Chapter 3: I Didn't Kill People

After educating the bear child, Luo Shuangyi didn't want to deal with Lu Huaiyu, and he didn't bother to stay in the back mountain, so he simply turned his head and left, and as soon as he entered the temple, he saw his grandmother sending someone to find her, and hurriedly greeted her.

"Grandmother, I'm here." Luo Shuangyi handed over the herbs to his subordinates, explained briefly, and saw that his grandmother's face was displeased, "Let you recite scriptures in the Buddhist hall to atone for your sins, what are you running around?" ”

"Grandmother, I have something to say to you." Luo Shuangyi glanced at the crowded Buddhist hall, pulled the old lady to a quiet place, directly bent her knees and knelt in front of her, and said solemnly: "Grandmother, I didn't kill people." The government investigated for several days, but there was no evidence, although there was a result of the father's maneuvering, but it was indeed insufficient evidence. ”

"Things have come to this point, and you still don't want to repent!" The old lady's face sank: "Where is the evidence insufficient?" Ah San once offended you, and some of the people in the house testified that you pushed him into the water late at night, and the girl in your yard also proved that you really did not ...... in the house that night."

"Grandmother, I really didn't sleep in the master bedroom that night, but I was knocked out and slept in the side room, and when I woke up the next day, I was taken away by the government before I could find out what happened. Aren't you surprised? After the incident, you clearly ordered the matter to be sealed in the mansion, and my father tried his best to deal with the matter, why did the government come so quickly? Why is the capital still in an uproar? Luo Shuangyi's methodical analysis made the old lady's face more solemn, "You want to say, someone deliberately framed you?" ”

"Grandmother, Shuangyi's sentence is true, this case is very suspicious and needs to be confirmed. Shuangyi admitted that although he had a more domineering personality before, he had never done such a heart-wrenching thing as harming people's lives. Kowtowed, "Shuangyi is wronged, please give me a chance to prove my innocence." ”

If she has been charged with murder, it really can't be cleared.

No matter how she pleases the old lady, this matter will be a knot in everyone's hearts, and if Luo Yingxue provokes a little in the future, she will become the target of public criticism.

The old lady looked at her for a long time, but did not let her get up: "Okay, I will give you a chance to prove yourself, if you are really innocent, I will go and talk to your father about lifting your grounding." ”

Luo Shuangyi said gratefully: "Thank you, grandmother, I won't let you down." ”

After returning home, Luo Shuangyi immediately asked the housekeeper to come over and inquire about the address of the person involved.

Ah San was originally a subordinate of Wushuang Courtyard, but because he recklessly splashed the original owner's body with water, he was punished by the original owner with more than a dozen boards, which can be regarded as a grudge.

So on the night of the incident, Ding Dahu, who was in the same house, claimed that he saw Luo Shuangyi push Ah San into the water and drown, and Liuli, the night watchman of Wushuang Courtyard, also confirmed that Luo Shuangyi had been out for half an hour that night, which confirmed Luo Shuangyi's murder charge.

But if you go through it carefully, there is no clear physical evidence for this matter, and the human evidence can be real or false, and there are too many loopholes that can be drilled.

Luo Shuangyi inquired about the situation of the three of them, and the housekeeper said: "Ah San also has a seriously ill brother in the family, as well as a money-hungry sister-in-law, after Ah San died, the body was taken back by the family to hurriedly handle it, and the couple left the capital, and Dahu and Liuli were sent away by Lord Luo because they testified." ”

Luo Shuangyi took out some silver and gave it to the housekeeper: "Please help me find these people, I want to meet them in person." ”

The old housekeeper Uncle Zhou is an old man who follows Lord Luo, and since he was a child, he has watched Lord Luo and the old lady spoil this concubine lawlessly, and his personality has become more and more annoying, and he originally didn't like it.

But now that he has received the order of the old lady, and seeing that Luo Shuangyi has almost changed into a person, he is humble and polite, and his heart is also more comfortable: "Don't worry, eldest lady, if you are wronged, the old slave will never tolerate the troublemakers." ”

"I've done my job." Luo Shuangyi smiled, yawned and suddenly said, "I'm sick these days, and I've been grounded by my father, so let's look at the account book when I'm bored, I was too lazy to take care of the accounts myself, and I betrayed my father's trust, and I have to change it in the future." ”

The housekeeper was pleased: "Don't worry, the eldest lady, the old slave will send someone to send the account book later." ”

The housekeeper left the Wushuang Courtyard with his front foot, and the news came to Luo Yingxue with his back foot.

