Chapter 36 Injustice
Such a filthy beast still has the nerve to cry out for injustice
Jiang Shu was laughed at by Zhao Dezhu's shamelessness, and said coldly: "Since you feel wronged, then hand the matter over to the relevant government offices for trial, and let them investigate it thoroughly and find out the truth."
Zhao Dezhu was terrified and raised his head subconsciously.
Without the screen to block him, Zhao Dezhu saw Jiang Shu as soon as he raised his eyes.
Jiang Shu, wearing a jade-green feather gauze skirt, sat at the top, with bright and noble eyebrows, like a fairy from the sky descending to the earth.
Compared with Jiang Shu, the village girls and farmers in the village were like dust and clouds.
Zhao Dezhu was stunned.
He had never seen such a beautiful woman.
"Asshole!" Seeing Zhao Dezhu staring at Jiang Shu without blinking, Shen Changze was furious and kicked Zhao Dezhu in the chest.
Zhao Dezhu was kicked over, and he came back to his senses with a trembling heart, and suddenly felt a huge pain in his chest.
But he didn't dare to cry out in pain, and knelt down again with cold sweat on his face to beg for mercy: "My Lord, please forgive me, I didn't mean to offend you."
The furious Shen Changze didn't want to listen to his excuses anymore, and said in a stern voice: "Zhao Dezhu oppressed the farmers, bullied men and women, was lustful, and committed all kinds of evil crimes that are unforgivable. Now he is abolished as the manager of the manor and sent to the government office for fair trial."
When the people outside the hall heard Shen Changze's words, they were all shocked and happy.
Zhao Dezhu was a really evil man. Everyone in the manor hated him, but they could do nothing about it. Today, he finally vented his anger.
"My Lord, I am innocent. These are all fabrications by the villains. They cannot be taken seriously." Zhao Dezhu was still crying out for injustice until he saw the coffin.
"Huo Chong!" Shen Changze shouted outside the hall.
Huo Chong came in, followed by a timid woman with a three or four-year-old girl.
"Dad." The girl followed the woman and called out timidly.
Zhao Dezhu turned around and was shocked when he saw the woman and the girl: "Why are you here? Go back quickly."
"This Marquis invited them here."
Shen Changze stood with his hands behind his back, looking down at Zhao Dezhu and said contemptuously: "Aren't you saying that you are innocent? In order not to wrongly accuse you, this Marquis specially found witnesses and evidence. Do you still think it's unfair?" Zhao Dezhu
was horrified and turned around to look at the woman and the girl. With a fierce look in his eyes, he warned in a low voice: "Don't talk nonsense in front of the Marquis' wife."
The woman was frightened by him and trembled. She clutched the corner of her clothes in fear and bit her lips tightly, not daring to speak.
"Huo Chong." Shen Changze shouted.
Huo Chong understood, stepped forward to grab Zhao Dezhu and dragged him out of the hall.
"My Lord, don't listen to her nonsense. I am loyal to the Marquis' Mansion..." Zhao Dezhu shouted unwillingly.
Huo Chong hated him so much that he took off his shoes and stuffed them into his mouth, blocking his mouth.
Zhao Dezhu wanted to resist, but Tan Yu quickly handed him a rope, and Huo Chong tied him up tightly in no time.
Zhao Dezhu fell to the ground, his face flushed and he struggled desperately, like a pig waiting to be slaughtered.
"If you have any grievances, you can speak boldly now." Jiang Shu spoke softly.
The woman pulled the little girl to kneel down and salute: "I am Wang Cui, a commoner, and I am here to see the Marquis, Madam."
Shen Changze returned to the seat and said in a deep voice: "Today, the Marquis will make the decision for you, and you don't have to be afraid of anything."
Wang Cui had been humiliated for many years and now she finally had the opportunity to redress her grievances. Her nose was sore and she wiped her tears and cried.
Jiang Shu and Shen Changze waited patiently without blaming or urging.
After her emotions stabilized, Wang Cui, with red eyes and a painful voice, told the story of her forced marriage five years ago.
