"Bang Bang Bang"

The startled wood suddenly sounded, and the maids and mothers-in-law who were noisy and confrontational in the hall all shrank their necks and did not dare to make a mistake.

Only Aunt Fang was weeping and sad from beginning to end, not for herself, but for the mother who died of incense.

Sitting under the hanging plaque of the mirror, the county magistrate asked selflessly, "Liu Qiuying, apart from your speculation, is there any other evidence to prove that Chen Fang's family bought the murder?" ”

"I ......" Mama Liu looked at the magistrate at a loss, "My lord, I am by no means one-sided." ”

The magistrate was not moved by her crying, "But are there other witnesses who can prove your testimony?" ”

"Yes!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the high hall looked at her, "Who! ”

With a hint of the victor's snickering, Mama Liu said to the other party's aunt who was jealous and hateful, "The eldest son." ”

"Brother Yao is still alive!" When Aunt Fang, who was originally very sad, heard this, she finally showed a touch of relief and happiness, "Where is he, take him home quickly." ”

Anyone who saw it felt that this aunt was happy with the news that Chen Yao was still alive.

Zhixian looked at Mama Liu under the hall with a pair of cloudy and indifferent eyes, "Liu Qiuying, you once said that Aunt Fang bought and killed the Liu family and the eldest son, and at this moment you said that the eldest prince is still alive, since the eldest prince is alive, you can take him out to testify against Aunt Fang." ”

"The eldest prince...... The eldest son, he and I were separated. ”

"What, you lost Brother Yao!" Qing Ju roared backwards, "No wonder you want to falsely accuse my aunt, it turns out that you are afraid that the Chen Mansion will hold you accountable for leaving the eldest son." ”

Mama Liu hurriedly waved her hand to defend, "No, no, when we passed by Dawan Mountain Division, a group of killers disguised as mountain bandits surrounded us, and the guards fought hard to fight for us, but those killers chased Mrs. and didn't let go, Mrs. saw the clue and knew that these people were not mountain bandits, they didn't ask for money, they came for her and the eldest prince, so they handed the eldest prince over to us and ran out......"

"But the black light is blind, we are not familiar with the place, those killers have stepped on a point, in order to let the eldest prince live, we divided the troops into several ways, trying to lure away those pursuers, so ...... That's why ...... Scattered. ”

She kept kowtowing, "Please master Mingjian!" The old slave didn't dare to abandon the eldest son, as long as he found the eldest son, the old slave's testimony could be verified, the old slave was a loyal servant! Woowoo woo ......"

The magistrate was shocked and asked, "Since you said that you fled by different routes, how can you be sure that everyone else has been killed, and how can you be sure that the eldest prince has not been killed?" Now that everyone else has been killed, how did you, an old woman, survive? ”

"Lord Zhixian, the reason why the old slave was able to escape was because when he led the killer away and fled, the old slave accidentally rolled down the cliff and hung on a tree, so he escaped their pursuit and survived."

Mama Liu burst into tears, describing the events of that night in a thrilling manner, "When the old slave woke up, it was already the afternoon of the second day, and the old slave climbed the cliff with a handful of old bones and went back to find it...... I saw the lady, the coachman, and the guards lying on the ground, and I called them one by one, but they were all breathing. ”

I couldn't help myself and sobbed for a long time, "The old slave searched everywhere, and found the bodies of other guards, but the old slave didn't find the eldest son, the eldest prince is such a smart child, he must still be alive." ”

"Because of looking for someone, the old slave was delayed for some time in Dawanshan Division, but the old slave also gained something." She touched a piece of rag cloth from her arms, "This is what the old slave found in a cave ten kilometers away from the killer chasing us, this is the fabric of the eldest prince's robe, using the best Tianxiang silk, the satin on it is customized by the Chen Mansion, and the county master will know when he goes to Jinxiuzhuang to check." ”

She fell to the ground, holding the fabric high in both hands, "The eldest prince must still be alive." ”

One of the servants came down and took the garment and put it in a tray.

Aunt Fang covered her mouth, "Yes, this is the material on Brother Yao'er's clothes." ”

"Master Zhixian, I just ask you to send someone to find the eldest prince back quickly, please!" Aunt Fang knelt on the ground weakly, "Brother Yao is my sister's lifeblood, and it is also the treasure of the master's heart, how can he be left out." ”

Liu Ruyue also glanced at the fabric, it was indeed the dirty and tattered coat he was wearing when she met Chen Yao.

At that time, the clothes were too broken, who knew that when the child was fleeing for his life, the Tianxiang silk was scraped on some branches and shrubs.

At that time, she guessed that Chen Yao was in a lot of trouble, and she didn't dare to let him wear that set of clothes to swagger through the market.

Even though it was difficult to meet people in the mountains, it was possible, so when he cooked, he threw his coat into the fire and burned it to ashes.

Although it is not very elegant to wear only the middle coat, but after it is dirty, ordinary people can't see that the fabric of the middle coat is any outstanding.

"Since the eldest prince is still alive, let's find the eldest prince first, Liu Qiuying, during this time, you are staying in the yamen and waiting."

The magistrate looked at Aunt Fang again, "Liu Qiuying's complaint against Chen Fang's family is not evidence, you can't leave Shaxing during this time, and you can't leave Shaxing during this time, let alone Dongting County, otherwise, this county can sentence you to abscond in fear of crime according to the law." ”

"Yes, thank you for the wisdom of the county master, I hope the county master can send more people to find my eldest son." Aunt Fang was helped up by Qingju and Begonia.

She bowed again, "I also ask the county lord to testify, the slave family is bothered to ask the yamen to help issue an official search notice, if anyone can help find the eldest prince who is healthy and healthy, and has a complete beard, the Chen family will reward three thousand taels of silver." ”

"Aunt Fang is really a good person!"

"Yes, if it's an aunt from another family, I'm afraid I can't hope that the eldest son will die outside, who will give out silver and post a reward order like Aunt Fang, three thousand taels of silver, that's not a small amount."

Liu Ruyue heard the discussion in the crowd and sighed in her heart, sure enough, today's play was designed for Chen Yao.

Although Aunt Fang still can't see any flaws, although she will end up with speculation and infamy for a while, but after thinking about it carefully, there is indeed no evidence for this matter.

Even if Chen Yao came back and he made a guess, who would believe it?

Speculation can never be used as testimony.

Moreover, even if Chen Yao is not successful, or dies outside and cannot come back, as long as there are other witnesses who come forward to prove that what Mama Liu said is false, saying that Mama Liu and the mountain bandits colluded to harm the master, Mama Liu will fall into a catastrophe.

This is also the reason why Liu Ruyue vetoed directly taking Chen Yao back to Chen's mansion at the beginning.

If Aunt Fang is really scheming as Chen Yao said, then Mama Liu can live, and Mama Chen will not die, and Mama Chen is probably the chess piece that Aunt Fang kept to solve the siege.
