Chapter 54 Shaomai (3)
"That's enough!" When Li Ruizhi saw this, he couldn't help but speak out and choked up, "Don't... don't look at it! I killed the person, I..."
A slight sigh sounded. Even though it was inaudible, Li Ruizhi heard it all at once. He looked at Mrs. Yan and murmured: "Qingqing..."
Mrs. Yan tied her cloak again, and the tight cloak blocked the prying eyes of others.
"When I married Yan San, I thought that no matter what, he would not dare to treat me as long as my father and brother were around. But I didn't expect that, I was wrong." Mrs. Yan said, "I still remember the first time after we got married that he was exposed I knelt down in front of my father and brother, trembling with fear, and promised again and again that I would never do it again."
"But after he went out, he changed his face, sneered at me, and walked away." Mrs. Yan smiled bitterly, "I think it was also at that time that he discovered what kind of people my father and brother were. They will save their face." He will not allow me to reconcile, and must allow Yan San and I to pretend to be a harmonious couple before we become adults."
"After Yan San knew that my father and brother would not allow me to reconcile, he became even more aggressive. Once, he met me when he came back from outside. I saw the poor girl he had brought back, and I couldn't help but say a few more words, and he They attacked me." Mrs. Yan said, "I have never encountered anything like this since I was a child. At that time, my instinctive reaction was to go back to my parents' house for help."
"My mother comforted me, and my father and brother called Yan San over and scolded me. Yan San knelt in front of my father and brother and promised again that he would not do it again." Mrs. Yan shook her head and laughed at herself, "How could it not be possible? After that, every time So, my mother comforted me and applied medicine on me, my father and brother called him over and scolded him, and Yan San promised that he would do the same thing as before when he returned."
"Gradually, I also understood that what is really important in the eyes of my father and brother is not me, but face. The good work of Yan San, the censor Zhongcheng, is related to their face. Compared with this, I am not worth mentioning." Mrs. Yan said .
"From the very beginning when he attacked the people around me to when he started beating me, he tested the limits of my father and brother again and again. After confirming again and again what kind of person my father and brother were, he... attacked me. "Mrs. Yan said with a bitter smile, "They don't like brothel girls. They like to rob poor girls who are born in poverty and have no family to rely on. They just like to see those poor girls resist in anger, or commit suicide by hitting pillars, or try their best to bite them. It looks like he's giving them a bite of meat. It's like hunting. The more fiercely the prey resists, the happier it becomes."
"Later on, even Yan San, a girl from a poor family, felt a little boring, so..." Mrs. Yan shrank, her whole body crumbling, "then he set his sights on me, a woman from an official family. He felt that it was more exciting. "
"My whole body... was infected at that time." Mrs. Yan lowered her eyes and bit her lower lip. "After the infection, Yan San was shocked and quickly cut off contact with the sick friend. He also said that he was thankful that he was not infected."
Tears fell from Mrs. Yan's eyes: "He dragged me into the mire, and then stepped on me to step on me."
"Not only that, he was so proud that he asked me to go back and tell my father and brother." Mrs. Yan reached out and grabbed a corner of the cloak, trembling. "He knows better than me what kind of people my father and brother are. If he knows that I am Yi Yi... I'm afraid that not only won't I make the decision for me, but I will also despise me and bring shame to them. I'm afraid that if the news is leaked, I'm afraid that even Yan San will expect me to commit suicide as soon as possible so that they can clear their names!"
As for how she, a perfectly good person, could have suffered like this, who was the culprit of all this, and how could her father and brother, who now relied on Yan San, report on Yan San?
"I want to kill Yan San, even in my dreams!" Mrs. Yan looked up, her tearful eyes filled with hatred, "I tried hiding the golden hairpin to kill him, but... I was so useless, and I haven't even gotten close to him yet. He was discovered. Since then, he has been wary of me, making it impossible for me to do anything."
"I am the Ruizhi we met again at that time." Mrs. Yan looked at Li Ruizhi.
When they met again, he was still waiting for her, but she was already in a mess.
After learning what happened to her, he jumped into the quagmire alone.
"The friend who caused me to get sick contracted the disease and was abandoned by his family. It was easy for the two of us to succeed. I used a dagger to insert more than a dozen holes in that man, but it still couldn't relieve the hatred in my heart." Yan Madam gritted her teeth and said, "But... it's not just him, Yan San and the others... I hate all of them."
Therefore, there was the subsequent water ghost case.
"The original plan of the two of us was to kill Yan San and Zhang Zeduan and blame everyone's death on Lu Qing. It just so happened that he also had a big feud with Yan San and others. But after thinking about it later, I felt that Lu Qing He was also a poor man, so he changed his plan. After killing Yan San, blame everything on Zhang Zeduan," Mrs. Yan said, "As for the Duke of Huai'an, he has a special status and is related to Ruizhi. If he kills him or causes trouble and suspicion, we will prepare another way for him to die.”
At this point, no one can escape.
But killing someone is killing someone, and the law will not tolerate mercy.
Liu Yuan frowned, after hearing what happened to Mrs. Yan, and then looking at the tortured maids, and thinking about Zhang Zeduan who was about to be acquitted, he felt a little sour in his heart for some reason.
Is this Zhang Zeduan going to be let go like this?
Just as he was thinking this, the guard hurried in from outside, walked up to Lin Fei and whispered a few words in his ear. Lin Fei glanced at everyone, turned around and walked out.
Liu Yuan quickly followed, and when he followed Lin Fei to the innermost cell, he was shocked.
Zhang Zeduan's fat body was lying on his back on the ground, with a hairpin inserted in his neck. The maid Huang Ying who was the first to accuse Zhang Zeduan of murder was sprayed with blood on her face. She fell there and looked at Zhang Zeduan's The corpse laughed "haha".
"What's going on? How did the person get out?" Lin Fei looked at the scene in front of him and asked the jailer on the side.
The jailer said: "This is not Zhang Zeduan's cell, but Huang Ying's cell. It is Zhang Zeduan who came out to look for Huang Ying."
Lin Fei said "Hmm" and looked at Huang Ying. Several finger pinch marks were clearly visible on her plain white neck.
"Zhang Zeduan is a man who likes martial arts. He actually knows how to use iron wire to open locks. When I was not paying attention, he opened the lock and came to look for Huang Ying. He probably wanted to question and retaliate against her," the jailer said, pointing to the pinch marks on Huang Ying's neck. , "Who would have expected that this maid would stab her in the neck with the pearl hairpin secretly hidden in her sleeve."
This hairpin cannot be saved by gods, so why should we look for a doctor?
Lin Fei fell silent, and the jailer continued: "I heard from the three maids that Huang Ying had a sister named Huang Oriole, and they were sold to Zhang Zeduan together. Oriole was tortured to death a few years ago and was hastily buried. Even the bones were not found in the mass graves, so Huang Ying hated Zhang Zeduan deeply. She resisted the most fiercely and was beaten the hardest."
"I knew he would come looking for me," Huang Ying, who had fallen on the ground and had had enough laughter, sneered and said, "I brought someone to testify against him. With his temperament, he will definitely hate me and will take advantage of the jailer's absence. When I noticed him, he used his lock-picking skills to come over and question me. So, I hid a sharpened hairpin in my sleeve and waited for him to come over!"
Looking at Zhang Zeduan's fat body on the ground, Huang Ying said "Bah!" and laughed again. She smiled but couldn't help but shed tears.
"This beast deserves to die, but my sister will never come back!"
