Chapter 266 Simply Unbearable!

me out…Now that everyone is happy and settled, even the young boys don't go out to play anymore; they all gather around the elder gentlemen.This was the family's mission for them, watching over the o...The Magistrate pounded the gavel, ordering the officers to bring Wang Yuanwai forward. He roared at Xiang Zhongshu, "Wang Zhong, two families from Da Huai Shu Village have accused you of murdering their sons over a decade ago. Do you plead guilty"

Wang Zhong shrank his neck and remained silent, unsure whether he was hesitating or unwilling to confess.

The magistrate cast a glance at the constables, and the constables immediately struck their water and fire staffs together, the resounding clang echoing through the air. Wang Zhong trembled even more violently.

"Master, I'm saying, I'm saying! It wasn't me who killed them. It was our grandfather, the old man, he made me do it! I didn't dare to kill anyone, but they kept asking for money, more and more each time. The old man told me to find someone from the underworld to take care of them!"

Is this admitting that Old Master Wang hired someone to commit murder!

Wang E originally still held a sliver of hope, craning her neck to stare intently at Wang Zhong. Hearing what Wang Zhong said, she slumped to the ground directly, like a puppet with its strings cut, murmuring, "It's over, everything is over!"

But at this moment, no one paid her any mind. The Prefect continued to question Wang Zhong.

From what time did Old Master Wang meet Wang Yuanwai, how did he ask Wang Yuanwai to become his son-in-law, and why was he rejected, leading him to plot murder What about the accomplices How were they silenced I've gotten a clear answer.

Wang Zhong was just an ordinary person after all. This weighed heavily on his heart for many years, and from time to time he would have nightmares.

Especially his grandchildren were incompetent, he felt even more that it was retribution for the wrong things he had done in the past.

Therefore, at this moment, he simply knew everything and said everything, both useful and useless, thoroughly.

Thus, hundreds of people in the hall, both upstairs and downstairs, listened with wide eyes and mouths agape.

Although Mr. Wang, the patriarch of the Wang family, passed away many years ago, many people in this city still remember him.

Back then, in order to have a son, Old Master Wang spared no expense on medicine and grain, hoping that by accumulating virtue and doing good deeds, he could bring forth a successor for the Wang family.

Unfortunately, past middle age, she only has one daughter, Wang E.

Unexpectedly, he even set his sights on the scholar who was studying abroad for this incense!

Everyone had heard tales of bullies strong-arming young women, but this was the first time anyone had heard of a man being forcibly married into a family! And the victim was a scholar with an official title!

As someone who also came from a poor family, the magistrate fully understood how difficult it was for an impoverished farming family to produce a talented scholar. He had been taken back by Wang Jiagang, replacing kindness with revenge and deceiving him for many years. Now, he has been seriously injured and is on the verge of death.

This is simply intolerable!

The magistrate pounded the gavel heavily and continued, "Wang Zhong, do you know what Wang Xinqiu's real name was Where is his hometown"

Wang Zhong cried so hard his nose and eyes were swollen shut, he kowtowed heavily and replied: "I don't know what your name is, sir. I only know that you are a newly appointed scholar who rode south with a caravan from the northern border. The old master got along very well with you on the journey and considered you an old friend, so I called you 'young master.' I really didn't know your real name."

The magistrate was furious, but he had no choice but to comfort Wang's father, saying, "Don't worry, all scholars in the imperial court are recorded. Just check the list of officials from the north and find out which scholar went missing that year, you should be able to find your family."

He himself didn't really believe this. Now that Jiangbei had fallen to the barbarians, they fled in haste during the relocation, leaving behind countless things. A list of scholars from a decade ago, something so insignificant, probably wasn't even brought to the new capital...

Wang Yuanwai's eyes were vacant, staring at Wang Zhong and Wang E, like a walking corpse, neither crying nor smiling.

The magistrate said this, and he didn't even know how to thank him.

Everyone who witnessed it couldn't help but sigh and feel saddened.

Put yourself in their shoes. Imagine they passed the imperial examination and, full of youthful vigor, went out to study abroad. Then, someone hit them on the head, making them forget who they were and where they came from.

Then the enemy changed his guise and became a benefactor, forcing him to marry into their family as repayment for kindness. In a blink of an eye, ten years passed.

