Chapter 368: The Despair of the British Duke (1)

The mother-in-law said loudly: "My lord, my daughter's life and death are unknown when she is pregnant with a child, and the Cheng family has nothing to do with it!" Where is Cheng Xuefeng? I'm going to confront him! ”

Before Zhong Zhaoyang could speak, Qian Qin'e frowned slightly: "This lady doesn't know anything." Cheng Gongzi is far away in Shuzhong, how can he confront you? ”

"Then please summon him back! Don't do bad things, don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door. The mother-in-law kowtowed and said, "If I wronged him, I will kowtow to him and apologize!" ”

Qianqin covered her sleeves and chuckled: "What you said is not right, isn't it urgent to find your daughter's whereabouts?" What's the use of you being in a hurry to confront Cheng Xuefeng? Can he conjure your daughter? Besides, he rushed back to the capital from Shuzhong, a thousand miles away, not to mention a month or two away! Even if you confront him, what can he do if he doesn't admit you? ”

The mother-in-law said loudly: "I have his jade medal as proof." ”

Qianqin smiled: "That may also be stolen by you." ”

"Y-you're spewing blood!"

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel in the court, Lord Zhong shouted: "Enough! ”

Qianqin hurriedly made an apology: "Qianqin is informable, I hope you will forgive me." ”

Zhong Zhaoyang's face softened slightly, and he said to his mother-in-law: "Miss Qianqin's words also make sense. You said that the son of the Cheng family and your daughter had a secret marriage, but can there be a medical case or a doctor's certificate? ”

The mother-in-law wiped her tears and said: "My daughter is pregnant before marriage, and she can't hide it, how dare she find a doctor?" ”

Zhong Zhaoyang asked again: "Then your daughter and Cheng Gongzi know each other, can anyone testify?" ”

The mother-in-law had a bitter face: "They are secretly corresponding, and they even hide it from me, who do I go to testify?" ”

Zhong Zhaoyang laughed: "Then it's a little troublesome." Now you have no document, and you have no physical evidence. With just one mouth, it can't be convicted of the Cheng family! ”

The mother-in-law was stunned for a moment, and cried loudly: "My hard-working daughter! You've been murdered for nothing! I advised you earlier, don't come to the capital, you don't listen! insisted that Cheng Xuefeng was sincere to you, but now there are two lives in one corpse, and the death is unknown! How are you going to let me live in the futureβ€”"

Bang bang! Zhong Zhaoyang patted Tangmu and said angrily: "You mother-in-law is so unreasonable!" Your daughter entered Cheng Mansion in the evening, and it was only an hour between her disappearance. If the Cheng family murdered your daughter during this period, where is the body? The officer has searched the process house and has not found the body. If the Cheng family transported the body outside for disposal, the official also conducted a thorough investigation, and there were no slaves and carriages and horses out of the Cheng family that night. Why do you insist that your daughter is dead? ”

The mother-in-law was extremely aggrieved and called: "My lord, my daughter has been missing for two days, and she has such a hidden feeling. If it weren't for the Cheng family's murder, I can't think of any other reason! She paused, "Although Cheng Xuefeng is far away in Shu, he can't stay out of it. My lord, he should be summoned back to Beijing to stand trial and confront me! ”

How could local officials leave their posts without the emperor's edict? If Cheng Xuefeng is to be recalled, then Zhong Zhaoyang must submit the case to the emperor and ask His Majesty to order the recall of people back to Beijing. In this way, shouldn't this case make a fuss and be known to the whole world?

Zhong Zhaoyang smiled slightly, and said calmly: "There is no need for Cheng Xuefeng to return to Beijing to confront this case. ”

The mother-in-law was stunned again: "Why? ”

"First, he is not in Beijing, and the Cheng family has no time to contact him. Even if the Cheng family murdered your daughter, the murder has nothing to do with him. Second, your daughter's body has not been found, so she can only be considered missing. The most important thing now is to find your daughter as the Lord. What is the reason why you always talk about Cheng Xuefeng? He waved his sleeves, "Go back, and within three days, there will be news of your daughter!" ”

The mother-in-law pursed her lips and smiled reluctantly: "It would be best if my daughter lived, but-"

"Why, you can't wait for three days? Do you want the official to convict the Cheng family without evidence or evidence? ”

Seeing that Lord Yin was angry, the mother-in-law didn't dare to say anything more, so she had to retreat.

