Hua Jingyao sighed silently.

Four days ago, when she heard Shi Yi talk about the Liu family and her son forcing Chen Niangzi to retreat, she also praised the Liu family for being calm and methodical. Now that I think about it, the Liu family had already seen the twins at that time, and I am afraid that only the Liu family herself knew what kind of mood she was in to help her husband deal with this troublesome matter.

Is it like when I saw those socks many years ago, I was convinced that it was a misunderstanding, and I silently responded at the same time?

Or is it like Chen Wenchao who dislikes her background after being admitted to the promotion, she does everything possible to cater to her grievances, and at the same time uses her own money to maintain her husband's elegant and noble life?

It's both, at this moment, Hua Jingyao knew that she asked Shi Yi to persuade the Liu family to come, this move was the right move, but at the same time, she also tore open the last layer of cover in Liu's heart.

Hua Jingyao didn't know if she was doing the right thing, in her previous life and in this life, she had never married anyone, and her sister married in her previous life, but she took everything with herself.

For the Liu family, Hua Jingyao couldn't empathize, but for this case, for Chen Niangzi who was built in the kang cave, Hua Jingyao felt that she had done nothing wrong.

She looked at Ryu, and Ryu was looking at her.

Hua Jingyao nodded at the Liu clan and asked softly, "Have you asked Chen Wenchao about this?" “

Liu laughed self-deprecatingly, and said: "I asked him that night, and he flatly denied it, so I took out this deed, of course, this is a transcription, and the real one is in Tongzhou, and it is kept by the head of the Liu family." ”

As she spoke, she held the deed high with both hands, and one of them took it and presented it to Zhao Zhen.

Speaking of this, Liu glared at Chen Wenchao: "The reason why I came here is because I don't believe that you will be so ruthless that you will not even let go of the woman who gave birth to a son for you, so I want to see it with my own eyes." ”

"Wicked woman! Chen is unfortunate to marry you, a wicked woman, from a humble background, and a lowly person, with a vicious mind, I want to divorce you, divorce you! Chen Wenchao was in a hurry, he came prepared, and he was also at ease when he faced several other witnesses just now, but he never expected that it would be the Liu family who gave him the fatal blow!

"Chen Wenchao, according to this deed, not only do you have no right to divorce your wife, but if your children are young, you will have your wife die and leave home." Zhao Zhen slapped the deed on the table of the Eight Immortals and looked at Chen Wenchao with a smile.

After the death of the wife, if the children are not able to hold up the door, the family property must be returned to the wife's family, and the son-in-law will leave the door.

Although the Great Zhou Dynasty did not have clear provisions in the law, but the son-in-law died in his wife and children, and was thrown out of the house from time to time.

Chen Wenchao gritted his teeth and did not answer Zhao Zhen's words, but pointed at Liu's nose and scolded: "Wicked woman, you and your lowly father have been premeditated, premeditated!" ”

In the face of his accusation, Liu Shi smiled coldly: "If it weren't for this deed, maybe I would have died long before Mrs. Chen, how could Uncle Wang suddenly fall to his death, it was he who found out that you hooked up with Mrs. Chen, so you killed people, wasn't it?" ”

Chen Wenchao froze for a moment, looking at Liu in a daze, in front of him was his wife of more than ten years, but he seemed to see her for the first time.

But the Liu family didn't want to look at Chen Wenchao anymore, she covered her body and kowtowed, and then said to Zhao Zhen: "The little woman has said everything, my Liu family deceived the official media, and asked the government to punish it impartially." ”

Zhao Zhen bowed slightly, and said to Qin Wei, who was sitting at the bottom: "Send an official document to the Tongzhou Yamen, and ask them to investigate the Liu family's recruitment in the past." ”

Zhao Zhen said to the Liu family again: "This case will be handed over to the Tongzhou Yamen for another case, and your mother and son should step back first." ”

At this time, several arresters escorted a person into the door, and the landlord who was still watching the excitement at the door of the stove room recognized it at a glance, and shouted loudly: "This is Chen Hong, and this yard is what he rented from me." ”

Seeing Chen Hong, Chen Wenchao's last hope was completely shattered, and he fell to the ground with a pop.

Chen Hong is not called Chen Hong, his name is Chen Xiaofu, he is one of the two small servants that Chen Wenchao bought when he was in Henan, and he has been by Chen Wenchao's side all these years.

When Chen Xiaofu saw Chen Wenchao, he knew that something must have happened. He has been hiding in a small inn outside the city for the past three days, but he didn't expect to be caught.

Chen Xiaofu confessed that long before Chen Niangzi found Zhelu Lane, he had seen Chen Niangzi at the temple fair outside Guangji Temple.

