In a life-or-death situation, Tao Yaoyao did not rule out the possibility that she would lie in order to survive.
But he would not completely deny her statement just because of this speculation, so he asked, "Do you have any evidence? Or is there someone who can testify for you?"
Seeing that she didn't speak, Tao Yaoyao had to remind her, "If you can't prove what you said, you will be taken to the food market later.
The law will not let go of anyone who does evil, and certainly it will not wrongly accuse a good person. "
"I have witnesses." Mrs. Li pointed at the housekeeper anxiously, but the housekeeper hesitated and refused to talk about it.
After Mrs. Li saw what he meant, she immediately became anxious, so she rushed forward, grabbed his clothes and said anxiously, "You were there when my wife died, why didn't you explain.
Don’t you also hate the master and wish he died without a burial place? Now is the best opportunity, why don't you say it? As long as you say it, the master will really never come back. Your revenge can be avenged. "
Mrs. Li spoke loudly, but the housekeeper lowered his head and remained silent.
After Tao Yaoyao and Xie Lan looked at each other, they called the guards and took Mrs. Li out. Mrs. Li refused to leave at first. She struggled and made a fuss, but she was no match for the guards and was dragged out after a while.
After the room became quiet, the housekeeper knelt on the ground before they could speak.
"Your Majesty, Miss Tao, it's not that I mean to protect you. The reason why I don't say anything is because the people I hate include my wife."
"So, you not only want Master Li to suffer retribution, but you also want Madam to pay the same price." Although she understood his thoughts, Tao Yaoyao still wanted to know what happened.
Fortunately, the butler mentioned the matter before they could speak.
"My daughter... was only thirteen years old when she left last year." Speaking of his only daughter, the housekeeper's eyes were red and he was emotional. When he recalled how his daughter was killed, his eyes were filled with hatred.
"The master is a beast, but in order to protect his daughter, the old slave originally planned to risk everything. Who knew that at the critical moment, the madam led people into the old slave's house and locked him up, causing the old slave to not even see his daughter for the last time. None seen.
The old slave still remembers how sympathetic the servants were when they mentioned my daughter, but it’s a pity..."
The most painful thing in life is when a white-haired person gives a black-haired person a gift. The housekeeper knows who the person who killed his daughter is, but he has no way to take revenge and has to wait for him. I'm afraid not many people can understand this kind of pain.
But one code equals another.
What Mrs. Li did was indeed wrong, but it was least likely to lead to death. If the death of the first lady really had nothing to do with her...
"How come it has nothing to do with her?" The housekeeper said anxiously, fearing that Tao Yaoyao really believed Mrs. Li's words, "Everyone in the county knows that Mrs. Li is not in good health and cannot bear stimulation, let alone work.
She, Feng Cui, had been in the Yamen for more than a year at that time. She was fighting with his wife every day, how could she not know this.
If she said that Madam's death was unexpected, it might be true, but the reason why Madam was so seriously ill was not caused by her. Furthermore, she also drugged Madam.
The fact that Madam is alive is due to her good luck. What does that have to do with her? "
In the housekeeper's opinion, the wife's death is directly related to the current wife. After saying that, he was afraid that Xie Lan would let her go, and kept begging them to avenge the late madam or something.
"What about your master? Does his wife's death have anything to do with him?"
"Of course it's relevant." Speaking of this, the butler's eyes were full of pity, "My wife is very nice and treats us servants well, but the master likes beauty.
She prefers to listen to slander, so my wife has had a hard life these years. "
There was something the butler didn't say, that is, it might be a good thing that my wife passed away. Sometimes life is not happy, but death is a kind of relief.
After the sun rose, there were more people on the street. When they found that the county magistrate they hated so much was tied up at the entrance of the vegetable market, and there were people talking about the evil deeds he had done, they stopped one by one. Listen, when someone is angry, they will throw rotten eggs and rotten cabbage at him.
Soon the food market entrance was surrounded by water.
Mrs. Li was tied up next to Mr. Li. Although the things the scholar said had nothing to do with her, it was inevitable that they would be affected by whoever allowed them to stand so close.
At this time, a man rushed out of the crowd. He took a stone and hit Mrs. Li hard. Mrs. Li was hit on the head, and blood flowed from her head immediately.
The bloody appearance scared some people to stop, but the man refused to let go, "Bitch, I thought you were dead, but I didn't expect you to be a county magistrate.
But you are really a match made in heaven, both of you are equally evil-hearted. After the man finished speaking, he turned to the big guy and shouted, "Such scum don't deserve to live in this world. Big guy, help me and beat them to death." "
After the man finished speaking, he threw another stone on Mr. Li's head. When the government officials realized something was wrong, they quickly stepped forward to stop him. However, the people's anger was aroused to the highest point by this man.
All the government officials personally failed to suppress these people. When the man was about to hit Mr. Li again, Xie Lan appeared and had the man arrested.
"If you don't catch this corrupt official here, why are you arresting me, a common man?" The man said dissatisfied, "No wonder this corrupt official can be an official and even stay here for so many years. It's because of people like you who can't tell the difference between right and wrong. "
The man continued to encourage the people to stand on his side. Tao Yaoyao saw this and walked forward with a sneer, "Mrs. Li, do you know this person?"
Mrs. Li shook her head and stared at the man angrily, "I have never seen him. I don't know what nonsense he is talking about."
Tao Yaoyao turned around and looked over. The man said calmly to Mrs. Li, "It's already this time and you're still lying. Feng Cui, can't you tell the truth?"
The man looked abandoned, and the people looked at him and spoke for him. Even Tao Yaoyao and Xie Lan were targeted by these common people.
"Who are you? You don't look like locals from the way you are dressed."
"They can't be together with this dog officer."
"Who knows, anyway, whoever speaks for the dog officer now will be our enemy."
After the man finished speaking, all the people agreed. Tao Yaoyao had so many opponents. Even though she tried her best, she couldn't stop them and could only wait.
But this man cannot be let go.
"We arrested Mr. Li, and we also found someone to bring him to Caishikou. If you don't believe it, you can ask someone from the government office." Tao Yaoyao felt that it would be better to tell someone about your family status at this time than to tell the truth.
Furthermore, their identities should not be exposed, lest they attract more people who want to kill her.
