Chapter II: Self-Confession

Family law? Lin Zhao was taken aback.

His mind is still stuck in the testimony of Chen Xuan and Xiao Tao, searching for clues based on his memory, trying to find clues to get rid of the crime.

When there was just progress, Mrs. Meng's side had already been convicted, and she still had to enforce the family law, what kind of mess?

But I heard Mrs. Meng say angrily: "Drag it down, and beat it with forty sticks!" ”

What the? Lin Zhao was suddenly angry, where is this family law, it is clearly an abuse of lynching to kill people!

When Gu Qi heard this, he was greatly surprised, and pleaded: "Old lady, be gracious, Zhao'er is weak, and forty sticks will definitely not be able to withstand it...... This matter is because the old slave's family education is not strict, let me take it for me! ”

Uncle, what are you doing here? Although Lin Zhao was moved, he was more angry! If we have been wronged, why should we accept punishment?

Why don't you let me say something? Ahh Lin Zhao's body kept shaking, and he snorted heavily, wanting to express his dissatisfaction.

Gu Yuelun was still smart and shouted: "Old lady, why don't you let my cousin say something, maybe he was wronged, maybe there is some misunderstanding......"

"Cousin, I love you to death!" Lin Zhao slandered in his heart, and finally someone noticed his appeal!

Gu Qi also came back to his senses and pleaded: "Old lady, the old slave begs you, let Zhao'er say something!" If he really made a mistake, we willingly accept the punishment! ”

"Grandmother, let's listen to what I say, so that he can be convinced......" Lin Zhao heard clearly, it was a woman who spoke, it was Meng Ruoying, the eldest lady of the Meng family, I didn't expect her to be there.

"Old lady, do you want to tolerate him to be rude to his sister-in-law again?" Chen Xuan again, Lin Zhao was furious, and he had already greeted the eighteenth generation of his ancestors several times in his heart.

This revenge is not a gentleman, after Lao Tzu gets out, there are you two good-looking dog men and women......

"Why not let him speak? If he dares to talk nonsense, he will disrupt his dog's legs...... "Miss Meng is reasonable, but why bother to look at people?"

Old Madam Meng pondered for a moment, and finally nodded.

It's not easy, it's finally a chance to justify!

The rags in the mouth were finally removed, the fishy smell was far away, and a breath of fresh air poured into the mouth and nose, one word - cool!

"Lin Zhao, what do you say?" It was Meng Ruoying who asked.

Lin Zhao took a few deep breaths greedily and said coldly: "Naturally, I have something to say, but first you have to loosen my ties and let me stand up!" ”

"A bold thief, he dares to speak wildly......" Chen Xuan scolded first!

"Which green onion are you? When will it be your turn for the Meng family to point fingers? Lin Zhao's words really choked Chen Xuan, although many people subconsciously regarded him as the future uncle of the Meng family, but in fact, Meng Ruoying had not looked at him a few times.

Lin Zhao continued: "What power do you have to tie me up? ”

"Evil slave, just because you committed something in the Meng family!" Meng Ruoying was in charge of hundreds of workers of the Meng family, and she was used to being commanding, so she was very uninterested in Lin Zhao's hard-mouthed servants.

Lin Zhao said with a smile: "Don't be angry, in this case, why don't you hand me over to the Jiangning County Government, and the government will try and convict me!" Why did the Meng family set up a private court? Abuse of lynching, trying to kill someone? Is it possible to flout the law of the land? ”

You...... Meng Ruoying was suddenly angry.

"Alright, untie him!" Mrs. Meng spoke, and no one dared to disobey.

The so-called family ugliness should not be publicized, and today it is said that if you send yourself to the government office, you will be full of rumors about Jiangning. Maybe there will be countless versions derived, and the Meng family can't afford to lose this person!

In fact, it is also common for large families to punish domestic slaves who make mistakes, and Lin Zhao also bluffed casually to enhance his momentum. Mrs. Meng was worried, and agreed without thinking about it.

The rope was loosened, and the numb limb was in great pain. An honest man of medium stature pounced over and said with concern, "Zhao'er, are you okay?" ”

Lin Zhao saw that his uncle Gu Qi had tears in his eyes, and there were blood stains on his forehead, and his heart was not even better! Gritted his teeth and said, "It's okay, uncle doesn't have to worry!" ”

As he spoke, he stood up with the pain and gently moved his almost numb limbs.

"Little thief, what do you have to say?" Chen Xuan asked coldly.

Lin Zhao turned around and smiled, "Why are you in a hurry?" What's the saying? The emperor is not in a hurry, the eunuch is in a hurry, what does this matter have to do with you? ”

Chen Xuan had a ghost in his heart, and he immediately didn't dare to say more.

"Okay, stop talking nonsense, what justification do you have?" Meng Ruoying felt a little strange, her brother's honest and sincere companion didn't seem to be this virtue......

Lin Zhao's gaze fell on Meng Ruoying, with fair skin, bright eyes and red lips, green silk hanging shoulders, a small red mole at the corner of her eyebrows was particularly obvious, and her whole body was full of competence. At this time, he was staring at himself expressionlessly, but it was quite majestic, and Lin Zhao secretly wondered in his heart how the beauty looked when she smiled?

