Xu Pingyi's expression did not change, but when he looked closely, he could see a trace of worry in his eyebrows.

Seeing the promise's reaction, he decided that she knew something inside, and asked, "What is the good show you are talking about, and what is going on?"

Xu Yue looked at Xiao Yuan's figure hidden in the crowd, and whispered everything she knew.

Xu Pingyi's expression became more and more solemn, and he kept shaking his head.

When Xiao Yuan entered the crowd, Wu Niangzi's maidservant and brother and sister-in-law were identifying Xu Qian as the murderer, and the county lord of Jiaren was talking to Xu Qian on the side, but the implication was quite that Xu Qian was the murderer.

Seeing this scene, he laughed so hard that his mouth grinned to the root of his ears, and he raised his voice and said, "Everyone, why don't you come into the house and talk, this kind of place is really not suitable for ......"

Before he finished speaking, he was robbed of his voice by Ying Tianfu's general judgment.

"What Xiao Shilang said is, Zhizhou, after all, this is Yan Sicheng's private residence, and we should escort the suspect back to the house for retrial. The general judge looked serious, and there was a hint of flattery in his voice, and after finishing speaking, Yu Guang swept around the main face of Jiaren County, and saw that there was a little more smile on her face, and her heart fell.

Xu Gucheng frowned, glanced at the verdict, and said in a deep voice: "The official servant broke into the Sicheng Mansion without documents, which is already a big inconsistency of the system, why are you paying attention to it now?"

Tongju's body stiffened, and then he took out a piece of paper from his sleeve, held it in his hand and showed it to everyone, and said with a smile: "Xu Shilang, I was too anxious at that time, and I didn't have time to give the official service papers, didn't I bring it? I'll send someone to tell you what is going on. Oh, I almost forgot that Lord Zhizhou is this suspect is my uncle. Such a relationship is also an unjustifiable ......"

After speaking, Tong Juan straightened up and raised his chin to the official.

The official officer understood, so he stepped forward to arrest Xu Qian.

Xu Qian's eyes looked back and forth on the faces of several people, weighing in her heart whether she should say that the tea ball was given to her by the county lord of Jiaren.

If the county lord of Jiaren admits it, then this mess will be completely thrown to the county lord of Jiaren, and she will be considered to have escaped. But if the county lord of Jiaren does not admit it. Not only could she not get out of this matter, but she also had to offend the county lord of Jiaren greatly.

When the county lord of Jiaren gave her a tea ball, only one of the maidservants of the county lord of Jiaren was present. Naturally, this servant girl would not help her identify her master.

If she tells the truth, the county lord of Jiaren can completely say that she is a lie.

Xu Qian thought about it for a while, and found that she had no human or material evidence, and there was no room for turning back on this matter.

The other side. Lu Yijian glanced at the official servant. The officer's outstretched hand retracted.

Lu Yi straightened his sleeves and said unhurriedly: "In order to avoid suspicion, Xu Shilang has not spoken to Xu Siniang since he stepped into the Sicheng Mansion, and he dares to ask where the words 'unorthodox' come from? This official is indeed Xu Siniang's uncle, but as a governor, I will not bend the law for personal gain, and everything is based on evidence! Now, I have some questions to ask Xu Siniang. Since you're all here, why don't you testify?"

He asked those present to testify. It means that the representative will try the case in the Sicheng Mansion.

Now that he has arrived, he will definitely not let Xu Qian step into the prison half a step before figuring out the matter.

If nothing else, just for his sister Lu.

The superiors understood the will, and the general judgment was no longer spoken, and the county lord of Jiaren stood up with a light smile and said: "Lord Zhizhou, I thought that if you want to return Siniang's innocence, it is best to let others interrogate you, so as to better reflect your righteousness." ”

The implication is that even if you don't go to the prefect, you can't interrogate Xu Qian.

When she said this, it was equivalent to blocking Lu Yijian's words, and there was a moment of silence in the scene.

Xiao Yuan stroked his palm, breaking the silence, he said: "A few adults, the county lord of Jiaren, why don't you let me interrogate?" I was also in the Peony Garden that day, and I happened to be in the Sicheng Mansion today, and I happened to be the one who knew the most about this matter by coincidence. ”

The other young heroes invited by Yan Shu, if it weren't for Xu Gucheng and Lu Yijian's superior knowledge in strategy and theory, and their poetry attainments were very good, they would have left early and stayed away from this matter.

At this moment, when they heard Xiao Yuanmao's self-recommendation, they were all surprised.

