"Yes!"

"Dad, mother, don't worry, Yu'er will definitely come back safely." , Chu Yu threw a reassuring look at Chu Yanlin and Song Qingyu.

"Okay." , Song Qingyu's eyes turned red.

"Miss Chu, please come with us!" After the official responded, he made a gesture of please in the direction of Chu Yu.

I have to say that he still admires this Miss Chu in his heart, ordinary women have long been panicked and screamed when they saw others dying in front of them, but she even calmly ordered the maid to report the case.

If he hadn't seen Chu Yu's calm appearance with his own eyes today, he wouldn't have believed what those passers-by described her.

Chu Yu nodded, and followed the officers and soldiers.

This time, Chu Yu was a rare person who didn't see Shen Yuting's gentleman, but she was a little surprised.

The government office, the public court.

Sitting above the court was a middle-aged man, he was wearing a blue official uniform, a black gauze hat on his head, his exposed sideburns were a little pale, his eyebrows and eyes were righteous and severe, and two deep nasolabial folds continued to the corners of his mouth, not angry but mighty.

In Chu Yu's memory, this judge's surname is Gong, he is upright, and he looks down on Shen Yuting who walks through the back door..... However, due to the strength of the Shen family, he was suppressed everywhere.

"Where is the informant, Qiuge?" , with a snap, a stern voice sounded.

When Qiu Ge heard the voice, he immediately knelt down, "The folk girl is here!" ”

"Is that the case you reported today?"

"Exactly!"

"Qiuge, you beat the drum to report that your young lady was slandered, and you caught three initiators, but under the confrontation, those three people happened to be assassinated by the killer. Chu Yu, is there such a thing? ", the palace judge in the public court asked sharply.

Chu Yu knelt down on his knees, "My lord, the people are here!" What Qiuge said is true! ”

"If you said that this is true, why did you not see the three corpses you mentioned when the officers and soldiers arrived? What a crime to disrupt the order of the court! ”

Chu Yu was shocked when she heard this, and looked at Qiu Ge, Qiu Ge was also confused, she obviously took the officers and soldiers to collect the corpses.... Moreover, those officers and soldiers quickly finished collecting the corpse, and after collecting the corpse, they were very enthusiastic to send her back to the general's mansion, which is why she came back earlier than the young lady.

"My lord, what the people said is the truth, and there are many people on the street today who can testify to the people's daughters!" , Chu Yu said lightly, not panicking.

The palace judge's eyes sank.

Some of the people in the back who were watching the excitement outside also spoke up, "My lord, someone did assassinate those three people, and Miss Chu Yu was at the scene and didn't lie!" ”

"That's right, this matter is strange, please be aware of it!" Qiuge also echoed.

The palace judge said sharply, "Summons witnesses! You! Come up! The palace judge pointed to the man who spoke the loudest.

The man didn't expect that he would be invited to the court, he was a little scared at first, but when he saw the encouraging eyes of the people around him, he suddenly became confident, he was doing good deeds and testifying to others, there was nothing to be afraid of.

"Meet your lord!"

"Excuse me! Who are you? Who is the surname, where does the family live, and do you know the two women in front of you? ”

"Back to my lord, the villain is Zhang Jinqi, his home is on the outskirts of the capital, and today he came to the capital to buy some things, but he encountered such a thing, at the beginning, a man began to say some obscene things to this woman, and also attracted the people around him, trying to arouse everyone's hostility towards this woman."

Zhang Jinqi paused, and then pointed to Chu Yu and said, "Later, that woman came, and she argued that these people had never seen her true face at all, but they were spreading rumors behind their backs....."

......

After listening to it all the way, the palace judge's face was not good-looking.

"Chu Yu, is what this son said true?"

"Yes!"

Syllable! The palace judge picked up the dark wooden strip and slapped it again, and Chu Yu's heart also burst out.

"Since it is true, it means that you and your maid are not lying, but these few words of corpse are now missing, what do you have to say?"

Chu Yu's heart tightened, she really couldn't explain this, so she had to say lightly, "My lord, the folk girl doesn't know where these three corpses are now." ”

"My lord, the folk girl has something to say." Qiuge bowed to the adult in front of him.

"But it doesn't hurt to say it!"

"My lord, when the little girl came to report to the official, she asked the officers and soldiers in the government to go to the scene with her." , Qiuge said urgently.

"Is that the case?" , The palace judge turned his head to look at several officers and soldiers standing on the side.

Those officers and soldiers, you look at me, I look at you, but in the end, they all shook their heads and said, "My lord, when this woman came to report to the official, it happened to be the time of afternoon dinner, so she didn't go to collect the body as soon as possible, and by the time she finished lunch, she was no longer there." ”

"However, at noon today, there were indeed officers and soldiers who followed me to collect the corpse.....s," Qiuge explained anxiously.

