"The matter of the case has already been clarified, and I believe that there will be a result soon." Lu Tingxiu picked up the tea, gently plucked the floating flavor with the lid of the cup, and said indifferently: "I came today to tell a story to my wife." ”

Yang Shi was stunned, and the hand under the sleeve wrung the handkerchief, "I don't know what the story is?" ”

The sharp and transparent gaze fell on Yang's face, and Lu Tingxiu said slowly, "Thirty years ago, there was a girl who loved watching operas very much, and even fell in love with Tsing Yi in the opera troupe. Although the identities are very different, the two are in love, and just as they are looking forward to the future, the girl's father discovers the clue. The girl knew that her father was strict, and she would definitely not agree to the marriage between the two. In a panic, she flatly denied it.

Within a few days, Tsing Yi's proud throat was ruined, but he didn't blame the girl for this, and even felt that he didn't deserve her and left the country.

Thirty years later, far away in a foreign land, he has accumulated a lot of wealth, but he still can't let go of the regrets in his heart, he resolutely returns, and has experienced life and death along the way. He thought that if she was doing well, he would not bother again.

However, he found that her thirty years were more painful than his own, and her children were not successful, so her husband asked for flowers and willows.

And his return also rekindled her hope, and the two often met in private, although they did not cross the thunder pool, but they were no longer satisfied with this.

He poisoned the medicine her husband was taking through the girl in Goolan Courtyard, and her husband didn't know about it, and died violently over time.

This time, it seems that he has gone back to thirty years ago, and he still does not blame her in the slightest, and he takes all the guilt alone......"

Lu Tingxiu took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, his eyes were as light as usual, but Yang had already burst into tears.

took out Zhou He's confession, and handed it over, "Mrs. Hu, will your choice be the same as thirty years ago?" ”

A trembling hand took the paper, and Yang looked at the confession with teary eyes, and the bean-sized eyes kept splashing on the paper, and the ink was scattered.

"I think she regretted her decision."

Yang resolutely tore up Zhou He's confession, got up and said, "Lord Lu, I'll go with you." ”

Through the hazy vision, she vaguely saw the vast grassland, the cardamom girl, and the beloved man, galloping and chasing each other.

The girl looked back at Yang, showed a bright smile, and then rode away without hesitation, "Zhou Lang, wait for me." ”

As soon as he got out of Hu's mansion, he immediately rushed forward and shackled Yang.

Lu Tingxiu turned his head, looked at the huge Hu Mansion, and fell into deep thought.

The murderer has been arrested, but the stone in his heart has become heavier.

If there was no blow from the candlestick, maybe "she" would have been able to send her to the hospital in time when Hu Donglai was poisoned, and the outcome would have been different?

Unfortunately, there are no ifs.

If you catch "her", everyone will be together.

However, according to Wu Yu's confession, since she was tortured with the cane of the Yamen, her wounds have not healed and she has not gone out, which Jin can testify, and the neighbors around her have not witnessed her going out.

Wu Laosan was quite suspicious, his head was wrapped into a dumpling, and when the official came to the door, the bandage was still stained with blood.

What's more, someone has seen Wu Laosan pestering Hu Donglai.

Seeing that he looked flustered, his eyes were evasive, and he spoke in a hurry, the official took him back to the yamen without saying a word.

Kneeling in the court, Wu Laosan was almost scared, and under Lu Tingxiu's questioning, he said, "Master Qingtian, I'm ...... My injuries were inflicted in Xia Qiu. ”

The officials looked at each other, and he really dared to say it.

Lu Tingxiu said patiently: "Why did she beat you?" ”

"This ...... This ......" Wu Laosan lowered his head and dodged: "You can find out if you ask her." ”

There was a sudden sound, and Lu Tingxiu shouted angrily: "This official asked you to speak." ”

"The dead old man in the hospital seduced my daughter-in-law for the disrespect of the old man, I went to seek justice, and was ...... was beaten by Xia Qiu, and later she was still angry, and on the night of the rainstorm, she broke into my house and beat me again. ”

"She beat you, why didn't you report it?"

Wu Laosan trembled, "I...... I don't want to say. ”

"Above the court, how can you be a child's play, say."

Wu Laosan took a deep breath, closed his eyes in fear, and said excitedly: "You are a family, what's the use of me reporting to the official, you haven't turned your arms inward." ”

The magistrate's face is full of black lines.

Xu Mingliang glared angrily, "You are talking nonsense, adults are not fair, how can they show favoritism?" ”

Wu Laosan was directly frightened and cried, "I don't want to say it, you have to let me say it." ”

Lu Tingxiu waved his hand and took it down.

Xia Qiu was soon invited to the court, and in front of all the subordinate officials, she said bluntly, "That's right, I beat it." ”

"Why did you beat him so much?"

"He owes his mouth, not only slandering my master and Aunt Jin, but also adding fists and kicks to my master, and the people in the medical hall were present at the time, and they can testify." mentioned Wu Laosan, Xia Qiuyu was angry and mocking, "I have shown mercy to my subordinates that day, who knows that he not only repented, but also preached smears everywhere." My master is old and anxious, if he is angry, Wu Laosan can't afford to lose ten lives, so on the night of the rain, I let him remember it for a long time. ”

"Why didn't you say it before?"

Xia Qiu gave him a strange look. "If you haven't been caught, who's going to go around talking about it?"

The subordinate officials covered their faces, and the Hua family protected them, and they were really arrogant.

Seeing that he was about to come in a storm, Xia Qiu immediately added, "It's wrong for me to beat someone, but I have already compensated Wu Laosan for the medicine fee, and we have reconciled privately." ”

The implication is that if the people do not raise officials and do not hold them accountable, the government cannot trouble her.

Lack of clues and evidence, the last suspense person was unable to return to the case for a long time, and it was inferred that the beating did not constitute Hu Donglai's death, and Mrs. Hu knew her son's temperament of messing with flowers and grass, and just wanted to close the case as soon as possible and get back the body to calm down this family scandal.

She is in her last years, and she has no energy to wait for the inconsequential suspect to be brought to justice, she just wants to do her best for the rest of her life to smoothly hand over the family business to her grandson, so that the Hu family will not fall.

Lu Tingxiu pronounced the verdict according to the law, and Zhou He committed murder with Yang and was sentenced to death.

Time is fleeting, and there are less than two months left.

Wu Laosan's brain was broken, and he shrank in a dilapidated house, panicking all day long, and the tomb robbery business was dissolved.

Whether you rob the tomb or not, what should come will always come.

Xia Qiu is uneasy and often wakes up from nightmares. In her dreams, she clearly heard the wheezing of the puppet corpse.

They existed, she felt, in some unknown dark depth.

There is nowhere to go, the summer and autumn are in a mess, Hua Ting came to the door several times, but she avoided it, and completely handed over Lu Tingxiu's three meals a day to Xiao Shao.

Lu Tingxiu used to have a heart blockage, but now he has an infarction.

Seeing that she was depressed, Old Man Tu couldn't see it, so he drove her to the Hanging Pot Hall for a visit.

Sleeping until three o'clock in the morning, I just arrived at the door of the medical hall, only to hear the exclamations inside, and many patients rushed to the outside of the shop in a panic and covered their mouths and noses.

"Smallpox ......"

"Walk fast, walk fast, it's smallpox ......"

The patients who swarmed out almost knocked Xia Qiu and Old Man Tu down.

The old man heard that it was smallpox, and without the slightest hesitation, he squeezed through the crowd and walked into the shop, followed closely in Xia Qiu.
