67,
Xu Han was stunned for a moment, she couldn't find a sense of reality for a while, as if she was in a dream.
The old man on the side was still shouting for Lord Qingtian to take over her form.
Without waiting for Xu Han to speak, Xu Han's figure leaned and was embraced by the person in front of him.
Xu Han, "......"
What kind of painting style is this?
She was stunned for a moment, and immediately put her hand on Xiao Wei's chest without a trace, so as not to get too close to him, besides, two men, hugging on the street, doesn't it make people think about it?
Moreover, since I was a child, it seems that except for my mother, I have not been embraced by a man into a bad experience, even if my brother expressed his love in the past, at most he just gently patted his shoulder.
Yes, when Xiao Wei was so sincere and hugged her with a strong reunion after a long absence, she was stunned.
What medicine did this man take? It's crazy.
She patted him lightly on the back,
"There's a lot of people here."
But Xiao Wei didn't hear it, but just said in a low voice,
"It's you, it's really you."
When facing Sanniang and Chen Laosi and other water bandits on the river, she didn't feel scared, because she knew what she was going to do.
At this moment, her heart suddenly softened, but she still hit the bridge of his nose with her own head.
With Xiao Wei snorting, the hand holding her also let go. He covered his nose with his hand, and then looked at Xu Han.
A smile welled up in his eyes.
This smile made Xu Han feel so familiar, hot like fire, and soft inside.
Xu Han couldn't help but lower his eyes slightly, avoiding his gaze.
It's strange that the eyes that can be considered gentle make her feel uneasy.
However, Xu Han is a person, even if his heart is stormy, he can still be as immobile as a mountain on his face.
"Aren't you in Kyochu? Why did you suddenly appear here? She asked.
The corners of Xiao Wei's mouth curved slightly, and he smiled and whispered, "Guess." ”
Xu Han, "......"
There was a smile in his voice, and his eyes were also smiling, but Xu Han felt that his eyes were like still water, hiding an undercurrent that she didn't know.
She didn't know what happened to Xiao Wei after she left the capital, but when did the chilling killing decision he carried on him actually come into being.
She only knew that Xiao Xiao must have experienced something unusual during this time.
Xiao Wei bowed his head in the direction of the old lady and said,
"Do you think she's really wronged?"
Xu Han shook her head, she had just arrived, how could she know?
Xiao Wei paused and said with a smile, "If you find out about this case, I will tell you something." ”
"Something important to you."
After that, he winked at Xu Han.
How could Xu Han listen to his deception? Moreover, her current identity is Xu Xiuyan's entourage, how can she try the case?
Xiao Wei didn't wait for her to react, and pulled her out, and the aura on his body was constricted, as if he was the gentleman in the capital.
The official with the knife had not been able to pull his thigh out of the girl's hand, and his face was full of helplessness, and he said,
"Old woman, the county lord is not in the yaya today, it is useless for you to kneel here, it is better to come back tomorrow."
The old woman cried,
"The old woman has been here for three days in a row, and the county lord has not been in the county government once, will the county magistrate be there until my daughter-in-law is sentenced?"
The onlookers saw that the old woman was really pitiful, so they pleaded,
"Master Errand Officer, this grandfather and grandson are really pitiful, her daughter-in-law is very filial to her mother-in-law, and she is powerless, so she doesn't look like a great evil."
"Otherwise, you can open the net and accept the situation."
"That's it, that's it, when people come to shout grievances, why do they drive people away?"
Xu Han stopped and refused to go out, "What are you doing, if you want to be the master of the blue sky, you can go." ”
The assassination on the river has not yet been resolved, and those soldiers at the gate of the city know if they have gotten the portrait, and she will go out like this, and she will be arrested when the time comes......
She shook her head, thinking that Xu Xiuyan was in the mansion now, and if she hadn't met Xiao Wei, she would definitely have to go to Xu Xiuyan, wouldn't she be recognized?
Anyway, they all recognized it, so she simply followed Xiao Wei away to see how he did the Qingtian Lord.
