In the public court, Bai Yu knelt on the ground, her face was pale, her body trembled, she looked at the floor vacantly, and she didn't seem to have realized that she had become a murderer.

"Who's kneeling! What is the relationship with Zhou Lin! Quickly recruit from the real thing! Xu Zhi was shocked and shouted.

The news spread quickly, and there were already many people outside the yamen, all whispering.

"This girl killed one of the officials in the yamen?" A middle-aged woman pointed at Bai Yu and said.

"Yes, it is said that it was stolen and stolen!" A young man said.

Su Jinshi turned his head to look at the young man, but saw that he was neatly dressed and looked like a scholar, so he left a heart in his heart.

"Tsk, this girl looks so thin and weak, she can kill a servant, I really can't see it." The middle-aged woman was amazed at this.

The scholar sneered, "The relationship between this girl and the deceased is not ordinary!" ”

"Silence!" Xu Zhi shouted, and there was already displeasure in his tone, and the middle-aged woman and scholar stopped talking.

Bai Yu listened to the discussion of the people behind her, and the whole person became even more nervous, she looked up at Xu Zhi, and said in a little panic: "It's not me!" I really didn't kill Zhou Lin! It's really not my ......."

Bai Yu's voice became softer and softer, almost crying, and there was still Zhou Lin's blood on her skirt, like red plums blooming on her white clothes.

Xu Zhi saw that she seemed to be about to collapse, he thought for a while, and said softly: "Don't be nervous, tell everything you know, don't lie, the official will find out." ”

Bai Yu listened to Xu Zhi's words, and finally gradually stopped crying, she raised her head with teary eyes, and pinned all her hopes on Xu Zhi.

She carefully told her and Zhou Lin's past.

It turned out that Bai Yu and Xu Zhi were childhood sweethearts, but because Bai Yu's family was poor, his father was seriously ill, and he had a five-year-old son to raise, Bai Yu's mother sold Bai Yu into the Qinglou.

When Xu Zhi had some silver taels, he often went to the Qinglou to look for white jade, but the girl entered the Qinglou and was trained by the old bustard, even if she was unwilling, she still couldn't help serving those men.

Xu Zhi didn't care about these at all, he often went to the Qinglou to visit Bai Yu and bring her some gadgets, but he never spent the night with Bai Yu.

He also said that he would redeem Bai Yu from the Qinglou, but he didn't follow it up for a long time.

Bai Yu thought that life would go on like this, until she met Gao Mingde and Zhao Liang, two rich children who fell in love with Bai Yu and were obsessed with Bai Yu's body, and had the idea of wanting to redeem Bai Yu.

When the old bustard of the Qinglou informed her of this, she was stunned, but it didn't take long for her to accept her fate.

After entering the Qinglou, how can she still be qualified to be happy?

Just when she was about to promise the bustard, Zhou Lin suddenly came to the door, he said that he was going to take her away, and he really took her away, and she has been placed in a hut since then.

This hut is in a small village outside Lancheng, and the people in the village are simple and kind, no one knows Bai Yu's identity, only that she was brought back by the village's catcher.

Zhou Lin came every three days to bring her some delicious food and fun, but never touched her, she vaguely understood what the reason was, but never asked.

One day, Zhou Lin seemed to be very tired, and when he went, he brought two bottles of wine, Baiyu's amount of wine was good, Zhou Lin was drunk, but she was not drunk.

Bai Yu asked Zhou Lin why he didn't touch her, but Zhou Lin's answer made her cry suddenly.

She remembered him saying: I'm dirty, you're so clean, I don't want you to be dirty too.

After that day, Zhou Lin didn't appear for a long time, she planned to go to the city to see Zhou Lin today, but when she woke up, she found that Zhou Lin died in front of her, and she was actually a murderer.

Bai Yu's story was finished, and everyone present was silent for a long time.

Su Jinshi looked at Bai Yu and felt that she had calmed down, but the sadness in her eyes was thick and could not be dissolved.

"Do you remember how long you slept?" Xu Zhi asked.

Bai Yu frowned, "I just remember that I slept yesterday evening, and when I woke up, I saw Zhou Lin ......"

As soon as these words came out, everyone present noticed that something was wrong, if she was not the murderer, then someone must have drugged Bai Yu and moved her into the mansion, deliberately causing the crime scene.

"You've been asleep for a day and a night?" Xu Zhi confirmed again.

Bai Yu also faintly noticed that something was wrong, but still nodded.

"Did you see anyone suspicious yesterday? Or do you remember if there was something wrong with the food you ate and the water you drank yesterday? Xu Zhiyan asked.

Bai Yu thought for a moment and shook his head, "I made everything I ate yesterday, and what I drank was all on weekdays, and there was nothing abnormal." ”

"My lord, I'm really not a murderer! Zhou Lin rescued me from the Qinglou, how could I take revenge on him? Besides, he and I are childhood sweethearts! How could I ......" Bai Yu became more and more excited the more he spoke, and tears flowed out unconsciously.

She stood up and almost rushed in front of Zhou Lin, but was stopped in time by the officials on the side.

