother was likely to be true. If so, wouldn't he have thrown himself into a trap? The county magistrate didn't need to do anything else, as long as he revealed the news to his master, he couldn't stay in the school any longer.
It's about his own future, how can Qi Qingfeng not care about fear
Seeing them blocking the entrance of the county government office, but unable to find any clues, Liu Jiaming couldn't help but said, "Why don't we go to the second brother first? Let's talk about the next thing after we see the second brother."
As soon as these words came out, Qi Qingfeng's eyes lit up involuntarily.
this is a good idea.
No matter what the truth of this matter is, even if the matter reaches the worst stage, as long as Qi Huang is facing them, all problems will no longer be problems.
"That's it, we're going to find him."
Qi Baotian was completely confused at this time, he didn't know what to do, so he could only let Qi Qingfeng make the decision.
The group didn't stay long outside the county government office, and soon they went to the Yuelai Restaurant where Qi Huang worked.
When Xiao Er came in and told Qi Wang that there was an accident at his family and his family members came to him, Qi Wang understood, he didn't say anything, asked Master Zhang for a vacation, and went out through the back door of the restaurant.
In the alley by the back door, Qi's family was crowded together in a large group. When they saw Qi Wang coming out, their eyes lit up, and they hurriedly gathered around.
The original appearance of this body was extremely outstanding, but the arrival of Qi Wang endowed this body with an even more outstanding temperament. When the dust covering the pearl faded away, it naturally emitted a bright light.
Obviously he still has the same eyebrows and eyes, but it makes people feel that he has become different.
Qi Qingfeng felt the deepest, especially after knowing that Qi Wang might be the son of the prime minister, he had more thoughts.