The errand who was holding his thigh looked really different, if it was another errand officer, he would have kicked the girl away, but this one didn't.
just stood there helplessly, sweat flowing, and persuaded in his mouth,
"Don't worry, old man, the government will be opened tomorrow, or you will come over at that time."
The old woman refused to get up, and if their grandchildren didn't get up, the messenger couldn't leave, so the three of them were in a stalemate.
At this time, the county magistrate also came out, and Xu Xiuyan followed behind with Yuan Qing and stood by the gate of the mansion.
Xiao Xiao pulled Xu Han and didn't let go, and he didn't step forward when the county order came out, but Xu Han walked over arrogantly with a white burning expression that Xu Han had never seen anywhere, and said with his chin high,
"You're the prefectural magistrate here?"
The county order was suddenly asked by a person, and he was stunned for a moment, but he still said, "Exactly, I don't know ......."
Bai Zhuo's tone was cold and hard, "The master of my family is the prince of the Cheng'en Mansion, and he is also the deputy commander of the Jinyi Guard, he passed by here for the emperor's order, but he didn't expect to encounter such a thing."
This old woman claims to be wronged, if you don't try the case next, how can you call her Qingtian if she kneels outside like this? ”
This is clearly forcing the county order to try the case, and the county order is slightly angry, but he doesn't dare to attack.
Because when Bai Zhuo was introduced, Jinyiwei's tooth card was also exposed.
He frowned slightly, and didn't know how to reply for a moment.
I only heard Bai Zhuo pointing at Xiao Wei and Xu Han, and said,
"Our master said that since the adults can't try it, then he will help you try it on his behalf."
The prefectural magistrate sweated when he heard this.
Jinyiwei, what are you doing? Supervise 100 officials.
Why did the good end appear here, and now he said that he would help him try the case.
Suddenly, the county commander hated to go back to just now, no, a few days ago, he shouldn't have accepted the money from that foreigner.
The county magistrate was confused in his heart, Xiao Wei was already asking Xu Han about the case.
Xu Han has never done the questioning, but he has only seen it in books.
She said,
"This old woman said that there is a big grievance, this is the lord of Jinyiwei, passing by here."
"The duty of the Jinyi guard is to take care of the people, so we took the form of this old woman."
She looked around, pointed to a tea shop she had just sat in front of, and said,
"Everyone, please get out of the way, where are we going to ask about the case?"
This is the time to hear the case in public.
Jinyiwei's reputation is not only like a wicked person in the eyes of hundreds of officials, but also in the perception of the people, he is not a good person.
Some women scare their children who cry in the middle of the night by saying, "If you cry again, if you cry again, the lord of the brocade guard will come and take you away and throw you into Zhao Prison to feed you with knives." ”
It can be seen that Jinyiwei's reputation is really not good.
The onlookers originally heard that Jinyiwei's name was about to escape, but when they heard Xu Han say that he wanted to ask the case in court, they got out of the way and gathered in front of the tea shop, ready to see how Jinyiwei's adults asked about the case.
The county order saw that Xiao Wei was going to be a court trial, and it was the boy who was with 'Ma Gongzi' who was pulling.
Suddenly I couldn't figure out whether this young man was Ma Gongzi's servant or this Jinyiwei's entourage.
However, he stepped forward and arched his hand towards Xiao Wei,
"My lord, the lower official didn't accept this case, because her daughter-in-law's murder was complete in human and material evidence, and there was nothing to refute."
"Since the adults are passing by here, then please come and discern it, so as not to complain here."
The crowd moved to the tea shop.
Xiao Wei didn't say anything, just sat down in the tea shop, but he also knew that it was Xu Han who asked the case and asked her to sit in the middle position.
Xu Han cleared his throat and was about to ask the old woman, but who knows, a gray-haired old man rushed over from the crowd with his hair scattered, lying on the ground and crying bitterly,
"This old woman's stabbed my son with a knife, and begged the adults to call the shots."