"Miss, Dahu and Liuli have returned to their hometown outside the city, it's not difficult for the eldest lady to find the past, what should we do now?" Midsummer is Luo Yingxue's confidant, although she is only seventeen or eighteen years old, and she looks gentle and virtuous, but in fact, because the master and servant have been oppressed by the Wushuang Courtyard for a long time, her heart is distorted enough.

She finally waited for her master to rise up, she was used to living a good life these days, and she admired Luo Yingxue so much that she felt that everything she did was right, even if it was a lack of virtue of killing people and setting fires, it was for revenge, and it was just revenge.

Luo Yingxue didn't look anxious at all, drew her eyebrows in the mirror, and said lightly: "Since she wants to overturn the case, let's help her." ”

Midsummer was puzzled: "Help her?" ”

"In the end, it was the granddaughter of the old lady who had been hurting for so many years, but she was soft-hearted when she let Luo Shuangyi accompany her to the second incense. Hehe, what would happen if she disappointed the old lady again and again? Luo Yingxue nodded a little rouge, her lips were even more red and her teeth were white, and her smile was as gentle as water, "This time, I want Luo Shuangyi to have no place to turn over." ”

Sheng Xia looked at her picturesque eyebrows and eyes, and shivered for no reason.

Three days later, it soon came the day that Luo Shuangyi had agreed with the old lady.

When Lord Luo went to the court, everyone in the house went to the front yard, and the old lady sat under the eaves with a serious face, holding a string of Buddhist beads in her hand, and reading something with her eyes closed.

Luo Yingxue is dressed in a blue dress, serving sensibly on the side, even if she adds tea and water, she is cautious, and she will not make a trace of superfluous movement.

Tables, chairs and benches were temporarily set up in the corridor, and according to Luo Shuangyi's request, the case was tried openly in the mansion.

A man and a woman knelt on the ground, bowing their heads and listening to the discussion of the crowd for a while.

"Grandmother, after three days of investigation, the witnesses in this case, Da Hu and Liuli, have signed a crime certificate to confirm that the so-called murder that night is not true."

Luo Shuangyi is dressed in white and has black hair today, does not use powder, and is dressed up exceptionally plain, but she has a good foundation, and when she stands in the crowd, she is still a jade-like wonderful person.

She took the confession of the two people and handed it to the old lady, "This confession was written by Uncle Zhou when he accompanied me to interrogate the two, and Dahu made it clear that it was too dark that night, and he didn't see the face of the person who pushed Ah San into the water, and the reason why he insisted that the murderer was me was because of the purple blue peacock feather dress." ”

Seeing that everyone's discussion was getting louder, Luo Shuangyi paused for a moment before saying, "But that purple orchid peacock feather dress was given by my grandmother, and my granddaughter has always been reluctant to wear it on weekdays, and only wore it once when I accompanied you into the palace, that night in my memory, I have always slept in Wushuang Courtyard, but that night seemed to sleep exceptionally dead, Liuli did not see me in the room that day, not that I went out, but I was stunned and put in the guest room." I checked in the past few days and found that I had left a hosta in the guest room that night. ”

Luo Yingxue frowned, "These two people are too bad!" What kind of hatred do they have with their sister to put the murder on their sister? Let's not talk about the big tiger, Liuli grew up with her sister since she was a child, and she is the most trusted person around her. ”

The old lady stopped turning the Buddha beads, opened her eyes and looked down, and said coldly: "So, all this is the ghost of these two subordinates?" ”

"Old lady Mingjian, we were forced."

Dahu is in his thirties, with a black waist on the back of a tiger, and is a roommate of Ah San, and he is also a witness to the case.

Hearing this, he immediately climbed a few steps and shouted, "The eldest lady brought a large group of people to the slave's house in a fierce manner, and the slave's family was so scared that everyone in the slave's family avoided it, if the slave didn't lie according to the eldest lady's words, the slave's family would be gone." ”

Liuli was in her twentieth year, a pink dress was torn by her, her little face was pretty, and at this time, she was frightened and scared, and crawled in front of Luo Shuangyi with tears in her eyes, hugged her legs and said, "Miss, the slave also wants to help you lie." But Ah San's death is so miserable, I really can't stand it, the slave and maid tell the truth for your own good, I hope you can reform in the future, don't do this murderous and arsonous thing again. ”

Luo Yingxue's eyes widened in surprise: "Sister, didn't you say that these are all witnesses to your innocence?" What the hell is going on? ”

Luo Shuangyi glanced at her lightly: "Is my sister a wall grass?" Wherever the wind blows, you fall? Do you believe my sister, or are you talking nonsense from two slaves! ”

Luo Yingxue secretly hated in her heart, she was so arrogant when she was in trouble, and said aggrievedly on her face: "I naturally believe in my sister, but people are terrible ......"

