Chapter 24: Interrogation in court

Gu Jiu had a smile on his face, looking at the little girl who was soft, but the words that came out were like knives, stabbing people with a knife would not kill.

However, they don't take care of this matter today, and they can't say anything.

Fang Qing didn't expect Gu Jiu to be so difficult to deal with, but he could only sneer and said: "Don't misunderstand, Mrs. Shizi, I really don't mean this, not to mention that the Ming Guogong Mansion has a big business, how could he do something to steal his daughter-in-law's dowry?" It's true that I didn't think about today's events, so don't worry about it. ”

It's just that she was suspicious in her heart, before Gu Jiu got married, she had clearly sent someone to investigate clearly, this girl has a soft personality, she has no opinions when she is raised, and she loves Qin Zheng, she should be a very controllable person.

Why is it that it is a hedgehog now, so piercing!

Gu Jiu's smile remained unchanged, and he only said, "I naturally won't be too careful." ”

The facts that are clearly laid out, how can she be careful?

However, if you want to steal her Jin Yuzhai, go in a dream.

Not to mention a shop, in this life, they are just a needle and thread that they want to get out of their hands!

Fang Qing really saw the sarcasm from her smile, and he was so angry in his heart that he had to keep smiling, and said, "Your sister Ayao is also young, and if you want to make a come, you don't want to be separated from her because of today's matter." Yesterday, she was still chattering, I like you as a sister-in-law. ”

Hearing this, Gu Jiu just smiled and didn't answer.

Old Madam Qin had not experienced such anger for many years, and now she felt that it was an eyesore when she looked at Gu Jiu, so she waved her hand and asked her to retreat first.

Gu Jiu didn't bother to spend time here with them, so he saluted and left decisively.

Take a few more glances at this hypocritical face, she is afraid that she will live a few years less!

She walked neatly, but after she went out, Old Madam Qin's face became completely gloomy, and she said, "It's all your good ideas!" ”

In the end, she is shallow-eyed, she is also confused, why do she follow Gu Jiu's idea. If you really get it, it's okay, but now not only did you not get any benefits, but you were also beaten down by a junior with a gun and a stick.

I can't say anything yet!

Seeing that Old Madam Qin was angry, Fang Qing couldn't care that he was still holding back his breath, and hurriedly coaxed Old Madam Qin, while thinking about how to avenge today's revenge.

The eyebrows and eyes of the two people in this room, Gu Jiu didn't bother to think about it, she always came back to cover up the water, and she didn't plan to stay with Qin Zheng for a long time, and she was afraid that she would offend these women in the house?

It's just that he didn't want to, Gu Jiu just left Rongchun Hall, and saw someone enjoying the flowers under the corridor next to him.

It was the third lady Wang who invited An.

Gu Jiu didn't have much contact with her in her previous life, but at this time, she was standing on her own path, and it was not good to walk over directly, so Gu Jiu stopped and saluted: "Third aunt." ”

Hearing her voice, the third lady Wang turned around and said gently, "Get up." ”

She looked at Gu Jiu's expression, and said with a smile: "Fang was just inside, but I wronged you." ”

Hearing this, Gu Jiu pursed his lips and smiled, and said, "Don't be wronged." ”

Wang gave her a "I understand" look, sighed, and said with a distressed smile: "It just so happens that I have nothing to do in the morning, go sit with me, let's chat?" ”

Gu Jiu didn't want to have much to do with her, so he refused with a smile: "Thank you for your kindness, it's just that I still have something to do today, and I will definitely visit you another day." ”

Hearing this, the Wang family didn't keep her much, and said, "It's okay, you can go and get busy." ”

She stood in place for a while, seeing Gu Jiu's background disappear into the corridor, before taking the maid back to her courtyard.

The three-room residence is remote, and there are not many maids and women along the way, and the eldest maid Chuntao can't help but whisper: "This lady of the world looks at it as a powerful person, but it's a pity that she is a merchant girl, and her mother's family has no power, and no one supports her." ”

Hearing this, Wang smiled meaningfully and said, "What's the use of having someone to support you?" To live here, you have to have brains. ”

Judging from the appearance that she dared to secretly talk to Mrs. Qin today, I am afraid that she is spoiled by her family, and her brain is not very bright.

But......

If you don't have a good brain, you're better at manipulating, isn't it?

Wang didn't know what he thought, and smiled contemptuously, his eyebrows and eyes were full of calculations, and he no longer had the gentleness he had before.

