Chapter 62 Beating Mrs. Wu
In the Ministry of Justice prison.
Wei Shiran grabbed Mrs. Wu's hair and slammed her against the wooden railing.
Hitting the wooden railing will cause a dull pain in the head, but there will be no bleeding and no death.
Mrs. Wu didn't expect that Wei Shiran, a wife of an official, would be so disregarding of her image and face and attack her like a shrew.
She was in so much pain that she desperately called for help from the jailer.
However, the jailer was stopped outside the door by several young women brought by Wei Shiran, but it didn't mean he really couldn't do anything to those women.
The tragic death of the National Protection Army had caused a lot of uproar. Anyone with a bit of blood in his veins would look down on Wu Yuchu's actions, not to mention that the shift leader on duty today was a family member of a National Protection Army soldier who had died tragically.
As long as no one died, at most they would be fined some of their salaries. The money Wei Shiran gave them was enough to cover their salaries for several years.
"Stop it! There's no evidence to prove it was my master who did it. Every wrong has its perpetrator, every debt has its creditor. Go find the person who actually killed your brother."
Madam Wu cried out, "I am just a woman in a deep house. Why are you making things difficult for me? His Majesty has not convicted my Wu family. What right do you have to attack me?"
"Why do you know so well? God is watching what you do. Liu He, you will be punished."
Liu He was Mrs. Wu's maiden name.
Wei Shiran stabbed the flesh around her waist with an embroidery needle. "The evidence you seek will come sooner or later. Today's evidence is just an appetizer. When the truth comes out, I, Wei Shiran, will grind you to dust. No one in your Wu family will have a peaceful end."
She believed Qingyan. Qingyan said that it was the Wu family who did it, so it was the Wu family who did it. Qingyan made the matter public, forcing the emperor to put Liu He in prison. It can be seen that Liu He was not innocent.
She believed that Qingyan would have evidence sooner or later.
She came to the prison today and beat Liu He up, which was indeed not worthy of being seen in public, but so what? What Liu He suffered today was not even one ten-thousandth of what Qing Yan had experienced, nor was it even one ten-thousandth of what those twenty thousand heroic souls had experienced.
Thinking of this, she exerted even more force.
Mrs. Wu was not punished in the Ministry of Justice, but fainted from the pain at the hands of Wei Shiran.
Yan Lan, who was traveling with them, took out a water bag from her waist and splashed it on Mrs. Wu's face. She wrapped her hands with cloth, punched Mrs. Wu's painful area with one punch, and then punched her front teeth with another punch.
Mrs. Wu spat out a mouthful of blood, and her two front teeth fell to the ground. Yan Lan punched her in the jaw again.
It was her father who taught her how to hit someone harder, and it was her brother who taught her how to knock out someone's teeth if she could do so without hurting her own hands.
All of Mrs. Wu's teeth were knocked out. Finally, Yan Lan wiped the blood from Mrs. Wu's mouth with a handkerchief, and then took out a pig hair razor and shaved the hair on Mrs. Wu's head clean.
Women value appearance the most. Madam Wu killed 20,000 national defense soldiers. Wasn’t it just for wealth and glory, and for dignity?
She wanted to see how she could behave decently.
Miss Chang said that she had to force Mrs. Wu to become unable to sit still before she would go find the person behind her. Seeing Mrs. Wu shaking with anger because her hair was shaved, she knew that this was the right thing to do.
Mrs. Wu fainted three times from the pain and didn't utter a word.
But what does it matter whether she says it or not.
After Wei Shiran knocked the man unconscious for the fourth time, he cleaned up the blood that Mrs. Wu vomited in prison and waited outside the cell with a few women.
Upon hearing the news, Lord Wang, the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice, came hurriedly.
Wei Shiran bowed and spoke first, "Sir Wang, my servants learned from Madam Wu's servant Chen that it was Wu Yuchu who sent Wu Xinyuan, the magistrate of Yu County, to hunt down Yan Qing three years ago.