Now the plaintiff and the defendant are present together.
Xu Han frowned, and the old man continued to cry, but was stopped by Xu Han.
She asked the old woman and the girl to stand up, "You are old and young, you don't have to kneel, stand and talk." ”
The old woman was grateful, "Thank you, Lord Qingtian." ”
Xu Han's face was a little red, she glared at Xiao Wei, it was all done by this person, let her end it.
Xiao Wei grinned at her.
Xu Han didn't immediately say the old woman's words, but asked the kneeling old man,
"You said it was the old woman's daughter-in-law who killed your son, so do you know why?"
The old man looked at the blind old woman and said hesitantly.
It turned out that the father-in-law and the blind old woman were husband and wife, and the daughter-in-law of the old woman was also the daughter-in-law of the father-in-law, and this was a case of wife murder.
The daughter-in-law has been in the door for some years, and the children are already five or six years old, they are good-looking, usually have a soft personality, and the father-in-law is old, and when he has a new love, he will place the old woman in a separate house, and the daughter-in-law is filial, so she often takes care of her.
This year, I stayed with the old woman for a long time.
The father-in-law's family is rich, and now his son is in charge, and he is called a foreigner outside.
The daughter-in-law has a soft personality, but the outsider's temper is short-tempered, and she often goes out to drink, and after going out to drink a few days ago, she went to the old woman's yard.
The old woman felt sorry for her son, so she asked him to sleep for a while, and the foreigner asked his daughter-in-law to sleep with him, but the daughter-in-law refused, so the two had an argument.
The daughter-in-law didn't want to argue with the daughter-in-law, so she went out of the door, and the outsider also chased out, and the two quarreled on the street, and then the daughter-in-law stabbed him to death on the street.
The old man said indignantly,
"That is so enchanting, I didn't want my son to marry her back then, who would have thought that my son was greedy for her beauty."
"Looking at a supple personality, he is actually a troublemaker."
Hearing this, Xu Han nodded, sympathetic,
"It's true, marrying a wife and marrying a virtuous person, taking a concubine, so a man can't covet beauty."
The old man suddenly saw his bosom friend, "No, it's a pity that my son didn't understand this truth, and finally died in the hands of a woman." ”
Xiao Wei on the side looked at Xu Han with a smile, and put Xu Han's hairs on end, what happened to this person, why did he look so weird.
She rubbed her hands, and the old woman over there stepped forward, "Master Qingtian, you can't listen to this dead ghost's nonsense, my daughter-in-law has a soft temperament, and she will never do anything to assassinate my son on the street." ”
She cried,
"Master Qingtian, you must be the master of my daughter-in-law, if you don't believe it, you can ask everywhere, my daughter-in-law is really a good person, if the old woman didn't have her, she would have died a long time ago."
After speaking, she took a sip and said,
"This dead ghost, with a few stinky money, dislikes me for being blind and old, and kicks me out of the house in order to make room for the little goblin."
"My son is also a bastard, only blame me for not teaching him well, from the time my daughter-in-law came to the door, I often argued with her, and the daughter-in-law had a good temperament, so he let him, just like that, he was not satisfied, and often slept in flowers and willows."
"If it weren't for that, how could she be living in another courtyard with me."
The old man suddenly shouted, "Old pious woman, because that has served you for a few days, you don't even care about your son's death, and you wholeheartedly help that overturn the case." ”
"Why does she live with you, isn't it because there are people outside, and it's convenient for her to steal people there?"
Xu Han heard that the husband and wife were not in harmony, the wife was beautiful, and there was a husband who slept in the willows.
But just because I live in another hospital, I say that I am stealing people outside, which is too far-fetched.
Even if the old woman is blind, there is still a girl, and the old woman is not deaf, if she really wants to do something, will they not know?
She comforted the old woman for a few words, and then continued to ask the old man,
"Do they do it when they get into an argument?"
The old man patted his thigh,
"Fight, why don't you fight, but my son is tall and big, and my daughter-in-law doesn't dare to fight back."