"You may be mistaken, girl, our brother didn't see you when he went out, so we went by ourselves...", one of the leading officers and soldiers responded.

Syllable! There was another sound of wooden planks clashing.

Qiuge felt that his memory was about to go wrong, and his brain was about to turn into a mess.

Chu Yu's face was pale, since the officers and soldiers who followed Qiuge were not these people, then who were those people? Why do you pretend to be officers and soldiers to collect corpses? Chu Yu felt that things seemed to be getting more and more complicated.

"You eat the people's food, so you should do things for the people, and now a little girl is looking for you to report the murder, but you are patronizing lunch and abandoning the murder, what should you be guilty of!?" , the palace judge's face was like ink.

"That's right! These officers and soldiers are really... It's all murdered, and you can still eat...", some of the onlookers outside were discussing.

"My lord, my subordinates know their mistakes!" For a while, the court knelt down a large area.

"Get up, after going down today, you will receive twenty boards, if something like this happens in the future, you will be dismissed!" , the palace judge said sharply.

"Yes!"

The melon-eating crowd outside probably didn't expect that so many things would be judged in a murder case, and they all felt that it was worth it today.

"Miss Qiuge, you said that you led the officers and soldiers who went to the government to collect the corpses at the scene, but someone proved it?"

"My lord, I can prove it! After the incident, I stayed at the small vendor where I bought tofu and chatted with the boss, and I saw Miss Qiuge leading the officers and soldiers of the government office, but now I take a closer look at these officers and soldiers, and I find that they are really a little different from the officers and soldiers I saw at noon today. ”

"Someone, the owner of the tofu flower shop!" , The palace judge frowned and said.

Soon the officers and soldiers trotted out.

The heavy rain on a summer afternoon was clear, and the air was filled with a sultry and hot atmosphere, but this could not resist the people who liked to watch the theater, and these people surrounded the public hall so tightly that no wind could penetrate it.

Chu Yu's heart was very calm, she remembered the man in Xuanyi today, could it be that he disposed of the corpse?

But thinking that he had promised to testify in court, there was really no need to take another step and take away all the corpses..... So, who is it exactly?

After a while, the officer and soldier who ran out came back with the boss who sold tofu flowers.

The tofu flower boss's face was a little panicked, and as soon as he entered the court, he knelt down to the palace judge above the court.

"Meet your lords! I don't know what the little one has done? ”

"It's not you who committed the crime, it's that you are asked to testify in court. Three people died in front of your stall, but is there such a thing? ", the palace judge patiently explained.

"Exactly, my lord, the small one is just doing a small business, and it is really unfortunate that such a murder happened in front of this stall at noon! Even if the body is cleaned up, it will be difficult to continue this small business. The boss of this tofu flower said with a gloomy face.

The palace judge's face remained unchanged and asked, "Then do you see who took the body?" ”

The boss of Tofu Hua looked to the left, pointed at Qiuge and said, "It's her!" It was she who led several officers and soldiers to collect the body. At that time, I was still talking in this brother's platform, and when I saw the officers and soldiers cleaning up, I chatted with those officers and soldiers for a few words. The boss of tofu flower pointed at Zhang Jinqi again.

"Then you see, are those officers and soldiers them?" , The palace judge pointed to a few people on the side.

After a few glances at the officers and soldiers next to him, the tofu flower boss shook his head, "No." ”

The palace judge's face sank, if it wasn't good, this murder case would become an unsolved case.

The people surrounding the government outside the palace were talking and talking, and everyone turned frightened.

"You say, this can't be a ghost, right?"

"Won't it?"

.....

Everyone was talking, and they all felt that things were getting weirder and weirder...

Syllable!

"Silence!" , the palace judge slapped the case board again.

"This matter will be judged today...."

Before the palace judge could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a voice, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived!" ”

Chu Yu's eyes flashed slightly, he came. However, Chu Yu did not turn around.

The palace judge obviously didn't expect that this prince would come here at this time, he looked at Chu Yu with a calm face below, and had some thoughts in his heart.

"Meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince! Hail to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince! When everyone heard this, they gave way and bowed down to His Royal Highness the Prince.

Except for Chu Yu, the rest of the kneeling people all turned around in the direction of the prince.

"I've seen His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Wan'an!" , the palace judge walked down the court, wanting to kneel down to His Royal Highness the Prince.

"Excuse me, Master Gong, you continue to try the case." , the prince said lightly.

"It's... Come, give a seat. The palace judge paused, and then ordered the officers and soldiers on the side.

Soon, a chair was moved, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sat aside, looking at the scene in front of him for a long time.
