Jiang Shi saw Tang Mingze sitting in the public court, and it was someone who had come to the house to inquire a few days ago, she moved her eyes away with some weakness, but she shook her head.

Seeing this, Gu Mingde sneered, "Jiang Shi, don't you have to quibble, can't you really see that the official is blind?" ”

Jiang Shi panicked, kowtowed a few more times, and tears suddenly flowed, "The people really don't know why Min died!" When the woman saw Min, she was out of breath! ”

"Do you see suspicious people wandering around?" Tang Mingze asked.

Min Shi shook her head again, her eyes flickered a little, and she lowered her head and said, "The women didn't see it." ”

Tang Mingze frowned and stopped talking, Gu Mingde saw that Tang Mingze didn't take him seriously, he was angry, but he also endured it, and only said: "Put this Jiang family in prison first, and continue to look for evidence." ”

Next, a servant took the Jiang family away, and Gu Mingde also announced his retirement.

Su Jinshi watched for a while, and only felt that there were three doubts, how did the Jiang family catch it? What is Jiang hiding? Why did Gu Mingde suddenly change his attitude towards Tang Mingze?

After the trial, Su Jinshi and Nian Su returned to the room, and Tang Yaxin followed Tang Mingze and Lu Ning into the room.

Su Jinshi sighed, and after entering the room, he asked with some hesitation: "Su Su, do you think I want to talk to them?" ”

Nian Su understood what Su Jinshi meant, she also sat down, thought for a moment, and then said: "Jinshi, if you think that we will have an intersection with them in the future, then let's go, if we want to earn these ten taels of silver, we must cooperate with them, but ......"

She paused, raised her eyes to look at Su Jinshi's expression, and saw that there was nothing before she continued: "It's just that although we don't know their identities, I can feel that they are not all the way, if they are willing to tell us, we must not leave lightly." ”

Nian Su's worries Su Jinshi also knew, she smiled and said: "It's not like we will confess to them when we ask them to confess, we are not even friends with them." ”

Nian Su also nodded and fell silent.

Su Jinshi thought about it, and still said: "Don't think about it so much, let's take a look again, now that this Gu Mansion lives, if Tang Mingze and they leave, we will also leave, as for us and them, it all depends on Tang Mingze, or Lu Ning." ”

Nian Su didn't understand what Su Jinshi meant by Lu Ning, but she didn't ask, she thought about it and said, "Then what about this case?" ”

Su Jinshi sighed, "Let's check first, this Jiang family was arrested this time, and it can't be separated from that Tang Mingze, if they are all like this, why should I tell them everything." ”

Nian Su sighed in her heart, she only felt a little tired, when she looked at Su Jin, she only felt that she seemed to have changed a little, she was impulsive and reckless before, she was very good to people, and she never cared if she would be deceived.

Now she will also calculate in her heart.

"Susu, what's wrong with you?" Su Jinshi stretched out his hand and shook it reluctantly in Nian Su and asked.

Nian Su shook her head, she looked out the window, and when she saw that it was still early, she said, "Shall we go out and investigate?" ”

"How can we investigate without clues? Although I have some clues, I don't know where to start, and today's Jiang family came here to make a fuss, but it also made me a little clear, but this Jiang family has been imprisoned, and we can't see it lightly. Su Jinshi held his chin and pondered.

"The Jiang family has something to hide, and she refuses to sue Lord Gu, will she sue us?" Nian Su asked suspiciously.

"If you ask directly, we naturally won't say it, and we can't expect her to tell us everything that happened, but if you ask in a roundabout way, it's okay, but I don't know if Lord Gu will torture Jiang." Su Jinshi said with some concern.

She suddenly remembered that Nian Su had also come to see her when she was in prison, so she asked, "When I was in prison, you came to see me, how did you come in?" ”

Su Jinshi is not

Su Jinshi nodded, "You said that if we go and talk to that jailer, will we let us in?" I don't know if the one in this city will be the same as the one in Peach Blossom Town......"