The county lord of Jiaren has always thought that Xiao Yuan is the representative of the children of Bianjing City, and if he interrogates him, he can slap Lu Yijian in the face, and secondly, add some muddy water to this matter, and in the end, he will inevitably have to let the general judge interrogate.

Xiao Yuan's proposal, she was willing to agree, so that a gentleman who did not do his job was much better than Lu Yijian's interrogation.

Tong Juan stared at the face of the county lord of Jiaren and decided how to speak, and said at this moment: "This is indeed a method, you can try it." ”

Lu Yijian and Xu Gucheng are the people who know Xiao Yuan's details, Xiao Yuan stood up to help at this moment, they were relieved in their hearts, and naturally they also responded.

Both sides agreed, and Xiao Yuan proposed that everyone go to the flower hall, and he asked questions slowly.

Entering the flower hall, Xu Gucheng saw that Xu Pingyi was also there, and nodded to him imperceptibly, signaling him not to worry.

As Xu Qian's father, he naturally can't talk much today, but now that Xiao Yuan is coming to ask, he is still relieved.

"You, what's your name?" Xiao Yuan smiled faintly and asked from the name.

Xu Qian turned her head and replied: "The fourth mother of the Xu family, the name of the girl, it is inconvenient to say ......"

It's ridiculous that so many people let this ruffian question her!

"Don't say it? If Lord Zhizhou asks you? Don't say it? If I ask you if you are the one who poisoned Wu Niangzi, you won't say it either? Then let people take you to prison directly!" Xiao Yuan spoke mercilessly, his face full of mockery.

"You ......"

Xu Qian was speechless by Xiao Yuan.

What kind of sin did she create, so that she had to be interrogated by Xiao Yuan?

After taking a deep breath, she turned her head and replied in a low voice, "The name of the girl is a Qianzi." ”

"Okay, thank you for your cooperation, then I'll ask again, is that tea group for Wu Niangzi?"

"Yes. ”

"When?"

"It's probably the middle of the month, but I don't remember what day it is. After Xu Qian finished speaking, she suddenly realized that Xiao Yuan asked her the same question that her uncle asked her before.

"So, where did the tea balls come from?"

"A friend. ”

"Which friend?" Xiao Yuan smiled a little, he looked casual and informal, but the questions he asked were extremely critical.

"This ...... It is inconvenient to say. Although Xu Qian was not stupid enough to raise her eyes to look at the county lord of Jiaren, her body still shifted a little towards the position where the county lord of Jiaren was.

"Do you want to go directly to prison? You have never seen the tea ball that everyone said, but after I asked you, you directly replied that you sent it! It can be seen that you really don't care about your life and innocence, you want to go directly to prison!"

When Xu Qian heard this, she raised her head sharply and said, "You keep saying that I sent it, but now you say it again! Moreover, how can someone like you know the identity of the person who gave me the tea group!"

When the county lord of Jiaren heard this, his brows furrowed.

Xiao Yuan stroked his palms happily, people will still tell some truths in anger, he said: "That's good, it seems that the status of the person who gave you the tea ball is not low, at least much higher than me, a rich kid who has nothing to do." Xu Siniang has not been in Bianjing for a long time, and there are only a few people she knows, and the people who can give you such a precious tea group can be counted on one hand. ”

Xu Qian was taken aback, in the range that Xiao Yuan said, it seemed that only the county lord of Jiaren met the requirements.

Without waiting for her to answer, Xiao Yuan continued: "General judgment, do you know how the tea group that poisoned Wu Niangzi can be obtained?"

Tong Ju didn't expect Xiao Yuan to call him by name, and in a daze, he almost told the truth, and after some entanglement, he didn't answer.

The general judge did not answer, but Lu Yijian said: "Most of this kind of tea group is rewarded by the official family, and it is immediately time to check who the official family has rewarded this kind of tea group after the Qingming Festival." ”

"Thank you, Lord Zhizhou, but, since it is such a valuable tea group, and the noble person gave it to the fourth lady, how can you be willing to give it to an embroidered lady?" Xiao Yuan smiled meaningfully, and Yu Guang admired the expression of the county lord of Jiaren.

Xu Qian's face darkened and she didn't answer.

Xiao Yuan replied by himself, and said: "Most of the time, your noble friend wants to give a tea group to Mrs. Wu, and you just help her hand it over, otherwise, where will you get the money to exchange for such a precious tea group?" Even if there is, with your courage, I am afraid that you will be reluctant." (To be continued.) )
