Chapter 310: Entrustment
Su Laoer was still thinking about Su Laowu's words on the way back.
I couldn't help but think of the Duke of England's Mansion.
I thought of the grievances that Old Mrs. Su had suffered over the years and how she had lived in anonymity for so many years.
Then he thought about the Duke of Ying's family bullying others by taking advantage of their power and trying to forcibly seize his sister Tang Bao...
All of this is because of power...
Then, Su Laoer remembered that he had forgotten to tell his younger brother that the Duke of Yingguo’s Mansion was actually his maternal family.
However, his mother doesn't recognize this relative anyway, so it doesn't matter whether he tells her or not.
Su Laoer simply put this matter behind his mind.
As for offending the prince of Yongning Marquis's Mansion, Su Laoer didn't take it to heart at all.
“Murder… murder…”
Suddenly there was a loud shouting from the front.
Su Laoer was startled and ran forward quickly.
After all, he was a yamen runner, so of course he had to investigate if a case occurred.
Soon, Su Laoer discovered something was wrong.
Because the place where the noise happened was actually the Wu family's tofu pudding shop.
"My son... my son..."
Heart-wrenching cries came from the crowd.
Su Laoer's heart was in a rage, as the voice was clearly that of Aunt Wu.
"Let them go...let them go...the yamen runners are doing their work..."
Su Laoer spoke loudly, quickly pushed through the crowd and squeezed in.
Under the wooden shed, Wu Bingsheng was lying on the ground covered in blood.
Aunt Wu threw herself on Wu Bingsheng and cried like crazy.
Under the table next to them, Madam Wu was lying on the ground, not knowing whether she was dead or alive.
Little girl fell to the side and cried loudly in fear.
Not far from Wu Bingsheng, a tall man huddled on the ground, his face pale with fear.
Su Laoer recognized that this was Wang the butcher who ran the pork shop not far away.
Butcher Wang muttered:
“It’s not me…it’s not me…”
Next to him was a blood-stained butcher knife.
Su Laoer's head buzzed and he was almost scared to death.
Even though he was a yamen runner now, he had never seen such a murder scene.
What's more, he was an acquaintance, someone who had just been chatting and laughing with him.
"Bingsheng!"
Su Laoer ran over shouting and squatted down to check on Wu Bingsheng's condition.
Wu Bingsheng's chest was heaving violently, he was gasping for breath, and there was a big bloody hole in his chest.
Su Laoer's heart sank suddenly.
Although he had not been an official for a long time, he knew that Wu Bingsheng was injured at the heart.
Such a serious injury, I'm afraid...
Su Laoer didn't dare to think further.
At this time, a patrolling yamen officer ran over and immediately stopped Wang the butcher who was trying to escape.
Butcher Wang reeked of alcohol and it was obvious that he had been drunk.
But he must be sober now.
Su Laoer instinctively reached out and wanted to pick up Wu Bingsheng.
Wu Bingsheng suddenly grabbed Su Laoer's arm.
"Su, Second Brother Su..." Wu Bingsheng shouted with difficulty.
"Bingsheng, don't say anything!" Su Laoer said anxiously, "I'll take you to see a doctor right away!"
Wu Bingsheng shook his head, tightly grasped Su Laoer's arm, and said intermittently: "Xiu, Xiu'er..."
Su Laoer quickly looked at Madam Wu.
Madam Wu moved, and someone ran over and helped her up.
A trace of blood flowed down Mrs. Wu's forehead, but she slowly opened her eyes.
Then, when he saw Wu Bingsheng, his pupils shrank, his face changed drastically, and he crawled towards Wu Bingsheng.
"Asheng!"
Mrs. Wu rushed to Wu Bingsheng, her face full of fear and tears streaming down her face.
"Asheng, Asheng, how are you? Asheng, don't scare me..."
"Snap!"
Aunt Wu slapped her daughter-in-law hard on the face.
"It's all your fault, you unlucky star! You're the one who harmed Ah Sheng!" Aunt Wu screamed.
Mrs. Wu's face twisted and her body swayed after being hit by her mother-in-law.
"Mom... huffing and puffing... It's none of... Xiu'er's business... huffing and puffing..."
Wu Bingsheng was very anxious, his eyes widened and his breathing became even heavier.
Aunt Wu was so scared that she didn't dare to beat her daughter-in-law anymore.
Wu Bingsheng looked at his mother and then at his wife.
"Niuniu, Niuniu..." Wu Bingsheng said intermittently.
Someone immediately picked up the crying little girl.
Wu Bingsheng looked at his little girl with heartache.
Finally, his gaze fell on Su Laoer.
"Su, Second Brother Su... I, I beg you... huff huff huff... help me take care of, take care of my mother... huff huff huff... Xiu'er and her daughter..."
After saying that, he raised his hand tremblingly and reached out to hold Madam Wu's hand.
Mrs. Wu burst into tears and held Wu Bingsheng's hand with tears on her face.
Wu Bingsheng moved his hands with great effort, pushing Mrs. Wu's hand towards Su Laoer.
"Brother Su... please... huff huff..."
Wu Bingsheng stared at Su Laoer, as if waiting for Su Laoer's reply.
Su Laoer nodded solemnly with tears in his eyes.
"Bingsheng, don't worry, I will definitely help you take good care of Auntie and your sister-in-law and their daughter!"
"Thank you very much..."
Wu Bingsheng spoke intermittently, looking reluctantly at Aunt Wu, her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and their young daughter.
Finally, the light in his eyes disappeared and he slowly closed his eyes.
"Son!"
Aunt Wu let out a shrill cry.
Madam Wu closed her eyes and fainted.
Seeing this, the people around were all filled with sympathy and pity.
Someone sighed and said, "Beauty is a disaster. Wu Yayi married a beautiful wife. He was originally very envied, but now he has lost his life..."
"What do you mean?" someone asked in confusion.
"Did you see that? That butcher Wang, whose two wives have died, now comes here every day to drink tofu pudding. He even molested the Wu family's daughter-in-law twice and was beaten by the Wu yamen runner. He didn't behave himself for long, but today he got drunk and came back with a butcher knife..."
"So that's what happened. No wonder the mother-in-law beat her daughter-in-law just now. She's really an unlucky person."
"Don't say that. That daughter-in-law is also a pitiful person. It's all because of that butcher Wang's dirty heart..."
"Having said that, if I didn't have such a striking daughter-in-law, my son wouldn't have died."
"Those stinky men have bad intentions, how can they blame me for being pretty..."
"The Wu family is truly pitiful. Now that their son is dead, they don't even have a grandson. Doesn't that mean their family line is cut off?"
"I'm afraid I can't keep my wife..."
People were discussing the matter. Some sympathized with Aunt Wu, some scolded Butcher Wang, and some even suggested that Aunt Wu's appearance was a sign of disaster...
In short, there are many different opinions.
A murder occurred in the county town, so County Magistrate Zheng naturally tried the case immediately.
However, there is nothing to review.
The case was clear and straightforward. Butcher Wang coveted the beauty of Madam Wu. When he was drunk, he took a butcher knife and ran to the Wu family's shop to tease Madam Wu. As a result, he was bumped into by Wu Bingsheng. Butcher Wang, who was drunk, drew his knife on Wu Bingsheng.
Butcher Wang was directly sent to death row.
Su Laoer stayed in the Wu family to help deal with Wu Bingsheng's funeral arrangements.
only--
"It's all your fault! You're the one who killed my son! Give me back my son's life..."
Aunt Wu's sharp curses, accompanied by Mrs. Wu's sobbing, could be heard from time to time.
Su Laoer was sad and had a headache.
