Soon, the banquet was set, and Zhao Hao and Luo Bi took Wu Er to the table.
Wu Song was very restrained. Zhao Hao offered to pour him some wine, but Wu Song said he dared not take it no matter what. Finally, Zhao Hao gave up.
The three of them chatted and drank, but Wu Song still looked worried.
Not completely let go.
While they were eating and drinking, a servant from the office came to report that the man named Xu Manqing had been brought here.
Upon hearing this, Wu Song immediately stood up from his chair.
Anger suddenly rose in his eyes.
Zhao Hao smiled faintly and waved his hand, saying, "Second Brother Wu, just be patient, I will definitely give you justice today!"
Wu Song nodded.
Luo Bi stood up and said, "Sir, I will go and ask Xu Manqing first to see what he has to say."
Zhao Hao said, "Well, Lao Luo, you ask in the front, and Brother Wu and I will listen in the back. If he confesses and shows remorse, then we will punish him, but we won't kill him."
"If he refuses to confess, then we'll punish him. Find a place to lock him up for ten or twenty years."
"Confiscate some more money and compensate Big Brother Wu!"
In the afternoon, after Shang Wu Song returned to the office, Zhao Hao and Luo Bi also investigated the matter in the girls' school.
It turned out that Lianlian was here because the workshop was a little far from her home.
After working for a while, it happened that a school was established, and cooking was also needed.
Since Lianlian had worked in a workshop and had some experience, it was naturally easy for her to go to the school cafeteria.
This Lianlian works in the school. The salary is good and the work is easier than in the workshop.
After a few interactions, he came into contact with Ye Bo and Xu Manqing.
Then, the two of them got together.
Xu Manqing is tall and strong. Not only is he good-looking, but he is also an educated man and knows a lot.
The mouth can speak too.
For Lianlian, the attraction is quite great.
Then, Lianlian fell.
The above is what I learned from the girls’ school.
The relationship between the two people is not well-known to everyone, but it is almost the same.
As for what Wu Song said later, whether the two people conspired to poison Wu Da is still uncertain.
but.
The person Luo Bi sent to take Wu Da to the city for treatment came back and said that Wu Da was indeed poisoned, and the poison was very serious.
Wu Song said that his elder brother could not speak or move, and it was not an exaggeration at all.
Hearing what Zhao Hao said, Wu Song's expression suddenly changed, and he immediately knelt down and said: "Sir, if you ask clearly, my elder brother was indeed killed by that adulterous couple..."
"Please allow me, sir, to hand this man over to me. I will avenge my brother with my own hands!"
At this time, Luo Bi also looked at Zhao Hao.
Zhao Hao hesitated for a while, then looked at Wu Song seriously and said, "Second Brother Wu, I respect you as a good man. This is from the bottom of my heart."
"But, no matter what, I can't hand Xu Manqing and your sister-in-law over to you to deal with."
"As the saying goes, a country has its own laws, and a family has its own rules. If a law is violated, it will be dealt with according to that law!"
"This is the punishment given to them by the law. It can't be you, and it can't be me!"
After hearing what he said, Wu Song was about to speak, but was interrupted by Zhao Hao with a wave of his hand.
"Brother Wu, you probably can't understand what I'm saying now."
"But you'll have a chance to understand it later."
Seeing Zhao Hao's determination, Wu Song did not say anything else, but from his expression, he really could not understand what Zhao Hao said.
But Luo Bi, who was standing by, was quite surprised.
He bowed to Zhao Hao, then walked away. Zhao Hao and Wu Song followed him and went to the front hall together.
The two of them hid behind the screen and did not go out.
Soon, Xu Manqing was brought in. Facing Luo Bi's high-pressure questioning, Xu Manqing did not hide anything.
He told her everything about how he conspired with Lianlian to poison Wu Da.
However, there was no fear on this guy's face, instead he looked completely indifferent.
After he finished speaking, he smiled softly, looked at Luo Bi and said, "Master, he is just a tenant farmer. I can give him a few strings of cash as compensation, and the matter will be over. How about that?"
Luo Bi immediately sneered: "Xu Manqing, as a scholar, you first seduced a good family, and then murdered them. Do you think you can cover up this matter with a few strings of money?"
Xu Manqing laughed and said, "Master, I am sensible. Master, I have something to say."
As he said this, he stretched out a finger.
"Master, for one hundred strings of cash, can you please let this matter go?"
One hundred strings of cash is not a small amount.
If it were someone else, he could give out 100 strings of cash as a tribute and 99% of the time the problem would be solved.
But now, definitely not.
Luo Bi sneered again, and immediately began to sentence Xu Manqing to death. He confiscated 100 strings of cash from Xu Manqing and handed them over to Wu Da of the Wu family.
One hundred lashes and fifteen years' imprisonment.
Hearing what Luo Bi said, Xu Manqing's expression suddenly changed.
"Master Luo, I am a member of the Xu family. Besides, I am not a member of your village. As the master, you have no right to punish me!"
Luo Bi frowned immediately.
That's true.
If he is a tenant farmer in the village, he is indeed under his jurisdiction.
But Xu Manqing’s registered residence is in the imperial capital.
He really can't control it.
Seeing Luo Bi's hesitation, Xu Manqing hurriedly asked again: "Master Luo, why do you have to do this?"
"What good will it bring to you to offend our Xu family for a mere ant?"