Several people on the sidelines frowned, looking at Bai Yu's appearance did not look like a deception, if the murderer intended to blame Bai Yu, it must be Zhou Lin's acquaintance......

Thinking of this, Su Jinshi's eyebrows jumped, could it be that there was more than one murderer in the corpse splitting case?

**

Bai Yu was imprisoned, Xu Zhizheng sent someone to investigate the small village where Bai Yu lived, and Su Jinshi and the Tang brothers and sisters felt very suspicious and went with them.

At this point in the case, everyone also feels that the day of solving the case is not long in coming.

Along the way, Su Jinshi was thinking about Bai Yu's words, seeing that she really didn't look like a murderer, but it couldn't be ruled out that her acting skills were too good......

It's just that Lin's death this week was too sudden, and it happened to hit the day they knew the murderer, which was too suspicious.

Su Jinshi thought back to them, the relationship between the Tang brothers and sisters and Ning Xifeng has always been good, and the rest is her, Nian Su and Xu Zhi.

Xu Zhi is the prefect of this city, and he wants to solve this case very much, so Ning Xifeng also handed over the secret mission to him......

She shook her head, not wanting to think about it anymore.

"Jinshi, are you thinking that the Six Princes may be starting to doubt you?" Tang Mingze suddenly said in a low voice.

Su Jinshi turned his head to look at him, but he didn't hide it, and said directly: "Yes, because of my relationship with Lu Jingshen, it may make him not so comfortable." ”

Tang Mingze's eyes were a little complicated when he looked at her, but Su Jinshi looked at him calmly.

After a long time, Tang Mingze laughed, "Actually, he didn't doubt you, he was suspicious of Xu Zhi." ”

Su Jinshi was stunned for a moment, she thought back to what Xu Zhi had done, and only felt like a normal prefect would do it, she frowned and asked, "Really?" Xu Zhi looks ......"

"It looks like that, but we don't know how." Tang Mingze interrupted Su Jinshi's words.

He looked ahead, his face sinking like water, and he said: "Whoever is an official cannot judge this person by his first impression, and perhaps the person who is still smiling at you today will stab you tomorrow." ”

Su Jinshi pursed her lips and didn't speak, she really didn't understand what Tang Mingze said, she had lived a life at the bottom and experienced some setbacks, but she had never really seen such a person.

When she arrived at that small village, Su Jinshi only felt as if she had returned to the original Peach Blossom Village, as if as long as she pushed open one of the doors, there were Su Xin and Zhao inside, as well as Su Huaijin and Sun.

She had wanted to escape from that village so much, but now she seemed to miss it a little.

It's just that she also clearly understands that she can't go back.

Several people came to Bai Yu's residence, Su Jinshi and the Tang brothers and sisters went in to take a look, there was only one stove, a table, four benches and a bed in the house, the floor was dirt, and the walls were very old.

According to the description of the neighbors, Bai Yu has been here for about a month, because of her good looks, very easy-going people, and good relations with the people in the village, they all think that Bai Yu is Zhou Lin's wife.

Su Jinshi walked out of this house, his mood was a little complicated, this house was very similar to Niansu's previous home, and even the layout was a little similar.

Fortunately, I didn't bring Nian Su with me.

When Su Jinshi came out, a man next door also came out, the man was holding a sickle in his hand, and it seemed that he was going to cut vegetables in the vegetable field.

Su Jinshi walked over and asked him with a smile, "Are you going to the field now?" ”

When the man saw Su Jinshi coming from Bai Yu's house, a look of vigilance appeared on his face, and he said, "Who are you?" ”

Su Jinshi continued to smile, but took in his expression, "I'm here to take a look, I have a good relationship with Bai Yu, I'm very worried when I heard that something like this happened to her, but I also believe that she won't do such a thing, and I'm here to see if there is any evidence." ”

The man looked incredulous, "You have a good relationship with her, why have you never been here to see her?" ”

"This matter is more complicated, when Bai Yu disappeared, I searched for many places but didn't find it, and I only got news of her today, but I don't want to ......"

Saying that, Su Jinshi lowered his head and pretended to wipe away his tears, the man thought of some rumors he had heard, and some believed Su Jinshi, he sighed and said, "Someone came to look for her before, but I didn't want this to happen a few days later." ”

Su Jinshi raised her eyebrows, knowing what she had asked, but she was not in a hurry, she sniffed and said, "Maybe she is also Bai Yu's friend, there are quite a few girls who have a good relationship with her, and she is probably missing and found here." ”

The man's face was a little strange, and he muttered, "But, it's clearly a man......"

Su Jinshi listened, and her heart was really someone to blame Bai Yu, she pretended to be a little confused and raised her head, "Man? But there are almost no men who are good friends with Bai Yu. ”

This sentence finally made the man's face change, and he immediately waved his hand, clenched the scythe, and said a little anxiously: "I don't know, I don't know anything." ”

With that, the man departed.

Su Jinshi looked at the back of him leaving, but he didn't rush to ask anything, and asking now might be counterproductive.
