Lin coughed weakly a few times, and the lord of Nirui County saw that her body was too weak, so he asked her to sit and reply, Lin said thank you, and then helped her sit down by her mother-in-law, and the maid next to her saw that she was coughing badly, so she waited for her to take the pill.

"Where the people's women are weak and rude, they hope that the county will forgive their sins."

"Grandma, if you have anything to say, to put it bluntly, this county lord will not bother with you about these cumbersome etiquette."

"Yes."

Lin covered his lips with a handkerchief, coughed a few times, supported his only mental strength, looked at Xiao He who was kneeling on the ground, and pleaded for her.

"Xiaohe has been serving me for six years, I married into Hu Mansion at the age of fifteen, and she served by my side at that time, no one knows better than me what kind of character she is."

"Ahem, ahem, ahem--"

"Young Grandma ......"

"Xiaohe's father is indeed the bookkeeper in the house, he has always been the most trusted person by his father-in-law, what happened back then was just an accident, it was definitely not killed by his father-in-law, if the county lord doesn't believe it, you can go to check, and the housekeeper who traveled with him back then."

Xiaohe saw that the young grandmother was dragging her tired body to speak for her, and she had already burst into tears, so she hid her face and cried.

"Also, as for what this little guy said, just his testimony alone is not enough to prove that Xiao He killed his father-in-law, this silver hairpin is indeed Xiao He's, she did go to her father-in-law's yard that night, but she went for the people's women."

"Ahem, ahem, ahem--"

The eldest and youngest grandmother coughed non-stop, as if she was going to cough out her lungs, and the mother-in-law and maid who were waiting on the side were so anxious that they hurriedly asked someone to bring medicine.

The county lord of Nirui frowned, seeing that the Lin family was indeed very sick, he wanted her to rest, but the Lin family refused.

Xiaohe was grateful, wiped her tears, looked at Yu Zhuang on the side with cold and sad eyes, clenched her hands tightly, and saw that he didn't dare to look at herself, she smiled mockingly.

"At the beginning, my father said that you were not right-hearted and not worthy of trust, but I didn't believe it, but today, I see it clearly."

"Xiao, Xiaohe, even if you are my sweetheart, I can't shield you, murdering adults is a capital crime." Yu Zhuang's body trembled, and then he looked very sad.

"Hehe..."

Xiaohe sneered, "You said I killed the adult, but is there any evidence?" Have you seen me kill you? ”

"I, I ......"

"You told me that you want to avenge your father!"

"What am I telling you? Somebody can prove that I said that!" Xiaohe clenched his hands tightly and confronted Yu Zhuang.

"I ......"

"Smack--"

"Presumptuous!"

Lord Nirui laughed angrily, slammed the table fiercely, she pointed at Yu Zhuang and looked at Master Li, accusing him and saying, "This is the evidence you said!" It's so foolish to be the lord of this county! Or are you so sloppy in your investigation!"

"No, no, no......"

"Lord Nerui Mingcha! The lower officials, the lower officials are also ......" Lord Li knelt on the ground in panic and pleaded guilty.

"Shut up!"

"The county lord has the emperor's royal token in his hand, dare to fool the county lord, do you know that this is a capital crime!" The Ni Rui County Lord interrupted him impatiently, but looked at Yu Zhuang angrily.

Yu Zhuang's face turned pale with fright, and he hurriedly kowtowed, "Minion, how dare a slave fool the county master!" Yes, Xiaohe is the murderer who killed the adult! Otherwise, why would she still be in the adult's house at night? ”

"I told her to go!"

When everyone heard the sound, they walked out, only to see a handsome young man coming, he was Lord Hu's son-in-law, Hu Yingzhou.

He first saluted to the lord of Ni Rui, and then walked to the young grandmother with a worried face, and saw that she was too weak to stand up, so he hurriedly asked people to help her to rest. But Lin was very worried, Hu Yingzhou gave her a reassuring look, and Lin was willing to go back to the room.

"Lord Nirui, on the same day, I quarreled with my father, and when I returned to the room, I was always uneasy, and I went out that night. The insiders were worried about their father, so they asked Xiaohe to take a look, and the mother-in-law who was waiting in the house could prove it. Hu Yingzhou saluted to the lord of Nirui County.

When Yu Zhuang saw the eldest young master coming in, he was so frightened that he collapsed on the ground, not daring to say anything more. Master Li knew that Hu Yingzhou was the companion of the little prince, and he didn't dare to show off his official authority, so he stood aside and let the county lord Nirui interrogate.

"The imperial grandmother is very cautious about looking at people, since she will choose you to be the companion of the little prince, I think you are not a person of bad character, at least you can't do the crazy thing of killing your father, and the county lord doesn't care why you quarrel with Lord Hu."

The county lord of Nirui thought about it and said, seeing that he was behaving generously and frankly, he didn't look like a heinous person, but his father died, where did he go early in the morning when he was not in the mansion? It's just that she just wanted to say something, when she heard that An and the county lord came.

"Anhe!"

"See Lord Anhe!"

Seeing that Situ Yimo was finally here, the lord of Nirui County was also happy, but when he saw that she was still following Tang Wuchi, he was very curious, "Young Master Tang, are you here like this?" ”

"Master, I'll open my eyes and see the investigation skills of the two county lords." Tang Wuchi said with a smile, and as he spoke, he found a place to sit down.

Situ Yimo smiled helplessly, Gan Tang came over and told her about the general situation just now, Situ Yimo nodded to indicate that he was clear.

She looked at Master Li and asked, "Can the cause of Lord Hu's death be found?" ”

Master Li's face froze, and he was very embarrassed, "Yet, no, I'm investigating." ”

Situ Yimo raised his eyebrows, "The cause of death has not been investigated, can it be concluded that Xiaohe is the murderer?" ”

"This ......"

