Chapter 409: Lord Lu Tries the Case
Chu Liangchen watched in the classroom as Mei Niang's cheeks were swollen and her mouth was cracked after being beaten with a wooden paddle. Her charming face could no longer be seen.
Mei Niang was beaten so badly that she didn't even have the strength to pretend to be weak. She sat down in the lobby like a pile of mud.
Seeing Mei Niang being tortured, he didn't feel any emotion at all.
Originally, whenever this woman frowned, he felt so distressed that he wanted to offer her everything he could, just to make her smile!
But now, he just felt relieved and relieved!
So, there is no such thing as everlasting love?!
It's all a scam, meant to fool fools like him.
Mi Laoer covered his eyes, not daring to watch Mei Niang's torture, and was pulled away by his good friend Liu Xiang.
He still had that frivolous expression on his face.
Liu Xiang always spoke in a servile manner. He was the one who personally led the yamen runners to find the courtyard.
Because he was also one of the victims. In the past, he and Mi Lao Er always fooled around together, so naturally he was also in the upper courtyard.
Unexpectedly, he was also targeted by the courtyard.
The one who seduced him was another woman, but that girl was a novice and left some clues, so Liu Xiang was able to see through her. He was more cunning than Mi Lao Er.
He treated the girl very well in private without showing it, and considered her in every way. It took him more than a month to successfully persuade the girl to defect.
The girl told him that after all his money was drained out, he would be set up in a honey trap and held hostage by his family, who would then have to sell their land and properties to redeem him.
Liu Xiang was so scared that he almost peed his pants!
Good man, he came here to have fun, but he almost lost the Liu family's business.
Is that okay?
He wanted to find someone to go to his house to seek an explanation, but there was no evidence for things that had not happened yet.
You can't convince people with just the confession of a woman.
Just when he was in distress, his good friend Mi Lao Er came to him and arranged a good job for him.
When Liu Xiang heard that the intention was to take revenge on Xiaoyuan, he agreed without hesitation.
Therefore, today, when the official was trying Mei Niang's case, he stepped forward and told her Mei Niang's occupation and the address of the courtyard.
Make this wonderful farce even more interesting!
After this incident, Liu Xiang suddenly came to his senses. Women are like a knife hanging over your head. They are too dangerous! It's boring!
It doesn’t matter what you play, it’s okay to play something else.
He is similar to Mi Lao Er, both are rich kids with no education or accomplishments. Their families don't expect them to make a name for themselves, and all they want is for them to stay out of trouble.
Therefore, he has a very good relationship with Mi Laoer and they always play together.
Now he thinks that Mi Lao Er is a friend who has not yet gotten rid of his vulgar tastes, and he feels that he should morally help his friend escape from his suffering as soon as possible.
"Hey, Mi Lao Er, you haven't seen through the true face of this liar with a snake heart yet, have you?!"
Mi Lao Er: "I saw it clearly, I just can't bear to see a beautiful woman being beaten into a pig's head, it's too hot for the eyes!"
Uh...nothing wrong!
Liu Xiang was watching with great interest, and even explained:
"Oh my, that's too cruel, tut tut! He's too weak to take a beating, he just made a move after a short while? It's useless!"
Soon these two idiots started betting on how long it would take the tortured person to confess. It's true - if you have the conditions, you can play. If you don't have the conditions, you can create the conditions and play!
In the lobby, Mei Niang could no longer hold back and confessed. She confessed everything that someone accused her of, but she would definitely not take the initiative to mention things that had already happened even though no one accused her.
But that's enough.
Mei Niang will spend the rest of her life in jail, and she won't be able to come out and harm anyone again.
The next few girls were also well-known in the courtyard. They all had a few cases, but they were not too serious. They just extorted some money.
No one is as cruel as Mei Niang. Either their families are ruined or they go bankrupt, or both.
Therefore, even if these women were sentenced, they would only be demoted to slavery and sent somewhere to serve as slaves for the rest of their lives.
The last person to be tried was the adoptive mother, who was extremely sinful.
She has killed more than one person.
When Qianniang was being tried, she mentioned that there was a newly bought girl who refused to obey her foster mother and was forcibly deflowered by her adoptive mother in order to establish her authority!
In front of all the girls, the thugs in the yard beat the poor girl to death.
Anyway, to the adoptive mother, this girl was a raw melon that she had bought for very little money, and it has no value now.
I don't feel any pain in beating such a naive foster mother to death.
There were also girls who were tortured to death. That happened in private. They only vaguely knew that someone had died in the yard, but they couldn't explain how they died.
According to Qianniang, there was another life lost by a guest. The man was very rich and had hired a girl and had their wedding night in the courtyard that night.
However, the guest seemed to be unwell, and the bridal chamber did not go smoothly.
The foster mother was afraid that the guest would make a fuss, so she sent someone to bring him a strong aphrodisiac. Unexpectedly, the guest was so fragile that he foamed at the mouth and convulsed that night, and died not long after.
The foster mother was afraid that the government would find out, so she asked the guards to throw the guest's body far away into the river, letting the river wash the body downstream.
Even if he is discovered, it can be confused as if the person accidentally fell into the river and drowned.
Just like that, the matter was quietly covered up.
Lord Lu's eyes sparkled. Great! It would be even better if someone was murdered!
If he solved a major murder case, the nature of the case would be different!
He deserves a promotion this year!
Lord Lu’s waist and back pain are gone!
It’s exciting to work around the clock to try cases!
Lord Lu: "Clerk, check if there are any unsolved murders or missing persons around September last year. Check immediately!"
The clerk trotted to the archive warehouse and easily found a missing person case.
The missing person was Mao Changsheng, the eldest son of the Mao family, who came to Chuzhou to do business.
Unexpectedly, this Mao Changsheng turned out to be a short-lived ghost.
Because he was lustful, when he first disappeared, his family turned the brothel in Chuzhou upside down. They didn't expect that he had died in this remote courtyard.
No matter how hard the Mao family tried, they couldn't find such a secluded place.
When Lord Lu ordered his men to interrogate the adoptive mother, she still refused to acknowledge him!
Therefore, the adoptive mother was punished in prison, of course, it was a very covert punishment.
You know, there are so many tortures in prison, even methods that can leave no traces on the body.
After all, she still has to go to court later!
Today, there are ordinary people watching, so people must not think that they are resorting to lynching.
But if we want to extract information from the prisoners, how can we get useful information so quickly without torture?
Therefore, the simple, crude and effective method of acupuncture in the thigh was used.
Let me put it this way, this method of causing no bleeding but extreme pain was very effective. The foster mother simply couldn't stand it and gave in to all the men she could.
