Before Song Jin could continue to think about it, the shopkeeper glanced at Song Jin coldly, she felt that Song Jin was extraordinary, and she was wearing a brocade dress, what kind of girl from a dignitary family should be.

It's just that since she is a girl from a dignitary's family, how could she come to Siping Street, where the people gather, to ask her an old woman for the news of He Zhong next door?

Could it be that the girl in front of him is really He Zhong's concubine?

"Girl, let's be honest, He Zhong and I have been neighbors for more than ten years. I thought that his wife was dead, there was no continuation, he was a rare infatuated person, and he was pulling his daughter alone for so many years, and it was not easy, and I would often come over to help their father and daughter. ”

"He Zhong looked like an honest man on the surface, and he didn't have any bad intentions, but he didn't expect him to secretly hook up with the maid of the Duke of Xu's mansion, and also instigated the maid to marry him, but later he repented and killed the maid in front of the store."

"When the rooster crowed this morning, I heard the cry of the woman outside while lying in the house, which must have been the maid who was coaxed by He Zhong."

Looking at the mother-in-law in front of her, if Song Jin didn't believe in He Zhong's character, I am afraid that even she herself would believe that the maid was killed by He Zhong.

He Zhong is a hard-working and capable person, he misses his deceased wife in his heart, and he also loves his daughter very much, which is why he has not continued for so many years.

Therefore, Song Jin believes that the killing of the maid of the Duke of Xu's Mansion will never be committed by He Zhong, and someone must have deliberately planted the blame on He Zhong in order to retaliate.

And the person who framed He Zhong, thinking with his toes, knew that it was Xu Hui!

She didn't expect that Xu Hui would be such a person who held a grudge and would take revenge so quickly.

But she is not afraid, just a Xu Hui, she has not taken it seriously.

Song Jin glanced at the pock-faced woman in front of her, this mother-in-law's mouth was not ordinary, and she didn't know if she saw it with her own eyes or not.

I'm afraid that this mother-in-law in front of me told those quick officials in Shuntian Mansion that those people would take He Zhong away, right?

She really wanted to slam the mother-in-law a few times, so that she could speak well, and shut up if she couldn't speak, thinking about the original owner's original words and deeds, Song Jin did not make such a bold move.

But the pock-faced woman in front of her, she won't let her go so easily.

Song Jin had a faint smile on his face and smiled at the mother-in-law.

"Dare to ask the shopkeeper, did you see He Zhong kill with your own eyes, or did you hear others say that He Zhong killed that maid?"

"Also, don't you get up early in the morning to open the shop, huddle in the house, and listen to the rooster?"

When Song Jin said this, the mother-in-law was immediately speechless, but fortunately, there was no one else in the incense and candle shop at this time, otherwise the mother-in-law would be really embarrassed.

The pock-faced woman wanted to speak, but paused for a few moments before she spoke.

"Girl, although I haven't seen He Zhong kill that maid with my own eyes, I haven't heard others say that He Zhong killed that maid."

"But when I sit in the store and watch the store on weekdays, I have seen the maid and He Zhong eyebrows, and at first glance, there is a ghost in my heart, otherwise it would not, every time He Zhong sees her, she is sneaky."

After explaining Song Jin's first question, the mother-in-law explained the second one.

"Girl, dare to ask you what kind of official you are in Shuntianfu? You have to take care of the fact that the old woman can't get up to open a shop, and you have to take care of the matter of sleeping in the house, you are really lenient! ”

However, Song Jin looked at the mother-in-law in front of him, and when he spoke, he was no worse than the old mothers who had been serving in the house for many years!

But since she has the heart to teach the mother-in-law a lesson, she will not be cowardly.

"Since the shopkeeper didn't see He Zhong kill with his own eyes, how can he assert that He Zhong killed people?"

"If this case is investigated to the end, and it is not He Zhong who killed the murderer, then the shopkeeper, you will be responsible for saying these words!"

As soon as Song Jin's words fell, the pock-faced woman was a little hesitant on her face, as if she couldn't get the idea in her heart.

It is true that she did not see He Zhong kill people with her own eyes, but she said this to the officials of the arrest department, could it be that she asked herself to tell the government that she said the wrong thing and the government arrested the wrong person?

But she confessed like this, and she was the one who went to prison at that time, and I was afraid that the government would not spare her at that time.

Song Jin also saw the hesitation on the mother-in-law's face, and knew that she must be wavering in her heart now, and she wanted to give the mother-in-law a head-on blow.

"Shopkeeper, if you honestly explain it to the government and make it clear, He Zhong will not be arrested, now that you know the inside story, you don't want to say it, I'm afraid that the government will punish you together."

Hearing the words "the government punishes crimes", the mother-in-law immediately weakened her legs and almost fell down.

grabbed the bamboo chair next to him in time, and the mother-in-law sat on the bamboo chair.

"Girl, if I tell the truth, will the government give me a lenient sentence?"

As soon as the mother-in-law said this, Song Jin knew that her psychological defense line had been broken by herself, and now as long as the mother-in-law told the truth, she could help He Zhong prove her innocence.

However, what is the inside story of this matter, she still needs to investigate carefully.

Song Jin walked out of the incense and candle shop, glanced at the white silk shop with the door closed behind him, sighed secretly in his heart, and finally got into the carriage prepared for Song Jin by the Li steward of the silk village.

