Chapter 505: The Truth of the Farmer's Spring
Seeing that Butler Liu still refused to plead guilty, Mu Yongnian ordered someone to drag him away. He did not believe that he would not be able to get the truth out of him then. He had plenty of ways to make him speak.
"My Lord, this man is indeed guilty. Can I say a few words?"
Just when someone was about to come up and pull Butler Liu away, Wang Hu, who was standing aside, spoke. He looked at Butler Liu with anger in his eyes.
When Mu Yongnian heard what Wang Hu said, he waved his hand, asked the people to leave, and asked him: "Do you know what he did? Do you have evidence? Or are you a witness?"
Su Zhi thought, no wonder Wang Hu said he would repay her kindness today. It turned out that he knew about the crimes of housekeeper Liu. It seemed that this man always wanted to do more good deeds. She just heard Liu Xiaosi talk about his elder brother and thought he was a good man, so she gave him some medicine, and it turned out that this helped her!
Liu Xiaosi's eyes widened as he said, "Brother! Do you know what this man has done? Tell me quickly! This man is so hateful that he actually wants to harm Madam Shen. We can't let him have a good ending!"
When Butler Liu and Aunt Liu Mu Weizhi heard what Wang Hu said, they became even more frightened. They wondered how such a person could appear again? What did this person know?
After glaring at Butler Liu, Wang Hu looked at Aunt Liu and Mu Weizhi. His eyes became even colder and angrier, and his fists were clenched so tightly that it looked like he was going to go over and beat them up.
Aunt Liu and Mu Weizhi hugged each other tighter in fear. They both felt that Wang Hu looked at them like enemies. They thought that this man seemed to know them, but they didn't know him at all? What kind of hatred did he have? Why did he come here to expose them now?
"Brother, please tell me quickly. What are you looking at these two people for? Did they also offend Madam Shen? Do you know that?"
Seeing that his elder brother was staring at Aunt Liu and the others without saying anything, Liu Xiaosi became anxious and asked him.
Mu Yongnian's eyes narrowed when he heard this, and he asked, "Wang Hu, is that so? Does what you are about to say also implicate their crimes? If so, just tell me, and I will make the decision for you!"
"Master!"
Aunt Liu looked at Mu Yongnian, saw his cold eyes, and her heart was also cold. She thought, does this man dislike her so much? In these years, except for that accident, he has never touched her once. Although he treated her well, he had no feelings for her. He only had his wife and children in his heart. Now there is only a little clue that he harmed Su Zhi. He is ruthless to himself, as if he can't wait to punish her. Did he also begin to suspect that the accident was actually designed by her? So he wanted her to be exposed?
Madam Liu no longer had the same obsession with Mu Yongnian as she did in those years. She only wanted her daughter to marry a better man than she did, and not be a concubine like herself, who was always neglected. But even this point was full of twists and turns. Did she really do something wrong back then?
Mu Weizhi also looked at Mu Yongnian pitifully and said, "Dad! This man didn't mention me and my aunt at all! Are you saying this to get him to frame me and my aunt?! Dad, do you really want me and my aunt to be guilty? You are my dad!"
Mu Yongnian said: "If you are not guilty, then people will not say anything. What are you afraid of?"
Aunt Liu and Mu Weizhi choked. They both despaired of Mu Yongnian. He must be really suspicious of them, mother and daughter, now.
Mu Yongnian's eyes were sharp. He had already seen that Madam Liu and his second daughter knew what Butler Liu had done, and Butler Liu was their servant. What hatred could he have with Su Zhi? Wasn't everything he did ordered by his master? Because of this, he had no sympathy for the mother and daughter.
"Wang Hu, just tell me everything you know."
"Yes. Lord, I will tell you everything I know. Even if I have to go to jail for it, I will tell you!" Wang Hu said to Su Zhi, "Madam Shen, I'm sorry. You may not remember the past, so you don't remember me, but I will never forget you in my life. I was one of the people who kidnapped you outside the city! I deserve to die, but you saved my life. I feel bad and come to apologize to you!"
Wang Hu knelt down as he spoke and kowtowed to Su Zhi three times in a row.
"Today I have told you everything I know. As for how to deal with me, it all depends on what Madam says!"
As soon as Wang Hu said this, everyone in the room was stunned. For a moment, there were so many people in the room, but it was completely silent without a single movement.
"Brother? What are you talking about? You harmed Madam Shen in the past? How could you do that?"
The first person to speak up and break the heavy atmosphere was Liu Xiaosi. He looked at Wang Hu in disbelief. Wang Hu had saved him in the past, but he had never thought that Wang Hu had actually harmed Madam Shen, a weak woman. However, thinking that he had done a lot of shameful things over the years, he could not say anything to Wang Hu. He just thought it was just a coincidence.