The old lady didn't rush to make up her mind, but frowned and glanced at the two of them, "You two talk so repeatedly, how can you win people's trust?" ”

The two looked at each other and cried even more miserably: "Old lady, we are humble, and we were really violently coerced by the eldest lady before, so we had to sign the so-called confession as a last resort......"

"Really? At that time, Uncle Zhou accompanied me to collect evidence, but I didn't see that the two of you were reluctant, didn't you also cry bitterly and promise me that you would come back to testify for me and return my innocence? ”

Luo Shuangyi walked up to the old lady, tore up the confession, took out a stack of bills from his arms, and sneered, "I knew that you had listened to the words of the mastermind behind the scenes, and on the surface obedience made me lower my vigilance, but secretly I would have beaten me up, if I didn't keep a hand, wouldn't I be at your mercy today?" ”

Luo Yingxue and the two people's faces changed, and the scene suddenly fell into a dead silence.

The subordinates didn't dare to speak, and watched the old lady unfold the bill and take a look, her face suddenly sank, and she raised her hand and slapped it in front of Luo Yingxue, "These, what's going on?" ”

Luo Yingxue pretended to be innocent: "Grandmother, what's wrong?" She looked at the bill in a panic, and immediately fell to her knees, and her eyes were red when she looked up, "Grandmother Mingjian, I didn't ...... I didn't buy them with money. ”

"Luo Yingxue, the notarization of your capital transactions is in front of you, and you still don't repent?" Luo Shuangyi said coldly, "Do you think I'm grounded, so I don't know about your small actions in private?" Don't forget, I'm still in charge of the royal treasury, so I can find out all the expenses in your name! This bill has your signature and seal on it, and the money spent from the palace is lying in the house of those two people at this time, and Uncle Zhou went with me at that time, called collecting evidence, in fact, to investigate the whereabouts of the silver. ”

Uncle Zhou also took a step forward and nodded at the old lady: "Indeed, as the eldest lady said, the old slave went to several money houses to investigate the exchange of big tiger and glass for the silver ticket, and there is indeed the seal of the Luo Wangfu on it, and the exchanged silver is hidden in their house." ”

The old lady's face was so black that she could drip ink, her breathing couldn't help but become heavy, and she knocked heavily on the wooden board of the table: "Luo Yingxue, you are confused!" ”

"Grandmother! I just sent the silver ticket over so that they would not be oppressed by the powerful and tell the truth. Luo Yingxue knelt over and hugged her leg and cried bitterly, "I just, I just want my sister to suffer a little." I don't know if she killed Ah San......"

Luo Shuangyi stepped forward and pinched her chin, and said with a cold face: "It's better to be cunning than to be honest, Ah San fell into the water and died, there is no so-called human and physical evidence at all, you are trying to frame me, so you created this evidence." You used the silver to buy Dahu and Liuli, even if I brought people to the door, they lied and falsely accused the master, and they didn't dare to admit their guilt easily, I wouldn't have gotten the evidence of the mastermind behind the scenes, and you personally gave me this bill. ”

Luo Yingxue opened her mouth, her heart flashed with ruthlessness, and she suddenly threw herself into her arms and cried bitterly: "Sister, I'm sorry, I just hate you for bullying me in the past, I was forced to hang myself by you a month ago, and I couldn't swallow this breath, so I was confused and did something wrong for a while......"

In a few words, the focus was blurred, although the old lady and the subordinates disagreed, but when they thought of what Luo Shuangyi had done in the past, they were sympathetic to Luo Yingxue.

"Sage Cloud: Words must be honest, deeds must be loyal. Only you know whether what you say is true or false, and I can ignore it, but what about you? ”

Luo Shuangyi looked at her eyes, as if she was a stumbling girl in school, "People are real, although they are sparse, they must be dense; With others, although relatives must be sparse. You were able to frame me this time, relying on the trust of your grandmother and father, and the sympathy and pity of your subordinates, but if this goes on for a long time, who will dare to believe your words and actions? ”

Luo Shuangyi quoted scriptures and swore an oath, "Be honest and kind, don't need to make a statement, don't need to have a thought, just rely on sincerity and sincerity to go, for a long time, you have your own unspoken faith, tacit success, today's lesson, I hope you will remember it in your heart, the grievances between the two of us will be written off, and don't let people down in the future." ”

"Sister......" Luo Yingxue howled, crying more and more desolately, distressing, as if she knew her mistakes and changed her posture of repentance.

Seeing this, the old lady frowned and looked at this granddaughter with admiration: "Shuangyi, you have finally grown up." ”
