Chapter 55: See Qin Mei's mother's father

The county lord immediately invited the queen to sit in the room, and hugged her fists:

"May I ask why Niangniang suddenly came to the minister's mansion today?"

The queen mother then took out the notice and asked the county lord:

"Explain to me what this notice is about."

The county lord then respectfully stepped forward to take the notice in the hand of the queen's mother, opened it and looked at it, and immediately frowned, and said:

"Hui Niangniang, this notice is indeed posted in the city by the minister's subordinates, is there any problem with this?"

The queen mother was stunned, and then asked:

"This notice says that this family has committed murder, what is going on, and you will bring the two prisoners you have caught immediately, I want to see."

The county lord was also stunned, and then said:

"What this notice said above is true, there is no mistake, this Qin family is actually dissatisfied with a woman in the village, so the family poisoned the woman alive, this matter has a great impact in the village, if you don't punish this family severely, I am afraid that it will make the people's hearts unstable, so after the minister asked the prime minister, they were sentenced to death, but at present, the daughter of the Qin family is still on the run, and the minister has sent someone to track down her whereabouts, as long as she is caught, she will be severely punished."

The queen then said:

"Oh, you have investigated this case clearly, are there no doubts and misunderstandings in it?"

The county lord hugged his fists:

"Hui Niangniang, the facts of this case are clear and clear, the human and material evidence are there, and the Qin family can't get out of it, although they don't admit it and deny it, but under the torture in the prison, the two of them still recruited, so there is no doubt or misunderstanding in this case, please rest assured, as an official of the court, it is not good to kill a person, but it will not put a bad person wrong."

The queen mother nodded and said:

"Well, that's good, you immediately ask your subordinates to bring the two Qin family members to me, I want to take a look."

The county adults are a little embarrassed:

"Niangniang, I'm afraid it's a little bad to bring two death row prisoners to see you here! Why did the mother want to see them? “

The queen said seriously:

"Oh, I'm also looking for someone from the Qin family, I went out of the palace to receive the favor of these two people before, my guards saw this notice, saying that you arrested a couple of the Qin family here, I was thinking, are the two husband and wife you arrested are the two people I knew before, the people of the Qin family are very simple and kind, I don't think they should do that hurtful thing and murder others, so, today I came to understand this matter clearly, if it is not the two people of the Qin family I know, then I will not interfere, if it is, Then I will interrogate them personally, and if they really do something to murder others, then punish them severely, and if they are falsely accused, then return their innocence. “

As soon as the county lord heard the queen mother say this, he couldn't shirk it, "Oh, I see, since this is the case, the minister immediately asked his subordinates to go to the prison to bring the two Qin family over, let the mother take a look." “

The queen mother nodded and said:

"Well, then hurry up and send someone to bring the two Qin family you arrested from the prison to me to see."

The county lord immediately walked outside the door and said to the guards outside the door:

"Someone, go and bring the husband and wife of the Qin family in the prison, and the queen wants to meet them."

Immediately two guards came up and hugged their fists and said:

"Yes, sir."

After speaking, the two guards immediately walked quickly.

The queen mother sat on the wooden bench and waited with anxiety, her heart was very bottomless, after all, the county lord had already said that the Qin family husband and wife had confessed, and they had all the human and material evidence for murdering the woman, if the matter was true, the Qin family husband and wife were indeed Qin Meiniang's father, so it would be a little difficult to rescue them, which couldn't help but make her fall into a burst of confusion.

After a while, the two guards brought Qin Meiniang's father into the room, both of them were wearing iron chains on their hands and feet, and there were traces of being beaten all over their bodies, presumably they had suffered some torture and suffered in prison.

When the county lord saw Qin Meiniang's father and mother standing aside, he immediately said sternly:

"Bold, when you see the queen mother, you two don't kneel down and salute, do you want to add a degree of sin!"

Qin Mei's father and mother were suddenly full of surprise, and the two immediately knelt down and bowed in the direction of the queen's mother:

"See the queen mother, mother Chitose!"

The queen mother stared at the two people in front of her, Qin Meiniang's father and mother, who were not ghosts, and was stunned, then got up and said:

The two of them stood up and spoke.

Qin Meiniang and her mother immediately said bitterly to the queen's mother:

"Niangniang, we have been wronged, I have heard of your reputation for a long time, you can definitely overturn the case for our husband and wife, you must have a way to find out the real murderer."

