"What about Bai Shaoqing, the son of Bai Jiao's family?"

"My lord, when the boy saw that his mother had been poisoned, he was so frightened that he cried, and he was humbled and arranged for him to rest in another room."

"Take me to see it?"

In the room, a seven or eight-year-old boy sat on the ground, his eyes were red and swollen from crying, and when Meng Yan and Baohui came in, he was still sobbing quietly.

It's scary, kid, there's no way to react properly when something like this happens.

"Why are you sitting on the ground, how cold it is on the ground, it's not good to freeze your body." The parents committed a crime, but the child was still innocent, and when Meng Yan saw it, he stepped forward and pulled Bai Shaoqing up from the ground.

"Mother, I want my mother's ......"

"Okay, okay, child, don't cry, your mother is fine, she's resting, let's go see her later, okay?"

"Woo, I want my mother, mother's ......" Bai Shaoqing cried vigorously.

"What are you crying about, don't cry." Bao Hui stepped forward and scolded.

"Baohui, this is still a child, what are you doing with such a heavy tone, it scares him." Meng Yan reprimanded.

"Yes, my lord, Bao Hui is wrong!"

"Kid, can you answer a few questions from my uncle?" Finally, Bai Shaoqing stopped crying, and Meng Yan tried to ask.

Bai Shaoqing was stunned for a long time, and then nodded slowly, but looked at Baohui's eyes with a feeling of fear.

This made Bao Hui feel very embarrassed.

"Baohui, the child is hungry, bring me something to eat." Meng Yan waved his hand and motioned for Bao Hui to go out.

"Yes. My lord. Baohui knew that Meng Yan was going to break her up.

"Child, can you tell Uncle Sù, did you bring the food box to your mother from your own family or did someone else buy it for you?"

"An uncle without a beard."

Uncle without a beard, is it a eunuch, Meng Yan "chuckled" in his heart, as expected, whether it is Dongchang or the harem, eunuchs are very normal people.

"Do you know this uncle?"

"I don't know, he said he was asked by my uncle to come." Bai Shaoqing said very seriously.

"Your uncle. Jiao Hong? ”

As soon as Meng Yan heard it, he knew that this beardless guy must be nonsense. Jiao Hong is in prison, how can he find someone to talk to him?

"Uncle, do you know my uncle?" Bai Shaoqing asked curiously.

"Know, know." Meng Yan coughed.

"Then uncle, can you take me to my uncle? They arrested my mother. Only my uncle can save my mother. Bai Shaoqing blinked. Said very seriously.

"Son, your uncle is in a very secret place, what about you. It's inconvenient to go to see him, understand? ”

"Understood, uncle, if I go to see him, the bad guys will follow him and find him, and then they will arrest him as well, right?"

Tong Yan Wuji......

"So, Xiao Qingqing, you tell Uncle Sù, what does Uncle Don't have a beard to look like the person who asked you to come here to find your mother?"

"Uncle is trying to catch the person who hurt my mother?"

"Xiao Qingqing is so smart!"

"He's a little shorter than his uncle, wearing blue clothes and black boots......" Xiao Shaoqing, under the guidance of Meng Yan, depicted the beardless uncle who brought him.

"Xiao Qingqing, is this the person?" Meng Yan took the sketch to Xiao Shaoqing's eyes and asked.

"Yes, it's this bad guy, it's he who asked me to bring a food box to see my mother." Xiao Shaoqing said hatefully.

"Did he buy you the food?"

"Yes."

"How did you get out of the house?" Meng Yan was very strange, he had arranged for him to be taken care of in the Bai family, how could Bai Shaoqing run out of the Bai family without being discovered?

"I crawled out of the dog hole." Bai Shaoqing lowered his head, looking like he had done something wrong.

"How can you drill a dog hole for no reason?" Meng Yan asked.

"I wanted to go out to find my mother, but they didn't tell me where my mother went, and they didn't let me go out, so I drilled the dog hole......" Bai Shaoqing bowed his head embarrassedly and said.

