Chapter 93: Confession
How can you be so smart!
But he had originally decided to kill someone in the middle of the night, so why did he suddenly change his mind and decide to do it during the day?
If he did it in the daytime, someone would see him. There was no way he would do that.
Why on earth?
Du Youchang also defended himself: "We really didn't kill anyone. We really just came to observe the situation."
Song Chuman said in a resounding voice, "Then was the one chasing us siblings just now a beast?"
Du Fugui immediately became angry, "Who are you calling a beast?"
Song Chuman said with a mature look on his face: "Whoever is responsible is the one who is responsible. You are such an idiot. You are admitting your guilt without being asked."
Du Fugui's face changed and he was extremely annoyed.
How could he say that?
Seeing the situation becoming increasingly unfavorable for them, Du Lizheng glanced at everyone within his sight and threatened viciously, "Do you know who my son-in-law is? He's the magistrate of Yuanshu County. If you dare to treat me like this, I'll have him increase your taxes, make you do heavy labor service, and have you all imprisoned and beaten with sticks. You won't be able to return home for at least eight or ten years!"
Xiao Xuanli, his master and his servant frowned at the same time. This guy must have been so angry that he could even say such childish words?
However, Du Lizheng's words successfully frightened the people of Qingyu Village.
Du Lizheng did have a daughter who married the magistrate of Yuanshu County.
Although she was just a concubine, Du Lizheng often showed off to others, saying that she was extremely favored.
Maybe the county magistrate was persuaded by someone and might actually take out his anger on his father-in-law.
Xiao Xuanli said coldly, "If he had such courage, he wouldn't have to be the county magistrate anymore."
Du Lizheng saw that Xiao Xuanli spoke with the aura of a superior and brought many people with him. Although he was afraid, he still said with a brave face: "If you don't believe it, just try it."
Xiao Xuanli: "I really don't believe it. My subordinates and I saw everything you did just now, whether others saw it or not, we are enough to testify that you intended to kill the Song family."
Du Lizheng firmly refused to admit it: "I didn't kill anyone, you are wrongly accusing me. You and the Song family are in cahoots, your words don't count."
Xiao Xuanli snorted, "I don't care whether you admit it or not. Come, send them to the Yuanshu County government office and let the county magistrate conduct a thorough investigation. I don't think he dares to disrespect me."
Ziyuan immediately called a few people and prepared to take all four of them away.
But at this moment, two women came running over crying and shouting.
Du Lizheng's wife, Huang Hongmei, stood beside her husband and son. Looking at the onlookers, she cried out, "In broad daylight, the criminals kidnapped my son. What are you doing? Let my husband go!"
Du Youchang's wife, Li Dongshuang, also cried, "Yes, we are all from the same village. Please release my husband and children immediately. They would never do anything bad."
Song Chuman raised her eyebrows. These two were so shameless that they framed others without any evidence.
She is worthy of being the wife of Du Lizheng and Du Youchang.
Someone who was unaware of the situation and had good relations with Du Lizheng's family could not help but advise:
"Could there really be some misunderstanding here?"
"Yes, Du Lizheng is the head of our village. He has tried his best to make our lives better over the years. He is a good head."
"Du Lizheng is a very good person. He always helps out when there are any problems in the village. Last time, when my family was short of money, he even lent me a hundred coins."