Meng Ruoying was surprised to find that Lin Zhao was staring at herself, her expression was slightly unnatural, and there was a little more displeasure in her phoenix eyes.

Lin Zhao rushed to Miss Meng before she became angry, bowed slightly, and said, "Old lady, miss, Lin Zhao is rude, please forgive me!" ”

"Do you know what rudeness is?" Meng Ruoying made a pun.

Lin Zhao smiled faintly: "It seems that the young lady is prejudiced against Zaixia, since this is the case, it seems that it is necessary to prove her innocence first......

Chen Xuan and Li secretly exchanged glances, and couldn't help but be a little nervous, how could a nerd who has always been clumsy and clumsy be so eloquent?

Lin Zhao said eloquently: "May I ask Xiao Tao a few questions?" ”

"Ask, how long will you be able to flamm?" Meng Ruoying nodded slightly, while Old Madam Meng remained silent.

Lin Zhao turned to look at the witness Xiao Tao and asked, "Let me ask you a few questions, you have to answer truthfully, where were you decocting medicine at that time?" ”

Xiao Tao replied, "I was decocting medicine outside the window of the Westinghouse at that time!" ”

Lin Zhao nodded and continued to ask, "Is there a screen in the young lady's house, in which direction?" ”

"This ......" Xiao Tao began to feel that something was wrong, but Lin Zhao asked tightly, so he had to answer truthfully: "There is a screen in the young lady's room, in the corner of the west wall of the bedroom!" ”

"Good!" Lin Zhao asked, "Today...... Have you ever changed your clothes? ”

"Dengzi ......" When Lin Zhao asked whether the girl had changed her clothes or not, Meng Ruoying muttered softly.

Lin Zhaoquan didn't hear it, and waited quietly for the answer!

Xiao Tao was a little hairy by Lin Zhao's sharp eyes, and said, "What does it matter, why are you so rude to ask?" ”

"Maybe it's a little abrupt, but please answer truthfully, it has a lot to do with this matter!" Lin Zhao asked in a deep voice.

Xiao Tao's eyes swept over, and when she saw that the old lady and the young lady did not speak, she obviously acquiesced, but she promised: "I haven't changed my clothes today......

"That's good...... Lin Zhao nodded with satisfaction, and asked with a smile: "Where is Childe's inner study?" ”

"East House!"

Lin Zhao clapped his hands and said: "That's weird, I went to the study of the East House Boy to deliver books, the young lady's bedroom is in the West House, the screen is on the west wall of the West House, and there is a main hall in the middle, and you are decocting medicine outside the window of the West House." You bite the bullet and repeat it many times that I peep at the young lady...... Change...... In other words, I didn't break in, so where did I peep from?

The only possible place is outside the window on the front of Westinghouse, and you happen to be there at that time. Are you turning a blind eye to me? Or did my gaze peek through the walls and screens...... Young lady...... What about changing clothes? ”

There are many convenient places behind the screen in the bedrooms of large families, and it is elegant to say that it is to change clothes, but it is actually not to go to the toilet! Lao Tzu doesn't have the evil taste of peeping at women going to the toilet......

"This ......" Taozi suddenly became a little flustered, and her eyes for help glanced at the young lady and Chen Xuan from time to time...... After a long time, he said, "Maybe I remembered ...... wrong."

"Okay, second question, you said that when you went in with the medicine, I was in a panic to escape, and I bumped into you, right?" Lin Zhao continued: "If this is the case, it is natural for the medicine bowl to be poured...... You haven't changed your clothes today, and I haven't had a chance to change your clothes, but how come there is no trace of decoction on your clothes?

Of course, you might say, the medicine was spilled on the ground? I wonder if the young lady's room has been cleaned? Are there any traces? How coincidental it was? Maybe you're misremembering again......"

Two questions in a row made Xiao Tao unable to answer, but to a large extent, they reflected the problem......

Lin Zhao smiled: "Okay, I'm done asking, I believe that the old lady and the eldest lady will make a decision!" As he spoke, he glanced coldly at Chen Xuan and Li, with a victor's smile on the corner of his mouth.

In order to cover up their own facts, they killed people and turned to the wicked to sue first, but there were too many loopholes in the things they did in the chaos and they were not strict enough. Or because of the suddenness of the matter, it was quickly intervened by other people in the Meng Mansion, and there was no time to arrange the confession. In order to make the testimony credible, Xiao Tao made up for it by herself and consciously described many details, which looked plump and real, but in fact she lifted a stone and shot herself in the foot.

Ordinary people may not have paid attention, but it is easy for Lin Zhao, who is a criminal investigation professional, to easily find clues from it, so as to prove his innocence.

It's not easy to justify yourself, and now it's up to them to make the difference......

ps: In the Song Dynasty, the daughter of the master's family was called a lady, and the young lady may refer to the girl more, but if she really uses it like this, the Meng Niangzi full of articles looks uncomfortable, and it will make people misunderstand that she is married. Therefore, using the title of Miss looks more comfortable, more understandable, and I hope to understand!
