The censor's wife pulled the quilt over her body and curled up inside, not daring to make a sound.
Censor Li Qingshan raised his bruised eyes and said angrily,
"Why did you break into my house?"
At this time, the people who had walked in through the front door also came over, including the servants in the mansion. Everyone was a little confused when they saw this scene. What happened? Why did it become like this?
Captain Wu said,
"Lord Rongfu discovered a thief and chased him to your house. We were afraid he would escape, so we followed him in. We heard sounds of beatings in your house, and fearing he might hurt your family, we broke in. Who knew..."
"Since it wasn't the thieves who beat her, then the injuries on her body were all caused by the Imperial Censor? Why did you do such a murderous thing to the lady, and even covered her mouth and nose with your hands? Are you afraid that she won't die?
"And these injuries don't look like they happened just once or twice. They're purple and blue, obviously accumulated over the years. Are you responsible for all this? What did the lady do wrong that you have to beat her all the time?"
"Shut up, it's none of your business to meddle in my family affairs!"
In front of so many people, he was extremely embarrassed today. The key point was that she exposed her atrocities in front of everyone.
"I can't interfere in your family affairs, but you might be guilty of manslaughter. I can't guarantee that if you get carried away and kill someone, you might suffocate him to death."
This is said to the woman in the quilt. This is not an exaggeration, it is very possible.
The woman was so frightened that she was shaking so violently that you could see her trembling even through the quilt.
"Nonsense! Her injuries were caused by a fall. She just accidentally made me angry today. I never hit anyone. I have always loved my wife!"
When he heard about manslaughter, he immediately put on a good persona. Indeed, on the surface, he was a good husband and a good father recognized by everyone, who respected and doted on his wife and cared for his children.
The concubine is not allowed to have a child until now. It is he who does not allow it, not the lady. The concubine is just serving.
The Censor's Wife had heard her husband say before that he loved her and that he was just accidentally irritated, so she couldn't help but think nothing of such words. But when she heard it again today, she felt a little chilled.
All the marks on her body were left by him. He always said that he didn't mean it and that he loved her. He would indeed be nice to her for a few days afterwards, especially nice, which would always make her forget the pain.
But after hearing the word manslaughter, and then hearing my husband say that it was caused by his fall, a chill swept through my body.
How many times had she felt like she was going to die? It wasn't just the pain, but the feeling of suffocation. What if she really suffocated to death one of those times?
Would he also fabricate something that happened to him to cover up the fact that he killed someone? Her children wouldn't know, her parents wouldn't know, and he would still be the good husband that everyone praised.
Every time everyone gets together, they envy me for being so lucky to have such a husband. I don't have to worry about favoring concubines or bothering illegitimate sons and daughters.
In the end, no one will know if I die in his hands. Do I really have to forgive him and continue this fake life?
"There are only zero and countless times to hit someone. After this one time, there will be countless times."
The censor's wife agreed with what he said. The first time she was beaten, she wanted to go back to her parents' home to complain about him, but he coaxed her into silence. As a result, it happened again and again until now.
"The biggest fear is losing control. If I overdo it, the consequences will be..."
"Shut up! My wife knows what kind of person I am, and so does everyone else. Don't use your tricks to slander me!"
Oh, of course your wife knows, he’s a domestic violence man.
"Did I see a ghost today? You're slandering me!"
He was beaten, but he was very harsh.
The Censor's wife kept thinking about what Bai Zhiyue said about manslaughter. She couldn't control herself and became more and more scared the more she thought about it.
"I don't care what you do. You're the one who caused me to not catch the thief. Humph!"
Bai Zhiyue pretended to be angry and left the room, then suddenly ran in another direction.
"The thief is running that way."
Everyone followed after her.
There were two concubines living in this courtyard. She rushed into the house and pulled them out.
"Quickly leave the room, there's a thief in the yard!"
When he pulled them out, he accidentally pulled off their sleeves. There were clear marks of being beaten and bitten on their arms.
Li Qingshan is such a piece of shit. It looks like he's bitten until he bleeds. There's a row of clear dog tooth marks on his skin, and I don't know what's wrong with the parts of his body that can't be seen.
Now everyone is looking at him. Can he still explain?
"Oh, I'm sorry. The material of this dress is not very strong. It will break if you use too much force on it. I didn't mean to do that. I will send you two new sets tomorrow."
Then look at him
"Did you drop these too?"
Li Qingshan's eyes turned red with anger, and his face was covered with bruises and bruises, looking particularly ferocious.
He finally understood what was going on. What was this about chasing thieves? It was just a deliberate attempt to cause trouble.
Congratulations on guessing correctly, no prize!
"Lord Rongfu, please leave. My small Imperial Censorate has no room for a giant like you!"
"You're too kind. I can't speak the same language as Buddha, I'm just a little better than you!"
Captain Wu also knew that she had been tricked by Lord Rongfu today. She came here to expose Censor Li and let her people serve as witnesses. She also made it a formality. She was not barging in recklessly, but came here to catch a thief.
But I have to say that Lord Rongfu did a good job. His wife often talked about how good Censor Li was to her, always saying that she couldn't compare to him. Humph!
Go back and help him spread the word
After leaving, Bai Zhiyue did not return home, but turned around and found a place to hide for a while.
After everyone left and fell asleep again, she returned to the Censorate.
Li Qingshan couldn't sleep at this time, so he went to the front yard and overturned the house he lived in.
Thinking about what Minister Zhao said today when he advised them to withdraw the memorial and come to the house to apologize, it seemed that he must have been tortured before saying that!
Naturally, he listened to Minister Wan. If Minister Wan said not to report, then he would not report. Although he agreed to withdraw, he did not take it seriously. After all, he thought he had no leverage. He did not expect that even his hobby would be discovered by her.
Now his reputation is gone. The reputation he spent twenty years to build is destroyed. Thinking about the comments he will face in the future, he wants to kill someone.
His violent tendencies are already very serious. If he continues like this, it is only a matter of time before he kills one or two people in the backyard.
His wife ran back to her parents' home overnight. She was so scared that she didn't dare to wait for even a day.
Bai Zhiyue felt relieved when she saw the woman leave. It was hard for her, a killer, to still be thinking about how to persuade her to leave this violent man. It seemed that she had awakened.
Afterwards, she searched everywhere for Li Qingshan's property. Although it was not as much as those families, he still had some wealth after being an official for so many years.
The women's dowries and private property were not touched, but everything in his house and private storehouse was taken away, including the kitchen and granary, which were all cleaned out, leaving only a few pieces of clothing for him.