Meng Yan smiled, several adults can't look down on a child, it's really been for nothing for so many years.

"Xiao Qingqing, my uncle asked you to live with your mother, do you say okay?" Meng Yan thought about it, Bai Shaoqing couldn't live in the Bai family alone, it was better to arrange him in the yamen, so as to protect him and avoid some people with ulterior motives from using it to do bad things.

"Really, uncle?"

"Really, my uncle is the biggest official here, and my uncle said yes, just fine." Meng Yan rubbed Bai Shaoqing's head.

Although this boy has not yet grown up mentally, he is still very smart, his family is wealthy, and he lives a life of opening his mouth for food and stretching out his hands for clothes, and he is a little more immature than ordinary children from poor families, but in the future, I am afraid that his life will be turned upside down.

"Uncle, you are ...... too"

"Bad guy, huh?" Meng Yan knew that if he said his identity, Bai Shaoqing would definitely say so.

"Uncle, did you arrest me too?"

"Silly boy, you didn't do anything wrong, how could your uncle arrest you, if you don't want to, your uncle can send you home?"

"I'm still with my mother."

"Child, you don't understand the things of adults now, your mother has to accept punishment if you do something wrong, you will understand these in the future." Meng Yan sighed, the child's simple worldview, parents are good people, and those who oppose their parents are bad people, there are some things that cannot be explained, only after they understand the reason, they will understand themselves.

"This place may not be comparable to home, do you have to think about it?"

"I thought about it, I want to be with my mother."

"Okay, uncle arranged, you can stay here, but you can only stay with your mother for two hours a day, and the rest of the time is used to read and write, okay?"

"Hmm!"

"Stay here obediently, someone will take you to the place where you live in a while, don't run around, you know?" Meng Yan instructed.

"Got it, uncle. Although you have arrested your mother, you are a good person! Bai Shaoqing said in a milky voice.

Meng Yan was speechless for a while, children's thinking, adults are sometimes really difficult to understand, but everyone has come over like this, the interesting things of childhood, when I look back on it when I grow up, don't I think it's very interesting?

Regarding Bai Shaoqing's life experience, He Wendong's confession mentioned that it may not be Bai Xinyuan's.

And Jiao Lanrong before marrying Bai Xinyuan. It's not a virgin anymore. After marrying Bai Xinyuan, he did not clean himself, and cheated with his former concubine, and gave Bai Xinyuan a big green hat.

Bai Xinyuan found out that Jiao Lanrong was cheating. I fell out with her. But because of the ugliness of the family. He chose to forbear, and in the end, he couldn't stand it, so he and his daughter moved directly to Suxinzhai. I didn't even go home, and I came out of sight.

If it is really what Wendong said, Bai Shaoqing is not the son of Bai Xinyuan, but was born to Bai Jiao's family and her concubine, then it is quite cruel to Bai Suxin, and the person she is most concerned about and most concerned about in the Bai family is only Bai Shaoqing's younger brother.

"According to this picture, find a gardener to draw a hundred copies, send them to Shuntianfu and the Terracotta Division, and find out this person immediately, this person is likely to be eunuch and failed to enter the palace, pay attention to the major Fengyue places, go quickly!"

"Whoa!"

"Are you wanted?"

"Yes, this person is suspected of instigating poisoning and murder, find him, immediately arrest him, send him to the patrol envoy's yamen, and get a heavy reward!"

"Whoa!"

"My lord, Zhang Xiaohua brought it!"

"Take it to the interrogation room, and the officer will personally interrogate him." Meng Yan gave an order and went to the interrogation room with Fan Xiping.

In the interrogation room, Meng Yan saw a panicked middle-aged man, wearing a linen cotton coat, five feet tall, although sitting on a chair, his feet kept rubbing the ground, and his expression was very nervous.

"Pour a cup of hot water and bring it in." Meng Yan ordered the guards at the door.

Seeing someone coming in, Zhang Xiaohua quickly raised her head and stood up.

"Big master, the little people are wronged!"

