Gu Zhixing didn't think so, he didn't feel completely unexpected like Su Mian, after all, although the Western Holy Kingdom is prosperous now, its geographical location was not good in the early years, there were many hills and basins, and even there were several steep mountains near the Imperial City.

So if there really would be any bandits gathering, it would not be very strange, and it has been recorded in history.

"You don't know how to interrogate, so the pregnant woman will be handed over to the people of the yamen to deal with, so why don't you let this king interrogate in person? Why have you done a few more things these days, and your brain has become an elm head? ”

Gu Zhixing rarely had time to get along with Su Mian today, and the time for dinner together just now only belonged to the two of them, and now that he returned to the palace, he wanted to get tired of it for a while, but when he saw Lu Zhe coming again, he was already a little emotional.

Now after listening to Lu Zhe's bitter water, Gu Zhixing deliberately calmed down and reprimanded like this. Su Mian didn't know what she was thinking, she was just out of her mind, so she ignored Lu Zhe's eyes for help.

Lu Zhe still had a bitter face, of course he knew that if he encountered a case on weekdays, he would not be able to trouble the prince, but this case was related to the previous theft of grain, so he didn't dare not report it.

"But Lord Wang, according to what we investigated before, that corpse is very likely to be different from the theft of grain that day, but my subordinates think it will be too much of a coincidence? If someone wants to combine the two things, that's why I want to be more careful. ”

It turned out that Lu Zhe was worried about this, Gu Zhixing thought about it for a while, and felt that it was indeed possible. Although there are many coincidences in this world, such a suspicious thing that happened on the same day really feels like a ghost.

"But haven't you checked it all before? I don't feel like it's something that those old people can do, the descendants of Niujia Village in the imperial city now, you have all sent someone to check the details. If it really has something to do with them, haven't you already found out? ”

Su Mian turned around and said this innocently, she and Gu Zhixing thought differently, Gu Zhixing felt upset and didn't want to pay attention, but when she heard that the person who came to claim the body was a pregnant woman, she was actually moved by compassion.

If the pregnant woman is directly handed over to the yamen for interrogation, let alone whether she can eat or not, if there is really an accident, it is not what Su Mian wants to see. Regardless of whether the pregnant woman is a good person or a bad person, at least the fetus in her womb is innocent.

Lu Zhe nodded hurriedly, because they didn't find any clues about the deceased in those people in Niujia Village, so now the two things seem to have nothing to do with each other, isn't it even more suspicious?

At this point, Gu Zhixing basically understood what Lu Zhe wanted to express today, the woman was not moving, nor was she moving, she could only respond to all changes with the same.

Although he was first detained in the yamen, after all, he was served with good food and drink, and he only said that he still needed to report to the police, and that the woman needed to draw up a statement of the situation before she could receive the 10,000 taels of gold promised before.

The next evening, in the backlit room, a woman in coarse cloth clothes sitting on the bed looked at the few people who had just entered the door with a nervous expression.

"Liu, this official asks you again, is the corpse you identified before really your father-in-law? If this is true, you will sign and pledge it, and the gold promised to you by the court will not be lost to you. ”

The official who had continued the eight-character beard in front of him now deliberately asked in a rough voice, Liu's body shook suddenly, as if he was frightened, and then carefully covered his chest, looked at the person in front of him and nodded solemnly.

"If you go back to the official master, it is naturally my family's mouth, if it weren't for this incident, even if it really gave me ten thousand taels of gold, I don't want him to have an accident! From the villagers to tell me this bad news to this day, I have not slept well all night, and I can dream of my husband every night, he is really miserable......"

Liu Shi choked up and was about to cry as he said this, the official had already been crying by her for the past few days, and was about to signal her to stop quickly, when he heard the footsteps behind him, and knew that it was now the rescuers coming, and hurriedly greeted him with a courteous face.

"Miss Su, why are you here today? I thought the general had sent someone over, but you came just in time, this woman cries and cries at every turn, and the official must be made big by her crying, should this silver be given to her or not? ”

Su Mian was also full of food and drink, so he came from his store. The matter that Lu Zhe said in the palace before has always reassured Su Mian, so I want to take a look at it today.

Because Su Mian often follows Gu Zhixing and Lu Zhe, and even appears a lot around the emperor, almost all the officials in the yamen now know Su Mian, so naturally they will not stop her.

What's more, now Su Mian is still followed by Lu Zhe, but Lu Zhe also has a bitter face, and seems to be extremely reluctant to enter that house and listen to the Liu family's complaint about the injustice of the world, so he only stands outside the door and refuses to come in.

