Meng Si saw Master Chu coming back, so he said: "Father-in-law, mother-in-law, it's not that the daughter-in-law is reluctant to separate the husband and wife for a few years, it's just that this matter is too sudden, and the daughter-in-law wants to ...... Then ask my grandmother what she meant. ”

"But Master Liu also said that in case there are any more variables...... Mrs. Chu actually hopes that her son can be acquitted, but in the end she is still worried.

Master Chu twisted his beard and muttered for a while before he said: "What the daughter-in-law said makes sense, this matter can have such a result now, it must also be the result of the strong help of the in-laws and the Dingwang Mansion, and now if you don't notify them, you will make your own decisions, and it doesn't seem very respectful, let's ask first, if you fight for it, wouldn't it be better if the son can really be acquitted?"

Even her husband said so, and Mrs. Chu had nothing to say.

So he ordered someone to set up a car, and he was about to go to Mengfu, before getting into the car, Master Chu hesitated, but decided to let Meng Si go first, after all, there are some words, it may be inconvenient to say that there are too many people.

Meng Si saw Mrs. Meng and relayed Master Liu's words.

Hearing such a result, Mrs. Meng was surprised, what surprised her was not that the Chu family brothers could get a light sentence, but that she was surprised why the Hong family changed their minds so quickly, after all, it was a dead son, even if the wind direction was not right now, but the Hong family was too fast, right?

This Xiaofu's means are really too clever, now that King Ding is not in the city, Xiaofu is a woman, almost without leaving home, and can actually have such a means, which is really impressive.

It's just that this kind of means makes her feel a little cold, if it is that day. Xiaofu pointed the finger at her, how could she be able to defeat her.

"Grandmother, is there something wrong?" Meng Si saw that Mrs. Meng's spirit was a little dazed, and her heart couldn't help but lift a little.

"......No," Mrs. Meng came back to her senses and said, "I was just thinking, how to deal with this matter, what do your father-in-law and mother-in-law think?"

Meng Si said: "My mother-in-law is a little scared, she thinks that it is excellent to have such a result now, and she is afraid that if she does not agree, there will be some twists and turns." As for my father-in-law. I think he means, in fact, I still hope that they can be acquitted, after all, with the reputation of exile, it will be difficult to stay in Yancheng in the future. ”

Madame Monte nodded. After thinking for a moment, he said, "This matter." If it were me. It's hard to decide, but with what I know about your little aunt, as long as she intervenes. In addition, I can tell you that last time your little aunt came, she also mentioned some things about this case to me, and some things were not determined at that time, so I can't tell you, now I can reveal some, your little aunt said that the government actually has some clues that are extremely beneficial to the Chu family brothers, and now that Master Liu is so eager, thinking about this clue is not trivial, the Hong family is unwilling to make things bigger, so as not to be unfavorable to them, if you can grit your teeth at this time, the chance of acquittal is quite large, take a step back, even if you can't be acquitted, to determine the ability of the palace, since it has already been shot, it will not make things worse, unless you are really guilty of it, track it down, and be caught, that's another story. ”

"Xianggong is a good person, and his father-in-law and mother-in-law are also law-abiding people, and there is absolutely no way for anyone to be arrested. Month said this with great firmness.

"Then what are you afraid of?" Mrs. Meng laughed, "This is good news, you should be happy, Master Liu shouldn't reply anything, if they come to ask again, you just say that you believe that Lord Fu Yin will deal with it impartially." ”

Meng Si wrote down what Mrs. Meng said, and then asked, "Then the little aunt, should you go and say thank you?"

"No, don't go. Mrs. Meng immediately said, "Your little aunt doesn't like to be disturbed, I really want to thank you, and I will go when I have nothing to do, the case has not yet been concluded, and now you have landed at the door of the palace, so that people may see that they may gossip." ”

Meng Si heard Mrs. Meng say this, naturally she didn't dare to go again, in addition, she was also afraid of this princess aunt in her heart, she only felt that if this princess aunt didn't like anyone, the means were definitely stronger than her mother-in-law Mi's, Mi's strength was only on the surface, but it was just a few beatings, and Aunt Princess's couldn't say it well.

Since he came, after Meng Si talked to Mrs. Meng, he went to the inner courtyard to see Meng Nian, Meng Nian has been living in Mrs. Meng's house since she came back from Meng Yan last time, and the Chu family is eventful, Meng Nian is timid, afraid of scaring her, these things have been hidden from her, and even the subordinates dare not talk much, therefore, she didn't know that something like this happened at her sister's house, and she kept thinking about going back to see her sister.