Wu Yuchu always obeyed Mrs. Wu's arrangements in political affairs, as Mrs. Wu was the one who really gave the orders.
The couple accepted 50,000 taels of silver from the Beiling Army, secretly allowed the Beiling Army to enter the country, and ambushed the National Protection Army. This was treason.
After I learned about this today, I wanted to find that Nanny Chen to ask her clearly, but I found out that Nanny Chen died of poisoning after Madam Wu was imprisoned. This must have been Madam Wu who killed her to silence her.
A'di fought bloody battles for many years and finally defeated Wudan, protecting the territory of Wei from invasion, but he died in the frame-up of such a villain.
As her elder sister, I was so angry that I hit Madam Wu twice. But as a woman, I also knew that Your Majesty was wise and would definitely give justice to the Wei family and the Weiguo soldiers who died tragically, so I didn't dare to do anything to her.
I also ask the officials in the Ministry of Justice to promptly extricate her from the truth of what happened back then. I was wrong to hit her, and you can punish me according to the laws of the Wei Dynasty."
This statement was passed on to her by Wei Qingyan on her way to the Ministry of Justice, but she added some things to it.
Before Lord Wang could even open his mouth, he was left speechless by her words.
According to the laws of the Wei Dynasty, those who fight can only be sentenced if they cause bloody injuries.
He glanced at Mrs. Wu and saw that although her face was pale and her forehead was bruised, there was no blood on her body.
How to punish according to the laws of the Wei Dynasty?
Although Mrs. Wu had her head shaved bald, she did not suffer any head injuries. This just goes to show that this is a fighting tactic used by women in common folk.
He could only say calmly, "Mrs. Gong is sad about the incident with the Protector General. I understand, but there is no evidence to prove that it was Mrs. Wu who did it. Mrs. Gong, please don't embarrass me again about something like this today.
As for Madam Gong's mention of Nanny Chen, I will report this to the Minister and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Someone will then be sent to the Gong residence to bring the servant to the Ministry of Justice for questioning. Madam Wu will also conduct a thorough interrogation."
"Then I would like to thank you, Your Majesty, on behalf of my younger brother and the twenty thousand heroic souls who have defended our country." Wei Shiran wiped the corners of his eyes. "They must be waiting in heaven for Your Majesty and the other lords to give them justice."
Minister Wang had an unfathomable expression on his face. He nodded and gestured for them to leave.
Wei Shiran bowed slightly, then turned and left, hatred in her eyes.
No wonder Qingyan knew that she came to the Ministry of Justice to cause trouble. Not only did he not stop her, but he also taught her a set of excuses.
The case was supervised by the Crown Prince and investigated by the Ministry of Justice, but Mrs. Wu had been in prison for a few days and was in good health, so the Ministry of Justice had no intention of using torture.
How could she get the truth without torture? She finally understood why Qingyan concealed his identity after returning. The real culprit behind this was definitely not an ordinary person.
As Wei Shiran and his group walked out of the Ministry of Justice, the news spread that Wu Yuchu and his wife had accepted 50,000 taels of silver from Beiling, that Mrs. Wu had never been tried after being imprisoned, and that Nanny Chen had been poisoned to silence her.
The students gathered at the palace gate again.
Wei Qingyan sat quietly in the courtyard.
She was waiting, waiting for Mrs. Wu to move, waiting for Mrs. Wu to ask for help.
Unexpectedly, the person Mrs. Wu sought help from was the Minister of Revenue, Yu Zhengde.
The person who was most surprised after hearing the news was Gong Mingcheng.
"The Yu family is only loyal to the court and the people. My cousin shouldn't be the one who conspired with Wu Yuchu."
In other words, even if the emperor wanted the Yu family to do something immoral, they would not be willing to do so.
Wei Qingyan also heard similar words from his father.
But since Mrs. Wu found Yu Zhengde, there must be a reason, and she should go to Yu's house.
But before she could go to Yu's house, Yu Liangzhi brought Yu Zhengde to the house.