"Whether you are wronged or not, we will find out, and get up first to answer the official's question." Fan Xiping snorted coldly.

"Zhang Xiaohua, you get up and talk back." Meng Yan gave a faint order, walked to Zhang Xiaohua and sat down.

"Yes, yes, big man, Xiaomin will answer the big man's question truthfully."

"On the night of the eighth day of September last year, where were you and what did you do?" Meng Yan asked.

"The eighth day of September the year before last?" Hearing this date, Zhang Xiaohua's eyes involuntarily glanced upward, and her feet pulled back.

As an experienced interrogation expert and psychology expert, Meng Yan could see at a glance that this guy was going to lie next.

If a normal person thinks, his eyes will freeze, and his movements will subconsciously stop, while a person who lies, because he has to think about how to lie, will have some psychological hints unnaturally.

Of course, if it is useless for people with a certain amount of interrogation experience, ordinary people will try one by one.

"Xiaomin sleeps at home."

"Are you sure?"

"Sure, the next day is the Double Ninth Festival, how can I not remember?" Zhang Xiaohua emphasized.

"Does anyone prove it?"

"Yes, my Hun family can testify for me."

"Come on, bring Zhang Xiaohua's wife, Zhang Yue, in!" Meng Yan gave Fan Xiping a look, and Fan Xiping immediately understood, and commanded left and right.

Moments later, a middle-aged woman was brought into the interrogation room.

"The people's woman Zhang Yue's knocks to see the master!" As soon as Zhang Yueshi came in, he knelt down and said tremblingly.

"Zhang Yue, please get up!"

After Zhang Yue's family got up from the ground, Meng Yan stood up and walked over with a pleasant face and asked, "Zhang Yue's family, this official asked you, where did your husband go and what did he do on the night of the eighth day of September last year?" ”

"No, don't you know?"

"Then you sue the official, did your husband Zhang Xiaohua be at home that night?" Meng Yan continued to ask.

"No, I don't know." Zhang Yueshi secretly glanced at Zhang Xiaohua, and still replied tremblingly.

"Zhang Yue, how many years have you been married to your husband Zhang Xiaohua?"

"It's been almost twenty years."

"In the past 20 years, has your husband ever bought you any gold and silver jewelry or anything?" Meng Yan asked.

"No, no, never!"

"You lie, on the fifteenth day of September the year before last, your husband Zhang Xiaohua bought you a pair of gold bracelets, as well as earrings and rings in Baocui Building?" Since Zhang Xiaohua has been circled, Meng Yan naturally wants to conduct a thorough investigation of this Zhang Xiaohua, and in this investigation, the suspicions on Zhang Xiaohua soon emerged.

A person who is a good drinker and greedy for a cup, and also gambles, most of the wages of the work are spent on drinking and gambling, and the family can live well, but I think that the husband's unkindness, the wife and children are affected, and the wife's clothes are mended and then worn, how can there suddenly be a large amount of money to buy jewelry for the wife?

Even if his conscience finds out, if he wants to compensate his wife, he can't afford these things with Zhang Xiaohua's work.

Therefore, Zhang Xiaohua must have made a small fortune, where does the wealth come from?

"My lord, I said, I said ......" Zhang Yueshi collapsed instantly, and was so frightened that he knelt on the ground again and cried.

"Okay, Zhang Yue's family, this official will give you another chance, you are honest, this official may not be held accountable, otherwise, this official will definitely sentence you for a crime of deception!" Meng Yan shouted loudly.

"Yes, yes, that evening, someone knocked on the door, and the woman went to open the door, and a person came in, and the woman recognized that it was Ah Liu, who often brushed money with the husband of the woman, and Ah Liu said that there was something wrong with the husband of the woman, and the two of them talked for a while, and the husband of the woman followed this Ah Liu, and took away the tools for doing the work, and did not come back until the next morning, and did not eat breakfast, and fell asleep at the end......"

"Lao Fan, notify the inspection team and arrest Ah Liu immediately!" (To be continued......)