Nian Su pursed his lips and persuaded: "Naturally, it's different, let's find another way." ”

"But what can be done? There is no one in the Jiang family's house, and when I went to her house that time, I also asked the neighbors left and right, and no one said anything abnormal......" Su Jinshi said with a frown.

"What if it's another relative of the Jiang family? A normal woman is going to marry at sixteen, but the Jiang family looks like a person in her forties, if she is married at sixteen, her son will be nearly thirty years old, but the Min family is eighteen years old, and there are some problems at this age...... "Nian Su said with a frown.

Su Jinshi's mind lit up, she didn't expect age, but now after listening to Nian Su's words, it turned out to be an enlightenment!

"You mean that the Jiang family may have been a widow before and later remarried?" Su Jinshi guessed.

"I don't know, maybe that's the case, let's go out and check first." Nian Su said.

Su Jinshi nodded, and the two went out together, they came to Jiang's neighborhood together, because Su Jinshi also came to ask last time, and those peasant women also had an impression of her.

Yuan's was the last time she talked to Su Jinshi the most, Su Jinshi chose her first, and when she came to the door of Yuan's house, she saw that she was flipping things.

This Yuan family is also over half a hundred years old, and his sideburns and hair are a little gray, but he is extremely tough, and he has lived here for most of his life.

The last time I asked, this Yuan was also very cooperative, and he was very easy-going, but he was very nosy, she just chatted with her for a few words, and this Yuan thought about introducing her to Xianggong......

"Mother-in-law, how are you doing lately?" Su Jinshi stood outside the fence and shouted with a smile.

Yuan looked up and saw that it was the girl with a bright smile last time, so he put down the work in his hand and went to open the door with a smile, "Why is Miss Su here again?" But what is there to ask? ”

Su Jinshi smiled, "I do have something to ask for." ”

"Miss Su, do you think the man I told you last time is good? So you came here on purpose? Yuan let the two in, and after closing the door, he saw Nian Su again, and said with some surprise: "This girl is very handsome, but it's a pity that she pulled the woman's bun, but she is already married?" ”

Nian Su was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Xianggong has already gone." ”

When Yuan Shi heard this, he sighed slightly, and said: "It's a pity that I am young, and I don't know what has happened in this Windy City in the past few years, and there are more and more widows. ”

Su Jinshi looked at Nian Su with some teasing, and saw that her face was a little red, so he changed the topic and said, "Mother-in-law, there have been more widows in recent years?" ”

Yuan nodded, led the two into the house, poured them a glass of water, and said: "Yes, I don't know what happened, there have been more widows over the years, but there have been many deaths, the last time you came to ask me about the Min family, I said, in fact, there are several girls who were killed, and the government doesn't know." ”

Su Jinshi frowned and asked, "Why doesn't the government know?" But no one reported the crime? ”

Yuan Shi nodded, and said helplessly: "Even if you report to the official, it is useless, after all, Windy City is so big, and there are many cases, the government naturally does not have the ability to try them all, besides, those cases have not been solved before, and some people feel that it is useless to report to the official, and besides, the dead are all married daughters, so some people admit it themselves, and simply do not report to the official." ”

Listening to Yuan's words, Su Jinshi gasped, she looked at Yuan's in disbelief, she didn't expect the common people to have such thoughts.

The daughter who died was married, and he didn't even report it to the official......

"Don't be surprised, the water spilled by this married daughter, besides, these are widows, and there are very few who can redress the widow's grievances." Speaking of this, Yuan sighed faintly.

Nian Su listened to it, her hands tightly grasped the hem of her clothes, Su Jinshi noticed Nian Su's abnormality, she covered the back of Nian Su's hand with one hand, and felt her hands that were tight because of the force, Su Jinshi gently comforted her.

"I heard that this Jiang clan was arrested by the government, what is going on?" Su Jinshi changed the topic and asked.

