Uncle Yan raised his head, glanced at Yan Zixi, and finally turned away, letting Yan Zixi be taken out by those officials.

And Yan Zixi's heart also cooled down, she didn't expect that her uncle would choose not to believe her.

In this way, Yan Zixi was taken to the county government by the officials.

Above the county hall, Mrs. Li's son Li Erde and his wife were kneeling there.

As soon as Li's wife saw that Yan Zixi was brought over, she immediately cried there.

"Ouch, my dear mother, you died so miserably! This heartless quack doctor has killed you! ”

While crying, Li's wife was about to rush over and pull Yan Zixi's hair, but fortunately she was stopped by the official next to her.

Seeing this, Yan Zixi also hurriedly explained: "You calm down, listen to me, I didn't kill Mrs. Li, her death has nothing to do with me, I was wronged!" ”

"Wronged?! Many people have seen my mother-in-law go to see her the day before she died, and no one has seen her after you left, you are not the murderer, who is the murderer! ”

Mrs. Li's face was hideous, and she was sure that Yan Zixi had killed Mrs. Li.

Just when Yan Zixi was about to argue, the master sitting on the first floor of the high platform shouted loudly: "The county master has arrived!" ”

Soon, Cheng Sanshui, who was wearing an official uniform, walked over with his head held high.

After sitting down, he slapped the board and shouted, "Ascend!" ”

"Mighty ......"

After the officials on both sides finished shouting, Cheng County Ling opened his mouth to ask.

"Who is kneeling in the hall?"

Li Erde and Li's wife glanced at each other, and then replied respectfully.

"The little Li Erde and his wife Li visited the adult, please be sure to avenge the little one."

"What grievances do you have? Who are you going to sue? ”

"Lord Huiyu County, the little old mother was killed yesterday, and the murderer who killed my mother was none other than the doctor of Miaochuntang, Yan Zixi of the Yan family!"

"What...... Is it? Cheng Xianling was also taken aback when he heard this, and when he looked up, he saw Yan Zixi who had been arrested under the hall.

Yan Zixi had just saved her son a few days ago, and Cheng County had rewarded her in public, so he didn't believe that Yan Zixi was a murderer in his heart.

"Li Erde, what's going on? Tell me the details, if there is even the slightest lie, I will torture you!" ”

"Ah, yes...... The little ones don't dare! ”

Li Erde was startled, and randomly took out a piece of paper with words written on it from his arms and presented it, "The little mouth is stupid and can't speak, so I entrusted the master to write a piece of paper, and asked the county magistrate to look at it." ”

Cheng Xian Ling glanced at the master next to him, and the master walked down, took the paper from Li Erde's hand and handed it over.

Cheng Xianling took a closer look at the contents on the paper, and his face suddenly became gloomy.

Yan Zixi, who was kneeling in the hall, was even more anxious and anxious in her heart, suffering every minute and every second.

After Cheng Xianling read the pleadings, he slapped the desk suddenly, and scolded Yan Zixi in his mouth.

"Bold Yan Zixi, are you guilty?"

"What is the crime of the people's daughter?" Yan Zixi didn't do this in the first place, and responded without changing her face and heartbeat.

"This official asks you, where were you yesterday?"

Yan Zixi thought for a moment and replied truthfully: "Back to my lord, yesterday when the people's daughter was at Mrs. Li in the grass hut in the suburbs. ”

"What's the matter?"

"See a doctor for her."

"Then do you know that Mrs. Li died violently yesterday?"

Yan Zixi shook her head, "The folk girl doesn't know, and the folk girl only learned the news of Mrs. Li's murder this morning......"

"Hmph, you are the only one who has seen my mother-in-law during this period, and you killed my mother-in-law! Wow, county master, you must be the master of the little one! ”

Before Yan Zixi finished speaking, Li's wife on the side couldn't wait to splash dirty water.

Yan Zixi shook her head and cried out for herself, "My lord, Mrs. Li really didn't kill her!" Do you have any certificates? Is there any physical evidence? Besides, do I have any motive for killing? ”

Three questions in a row, not only did Li's wife refute speechless, but even Cheng County's order was a little overwhelmed.

After a moment of silence, Cheng Xianling patted the table before speaking.

"In view of the fact that the relevant evidence in this case is not complete, it is necessary to conduct a corresponding investigation. However, Yan Zixi is still the one who is most likely to commit the crime, so he cannot be released for the time being, and must be detained and imprisoned. ”

Saying that, Cheng County's order shouted at the officials on both sides: "Come on, put the prisoner Yan Zixi in prison, take strict care, and make a decision in the future." Retire! ”

"Mighty ......"

……

County Yahou Hall.

Cheng Yicai angrily pushed the door and broke in.

"Dad, I heard that you arrested Yan Zixi of the Yan family?"

Cheng Xianling took a sip of tea, and then said leisurely: "So what?" ”

"Yan Zixi, what crime did he commit?"

"The people of the Li family accused her of killing her mother, Mrs. Li......"

"Is there any physical evidence?" Cheng Yicai asked anxiously.