"Lord Chen is serious, I'm just a grass people, I can't influence anything, you should do what you should do today. I just don't know a few things and want to ask this eldest sister. ”

Liu was about to cry when she was in love just now, but she didn't expect such a change to happen suddenly, interrupting her emotions.

In confusion, I saw that Su Mian was a little familiar, and I couldn't remember where I had seen it, until I heard Lord Chen call the other party Miss Su, and then thought of the rumors on weekdays, and then knew who was next to him now.

Lord Chen respectfully welcomed Su Mian in, but Su Mian's face was much more relaxed now, not as sad as others, and his eyes were more gentle when he looked at the Liu family.

"This eldest sister, please also mourn and change, can you answer me a few questions first? Of course, the 10,000 taels of gold that the former prince promised you will naturally be given to you, but now Xisheng is afraid that there is not so much gold, and according to the current gold price, it has been exchanged for a silver ticket for you, so that you can also carry it easily, what do you think? ”

As soon as Su Mian came, he first mentioned the matter of the money, it is much easier to talk if he has money, and as long as he answers the question, he can get the money, such a good thing only a fool will not do!

Of course, Liu nodded busily, and was about to open his mouth to complain a few words of bitterness, but Su Mian wanted to ask questions immediately, and he didn't give her a chance to do homely work at all.

"If you agree, then I'll ask you a few more things, and you must be truthful. Because these things have to be reported to the yamen, if you are later found to have lied, not only will you have to pay back all the money, but I am afraid that you will still be imprisoned. You should know that you are getting such special treatment now because you are pregnant. ”

Su Mian hit the nail on the head, and she couldn't help but be a little harsh, but fortunately, she was also a woman, so she was not afraid of whether the Liu family was going to cry. Liu Shi looked at the seemingly casual but irrefutable look on her face, and could only nod hesitantly.

"Well, first thing, why did your father-in-law's body appear at the entrance of Niujia Village? Do you know that on the day your father-in-law's body was discovered, there was also a case of thieves stealing grain from the treasury, and if it was a coincidence, would it be too much of a coincidence? ”

Su Mian knew that she couldn't ask why, but now she still wanted to try this woman. Sure enough, when Liu heard Su Mian say this, he hurriedly waved his hand and stood up nervously, pulling the corners of his clothes crampedly.

"Miss Su, don't wronged us! Now that everyone else is dead, you can't just push any crime on the dead because they can't speak, right? My family was originally a good person, but he was abducted into the mountains by those bandits to work as coolies, and he said that he would be released after a month, who knows......"

Liu explained and cried again, and Su Mian didn't intend to pay attention to what she wanted to say after listening to the useful part, and directly interrupted the other party and continued to ask the second question.

"Okay, then I'll take you as I mean it's okay with you, right? The second question is, is this person really your husband? In addition to the previous proofs, if you still insist that he is your father-in-law, then you will also be responsible for all the things that happened to him that are found out later. ”

Su Mian asked with a deep look in his eyes, and Lu Zhe outside the door couldn't help but come in and looked curiously.

He rarely saw Su Mian think so clearly, in addition to seeing her look of intoxication when she was teasing her new inventions, she was more confused, always stupid, and she seemed to be a different person with Gu Zhixing today.

In fact, Su Mian had a good discussion with Gu Zhixing and felt that if he could help them solve something, it would definitely be a good thing, so he took the initiative to come over today.

During this period of time, it has always been Gu Zhixing and Lu Zhe who have been helping themselves to do things, although they are helping the entire Western Saint Country, and even the entire Huachen Continent. But it is reasonable, they have indeed helped themselves a lot, and now if they are really useful, Su Mian also wants to contribute.

So now Su Mian is sure that there is something wrong with knowing the woman in front of her, even if she still has compassion for the fetus in her womb, she will not be soft on her, let alone let her go because of her crying.

Liu still wanted to complain, but when he saw Su Mian staring at him, as if he was about to see through himself, he suddenly felt extremely nervous, and the cold sweat on his forehead had already come out, so he could only nod his head hard.

"That's, that's nature! As I said, my family is a good person, even if he does something bad, he must have been forced to do it by those bandits. So if the things you say are happening in the bandits' den, then I don't care! ”

Before this Liu family didn't hold the silver, they still looked like a loving couple who had suffered a tragic accident, but now when they heard Su Mian say it so seriously, it has been exposed.
