Chapter 142: You've Lost Me
Xia Qiu issued an eviction order, "It's late at night, Lord Lu should go back and rest early." ”
Lu Ting cultivated his qi knot, and finally couldn't bear it anymore, and warned him: "Xia Chubby, you will lose me like this." ”
Summer and autumn were unmoved.
Lu Tingxiu's heart was cold, "You have lost me." ”
After finishing speaking, he brushed his sleeves and left.
Xia Qiu lay back on the soft couch, thinking of his expression just now, he couldn't help laughing.
How nice would it be if he could still say that to her two months later?
Really angry, Lu Tingxiu returned to the inner courtyard to rest, and his stomach hurt again.
He pressed the feet of his feet, but he couldn't stop the pain.
It wasn't until the early hours of the morning that he faintly felt sleepy, and Lu Tingxiu was dizzy and dizzy, and was woken up by a rude knock on the door with a "bang".
Xu Mingliang shouted outside the door, "My lord, I have found evidence, Sister Xia is innocent." ”
At that time, Lu Xiuting was dreaming, and he refused to say anything until he died in the dream, and in the end he was beheaded by him, and blood was splashed three feet.
Wake up suddenly, open the room, and the sun is dazzling.
It was past noon, and my stomach was rumbling.
"What evidence?" Lu Tingxiu, who had been tossed by stomach pain all night, was weak.
"Sister Xia didn't kill anyone, she was with Hua Ting that night."
Rain or shine, a secret meeting with Hua Ting?
Hehe, is that a good thing?
Lu Tingxiu's face turned green.
"What's the fuss?" Lu Tingxiu reprimanded: "Hua Ting, the second ancestor, did he make less perjury?" ”
was poured cold water by the county, and Xu Mingliang died down.
Regardless of whether he Hua Shao is committing perjury or not, Sister Xia can clear her suspicions, why do you have to do this?
Men are much more jealous than women.
Xu Mingliang dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak, and said tactfully and forbearingly: "Hua Shao brought a lot of witnesses over, why don't we listen to it first?" ”
Lu Tingxiu hesitated for a moment, but agreed.
The third class of officials was in place, and the whole team was promoted.
Hua Ting not only came by himself, but also brought a group of people from Wu Yangyang, including the shopkeeper and Xiao Er of Fuguilou, as well as the one who sells rouge gouache next door, and the jewelry and jade next door next door.
Above the court, Hua Ting was full of spring breeze, raised his head and chest, changed his previous sluggish state of losing weight, and looked like a male peacock with only the screen open.
"Lord Lu, Xiao Xia was framed, you are about to release the person for me." Hua Ting was disrespectful, and pointed at Lu Tingxiu angrily with a jade fan.
Xu Mingliang coughed heavily, "Hua Shao, there is no child's play in the court, we have something to say." ”
Hua Ting sneered and said provocatively: "The night before yesterday, Xiao Xia was with me all night, and they can all testify, how can I have the leisure to kill people?" ”
As soon as these words came out, all the subordinate officials were in an uproar, and the magistrate was cuckolded.
For a time, all the subordinate officials and officials all cast sympathetic glances at the magistrate. O man's pain!
"Hugh is talking nonsense." Lu Tingxiu slapped Tang Mu suddenly, "I was still having dinner with this official the night before summer and autumn, how could I be with you?" ”
Wow, hugging left and right, stepping on two boats, everyone pricked up their ears.
"There was a lantern festival that night, I met Xiao Xia at the lantern festival, it was about four o'clock at the time, who knew how long it took to change the sky, I accompanied her to shelter from the rain, to the jade shop to buy jewelry, and then to buy rouge, etc., and then the rain became heavier and heavier, we couldn't go back, simply ate in the rich building, and drank wine later, we were very drunk at the time, she took my hand first......"
Don't look at Hua Ting as the second ancestor, but he has no experience in trysts between men and women, thinking of the fragrant scene the night before, he changed his previous arrogance and domineering, and became shy, and the whole person exuded a flying spring, "She talked to me a lot, sat on my lap again, fed me wine, and then we opened a room." ”
"No foul language shall be spoken in court." Lu Tingxiu was like a thorn in the back, and he almost didn't let people beat him out.
This matter, not to mention that the magistrate can't bear it, but all men can't bear it.
From the official to the subordinate official, there is no difference in sympathy and pity Lu Tingxiu, this is retribution, who let him be a man without leaving a line.
Master Li, who was on the side of the hall, almost crooked his mouth. Very good, the magistrate also has today.
"Needless to say, the details are too clear." Xu Mingliang still couldn't see it, and interjected: "When you drink, what time is it?" ”
Hua Ting was so drunk, how could he remember what time it was, but the shopkeeper of Fuguilou remembered it clearly, "I helped the young master out of the box, and it was about a moment or so ugly." ”
Lu Tingxiu asked, "How do you remember it so clearly?" ”
The shopkeeper smiled dryly, "Our restaurant belongs to the Hua family, how can the young master not accompany him, my buddy and I are waiting not far from the wing." ”
"You yourself said that the restaurant was opened by the Hua family, how can the official believe that you are not colluding?"
"When the restaurant opens its door to do business, it relies on integrity, how dare you lie, not to mention that it is now involved in a homicide." The shopkeeper's tone was sincere and knowledgeable, "By the way, there is a long-term businessman in our restaurant, who came to Lin County to do business, and he came back late because of the heavy rain.
It was unpleasant, the merchant left the next day, I don't know where he went, if you can find him, you can prove that Miss Xia is innocent. ”
Then, those who sold rouge and jade bracelets all came out to testify that Hua Ting had indeed come to the shop with Xia Qiu, and even the styles and prices he bought were all in detail, and they explained it clearly.
Lu Tingxiu pointed to the rouge seller, "The official asked you, how tall did Xia Qiu grow?" ”
The rouge seller thought about it carefully, "Miss Xia is tall, about five feet. Afraid that he was wrong, he also compared the approximate height.
"What is she wearing?" Lu Tingxiu stared at the jade seller.
"Like...... It's green. ”
Lu Tingxiu's heart is half cool, and the smoke willow color is light green.
"What does she look like?" He still doesn't give up.
"Goose egg face, cherry mouth, beauty point, very white skin......"
Lu Tingxiu took a deep breath, "Since the room has been opened, when did Xia Qiu leave?" ”
This stopped Hua Ting, "When I woke up, she was already gone." "The girl is shy, he understands.
This matter, the shopkeeper also wondered, afraid that the young master would have a demand, he also deliberately left the little servant outside the room to wait for his life all night, who knew that when the door was opened the next day, Xia Qiu was gone, and the window was wide open.
The shopkeeper's rhetoric, Lu Tingxiu didn't believe it at all.
Someone was guarding outside, but Xia Qiu jumped out of the window and left? That's the second floor, she's going to become the young lady of the Hua family, do you still need to jump out of the window?
It is easy to do a full set of dramas, with Hua Ting's financial resources, to clear Xia Qiu's suspicions, and make up a few so-called witnesses.
It's just that their rhetoric has a lot of flaws.
According to their confessions, Xia Qiu bought a lot of rouge gouache, especially jade jewelry, more than 3,000 taels. If Xia Qiu is greedy for Hua Ting's money, he doesn't have to wait until this time.
Hua Ting was annoyed, and pointed at Lu Tingxiu angrily in the air again, "Do you look at Xiao Xia unpleasantly, and think that she is embarrassed to follow me, so you want to kill her?" ”
"This official is on the matter, but your logic does not match."
