Xia Jinjun and others rushed over to support Old Lady Xia, but she waved her hands, saying that she would not faint and that she wanted to see this vicious woman being tried with her own eyes.
The gavel was slammed again, and the discussions outside stopped abruptly.
"There is such a thing?"
Mrs. Hu nodded vigorously. "Yes, my son is dead anyway. It was her... She had been having an affair with my son for a long time. When her husband found out, she drugged him viciously. This is what my son told me after he got drunk."
Old Mrs. Xia held her breath, tears welling up in her eyes but she stubbornly refused to let them fall.
Xia Zhiliao's hand, which was being held, felt the strength from her grandmother and the warmth from her palm quickly disappear.
[My uncle died so unjustly. It's a pity that I was not there at that time.]
Old Mrs. Xia closed her eyes and a tear fell. Yes, if only the girl Zhiliao had been there at that time.
This girl is smart and she will definitely be able to tell me, so my eldest son won’t have died in vain.
"Ms. Hu Zhang, what do you have to say?"
Facing the majestic master and the powerful yamen runners, Zhang had already been trembling like a sieve.
She was just an ordinary woman, she had never seen such a scene before, her heart was in turmoil, she knew what was going on without even seeing the scene.
"Hu Zhang, do you have anything else to say?"
"Sir...sir...it's not me...I didn't do it!"
"Sir, she did. She bought the poison from Sun's Pharmacy in the county."
"Someone, go and bring the owner of Sun's Pharmacy here." The county magistrate cast a cold gaze at Zhang.
Zhang was so frightened that she collapsed on the ground. She had no power to resist, even without any witnesses or evidence, because everything Mrs. Hu said was true.
"Sir, I... I am innocent. I didn't want to kill my man. It was her... her son who forced me to do it. I didn't seduce him. It was... he who pestered me and forced me to give him the drugs. If he asked me to buy the drugs, he also paid for it."
Zhang looked at Mrs. Hu. Since she was going to die, no one could live well. Even if they died, they couldn't expect to die cleanly.
Mrs. Hu's eyes were also red, and she looked like she wanted to strangle her to death. Anyway, her son was already dead, and she didn't care about her reputation. She must make this woman die.
"Sir, she's talking nonsense. She was the one who seduced my son. It was her!"
"I don't!"
The gavel was banged again. "Silence."
The two women who were arguing with each other were afraid of the county magistrate's authority and the sticks that could hit them at any time, so they quickly shut their mouths.
At this moment, the corpse under the white sheet actually moved.
The people around him were so scared that they shouted, "It's a zombie!"
The county magistrate frowned and subconsciously stepped back a little.
As for Zhang, she was so frightened that she almost fainted. She said in horror, "No...it wasn't me...it was...you who forced me to do it. You beat me, made me sleep with those men, and didn't let me go back to the Xia family. I...ah!"
"Hiss...ah! Why are you so noisy? What kind of rubbish is covering me? Where is that bitch? Where have you been? Why don't you come and serve me?"
Hu Erping tore off the white cloth on his body and rubbed his slightly aching head. With his eyes half open, he saw Zhang's face and started to curse her, "What are you doing standing there? Why don't you come and help me? Where is this?"
Not only were the people present stunned, but even the people of the Xia family, especially Xia Chen, were stunned.
Xia Jinheng blinked at Xia Zhiliao, and it was obvious that the uncle and nephew had done something.
However, after Xia Chen reacted, she breathed a sigh of relief. Although Hu Erping deserved to die, he should have been punished by the law instead of being poisoned to death at her instigation.
After that, no matter how he died, it would have nothing to do with me.
"Fourth brother, what happened?" Xia Jinxiu didn't react either. Wasn't this man dead?
Xia Jinheng shook his head, "Shh~"
Xia Jinxiu rolled her eyes at him angrily, "Virtue, you're still keeping me in suspense."
"Go back and make something delicious tonight, and I'll tell you."
Xia Jinxiu glared at him, but lowered her voice and said, "Brother's revenge has been avenged, so naturally we have to eat something good to celebrate."
Old Lady Xia nodded, "Not bad."
"You...you...you are not dead?" Old Mrs. Hu was overjoyed at first, but then she burst into tears.
"Oh my God, why aren't you dead?"
Hu Erping was unhappy, "Mom, what are you talking about? Why am I dead? Aren't you cursing me?"
"My son, you are really going to die this time. I am so stupid!" Old Mrs. Hu hugged her son and cried bitterly.
Hu Erping also realized that this seemed to be a government office.
"I... why am I here? What's going on?"
The county magistrate also breathed a sigh of relief. He had seen corpses many times, but he had never seen a corpse resurrected like this. If the coroner had not taken leave for the past few days, such a thing would not have happened.
However, if it weren't for this faked death, the other unjust case would never have been uncovered.
"Hu Erping, Hu Zhang has confessed that you and she conspired to poison her previous husband. Do you plead guilty?"
Hu Erping glanced at Zhang, took a deep breath, and then kicked her in the chest, "Are you looking for death? Tell me everything?"
Zhang had just recovered from her fear when she was kicked hard and spat out a mouthful of blood. "You...you're not dead?"
"Nonsense, are you cursing me to death?"
"Son, wasn't she poisoning you?"
"You bitch, you actually dared to poison me, you..."
"Silence, silence!" The county magistrate was so angry that he kept shaking his head. This family was really in chaos. "Hu Erping, your mother just testified that you and Hu Zhang conspired to murder her ex-husband. I ask you again, do you plead guilty?"
"I...I...who asked you to confess?" Hu Erping grinned and asked Zhang viciously.
Zhang was afraid at first, but she knew she was doomed, so she was fearless. "Haha, I confess. If you want to blame someone, blame your mother. No, blame you. You were careless. You drank some dog urine and told your mother such an important thing. I plan to keep it to myself for the rest of my life. It's your mother. If you want to blame someone, blame your mother."
"mother……"
"Woo, woo, my son, I... I thought you were dead. This woman can poison her previous man, and she can also poison you!" At this moment, Old Mrs. Hu just wanted to regret it.
Too bad, there's nowhere to sell it.
Since Zhang had confessed first and Mrs. Hu had testified, even if Hu Erping was not poisoned to death, he would have been executed.
Hu Erping was so angry that he wanted to hit someone, but unfortunately he had already been controlled by the yamen runners.
"I'll kill you, you bitch!"
"If you want to blame someone, blame your mother. Who else can say that you are lucky? A packet of medicine can't kill you." Zhang said viciously.
Anyway, killing one means death, and killing two means death as well.