Seeing that Song Jin got into the carriage, he didn't speak, Bai He thought that his girl was thinking about things, so he didn't bother, and instructed the coachman to turn the head of the car and prepare to go home.

"Girl, if something like this happens in the White Silk Workshop, the girl still has to give it to Madame quickly. The maid who died in front of the white silk workshop, after all, was the maid of the Duke of Xu's mansion, even if it wasn't what he was doing, he should send someone to find out and give the Duke of Xu a fair hand. ”

Bai He spoke, and gently patted Song Jin's somewhat stiff shoulder. opened the food box and handed her the steaming scallion pancake in the food box.

"Girl, this scallion pancake is what the girl loves to eat, so hurry up and try it!"

Song Jin took the scallion pancake, but did not move.

Now she is still thinking about how to solve the matter of Bai Juanfang, where is she in the mood to eat onion pancakes?

Handing the scallion pancake to Bai He again, Song Jin leaned on the soft pillow behind him and gently closed his eyes.

The wheels spun around a few times and then stopped.

Song Jin was also woken up by this noise, opened his eyes, glanced at Bai He beside him, and asked.

"What's going on, why did the carriage stop again?"

Bai He didn't speak, but outside the carriage, there was a hearty voice, it was the voice of Wenshan, the long-term servant beside Chen Jinran.

"The second girl of the Song family, my son-in-law ordered me to come over, I have something to explain to the second girl!"

As Wenshan spoke, Bai He opened the curtain.

It's just that Wenshan didn't get into the car, but stood under the car and continued with Song Jin in the car.

"The second girl of the Song family, in that box are the embroidered shoes that my wife is used to wearing. My son-in-law once asked Miss Song Er to help my wife make a pair of shoes, but the girl didn't know my wife's size, so she asked me to send them to the girl. ”

"My son-in-law said that he also asked the second girl Song to start the construction earlier, if it is delayed for too long, it will not be good."

Bai He took the box handed over by Wen Shan, opened it and saw that it was indeed a pair of women wearing red embroidered shoes with a mandarin duck playing in the water.

Song Jin nodded, motioned to Bai He to accept the box, and continued to let the coachman set off.

Bai He put the box next to Song Jin, Song Jin leaned on it with one hand, and picked up the tea cup with the other, and put it down again before he had taken a few sips.

"When I go back, put the embroidered shoes in my embroidery basket, and if I am free, I will help Mrs. Chen make a pair of embroidered shoes."

"It's just that this matter is not allowed to be known to Mrs. and the master, if the lady and the master know, so much has happened between us and Chen Jinran, I am afraid that it will be impossible to say it when the time comes."

"Our family is bent on retiring from the Chen family, but we can't give birth to such a moth at this juncture, so that the plan of the lady and the eldest girl will fail."

Song Jin was afraid that Bai He didn't know what was at stake, so he told her a few more times.

Song Jin knew that in fact, long before he woke up, Father Song had already discussed with the Zhao family, Song Yun, and Song Qianxing, and returned the marriage between the original owner and the Chen family.

The Chen family has no intention of the original owner, coupled with the fact that the original owner eloped with Lian Mo, who would be willing to marry such a bold and reckless woman?

But Chen Jinran has already come to provoke her, and she can still avoid it in the future, otherwise the relationship between her and Chen Jinran will be clear, but it will be difficult.

Back in the Song Mansion, Bai He first took Song Jin back to his small courtyard, waited for Song Jin to bathe and change clothes, and then led Song Jin to Zhao's courtyard.

Zhao set up a futon in the house, and at this moment, Zhao was sitting cross-legged on the futon and meditating.

Mrs. Li moved an embroidery stool for Song Jin, and Song Jin saluted Zhao and sat on the embroidery stool.

The Zhao family didn't speak, and Song Jin didn't have to speak first, so he asked Mrs. Li beside him.

"Mother Li, how long will my mother sit in this meditation? Did she talk to any of you?"

Mrs. Li shook her head, obviously not knowing.

Even if she was serving Zhao by Zhao's side like this, she didn't know how long Zhao was going to meditate, and when would she have to wait?

Do you have to wait until it gets dark?

Glancing at the brilliant red sunset outside, it was still two or three hours before it was dark, could it be that she had to wait for another two or three hours?

Song Jin really wanted to raise his voice and call Zhao's marriage back, but he was afraid of offending her, so he could only kowtow lightly.

This cough seems to have pulled back the Zhao family, who was too void in soul travel.

"What's wrong with Jin'er? I heard you cough, aren't you sick?"

Zhao suddenly opened his eyes and startled Song Jin, who was sitting next to Zhao.

"Mother, Jin'er is not sick. Jin'er came over today to talk to her mother about what Bai Juanfang was doing. ”

"When I went to Siping Street to inspect today, someone told me that Steward He killed a maid in the Xuguo Mansion, and the person had been taken away by the officials of Shuntian Mansion, and he was in the prison of Shuntian Mansion at the moment."

Song Jin said, carefully observing the reaction of the Zhao family in front of him.

"This matter has been sent by Bai Juanfang to deliver the news, people are not in charge of killing, I sent someone over to deal with Shuntianfu. Since people are not in charge of killing, Shuntianfu will handle it impartially and will not wronged him. ”

Zhao's reaction was very weak, obviously he already had a way in his heart, so he didn't take this matter to heart.
