Chapter 325 Where is Xiong Kai's Silver?
Zhou was frightened and confessed without being asked, "Sir, this is all Sang Yong's idea. Someone came to our house that day and called Sang Yong out. Sang Yong came back drunk and cursed, saying that Xiong Kai and Ma Xingfei killed my Ah Rong and that they destroyed the pillar of our family.
I didn't believe it and planned to ask him about it the next day, but when he woke up the next day, he was in a very bad mood. He yelled and scolded us mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. He went out after dinner and didn't know what he did for several days. That night, he suddenly brought back a man who had lost an arm and his face was ruined. It was really scary.
Sang Yong tied the man there and interrogated him about the cause of my son's death, but I didn't know anyone about the other party. I only remembered Ma Xingfei. What he said was similar to the information Sang Yong got. Sang Yong asked him why he didn't protect our Rong'er. He said he only cared about money. At that time, Sang Yong wanted to kill him.
He tortured the man for three days and killed him on the last day. It was freezing cold and there was no place to bury such a big man. Sang Yong thought of throwing him into the river near Shenjiazhuang, just like he planned to kill Ma Xingteng. When the snow melted in spring, the body would float away. Even if it didn't float away, people wouldn't suspect us. "
Ma Xingteng got goosebumps when he heard this. He was thrown into the Daxun River near Shenjiazhuang that year. Fortunately, Shen Yi showed up in time and rescued him.
"What about Sang? Sang and Sang Yong have been dependent on each other since childhood. Aren't they siblings with a very good relationship? Why did Sang Yong take his anger out on Sang?" the county magistrate continued to interrogate.
Zhou confessed everything about Xiong Kai, and it was impossible for her to hide Sang's affairs, so she said, "Yes, they are brother and sister. They did have a good relationship before, but that was in the past. When they were rich, they were naturally very close. When they were poor, they were nothing!
My sister-in-law used to secretly take money to subsidize her parents' family. The Sang family was originally very poor, and they became rich thanks to my sister-in-law. Now that they have money, how can they be willing to live a hard life again?
But the Ma people were stingy. After finding out that my sister-in-law had subsidized her parents' home, they forced us to return the things, otherwise they would divorce my sister-in-law. The brother and sister fell out because of this incident. In addition, my sister-in-law designed to harm Ma Xingteng, so the brother and sister had each other's handles and became enemies.
Ma Xingteng sent his sister-in-law over to let Sang Yong vent his anger. Whenever Sang Yong was angry, he would whip his sister-in-law a few times. The sister-in-law became even crazier after being beaten, and she would curse, scream and shout.
Sang Yong became even more furious. He blocked her mouth and beat her to death. He did this for several days until she was nearly dead. I was afraid that he had really beaten her to death, so I tried to persuade him a few times before he stopped.
This is what happened. County Magistrate, I can't do anything about it. Sang Yong is vicious and even beats me. I have injuries on my body. We can't and dare not intervene in what he does, otherwise we will be the next ones to be beaten!"
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law hugged each other and cried bitterly.
The county magistrate and the county deputy discussed the matter and, considering that Zhou was indeed a vulnerable woman and confessed what happened, they only gave her twenty lashes of the cane and did not convict her.
Both murders were solved.
Chen Yi and Su Tai were finally able to leave the county government with dignity.
As the two men walked out of the county government gate, Su Chunlin and Han immediately brought a brazier and set off firecrackers to drive away the bad luck, and then let them get on the ox cart.
Su Tai just found it a little funny. "Dad, Mom, aren't you busy with farm work at home? Why did you come to the county?"
Han yelled, "How can we not be busy! But how can we sit still when such a big thing happened to you two? We rushed here when we heard that the court was about to open, but we didn't expect Sang Yong to be so cruel. Fortunately, Su Yan didn't marry him back then, otherwise her life would be ruined!"
As soon as he finished speaking, several people saw the three members of the Mo family being pushed out of the yamen by the yamen runners.
Mo Chunxiang struggled desperately, "Xiong Kai made so much money on the battlefield, how could he come back penniless? I want to report to the authorities, please ask the county magistrate to help me! All the money is mine!"
Her only thought now was about money. She could not listen to anything else as she earned money from driving a box of bears in the military camp.
The yamen runner angrily drove the family off the steps, "Mad men! Xiong Kai is dead. Only the dead know whether he had any money or not. I'm warning you. If you continue to cause trouble, I will arrest you and beat you with 20 sticks, just like Zhou Shi!"
Mo Laotian was so frightened that he dragged Mo Chunxiang hard, "Let's go! The man is dead, and no one saw him bring back any money. Where can we ask for help?"
Guan's eyes rolled wildly, "Niu! Xiong Kai is dead, Niu and Feng'er haven't shown up either, the money must be on them!"
Mo Laotian paused, and Mo Chunxiang's eyes lit up, "Yes! Dad, my mother is right, find my mother-in-law and Feng'er, and give all the money to them!"
"Where should we find Coco?" Mo Laotian frowned.
They did look for it at the beginning, they searched everywhere they could, but there was no clue at all.
Mo Chunxiang was a bit paranoid and crazy, mumbling absentmindedly, "The Xiong family, Uncle Xiong Kai and the others must know, let's go! Let's go ask them!"
Mo Laotian didn't think the Xiong family would tell them, but he couldn't stop his daughter.
After the three members of the Mo family left, a group of people from the Ma family also followed them out.
Ma Rencai has woken up, but his spirit is becoming weaker and weaker.
Ma Yujie kept scolding her, "You married a good wife. You were biased when they framed my brother. Now she deserves to die, but you still suspect my brother. If my mother knew about this, she would never let you go even if she became a ghost!"
Ma Rencai was scolded so hard that he burst into tears and looked at his eldest son with guilt.
"Yujie!" Ma Xingteng signaled Ma Yujie not to continue talking, turned around and quickly walked down the stairs, with no intention of paying any attention to Ma Rencai.
Ma Xingteng walked quickly to Shen Yisu Tai, bowed to them, and said, "Brother Shen, sister-in-law, I have implicated you again this time. I will come to apologize after I have dealt with the family affairs."
Shen Yi waved his hand, "It's okay, Mr. Ma, go and do your work first! We have to go back too."
After everyone separated, Shen Yi and his ox cart also started moving.
As soon as Su Chunlin opened his mouth to ask about the case, he was stopped by Shen Yi, "Father-in-law, since you guys came out, the family has lost two main workers. My brother-in-law and the others must be exhausted!"
"Oh! That's right! So we have to go back quickly. After the spring plowing, Azhan and Achuan will go out to do business again. When they come back, we will harvest strawberry jam. We will be busy all year round." Su Chunlin was diverted and began to talk endlessly.
Shen Yi listened carefully, and finally asked: "Father-in-law, you said that Azhan and Achuan went to the imperial capital to do business. Did they stop at the prefectures along the way?"
Su Chunlin hesitated and shook his head, "Probably not. We are in such a hurry that it is not safe to stay, and the caravan will not wait for them."
Shen Yi stroked his chin in thought, "I have a few brothers coming back from the battlefield, and I want to help them find some ways to make money."