It's just that after a few years, Mrs. Chen has long since changed from the beautiful twenty-eight girl to a haggard woman, and he is not sure if the person he saw is Mrs. Chen.

After he told Chen Wenchao about this, the next day, Chen Wenchao asked him to rent a separate courtyard in this neighborhood.

He thought that Chen Wenchao wanted to hide Jiaojiao in the golden house, but he didn't expect that just three days ago, Chen Wenchao gave him a hundred taels of silver and asked him to leave the capital to live for a few days, he guessed that something might have happened, and felt that one hundred taels of silver was too little, so he wanted to come to Chen Wenchao in a few days to ask for more, so he didn't go far, and stayed in a small inn outside the city, originally thinking that he would come back today to ask the master for money, but before he entered the city, he met Liu Dali, who was also on an errand in the house, Liu Dali was with the people in the yamen, and he pointed at him and yelled, Before he could react, two trappers pounced and arrested him.

At this point, whether Chen Wenchao confessed or not, the evidence has been conclusive.

As a modest and fair prince, Zhao Zhen would not torture to extract confessions, so he asked Yin Zhutou to bring Chen Wenchao into the hall.

A moment later, Yin Zhutou came out with Chen Wenchao's signed confession, and Zhao Zhen looked at Yin Zhutou's black face and felt very satisfied.

Outside the gate, Sting's loud voice came: "The great prince is wise, the great prince is wise!" ”

The people immediately reacted, and the sentences of "the prince is wise" came and went.

It was the first time Zhao Zhen had encountered such a scene, he didn't know what to do for a while, and couldn't help but look at Hua Jingyao who was standing aside, Hua Jingyao grinned at him: "Just let Lord Qin say a few words for you, just continue to be noble and cold." ”

Zhao Zhen was in a hurry, yes, it was his cousin who solved the case, Luo Jiong was the autopsy, and it was Yin Zhutou who arrested the person, and he just tried the case, what was he excited about.

"Xiao Qin, tell the people for me, the saint loves the people like a son, and the people of the Great Zhou can live and work in peace and contentment, and I am the prince,

It is my responsibility to uphold justice and ensure the safety of one party. Zhao Zhen said.

Qin Wei cracked his mouth, where did you say it to the people, it was clearly said to the emperor.

At this time, Luo Yanzuo, who had no chance to testify during the entire trial process, jumped out and said to Hua Jingyao: "Miss Hua, this case is so wonderful, so wonderful. ”

Hearing this, Zhao Zhen was puzzled and asked: "Luo Jiong, you have to be more detailed, what is the magic of such a murderous case?" ”

Luo Cheng's eyebrows fluttered: "Your Highness, give it a try, turn this case upside down and take a look, and see if this case can be solved so easily?" ”

Zhao Zhen frowned and muttered, "Turn it upside down...... Oh, the corpse is hidden in the kang cave, and that room has been uninhabited for a long time, it is summer, and there is no need to burn the kang, so even if someone lives in it and finds that the kang hole has been built, they may not be in a hurry to smash it open, then it is likely that they can wait until winter when the kang is burned to find the corpse inside. ”

"yes, but that's half a year later. There were only three pieces of corpse, but no head, and even if a body was found, it would be impossible to determine whose body it was. And the place where the body was found was not the scene of the murder, after half a year, the axe hidden in the water tank may have been thrown away, even if it is a raccoon brother, he may not be able to smell blood. Luo said.

Zhao Zhen nodded: "At that time, the two courtyards will not be connected, and the yamen will also go to investigate the Hao steward and the incense making workshop that rented the courtyard, but it will not find out Chen Hong's head." Even if Chen Hong is found, and he uses a fake name, there is a vast sea of people, where to find this person. If you can't find Chen Hong, you can't find Chen Wenchao, even if the body is found, this case is a case of not knowing the deceased, let alone the murderer, there are many such deaths in Shuntian Mansion. ”

Hua Jingyao sighed and said: "Not only that, but the most pitiful thing is Mrs. Chen, she has no relatives and no reason in the capital, her two sons are too young, she disappeared for no reason, and outsiders will say that she left her children and ran away, and she has to bear infamy under Jiuquan." ”

Zhao Zhen and Luo Chengzuo also remembered Chen Niangzi, and the two of them also sighed.

At this time, several officials pushed Chen Wenchao, who was in chains, out of the hall, and Chen Wenchao faltered, obviously having been tortured just now.

Liu Shi walked over with the support of her two sons, and she looked at Chen Wenchao with a cold gaze.

