Back at the palace, the officials presented the newly discovered evidence to the government officials, while Nanxing recounted the connections between each thing. Fu Yin and Master both nodded after listening.

After the interrogation resumed, Fu Yin was shocked and shouted.

"Zhao Youcai, you are guilty!"

Zhao Youcai paused for a moment, fell to the ground and shouted: "Big lord, the villain didn't do anything, wronged, wronged." ”

Seeing this, the onlookers also raised a buzzing question.

Nanxing got up and saluted Fu Yin, "Lord Fu Yin, let me analyze the case again, so that the people can hear it clearly." ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is a document for an autopsy, and the cause of Li Guihua's death was not a knife wound in the chest, but drowning." As soon as Nanxing's words came out, Zhao Youcai's face changed suddenly.

Someone said out that he was Zhao Shi's neighbor, so Li Guihua had a lot of blood in her chest, and she was lying on her back on the ground, how could she die of drowning?

Nanxing said that after careful examination, the knife on Li Guihua's chest did not stab the heart.

If it was stabbed in the heart, the instantaneous amount of bleeding would stain the ground of the small courtyard red, but at present, it was only soaking Li Guihua's inner and outer clothes.

Of course, the most important thing is that Li Guihua's mouth and nose have dried up foam marks, and there is some bleeding in her ears, which are all manifestations of drowning.

In addition, Li Guihua's soles are relatively clean, and if she walked to Xiaoshi's house by herself, the soles would definitely be stained with mud.

During the autopsy, Nanxing found that Li Guihua was missing an earring and had some threads in her nails, while her missing earrings were found in the water tank of Zhao Youcai's house, and a little bit of rag was also found, the color and texture of the rag were the same as the thread in Li Guihua's fingernails.

Subsequently, Nanxing asked the official to show one of Zhao Youcai's undershirts, and it was obvious that the cuffs of the undershirt were torn and matched the shape of the rags.

Then the official put out a pair of Zhao Youcai's cloth shoes, which were covered with mud.

Nanxing said that they found two sets of shoe prints with the same pattern as the soles of Zhao Shi's house outside the courtyard wall.

But it is strange that the toe of these two sets of shoe prints is facing completely different, the shoe prints with the tips facing Zhao Shi's family are darker, while the shoe prints facing the opposite direction are lighter.

Fu Yin slapped the shocked wood again, "Zhao Youcai, are you still unwilling to recruit?" Come and be punished. ”

When Zhao Youcai heard this, he sat down on the ground and muttered, "I'll move, I'll move." ”

This morning, Li Guihua wanted Zhao Youcai to go to Zhao Shi's house to ask for money, but Zhao Youcai disagreed, and Li Guihua pointed at Zhao Youcai's nose and scolded.

Zhao Youcai wanted to turn around and go back to the house, but was grabbed by Li Guihua, the two of them tore up, Zhao Youcai pulled Li Guihua away, and entered the house without looking.

Who knew that Li Guihua didn't stand firmly, her head hit the water tank and fainted, but her head happened to hang down into the water tank, and when Zhao Youcai lost her breath and came out to see it again, Li Guihua was already out of breath.

At this time, Zhao Youcai had a bad heart, forcibly calmed himself, picked up the scissors in the house and put them in his arms, and carried Li Guihua on his back, taking advantage of no one in the morning, Li Guihua was still in the courtyard of Zhao Shi's house.

Afraid of being discovered, Zhao Youcai also stabbed Li Guihua's chest with scissors, pretending to be stabbed to death, and threw the scissors in the corner of the courtyard wall when he left.

Zhao Youcai, who returned home, hurriedly changed his clothes and shoes, pretended to go to Zhao Shi's house, and found Li Guihua's body.

The case was revealed, Zhao Shi was acquitted in court, and Zhao Youcai was sentenced to death row for manslaughter and framing, and was sentenced to death row for the next day.

Zhao Shi kowtowed three times to Nanxing, thanking Nanxing for saving his life, but his eyes were full of sadness.

Nanxing thought for a while and said to him: "Zhao Shi, I am the eldest lady of the Yuelinglong Silver Building in Jinling Mansion, I lack a clever little girl, I think you are very suitable." ”

"Thank you Miss Ye for your kindness, I don't have anything to do as a slave, but I don't want my sister to become a slave, and I may have to live up to Miss Ye's kindness."

Zhao Shi raised his eyes and caught a glimpse of his cousin Tie Zhu's look at him, and that look was eager to eat him alive.

After this incident, although he is innocent, I don't know if the city guard will cancel his qualification as a guide. In fact, Zhao Shi also felt that Nanxing was a good master, not to mention being kind and angry, and he didn't have the arrogance of looking down on people.

Nanxing patted Zhao Shi on the shoulder, "You misunderstood what I meant, I signed an employment contract with you, not a deed of sale." You can let your sister follow Lingxi first, they are the same age, and Lingxi is gentle and will not bully her. ”

Seeing that Zhao Shi seemed to want to say something, Nan Xing hurriedly said: "Don't be in a hurry to refuse, this is not a trivial matter, you can go home first and think about it." ”

Zhao Shi thought about it for a while, agreed with Nanxing's statement, and agreed to give Nanxing an answer early tomorrow morning.

As expected, Zhao Shi brought his sister to meet Nanxing the next day.

Zhao Shi's sister may be due to long-term malnutrition, her hair is slightly thin, and she is very dry and frizzy, but her eyes are very big, and she is looking at her with some watery, and at this moment the little girl is looking at Nanxing and Lingxi crampedly.

After a trip to Yaxing and a twenty-year employment contract, Zhao Shi officially became Nanxing's sidekick, and his sister became Lingxi's playmate.

Nanxing felt that Zhao Shi's name sounded stunned, and after becoming a master and servant, she changed Xiao Shi's name to the master.

added a few strokes to Zhao Shi's original name and changed his name to Zhao Zhengyan. The word rock means a raised peak, and it means uprightness, which has the effect of strengthening muscles and bones.

Nanxing hopes that he can become a man who stands up to the sky.

Zhao Zhengyan's sister also begged Nanxing to give her a nice name, and Lingxi said on the side that it might as well be called Forsythia.

Forsythia is a beautiful tree that grows vigorously and is fragrant and pleasing to the eye when it blooms.

In the north of the city, Nanxing bought a red teak carriage, the body is very spacious, and the three adults do not feel cramped in it, with the maroon red Western Regions bantam horse, walking on the road is both stable and sturdy.

After returning to the inn satisfied, Nanxing handed Zhao Zhengyan twenty taels of silver and asked him to take care of the things he needed to get on the road, including some food and use.

The main thing is that you must prepare more refreshments and snacks, except for Nanxing himself, the other three are still half-grown children, and it's not good to be hungry.

Well, the main thing is that Nanxing wants to eat it himself, in 3700 only the rich can eat this kind of dim sum, not to mention the exquisite workmanship and taste.

Originally, Nanxing was going to buy these things in person, but he was stumped by something else before he went out.

The shopkeeper Zhou of the Yuelai Inn in Nancheng saluted Nanxing, "This guest officer, Gonggong Zhang wants to ask you to move to another courtyard and discuss something." ”

That father-in-law Zhang is the "flower and bird envoy" I saw a few days ago, Nanxing thought to himself that he was really sleepy and sent pillows, since everyone called the shopkeeper to invite him, he simply went to see what was going on.