……

On the side of the mansion, Zhu Yinggang couldn't help but have a headache when he heard Master Liu's relay.

Judging from the attitude of the Chu family, just to save his life, but he didn't expect that only a few days later, the wind changed slightly, and the Chu family was actually angry, and he was not satisfied with the sentence of several years of exile, and it seemed that he had to be acquitted.

This is really difficult for him, to be honest, with the clues dug up by Zhang Zhutou, it is really not enough to acquit the Chu family brothers, even if it can be proved that the cause of Hong Zhihao's death was death caused by taking medicine, the Chu family is not at fault at all.

How did he reply to the Hong family?

Master Liu, who was next to him, saw that the adult was so upset, and couldn't help but remind: "My lord, this Hong family is so eager to close the case, is it because the second son of Hong took some medicine?"

The son of the family has some hobbies, which is not a new thing in the city, there are many sons who eat this kind of thing, and when it spreads, it is only laughed at a few times, and this Hong family is not the kind of scholarly family who has to be famous, how can it be because of this matter, there is no need to kill the enemy to pay for his life?

A word woke up the person in the dream, and Zhu Ying also felt strange.

Yes, just a few testimonies from the pharmacy guys are not enough to conclude that the second son of Hong took medicine to death, what is the Hong family afraid of, is there something else?

Just as he was thinking about it, the drum of the government was beaten.

Some people beat drums and shout grievances, and the drums of this government office are not something that anyone can beat if they want to. Unless the case is serious, for the sake of neighborhood conflicts, trivial matters such as stealing chickens and touching dogs cannot be beaten, and the complaint can only be beaten if the case is urgent and serious, otherwise it is contempt of the court and dozens of boards can be beaten.

Now this knock is so urgent, and the official has not stopped it, obviously the case is serious, and Zhu Ying, as a parent official, should immediately put down this matter. Change into official uniforms and ascend to the court.

Kneeling at the foot of the hall was a man dressed in green clothes. Combing her hair in a double bun, she is obviously a little girl dressed as a small maid from a large family, with a beautiful face, and she is about fifteen or sixteen years old.

Zhu Ying was shocked. According to the procedure, he shouted: "Who is kneeling in the hall?"

The girl was startled. The officials standing on both sides shouted in unison. I was so frightened that my whole body trembled, my lips trembled, and I couldn't speak for a long time.

Zhu Ying saw this. It's not good to drink anymore, so he softened his tone a little, and asked, "Who are you and who are you going to sue?"

"Slave, slave Xiaoxia...... No...... No, it's not a lawsuit against anyone." Xiaoxia trembled for a long time, but still couldn't say a whole sentence.

Zhu Ying frowned and said, "Don't tell you what drum you play, this drum has to have a major grievance to be beaten, you hit the board indiscriminately, look at you a little girl, you are still young, forget it this time, you go back." ”

"No......" Xiaoxia shouted.

Master Liu stepped forward and persuaded: "Girl, this complaint is not a trivial matter, if you are bullied by anyone, you should find Li Zheng to mediate, don't go to court at every turn, adults have every opportunity, and don't bother him with trivial matters." ”

"Slave maid, slave maid wants adults to save their lives. Xiaoxia finally said a whole sentence.

Master Liu first glanced at Zhu Ying above, and then asked kindly, "Help, whose life is being saved?"

Xiaoxia said: "Please save the slave and the slave's grandmother." ”

Hearing that it was a lawsuit involving human life, Zhu Ying didn't dare to be sloppy, and wanted to pat the shocking wood again and ask, but she was afraid of scaring this girl, so she was trembling for a long time and couldn't speak, so she held her temperament and motioned Master Liu to continue asking.

Master Liu asked again, "Who are you and who is your grandmother?"

Xiaoxia said: "Slave Xiaoxia, together with her grandmother, is a descendant of the Hong family. ”

The Hong family, as soon as he heard the surname Hong, Zhu Ying's eyelids couldn't help jumping again.

Shouldn't it be the Hongdaotai family that has given him the most headache recently?

Master Liu saw that Zhu Ying's face in the hall was very bad, and he also thought of the crux of the problem, and hurriedly asked, "That Hong family, make it clear?"

Xiaoxia said: "The Hong family in Yongchun Lane in the west of the city, our lord is a Taoist. ”

Zhu Ying's face turned completely dark, he was really afraid of something.

