Chapter 168: Driven out of the house and frozen to death
Jiusu looked over and saw that he looked like he had frozen to death.
"The body was bright red. Before death, he felt warm and rolled up his sleeves. He was in extreme hypothermia and showed a 'fake smile' before entering death. This is indeed a sign of freezing to death."
When it was confirmed, her heart sank.
Jiang Jing added: "There are debris on the ten fingers. Judging from the color, it looks like a gate."
Aunt Wang ran over and pointed at the marks left on the door.
"It's true! There are new scratches here. Ouch, it was so cold last night, my sister froze to death! Jiugui, you bastard, you actually froze your mother to death! Do you have any conscience?"
Freeze your own mother to death.
These few short words are full of blood.
"Jiusu, you brought a wild man to my house to cause trouble, right? Get out of my house!" Jiugui grabbed Jiang Jing's collar and threw him outside, but he couldn't move at all.
Jiang Jing held his hand and exerted a little force.
Jiugui cried out in pain: "It hurts, it hurts."
Last night was bitterly cold. Thinking of her mother in the dream, Jiusu realized belatedly that she was saying goodbye to her. Her eyes turned cold, "It's not even winter yet. How could you have the heart to lock mother out?"
Jiugui put his hands in his sleeves, squatted in front of the door, and said irritably.
"Don't talk nonsense! She died of starvation. There was no food at home. You were so cruel and vicious that you killed our mother!"
"We can ask a coroner." Jiusu's eyes fell on the deceased, feeling a little reluctant. Women had a low status in ancient times, but Jiu's mother also favored boys over girls.
The tragedy repeats itself over and over again.
Hateful and pitiful.
When a person dies, it is like a light going out. All past conflicts are gone like clouds and smoke. Jiusu wondered, when she was locked outside and about to freeze to death, did she regret the decision she made in this life?
Hiring a coroner? That would involve a murder case.
Not to mention the people in the government, in Lingcheng in winter, the mountain wind is cold and countless people have frozen to death. Nine out of ten people know what it looks like to have frozen to death.
The villagers looked up and saw quite a bit.
Chen Yulan's eyes kept rolling: "We don't have money, so we won't invite you! You heartless person, get out of here right now, I, we don't recognize you anymore! Jiugui, drive her away! Let's bury our mother in the ground!"
On important matters, Jiugui listens to his wife.
He stammered, "Get lost! A married woman is like spilled water. You don't need to meddle in our family affairs!"
Jiusu's voice was cold, even cooler than the autumn breeze in the early morning.
"Murder and murder are no longer family matters, they are state affairs!"
"Who do you think you are? You're talking about state affairs. Do you have the qualifications?" Chen Yulan taunted, taking out a kitchen knife and barking rudely, "Get out of here! We don't have funerals in our family. It's unlucky for an old woman to die. Hurry up and grab a hoe and go bury her in the mountains."
Jiugui had a bad reputation and the wife he married was not a good one either.
Village Chief Chen had never imagined that their behavior was so bad. He said, "Put her down! A son and a daughter-in-law, how cruel!"
Suddenly.
Jiang Jing strode into the yard and bowed to Jiusu under everyone's puzzled gaze.
He said slowly, "Master Jiu, someone is plotting to kill your mother and is being disrespectful to you. Should we just beat them to death with sticks?"
!!!
Everyone's eyes widened involuntarily. Yes, they subconsciously thought that Jiusu was from the same village. The only difference between him and them was that he had some money and became more elegant.
But they forget that this is a real high-ranking official!
Village Chief Chen knelt on the ground and said, "I greet Master Jiu. Please be clear-headed. This couple is so ambitious that they killed their own mother! Moreover, they always abuse her on a daily basis."
The villagers knelt down.
Jiusu suddenly realized, oh~ she was the salt transport envoy, a third-rank official. She asked the villagers to stand up first, her face was cold, and when her eyes met Jiugui and his wife, they were so scared that they knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.
"Do you admit to kicking her out last night?"
The indifferent tone made them lower their heads again and again.
Jiang Jing found a wooden stick from somewhere and said, "After the count of three, I will hit you until you say yes. Three..."
"I'm telling you!" Chen Yulan hugged her son and swallowed nervously, "Last night, I had a fight with my mother-in-law and kicked her out. I thought she went to see Jiusu..."
Jiusu asked, "Did you hear her knocking on the door?"
Chen Yulan shook her head, "No, no, we fell asleep very early."
"The gate is so close to the house, and the window is broken. Did you not hear it or are you pretending not to hear it?" Jiang Jing's eyes were stern. "Knowing about it and not telling anyone is an even greater crime!"
The Jiu family's house is not big, so it is impossible for Jiu's mother not to hear her knocking on the door.
The lie was soon exposed.
Chen Yulan had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "I heard about it. We didn't open the door. I wanted to teach her a lesson. Who told her not to get the money from you? If you ask me, her death is all your fault!"
When he met Jiusu's cold eyes, he immediately lowered his head.
Jiusu's heart trembled. Sure enough, they were the ones who killed her. She took out a comb and, together with two maids, tidied up Jiumu's face and rolled up her sleeves.
There were ripples in my heart.
"Based on the crimes they have committed, how should they be sentenced?"
Jiang Jing twirled his fingers. "According to the laws of our dynasty, the lighter punishments for manslaughter and ill-treatment of one's biological mother are ten years in prison or caning. The more serious ones are exiled a thousand miles away and never allowed to return home."
The two men collapsed to the ground in fear.
Jiudali picked up a stone and threw it at Jiang Jing, "Bad guy! Get out of my house!"
"Assaulting an official is a more serious crime." Jiang Jing caught the stone, spread his palm, and sprinkled it in front of Jiugui. "You mean to say that the child is still young, right? It's okay. Children make mistakes, and adults take responsibility."
Jiudali still wanted to hit him.
After being grabbed by the collar and thrown to the ground by Jiugui, the child burst into tears. Jiugui was so upset that he raised his hand and slapped his son on the butt, "You little bastard, you won't feel comfortable until you kill your father, right?"
Slap, slap, slap! The butt was spanked until it was red.
Chen Yulan snatched the child away distressedly, pointed at Jiugui's nose and cursed, "How could I marry such a cowardly man like you? He's not even as brave as your son. I'm so unlucky!"
Being scolded by his own wife in public.
Men have lost their dignity and face.
Jiugui's face flushed with anger. He grabbed the woman's hair, pinned her to the ground and beat her, roaring and venting his anger, "I'm incompetent! Go find a capable man! I've always listened to you. You said farm work was hard, and we were lazy at home, working my father to death and making my mother sick. Then you said my mother must have some money, so we ate her coffin money! Now she's dead and still wrapped in straw! Oh, yes, speaking of death, wasn't that your idea?"
"Shut up!" Chen Yulan struggled to push the man away. She was trembling with fear. "Your mother deserved it. Who told her not to go find Jiusu? It wasn't me. It wasn't me who killed her!"
After ten years of marriage, this man actually wants to throw all the dirty water on her!
Let's die together! Jiugui, don't even think about getting rid of her!
Jiugui roared, "If you don't kick her out, will she freeze to death? What else can you say? If she faints from the cold and gets sick, just take her to Jiusu. Jiusu will definitely give her money!"