Yuan also felt that the topic just now was not good to talk about with the two girls, so he smiled a little embarrassedly, and said: "Don't mind the two girls, how the future fate is all in your own hands, and you must not completely rely on Xianggong." ”

Su Jinshi didn't expect the Yuan clan to have such thoughts, she raised her eyebrows, smiled and nodded.

"You just talked about the Jiang family, and I'll talk to you about it." Yuan took a sip of water, as if recalling something, and said after a while:

"This Jiang is also a hard-working woman, she married a man before she came here, and also gave birth to a son, but the man went soon after the child was born, and the Jiang family raised the child by herself, but she has no long life, and she has a child, how can she survive in this huge windy city?"

"When her son was five years old, she found a family to marry, but that family didn't want her son, Jiang was also ruthless, the child was lost on the side of the road and married, her stomach was also angry, not long after marrying a son to the man, the two lived happily, fifteen years after marrying, the man also went, Jiang didn't want to toss anymore, so he lived here."

"I also married a daughter-in-law to my child, but I didn't expect that the child was also short-lived, and I went not long after getting married, and I didn't leave a child."

The Yuan clan said slowly, "I was arrested by the government this time, and I heard that she killed the Min clan before she was sent to the government, but how can she actually do it?" This Jiang family has gone through so many things and lived a good life, how can he be as knowledgeable as the Min family? ”

After listening to this, Su Jinshi solved his doubts, but he also had more doubts, "Mother-in-law, but the Jiang family has always disliked the Min family, I asked the Jiang family last time, and she said that the Min family never does housework at home, and is very lazy." ”

Yuan Shi was stunned, but he didn't expect this, he frowned and said, "How come?" Their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have always had a good relationship, and the Min family is also a diligent ...... How could she say that? ”

Su Jinshi saw that the Yuan clan didn't know about it, so he fell into deep thought.

At this time, Nian Su suddenly asked, "Mother-in-law, why do you say that their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have a good relationship?" ”

"Jiang often goes to the field with Min, and often goes shopping together, last time I saw Jiang bring a black chicken back, saying that it was for Min's body, this Min is not pregnant with a child, why do you need black chicken? Jiang told me that she bought it because she was too tired. Yuan recalled.

Su Jinshi felt even more strange, this Jiang clan's actions were inconsistent, and he must be hiding something.

"According to what my mother-in-law said, until the death of the Min family, the relationship between the Jiang family and the Min family has always been very good?" Nian Su continued to ask.

Yuan nodded, "yes, I've never seen them argue. ”

Nian Su stopped asking, Su Jinshi saw that the time was almost up, so he said goodbye to Yuan, and Yuan saw that the two girls were very agreeable, so he kept saying that he wanted to give Su Jinshi and Nian Su a good look......

Su Jinshi and Nian Su hurriedly said no, don't run away, and left.

After the two left Yuan's house, they didn't want to look back at the house, so they went to the pavilion on the diversion lake, because it was daytime, there was no moonlight lotus pond scenery, the weather became hotter and hotter, and the lotus flowers on the lake were also a little listless.

The two sat in the gazebo, looking at the not-so-good scenery, and neither spoke.

Su Jinshi's mind was all about that case, this Jiang family may have something to do with the murderer, but she doesn't know what the relationship is.

"Susu, you say...... Could it be that Jiang knows who the murderer is, so this will be the case? Su Jinshi muttered to himself.

Nian Su leaned on Su Jinshi's shoulder, did not speak, and quietly looked at the scenery in the distance.

For a long time, Su Jinshi was still immersed in her case, and Nian Su felt a little bored, so he picked up Su Jinshi's hand and looked at it carefully, only to see that her fingers were slender and her bones were distinct, but they were very fair and well-proportioned.

Nian Su looked at her palms in turn, and saw that the lines on her hands were very light, almost invisible, her heart jumped, remembering that her mother had told her a long time ago that people with light lines in their palms were not good for life.

She still remembered that after her mother told her, she looked at her palms and found that her lines were also extremely light.