Chen Wenchao sneered at the corner of his mouth: "Jealous woman, if you hadn't taken out the deed to threaten me, how would I have killed someone, that is the woman who gave birth to children for me, she was harmed by you, I am also harmed by you, we will turn into ghosts, and we will not let you go!" ”

Liu's face was calm, and he said word by word: "I will take my two sons back to Tongzhou, ask the clan elders to call the shots, and record them in the Liu family tree, from now on, they are my sons, and they have nothing to do with you." ”

"You forced me, it's you!" Chen Wenchao struggled to pounce on the Liu clan and was held down by two officials.

Liu Shi looked at his two sons and said, "Let's go." ”

The two teenagers helped their mother and walked towards the gate.

"Two sons, wait a minute." Hua Jingyao shouted.

The two teenagers turned around and looked at Hua Jingyao in unison.

Hua Jingyao asked, "...... the two children left by Mrs. Chen?"

The young boy looked at his elder brother, who peeked at his mother, bit his lip, and said to Hua Jingyao: "We have to follow our mother back to Tongzhou and return to our ancestors, and we will have nothing to do with them in the future." ”

This is also expected by Hua Jingyao, the Liu family is a character who is decisive and decisive, how could she raise the children born to Chen Wenchao and other women, the reason why she asked this question is because they are the only relatives of the two children.

"yes, okay." Hua Jingyao nodded.

When the mother and son walked away, Luo Yan couldn't help but shake his head: "Liangbo, these two sons of Chen Wenchao are as unkind as him." Miss Hua, if you ask this more, they will break it off when they tell their father, let alone the two younger brothers who have never met. Poor Naliu, married a loving husband and gave birth to two unrighteous sons. ”

Hua Jingyao smiled and said: "I think that Liu is a powerful person, she is rich, she is ruthless enough, and she is decisive enough to do things, plus there is a filial piety on the top, these two sons will only be more filial and obedient than before, and they will not be used for her." ”

Luo Yanzuo thought for a while and said, "That's the same." ”

Hua Jingyao looked up at the sky and said to the eldest prince: "Your Highness, it's not early, let's go to Guangji Temple, I don't know if the third princess came out of the back mountain." ”

Hearing her mention the third princess, Zhao Zhen remembered that he had said that he would go to Guangji Temple together, and said to Luo Qizuo and Yin Zhutou: "The rest will be handed over to you." ”

When everyone walked far away from the incense alley, they could still hear the people's loud voices "The great prince is benevolent, the great prince is virtuous, the great prince is a thousand years old!" ”

Different from the hustle and bustle outside, Guangji Temple is quiet and peaceful.

The eldest princess and the third princess of Zhaoyang are all in the temple, although there is nothing to see outside the temple, but stepping into the temple, every few steps, you can see a Jin Wuwei in civilian clothes, it is evening at this time, there are no pilgrims in the temple, Hua Jingyao asked the little fox to see the two children, and he accompanied the eldest prince to the squatter where the eldest princess of Zhaoyang temporarily lived.

As soon as she entered the courtyard, Qingchun led the third princess to greet her, seeing the third princess, Hua Jingyao was surprised and delighted, and stretched out her hand to hug her, the third princess did not say that she was a bad person like before, but went around to Zhao Chen's side, hugged Zhao Zhen's thigh, and looked at Hua Jingyao with her little head.

Qingchun looked embarrassed and said to Hua Jingyao: "Girl, don't blame, the princess has just recovered from a serious illness, and she will be fine in a few days." ”

Hua Jingyao smiled: "It's okay, it's okay, I can wait." ”

Of course she can wait, in her last life, she waited in the palace for three years, and in this life, she and her sister have just started, and she still has a lifetime to wait.

Zhao Zhen and this sister are not very familiar with each other, if it weren't for the fact that the third princess was frightened by what he said, he might not remember that there is still this sister.

Suddenly being hugged by his sister on his thigh, he was a little uncomfortable and a little embarrassed, stretched out his hand, and touched the head of the third princess very stiffly: "Jiahui, don't be afraid." ”

Then, he asked Qingchun again: "How is Jiahui's illness?" ”

Qingchun said with a smile: "The monk said that the third princess is a person with a great opportunity, Your Highness, you see, the third princess doesn't cry or make trouble, it's already good, it's all right." ”

Big chance?

Hua Jingyao asked, "Isn't it soul disease?" ”

"No, the monk said that the third princess is too weak and not sick." From yesterday to now, it was the first time Hua Jingyao had seen Qingchun smile so easily, she was the one who had been following the third princess, it seemed that the old monk who lived in the back mountain did say so.

Hua Jingyao also put her mind at ease, as long as the old monk didn't blast away her sister's soul.