He gave birth to a child for his enemies' family, slaved away at work to make money, and finally when he was about to die, he realized everything was a lie!

The benefactor is an enemy, the bedside person is the daughter of the enemy, and the son is the bloodline of the enemy. Life is at stake because the wife has been hiding it and delaying treatment!

I'm afraid anyone would be overwhelmed and driven to insanity...

The married woman's heart softened, and she was already wiping away tears.

"This is too pathetic."

"Yes, such a good person, how could life be so cruel"

"The Wang family is utterly heartless!"

"What a hypocrite! Those who appear decent on the surface are truly despicable!"

The old scoundrel of the Wang family is dead, yet Wang E is still alive! She must know about all the rotten things her father did!

Of course I know, what is she afraid of if she doesn't know What is she hiding by doing it!

The commoners outside were furious, glaring at Wang E as if they wanted to bore ten thousand holes into her with their eyes!

King Fu jumped anxiously in the front row, urging Li Ge'er and Mao Ge'er, “Young Master, hurry up and hug Grandpa! Grandpa needs to see you two to live!”

Little Mao-ge was young and didn't understand what was happening. He cried out of fear, but Li-ge understood most of it.

Mom wants to kill Dad, and Grandpa is bad too!

He fiercely wiped his tears, pulling his younger brother forward and hugging their father's neck, "Father, don't be afraid. Wait for me to grow up and be filial to you."

"Wah, wah, is Daddy going to die" Mao Ge'er also cried non-stop.

Wang Yuanwai finally recovered some of his spirit, looked at his two young sons, embraced them, and tears flowed from his eyes like springs.

A man may weep, but he will not shed tears lightly; he only does so when he reaches a place of deep sorrow.

A hush fell over the hall, women sobbing and men occasionally wiping their eyes with their sleeves.

The magistrate sighed, picked up a signpost and threw it to the ground, "Come here, quickly take Wang Zhong to dig up the bones, Wang E, into the prison, the rest of you go home and wait for the summons, on a chosen day!"

At once, an attendant stepped forward, took the order, and dragged Wang Zhong away.

Erdouzi and Zhuan Zhuzi's families were crying, following behind, it was clear they wanted to see their son's burial site.

Wang E was struggling desperately, refusing to go to the prison. "Woooooo, I don't want to go to jail! Help! Help! I didn't kill anyone, why are you imprisoning me! Where is my uncle Help!"

Unfortunately, no one paid her any attention. The guards even grew annoyed by her noise and dragged her away by her hair, causing her to scream in pain.

Little Meow went to chase his mother, but his older brother grabbed his arm tightly, causing him to burst into tears.

Meow's cries did remind Wang E, she struggled with all her might to tug at her husband, shouting: "Husband save me, woo woo, it was all father's arrangement, I don't know anything. Woo woo, husband and wife for over ten years, you can't just watch me die! It was all my father's doing, not mine!"

Mr. Wang held the two children, his face cold as he stared at her, as if she were a stranger.

The commoners in the hall couldn't help but point at Wang E and scold her angrily.

"Look, what a wretch! To escape punishment, he even betrayed his own father!"

Such a viper woman, what can't she do!

She has reaped the benefits for so many years, pushing all the blame onto her own father.

Wang E was dragged down, leaving Wang Yuanwai supporting himself. After he led the two children to bow to the magistrate, they left.

Wang Fu immediately shouldered his master and, protecting the two young masters, got them into the carriage and left.

Passing by a pharmacy, I found Dr. Sun and we went to the Wang family's house together.

Needless to say, Dr. Sun still said the same thing as before: Wang, the county magistrate, won't live long, even a great Luo Jinxian can't save him.

In the Wang family courtyard, two children's cries shook the heavens, and all the servants hung their heads low, flustered and unwilling to work.

In the teahouse, everyone was deeply moved and couldn't help but sigh. Even drinking tea seemed tasteless.

Some brave people, eager for excitement, followed the officials to collect bones outside the city. After returning, they spread the word throughout the city..., still thinking about the dream, unable to recover.Suiling stood aside and, seeing that her young mistress had woken up, whispered, "Miss, would you like to get up and wash Our family is about to eat...