In Songzhu Zhai, Qianqin told Bai Tang about the experience of going to the hall one by one, took a sip of tea and moistened his throat, and said strangely: "Childe, why do you want Qianqin to go on this trip?" ”

Bai Tang sighed lightly: "I am the backer of Xianle Fang." Your appearance in Shuncheonfu has already shown that I am meddling in this matter. ”

Qianqin's black pearl-like beautiful eyes lit up slightly: "Are you reminding the people behind the scenes?" ”

"If he had been wise, he should have stopped. If you insist on going your own way, don't blame Xu San for being ruthless. "Bai Tang took out the stacked scores." Go back and practice well. ”

Qianqin was surprised and delighted: "So many tunes?!" ”

Bai Tang said lightly: "It's enough for you to practice for half a year." ”

Qianqin was stunned: "What, what does Childe mean, Xianle Fang still has to rest for half a year?" ”

Bai Tang nodded. Because the fourth emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Ming Renzong, died suddenly after only eight months of reign! It's almost time, and the people have to keep filial piety for another three months!

Qianqin listened to Bai Tang's words: "Whatever the son says, let's do it!" ”

In the evening, Xu San took Bai Tang home as usual.

Bai Tang saw the excitement on his face, and there was a little anger in his excitement, and he couldn't help asking, "Is the matter done?" ”

Xu San heaved: "If we make a move, can we still let them escape?" After being arrested, he confessed to his family before he tried it. Shun Teng touched Zhang Bozhong's henchmen. I have given the confession to the British Princess. ”

In the case of the Cheng family, if there is really a mastermind behind the scenes, Bai Tang expects that after the trial is finalized, someone will definitely spread rumors to slander the Cheng family and make the matter bigger. forced Cheng Xuefeng to go back to Beijing to confront Zhang Bozhong's intentions, even if this case can't be done, it is bound to be unfavorable to him! So you can't let Xue Feng come back! Therefore, Xu San had already ambushed people in various teahouses and wine shops, and caught turtles in Weng. As a result, he really caught several people!

After they drew a confession, Xu San took the confession and went directly to the British duke.

At that time, the British were training on the battlefield, and when he saw Xu San riding a red pearl, his face was so frosty that he could drop ice slag, and he asked the deputy general next to him with a disapproving smile: "This kid, who offended him again?" ”

When Xu San stuffed a stack of papers into his hand, he glanced at it a few times inexplicably, his expression slowly became solemn, and the back of his hand burst into green tendons, and he almost couldn't control tearing these papers!

He forcibly put away the guilt calmly, took Xu San to no one's place, turned around and drew his sword and pointed it at his heart, gritting his teeth and shouting: "Xu Qiu'an! How has my British government ever offended you?! You're going to frame Bo Zhong like this?! ”

Xu San glanced at Xue Feng's silver blade and said coldly: "Did I frame your son, you can go back and ask him to know." ”

"Impossible!" The British public hated it very much, "What reason does he have to frame his own family?" ”

"Why?" Xu San couldn't help but sneer, "There is a Puyu Nunnery in the outer city. See for yourself. ”

Puyuan?!

When Cheng Xuewu had an accident, the British Duke was on an expedition. After coming back, I only vaguely heard about her leaving the house to practice. At that time, my heart was beating, but when I came home to see my son, there was nothing unusual, and I always thought that he had taken his heart back from Xuewu. So I didn't pay much attention to it. Now listening to Xu San's words, how can the British public be a popular person, how can they bear it? Immediately summoned a mount and rushed to Puyuan alone.
