Chapter 34: A Bloody Case
You Wei smiled bitterly and stretched out his old hand full of wrinkles and rubbed his temples: "Xue Yao, then can you take Ding Nianyi to the Mu Mansion today?" Father also went with you, the affairs of our family and the Liu family are more complicated, you can't explain it clearly, and you have to talk about it. ”
You Xueyao was slightly stunned when she heard this, lowered her eyes and glanced at the injury on her arm, and saw that the wound had recovered a lot, and nodded: "Okay, then go today, if my father wants to go together, I will just say it to Aunt Ping." ”
Soon, Du Ping hired a carriage, took Ding Nianyi, You Xueyao's father and daughter, and Bai Jinyu together, sat in the carriage, and went straight to the Mu family.
Du Ping didn't want Bai Jinyu to go with him, but if Bai Jinyu didn't go, Ding Nianyi was not ready to go, Du Ping had no choice but to let Bai Jinyu get into the carriage with a dissatisfied face.
After they arrived at the gate of the pastoral mansion, Du Ping hurriedly got out of the carriage and brought a group of people behind her to the front of the gatekeeper, with a touch of pride on her face, she stretched out her hand, pointed towards Ding Nian, and raised her chin slightly: "This little brother, Ding Nianyi is here, please go to the mansion to make a noise!" ”
The little guy glanced at Du Ping, frowned slightly, and seemed to be a little reluctant, You Wei understood, took out a tael of silver from his arms with a smile, and handed it to the little guy guarding the door.
The little guy took the silver, rejoiced in his heart, and said with a smile: "This master will still come!" You wait here, and the little one will go right away! ”
"When this old woman came yesterday, she said that the head of the herd family would go out to pick her up in person, why didn't I see the head of the herd family coming?"
The owners of several shops diagonally across the door of the Mu family all remembered yesterday's events, stood at the door of their shop, looked in the direction of Du Ping, and looked at the joke.
Those people who were sitting in the shop drinking tea and eating wine were bored, and it was rare to find some topics, and they all looked at the door of the herd's house with great interest.
"Yes, yes! I also saw this old woman here yesterday, and I am ashamed of her when they said it so majesticly yesterday! ”
Du Ping had a cold face, staring at the gossiping bosses and the people, and sneered: "You wait for me!" Soon the shepherd will come out! ”
As soon as Du Ping's words fell, the door of the Mu family was opened, Du Ping was happy in his heart, his face was triumphant, and he hurriedly pointed towards the door of the Mu family: "Look! Didn't the shepherd come to meet us? ”
When the people heard this, they held the tea in their hands, and gathered towards the door of the herd's house with a mocking face, and the bosses saw that they were close, and they all came over to see the excitement, and many people on the street also stretched their necks and glanced at this side.
"Yo, the Mu family won't really come, right?"
"I think even if someone comes, it's hard to invite this woman in."
Boss Sun sneered, with a look of contempt, this Boss Sun, that is, the one who quarreled with Du Ping the most fiercely yesterday, Du Ping was about to mock him, who knew that Lian Qingyu walked out of the pastoral mansion, she had a gentle smile on her face, and said softly: "The head of the family has an order, except for her, other people can come in." ”
After Lian Qingyu said that, he stretched out his jade finger and pointed in the direction of Du Ping, Du Ping's face froze, and his smile instantly froze.
Lian Qingyu glanced at Du Ping with a mocking smile on her face, then looked away and stared at Bai Jinyu and them: "You guys come with me." ”
After she said that, she turned her head and walked into the pastoral mansion, no matter how Du Ping scolded, even Qingyu smiled faintly and ignored it.
Ding Nianyi rubbed his temples, a wry smile flashed over his peach blossom eyes, he looked at Du Ping seriously, and said helplessly: "Mother, this is all the meaning of the head of the herdsman, you might as well go home first." ”
Ding Nianyi always felt that what Lian Qingyu said was difficult to be the original intention of the head of the herdsman. But he didn't have time to think about it, he just wanted Du Ping to go back quickly, and he didn't want his mother to be pointed at as a joke.
"Go home? The head of the family has such a deep friendship with my husband, how could he not let me enter the house? Why should I go home? It must have been the maid who lied to the shepherd's order just now! I'm here today, and I'm waiting for the shepherd to welcome me in, and then I'll leave here!" ”
Du Ping tilted her head slightly, and looked coldly at Boss Sun, insisting on slapping her swollen face and becoming fat, and she didn't want to move her place to live or die!
Ding Nianyi was helpless, and it was difficult to persuade Du Ping again, so he had to follow Bai Jinyu and walked into the Mu Mansion, Du Ping was so pestle at the door of the Mu Mansion, holding on to her face, waiting for Mu Chen to come out to pick her up, and she was unwilling to leave.
After Lian Qingyu took a few of them to the pastoral mansion, he said with a light smile: "I heard that you have one thing, you have a request for the head of the family, I don't know if it is the case between the You family and the Liu family four years ago?"
Coincidentally, today there is a young man who claims to be a descendant of the Liu family, and he also came to the door of the Mu family, wanting to let the head of the family help him redress his grievances, and now he is staying in the lobby, our head of the family didn't want to take care of it, but seeing that your two families have arrived, I am also interested in my heart, and I want to start dealing with this case. ”
You Xueyao followed behind Lian Qingyu, looked at Lian Qingyu's high-minded demeanor, and sneered, with a touch of disdain in her eyes.
It's just a maid, why is she arrogant, what's the big deal? Isn't it just a slave?
