Chapter 481 Witness ([-])

"Ms. Jiang gave me a total of 800 taels of silver and asked me to leave the capital and hide for a few years. So I went back to my hometown, spent 200 taels to build a house, and asked my son for a wife.

The rest didn't move, and I was going to save it for pension money, but something happened. "Grandma He said dejectedly.

People from the Huo family came to her, how dare she not tell the truth?

I just hope that after confessing to the heart and soul, the Zong family will no longer pursue it, and Amitabha will be the only one.

In the final analysis, her crime is not too serious, and she will die, not to mention that Jiang Nuan has promised her that as long as she is willing to tell the truth, she will intercede with the Zong family for her.

"You son of a bitch, you must have been bought by her!" Mrs. Meng is the best at biting back, "You three aunts and six wives, of course, whoever is rich and powerful will be by your side."

"Mrs. Jiang, it's a shame for you to say that. I personally delivered the daughter of your second lady.

You insisted on me saying that the baby was a brother, and you gagged me with money. "Grandma He said, "It's time to go to court, do I dare to lie? "

"As long as the money is enough, what lies are you afraid to tell?" Meng sneered, "I asked you if you have any evidence? Otherwise, the red mouth and white teeth, right and wrong are just between your mouth and your mouth."

"This... How dare I lie about this?! Even if you lend me eight guts, I don't dare!" Mrs. He blushed with anxiety.

Meng's heart was proud, Mrs. He just said that she didn't dare to lie, it was obvious that she had no evidence.

I didn't even fall into her hands at all.

"You don't dare to lie? Then why did you say you lied at the beginning?" Meng asked her forcefully, "It would be best to go to court, when the time comes, all of you treacherous bastards who framed officials and ladies will be punished with felonies!"

"Mrs. Huo..." Mrs. He looked at Jiang Nuan for help.

"You go down first!" Jiang Nuan said to her, "You just remember to tell the truth no matter what."

"Uncle Zong, Aunt Zong, there are a few witnesses in the second batch, let them come up together." Jiang Nuan said.

"Okay." The Zong family couple nodded.

This time there were more than a dozen people, seven or eight women, and five or six children.

Except for the two women, the other women are not very old.

Six children, including five girls, are all about the same age as Xing Geer.

Only the child led by a woman was older, about three years old, and it was a boy.

These people were born in poverty at first glance, and they dare not raise their heads when they arrive here, and they only pay vague salutes and dare not raise their voices.

"Mama Tian, ​​Mama Cong, you guys talk first." Jiang Nuan said to the two women.

"Returning to Madam, it's like this. In July last year, someone found the two of us and asked us to go to a yard outside the city to cook and wash for others.

When I got there, I saw six or seven pregnant women all there, each occupying a room.

The two of us usually take care of them, and someone else is in charge of guarding them.

I don't know what these people do?But the employer doesn't allow us to ask more questions, so we don't want to talk too much.

One day in September, someone took the medicine and asked us to boil three bowls for the three women to drink.

After a while they all had stomachaches and were about to give birth.

A midwife was called in, and three girls were born.Immediately, the three women and their children were taken away, and we don't know where they went.

The next day, he boiled the medicine again and gave it to the rest of the people. This time, only she gave birth to a son. The woman said, pointing to the woman who was leading the older child, "these people were sent away afterward, but the boy was taken away alone. "

This incident made it clear that someone deliberately gathered these pregnant women together for the purpose of having a boy.

"Where is the child you gave birth to?" Jiang Nuan asked the woman leading the older child.

"Someone came to me and said that I will pay back the money if I take care of food and housing. When the time comes, I will raise a girl by myself. If the boy is born and healthy, the child will probably not be mine. But I will also be given a sum of money." Money." The woman was obsequious.

"How much did I give you?" Mrs. Zong couldn't help asking.

"Go back to Madam, it's 50 taels." The woman didn't dare to see Mrs. Zong lower her head.

Fifty taels is nothing to rich people, but to ordinary people who can only make a few bucks a year through sewing and mending, this amount of silver is not a small amount.

"The child you took is also yours?" Mrs. Zong asked.

"Yes." The woman nodded.

"Bring that child over and let me have a look." Mrs. Zong said.

The child was dressed in coarse cloth, but it was clean enough.

He was held by the servant girl and sent to Lord Zonghou and Mrs. Zong.

"Master, do you think this child is carved out of the same mold as Brother Xing?" Mrs. Zong looked at the child carefully, and his eyebrows and eyes were eight or nine points similar to Brother Xing's.

By this time, even if there were no other witnesses, Lord Zong and Mrs. Zong already believed that the child had been surreptitiously replaced.

"Mother Tian, ​​Mother Cong, Mrs. Sun, who took the boy away? Do you recognize them?" Jiang Nuan asked.

"It's a man surnamed Song. People call him Song Laogou, and he is the one who found us." Cong's mother said.

"I also found the Song you mentioned today." Jiang Nuan said, "I'll bring it up in a while. Do you recognize it? Is it him?"

The man who was brought up this time was about 50 years old, dark and thin, with a scar on his eyelid.

Not only Mama Tian and Mama Cong, but other women also knew him.

"Quickly tell me! Who ordered you to do this?!" Zonghou Ye's eyes were full of power, as if he wanted to kill someone.

How many hard bones does that surnamed Song have?Dare to offend the Huo family and the Zong family.

Kneeling and kowtowing, he said: "The villain is also entrusted and deceived by others. Last year, a distant cousin of mine found me and gave me money to search for women who were six or seven months pregnant.

When I asked what she was doing, she refused to go into details, and only said that it was not hurting nature and reason, but that it was a good thing to help others, not to mention that everyone has benefits.

The villain believed it was true and helped her do it.Later, only one of them gave birth to a son, so I asked me to take that one away. "

"Who is your cousin? Who did you hand over the boy to?" Zong Hou Ye asked.

"My cousin's surname is Pan, and she works as a servant at Mr. Jiang's house in the official department. Everyone calls her Mother Pan." Song Laogou said, "She asked me to do these things, and she is the culprit!"

This Mama Pan and Mrs. Zong all recognize her. She is the woman in charge of the Meng family, and she can be regarded as a confidant.

"Nonsense! I don't know where I found these poor guys, and they joined forces to slander us!" Meng refused to admit it, "Jiang Nuan, you are really good at it. You won't even bribe Pan's mother right?"

Mother Pan didn't come with them today, she has been sick for the past few days, and Mrs. Meng didn't see her either.
