Di Ying's words were interrupted by Cha Weida.
Cha Weida's face became redder and redder the more she listened, and finally burst out after suppressing it to a certain extent.
"Stop talking, stop talking!"
He growled hoarsely.
Then, the sitting figure became rickety.
He put his elbows on his thighs, bent down at the waist, and held his head in pain with both hands, and a choking sound came from his throat.
Di Ying sighed slightly in his heart.
Cha Weida, no, Zhong Wei's reaction has confirmed Di Ying's accurate conclusion about all this.
He didn't want to talk or ask any more.
If he wanted to talk or ask again, Di Qing would rather change the time and place.
After all, he wanted to investigate this case to the end, even if it was the Governor's Mansion or Wu Conglie? Ah!
However, just when Di Ying was about to end this questioning, Zhong Wei finally spoke up.
"Master Di, why, why didn't you come earlier..."
The words that made people burst into tears caused the guards who were listening to the interrogation to blush and avert their gazes.
But the adults sat there firmly and did not move. They could only continue to prick up their ears and continue to listen to such a human tragedy.
"When my brother wanted Hui'er to participate in the selection of the governor's servants, I stopped him. Hui'er is thirteen years old, capable, hard-working, and good-looking.
We just need to help her find a good family, wait for her to have her hair, and happily send her off to get married.
But my brother wants her to learn more rules and raise her well, so that she can marry into a family that can afford to study and earn a good future for her children.
After listening to my brother's words, I felt that I was too short-sighted. I should not only know how to focus on the present and not know how to look to the future.
So, I agreed.
After that, my brother and I sent Hui'er...to the Governor's Mansion.
Because of Hui'er's appearance, she was directly hired by the Governor's Mansion.
But we are only willing to let Hui'er sign an employment contract, so Hui'er is just a little girl.
For us, this is actually very satisfying and reassuring.
The little maid at the bottom will not have the chance to offend her master.
But we don’t understand the powerful people very well, let alone Wu Conglie.
We are all farmers. Our ancestors have been farmers for generations. We are poor farmers who have never even entered the city a few times in our lives.
Not to mention the human nature of the human heart, I have not even seen a few doors of wealthy people. How is it possible to understand how ugly the human heart can be..."
As Zhong Wei talked, he broke down and cried.
The suppressed whimpering sounds, mixed with the sound of wind blowing outside from the open door, sent chills down one's spine to the bone marrow.
But no one moved, and no one thought about closing the door. They just stayed cold and listened.
Listening to Zhong Wei's voice that seemed to be squeezed out from deep in his throat.
"Because of our innocence and ignorance, Hui'er... died. When did she die? How did she die? We didn't know anything at that time.
The little maids on the ground floor have a day off every three days. This is what we agreed with the housekeeper when we signed the employment contract.
At first, Hui'er really came home every three days.
Seeing her lively and cheerful appearance, we all felt happy for her while eating the delicious food she brought back.
She was also like a happy house bird, chirping about all the interesting things she saw and heard as soon as she came home.
It seemed to help us open doors to new worlds one after another, and it made our whole family gain knowledge.
My two children are like candy, always clinging to Hui'er, always wanting to hear more good stories.
This made us at that time feel lucky that we were discerning...
But on the first day of July, Hui'er was supposed to come home, but the whole family stretched their necks in anticipation, but she never showed up.
We waited all day and all night.
At Mao hour on the second day of July, my brother couldn't wait any longer and rushed to Zhoucheng with the embroidered shoes my sister-in-law had made for Hui'er.
But he... never came back..."
At this point, Zhong Wei's sadness turned into hatred.
He propped himself up and said again with hatred: "On the third day of July, I went to the gate of the Governor's Mansion to inquire, but the people in the Governor's Mansion ignored me at all.
He only said that there was no girl named Hui'er, and no one came to see her at all.
I insisted on asking.
Because I watched Hui'er walk in with my own eyes, watched her put her fingerprints on the contract, listened to what she said about the things in the Governor's Mansion, and tasted the strange snacks she brought back with my own eyes. .
How could it not be?
There is absolutely no way that my brother has never come to see Hui'er.
But instead of asking the question, I was severely beaten by the gatekeepers.
Did you see the scar on my head? Did you see the scars on my hands? I said it was accidentally left behind when I was making an umbrella, but that was not the case. In fact, it was shot out by them that time.
I held on to my injury and returned home.
It’s not that I want to show my injuries to my family, I just don’t want to waste time outside because of my injuries and make my family worry about me anymore.
But my son can't sit still.
Hui'er's whereabouts, my elder brother's failure to return, and my injury all aroused the anger in his heart at the age of ten.
He actually quietly ran into the city and sneaked into the governor's mansion through the dog hole.
When I discovered that he was missing and asked my brother's son to come out to look for him, I only found his mangled body in a large pit in a mass grave.
My brother's eldest son is a steady man, and he went there after asking around. Not only was my son’s body found, but my elder brother’s was also found.
He also looked like he was beaten so hard that he couldn't even fight. He could only recognize them by their bloody clothes.
Our family is devastated.
My eldest brother's son endured his heartbreak and continued to go to the Governor's Mansion to inquire.
Only then did they find out thoroughly: it was Hui'er who bumped into the pillar after being raped by Wu Conglie.
My brother was beaten to death by the gatekeepers. I was able to save my life only because his death made the gatekeepers show mercy.
In other words: it’s just that they don’t dare to go too far in the street.
As for Hui'er's body, we still don't know where it is..."
Zhong Wei couldn't speak anymore.
Xie Jing handed over a cup of warm tea. Zhong Wei thanked him and took it, drinking it in one gulp.
Di Ying, like all the guards, secretly clenched his fists as he listened to Zhong Wei's soul scream.
Zhong Wei was breathing deeply there.
After a while, he continued.
"Our whole family can't afford this revenge. There are seniors at the top and young at the bottom. How can a big family go head-to-head with someone so powerful?
My eldest brother's son sharpens his knife day and night, which makes the whole family unstable.
I want to persuade, but I don’t know how.
I thought: wait until my injury heals, and then we can discuss a solution with him.
But before I could recover from my injuries, that night... suddenly a group of masked men broke into my home...
They were killing my family members unhurriedly... not even afraid that their screams would be heard in the village...
After my mother was stabbed, she stumbled and ran into my room, pulled off the bandage on my head, and wiped the blood from her body on my face.
She asked me to pretend to be dead... She also used her last strength to drag my upper body down into the pit and let me fall on my back at the head of the pit.
Unexpectedly, this trick was successful. I managed to survive.
Maybe... they don't care at all whether I, a seriously injured person, am alive or not. Maybe there were too many people coming, and they didn’t know whether some of them killed me or not...
They didn't even bother to do last-ditch damage...
I could vaguely hear my daughter moaning hard until she died.
No one gave her a patch of surgery so that she could walk away happily...
I survived, I survived like a loser.
At that time, I watched with my eyes open and looked up as they hacked my relatives to death, then watched them carry the bodies of my relatives and leave my home in a big way..."
