There was this scene:
On a summer morning, a delicate maid expressionlessly walked towards the well and jumped in.
There was no emotion, much less hesitation.
Even her hatred and fear had been frozen by the pain.
She probably only wanted to be free.
… …
Little Cui's body was fished up and left cold in the courtyard.
Hu Shaomeng glanced at it. "This Little Cui, is she from Black Ox Town?"
Steward Hu said with some hesitation, "That's not it. She's from … "
Hu Shaomeng waved his hand and interrupted him. "Hurry up and bury her. Don't make trouble for me."
Ge Heng's expression relaxed.
"But," Jiang Wang said, "the cause of death hasn't been determined yet. If she's buried like this, will she be able to rest in peace? Won't the authorities get involved? "
"I can represent the authorities. And it's very obvious that she committed suicide, "Hu Shaomeng said patiently. He shouted at Steward Hu," What are you still standing there for? Call a few people to bury her. "
Steward Hu could only brace himself and shout, "Call a few people to help!"
The surrounding miners didn't move, nor did they speak.
They didn't dare to argue.
But silence was a silent attitude.
"But why did she commit suicide for no reason?" Jiang Wang didn't hide his attitude at all. "You must know that forcing someone to commit suicide is also killing!"
Hu Shaomeng turned his head and stared at Jiang Wang. "I find that you have a lot of problems. You're new here, don't you think you're too much of an outsider?"
He was very rude.
"That's right," Old Man Ge said darkly. "A mere mortal committed suicide, what are you making a fuss about?"
The world was like this.
No matter how many people worked together, they couldn't bridge the gap between Transcendent cultivators and mortals. Even the most basic right of life and death wasn't guaranteed.
Just like Concubine Song, who had also jumped into a well. Jiang Wang had asked Zhu Weiwo to borrow a spear, but at most, he could only force Lin Zhenglun to pay with his life.
That was already the default limit of society's rules. As for Lin Zhengli, who had caused this tragedy, and even the entire Lin Family, they didn't have to pay anything.
Not to mention that Lin Zhengli had only forced Lin Zhenglun, it could only be considered as indirectly causing Concubine Song's death. Even if he really did kill Concubine Song, the Lin family had ten thousand ways to get him off the hook. And at that time, it was impossible for Jiang Wang to get the so-called justice.
This was the way of the world.
Both Hu Shaomeng and Ge Heng were used to it.
Zhang Hai and Qian Qian also remained silent.
"Xiao Cui didn't commit suicide. She was forced to her death by you!" A voice shouted through gritted teeth.
Looking in the direction of the voice, Xiao Xiao, who was as thin as a blade of grass, was standing outside the courtyard, her hands tightly gripping the door frame. Because he had used too much strength, his knuckles had turned white.
She gritted her teeth, but her voice trembled.
She was obviously filled with fear, but at the same time, she was also filled with hatred.
She really didn't know what the consequences would be if she spoke up now.
However, she really wanted to say something and do something. Not only for Xiao Cui's corpse, but also for his tormented self.
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Ge Heng suddenly took a step forward and was about to explode.
Jiang Wang took a step forward and stood in front of him, forcefully stopping his momentum.
He turned around and said to Xiao Xiao, "If you have something to say, just say it. Don't be afraid."
"Dugu An! What do you want to do? Do you really want to be my enemy? "Ge Heng was furious. He glanced at Hu Shaomeng, but Hu Shaomeng didn't say anything.
As long as he didn't make a move, Jiang Wang couldn't be bothered with his clamor.
He gave Xiao Xiao an encouraging look. "As long as it's the truth, you can say it. In this world, there's no reason not to speak. And there's no reason not to speak the truth! "
"Xiao Cui told me a long time ago that she couldn't live anymore. Ge Heng is an old pervert. Every day, he tortures her and beats her … "Xiao Xiao couldn't stop trembling. She gritted her teeth and said," If I hadn't met Master Dugu, I might have jumped down today. "
Shuanzi's eyes were red and bloodshot. "Miss Xiao Xiao!"
He fell to his knees in front of Hu Shaomeng and kowtowed. "Master Hu! I beg you to uphold justice, I beg you to uphold justice! "
Ge Heng could feel that the surrounding miners were looking at him with unconcealable anger. It was as if they wanted to tear him apart.
He wasn't afraid of these untrained ordinary people, but he was worried that it would affect the other transcendent cultivators present, especially Hu Shaomeng's decision.
"You're spouting nonsense! You dare to slander me! Slander a transcendent cultivator! "He glared at Xiao Xiao." Do you know what crime this is? You'll implicate your whole family! "
However, just as he finished speaking, the scene suddenly became deathly silent.
Everyone was stunned.
The reason for that was because Xiaoxiao had taken off her clothes in front of everyone.
She was only wearing undergarments. Her thin, weak, and tender body was exposed in front of everyone.
Of course, this also included the bruises on her arms, thighs, and body.
Xiao Xiao's face was expressionless, but two lines of tears flowed down. "These were all made by you. Do you still remember? Can this prove that I'm not lying? If it's not enough, I can take off more. "
As she spoke, she really went to take off her undergarments.
However, Jiang Wang had already grabbed her hand.
"That's enough." Jiang Wang said.
He took off his outer garment and wrapped it around Xiao Xiao's battered body.
He turned around to look at Hu Shaomeng. "What does young master Hu say?"
For a girl to be naked in front of so many people, what kind of humiliation was this?
The greater the humiliation, the greater the courage.
No one could doubt her words anymore.
Hu Shaomeng's brows all knit together. "Hand him over to the Jia City government. One of you will take him there."
Ge Heng's unsightly expression relaxed. As long as Hu Shaomeng didn't plan on personally taking action, then there was still a lot of leeway.
"I remember young master Hu just said that you can represent the government?" Jiang Wang almost couldn't restrain his anger. He coldly said, "Why do you want to hand him over now?"
"Surnamed Dugu!" Hu Shaomeng gloomily looked at Jiang Wang. "I'll tolerate you one last time, but there's a limit to my tolerance. I don't care what grudges you have with Ge Heng. You can leave my mine and take care of it outside. If you want to borrow a knife to kill someone, then you have to consider yourself first. You can't even handle my knife! "
He, Hu Shaomeng, didn't believe that this reckless cultivator was doing this for the sake of justice. In his eyes, Dugu An targeting Ge Heng and not letting him go was because he already had a grudge and was using this opportunity to get revenge.
He didn't want to care about these things. In any case, Ge Heng really wasn't a good person. He only wanted to calm down the mine as soon as possible and smoothly close it down.
There was no problem with these two fighting to the death, but they had to fight outside. After leaving the mine. He didn't want to cause too much of a ruckus and attract the attention of Jia City, affecting his plan.
Ge Heng also suppressed his anger. "Dugu An, you have a problem with this old man. How about you escort this old man to Jia City? Let's take care of our grudges ourselves. Be a bit more sensible and don't disturb young master Hu. "
He had already made up his mind. After leaving the mine, he would use all his strength to kill this reckless cultivator.
Too reckless!
She had only targeted him once, and he was already trying to kill her!
Jiang Wang shook his head. He already completely understood these people's attitudes.
"No need to be so troublesome."
He lightly sighed for the young girl who died in the summer morning.
He took a step forward, already standing in front of Ge Heng. "I've decided to judge you right here."
