Chapter XXIX: Trial of the Case (1)

Without the intention of participating in the banquet, Li Yuanming hurriedly said goodbye and left.

Not long after Wang Xuefeng and the three of them escaped from the Qinglou, the old woman did not send anyone to chase after Wang Xuefeng after learning Wang Xuefeng's true identity.

The three sisters were walking on the road, and they didn't even know where it was, so they had to go to someone and ask.

It just so happened that the three of them were hungry, and there was a lot of silver in the sachets of those strong men, enough for them to use the flowers first.

After discussion, Qi Qi entered a small restaurant, maybe the time to enter was not right, there was no one in the restaurant.

When the shopkeeper of the restaurant saw them sit down, he served a pot of tea with a very eye-catching look, and put it over with the menu: "Hello three young ladies, whatever you want to eat is in this menu, you can order it at will." ”

Wang Xuefeng took the menu and looked at it one after another, and felt that Yangchun noodles were good.

asked her two maids again: "Do you eat Yangchun noodles?" ”

Jiayi and Lin Xi nodded honestly: "Master, let's eat." ”

"Well, three bowls of Yangchun noodles and a cold dish." Wang Xuefeng read it, and Xiao Er quickly wrote it down.

She gave the menu to Lin Xi and Jiayi again, and advised: "You can choose one dish and make three dishes." ”

Jiayi and Lin Xi looked at the menu together, chose two favorite dishes, Xiao Er memorized them all, took the menu to the back kitchen, and after handing it over, he continued to sit in the lobby, waiting for the guests.

Wang Xuefeng's slender fingers picked up the chopsticks and poured himself a glass of water, a little bored.

Hurriedly turned his face to Xiao Er, left his seat, and came to Xiao Er.

Xiao Er hesitated: "What's the matter, Miss, is there anything you need me to do?" ”

Naturally, I have nothing to do with you, and I think she is smiling on the surface.

"Well, it's my first time here, and I don't know what this place is, do you know where this is?" By the way, Wang Xuefeng took out a few copper plates and put them in the small second-hand.

Xiao Er hurriedly put away the copper plate and told Wang Xuefeng: "This is Anyang County." ”

Wang Xuefeng returned to her seat clearly, and she had a little memory of this Anyang county town.

Before the original owner's mother did not pass away, she came to visit the New Year every year, and when she died, she heard Xiaoting say that she only sent a letter, but no one came.

In Wang Xuefeng's impression, her grandmother's family belongs to a wealthy merchant in this county, and there is no shortage of silver.

Wang Xuefeng's mother is the eldest, and there is a younger brother at the bottom, and now that his grandfather has died, he is left with his grandmother, and his younger brother has been married for many years, leaving behind a child, and the family is safe.

Anyway, it's a little far from the capital, and they are destined to not be able to go back today, so it's better to go to grandma's house to stay overnight.

Yangchun noodles were the first to be on the table, and all the dishes were served one after another, and a cold dish was added.

The meal is ready, and it must be eaten.

Smelling the fragrant smell of food, Wang Xuefeng decisively picked up the chopsticks and ate in a big gulp.

"Eat, eat, Miss, you're probably too hungry." It's the first time I've seen this gobble.

Wang Xuefeng was eating, and just as he was about to speak, he heard the sound of someone grunting and swallowing saliva, and he was disgusted.

"Don't look at me, you can eat too." Wang Xuefeng motioned for Jiayi and Lin Xi to eat.

The two maids received the master's order to open the meal, and they all tasted elegant noodles, and their voices were not very loud, very much like a lady.

Wang Xuefeng was the first to eat, the first to finish, and after the maids had finished eating, he called Xiao Er over.

"How much silver are these?" With his stomach propped up, Wang Xuefeng simply stood up.

"Miss, a total of three hundred Wen."

"Here you go, three hundred wen." Wang Xuefeng took out the silver from the sachet and settled the bill decisively.

Leaving the restaurant, Wang Xuefeng led her two maids to the Gong Mansion, where the Gong Mansion was, she still knew it.

As soon as she walked to the street belonging to Gongfu, she saw the door plaque of Gongfu, but she saw a lot of officers and soldiers.

Suspiciously, Wang Xuefeng crossed the crowd and stepped to the gate of the mansion, just a few officials grabbed a young man with both hands and unceremoniously put him in the shackles.

The first time Jiayi and Lin Xi came here, they were seriously puzzled.

This is her grandmother's house, and Wang Xuefeng has the right to ask.

She stood in front of the two officials in a daze, and directly reported her identity and said: "I am the county lord of the emperor's own title, what is the situation here, why do you want to arrest their family?" ”

When the official heard that it was the identity of the county lord, he stood there and had no explanation.

On the contrary, the young man who was in shackles shouted excitedly: "Cousin, you must save us, my father and my mother and second brother have been arrested, we didn't kill anyone, we didn't do it." ”

Desperately calling for help, Wang Xuefeng twisted his eyebrows.

The tone was very unkind, and he skimmed to the officer: "Now the county lord orders you to stop arresting people, and release all the people, if you can't be the master, you will find your head for me, this case is the county chief judge." ”

The official really couldn't do anything, and one of them went to call the county magistrate over. When he called, he reported Wang Xuefeng's identity.

