And his eyes have been falling on Su Tang'er. Su Tang'er is indeed a little embarrassed now, and her face is still a little dark, but she can still roughly see the outline of her face. Through this outline, the Seventh Prince can be sure that the woman in front of him is She is her biological daughter!
Especially Su Tanger's eyes were exactly the same as those of her late princess.
Seeing those eyes, I thought of my princess, and the look she looked at Su Tang'er became even gentler.
"The common girl Su Tang'er has met the Seventh Prince, and he is a thousand years old!" Su Tang'er knelt down and kowtowed gracefully.
When Wei Qiang saw Su Tang'er knelt down and kowtowed, he also knelt down and kowtowed, but he felt panicked.
This seventh prince is not easy to get along with at first glance, so the things he did will definitely be exposed completely, and his end may be even worse than when Ling Chi was executed!
The seventh prince looked at the case, looked at the people in the hall and asked: "Wei Qiang, the second brother Wei Kun died half a year ago. According to the description in the case, Su Tanger was dissatisfied with the marriage and killed him during the wedding night. Your eldest brother, right?”
Wei Qiang's face was covered in cold sweat and his body was trembling. This was the first time he saw a big shot from the capital. He was not just another small county magistrate in Chu County. He was a little scared...
"Wei Qiang, I won't worry if you don't confess honestly, because the governor is the witness when your elder brother died. You'd better confess some things honestly, otherwise it won't be as simple as execution by Lingchi! "
If you dare to accuse his daughter wrongly, you are simply seeking death!
His daughter did not commit murder, yet she dared to accuse him unjustly. Do you think that his daughter has no one to support her
"Replying to the prince, the younger... the younger brother did die on the wedding night. My eldest brother's death really had nothing to do with Su Tang'er. The reason why I said that is because the county magistrate ordered me to do that. ! If I don’t do what the county magistrate said, I will die. Although I look very tall, I have always been greedy for life and afraid of death. I don’t want to die at all, so I listened to the county magistrate. If so, you would be wronging me, Su Tanger..."
"Bold!" The Seventh Prince was angry, "Tell me the truth quickly! Otherwise, you will be punished!"
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty..." Wei Qiang is really riding a tiger.
For a prince, he has many capable people and strangers under him. This small case will definitely be clear to him, and there is also the county magistrate as a witness, so he should honestly explain the case clearly, and everything will be resolved when the time comes. The responsibility rests on the county magistrate, and he might suffer a little physical pain.
However, his eldest brother did not die in the hands of adults, but in his own hands. He killed his eldest brother in anger at that time, so his eldest brother died tragically, and his parents knew that He killed his eldest brother, so he became seriously ill in a fit of rage, and then died of it!
If all these things are revealed, how will he gain a foothold in Linshan County? Even if those people won't kill him, they will make him shed his skin. No, no, these things must not be told.
Even if he is beaten to death, he cannot say that he killed his eldest brother. Otherwise, would he still have a way to live
But Master Hand was sitting next to the Seventh Prince, and he saw everything that happened at that time. If he lied, he would definitely not end well.
What to do, what to do!
Wei Qiang was so anxious that he got angry, but there was nothing he could do. The sword was on his head. If he said the wrong thing and killed Huo, the sword would fall and his body would be dismembered. There is no complete corpse!
"explain!"
The Seventh Prince doesn't have much patience, not to mention that this matter involves his daughter, so he will naturally punish those who lie!
"Reporting to the prince, this is what happened:" Wei Qiang began to talk eloquently...
Su Tang'er was forced to marry into their Wei family because Su Zhengming's woman Zheng Ke and Su Zhengming's daughter Su Jiaojiao teamed up to bully Su Tang'er, and then forced Su Tang'er to marry him. Tanger married his eldest brother.
Su Tanger also cried to death before marrying his eldest brother. She obviously didn't want to marry, but she still got married in the end.
On the night of the wedding, the county magistrate also came. However, the county magistrate did not come to attend the wedding, but came to their home to collect debts. He said that the Wei family had not paid a penny of tax for several years and still owed them money. A lot of debt.
The county magistrate came to the door in person, but their family wanted money, but their family had no money at all. The little money they had was all used to marry Su Tanger.
Since he couldn't get the money or pay the taxes, the county magistrate was very angry and came up with an idea. The idea was to kill his eldest brother and let him die, and then frame the two of them on Su Tang. Son, let Su Tang'er take the blame on his behalf and become a murderer that everyone reviled. He also threatened the Su family and asked the Su family to spend a large sum of money to make up for the losses suffered by the Wei family this time. If the Su family didn't come up with that sum of money, they would make things worse.
The people of the Su family were still very wary of rats, so they agreed and gave them 2,000 taels of silver to support their family. He divided the 2,000 taels of silver and gave 1,500 taels to the county magistrate. Adults have made decisions for themselves and completely overshadowed these things.
Due to the involvement of the county magistrate, this matter was quickly covered up. In addition, the Su family did not intend to continue pursuing the investigation and instead severed the relationship with Su Tanger, and married Su Tanger into Shenjia Village, becoming Shenjia Village. The daughter-in-law of Shen Xino.
This time, why things suddenly escalated? It was because the Su family's mother and daughter, the Zheng family, were too angry. Su Tang'er swore a poisonous oath at the gate of the county government last time, asked everyone for help, and once again wrote a letter of guarantee. An incident made the Su family's Zheng mother and daughter very unhappy, so they once again united with him to deal with Su Tang'er.
That’s why everything happened later.
The whole incident was like this, except that during the killing process, Wei Qiang spoke in very general terms and did not make it clear at all.
The seventh prince also became very angry after knowing everything about this matter, and immediately ordered people to beat Wei Qiang thirty times!
In other words, Su Tanger became a very innocent person in this matter. He did nothing. At most, he only saw what happened to Wei Kun, and the Seventh Prince also asked about Wei Kun's death. How much did Su Tanger see
Su Tanger very honestly explained clearly the parts that Wei Qiang ignored.
