The fate of writers

Chapter 39
During the retrial, Liu Shu's mental state was not good.His appearance has been tidied up, but his bloodshot eyes and restless expression all show Liu Shu's inner world that is on the verge of collapse.

"Liu Shu, I need to remind you again, to falsely accuse someone and punish him with a cane, do you still insist that Jiang Ling is not the real person, but pretended to be your niece?" Zeng Hong asked sharply.

The gavel hit the table heavily, and Willow was taken aback, the string in his heart was about to break.

"The witnesses are Liu Hua, Wang Wu, Li Xiaomi, and Liu Chuanzhi." Zeng Hong saw Liu Shu's mental state and decided to push him again.Liu Shu had to admit that he had falsely accused Jiang Ling.

Liu Hua, Wang Wu, Li Xiaomi and Liu Chuanzhi stood up one by one.Liu Hua used to be Jiang Ling's personal maid, Wang Wu was Jiang Wei's former book boy, Li Xiaomi and Liu Chuanzhi were husband and wife, Li Xiaomi was the nanny hired by Liu Zhi, and had nurtured Jiang Ling and Jiang Wang, while Liu Chuanzhi followed Jiang Wei is always doing things around him.

The relationship between the four of them and the host family is closer than that between Li Changyou and Zhang Guiyun.

Willow remained silent and did not look at the new witness.He gritted his teeth and sweated profusely.I secretly scolded the four of them for being ignorant and deserving of poverty for the rest of their lives.

"Call the witness Liu Ju again." Zeng Hong knew that Liu Shu still had luck in his heart, so he didn't hesitate.Liu Shu is Jiang Ling's biological uncle, and Liu Ju is Jiang Ling's biological aunt.

"Liu Ju, a civilian woman, has met the Lord."

Liu Shu suddenly raised his head and looked at Liu Ju. His expression looked like he wanted to eat Liu Ju. How dare she.When he goes back, he must make her look good.

Zeng Hong first confirmed Liu Ju's place of origin, and then asked: "Liu Ju, look to the left. Who is the name of the lady wearing white and green clothes and an ebony hairpin? Her hair is all pulled up, and she wears a hairpin. Who is the woman with a silver hairpin and pale green clothes?"

"The lady dressed in white and blue is Jiang Ling. She was born in the 17th year of Xiantong. She is Jiang Ling, the eldest daughter of Jiang Juren. The lady dressed in green is Liu Zhi. She is my sister-in-law. She married Jiang Juren in the 16th year of Xiantong. My wife." Liu Ju replied.

The people around immediately talked about it, and they only felt that it was worth getting up early.The uncle sued the niece, the parents did not recognize the daughter, the brother did not recognize the sister, and today it was exposed that the wife overthrew the husband, which is really wonderful.

Liu Ju ignored the uproar around her and continued to tell: "On October 50th, a middle-aged man wearing a navy blue robe came to the house of a civilian woman with a box of [-] taels of silver. Discouragement still cannot stop the husband's greed..."

"Witness Liu Ju, do you know the middle-aged man who brought silver?"

"The women don't know her."

"Do you still remember what he looks like? He is tall, short, fat and thin?"

"The facial features are regular, but there is a red round birthmark under the corner of the right eye. She is about seven feet tall, two fingers taller than my husband, and has a well-proportioned figure, neither too thin nor too rich. My lord, that one seems to be left-handed , He used his left hand when holding the teacup." Liu Ju remembered it clearly.

Zhou Zhou, who has been paying attention among the common people, can also hear it very clearly. Why is this description so similar to Xu Shizhi?
Those who are able to write novels are firstly interested, and secondly, like Xu Shizhi, they were unable to participate in the imperial examination due to various reasons.

Xu Shizhi was unable to take the imperial examination because of the red round birthmark on the corner of his right eye and his flawed appearance.Moreover, Xu Shizhi is also a left-hander, so he has reasons for targeting Jiang Ling.Thinking about it carefully, this dramatic and strange case where he proved himself really has Xu Shizhi's style. Could it really be him?

Zhou Zhou was in the middle of a brainstorm, but Liu Shu had already broken his guard. He finally admitted that he had falsely accused Jiang Ling.No, it should be said that he is still quibbling, saying that he had no choice but to say that he was not falsely accused but was deceived. Can he be lenient if he confesses?In short, he is trying to shift the blame. Everything is someone else's fault. He is just a poor person who was seduced and deceived.

Willow's ability to change faces has always been good, he can bend and stretch, he climbed in front of Jiang Ling and Liu Zhi, and begged Jiang Ling and Liu Zhi for forgiveness.Said that he was confused for a while, said that he was provoked, and said that for the sake of blood relationship, forgive him for once.

Liu's father and Liu's mother had to go through this again after a serious illness. They both seemed to have aged ten years.

Li Changyou and Zhang Guiyun and his wife looked at each other and felt that Liu Shu's money was really hot to hold.They also followed the willow tree and kept kowtowing to Jiang Ling and Liu Zhi.Instead of asking for forgiveness, they talked about how pitiful their sick children were.

Li Changyou and Zhang Guiyun can still talk, which is quite a coincidence.Jiang Ling's heart was indeed softened. She could not forgive the couple she had helped for repaying kindness with hatred, but a child who did not know what was going on was indeed innocent.

Jiang Ling pursed his lips, and finally decided to follow his own heart: "I will find a doctor to treat Shitou, and you can just wait for the judge. You can do it yourself."

Li Changyou and Zhang Guiyun had mixed feelings in their hearts. They got the result they wanted. The eldest lady really had a compassionate heart, but why didn't they feel good in their hearts?They are wrong!
The willow tree was carried out in the end, and the servants beat him hard and hard, and Liu's father and Liu mother were old, so Zeng Hong attributed the crimes of Liu's father and Liu mother to Liu Shu.

As for Li Changyou and Zhang Guiyun, who bore half of Willow's cane punishment, their physical fitness was better than Willow's, so they could support each other and leave.

This strange case finally has an ending, and everything is settled.

Jiang Ling and Liu Zhi were acquitted.Just when Jiang Ling thought the matter was over, a man with a skinny monkey look and sinister features said loudly: "Are you Youlin? Youlin who wrote Qingyun Road. Are the rumors true?"

There was also a trap hidden in the man's words. Now the rumor has turned into that Youlin plagiarized, bullying Jiang Ling into being trapped in the government office and unable to keep up with the news outside.

The people around heard what the man said. They were going home to tell their relatives and friends about the new melon they ate, but they didn't expect that they didn't finish all the melons, and there was a big melon behind them.They all stopped and squeezed towards Jiang Ling.

Zhou Zhou was also anxious when he heard that, he originally brought grapefruit leaves to unluck Jiang Ling, but now the grapefruit leaves he held in his hand became a burden for him to push forward.He couldn't squeeze the people around him no matter what.

Jiang Ling was still more cautious. She did not answer the man's ill-intentioned questions, but said: "If you want to know Youlin's true identity, you may wish to pay more attention to the latest issue of Haichao Magazine. Haichao Magazine and Youlin will definitely give A satisfactory answer from you all.”

The crowd was still dissatisfied, and they surrounded Jiang Ling automatically without the men's incitement.Fortunately, Yamen Zhang arrived with his brothers. After all, the people were still afraid of officials, and everyone immediately scattered like birds and beasts.