"Wechen see the county lord, please forgive the county lord, this request Weichen can't do it." The county order is righteous and righteous, and he doesn't take Wang Xuefeng seriously at all.

If the county lord does not have a fief, he is not a county lord, and the best thing is a name, here he is the boss, and everyone has to listen to him.

That contempt, Wang Xuefeng looked unpleasant, and let out a cold breath: "Since the county order refuses to release people, it doesn't matter, then in the past few days, the county commander, you have arrested them in prison, and you are not allowed to use lynching, the county lord will hurry back to the capital and let His Royal Highness Prince Heng come over and assist you in handling the case, okay?" ”

No matter what, she saved Li Luheng, and I believe that he can agree to this little request.

What she wants to kill is evidence, she will not be partial, what she wants is the truth and the result, and she can't let people torture to extract confessions or bribe the verdict.

This will avoid a lot of wrongful convictions, especially since this is her grandmother's house.

There was a quarrel outside the door, and there were people in the house who were not implicated, and they felt that they had come to save them, and they were the first to go back and tell Mrs. Gong.

"What, my granddaughter is here, when will she be the county lord, quick, take me to the outside of the mansion, I want to see her." Riding on crutches, the old man's legs and feet were neat, and his head was in vain.

She has a son and a daughter in this birth, the daughter is considered filial, and the son is not very filial, but she is not treated harshly, that is, she doesn't care about the house in the house.

What kind of virtue does her son have, she doesn't know how she is a mother, how can she kill people if she is so timid, she has no support here, and she offended the newly appointed county magistrate, and she was the first to be done.

Mrs. Gong only hoped that she could borrow Wang Xuefeng's power to help their family tide over the difficulties.

"I don't dare." The county order was temporarily deflated.

Wang Xuefeng watched them one by one, and his relatives were all together, so he simply arrested people and didn't take them away.

"That's good, you don't let Prince Heng handle the case, the county lord understands that you must go through the official department for your promotion to the assessment, and the official department has a close relationship with my father, besides, do you have any evidence?" Half-warned, she wanted to get more information.

"Since the lower officials want to arrest people, there must be evidence, and a few people can prove that the deceased's family only has conflicts with the Gong family, and has not offended anyone else." The county order is not as arrogant, with a smile on his face.

Wang Xuefeng really couldn't listen to these words anymore, and his nose was crooked.

"Except for the witness, it's gone? Are you a pig's brain, just because the two families have grievances, so it is concluded that the murderer is the Gong family, and the county magistrate can really try the case, genius, if this is the case, then he has to release people. That tone, that look, she understood that the ironclad case was not so simple, and there must be something boring.

Being scolded like this, what tricks can the county order have, especially the officials, it is fatal, if you really offend, you can only stay here for the rest of your life.

Holding back the unhappiness, the county magistrate echoed in a low voice: "Yes, yes, the county lord, what you said is right, this official will let them let them go." ”

They are all together and not far away, as soon as the county order came out, all the people were unshackled, and Mrs. Gong almost cried when she stayed at the door.

"Everyone is released, this case continues to be investigated, and the deceased must be returned to a fair, the county lord knows that what he said just now is a bit arbitrary, but out of consideration, these people are still suspicious, you can call them over to ask about the case, and tomorrow the county lord will go over and lie down in person." Immediately, Wang Xuefeng slowly complained to the county order.

In short, the meaning is obvious, she doesn't shield anyone, she doesn't favoritism, in case the murderer is her own family, she will never go back to help.

"The county lord is right, then tomorrow the official will retry the case, and Weichen will go back first." There is no way for the prefectural order.

After everyone left, only the relatives who had been in great distress were left, and Wang Xuefeng was not in a good mood and did not leave.

Gong Jianlin understood that they were dragging Wang Xuefeng down, so he was grateful and spoke first: "County Lord, go in first, mother, she thinks you think very much." ”

Being taken advantage of, Mrs. Gong was not happy, and Xiao Wang rushed to take the lead in curling her lips: "Yes, my mother-in-law became seriously ill after knowing the news of my sister's death, and I was worried about whether you were doing well in the house." ”

"Don't talk about that, granddaughter, let's go in and talk." With a red face, Mrs. Gong is not good at exposing the lies of her son and daughter-in-law.

Wang Xuefeng's plain eyelids were raised, and he took Mrs. Gong's arm affectionately, and entered the mansion together.

Speaking of which, there is also an aunt in the house, who has a son, who is a concubine, Gong Jianlin's own flesh and blood.

Just now, the yamen arrested people, and Aunt Lin was scared, and she worked hard to pack up the gold, silver and jewelry, knowing that this family was going to fall, so she had to leave here quickly.

Anyway, if you have money, you don't have to worry about finding a place to live, and then marry a daughter-in-law for your son to be filial to her.

Aunt Lin thought it was very beautiful, and as soon as she carried the burden, her henchman broke in: "Aunt Lin, my lord, his wife, and my son were not arrested, and we met a noble person in our house and was rescued." ”

"What, is the master's family innocent, which noble man has such great ability, even our master has been saved, do you know who it is?" Aunt Lin hurriedly grabbed the maid's arm, desperate to know everything.