Xu Han let out an 'oh',
"She has a docile temperament, how did she mess with outsiders?"
"If she can't do it, she can only hang herself, and she almost hanged herself last year......"
The old man suddenly shut his mouth, don't say such a thing.
The people on the side, not only Xiao Wei, but even Xu Xiuyan, who came later, couldn't help but smile approvingly for Xu Han's good confession.
Xu Han didn't seem to hear the old man say that the daughter-in-law almost hanged herself, but said,
"Women are like this, crying, making trouble, and hanging themselves."
The onlookers were in an uproar, but they didn't expect such a handsome young man Lang to know this.
Xu Han didn't wait for his uncle to think about anything else, but quickly asked him,
"Since your daughter-in-law has already moved in with the old woman, why is she arguing with your son? Also, since the staff went to find her, it naturally means that the relationship between the two is good. ”
The old man nodded, "They are good and bad." ”
Xu Han was a little confused, since he hadn't been abused for a long time and wanted to kill his husband, why was that?
However, there is still a lot to be done in the trial, such as arraignment of prisoners, questioning of witnesses, and inquests at the scene.
Naturally, Xu Han didn't need to make a move on these things, Xiao Wei not only brought Bai Zhuo, but also brought someone from Jinyiwei over.
Xu Han asked the old woman to sit on the side with the girl, and repeated the question she had just asked her father-in-law, and asked her husband several times.
This method is also the method obtained from the interrogation of spies in the former military camp, repeating the same details and making the person being questioned lose patience and expose possible obstacles.
At the same time, he also allowed himself to verify the authenticity of his father-in-law's words.
The people on the side naturally didn't understand, but Xu Xiuyan looked at Xu Han thoughtfully.
Sure enough, repeated questioning allowed Xu Han to get a lot of details.
At the beginning, Yuanwailang married her because of his wife's beauty, although his wife's temperament was also supple, but because she was too beautiful, it made Yuanwailang feel uneasy.
Later, he even punched and kicked his wife because he was suspicious, and finally because he couldn't bear it, he fled to the old woman's yard with his daughter.
Because he couldn't ask anything else, Xu Han asked the old man to rest on the side, and then waited for the prisoner to come over, and the witnesses to come.
At this time, Xu Han asked Xiao Wei quietly,
"What the hell did you do here? How do you know I'm here? ”
Just now he hugged himself and said that it was really you, it was clearly a feeling of the rest of his life, could it be that he knew that he was being hunted down?
Xiao Wei closed his eyes, he did hear that Xu Han and his party were hunted down.
The moment he heard Hongying say that Huo Shiniang was dead, he really hated to die with her.
At the very least, when he enters the Yellow Spring, he can always find her, instead of walking alone in this world.
It was only later, when he saw the eldest princess of Shuyang, he knew that he couldn't be willful.
After calming down, Xu Han's face jumped into his mind unexpectedly, and deep in his heart, he still didn't fully believe what Hongying said.
So, he wanted to go to Jiangnan, and he wanted to confirm Xu Han's identity again.
Unexpectedly, halfway through, they received news that Xu Han and their boat were attacked on the river, and now Xu Han and Xu Xiuyan are missing.
At that time, he was a little confused, he originally thought that if he confirmed that Xu Han was really not, then he would regard him as his best confidant.
He is willing to continue this friendship forever, rather than destroy it because of his delusions.
It's just that before he could confirm it, Xu Han disappeared!
He instructed the Jinyi guards to search everywhere, and as a result, he found clues in a small village, and knew that they had just entered the city, so he chased them non-stop.
In fact, he followed behind Xu Han, saw her change two tea shops, and finally walked towards the county office.
He admits that he is very bad, and he has been tempted again and again, and even this case is also his temptation.
He felt that he had been poisoned, and if he didn't get rid of it, it would still be a dead word.
