Chapter 480: Heaven’s Rules

With Song Zhou’s defense, the woman didn’t dare to be negligent at all. She rushed out and asked the people in the courtyard to inform Constable Wang.
Constable Wang was annoyed by Song Jianxing’s pestering. When he heard the woman’s words, he finally found an excuse. Without another word, he sneered and instructed his buddies to go forward. He flipped Song Jianxing, who had been shouting for most of the day but hadn’t shed a single tear, over and tied him up.
No one had expected this sudden turn of events, especially Song Jianxing, who was tied up tightly. He scolded with indignance, “Are you crazy? What right do you have to tie me up? Not only did you not seek justice for my mother, but you even arrested me. Is there any justice in this world?!”
Song Jianxing wasn’t the only one. The surrounding commoners were also confused and began to discuss with their companions.
Constable Wang didn’t hide it for Song Jianxing. As Song Jianxing’s neighbor for many years, he knew very well what the man in front of him was like!
At this moment, she spat at him and scolded him disdainfully, “Shut up! Don’t you know why I arrested you?
Who killed your mother? Do you want me to remind you again?”
Constable Wang’s words made Song Jianxing’s face turn pale and he looked away in a panic as he tried to explain, “What nonsense are you talking about?
How could 1 poison my mother? Everyone around me knows that my mother has been a widow for many years!
Who doesn’t know how I treat my mother?
Only that vicious woman would have such evil and unfilial thoughts because she was dissatisfied with my mother! Instead of punishing that vicious woman, you tied me up.”
It had to be said that Song Jianxing’s argument was quite convincing.
At this moment, many people who had come to watch were people who had lived in this area for many years. They had been neighbors with the Song family for a few lifetimes!
They knew about the Song family’s matters very clearly.
Although Song Jianxing didn’t treat his wife and child well, he was indeed quite filial to his mother, Old Madam Guo. It wasn’t an exaggeration to say that he listened to everything she said.
Therefore, it didn’t make sense for Constable Wang to accuse him of killing his mother, Old Madam Guo!
“You won’t poison your mother, but what if your target was your wife, Song Zhou?” Before Constable Wang could speak, Lin Suisui, who was wearing a veiled hat and leading Bai Guo and the others out of the courtyard, retorted Song Jianxing.
After saying that, Lin Suisui ignored Song Jianxing, who was rolling on the ground. She turned around and gestured for Bai Guo to show Constable Wang the two thick clay bowls on the tray.
“The two bowls here are the bowls that contained last night’s egg custard. Although they had already been washed by the unknowing Song Zhou last night, they had only been washed for a short period of time, so there are still traces of poison here.
Speaking of which, it was strange that one of these two bowls was poisonous and the other was non-poisonous.
According to Song Zhou, she had been called over by her mother-in-law yesterday after making the egg custard. When she came out of her mother-in-law’s room, Mr. Song had already finished his portion and placed the egg custard he had saved for her in the kitchen.
This matter was overheard by her mother-in-law, who followed her out later. She then sent Song Zhou to prepare water for Mr. Song to wash up. After she entered the kitchen and ate the egg custard that was supposed to be for Song Zhou, she became her daughter-in-law’s scapegoat!”
Lin Suisui’s words not only made Song Jianxing lose the ability to quibble, but also stunned the surrounding crowd.
If that was the truth, why did Song Jianxing suddenly want to kill his wife?
“But why did he suddenly want to poison Song Zhou?” Constable Wang froze for a long time before he asked this question on behalf of the surrounding crowd.
“You have to ask the eldest son of the Song family who’s lying on the ground!” Lin Suisui glanced at Song Jianxing, who was lying on the ground and trembling because he could no longer suppress his fear. She exposed his true colors in public. “Old Madam Guo has always been very dissatisfied with Song Zhou, who gave birth to three daughters in a row. She thinks that she ruined her precious son’s life!
Under the influence of Old Madam Guo’s attitude, Song Jianxing became increasingly dissatisfied with Song Zhou. He also felt that Song Zhou was incompetent, since she couldn’t give birth to a son for him!
Therefore, in the past two years, he gradually started a relationship with the eldest madam of the Fang family, who lived alone at the entrance of this alley.
The reason she chose to make a move now was entirely because the Fang family’s Eldest Madam was pregnant. If she didn’t enter the Song family, she wouldn’t be able to hide her stomach anymore!
However, for so many years after marrying into the Song family, although Song Zhou didn’t give birth to a son, there was nothing wrong with her in other aspects. Most importantly, in order to expand the business of the dry goods shop last year, the eldest son of the Song family borrowed a considerable amount of money from the Zhou family!
If he mentioned that she wanted to divorce her at this moment, the Zhou family would probably immediately fall out with the Song family and ask them to return the money!
Therefore, Song Jianxing had no choice but to come up with the idea of poisoning his wife! After all, Song Zhou had no children for so many years, so people might think she committed suicide because she couldn’t give birth to a son!
He thought that he had thought everything through, but he didn’t expect to accidentally poison his mother in the end!
It had to be said that Mr. Song was really ruthless!
Seeing that the matter was settled, you decided to go all out and kill Song Zhou to silence her. Then, you would accuse Song Zhou of poisoning Madam Sun.
This way, not only can you escape the crime of killing your mother, but you can also take the opportunity to get rid of Song Zhou. You can also use the excuse that the Song Zhou poisoned your mother to keep the money you borrowed from the Zhou family!
However, remember that evildoers will definitely be punished by the heavens! You calculated everything, but forgot to get rid of the arsenic medicine bag you bought from outside. I’ve already arranged for someone to use the arsenic medicine bag found in the kitchen to investigate the origin of that arsenic!
Moreover, 1 even instructed someone to go to the Fang family and bring Eldest Madam back. We’ll know if she’s pregnant when the midwife investigates later!
Song Jianxing, the evidence is conclusive.. You won’t be able to escape your crimes!”
