Chapter 163
"There are a lot of bad rumors in the town, saying that your family bribed the magistrate with money before you were released..."

Goudan hurriedly narrated the rumors in the town, he was afraid that Cheng Weiyao might misunderstand that they had spread them, after all it is true that beggars are the most convenient way to spread a lot of news.

However, the beggars in Qingshi Town are not only Goudan and his grandfather, but also a one-eyed beggar who can do anything for money.

"Drink some water, don't worry." Cheng Weiyao was a little thoughtful, originally thought it was just caused by vicious business competition, but since the other party still has such abilities.

Does it mean that the big fish that Wen Chengyun caught got mixed up because of the opportunity, otherwise it would be hard to explain why an ordinary peddler has such a great ability...

"Oh!"

The wooden door of the courtyard was kicked open, and a group of armored soldiers stood in several rows, headed by Lieutenant Li.

"Wen Chengyun's home is here, right? Your husband is suspected of taking bribes, disrupting the local public order, and causing turmoil among the people. This has been verified and brought to justice according to law!"

Lieutenant Li took out an arrest warrant from his pocket, flashed it at Cheng Weiyao, waved his hand, and the soldiers behind him poured into the compound.

People from the military?Cheng Weiyao's face changed slightly, and before she could react, the door of the wing room behind her was already opened, and Wen Chengyun was dressed in white, standing by the door with a calm face.

"I'll go with you, don't embarrass my family."

Wen Chengyun's attitude made Lieutenant Li raise his eyebrows slightly. He heard from the general that Wen Chengyun's temperament was not so easy to talk. When the general returned from victory and wanted to ask for a reward, this man had a lot of words.

What did you say that the national treasury was tight, and in the end it was only given an honorary title that was not practical...

"Wait, if you say bribes, you just bribe them, but what evidence do you have? You haven't even been through the court, so how can you verify it is true?"

With a sweep of Cheng Weiyao's hand, she stood in front of Wen Chengyun.She wanted to obey Wen Chengyun's wishes, but just now she caught the flash of killing intent in Lieutenant Li's eyes.

This is Qingshi Town, not under the emperor's feet, and belongs to the jurisdiction of this group of soldiers. Even if Wen Chengyun was exiled because of a mission, if there is an emergency, the emperor may be beyond his reach.

"Ma'am, don't panic. The general is wise and powerful, and he judges the case fairly. He will definitely clear my husband's name. During this time, Ma'am has to take good care of the whole family."

Wen Chengyun patted Cheng Weiyao's shoulder lightly to express comfort. He had been dormant in Qingshi Town for so long, but he couldn't wait for the other party to take the initiative to attack.Now that the eyes are eager to come to the door, no matter what, I have to give him a chance, right...

Seeing the stubbornness in Wen Chengyun's eyes, Cheng Weiyao put down his arms helplessly and watched Wen Chengyun being taken away.

However, what Wen Chengyun didn't expect was that Lieutenant Li was so good at things that he would be gagged as soon as he went out, and he walked towards the lively direction of Caishikou.

"Pass by, don't miss it, the murder case in Qingshi Town has been solved, and the real culprit has been arrested and brought to justice!" the one-eyed beggars yelled at the top of their voices, obviously gaining momentum early on.

The common people were all looking forward to it, but they didn't expect to see a fairly familiar face.As Cheng Weiyao's husband, Wen Chengyun would sometimes help carry some tables, chairs and benches out of the stall in the morning, so he knew many old diners.

Now that someone is being arrested, is it the husband of the stall owner's wife?Isn't this pure nonsense, this person didn't even show his face that day.

Wen Chengyun looked at the prison car that was already prepared, and glanced at Adjutant Li who was full of complacency. The words "a villain's success" were almost engraved on his face.

"Isn't that Cheng Ming? This is a great injustice. There is no public trial in the yamen, so why did he become the real murderer..."

The other female family members of Prince Qingping's Mansion were already setting up stalls on the street, and when they saw Wen Chengyun's sudden arrest, they all panicked and ignored the stalls, so they rushed over to have a look.

"What's going on? Isn't this case supposed to be handled by the county government? Why are people from the army doing something like punishing evil and promoting good here..."

"I don't know. Wasn't there a rumor in the morning that the county magistrate accepted bribes? Maybe he was deprived of the right to hear the case... But this case is so bad, it doesn't feel right..."

The ordinary people in the crowd were all whispering to each other, and there was basically a hint of doubt in their eyes, only the wonton peddler slightly hooked his lips.

As long as someone comes out as a scapegoat, I will have no worries, but I didn't expect that this family would still be accused of wrongdoing.

As for the stall owner himself, or the stall owner's husband, it doesn't matter anymore. If he poisons and kills, how can he be a good person?

After comforting Wen Chengming, Cheng Weiyao asked Wen Chengming to stay at home to watch the house, and she followed her out with her dog eggs, wanting to track down the follow-up of the matter.

To Lieutenant Li's disappointment, after Wen Chengyun got into the prison car, there seemed to be no outrage. Even the family members of the poisoned old diners just watched with frowns.

But it doesn't matter if no one is in charge. He hired one-eyed beggars because they were not hired for nothing, and they grabbed some rotten vegetables and rotten eggs and threw them at Wen Chengyun's body.

"Murderers should kill and pay for their lives! I suggest execution in the street!"

"I think this man must be jealous that his wife is more capable than him, so he did stupid things out of jealousy. Sure enough, a man with no ability can't marry!"

Under the atmosphere of the one-eyed beggars, some ordinary people who still don't know why followed suit and smashed up, and Wen Chengyun's white robe quickly became unsightly.

Wooden stakes had already been prepared in the center of the vegetable market, which was specially prepared by Adjutant Li to expose Wen Chengyun to the sun.

"The nature of the murder case is bad. In order to teach everyone a lesson, the higher authorities decided to execute the punishment publicly. During the emerging period, please stay away from it and take it as a warning."

Lieutenant Li waved his hand and signaled his soldiers to release Wen Chengyun from the prison car and transfer him to a wooden stake.

The criminal law of exposure to the sun does not seem to be cruel, there is no blood or tears, it just puts people under the venomous sun and roasts them without a drop of water or rice until they finally die of thirst and starvation due to heatstroke.

Standing in the crowd, Cheng Weiyao clenched her fists under her sleeves. This kind of criminal law of roasting people will soon become severely dehydrated under the scorching sun.

Even if the binding is released in time after the investigation, the whole body will be unable to stand due to pain and swelling. It depends on the individual's physical fitness to survive for a few hours...

Lieutenant Li has racked his brains out and is determined to kill Wen Chengyun!

"Madam stall owner, where are you going?"

Goudan watched Cheng Weiyao turn his head and leave, and hurriedly followed. He didn't understand the criminal law, so he thought that such a punishment was not serious.