……

After going back, Gu Jiu changed into light clothes and went out.

Baizhu didn't worry about her alone, and wanted to follow, but Gu Jiu refused, and only smiled and instructed: "You guys are guarding at home, and I'll be back at noon." ”

She went to the yamen to listen to the trial today, Baizhu is a timid girl, and she doesn't know what to talk to herself about when she looks back.

Her own young lady was resolute, and Baizhu had to agree, and watched her out of the weeping flower gate with great worry.

Because of the delay in the previous greeting, when I arrived at the palace, the hall had already opened.

This old Taoist priest is suspected of murder, so today is a public trial, the people are not many onlookers, but there are three or four floors, when Gu Jiu arrived, he was listening to the officials in the hall and patted the hall in shock: "Suspect Zhuangzi period, you pretended to be a Taoist priest to swagger and deceive first, rape and murder of the flower girl Peony later, the official asked you, are you guilty?" ”

Today's old Taoist priest is wearing a prison robe, which is a little neater than before, but his face is as white as paper, and he is angry when he speaks: "The grass people have not been swaggered and deceived, and the other has not raped and killed the flower girl, and the adults have been convicted with red mouths and white teeth, and the grass people do not admit it!" ”

When Gu Jiu saw the official in the hall, he frowned first.

She recognized that person was the commander of the Nancheng Soldiers and Horses, named Zhaozhou. Earlier, because the Gu family had a shop in Nancheng, he also used to fight the autumn breeze.

Such a person came to try the case, which made Gu Jiu's heart suddenly hang.

"Zhuangzi period, do you still dare to quibble until now?"

Zhao Zhou's hand slapped heavily on the table, and said in a deep voice: "There are all human and material evidence, but you can't deny it." Come on, bring someone with a card! ”

As his words fell, he saw that the officials brought up a middle-aged woman with heavy makeup.

The woman was the old bustard of Yichun Courtyard, and she kowtowed flatteringly: "The women knock to see the adults." ”

Zhao Zhou pointed to the corpse covered by a white cloth on the ground and asked, "You come to confirm again, this person is the flower girl of your Yichun Courtyard?" ”

The officials uncovered the white cloth, and the old bustard trembled with fright, and his voice trembled: "Lord Hui, it is my daughter Peony." ”

Yichun Courtyard is not big, there are five or six flower girls in it, and they are all bought and raised by the bustard, and they are usually called daughters.

However, at this time, this daughter was obviously a little scared of her.

The body had been left there for two days, and although it was early spring, it already smelled. The exposed face was covered with corpse spots, and the pale appearance was particularly scary to look at.

Although he had been identified once before, when he saw it again, the old bustard was still frightened and his legs and stomach were weak.

She took a deep breath and calmed down a little before continuing: "The night before yesterday, this old Taoist priest came in through the back door, saying that he wanted to find a flower girl for fun, and named the peony. Originally, I was unwilling, after all, the beauty of peony, usually accompanied by people with some money, who knew that he took two taels of silver out, I saw the money for a while, and agreed that he took the peony out. ”

When the old bustard said this, he cried again: "But who knew that this person who killed a thousand knives actually killed a peony!" My hard-working daughter, how can I be buried in the hands of such a bad old man......"

Before she finished speaking, she heard Zhuangzi Qi roaring angrily: "It's nonsense, this is all slander!" I've never been to any Goolan Academy, and I don't know what kind of daughter you are, my lord, it's all her words! ”

His forehead was blue and his eyes were red with anger, but because he was controlled by the officials, he couldn't even move.

Seeing his almost crazy appearance, the old bustard was so frightened that he took a step back, but accidentally kicked the corpse, and his legs and stomach became weaker and more frightened, and he sat on the ground with his buttocks.

Her series of actions aroused the half-uncovered white cloth of the corpse, revealing her completely in front of everyone.

Gu Jiu had already squeezed in front of the crowd before, and at this time he was facing the female corpse, a few meters away, but he really looked at her.

The woman's clothes were torn, and there were still traces of abuse on her skin, and the swelling of the corpse made the criss-crossing even more shocking.

Gu Jiu only glanced at it, and instantly felt that her scalp was numb, but before she could take her eyes away, she was attracted by something, and instantly froze in place as if someone had poured a basin of ice water.

The earrings hanging from the earlobes of the female corpse......

She's seen it!
