Mrs. Liu's daughter was about to get married these days and had no time to think about anything else. After dinner, she asked her daughter to pick out fabrics, colors, and wedding clothes. All the sisters and aunts in the family went to join in the fun, and only the elder Miss Xiumei suggested that she had eaten too much and wanted to take a walk to eat, so she went to the garden.

Mou Biao felt that this case could be overturned, and he was very proud. He wrote down his thoughts on the case on paper in his study.

"After Mr. Yao has confessed, he will present this thing to Lord Fu Yin, hehe..."

Mou Biao smiled proudly, and Mou Hu said outside,

"Master, after a long day of running around, are you hungry? Let's eat first!"

Mou Biao responded, put the pages on the desk, and went out to eat.

The next day, Mou Biao went out early, but first went to Jia's noodle stall and asked Jia Silian to talk about the matter. Both of them felt that Yao was extremely suspicious.

"But how do we get her to confess?"

Jia Silian thought for a moment and said,

"I thought about it all night last night, and I finally came up with an idea!"

Mou Biao's eyes lit up,

"Oh...what's your idea? Can you tell me about it?"

Jia Silian leaned over and whispered for a while, and Mou Biao nodded repeatedly.

"This is a good idea!"

After dark that day, Jia Jin went home from the yamen office, but went to the Sun family again. The widow of the Sun family was very surprised when she saw him coming.

"Jia Wuzuo, you...you..."

Why are you here again? Aren't you afraid that that fierce woman in your house will make trouble again?

She was frightened by the noise!

Jia Jincheng seemed to see her doubts and responded,

"The case has changed. My mother-in-law is now recovering from her injuries at home!"

When the widow of the Sun family heard that there was a change in the case, she quickly invited Mr. Yao out.

"Cousin, come out quickly and meet Jia Wuzuo!"

When Yao came out, Jia Jincheng said to the two of them,

"Your Excellency reported the case to the Ministry of Punishment. After the Lord Shangshu learned about it, he only said that there was one corpse and two lives in the case. The death of the deceased was miserable. The murderer's methods were very cruel and the public was extremely angry. It must be dealt with severely and quickly, so there was no need to wait until the end of the autumn. He said it was It’s going to be beheaded next month!”

"ah……"

The two of them were very surprised when they heard this. Yao was about to faint as soon as his body swayed. Jia Jincheng said,

"The landlord asked the jailer in the prison to bring me a message, saying that he knew that his death was approaching and wanted to see his wife and children one last time..."

After saying that, he apologized to Mr. Yao,

"There is nothing I can do about this matter. I can only help you one last time. You will go to the prison to meet me tonight. I'm afraid..."

After saying that, she shook her head sympathetically, and Yao burst into tears at that time.

"The head of the family..."

Jia Jincheng sighed repeatedly and advised her,

"This is not the time to cry. It's still early. You guys should find a way to get him something to eat and let him have a home-cooked meal for the last time!"

When he said this, Mrs. Yao cried even more fiercely. The widow of the Sun family advised her by saying,

"Cousin, please stop crying. It's getting late. Let's do what Jia Wuzuo said and cook a meal for my cousin-in-law as soon as possible!"

It was getting dark today, and there was no place to buy meat. I could only take a look at what else I had at home so that he could have his last meal and go on the road in peace!

Jiajin City Road,

"You should prepare at home first. I will wait for you at the entrance of the alley in an hour!"

The widow of the Sun family nodded, but Yao was still crying uncontrollably. Jia Jincheng sighed and turned around and went out. An hour later, the two of them came out together. The widow of the Sun family carried a bamboo basket on her arm, with a pale face. When Yao saw Jia Jincheng waiting at the entrance of the alley, he stepped forward and bowed.

"Thank you Jia Wuzuo!"

"Let's go!"

Jia Jincheng was the first to get on the carriage that had been ordered long ago. The three of them went to the Yamen together. Jia Jincheng led them to the prison. The Yamen guarding the prison blocked the way.

"Jia Wuzuo, you also know the rules here. This criminal has been sentenced to death, and only one person can go in to visit him!"

Yao took the bamboo basket from the widow of the Sun family with a sad look on her face, and carried the bamboo basket into the prison alone.

There is actually no difference between the prison at night and the prison during the day. They are both dark and bloody, but in Yao's opinion, the prison at night is always a little more eerie and terrifying. The further you walk, the colder your heart becomes.

She followed the jailer to the cell door where Lai Dongsheng was imprisoned. The jailer shouted inside,

"Lai Dongsheng, your family is here to see you!"

There was the sound of chains rattling in the dark cell, but no one came out for a while. The jailer smiled and said,

"My lord has gone through the court again today. I'm afraid he doesn't have much energy at this moment..."

When Yao heard this, he immediately burst into tears, threw himself in front of the cell door and shouted,

"The head of the family...the head of the family...the father of the child..."

The jailer heard this and said impatiently,

"What do you mean? Murder must be punished with life. In this case, there are two lives. If he doesn't die, who will die? Don't cry and howl here. Master, I still need to take a nap!"

After saying that, he spat, turned around and walked out.

"For Jia Wuzuo's sake, I'll give you half an hour. When the time comes, come out on your own!"

The prisoner walked outside and closed the door of the passage with a bang. When Yao saw him walking away, she rushed over and looked desperately into the cell door.

"The head of the family... the head of the family..."

In the darkness, Lai Dongsheng moved his body and finally said,

"You...you're here?"

His voice was so hoarse that Yao started to cry,

"Master, you have suffered so much!"

Lai Dongsheng didn't speak, just panted for a long time, and then replied,

"You...what did you bring?"

Mrs. Yao hurriedly took out everything in the bamboo basket, but there was nothing. She only had a small bowl of rice, a small bowl of bacon and a small pot of wine. She put the things in one by one through the cracks, and after a while, from the dark

He stretched out a hand. The back of the hand was covered with blood scabs. The dirty and black fingers grabbed a piece of meat in the bowl. After he retracted it, there was the sound of chewing in the darkness.

"Is this smell... made by you?"

Lai Dongsheng asked, Yao cried and said,

"I brought it to my cousin from home..."

Lai Dongsheng hummed, stretched out his hand to fumble around, took the wine bottle in his hand, took a sip, and continued,

"I didn't kill anyone..."

Yao cried and said,

"I...I know you were wronged..."

"Sigh... It's useless to talk about this now. The official said I killed the person, so I killed him..."

Lai Dongsheng made a hoarse voice and laughed twice,

"I can't help you. You have so many children and grandchildren, but you still do such a low-level thing. I deserve it..."

Mrs. Yao was crying so much that she knelt on the ground, leaning her head against the door, and pulled up her sleeves to cover her mouth.

"well……"

Lai Dongsheng sighed again,

"I know... you killed Mrs. Qiao..."

Yao's cry stopped, and she slowly raised her head. Under the dim light, she saw her pale face. The expression on her face was very strange, including shock, fear, guilt, relief, and all kinds of complicated expressions.

All his thoughts were kneaded together, and the expression on his whole face was very strange. Lai Dongsheng sighed again,

"Sigh... I don't blame you, it's my fault... I was the one who hurt you... This is something we can only talk about, don't worry... I won't tell the official..."

After a pause he said again,

"After I die, you sell all the yards in the city and go back to the village to live a good life with your children. Just remember to burn more paper money for me when you worship!"

Yao stayed for a long time and then slowly responded,

"Master, I didn't mean to harm you..."

Lai Dongsheng Road,

"I know...I know...I just don't understand. Even if you killed her, who was the man in the house?"
