Chapter 80 Born Bad Maggot

Now it was Tang Sanshui's turn to be anxious: "Hu Gua! How dare you!!"

"Oh," Hu Gua said, "At this point, what else am I afraid of?"

He reached out and touched the wound from the snake bite, hissing in pain. Then, as if to risk everything, he changed from kneeling to sitting, and said slowly: "To be honest, although I am not a good person, compared to this Tang Sanshui, I can be considered a saint!! This guy... is a born bad maggot, cowardly and bad! He is always stirring up trouble!"

Tang Sanshui stretched his body anxiously and begged, "Hu Gua!"

County Magistrate Liu shouted coldly, "Shut up! If you dare to interfere with my trial again, I will punish you severely!"

Tang Sanshui was so frightened that he suddenly fell down, hitting his chin and biting his tongue. He cried in pain.

Hu Gua said: "Speaking of which, we know each other because I killed Zhou Laoqiao and he saw me burying the body..."

As soon as these words were spoken, the head of Jingui Village was stunned with astonishment.

Zhou Lizheng was surprised and said, "Lao Qiao treats you like his own son..."

Hu Gua's face flashed with discomfort, and he continued, "I was not in good health at that time, and I didn't have any martial arts skills. I couldn't kill him even if I wanted to, so I started chatting with him... Later, I felt that this man was stupid enough and not to be feared. I thought it would be good to keep him to talk, so I didn't kill him. Since then, the two of us have been in contact frequently."

The second brother, who was below, couldn't help but say, "We are birds of a feather!!"

Many people echoed: "We really are birds of a feather!"

Hu Gua didn't care. "At that time, he had just returned from the capital. He often told me that he had gotten into trouble because of a fight with someone for a prostitute. Fortunately, he was smart. As soon as he got home, he pretended to be sick. Then his mother protected him and didn't let him go out. Therefore, when the official sent someone, it could only be his brother who went..."

The crowd was shocked.

Hu Gua said: "It is said that when his brother came back, he was beaten up and vomited blood. It was very scary. Then he was afraid that his brother would pursue him, and he was also afraid that the man would come looking for him again. He was so scared that he dared not get well, so he kept pretending to be sick... Then his brother closed all his businesses to avoid disaster and returned to his hometown here."

"After a while, I heard that he was sick, so I went to see him. He didn't look sick, so I asked him and found out that his eldest brother had sold his family property and had a sum of money. He and the second wife had a fierce dispute in private. His second brother was very bold and said he wanted to do business. He took a few hundred silver coins and left. He didn't want to suffer a loss, so he pretended to be sick, thinking of filling his stomach first."

"As expected, once he got sick, his mother became concerned. He lay on the kang every day, doing nothing, waiting for food, all of which were delicious fish and meat. He said, this is a good idea, let's do it this way from now on."

Tang Sanshui had already buried his face in the ground like an ostrich, and even Mrs. Liu was dumbfounded by what she heard.

The noise below was getting louder and louder. Magistrate Liu knocked on the gavel and said, "Silence! Silence!"

Hu Gua laughed and looked at Tang Sanshui maliciously: "A few days later, Tang Sanshui suddenly came to me and asked me where he could buy poison. I asked him what kind of poison he wanted and who he wanted to poison... He said that Erlang from the first room was very good at studying, and his monthly tuition was two and a half taels, and he also had a lot of writing materials and books, which cost him twenty taels of silver a month. It was really a waste... His sister-in-law actually said that the family should be more frugal so that they could support him in his studies!"

The second brother below suddenly raised his head.

Everyone in the big room looked up in horror, unable to believe it.

The noise below gradually died down until you could hear a pin drop.

Hu Gua seemed very satisfied with the silence, and continued with a smile: "Tang Sanshui was very angry and complained for a long time. He was annoyed that he was taking food from his mouth, so he wanted to kill this Tang Erlang with a medicine that could not be found on him slowly."

"I helped him get some. When I asked him about it afterwards, he was very depressed. He said that he did take it, but that family was ill and they had to watch over the sister every day. Tang Erlang just picked up the bowl, and it happened that his sister seemed to move on the bed. He was nervous and dropped the bowl, so he only took a bite. The attack was not serious. His body was damaged and he couldn't go to school, but he survived. He also wasted a lot of money on medicine. It's better not to bother."

The crowd was silent for a long time, and suddenly there was a burst of noise.

Xinbao looked at his father and anxiously tried to cover his eyes with his little hands. After thinking for a while, he covered his ears.

Tang Qingshan hugged her and let her cover him quietly, but her little hands couldn't cover him at all! Hu Gua couldn't help but look over here.

When he heard it at that time, he didn't feel anything, but when he heard it again more than two years later, and just after what happened today... he suddenly felt a little cold.

Why?

It is said that this child was born without crying or moving, so why did she suddenly move at that moment? Was it to save her brother?

Hu Gua couldn't help but shudder, and his arrogance subsided. He continued, "Later, he said he didn't expect Erlang to stop going, and the first wife wanted to ask Silang to go, and it would cost money. But he didn't dare to drug him again, so he asked me to help him hide in a place where Tang Silang passed by, and when he came, I threw a hidden weapon... It looked like he was stabbed by a needle, but in fact he was poisoned. This poison cannot be cured by ordinary doctors, and Tang Silang became lame..."

The noise from below could no longer be suppressed.

Especially the people from Yutang Village, their faces were filled with horror.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

Granny Liu kept shouting in the village that Xinbao was a jinx and that the eldest wife's family had been plagued by misfortunes one after another... In the end, it was all man-made misfortunes? ?

Tang Sanshui got the sweetness from pretending to be sick, and then he kept pretending, even to the point of wanting to harm someone's life just to fight for a few bites of food? ? Others' going to school is not as important as a bite of food for him? Xinbao didn't know what to do, and suddenly let go of his father and rushed out, bumping into Hu Gua like a calf. Hu Gua was caught off guard and fell backwards, hitting the back of his head on the pillar, and hissed in pain.

Xinbao shouted, "I'll beat you! You big bad guy! Your words make my daddy sad!"

Tang Qingshan was startled and wanted to go forward quickly, but he knelt for so long that he couldn't get up for a while.

Madam Lin quickly went over and held her daughter in her arms, saying, "Sir, my daughter is young and does not know the etiquette. Please forgive me."

Magistrate Liu said kindly, "Your daughter is kind and filial. She knows how to protect her father at such a young age. What crime has she committed?"

He said to Hu Gua, "Keep talking!!"

Hu Gua sat back, rubbing the back of his head, and said, "He only took action these two times. He also asked me to find him some medicine that could slowly weaken people. I saw that the girl was plump and fair, and felt sorry for her, so I just let it go... That's all, nothing else."

County Magistrate Liu asked Tang Sanshui, "Do you agree with what he said?"

Tang Sanshui buried his face in the ground and pretended to be dead, not moving a muscle.

Madam Lin suddenly stood up and stepped on his beaten buttocks. Tang Sanshui howled miserably and jumped up suddenly.

Magistrate Liu acted as if he hadn't seen it and continued, "Tang Sanshui, do you plead guilty?"
