Chapter 54 It’s your own fault
"Since the Niu family treats your sister badly, it is a family feud. What does it have to do with Chen Ergou and Prince Liang?" Chen Buyu asked in a deep voice.

"Guess." Wang Baitian laughed out loud again.

His eyes fell coldly on Mu Zhao and Lu Qian, "Your Majesty the Crown Prince and all of you are so smart, how could you not guess the reason?"

"I'm pretty good at arresting you, but you don't understand the case at all?"

"That's right! How can people's livelihood be better if there is such a provincial governor in Weizhou City? The yamen are full of big men who only know how to cook but not do anything. Who can take care of the sufferings of the people? Hahahahaha!"

"You are so arrogant!" Jade Governor did not expect that he would be the first to be targeted by the murderer, in front of the Crown Prince and many adults. At that time, he was a little worried about his face.

“If I hadn’t had my daughter paint my portrait, would you government bastards have caught me??”

The Jade Governor was so angry that he was trembling all over. The clerk who was diligently writing down the confession was frowning. He wondered whether this insult to the Governor should be recorded in the record.

"Your sister Niu Wang died two years ago." Mu Zhao was not angered by Wang Baitian, but said calmly, "After that, the Niu family received a large sum of money, and they spent more than five hundred taels in gambling houses alone. .”

"This is inconsistent with their family's actual annual income, and there must be something hidden in it. It's just that everyone in the Niu family is dead now, and the new bride has no idea about it. The neighbors have no way of knowing what happened to the Niu family. Therefore, the Yamen can’t find out the reason.”

Mu Zhao said in a low voice, "The fact that you didn't attack the bride of the Niu family shows that you are also a person who has a clear sense of grudges. A proud man like you in the world should not kill innocent people indiscriminately. If you have any grievances, tell me, There is a motive for killing people. You are avenging your sister. Does this involve Prince Liang? Please make it clear and we can decide the case as appropriate. "

"Put the person down and let him sit and talk."

"Prince!" Governor Jade was shocked.

This murderer can kill many people in a row. If he suddenly attacks, they, the powerless civil servants, can only use their bodies to protect the prince from the knife...

"He is seriously injured, and his feet are still shackled. What can happen?" Mu Zhao frowned slightly, "Put it down and talk slowly and carefully. Go and bring some stools over."

Jade Governor had no choice but to order the jailer to bring a few stools inside, and everyone sat down face to face with Wang Baitian.

"There are several ways to kill people. Killing enemies for the country is a hero, killing enemies for relatives is a hero." Lu Qian smiled warmly, "Wang Baitian, tell us your story."

Wang Baitian sat down while dragging his heavy shackles, twitching the corners of his lips, "Your Majesty, sir, do you know what kind of person that Prince Sepai Liang is?"

"Since King Liang was demoted to Weizhou, he has harmed countless women from good families in the city."

"He also has a cruel and cruel hobby, and he likes to play with pregnant women. There are so many pregnant women who have died in his hands! My sister is one of them!"

Wang Baitian stretched out his five fingers and turned them over twice. Mu Zhao, Lu Qian, Chen Buyu and others all changed their expressions. Jade Governor was even more upset and jumped up on the spot, "Nonsense! If such a big event happens, how come there is no news in Weizhou City?"

"Hahaha! Rumors? What kind of rumors do you, a mediocre official, want? Will Prince Liang's Mansion spread this matter to the outside world? Of course they will cover it up!"

There was a stern look in Wang Baitian's eyes, "What's more, an incident happened six years ago. A farmer in Chenjiabang sued Prince Liang's palace for raping a girl. Did the governor take care of it?"

"Me?" Jade Governor was sweating, and he quickly looked at Wu Yong beside him.

Wu Yong hurriedly spoke up, "I have some impression of this matter. Six years ago, a farmer in Chenjiabang sued Prince Liang's Mansion for robbing his daughter-in-law, but in the end her daughter-in-law's body was found in the col of Tooushan Mountain behind Dongshan Mountain."

"The body was torn into pieces by wild wolves. It was obvious that she was attacked by wolves and died. The farmer originally said that there were witnesses to prove that his daughter-in-law was forcibly taken away by the prince. However, when the master interrogated her in court, the witness said that she had not seen clearly. "

"There is no human or material evidence at this time. It is naturally impossible for your Excellency to convict Prince Liang's Mansion."

Wang Baitian sneered, "You didn't investigate such a big omission, and you didn't investigate why the witness retracted his confession on the spot. In the end, the case was hastily closed by the officials. The governor has been the governor of Weizhou City for eight years, and he has protected Prince Liang's palace for eight years."

"Nonsense!!!" Jade Governor Huo Di jumped up and said angrily, "Don't say this nonsense! I have no contact with the King of Liang, and everyone in Weizhou City can prove it!"

Who doesn’t know that King Liang is despised by today’s people? Was he, Yu Shoudao, stupid enough to have a close relationship with the King of Liang? Was he not afraid of being implicated and disliked by the saint?
"Is the governor now aware that he is afraid?" Wang Baitian laughed, "The Liang King has committed numerous crimes in the past eight years, but you can't see it at all!"

"My sister was rescued by the Niu family when she was fleeing famine. I am very grateful. Unexpectedly, less than two years after marrying into the Niu family, she would be sold to the Liang Prince's Mansion by this family in a frenzy."

"I really hate it now. I hate that I couldn't rush to my sister's side early and save her. I don't know how painful and scared she was before she died! And what about the Niu family? They stood on my sister's body and had a party! Six hundred taels, buy it My sister’s life! Everything Niu Daji and Niu Erji sent to the casino was my sister’s money to buy her life!”

"I investigated for nearly two years and asked many friends from all walks of life to help me find out all the truth. Chen Ergou was originally a servant in Prince Liang's palace. It was he who picked my sister up on the street and secretly went to Niu's house. Ten taels of silver. I bought my sister to work in Prince Liang’s palace for one year. Old Lady Niu happily accepted the money and agreed, completely ignoring that her daughter-in-law was about to give birth!”

"Later, when I found my sister, she was covered with wounds and died in Dongshan. Niu Daji was a smart man. He noticed something was wrong with my sister's body, so he used my sister's body to negotiate with Chen Ergou. Prince Liang's Mansion took out six hundred taels Money came to silence them, but Chen Ergou also got into trouble because of his poor performance, and was kicked out of Prince Liang's Mansion by Lao Sepi."

"Six hundred taels. Six hundred taels from the royal family can buy a commoner's life. Maybe this is still a high price for us! A common man with a flat head who dies after being hit by a horse and a bicycle can be rewarded by the nobles with thirty or fifty taels. Two is considered a blessing."

"Everyone is happy when the Niu family gets a windfall. Mrs. Niu prefers her younger son and secretly gave Niu Erji two hundred taels of silver. As a result, he lost to the casino and owed a lot of foreign debt."

"The two brothers had a big fight, and Niu Daji refused to give any more money to his brother to pay off his debt. The old woman couldn't resist him and was afraid of really annoying her eldest son, so she asked Niu Erji to find a way. The couple had no choice but to do it themselves. Sell ​​yourself to sign a long-term contract and work in your governor's office to pay off your debts."

"That's the whole story. I started with Chen Ergou, killed the entire Niu family, and killed that old pervert. It was all their own fault!"
