Huo Yixiao returned to the courtyard of the main house, and at a glance saw Li Zhifu standing with his hands behind his back.

The master and the lady whispered something to him, and there was a trembling mother-in-law standing not far away.

Yin Lei came over and said, "Master, the master and the Ruan prefect and Wen Tongzhi are having tea in the East Chamber." ”

Huo Yixiao bowed his head, glanced at Governor Li's mansion, and said in his heart that this adult would still be able to do things.

There are several ancestors of the Li family who have been officials in the court, but they have stopped at five or six grades, leaving no foundation.

Governor Li was able to sit firmly in the position of the prefect of the old capital Lin'an in the year of confusion, and it was impossible to be a straw bag.

Misjudgment, delusions, and mud before, Wen Yan was put on the table, and now, as Huo Yixiao said just now, Governor Li must seize the opportunity to act quickly.

Let Lord Huo settle down to eat tea, and set aside the stage to play by himself, at the same time, before the case is decided, he can only question Ruan Zhi, but he can't really treat people as prisoners, just right, and Wen Zifu, who is inconvenient to get involved in this case, accompany Lord Huo to eat tea.

Huo Yixiao stepped forward and said, "It's hard work, Lord Li, you have to hurry up on this matter, there are still a bunch of official affairs in the yamen, you can't let a few adults eat tea all the time, right?" ”

Governor Li smiled: "I have some eyebrows, virtuous nephew, it's cold outside, why don't you go to the East Wing to sit for a while?" ”

Seeing that he was so confident, Huo Yixiao raised his eyebrows slightly, laughed, took two steps to the side, leaned against the railing of the verandah, and did not move.

Governor Li only thought that he wanted to listen, so he cheered up and called the mother-in-law to interrogate carefully.

After asking, the effect was good, and he looked back excitedly......

Then, crying and laughing turned back.

The one on the side, where is he listening, people are holding their hands on their chests, lowering their heads and closing their eyes, eighty percent of them are recuperating.

That's it, the case turned out to speak.

With all his might, Governor Li quickly handed over the case file to Huo Huaiding, and then, he looked at Ruan Zhi with a solemn face, sighed and shook his head.

"Brother, brother, why are you bothering!" Li Zhifu said, "You also know the rules in the yamen, do you explain it yourself, or let me ask slowly." ”

Ruan Zhi's face became more and more ugly: "What does Master Li mean by this?" What did I do? ”

"What do you do, don't you know?" Governor Li asked rhetorically, "You honestly admit that Master Huo is here, you are happy, and Lord Huo will also give you a good time."

It's not about you, it's really evidence, you didn't wipe the floor in the middle of the night, and there was a small mud mark under the floor cover, you leaked it!

The younger sibling did not die in the pool, she died in the wooden barrel where the clean room bathed, and there were a few small scratches in the barrel that were left by her fingernails as she struggled.

If I keep talking, I just won't give you a chance to confess, don't say that I didn't pull you, brother, think about it. ”

Huo Yixiao was about to come in, and when he heard this, he said that Master Li's ability to learn and sell now is also quite good.

And with Governor Li's words, Ruan Zhi's tense body suddenly softened.

He leaned back in his chair, raised his hand over his eyes, and shook his head with a sigh.

"I didn't mean to kill her...... Ruan Zhi's hand kept trembling, and what trembled even more was his voice, "It's really not ...... on purpose"

He has been an official for many years, knows the laws of the imperial court, and knows what the result of killing is.

But it was precisely because he knew the rules and means of the yamen that he knew that he couldn't hide it.

There will inevitably be traces of the crime, and he is not planning to commit the crime, as long as the yamen carefully investigates, the flaws will appear one after another.

There are already some now, he doesn't recognize it at this time, and then he has to admit it.

"I finally got the official position I have today, how can I destroy my future?" Ruan Zhi said, "They all say that marrying a wife and marrying a virtuous person, my family is this, hey, ......"

Nguyen Tran is not a good wife, and the struggle with her mother-in-law has not stopped since she got married.

Ruan's mother is not easy to mess with, and she has a set of methods to pinch her daughter-in-law, Ruan Chen's family has suffered a lot, but it is a pity that she does not live long enough, and Ruan left after seven years of marriage.

The backyard was all at once.

There is no one to make trouble, so what is there to make trouble?

Ruan Zhi breathed a sigh of relief until Wen Yuan married in.

"I asked her to be polite to my daughter-in-law, and she always said that my mother had never been polite to her back then," Ruan Zhi smiled bitterly, "I'm just in office, she made trouble with her son and daughter-in-law about to reconcile and separate, and she didn't feel wrong."

I said her again last night, only I went to the Wen family to apologize, it was of little use, I had to go to her, she said some soft words to her in-laws and Cheng's daughter-in-law, but she couldn't listen.

In the middle of the night, I got up a little bit at night, and I was arguing with her, and she chased into the clean room and didn't let go of arguing with me......

My head was blank, and by the time I came to my senses, she had been pinned into the bucket by me, out of breath.

I didn't want to, but, that's what it is. ”

Governor Li asked, "So you got her into the pool?" ”

"Yes," Ruan Zhi said, "it happened to be raining at the time, and there was no one patrolling the backyard, so I hurriedly threw her in and came back to clean up, but I wiped the floor and shoes, but there was still a ...... Doing evil is not the right way, although it is a mistake to kill, but it is also a life, the rain does not fall sooner or later, but at that time it will stop after two quarters of an hour, this is the will of God. ”

If it was dawn and the yard was muddy, the servants would pick up Ruan Chen's and send it to the house, and a group of people would go in and out, and the footprints on the ground would not arouse suspicion.

Ruan Zhi was taken out, and Ruan Mengcheng chased after him, but was stopped by the officials.

"Master Huo," Ruan Zhi looked at Huo Huaiding, his eyes were full of tears, "I really didn't want to kill her, but I really ...... her temperament and mouth."

"You didn't come up with that?"

Someone on the side said this, Ruan Zhi saw that it was Huo Yixiao.

Huo Yixiao said: "The Xia family has fallen, it's useless to marry the eldest girl of the Wen family, isn't this your idea?"

Don't you think it's a loss-making business, and your wife and son can bully people like that?

Mrs. Hou's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had an accident, and she opened her mouth to say that her daughter-in-law killed her mother-in-law, isn't the picture just that after the divorce of your wife, your Ruan family will marry a useful family affair?

It's a pity that the murderer who stabbed Mrs. Ding'an Hou has been caught, and you think that the Wen family is profitable again, and you want to sue for peace. ”

"No......" Ruan Zhi trembled and trembled.

"You don't have to deny it, this is what you think," Huo Yixiao interrupted him, "You said that you couldn't control your wife at the beginning, and you can't control it now, what about your son?"

If only my son would have listened to you honestly, he would not have been like this.

So, Lord Ruan, the person has been killed, don't put all the sins on the head of the dead, what kind of character and what mouth does she have, what cause and what effect do you have. ”

Ruan Zhi was discouraged, and looked at Ruan Mengcheng, who was stunned, his mouth moved, and he didn't say anything in the end.

On the side, Yin Lei understood it before and after, and nodded with deep understanding.

That's probably a rule of thumb.
