When the carriage arrived, there was already a circle of people in front of Kaifeng Mansion, all holding peas and fried rice. This New Year's month has just passed, and the snacks eaten for the New Year have not been eaten yet!

The people in this village have to farm in the spring, thinking about farming, and the big families have to prepare to go out to look for flowers, and hesitate to feast a few times, but the ordinary people in this Tokyo city are all small rich families, and they are idle and have nothing to do, so they can just stare at Kaifeng Mansion to see the excitement?

"Auntie, what kind of case is it today! It's already started, we're late! ”

Xie Jingyi said, the light car familiar Ruth stuffed the lady with a handful of dried longan, the lady glanced at it, and immediately was happy, and gave a handful of fried soybeans back and forth, "Niu Yanei fell into the river yesterday and drowned, that is a great character." ”

"His grandfather was a soldier. Niu Ya is very skilled, and he can also water, not to mention floating on the water and stepping on driftwood to cross the river, so it is okay to do it, how can he drown in a good manner? I'm afraid I didn't kill someone! ”

Xie Jingyi listened, and gave half of the fried soybeans to Guan Huizhi, "It may be that I drank too much, wasn't it the Shangyuan Festival yesterday...... In any year's holiday, there are not a few ghosts in the water. ”

Without waiting for the lady to speak, an uncle with a bird cage on the side hurriedly said, "No, no! Everyone said it, but they didn't drink it! Don't talk, it's time to hear Lord Qingtian judge the case! ”

Xie Jingyi's eyes moved, and he gave him a handful of red dates, "I'm sorry, we came late, I didn't listen." ”

Seeing her politeness, the uncle touched his beard, "I think that person is a murderer!" ”

Xie Jingyi followed his line of sight, only to see that the man was also looking at her, and rolled his eyes decisively, "Which one is that?" ”

The uncle lowered his voice, "It's Niu Xiaoyan's brother, don't you say that in this play, brothers fight for property or something......"

Xie Jingyi smiled and said nothing, listening carefully.

Now the kneeling in the hall is the little servant beside Niu Zhu, the one they saw just yesterday, the wailing servant, called Niu Twelve.

"Yesterday, on the Shangyuan Festival, when our son passed by the Big Skull Teahouse, he was smashed on the head with wood by the lord of Shougao, and the two almost fought. We chased the lord of Shougao and chased several streets, but we didn't catch up...... Childe was angry...... Angry ......"

Huangfu Yin snapped and shook the ground, "Don't swallow and spit out." What's next? ”

Niu Twelve wiped his tears, "Childe went to ......"

As he spoke, he secretly glanced at a beautiful woman who was sitting next to him, crying uncontrollably, it was Niu Zhu's mother.

"Childe went to Mrs. Hong's."

Mrs. Niu was stunned for a moment, and wiped her tears with a handkerchief, "Which cheap maid is Mrs. Hong?" ”

Niu Twelve cried whining, "Hong Niangzi...... Hong Niangzi is the outer room that the son raised outside. Madam, Mrs. Hong is Hong Baoling. ”

Mrs. Niu stood up violently and glared at Niu Twelve, "Don't ......"

Without waiting for her words to finish, Huang Fu Yin slapped the shocked wood again, "Mrs. Niu, you white-haired people send black-haired people, you are very sad, this mansion can understand, but you have already found out that Niu Zhu was poisoned with arsenic before he was thrown into the river." It belongs to homicide, and this case is a life lawsuit, which is under the management of Kaifeng Prefecture. Although Niu Twelve is a servant of your Niu family, he is also a crucial witness in this case. ”

"If you dare to intimidate witnesses again, then the government will punish you for the crime of disturbing the court."

As he spoke, he glanced at Xie Jingyi, and then looked at Niu Twelve, "Go on." Hong Baoling is the last person to see Niu Zhu? ”

Niu Twelve nodded, "That Hong Baoling is the daughter of a criminal official." In the early years, my wife once intended to say Hong Baoling to my son-in-law as his wife. Later, the Hong family was in trouble, and Hong Baoling was originally going to be a military prostitute. ”

But Gongzi had a friendship for her, so he did something to save Hong Baoling and raise him in another courtyard. Say...... said that when Hong Baoling gave birth to a son, he begged his wife to give her an identity and marry her home. ”

Niu Twelve said, glanced at Mrs. Niu, and continued, "Hong Baoling just gave birth to a daughter to her son at the end of last year. Childe didn't chase after the lord of Shougao, so he turned around and went to Furong Lane. ”

As soon as she entered, Hong Baoling had a big quarrel with her son, and she also said that if her son failed her, she would kill her son. The little one persuaded the son to go back to the house, but the son refused, but said that on the fifteenth day of the first month, he asked me to go back to my home and eat rice balls with my mother, and wait for the next morning to pick him up. ”

"When he lived in Furong Lane, he often didn't want me to serve him. Yesterday was fifteen ...... I...... It was my mistake, if I hadn't left, our son might not have died. ”

Niu Twelve said, wiped his tears, and kowtowed to Mrs. Niu, "Early this morning, I went to pick up my son, but I didn't want to, but I didn't want to pass by the river, so I saw a bunch of people surrounding a corpse, and when I came over to see it, it was my son-in-law...... Childe! Childe! ”

Huang Fu Yin slapped the hall and shook the wood, and the official knocked on the killing stick, and the hall suddenly became silent.

"Go to Furong Lane, Tihong Baoling", Huang Fuyin said, and looked at Niu Twelve again, "Niu Zhu has enemies on weekdays?" ”

Without waiting for Niu Twelve to speak, a servant hurriedly walked in, "My lord, don't mention that Hong Baoling, someone just reported that there was a Hong lady in Furong Lane who committed suicide by throwing herself into a well." The body was found by the housekeeper. ”

As he spoke, he led a woman with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes to the fore, who was dressed in a blue cloth jacket, and who was obviously frightened.

When I saw Huang Fu Yin, I was even more frightened, and I knocked my head a few times, "Zhao Xiaoli, a folk woman, works as a servant in Hong Niangzi's house, mainly doing kitchen work. Early this morning, I want to get up to make morning food for my lady and go to the well to fetch water. ”

But I found ...... I found out that my lady had thrown herself into a well. Adult, adult, I don't know what's going on, Hong Niangzi wears gold and silver, she is young, she just gave birth to a child, and I don't know why she died! ”

Huang Fuyin frowned, "Last night, did you see Niu Zhu at Lady Hong's house?" ”

Zhao Xiaoli nodded, "I've seen it, I prepared wine and food, and then took the child away." My family lives not far from Furong Lane, and Niu Yanai doesn't like children to cry all the time, saying that they are annoying. When he came, Mrs. Hong asked me to take the child to the house. ”

"I took the baby away and came back the next morning to make a morning meal...... Don't want to...... My lord, my lord, I really don't know what's going on! ”

Xie Jingyi listened with relish, took out a handful of chestnuts and handed them to Guan Huizhi on the side.

Guan Huizhi lifted Xie Jingyi's sleeve in surprise, "Is your sleeve a rat hole?" How can you fit so much food? ”

Xie Jingyi shook his hands, "I'm thin!" ”

Guan Huizhi rolled her eyes speechlessly.

When the little milk dog Qingle saw it, he immediately stood up and roared.
