Chapter Ninety-Nine: Murder
Mother Su strode over and screamed at Chu Yuqin, "You girl is so vicious. Actually kill people here with us. Murder is a matter of life! You can't kill the old master just because you complain about it! Luckily, our people reacted quickly, otherwise we would have let you escape. ”
"Mother Su, what do you mean? Who killed someone? How come I can't understand what you're saying? ”
Chu Yuqin looked at Su's mother warily.
There were other people rushing in from behind.
The leader is a rich and noble son, and there are men and women behind the son, and the women are the girls in the building, that is, Jasmine and others. The man he brought with him.
"She's the one who killed people? looks so beautiful, how can such a vicious heart dare to kill people here? ”
The rich boy looked at Chu Yuqin, his eyes full of pity.
"Son, this little woman used to be the maid of the Zheng family, and she had a grudge with Master Zheng for some reason. She was in Jasmine's room just now. Master Zheng is Jasmine's old friend again. Jasmine wasn't in the room, only she and Master Zheng were there. It must have been her killer to Master Zheng. ”
"Now that we've found out, let's arrest her! If the Zheng family asks, then they must also have an explanation. Otherwise, you won't be eaten by the Zheng family? ”
Although Chu Yuqin didn't know what was going on, he got a message from these people's conversations: Master Zheng is dead.
He died when he fell?
How can it be?
Before leaving, she was sure he had just passed out. More precisely, he was drunk and 'slept'.
If she hadn't been sure that he had no problem, would she have just left like this?
It's just that someone is calculating her.
"Wait a minute. I didn't kill Master Zheng. Are you a government? I was convicted without even checking it. ”
Zhu Han and Zhu Qian brothers stood in front of Chu Yuqin.
"Even if you want to investigate the case, it is a matter for the government, and it is not your turn to be the master. Our young lady is a weak woman, how can she kill Master Zheng? ”
"If it was a normal day, she would definitely not be able to. But Master Zheng was so drunk that even a three-year-old child was better than him. Jasmine's room is the only one in her, who else but her? Don't quibble. ”
Zhu Han looked at Chu Yuqin.
"Have you seen that Master Zheng?"
"Seeing is seeing, he got drunk and took me for Jasmine. I didn't bother with him, I found a way to shake him off and left. ”
"Now the man is dead. These people will certainly not listen to your explanations. They need a scapegoat to get rid of suspicion. It's useless to talk to them about more. ”
"What now? The county order is not a big man. If it falls into the hands of the government, can I still be innocent? I'm afraid it's even more unclear. ”
When the murder was discovered, Su's mother sent someone to inform the official as soon as possible. Now the official messenger has arrived and surrounded Chu Yuqin.
If Chu Yuqin still insists on leaving at this time, I am afraid that the official will not agree. But if you follow them to the government, you will have to shed your skin if you don't die.
"You go to Zheng Gongzi. Now only he can help me. ”
Chu Yuqin suddenly thought of Zheng Yuanheng.
Whether it is for the sake of the master and servant, or because of Ling Shengyi's relationship, with Zheng Yuanheng's temperament, he shouldn't be able to see death and not save him, right?
However, the one who died was his father. If he was too angry and didn't want to believe her, then she really jumped into the Yellow River and couldn't wash it.
"Good. Don't be nervous. We'll find a way to clear your name. Little brother, you have to find a way to check Master Zheng's body and see if you can find clues. I'll go to Zheng Gongzi first, at least buy more time for the eldest lady. ”
Zhu Qian looked at Chu Yuqin with the eyes of a fool.
"You're losing money on this business."
Chu Yuqin was no longer in the mood to respond to him.
Recently, there have been some water reversals, and no matter what you do, things are not going well.
However, if you don't die, there will be blessings. I just hope that her unlucky days will end soon. Otherwise......
When the Zhu brothers acted separately, Chu Yuqin was arrested and sent to the county office.
The county magistrate sat on the official chair, wearing an official uniform, and holding a shocking wood.
"Who's kneeling?"
Chu Yuqin stood there and replied, "My lord, the little woman's surname is Chu, and her name is Yuqin." ”
"Why don't you kneel when you see this official?"
Chu Yuqin did not have the habit of kneeling.
No modern person has the habit of kneeling.
However, people are under the eaves and have to bow their heads.
She knelt down and saluted again: "The little woman has seen an adult." ”
"Chu Yuqin, Mother Su and dozens of people all said that you killed the master of the Zheng Mansion. Is there such a thing? ”
Chu Yuqin responded crisply: "My lord, the little woman didn't kill anyone, please also ask the adults to be clear." ”
Although there is no hope for this prefectural order, what needs to be said is still to be said. There are so many people outside to listen to the trial, and she doesn't want to be framed by these people.
"You used to be the maid of the Zheng Mansion, and because you hated the old master, you killed the old master. Isn't it? ”
"It's not. The little woman did not kill anyone. ”
Chu Yuqin looked at the county order firmly.
The county order looks a little similar to that gentleman Zhang Gongzi.
It's just that he looks more cunning, and his eyes are always sneaking, and he doesn't know what to think.
When encountering such a faint official, it was not easy for Chu Yuqin to seek justice for himself. Now it depends on whether Zheng Yuanheng is willing to help her.
"In Jasmine's room, who else is there besides you and Master Zheng?" The prefectural order continued to press.
"There was no one else at the time. But I'm gone. Only Master Zheng was left. By the time I left, Mr. Zheng had fallen to the ground drunk, unconscious. ”
"It means that when you left, Master Zheng had no ability to resist you at all. You want to kill him, but he can't resist at all. ”
Su's mother, Jasmine, Peony, and a few maids are all standing in the lobby. In addition to them, there were also the rich man just now and a few others.
The rich and noble son saw that Zhang Xianling had been asking for a long time, and all the questions were 'nonsense', and he impatiently interrupted Zhang Xianling's interrogation.
"Master Zhang, what's the point of you asking this? This case is clear, besides her, who else will kill Master Zheng? ”
Chu Yuqin looked at the rich and noble son.
"This son, you keep saying that I killed you. What about the evidence? What was the murder weapon that killed Master Zheng? What evidence do I have left? ”
"The murder weapon is the candlestick. You killed Master Zheng with a candlestick. ”
Su's mother looked at Yahuan next to her.
"Present the murder weapon to your lordship."
"Mother Su, I have no grudge against you, why do you want to hurt me? Is this your face? A few days ago, they offered me as a bodhisattva. Now you want to take me for your guilt. After all, people die in your buildings. You are afraid of the Zheng family's revenge, so you pushed me out, right? ”