This matter could not be interrogated in court, so as not to ask about any indecisive safety, so he ordered someone to take Xiaoxia to the inner room, and he and Master Zhu interrogated together.

The results of the interrogation shocked Zhu Ying.

Previous questions have also been thoroughly answered.

No wonder the Hong family is so anxious to close the case, it turns out that the inside story is like this.

Although Xiaoxia only knows a little bit, since Zhu Ying is a veteran of solving cases, he has been investigating this case for a long time before, and he almost didn't clarify some questions, but now Xiaoxia knows a little bit that just answers his questions and makes him string this matter together.

According to Xiaoxia, her grandmother, Mama Ma, heard Mrs. Hong Er Young tell Mrs. Hong that Hong Er Gongzi used a medicine called Gujing Waves, and also said that Hong Er Gongzi was related to the death of Miss Hu Qi.

Zhu Ying also heard a little about the death of Miss Hu Qi, although the Hu family did not report the case, but some rumors still reached his ears, but he didn't want to be troublesome, from his years of experience in handling cases, Miss Hu Qi was indeed a secret knot, as for whether he committed suicide in shame or the Hu family wanted Miss Hu Qi to die in order to cover up his ugliness, he couldn't judge it for a while.

Now what Xiaoxia said is exactly the right thing.

He can deduce that Miss Hu Qi's belly was raised by Hong Zhihao, a playboy, and her brother-in-law and sister-in-law are always easier to get hold of than ordinary people.

The minutiae in the middle don't have to be investigated, anyway, a girl who is not married, whether she is drugged or not, this Hong Zhihao can't escape the charge of seduction.

This is not the most serious now, according to Xiaoxia, after Mrs. Hong first whispered a few words in Mrs. Hong's ear, Mrs. Hong immediately fainted, it can be seen that there is something more serious than seducing Miss Hu Qi.

As for what it is, there is no need to investigate it for the time being, and Xiaoxia's grandmother, Mama Ma, was suspicious of Mrs. Hong because she heard a sentence in the ear of Mrs. Hong's second young lady, and wanted to kill her.

Xiaoxia escaped overnight, worried that her grandmother could only come to the yamen to beat the drum and complain.

The case is not complicated, the next person knows the secret of the master's family, was wiped out, and escaped, if it is an ordinary family, people's lives are at stake, even if it is a subordinate who sells himself, he can't help but kill the master at will, warn which master, don't be too ugly to do things.

But the things involved in this are too terrifying.

Zhu Ying didn't know what to do for a while.

When he was struggling, the official came to report, saying that the Hongfu had sent someone to ask the government to help arrest a fugitive slave.

Zhu Ying looked at Xiao Xia, who was kneeling on the ground and trembling with fright, it must be inappropriate to hand over people to the Hong family like this, but if you want to stay, what should you do, and continue to investigate this case?

I'm afraid that if I continue to track it down, the things behind will be even more terrifying, and it is not something that he can solve with a small Yancheng Mansion Yin.

"Master, why don't you let the students go out and explore the Hong family's tone first, and see what they want?" asked Master Liu tentatively.

"That's it. Zhu Ying sighed and instructed Master Liu, "First warn the people of the Hong family, let them not mess around, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, human life is not so easy to say no." ”

"Yes, sir. Master Liu said and withdrew.

Zhu Ying instructed a female servant to take Xiaoxia down first, take strict care of her, and deal with this matter later.

After that, he waited for the news of Master Liu.

After a while, Master Liu came back.

As soon as he came back, he handed Zhu Ying a thick red envelope and said in a low voice: "Master, this is what the people of the Hong family say are filial piety to the master." ”

Zhu Ying opened it and looked at it, and couldn't help but be startled again, it was actually a large stack of silver tickets, as many as 10,000 taels, for a maid, this is also too big an arm.

Pinching such a large amount of silver tickets, Zhu Ying felt even more like pinching a hot potato, but he couldn't just throw it away.

But he can sit firmly in the position of Yancheng Mansion Yin, and naturally knows what money can be collected and what money cannot be collected, and now this matter is too tricky, and it is not easy for him to decide.

The Chu family's brother's life lawsuit has not yet been resolved, and there is another incident in the Hong family, which really gives him a headache, and this one is bigger than one thing.

After thinking about it for a long time, he decided to let the master return the silver ticket, and immediately made a decision, and asked the master to tell the Hong family that the Chu family brother's case was not easy to understand, and they had to ask their son to be acquitted, otherwise the lawsuit would go all the way down, and ask the Hong family what the decision was......?