"What's wrong?" Su Jinshi saw that Nian Su was holding her hand, and asked in a low voice.

Nian Su put down her hand, sniffed, and said, "It's okay, have you thought of anything?" ”

Su Jinshi didn't care about her abnormality, and said the thoughts in his mind one by one: "I guess, this Jiang family must know who the murderer is to protect the murderer like this, this murderer Jiang must know it, and there must be a lot of relationship." ”

Nian Su raised his head, looked at Su Jinshi, and said, "Mo is not her first son?" ”

Su Jinshi shook his head and said, "It's not clear, maybe it's her first son, or it may be someone else, but the starting point must be on the Jiang family." ”

"It's just that now that the Jiang family is in prison, we can't see her, what should we do?" Nian Su asked.

Su Jinshi also sighed, "If we want to go to the prison to see the Jiang family, the only way is Tang Mingze, he has a good relationship with Lord Gu, if he says it, Lord Gu will definitely let us in, but in this case, we will tell him everything we know......"

Nian Su understood what Su Jinshi meant, and she sighed: "I didn't expect that in the end, we would have to rely on the Tang family brothers and sisters. ”

Su Jinshi didn't speak, now all the clues are on the Jiang family, no matter what, she has to go to the prison to ask the Jiang family, although she may not get the result.

"Let's go back first, let's put it down in advance and see what the relationship between the Tang family brothers and sisters and Master Gu is, and it's not too late for us to take action." Su Jinshi said.

Nian Su nodded, they only had this choice now.

**

On the way back to Gu's house, Su Jinshi bought a candy man at a small stall on the side of the road, planning to go back and give Xiaodouzi to eat.

In the past few days, they have been busy with this case, but they have forgotten about Xiaodouzi, and I don't know if this little guy is angry.

After returning to the Gu Mansion, it was calm, and the subordinates of the Gu Mansion were still courteous to them, and after the two asked, they found Xiaodouzi in the courtyard of the housekeeper of the Gu Mansion.

Little Beanzi was having fun with the housekeeper's children, and the two children were chasing and running in the yard, and they were very happy.

"Little Bean!"

Su Jinshi shouted, and Xiaodouzi saw that his mother and Aunt Jin Shi were coming, and he ran over happily, his little face was red, "Mother, Aunt Jin Shi!" How did you guys get here? I'm having fun with Ye Ye! ”

Su Jinshi smiled, put the sugar man in his hand in front of Xiao Douzi and shook it around, Xiao Douzi was just about to grab it, and the sugar man was deftly taken away by Su Jinshi.

"Go wash your hands and wash your face before eating." Su Jinshi said with a deliberate straight face.

Xiaodouzi raised a smile and snorted, and said, "Then I won't eat it, I still have to play with Ye Ye!" ”

Xiaodouzi was just about to run away, but Nian Su quickly grabbed his hand, took out a handkerchief and wiped the ashes on his face and hands, and said, "Don't play yet, let's eat first, and play tomorrow." ”

Xiaodouzi turned to look at Ye Ye, who was still playing, and said with some reluctance: "Ye Ye, I'll come to play with you tomorrow!" ”

Ye Ye smiled and said, "Okay! ”

Su Jinshi looked at the reluctant appearance of these two children, and suddenly felt a little sad, after all, they will not live in this place forever, the relationship between Xiaodouzi and Ye Ye is so good, if they want to leave in the future, can Xiaodouzi stand it?

After returning to the house, Nian Su helped Xiaodouzi wash his hands and face, and Su Jinshi gave the sugar man to Xiaodouzi, who was very happy to eat the sugar man.

"Little Bean, if we have to leave one day, will you be sad?" Su Jinshi looked at Xiaodouzi and asked in a low voice.

Xiaodouzi was stunned for a moment, looked at Su Jinshi with some defensiveness, and said, "Leave?" Where to go? ”

Su Jinshi raised her eyes and glanced at Nian Su, she sighed, "Little Douzi, this is not our home after all, we can't live here for the rest of our lives." ”

"And where is our home?" Little Beanzi asked suddenly, with a hint of tears in his eyes.