Qin Meiniang's father also immediately kowtowed:

"Niangniang Mingjian, you must make the decision for us~! We are all honest and honest people, how could we poison and murder the people in the village! Wronged! “

When the county lord saw Qin Mei's father like this, he immediately said with unhappiness:

"Humph! Bold, you two Diao Min, you really don't know whether you live or die, you don't dare to admit what you did, just forget it, and still shout grievances with the queen mother here, it's really presumptuous! The two of you poisoned the women in the village, but there are all the human and material evidence, you have already signed and detained, and now you still want to quibble, but you are really unruly and bold. “

The queen mother then said to the county lord:

"Don't talk yet, I have something to ask them?"

The county lord shut up and stood aside with an unhappy face.

The queen mother approached Qin Mei's father and mother and asked:

"Didn't the county adults say that you poisoned and murdered the women in the village, the human and material evidence is there, and you have already signed and detained, it is said that your daughter Qin Meiniang escaped, this is all true, right? Are you two Qin Mei's father? “

Qin Meiniang's father said seriously:

"Hui Niangniang, Mei Niang is indeed my daughter! But she didn't run away! She went back for a day, but she disappeared early the next morning, and my mother and I searched for a while but didn't find her, and I didn't know where she went, but she didn't escape because she poisoned the women in the village! “

As soon as the queen mother heard this, she was sure in her heart that the two people in front of her must be Qin Meiniang's father, and her heart suddenly tightened.

"I went out of the city before, and I received your favor on the way, and you two don't look like bad people, and even less like people who can poison and frame others! Why do you murder the woman? The queen said seriously.

When Qin Meiniang's father and mother heard that the queen mother had gone out of the city to receive their favor before, the two of them were also stunned, because they knew that they had never seen the queen mother, and today was the first time they met the queen mother.

Qin Mei's father was full of doubts and said:

"Oh, we don't seem to have seen Niangniang before! How did the woman die, we don't know, we don't know what's going on, the woman died in our yard, and ate our family's leftovers, when we found out that the woman died, we reported it to the official as soon as possible, but I didn't think about it, the guards sent by the county lord indiscriminately arrested the two of us, and found someone to testify against us, saying that it was our husband and wife who poisoned the woman, in fact, our husband and wife didn't know anything, we were really wronged. “

The queen then said:

"Okay, I know, please rest assured, if you really didn't poison and kill people, I will find a way to give you justice, as for your daughter Qin Meiniang, don't worry, she will be fine."

Qin Mei Niangniang looked at the queen and said excitedly:

"Okay, as long as Mei Niang is fine, her father and I will be relieved."

The queen said seriously:

"With me, she will be fine, and no one dares to treat her badly."

Qin Meiniang's mother immediately knelt on the ground, "Niangniang, you are really a living Bodhisattva, we are not afraid of the old woman and her father even if they are beheaded, we are just worried about Mei Niang, worried that we will not have a good time if she leaves." “

The queen mother immediately picked up Qin Meiniang, who was kneeling on the ground, and said:

"Okay, you get up and talk quickly, since Mei Niang was not at home when the woman was poisoned, then she is safe for the time being, don't worry about her safety, as for the two of you, I will ask the county lord to re-investigate this matter thoroughly, I believe that you will not do the thing of poisoning and murdering others, if you are innocent, I promise, you will be fine."

Qin Meiniang, her mother and her father looked at the queen mother, full of excitement.

"Thank you Niangniang, please Niangniang must make the decision for us, we were wronged, we are not the real murderer who poisoned people." Qin Meiniang, her father was full of excitement.

The queen mother nodded and said:

"Okay, you go down first, I will find someone to retry your case, and you won't be questioned for the time being."

Qin Mei Niang and her mother suddenly cried with joy:

"Thank you, thank you!"

The county lord then said to the queen:

"Niangniang, you see, you have said everything you should ask and say, the two of them are serious offenders and have to be sent back to prison, if you have nothing else, then I will let them be imprisoned."

The queen said seriously:

"Okay, take them away, I'm fine."

After finishing speaking, the county lord immediately waved at the guards on the side and said:

"Put them in prison and wait for them to be released."

The two guards then clasped their fists and said:

"Yes."

The two guards immediately escorted Qin Meiniang's father out of the room.

The queen mother then said to the county lord:

"Both of them are honest and responsible people, I don't believe they will do that poisoning of people, there must be something strange in this, don't be in a hurry to understand this case, I will send someone down to retry it after I return to the palace, as an official of the imperial court, you must be meticulous and cautious in doing things, you can't kill a person by mistake, and you can't indulge the real murderer, let the real murderer behind the scenes get away with it, and let the wrongful person die unjustly."
