"What is the relationship between Zhang Lan and Xu Tao?" The county magistrate asked.

"Mama Zhang is very doting on Xu Tao, Xu Tao always has nothing to do, the money he spends on him is given by Mama Zhang, and I can hear Xu Tao asking Mama Zhang for silver, and even the mother and son quarreled many times, as if Mama Zhang didn't give money, Xu Tao directly stole Mama Zhang's things and took them as pawns." The servant replied.

"Does anyone recognize the knife?" The county magistrate asked, and the official on the side shook his knife in front of the subordinates.

"Yes." Someone stood up and said: "I have heard Xu Tao say that this knife is a birthday gift from Mama Zhang." Xu Tao liked it very much and took it closely. ”

"Have you seen what happened last night?"

Someone stood up and said that they heard Xu Tao's angry scolding, some people heard Mama Zhang's scolding, and many subordinates said that they rushed to the scene as soon as they heard the screams, and just saw Mama Zhang holding a knife in her hand and standing beside Xu Tao's corpse in a panic.

This is almost another real hammer, not only that, but he also found a small rag on Xu Tao's body, and after some inspection, this small rag is the same as the cloth on Zhang Lan's body.

After two women inspected, they found that a corner of Zhang Lan's clothes was missing, and when they compared it, what was missing was the small rag.

Zhang Lan, who heard this answer, was completely stunned, staring at the corner of her clothes in disbelief, even she didn't know when a corner of her clothes was missing, and what was missing fell on Xu Fu's body.

At this time, the fact that Zhang Lan killed her son is irrefutable.

"Wronged, county master, the people's women are wronged, the people's women didn't kill the people's women's son, this rag must have been carefully designed."

However, the evidence was conclusive and did not allow Zhang Lan to quibble, and the county magistrate immediately took the case and wanted to close the case, but at this moment, a government official rushed in from outside, walked to the county magistrate's side and whispered to him.

I saw that the county master frowned, and his face became more and more ugly, and even worse, he glanced at Zhang Lan and Song Wanfeng with embarrassment.

Everyone was confused about this sudden situation, but Zhang Lan, who was kneeling on the ground, breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the officer, and when she saw the officer's invisible nod to her, she secretly laughed in her heart, and glanced at Song Wanfeng proudly, at this moment Zhang Lan was extremely glad that she was forward-looking.

After figuring it out last night, Zhang Lan called the guard, and wanted to buy it with silver, but she was in a hurry to go out, and she didn't have any money on her, so she could only tell the official where she hid the silver, and asked the official to help her send the letter to the post station, and let the people at the post station send the letter to Mrs. Liu.

It takes a few days to travel from Kyoto, so Zhang Lan had to find someone to save her life first, and then asked the official to rush to the adjacent Cloud City overnight to find the Taishou of Yuncheng and let the Taishou protect her life.

The county magistrate was shocked, frowned and said: "There are still doubts in this case, and it needs to be verified again." In addition, the county order has an urgent matter and needs to leave the town immediately, and the case will be retried after the county order returns. ”

Hearing such an answer, it immediately caused a sensation, and everyone was puzzled, there are all the human and material evidence, what are the doubts?

Song Wanfeng knew very well that the county magistrate was going to sentence Zhang Lan, but because of the arrival of the officer, his attitude changed, and it must have been what the officer said to the county master. Song Wanfeng didn't panic in the slightest, Zhang Lan had already entered her palm, so she didn't want to escape.

The county magistrate eagerly retreated from the hall and left, and the official pulled Zhang Lan to prepare to continue to be imprisoned, Zhang Lan broke free from the officer's hand, pounced on Huiniang's body, and scolded angrily: "You, I know, my son must have been killed by your." You hold a grudge because he took away your innocence, and I tell you I will not let you go.

You wait for me, and when I come out, see how I can let you pay for my son's life. ”

Zhang Lan knew that Song Wanfeng must have been involved in this matter, and she didn't know how much she was involved.

"Miss, I hope your hands are clean, otherwise I won't let you go whether you are Miss or not."

Song Wanfeng smiled calmly and indifferently, "From the beginning, you didn't let me go!" It's not just you, it's them. I owe it to me, and I will get it back. ”

Zhang Lan was taken away, and the crowd that had no drama to watch quickly dispersed, Song Wanfeng turned around and returned to Zhuangzi with the herbs and dewdrops, and Hui Niang, who was kneeling on the ground, came back to her senses and fell in front of Song Wanfeng.

"Miss, you can't abandon the slave and the maid! The slave does all this for the sake of ......"

"You know exactly why." Song Wanfeng interrupted Hui Niang's words, "Also, nothing else has happened yet, so I'm messing around here." It was Mama Zhang's murder, but it was sentenced a few days later, what worries, what are you afraid of. ”

Hui Niang was still a little worried and scared in her heart, but seeing Song Wanfeng's cold gaze and thinking of the words that Song Wanfeng said to her, the fear in Hui Niang's heart disappeared instantly.

Yes! It was Mama Zhang who killed Xu Tao, and the evidence was conclusive, and there were witnesses, but it was only sentenced a few days later.

As soon as she entered the village, Luzhu said angrily: "That official must have been bribed by Mama Zhang, so he deliberately appeared when he bit the case." Miss, do you think that the county master will also be bought by Mama Zhang? ”

Song Wanfeng shook his head, based on the county master's previous performance, Song Wanfeng didn't feel that the county master was bought by Zhang Lan, otherwise the county master would not ask so bluntly, he could have conspired with Zhang Lan to reverse right and wrong.

However, it is not clear whether the official has anything to do with Zhang Lan or not.

"Miss, did you just let Mama Zhang escape?" Baicao was a little unwilling.

"How could it be. Didn't she want Liu Mulan to save her? That's what she wants. ”

"What do you mean, Miss?" Baicao asked.

"She wants to see Liu Mulan, and Liu Mulan won't come here to see her, so I'll send her to Kyoto and deliver the case to Dali Temple." Song Wanfeng sneered.

Returning to Baicaotang from Zhuangzi, Chu Ziyu, who had just entered the door, was asked by Wei Sheng: "How is it?" ”

"It's not good, the human and material evidence are all there, and I was postponed for retrial by the county magistrate." Chu Ziyu sat down and responded by pouring himself a cup of tea.

"Then why didn't the county master sentence it?"

Chu Ziyu shook his head, looking like he didn't care at all.

Angry, Wei Sheng pressed his hand to knock Chu Ziyu's head, but Chu Ziyu dodged it, and stretched out his hand to knock again, this time Chu Ziyu didn't dodge, but Wei Sheng's hand was stopped by Zhou Shi before it hit Chu Ziyu's head.

Staring at Zhou Yan's expressionless cold face, Wei Sheng flicked his sleeves, sat on another chair, and poured himself a cup of tea. "That old girl likes it very much, if you can help, you can help."

"Okay!" Chu Ziyu agreed, "As long as you go back to Kyoto with me, I will help that girl deal with it immediately." ”

Wei Sheng's face sank, and he roared angrily: "Don't go back, the old man just wants to live a clean life here, you, go back to Kyoto for me." ”

"If you don't leave, if I don't leave, I'll pester you until you get tired of going back with me." Ziyu said with a smile.
