The White-Bone Demon of the Farm is as rich as a country

Chapter 244 Shooting yourself in the foot

This woman was originally just a little maid in the backyard of a rich man's house. What she saw and heard on a daily basis were nothing but trivial matters and family affairs. How could she have ever witnessed such a big scene?

The faces of the people before her were serious and aggressive, and their series of actions came at her like a torrential downpour, instantly breaking down the last vestiges of her inner defenses. For her, all of this was undoubtedly the straw that broke the camel's back.

At this moment, she was already scared out of her wits, her body trembling uncontrollably, and she no longer had the courage to continue lying and covering up the crime.

She trembled and explained the whole story: It turns out that -

Baldy Wu's family couldn't find a daughter of the right age to match Chu Ning'an. In desperation, Meng Wenxiu turned her attention to the maids in her own backyard. After careful selection, they finally spotted a girl named Li Rong.

The Wu family spared no expense, hiring a specialist to teach Li Rong for two full days. They also threatened Li Rong's parents and brothers, forcing her to go and haunt Chu Ning'an.

According to their initial assumption, if Li Rong could successfully win Chu Ning'an's favor and enter his sight, Meng Ruyue would inevitably be in dire straits. At that time, as long as Li Rong whispered something in Chu Ning'an's ear, Chu Ning'an would surely be able to serve the Wu family.

However, what no one expected was that the development of this matter was completely out of their control, and eventually it even reached the lobby of the county government office!

"Sir, please spare my life! Wuwuwu... I was forced to do this filthy thing! My parents are now being held tightly in the hands of those evil people. If I don't obey their orders, I'm afraid my poor parents will be in great trouble! I beg you, sir, to be discerning and save me and my family!"

The woman cried out at the top of her lungs and recounted the whole incident in fragments.

When she talked about the sad things, she broke down emotionally and cried bitterly. Finally, she banged her head heavily on the hard ground with a loud "bang".

The yamen runners standing on either side were all veterans who had served Magistrate Xu for many years. The scene of the trial of Meng Wenfeng last year was still fresh in their minds. For a moment, everyone couldn't help but wonder about the old Meng family: What kind of family is this? Not only do they single out their own relatives for harm, but after so many setbacks, why do they still refuse to repent? Is it really, as people often say, the kind who only care about the good things and not the punishments?

Magistrate Xu was well aware of the grievances between Ru Yue, Chu Ning'an, and the Meng family. Having personally handled the Meng Wenfeng incident, he had assumed the conflict between the two sides would be properly resolved.

But I never expected that just after dealing with Meng Wenfeng, Meng Wenxiu would suddenly appear! It seems that this Meng family is really as difficult to deal with as a dog-skin plaster. Once you get involved, it seems like you can't get rid of it. It's endless!

After thinking about it in his heart, he had already come up with a plan to deal with it.

He inquired more thoroughly about the unclear points in the case. When everything was ready, he decisively dispatched several yamen runners to Kunyang Town to summon Wu Dabald and Meng Wenxiu to the court for questioning.

After two days of trial, Wu Daguangtou and Meng Wenxiu finally found it difficult to conceal the truth any longer and had to truthfully confess all the details of their secret plot to hire someone to plot against Chu Ningan.

However, even though such a heinous act has been thoroughly investigated, based on the current information, it is not enough to cause Wu Daguangtou to lose everything.

How could someone as wise as Chu Ning'an not make arrangements for this?

Just as Magistrate Xu was about to pronounce the verdict, An Yi quietly appeared in the lobby. He carefully handed a thick stack of documents to Chu Ning'an.

After Chu Ning'an took the information, he handed it to County Magistrate Xu without any hesitation.

Magistrate Xu didn't pay much attention to this unexpected information at first, but when he read it carefully, his expression suddenly changed, his eyes widened, and his face was full of shock!

At this point, the Wu family has been completely destroyed by their own troubles.
