"The old slave is the steward of the Qiao family when the old lady is there, and the old lady asks the old slave to do anything important...... "The old man standing in the hall has already turned gray, and sighed deeply, "A lot of things have happened in the Qiao family in the past two or three years, and everyone knows it." ”

There was a sigh in the hall, and some of the older ones also remembered what happened in the Qiao family in the past two or three years. The second lady of the Qiao family became pregnant without getting married and was abandoned, the second elder of the Qiao family swallowed this bitter fruit, and then the child was born, oh, it was the Miss Qiao standing in the hall. This is a big ugly thing, but fortunately, the second elder of the Qiao family did not sink Miss Qiao Er in anger like some parents, and Miss Qiao Er stayed with the child. originally thought that life would pass like this, after all, the Qiao family could still afford to raise a child.

When the kid reached the age of two, strange things began to happen in the family. First of all, the biological mother, Miss Qiao Er, was seriously ill and died, and then Mrs. Qiao, who had always been kind, was furious about this and sent the child to Qiao's village to be raised. As a result, within a few years of hard work, even Old Lady Qiao died of illness. Then Master Qiao, who was in charge, hated this child and wanted to sink this "scourge" into the pond. In the end, it was Miss Qiao, who married into the Fang family, who took the child away, and for this reason, she had a quarrel with the elder brother of Master Qiao, and she didn't move for many years. It wasn't until the sticks in front of the Fang Cai Mansion faced each other that it was the first time in so many years that they walked around.

"Half a year before the old lady died of illness, the old lady asked the old slave to do something," the old man sighed and glanced at the old man Qiao who was standing aside, "Tell the old slave to go to Gusu to check on the affairs of the Zhao family." ”

The Zhao family? Master Qiao's wife is surnamed Zhao!

Master Qiao frowned: "Uncle Yougen, what does this matter have to do with Qianniang?" ”

"Madame's maiden name is Zhao, and her father was a clerk in Gusu County, but he died of a serious illness, leaving only two brothers and sisters in the family." The old man sighed, "Zhao Wen is the eldest son of Master Zhao, he has been good at calligraphy and painting since he was a child, there are not a few people in Gusu who have seen Zhao Wen, and now Zhao Wen is the eldest son of that Master Zhao, which countless people can testify to, and it can't be faked." ”

Master Qiao snorted coldly: "Since Uncle can't do it, what if Uncle Yougen says this?" ”

The old man looked at him and bowed slightly: "This matter is also the fault of the old slave, the old slave is the same as the old man thinks, Zhao Wen can't be fake, so the lady should not be fake, so as to report the old lady like this." ”

Master Qiao opened his mouth and wanted to speak, but he heard the shocking sound in the hall again: "Qiao Zhengyuan, don't disturb the court!" ”

This Master Qiao has too many words, can't he let people testify to the end? Zhen Shiyuan frowned.

"The old lady listened to the old slave's report and never investigated the affairs of the Zhao family again, but soon after he became seriously ill and died." The old man sighed and wept secretly, "It was the old slave who killed the old lady!" ”

How can you find out about the Zhao family and kill the old lady? The people in the hall were confused.

"Because now this lady is a fake!" The old man raised his head suddenly, his expression excited, "The real Miss Zhao Qian of the Zhao family has already fallen into the water and died many years ago!" ”

Hearing this, Qiao Ran saluted Zhen Shiyuan and said, "Please ask Master Zhen to pass on Mama Zhou!" ”

Zhen Shiyuan was shocked: "Biography!" ”

After a short time, the official brought a woman from the back office.

Master Qiao was stunned at first when he saw the woman, and then suddenly said: "I remember you, you seem to have been my uncle's nurse!" ”

The woman saluted him and said, "Master Qiao is right, the folk woman is not only the uncle's nurse but also the lady's nurse. ”

Qiao Ran said: "Mama Zhou, where is Miss Zhao Qian of the Zhao family now?" ”

The woman glanced up at Master Qiao, and suddenly sighed lowly, and then said, "Miss fell into the water in the lotus pond in Fuzhong twenty years ago and died. ”

In other words, the real Miss Zhao Qian, Zhao Qian, is dead! So who is this Mrs. Qiao now? There was an uproar in the hall.

Zhen Shiyuan knocked on the startling wood, and waited until the discussion in the hall was quieter before he spoke: "What evidence do you have?" ”

The woman sighed and said, "Many people in Gusu know that my young lady has been weak since she was a child, and she has been constantly decoction...... The bones were buried in the lotus pond of the old house of the Zhao family, and before coming, the Gusu County Ya had taken the bones, and the autopsy document was known at a glance. "The corpses of people who take decoction medicine all year round are different from ordinary people, especially those who have more teeth are not very good.

"It's ridiculous!" Master Qiao sneered, "Will my uncle still recognize his sister-in-law?" ”

The woman sighed again, and said: "When Miss was young, she fell from the rockery and broke her leg when she was playing with the young lady of the Gusu Wang family. "There were cracks on the right leg of the corpse.

The girl standing in the hall smiled, her expression calm.

Of course, she came prepared, and now the autopsy documents brought by the Gusu County Ya and the testimony of the county magistrate's wife are placed in front of Zhen Shiyuan.

Zhen Shiyuan asked people to pass the autopsy document and the testimony of Mrs. County Ling to Master Qiao for inspection.

Master Qiao's face trembled, and after a while, he raised his head and said, "What if Mrs. is not Miss Zhao?" That's also Qiao's wife, what does this have to do with what I want to say today? ”

"Master Qiao, aren't you curious about who your lady is now?" The girl's voice rang out, and as she spoke, her gaze turned to another old man in the hall, "This third lady of the Qiao family may know." ”

This is the clan elder who came from Gusu to "rescue" Qiao Mo.

The old man's eyes rolled, and he looked weak.

Two officials carried a suitcase to the court.

Qiao Ran reached out and opened the box, and there was another uproar in the hall. Eighteen amber glass cups sit in it, shining in the sunlight.

What a treasure!

"This is ......," Master Qiao was shocked.

"Twenty years ago, when Master Qiao was married, Qiao's family carried a hundred dowry from Jinling to Gusu, but on the night of Gusu, a set of priceless amber glass cups was stolen and stolen. At that time, this matter also alarmed the officials of Jinling and Gusu, and it took a whole month to investigate, and the Qiao and Zhao families did not add anything before the matter was revealed. The girl's words were clear and her voice was soft, and she seemed to have a surprising magic when she spoke, which also quieted the somewhat noisy court.

"Master Qiao, is there such a thing?" This matter was also recorded in the case book of the government office, and it cannot be faked.

Master Qiao nodded.

"I heard that Master Qiao has the insight of double treasure appreciation, so can you see if this is the stolen amber glass cup?" Qiao Ran asked again.

Master Qiao picked up one of them and looked at it carefully for a moment, then nodded: "Not bad." After a pause, he turned his head to look at the old man, surprised and a little angry, "It turns out that the third uncle is the thief who stole the glass cup back then!" ”