"Brother, you must tell me everything you know! Otherwise, I will be so sorry to my wife!"
"Yes, I will tell you everything."
Wang Hu knelt on the ground, looking at the people in front of him staring at him. He thought to himself that he could finally tell it all in front of Mrs. Shen. Even if he died, he could die comfortably. He wouldn't have to suffer from illness like he had all these years, feeling guilty. That would be simply worse than death.
Madam Mu looked at Wang Hu, staring at him and said, "You are the one who kidnapped my daughter back then?! Tell me, who told you to do that?! Who!"
Mu Yongnian quickly comforted his wife. He also stared at Wang Hu and said, "You just said that you knew about Liu Zhong's crimes. Could it be that what happened back then was also related to him? Tell the truth quickly!"
Butler Liu looked at Wang Hu and finally recognized him. He had sent someone to kidnap Su Zhi. After the kidnapping was done, he was afraid that the matter would be leaked, so he thought of killing people to silence them. Wang Hu was one of them. But wasn't he dead at that time? How come he is alive now? !
Aunt Liu and Mu Weizhi were also extremely scared. They thought this was bad. Even the old things from a few years ago were brought up. This was a living witness. If Butler Liu was destined to die, he would definitely confess them! Wouldn't that be the end of them?
Wang Hu recounted what happened that year.
It turned out that Wang Hu and a few others kidnapped Su Zhi and were going to kill her on the spot, but later they saw Su Zhi's beauty and thought of their big brother, so they wanted to give Su Zhi to this big brother. So they found a dead woman, burned her body, and tore a small piece of cloth from Su Zhi's body, making it look like the cloth was not completely burned, so that people would think it was Su Zhi.
"Then we took you, Madam Shen, to look for the eldest brother. We never expected that someone would snatch you away on the way. We chased after them because we were afraid that we would die if you ran back home. We chased them for hundreds of miles. We finally caught up with you in Qingjiang County. There was a big river in front of you, and you jumped in. We really didn't expect you to jump in at that time."
Wang Hu knelt on the ground and said this, not daring to look at the person in front of him. He was with a group of people back then, and he did whatever they did. He didn't want to kill Su Zhi at first, so it was he who came up with the idea of sending her away, but he didn't expect that she would die in the end. Su Zhi was so fragile and pitiful at the time, and after some days, he already felt like she was his sister, and it was very painful to see her die in front of him, especially when Su Zhi cursed them before she jumped into the river, and he was worried about her.
Su Zhi thought that this was connected to what the fake Taoist said. It turned out that this was the original Su Zhi's experience. It was really pitiful. She didn't die after jumping into the river, but eventually got sick and died of a high fever. She traveled through time at that time.
Shen Zian held Su Zhi's hand and looked at Wang Hu with cold eyes. Although he was able to marry his wife because of them, otherwise, with his wife's noble birth, he might never see her in his life, let alone marry her. But he still hated what this man did to his wife. He would rather never meet his wife in his life than let her suffer these things.
When Mrs. Mu heard about her daughter's tragic experience, she burst into tears again. Mu Yongnian's eyes turned red as he looked at Su Zhi. He thought that his daughter still couldn't remember the past. It showed how serious her illness was and how scared she was. That's why she has become so strong now. It's because she suffered too much back then!
"Are you saying that it was this Liu Zhong who approached you back then?"
Shen Zian asked. He looked at Liu Zhong as if he was looking at a dead person. Liu Zhong shrank back in fear. He found that this Uncle Shen's eyes were even more terrifying than those of the Marquis.
"This guy is slandering me! I don't even know him! You guys brought him here! You all want to frame me!"
Liu Zhong was frightened by the looks of Shen Zian and Mu Yongnian, and he was even more unwilling to admit it.
Wang Hu sneered and said, "Butler Liu! When we were returning to Beijing, we were ambushed and killed on the way! Did you do it? If I hadn't been alert and ran fast, I would have become a wandering ghost by now! You think you are invisible, but I knew that you were the one behind us! I know who you sent to kill us. No matter how powerful those two people were, I still killed them. They had your stuff on them! Don't you know? They wanted to make another fortune from you! But they died in my hands! When the time comes, just dig those things out of the ground to prove your crime!"
"You stole those things! They have nothing to do with me!"
Butler Liu is now certain of one thing: everything you said was a lie, and everything in your hands was stolen from me. He thought that Madam Liu held the lives of his family members in her hands, and he did not want to plead guilty easily.
I'm a few minutes late and the backstage can't log in. Sorry. I'll try to be earlier tomorrow.
