Chapter 104
An Yinheng nodded solemnly, "Yes."
Wen Lang frowned slightly and asked, "Is Mrs. Li's husband also insane?"
"Yes, Mrs. Li was sold to her husband by her parents. At first, she was also afraid that the child she would give birth to would suffer from madness, but the eldest was normal. Later, the eldest and younger were born, and it turned out that the younger was just like his father. "
"Looking at the age of her youngest son, Mrs. Li thought that the eldest son she gave birth to was a normal person. She was lucky enough to arrange a marriage for the youngest son. Unexpectedly, Zhou Huifang suffered from madness when she gave birth to her first child. After Zhou Huifang discovered that something was wrong with the child, she gradually collapsed and wanted to escape, but she was arrested twice before."
You Jingshu heard the words, his eyes narrowed slightly, and said: "The victim eventually became the perpetrator."
Wen Lang nodded, also deeply moved.
"How will this case be judged in the end?" Wen Lang was more concerned about this issue. Zhou Huifang's natal family was gone, but she dared to run away alone, so she should be very willing to reconcile with Li's youngest son.
An Yinheng sighed and said: "Mr. Li said that she and Zhou Huifang's mother wanted to marry Zhou Huifang back home as a daughter-in-law, but she didn't say clearly that she was the eldest son's wife. It was Zhou Huifang's mother and daughter who misunderstood. No wonder she. Although Zhou Huifang was very angry, it was indeed like this at the time, so the Li family does not constitute a fraudulent marriage, the most important thing is that their family is unwilling to reconcile."
His eyes darkened, and he said: "You know that I actually do not support reconciliation. Even if Heli doesn't have to go to jail now, it is not easy to reconcile, not to mention that the man's family firmly disagrees."
Wen Lang's eyes widened in disbelief, "So Zhou Huifang was brought back by Mrs. Li's mother and son?!"
"Yes." An Yinheng nodded.
Wen Lang instantly wanted to exhale fragrance, wouldn't this be driving people to death?
You Jingshu frowned and asked, "Master Zhao is in charge of this case?"
"It's him." An Yinheng was not surprised that You Jingshu was able to guess that among the people in the Ministry of Punishment, Zhao Shenchu was the most rigid. He believed that a woman's lack of talent is virtue, and the bounden duty of women and brothers is to be filial to their parents. Serving parents-in-law, obeying husband, anyone who wants to rebel against her husband, even brothers and women who are separated from each other are undisciplined and should be thrown into a pigsty.
"Then it's not surprising." You Jingshu and Wen Lang talked about this Zhao Shen and Mr. Zhao.
After Wen Lang finished listening, the veins on his forehead twitched. This must be a straight man with cancer, the kind that is terminally ill and is about to ascend to heaven.
"I received news that Li's mother and son and Zhou Huifang have gone home this morning." An Yinheng said.
Wen Lang remembered how scared Zhou Huifang was at the time, so he decided to visit Zhou Huifang tomorrow. Even if he couldn't leave, he could still help Zhou Huifang, so that Mrs. Li would not dare to torture Zhou Huifang as much as before.
It's a pity that Zhou Huifang couldn't wait for Wen Lang to visit her.
Early the next morning, Wen Lang heard a servant who went out to buy vegetables say that a woman was hanged to death at the door of a family this morning, with her tongue sticking out.
Wen Lang had an ominous premonition at that moment, and when he and You Jingshu rushed over, Zhou Huifang's body had already been taken down from the door.
Li's mother and son turned pale with fright, and the surrounding onlookers pointed at them one after another.
"It's the mother and son who drove people to death."
"Killing is punishing with life!"
"I live nearby, and Huifang is the most diligent. She gets up to work before dawn, and her mother-in-law beats and scolds her all day long. It's really vicious!"
"My god, I haven't enjoyed a good day. My husband is a lunatic, and a son is also a lunatic. If it were me, I wouldn't want to live."
"I heard that this case is being tried by Mr. Zhao, and Zhou Huifang will not be allowed to reconcile at all costs. He came back early yesterday morning, but he is gone this morning. I don't think Mr. Zhao can get away with it."
"Bah! If you want me to say that Mr. Zhao did the right thing, if you want to really reconcile and leave without fame, you might as well die cleanly."
"That's right, the most important thing for a woman is her reputation! Those women who are reconciled should be soaked in a pig cage. The tofu seller on West Street is dressed up all day long. No wonder her man wants to reconcile her, and he doesn't know how to hook- Who are you citing, this kind of slut should feel a little bit self-conscious."
"No, isn't her man a gambler and a drinker? Will he beat people when he's drunk? Or her brother beat up her man and forced her to make up with him. I see her life now. It's much better."
"No shame, you talk to her like this, don't you want to make up with your man too?"
Even if someone died, he still couldn't stop the gossip around him. Wen Lang frowned, took off the cloak on his shoulders, and walked over to cover the ragged woman, covering her hideous death.
Zhou Huifang didn't rest in peace, her eyes almost popped out of their sockets, it could be seen how much she hated.
"Could it be Zhou Huifang's concubine?"
"What concubine, take a closer look, she is a brother."
"My brother is so tall? My man is not as tall as him. I can't get married."
You Jingshu stepped forward and took Wen Lang's hand, and said, "Report to the officials."
"En." Wen Lang nodded.
