Chapter 78 Yu An is not his biological child
At this time, Luo Chengyu stopped talking, and Yu An spoke instead.
"Grandpa, actually, my mother didn't run away with anyone else. She was suffocated to death by my father and buried under this camellia tree."
When Yu An thought of the pain his mother suffered before her death, he burst into tears again.
"What? Was your mother killed by Luo Chengyu?"
The old man couldn't believe it when he heard this.
"Yes, Grandpa. I saw it with my own eyes. Two years ago, my mom and my dad had an argument and my dad beat her up. My mom wanted to go out for help, but my dad pulled her back. Then, my dad threatened her with my life, so my mom didn't dare to run away and let him beat her... While my mom was struggling, my dad covered her mouth and nose with his hands and suffocated her to death."
Yu An told Lord Mu and his grandfather everything he had seen that year, exposing the fact that Luo Chengyu had killed his mother.
Time passed quickly and it was dusk. Coincidentally, people from the village who were shopping at the flower market came back one after another. They knew that something had happened at Luo Chengyu's house, so they gathered to watch the excitement. As more and more people gathered, Luo Chengyu's yard was soon filled.
When everyone heard Yu An's words, there was an uproar and everyone felt it was incredible.
"This Luo Chengyu usually looks quite honest and doesn't talk much, so how could he be a murderer?"
"Isn't it? I really can't tell! I don't know who the other three women buried in that pit are?"
"..."
The crowd of onlookers began to discuss in low voices.
"Luo Chengyu, who are those three unknown women?" Jiang Yimo asked.
"Oh! If you have the ability, go check it yourself. I won't tell you."
Luo Chengyu was almost pinned to the ground, but his tone of voice was still so arrogant.
"You don't have to tell me, that's fine too!"
"Master Mu, since the suspect is so stubborn, you should use the torture methods you should use to interrogate the criminal."
"What this girl said makes sense. Someone come and give her the caning."
Lord Mu immediately adopted her suggestion and punished Luo Chengyu.
Upon hearing the order, the people who were holding Luo Chengyu immediately tied him up under an osmanthus tree in the yard. A soldier got a small whip from somewhere and started whipping Luo Chengyu more than ten times.
But Luo Chengyu didn't say a word.
"Beat him, keep beating him until he makes a sound." Lord Mu said again.
Then, the soldier on duty raised the whip and hit Luo Chengyu.
He whipped him more than twenty times in a row. Everyone present gasped in shock, but Luo Chengyu remained silent.
"Stop fighting!" Jiang Yimo suddenly said at this time.
Seeing that it was getting dark, Luo Chengyu was so stubborn that he probably wouldn't confess even if he was beaten until dawn. But she had other things to do and didn't have the time to waste with him. Since he was so stubborn, don't blame her for being cruel.
Jiang Yimo immediately ordered one of Feng Wuhen's guards to fetch a basin of clean water. Then, she took out a packet of medicine powder from her small bag and poured it into the water. She then found a wooden stick to stir the powder evenly, picked up the basin and poured the water on Luo Chengyu.
Everyone was puzzled by Jiang Yimo's actions.
But after waiting for a few minutes, everyone realized how cruel Jiang Yimo's methods were.
Thumb-sized blisters grew on Luo Chengyu's face and hands at a speed visible to the naked eye. It was painful and itchy and extremely uncomfortable. He couldn't scratch it, so he couldn't help but roar in anger.
At the same time, he exuded a sweet smell, which soon attracted all kinds of insects to crawl onto his body, fly onto his body, and crawl around on his face. Some of them crawled into his nostrils and ears, and some even crawled into his clothes...
"Ah! Quick! Get the bugs off me! I admit it! I admit it!"
Luo Chengyu's voice revealed his collapse.
The old man felt very distressed when he saw his son being tortured like this, but his son had killed someone, and as a father, he could not protect him.
Luo Chengyu was his only son. He lost his mother when he was two or three years old. He was very obedient and talkative when he was a child. When he was ten years old, he insisted on running away with a young man from the village to learn a skill. No one knew where he had been for five or six years. After he came back, he had changed completely. He became taciturn and unfamiliar with him.
After staying at home for two or three years, he ran away again. Then, he disappeared for a few years. When he came back again, he brought back a young and beautiful woman with a big belly.
A few months later, the woman gave birth to a grandson for him, but Luo Chengyu was not happy and called him a bastard.
"Hey……"
Thinking of this, the old man sighed.
But at this moment, Yu An did not feel the slightest sympathy for Luo Chengyu.
When his mother was alive, Luo Chengyu treated him very badly. He often abused him, didn't give him food, and beat his mother. His mother could only secretly get food for him every day.
After his mother died, Luo Chengyu abused him even more severely, not giving him food or clothes. When he was hungry, he could only run to some restaurants and teahouses in the city to steal some leftover food from the customers.
Sometimes he couldn't steal food and was very hungry so he would run to his grandfather to ask for some food, but if his father found out, he would be severely beaten; sometimes he was caught stealing food in a restaurant and was beaten and sent back, but his father would beat him up even more.
Yu An no longer has any fatherly affection for his father Luo Chengyu.
Just as the old man and Yu An were lost in thought, Jiang Yimo heard that Luo Chengyu was willing to confess, so she asked Feng Wuhen's guards to fetch a few more basins of clean water and poured them on him without adding any medicine powder. This made Luo Chengyu feel better.
"Tell me, why did you kill these women? Let's start with Yu An's mother." Jiang Yimo said.
When Luo Chengyu heard her say "Yu An's mother", he frowned slightly and asked in confusion, "Who is Yu An?"
"Yu An is the name I gave him. Is the name you gave him a name based on what people call him?"
"Humph! He's just a bastard!" Luo Chengyu replied.
"Don't get off topic. I want to ask you, why did you hit Yu An's mother that night? And you accidentally smothered her to death."
"She is just a bitch. She is dead if she dies."
Hearing this, Jiang Yimo couldn't help but suspect that her guess was correct, and Yu An was not Luo Chengyu's biological son.
So, she immediately opened her mouth to confirm: "Yu An, he is not your biological son, right?"
"Yes, that damn woman took advantage of my absence and had an affair with one of my best friends. I was so mad at the time that I killed her directly. But not long after, that damn woman got pregnant with my child—"
When Luo Chengyu thought of this, he became furious.
