645 Xia He
Seeing that he didn't speak, Li Fan said with a smile: "Sir, as long as this person comes up, maybe he can prove my innocence! Could it be that the lord wants to insist that I kill someone? Or does the lord just want to accuse me of this crime? Add it to my head!"
Hearing Li Fan's words, Lu Tao raised his head suddenly.
I saw Li Fan looking at him with a smile, that handsome face, the smile did not reach the bottom of his eyes, it seemed that he was not smiling.
Lu Tao felt a little drum in his heart.
Looking around again, the people onlookers also looked at themselves curiously, and then looked outside. He knew in his heart that if the old woman who complained was not allowed to come up today, Li Fan was afraid that he would not obey, and he was afraid that he would also be criticized by these people.
Originally, his reputation in this Liujia Town was not very good. After another year or two, the court will come down and conduct tenure assessments for officials like himself. One of them is public opinion. My cousin was notorious for being a drag, and I can no longer offend the people like Li because of a widow.
Thinking of this, Lu Tao made up for Miao's proud figure in his mind again, and his mind became obsessed.
Thinking of this, Lu Tao tightened under the table, but fortunately it was under the table, and no one noticed.
Seeing that the surrounding voices were getting louder and louder, Lu Tao slapped the gavel again, and immediately fell silent: "Bring the plaintiff..."
"Bring the plaintiff..." Those yamen officers passed on Lu Tao's words, and then seeing the crowded audience outside, they spontaneously gave way, craned their necks curiously, and looked outside.
After a while, I saw a limping woman walking towards this side with her legs limping.
Everyone was very curious and guessed the identity of this person.
This man is so raw, but he has never seen it before!
Li Fan was also very curious, not knowing who the little woman in front of him was.
The woman wrapped her little feet and staggered into the courthouse, then knelt down with a plop. Perhaps she had never seen such a scene before, and the woman seemed a little scared.
"Who is this person kneeling?" Lu Tao saw that she was an old woman who had never seen the world. She looked like she was in her 60s. She was probably working all the time. This person's face was dark, and she was always suffering from the wind and the sun. Sun, looks very old.
And the clothes on this body, the patch is patched, and there are patches everywhere. I am afraid that only the left sleeve of this clothes is still a complete piece of cloth. I don't know how long it has been since the clothes were washed, and the whole body was shiny and dirty.
The old woman trembled in fright, and hurriedly bowed down, her voice trembling: "Caomin... Caomin Xia He..." After a half-sentence, it was like asking for Xia He? Everyone, you look at me, and I look at you.
The surname is Xia, shouldn't that be the Tutang Xia family a day away from here?
How did this old woman get here!
"Who are you?"
"Caomin... Caomin is... Miao Er's mother-in-law!"
"You fart, how could I have a mother like you!" Seeing that she was actually his mother, Mrs Miao quickly retorted.
After listening to Li Fan on the side, he guessed something and said with a smile: "Ms. Miao, do you want me to remind you again that you are Miao Er's second wife!"
After everyone heard it, they all understood.
Yeah yeah!
The mother-in-law who had a difficult childbirth before Miao Er was from Xiajia Village, Tutang Town!
When Miao Shi heard this, her face immediately turned green. Then he came back to his senses, and after looking at the woman, he took a few steps back as if he had seen a ghost.
Looking terrified!
After seeing Li Fan, he also guessed a lot in his heart. Looking at the two children beside Miao Shi, especially the older one among them, he was full of curiosity.
"You...what are you doing here?" Miao shivered, looking at the woman who claimed to be the mother of Xia Qiucao, and asked sharply.
But seeing the woman heard Miao's words, she roared sadly and sat down on the ground, crying loudly, "Sir, you must be the master of my autumn grass! Her death is wrong, she died. The injustice!"
Everyone was bewildered. This Xia Qiucao has been dead for three or four years. Why do you say she was wronged at this time?
The crowd whispered and pointed.
There was another commotion in the entire court, and coupled with the miserable cry of Xia He's cries, Lu Tao only felt upset, and always felt that something in his heart was going to deviate from his control.
Lu Tao was a little exasperated, and glared at the people above the court. The people who were watching the lively people were all silent and did not dare to speak, but they were all very curious.
The woman sitting in the middle of the court was crying loudly, crying while crying, "My family Qiu Cao was married to the Miao family for seven years, and she finally conceived a child, but the child died in one corpse as soon as she landed! My poor autumn grass, poor autumn grass!"
"Hmph, that's because that short-lived daughter of yours didn't have this life!" Miao shi said viciously on the side, with a fierce look in her eyes.
The woman was probably a little afraid of Miao, she flinched twice, and the crying stopped abruptly. She looked around and saw that everyone was looking at her indifferently. The woman thought that before she came, someone taught her In his own words, as long as he speaks according to his own words, he will definitely give his daughter justice.
He also said that at that time, his daughter was killed and killed, not because of dystocia at all, but because someone maliciously did it!
that woman for so many years
, I have always been brooding about her daughter's death. This time I heard someone say that her daughter's death was not a life, but a disaster. The woman became anxious and vowed to seek justice for Qiu Cao, not to let her daughter and The granddaughter died so inexplicably.
"My lord, please tell me!" The woman fell to her knees with a plop, and stopped crying. According to what others taught her, she poured out beans like beans in a bamboo tube.
"Sir, my family Qiu Cao married Miao Er seven years ago, and has always been diligent and diligent, as a wife and a daughter-in-law, but it was not until the second year of marriage that she had a body. ."