Some people recognized You Jingshu, while others recognized Wen Lang as the kind-hearted person who helped stop Mrs. Li back then.
This incident did not cause much disturbance, but only created a hole in the hearts of a few people.
After An Yinheng learned about this, he sat there all afternoon with a dull expression. He suddenly realized that such things might not be rare. There might be tens of thousands of Zhou Huifang in this world.
But as a prince, he was helpless.
He began to fall into self-torture. If he went to Zhao Shenchu, or if he asked Li's family to agree to make peace with Zhou Huifang, would Zhou Huifang not die?
In the evening, You Jingshu came to him with a jug of wine, and the two sat under the eaves chatting casually.
You Jingshu told An Yinheng about Fang Liu'er, Ding Qiao, and Li Le, and also mentioned to him Miss Wang, who never gives up to women.
An Yinheng was very surprised. He had seen the people You Jingshu mentioned, but he never imagined that there were such stories behind them.
"They have indeed regained their lives now, but without Wen Lang's help, I don't think anyone would repent after they died. Even if Wen Lang sheltered them under their wings, they would often hear harsh and accusatory words." You Jingshu spoke eloquently.
"But they are not wrong." An Yinheng thought well, there are indeed tens of thousands of Zhou Huifang in many places in the world that he cannot see.
"Of course they are not wrong." You Jingshu took a sip of wine, and the clear light sprinkled on his white jade face, he stood up with his hands behind his back, with an air of independence from the world.
An Yinheng drank a little too much, looked at You Jingshu with erratic eyes, and suddenly felt a strong desire to change this situation.
He is the prince, the son of the dragon, and he was born to be more noble than others. If he is ignored, how can those who died in vain be avenged?
You Jingshu came in front of An Yinheng, stretched out his slender and strong hand to him, and stared at him calmly: "Want to do something big with me?"
An Yinheng looked at You Jingshu, his heart was pounding, as if he had suddenly returned to their childhood, secretly doing bad things together, novelty and excitement.
He grinned, showing a hearty smile, and grabbed You Jingshu's hand, "Okay."
……
The Fifth Prince, who never asked about government affairs, suddenly stood up and read a book published by Zhao Shen, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, and the Prince's gaze became gloomy immediately when he looked over.
Zhao Shenchu was the prince's uncle, An Yinheng had cooperated with the prince before, and now he suddenly read a copy of his uncle's book, and the prince's heart turned back and forth for a while.
Could it be that the fifth child also wants to compete with him for that position?
why?
The prince had a lot of thoughts in his mind, and finally fell on one person.
Could it be that because You Jingshu came back, Lao Wu felt that he had a helper?
Zhao Shenchu didn't think he was wrong at all, and argued in court, "Mrs. Zhou is married and even gave birth to a child for Wan Peng. The youngest son is innocent, how can he leave his mother?"
"Then Mrs. Zhou must have realized that she is not worthy of being a wife and a mother, and that she is so ashamed that she hanged herself."
Hearing these words, An Yinheng was furious, and he started to talk in detail, counting down those women and brothers who were tortured to death because of Zhao Shen's random sentence.
These were all he and You Jingshu went through the case files and found out one by one.
Although those brothers and women did not immediately hang themselves like Zhou Huifang did, they were either tortured to the point of being out of shape or tortured to death after a period of time.
After hearing one case after another, the officials in the court frowned.
The prince wanted to stand up and speak for his uncle, but his grandfather gave him a look and told him not to move, so the prince had to retreat.
His thoughts were the same as his uncle's, wives and husbands should regard their husbands as heaven. If wives and husbands could sue their husbands at will and reconcile with their husbands, wouldn't it be a mess.
In the end, Zhao Shenchu was dismissed for investigation and handed over to Dali Temple. The Zhao family did not have any objections throughout the process.
The emperor glanced at the Duke of Jin, and the Zhao family could hold their breath. Looking at the prince with depressed and irritable eyes, he was still too tender.
After coming down to court, An Yinheng was called by the emperor to the imperial study.
"Father." An Yinheng was still as casual as before when he entered.
"Yinheng, you are 21." The emperor put down the brush in his hand and said casually.
An Yinheng's heart tightened, and he replied without changing his face: "Father, I will remember you."
The emperor raised his head and looked at An Yinheng carefully. He was handsome, handsome, and clear-eyed. He was a good man.
"Is there a girl you like?"
"Father, I'm only 21. I haven't had enough fun yet. Don't worry about getting married." An Yinheng said coquettishly.
The emperor liked his unrestrained appearance. He seemed to have never looked at this son seriously, but now that he took a closer look, he was not inferior to his elder brothers.
"Aren't you and Jing Shu good friends? He and his husband have been married for almost two years. You don't know when the child will be born, and you still want to play."
coming.An Yin's perseverance froze, but he didn't show it on his face.
"Father, please don't talk about it. When Xiu Yi and the others went to play with Jing Shu, he and his husband were very tired. It made us want to rush out."
"Oh? What are you guys playing?" The emperor took a sip from his teacup, and when he lowered his eyes, his eyes darkened.
An Yinheng deliberately reported all the places they visited to the emperor one by one, and said some embarrassing things about Zhao Qiran, which sounded like a group of ignorant children.
These things were no different from what the emperor knew, and the emperor's doubts about An Yinheng gradually calmed down.
He asked seemingly unintentionally: "Did Jing Shu complain in front of you that I was unfair to him?"