"If someone comes, he will be punished with a strong rod for forty years and put in prison." Situ Yimo simply commanded.

"The county lord spares his life! The county lord spares his life! ”

"The villain didn't lie! Xiaohe is the murderer of adults! Yu Zhuang's face was pale, and he bit Xiaohe is murderer.

Situ Yimo's face did not change, and his voice was still cool, "It is a big crime to deceive the county lord and lie about the evidence, since you haven't realized your mistake yet, it seems that you have less board, then you will be punished with eighty canes!"

"What are you doing! Drag it out immediately!"

"Yes!"

"The county lord spares his life!"

Yu Zhuang was dragged out by two guards, trembling with fright, and immediately begged for mercy, Eighty boards are for his life!

"County Lord! The villain knows that he is wrong! ”

"County Lord!"

"Bang--"

"Ahh

The people in the room were trembling when they heard Yu Zhuang's shouting, and they even lightened their breathing. But An He's face did not change, and he even said, "Why is the voice of the board so weak, haven't you all eaten?" ”

As soon as the sound fell, the sound of the board outside the house really became louder, like a bell, and everyone trembled.

"The county lord spares his life!"

"The villain knows it's wrong!"

"The villains are all recruited! It's Ge Qing, she made the villain say that! ”

The Nirui County Lord's eyes narrowed, and when he saw Situ Yimo nodding, he asked the guards to stop, and Yu Zhuang brought them in. Everyone saw that his back was bloody, the blood stains were soaked through his clothes, and he was a little nauseous, which showed that his hands were really heavy.

"You just said that Ge Qing asked you to slander Xiaohe? Is this true? ”

"It's true, the villain doesn't dare to talk nonsense anymore!"

"The lord of this county will believe you again, if you dare to deceive the lord of this county again, the lord of this county will let people cut off your fingers one by one!"

Yu Zhuang shuddered, and his voice trembled when he lay on the ground, "It's true, the villain doesn't dare to deceive, it was Ge Qing who gave the villain ten taels of silver, and asked the villain to blame Xiaohe for killing the adult, what the villain said is true!" ”

Situ Yimo motioned to the guards to arrest Ge Qing, but after waiting for a while, he heard that Ge Qing was not in the mansion, and no one had seen her since the morning.

"Ran away?" The county lord of Nirui was surprised, she had been sending people to guard Aunt Mo, how could she let Ge Qing run away?

"All the people in the house are looking for it?"

"Back to the county lord, I have searched for it, but I haven't found anyone with her."

Situ Yimo raised his eyebrows, "What about Aunt Mo?" ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw a woman with flowers and branches coming, her bewitching eyes glanced at Young Master Hu, and seeing that Young Master Hu ignored her, she squeezed the handkerchief in her hand, and then knelt on the ground to salute the two county lords.

"Concubines, see the county lord of Nirui, the county lord of Anhe."

Situ Yimo snorted coldly, "Aunt Mo, are you guilty?" ”

"Guilty?" Aunt Mo's charming appearance changed drastically, and she asked in a panic, "I don't know what the concubine is guilty of?" ”

"Ge Qing was recruited just now, Aunt Mo, are you still hard-mouthed?"

The county lord of Nirui was stunned for a moment, glanced at Situ Yimo, and then understood.

"Ge Qing said, it was Aunt Mo who asked her to go to West Street, find a person named Lin Mazi, buy the poison, and then let her put it in Master Hu's tonic soup, what's the matter, Aunt Mo doesn't plan to recruit it?" Situ Yimo said coldly.

Aunt Mo was stunned, and then she shouted with a white face, "The concubine is wronged!" The concubine never told Ge Qing to do this, what West Street, what Lin Mazi, the concubine didn't know! Although Ge Qing is the concubine's maid, the concubine really doesn't know what she does! ”

Subsequently, she began to angrily scold Ge Qing for being ungrateful.

Tang Wuchi looked at Situ Yimo quite interestingly, seeing that her expression was indifferent, if he hadn't been here just now, I'm afraid he would have believed Situ Yimo's words.

Hu Yingzhou glanced at Situ Yimo complicatedly, and saw that she looked very confident, she was stunned for a moment, and then cooperated, "Aunt Mo, your father treats you well, but you are cruel to your father!"

"No, no, uncle, there really isn't a concubine!" Aunt Mo's face turned pale, "It's all Ge Qing, she must have harmed the master, and then framed the concubine!" It must be this dead hoof! ”

"If she is a maid without the orders of her master, where does she have the courage to harm the court officials?" Situ Yimo said coldly, releasing some courage.

Aunt Mo seemed to think of something, as if she had grabbed a life-saving straw, "That dead hoof has a good look, and he lives on West Street!" Every time she comes back from outside, she has red dirt on her shoes! Also, every time she comes back, she gets ...... like that."

The words were here, and Aunt Mo remembered that the two county lords were boudoir women, so she accepted them, and said, "There are a lot of valuable jewelry, and not long ago, she was wearing a pearl hairpin." ”

"It must be her good key adult, who has nothing to do with the concubine!"

Situ Yimo gave Xing a look, motioned her to go to West Street, and then looked at Aunt Mo and said, "Since you know that Ge Qing is messing with people, why do you want to keep her by your side?" ”

"Concubine, Ge Qing is smart and clever, and she also has some connections outside, every time she comes back, she also knows that she respects her concubine, and the concubine will turn a blind eye."

Aunt Mo regretted her death in her heart, "But I really don't know about the dead hoof trying to kill adults!" ”