Cheng Xianling also noticed that his son seemed to be a little abnormal, so he frowned and asked, "Yicai, what's wrong with you today?" I don't see you caring about the case on weekdays, why do you ask this and that today? ”

"Oh, Dad, I forgot to tell you, I have already given Yan Zixi a marriage letter, and I want to take her as a concubine!"

"What?!" When Cheng Xianling heard this, he was immediately shocked: "Why don't you discuss such a big matter with your father?" ”

"Dad, I just want to have fun, who has thought about it so much."

"Since that's the case, then this matter is just done, now that Yan Zixi is suspected of killing someone, you still don't want to wade into this troubled water." Cheng County made the Buddha comfort.

Cheng Yicai was a little unwilling, "Dad, how can I do that?" I just spent a lot of money to get some money, and now that the beauty has not yet arrived in my arms, I will be asked to be beheaded, and I don't agree to this. ”

"Hugh is going to mess around! Yicai, this is a matter of human life, you can't do nonsense. Cheng Xianling pretended to be serious and scolded his son.

Cheng Yicai didn't care, but walked up to Cheng County's order, but asked in a low voice.

"Dad, I don't think it's that simple, right? How much oil and water did you collect? ”

Knowing the son is more than the father, this sentence is also applicable in reverse.

Cheng Sanshui was told by his son, and immediately touched his beard and laughed.

"Son, you shouldn't really fall in love with that little girl of the Yan family, right?"

"Not really, this is a woman like this I have never tasted. In this way, Dad, you first postpone her case for a few days, I will go and have a good chat with her, if she is willing to obediently obey me, then Dad, you can help her a little bit, and avoid this capital crime, if you don't follow me, how about you deal with it then? ”

Cheng Sanshui pointed at Cheng Yicai, shook his head, and laughed in his mouth: "You stinky boy...... Don't make any trouble for me! ”

"Don't worry, Dad, no, then I'll go over?"

After obtaining his father's consent, Cheng Yicai pushed it out and went straight to the county jail.

……

Cheng Yicai trotted all the way to the door of the county jail, and walked in without any hesitation.

As soon as they entered, the two guards hurriedly stood up.

Seeing that it was Cheng Yicai coming, he immediately put down the wine glass in his hand, greeted Cheng Yicai respectfully, and greeted him flatteringly.

"See the young master of the process!"

"Young Master Cheng, how did you have the leisure and elegance to come to our dim dungeon today?"

Cheng Yicai glanced at the two servants, cleared his throat, and snorted, "Hmph, does Young Master Ben still need to report to you?" ”

"Naturally, no, no...... Haha......"

"Let me ask you, was there a girl who was taken into custody just now? Where is she being held? ”

The two officials glanced at each other, and then asked tentatively.

"Young Master Cheng, you're talking about the Yan family's Miaochun Hall's doctor, Miss Yan Zixi, right?"

"That's right, it's her." Cheng Yicai nodded, "Where is she now?" ”

"Young Master Cheng, that girl is locked in the innermost prison, Young Master Cheng, do you want to see her?"

Cheng Yicai's eyes were a little erratic, and he lowered his voice and said, "Give me the key, you guys go out first!" ”

"Yes!"

The two officials snickered, and then handed over the key to the cell where Yan Zixi was being held.

Cheng Yicai took the key and ran to the innermost part of the dungeon, and sure enough, he saw Yan Zixi who was already wearing a cloak there.

"Miss Yan, don't come unharmed!"

Yan Zixi couldn't help but raise her head when she heard this somewhat familiar man's voice, and when she saw that it was Cheng Yicai, Yan Zixi immediately exclaimed in surprise.

"Cheng Gongzi, is that you? Are you here to save me? ”

"Miss Yan, don't worry, I've heard about you, so I went to intercede with my father, but he reprimanded me."

Cheng Yicai pretended to be aggrieved, and secretly observed the change in Yan Zixi's expression from the corner of his eye.

Immediately, Cheng Yicai sighed again, and said very embarrassed: "It's a pity, the people of the Li family insist that you killed Mrs. Li, and now my father has sent a servant to conduct an autopsy, I'm afraid the result will be unfavorable to you......"

"That'...... Is there nothing that can be done? ”

"It's not that there is no ...... way"

Cheng Yicai's eyes rolled, and then he pretended to be profound: "Actually, to put it bluntly, the reason why the couple of the Li family insisted that you were murderers was nothing more than to extort some money from your Yan family, as long as they can satisfy them and let them stop suing you, this matter will be easy to do." ”

Yan Zixi originally thought that she had grabbed a life-saving straw, but when she heard Cheng Yicai say this, she was a little desperate again.

Now the Yan family is eager to draw a line with her, a broom star, and expects them to take out money to block the mouths of the Li family and his wife, but I am afraid that it will be difficult to reach the sky.

Cheng Yicai seemed to see what Yan Zixi was thinking, and then said again: "Miss Yan, you don't have to worry about money, I can help you take care of it." It's just ......"

After a slight pause, Cheng Yicai's gaze wandered over Yan Zixi's body, and then asked leisurely, "...... Before, I asked the matchmaker to tell you about your relationship, how did you think about it? ”