He smiled and told the truth, "I came down to escort the grain, and I heard that you had an accident halfway through, so I came to find you, but fortunately you are fine." ”
He took out another letter from his arms, "This is a letter from the concubine to you, you don't have time to read it now, I'll keep it for you first." ”
After speaking, he was about to put it back in his arms, but Xu Han snatched it quickly.
At this time, the Jinyi guard, who had gone to interrogate the prisoner, came over with the prisoner.
Xu Han carefully put the letter into his arms.
She looked at the woman she brought, and her heart was a little unbearable.
Yuanwailang's daughter-in-law's surname is Wen, because she came out of prison, her hair was scattered, her eyes were also scattered and worried, her face was swollen and injured, and she sat on the ground without saying a word, crying or making trouble, like a walking corpse.
Xu Han softened his voice and asked the woman,
"Wen, why did you kill your husband? If there is a grievance, tell the truth. ”
Wen just raised his eyes and looked at Xu Han, then lowered his head and didn't say a word.
The county magistrate on the side suddenly mocked,
"What other grievances can she have, killing people in the street, the evidence is conclusive."
The old woman on the side suddenly knelt down,
"Lord Qingtian, my daughter-in-law has always been filial, although it was my son who died, but my daughter-in-law is definitely not the one who does such a thing."
The girl on the side also knelt down, "My mother won't kill anyone, my father is not a good person, and he deserves to die." ”
Wen heard it well on the side, and immediately cried, hugged his mother-in-law and daughter and cried,
"Mother, what are you doing, take Xiaomi back quickly, my daughter-in-law is not filial, and you are tired."
Where is the old woman willing to go back, she said,
"Don't go back, don't go back, my mother knows that you are wronged, Xiaomi is right, he is innocent of death, daughter-in-law, don't worry, Lord Qingtian will definitely give you justice."
The three grandparents hugged their heads and cried, making everyone present cry.
The old man snorted coldly on the side,
"If you kill someone and want to overturn the case, you must let you people bury my son."
The old woman smacked her fiercely, "Old thing, if it weren't for you, how would my son become like that, obviously he was a good child when he was a child." ”
Over there, the murder weapon, the witnesses all brought up, a sharp knife, there were blood stains on it, there were three witnesses, all of them said the same thing, and they did see Wen stabbing at the outsider with a knife.
The case is here, and it seems that it can't be tried, because the murderer is indeed Wen.
The county commander on the side was proud, it seems that the people of Jinyiwei are nothing more than that, it seems that today, how can this Jinyiwei's face be lost.
Compared with his own disgrace, the county commander naturally chose to disgrace the deputy commander of Jinyiwei.
In the future, he can also come up with something to say, which is good for promotion.
Thinking of this, the county magistrate lowered his head with a smile.
Let this person who asks the case be proud for a while, such a case can't be turned over.
See how majestic they are.
The county magistrate glanced at Xu Xiuyan without a trace, and then at Xu Han, his eyes showed a fine light, thinking of his own arrangement, and felt that after today, he could raise his eyebrows again.
Xu Han raised his eyebrows, stood up, and looked at the county magistrate with a smile.
The county magistrate hurriedly smiled, and snorted coldly from his nose.
The drum in the yamen over there was being beaten, and someone was shouting injustice.
Xiao Wei sneered at Bai Zhuo's head and motioned for him to bring people over.
Anyway, this is his biggest, he can do whatever he wants, and sometimes power is so easy to use.
After a while, Bai Zhuo brought someone over, a young woman, who looked a little like Wen.
The woman, who was also pale, with red and swollen eyes, and a hint of determination in her eyes, knelt down,
"My sister is wronged."
Xu Han's eyes were bare, he lifted his robe and sat down, and said with a smile, "Then tell me." ”
The woman bit her lip and said for a long time,
"Because, my sister killed the thief for me."
"Why?"
As soon as the woman's eyes closed, and just as she was about to speak, Wen pounced and covered her mouth,
"Sister, my sister's murder is murder, it has nothing to do with you, you go back, you will live well in the future, and live your sister's share well."