Ding Nian's heart moved, his handsome eyebrows raised slightly, and he looked at Lian Qingyu: "This Liu family reported the case, and a teenager came?" ”
As soon as Ding Nian asked, You Wei's face turned pale, he clenched his hands, his face turned slightly pale, and his expression was a little uncomfortable.
"Yes, since the village chief of Hong Village sentenced the three hundred taels of gold to the Liu family, within a few days, the sixteen members of the Liu family's family all died.
Today, the young man of the Liu family came to the pastoral mansion in order to sue the You family and murder their whole family. What are you from the You family to sue the Liu family today? ”
Lian Qingyu paused, turned his eyes, and looked at You Xueyao and You Wei with a smile: "Should you be...... I think that the case judged by the head of Hongcun Village is wrong, and I want our family master to re-judge the case and award the gold to you, right? ”
After hearing this, You Wei's complexion changed suddenly, cold sweat fell from his forehead, he took two steps back, and his voice trembled: "No...... Now, this girl, we are not here today because of that case, but just to visit the head of the family! ”
You Xueyao was stunned in her heart, and her eyes were full of puzzlement: "Dad, didn't you tell me at home that it was clearly the Liu family who robbed our family of gold, but the village chief misjudged the gold to the Liu family, our You family wants to come to the herdsman today, let the herdsman retry this case, and help us get the three hundred taels of gold back?" ”
"Don't talk nonsense! I...... When did I say I was going to ask the shepherd to help us get the gold back? After we visited the shepherd, we hurried home! ”
You Wei's face was pale, his eyes were red, and he glared at You Xueyao, which scared You Xueyao a lot.
Why didn't he understand what he meant, a stupid daughter? He originally thought that all the people in the Liu family were dead, so he wanted to take advantage of the relationship between the head of the herd family and take the gold for himself, but who would have thought that the Liu family still had a child who did not die!
In case that kid has evidence of his own murder of the Liu family in his hand, even if he is protected by the old man of the Lin family, and he is not stripped of a layer of skin, this matter will not be easy!
"But Daddy ......"
You Xueyao was about to ask, but Mu Chen was dressed in a black robe, with high black hair and a cold face, and walked towards You Wei. The momentum on his body was extremely strong, his breath was cold, and he was followed by several attendants, and another handsome-looking young man of about fifteen or sixteen years old.
After Lian Qingyu saw Mu Chen, she hurriedly bowed to Mu Chen, lowered her head slightly, and waited at Mu Chen's side, although Lian Qingyu was one of the eight hall masters in the ghost gate, her status was much higher than Mu Chen, but in this Mu Mansion, she was just a maid, and when she saw Mu Chen, she would also salute.
When You Wei saw Mu Chen coming, he was shocked, his face turned white, he took a few deep breaths, and bowed to Mu Chen in a trembling voice: "Ginseng...... See the Shepherd! ”
You Xueyao also followed You Wei and saluted Mu Chen, she turned her eyes and saw Bai Jinyu frowning, with a cold face, like a mourning star, I didn't know what I was thinking, and I suddenly felt bored in my heart.
"Idiot, let you follow us into the pastoral mansion, it is considered that you have accumulated virtue in your previous life, and you still dare to frown, you can't see the You family, right?"
You Xueyao didn't regard Bai Jinyu as a human being at all, no matter what the occasion, he would be reprimanded, and he would not be taboo at all, You Wei already had some fear in his heart at this time, and he was anxious to find someone to vent the fear in his heart, so he had a cold face and glared at Bai Jinyu: "Half slave is half slave, and you can't get on the stage!" Don't get out of here! ”
After he said that, he respectfully hugged his fist towards Mu Chen, and said in a deep voice: "Mu family master, it's better to let this half-slave leave first, her mother-in-law also said to let her go to our house to grind today, it's better to let her go to our house to work first!" Staying here will dirty your mansion! ”
If it weren't for Ding Nianyi, a kid, he would have to bring this half-slave with him, and he wouldn't have been in the same carriage with her when he died! It's so insulting!
Although Mu Chen's face turned out to be cold, it was normal, he listened to the words of the You family's father and daughter, his face instantly became gloomy, the green tendons on the back of his hand exploded, he clenched his hands tightly, and said coldly: "Are you here for that case a few years ago?" Present the evidence in your hands. ”
The young man of the Liu family behind Mu Chen, from beginning to end, has been looking at You Xueyao and them, his eyes are full of resentment, and he bites his lips out of blood, You Wei saw that Mu Chen ignored his words, he was a little ashamed in his heart, and wanted to say it again, so the young man of the Liu family raised his hand and pointed coldly towards You Wei!
"Shepherd, don't believe their words, or the evidence in their hands! Their evidence is all fake! A few years ago, when I returned home, I saw You Wei leave our house with a few people. And my parents and relatives, after he left, all fell in a pool of blood!
I still have a lot of evidence in my hand that I have collected for many years, such as the murder of hired people, etc., for the head of the family to see. ”
The young man of the Liu family looked at You Wei with hatred, two tears flowed in his eyes, he gritted his teeth, took out a thick stack of papers from his arms, and handed it to Mu Chen, Mu Chen lowered his eyes, flipped through the papers, and nodded: "These evidences can indeed fully prove that You Wei was motivated by money, but because he didn't get money, he led people to commit murder and murdered the Liu family." ”
You Wei looked at the evidence in a daze, opened his lips, and trembled like a quail.
He spent so much silver and sent someone to forge evidence, wanting to find the head of the herdsman family to prove that the three hundred taels of gold were rewarded by the Bai family in the imperial city to his family, and he wanted to possess the gold, but he never expected that he would be invited into the urn today!
These people must have colluded and deliberately dug a pit for him to jump!