"Zhao Dezhu is a beast! He would not let me go even when I was sick or pregnant. When I had a difficult labor and gave birth to Xiaotao, he despised me because I was a girl and abused me before I even finished my confinement. As a result, I was injured and could not get pregnant again."
"Since I couldn't have another child, he made me serve him like a slave. He would beat and scold me and Xiaotao if he was not satisfied..."
Wang Cui spoke with tears, her eyes bursting with bone-eating hatred.
Jiang Shu looked at Wang Cui and saw that she was haggard, with dry hair, bruises and red marks on her face, and she looked like a woman in her thirties.
But Wang Cui was obviously only nineteen years old.
Xiaotao, who was next to Wang Cui, was as thin as a kitten, with a pale face and bones visible, and timidity and fear in her wet eyes.
Zhao Dezhu is simply a beast for treating his own flesh and blood like this.
Jiang Shu was furious and asked Wang Cui how she wanted to deal with Zhao Dezhu.
"I want to peel off his skin, eat his flesh and drink his blood, but I hate his evil heart."
Wang Cui gritted her teeth and said in hatred: "Please ask the wife of the marquis to make the decision for me, kill Zhao Dezhu and throw him to the back mountain to feed the wolves." "
Then what will happen to you and the child in the future?" Jiang Shu felt that they were really pitiful.
"Go home, take care of your father and raise Xiaotao." Wang Cui hugged the thin Xiaotao, with complicated emotions in her eyes.
Out of maternal instinct, she naturally loves her own child. But when she thought that Xiaotao was born after she was raped by Zhao Dezhu, she hated and felt heartbroken.
As a woman, Jiang Shu understood the pain in Wang Cui's heart, but she could do nothing about it. After thinking for a while
, Jiang Shu said to Shen Changze: "My Lord, Zhao Dezhu must have accumulated a lot of property in these years."
"What do you mean?"
Jiang Shu approached him and whispered a few words.
Shen Changze thought for a while, and said loudly: "Huo Chong, bring him in."
Huo Chong carried Zhao Dezhu into the house and pulled the stinky shoes out of his mouth.
"My Lord, please spare my life. I know I was wrong, and I will never dare to do it again." Zhao Dezhu burst into tears.
Shen Changze glared at him coldly and said murderously: "Now this Marquis gives you two choices. One, hand over all your property and escort you to the government for trial. Two, tie you up and throw you to the back mountain to feed the wolves."
Although Shen Changze did not have the right to kill people at will, he had many reasons as long as he wanted.
He could even avoid being charged with murder and directly announce to the public that Zhao Dezhu had fallen off a cliff.
Zhao Dezhu was obviously well aware of this and chose the option without much thought.
There was still a glimmer of hope if he was escorted to the government, but if he was tied up and thrown into the back mountain, he would be eaten by wolves.
Zhao Dezhu, who had a chance of survival, was locked up in the woodshed. Shen Changze ordered Huo Chong to take people to count his property.
Zhao Dezhu committed a serious crime, and Wang Cui was just one of the victims.
In order to give an explanation to the other victims, Shen Changze ordered people to distribute Zhao Dezhu's property to them as compensation.
Xiaotao was Zhao Dezhu's daughter, and Wang Cui was the one with the most miserable situation, so they got the most property.
But they were not satisfied with this result.
"We don't want this dirty money, we just want Zhao Dezhu to die." Wang Cui and others knelt down and begged.
Shen Changze comforted them, "Don't worry, Zhao Dezhu is guilty of a serious crime and should be executed according to the law."
Jiang Shu also patiently advised, "There is no dirty or dirty money, it all depends on whose hands it is. Some of this money was even taken from you by Zhao Dezhu, and it should have belonged to you."
Wang Cui and others felt relieved after hearing these words, and they were all waiting to see what would happen
to Zhao Dezhu. Zhao Dezhu, who was locked up in the woodshed, was unwilling to accept his fate after calming down, and wanted to do everything he could to see Shen Changze.
The guards on duty disdained to pay attention, but after Zhao Dezhu shouted something, the guards' faces changed, and they hesitated for a moment before reporting to Shen Changze.