Su Jinshi was stunned, she really couldn't answer this question.

Our home.

Where is it.

At this time, Nian Su squatted in front of Xiaodouzi, reached out and touched Xiaodouzi's head, and said with a smile: "I will definitely give you a home in the future, we have to believe Aunt Jinshi." ”

Su Jinshi saw that Nian Su's face was faintly determined, her heart warmed, and the responsibility on her shoulders seemed to be a little heavier, but it was a sweet burden.

Xiao Douzi nodded a little incomprehensibly, he raised his head and asked Su Jinshi, "Aunt Jinshi, when are we leaving?" ”

Su Jinshi touched Xiaodouzi's head again, "I don't know, but it's probably not a few days, you can say goodbye to Ye Ye well, if you have the heart, you can still meet when you grow up." ”

Xiaodouzi nodded and said solemnly, "Okay." ”

Su Jinshi stood up, but she was a little unbearable in her heart, Xiaodouzi was a very sensible child, and she would never ask for anything too much, she had hardly seen his splattering appearance.

Such a child made her even more distressed.

The three of them went to dinner together, and they still ate with the Tang brothers and sisters, Su Jinshi ate leisurely, but the Tang brothers and sisters were not like this.

Tang Yaxin wanted to speak several times, but she couldn't say it, and although Tang Mingze's expression was normal, he was also unusually silent.

Su Jinshi didn't take the initiative to find anything, and still gave Nian Su and small beans vegetables.

The meal was very embarrassing, only Su Jinshi ate very happily, and Tang Yaxin and Tang Mingze barely ate.

After eating, Su Jinshi took Nian Su and Xiaodouzi's hands and was about to leave, but after walking a few steps, he was stopped by Tang Yaxin.

"Jinshi, I have something to say to you."

Su Jinshi stopped and looked back at the three of them with a smile in his eyes, "What's wrong?" ”

"I'd like to talk to you alone, okay?" Tang Yaxin's tone was a little hesitant, while neither Tang Mingze nor Lu Ning spoke.

The smile in Su Jinshi's eyes deepened, "What can't you say in public?" Why go it alone? ”

Tang Yaxin was choked for a moment, and she also felt that Su Jinshi might be angry, so she was a little uneasy, and she looked at Nian Su: "Nian girl, can I talk to Jinshi alone?" ”

Nian Su looked at Su Jinshi, then at Tang Yaxin, and finally nodded, and said to Su Jinshi: "I'll send Xiaodouzi back to the house first, and I'll go to the street to buy some things later." ”

Su Jinshi nodded, let go of Nian Su's hand, and then Nian Su left, after letting go of his hand, Su Jinshi looked at Nian Su's back, and actually had a feeling that he might never see her again in the future.

"Jinshi?" Tang Yaxin called Su Jinshi.

Su Jinshi came back to his senses, looked at Nian Su fixedly, and laughed at himself for thinking too much.

Su Jinshi turned around and returned to Fang Cai's position, sat down, and said with a smile, "What's wrong?" You are in a position where you are going to eat me. ”

Tang Yaxin smiled awkwardly, but did not speak.

Su Jinshi put his eyes on Tang Mingze and looked at him with interest.

"Miss Su, do you plan to handle this case to the end?" Tang Mingze asked in a deep voice.

The corners of Su Jinshi's mouth raised slightly, she had probably guessed the reason why Tang Mingze was looking for her, her body relaxed, her chin was supported by her hand, and she smiled: "Isn't this decided by Tang Gongzi?" If we didn't have Tang Gongzi's connections, we wouldn't have made progress. ”

Tang Mingze's expression was secretive, he looked at Su Jinshi quietly for a while, and then said, "I think Miss Su has discovered something." ”

He paused, leaned closer, and asked in a low voice, "Miss Su already has an idea in her heart, can you tell me about it?" ”
