Chapter 367: The Storm Rises (4)

Miss Xu is a cheerful person, and she didn't say anything: "Qiu An asked me to inform the two of you in a hurry that the pregnant woman couldn't stay at Cheng's house." Send it to Suncheonfu as soon as possible, and ask Lord Zhong to take care of it. ”

Cheng Lan was excited: Why is Xu Qiu'an even in charge of his own affairs?!

"That woman didn't know who instructed her to frame Xue Feng." Xu Ling hurriedly said, "We must not let her succeed!" ”

The couple came back to their senses and immediately rushed to the place where the woman was placed with Xu Ling. When they opened the door, they saw that the room was empty, and the girl had disappeared without a trace!

"Where are you?" Madame Wang hurriedly reprimanded the maidservant who was guarding outside the house.

The maid looked dazed: "It's inside." Never came out! ”

Xu Ling was so shocked that her face was gloomy - it was late, but she was still calculated!

Cheng family, this time I really have a mouth and can't tell clearly!

Xu Ling immediately decided: "No matter what, go to Shuntianfu to report the case first!" We can't let them make a big deal out of you before they do! ”

Cheng Lan also hated the people who murdered his own family, and said angrily: "I don't believe it, Lang Lang Qiankun, my Cheng family is innocent, and people can still be wronged!" Madam, let's go to Shuntianfu! ”

Lord Yin Zhong of Shuntian Mansion listened to what Cheng Cheng said, and personally inspected the scene, and he was very interested! This case is interesting!

"If you follow what the two said, in a few days, someone will beat the drum and report the crime." Zhong Zhaoyang stroked his beard, "It's okay." There is Mrs. Lao Cheng, first help me draw a picture of this woman and post it to find someone. ”

Sure enough, as Lord Zhong expected, two days later, a mother-in-law cried and cried outside the Shuntian Mansion and beat drums and voiced grievances, saying that her daughter was gone, and it was very likely that she had been harmed!

Lord Zhong asked her to recognize the portrait, and she almost fainted when she rolled her eyes: "My lord, it's my daughter." I wonder where she is now? She's still pregnant with a baby in her belly! ”

Master Zhong took the portrait and asked, "You are her mother, and tell me, where are you from and why did you come to the capital?" ”

The mother-in-law finally stopped crying, and said intermittently: "The old woman and her daughter Mei Niang are from Luoyang, Henan. At the beginning of this year, Mei Niang met a handsome boy and made a private decision for life without me. ”

Lord Zhong frowned: "Can you have the name and excuse of that son?" "Secretly calculating the time in my heart, Cheng Xuefeng will go to Shuangliu County to take office after the New Year, is he passing through Henan?

"My lord, he claims to be the son of the Cheng family in the capital. When I left my daughter, I gave her a Shoushan stone seal as a token. Come to the next job at the appointed time. Who knew that my daughter had waited for him for three months and was nowhere to be seen, but she was pregnant. Mei Niang only knew that he was from the capital, so she came to the capital to look for him! ”

"Where is the seal?"

The old woman cried and took out a brocade bag from her arms: "The seal is here." ”

Lord Zhong untied the bag, and there was indeed a superb Shoushan stone seal like yellow runrun chicken fat, and there were four words engraved on the seal: Cheng Xuefeng seal.

Zhong Zhaoyang thinks that the Cheng family is too old this year!

Why is it that all the bad luck is on the head of his family?

Cheng Xuefeng's young man is a rare character in the capital with good conduct and good learning, I have never heard of him messing with flowers and grass, who knew that as soon as he came, a terrible poisonous peach blossom came!

Zhong Zhaoyang subconsciously grinded the seal: "What does that young man look like, do you remember?" ”

The old woman cried, "I am old and dizzy, but if he stands before me, I will recognize him!" ”

Zhong Zhaoyang frowned, that is why he can't draw a shadow touro?

"My lord, where the hell is my daughter? She said the day before yesterday that she wanted to find Cheng's family to ask for an understanding, but she didn't know that there would be no news as soon as she went. My lord, is the son of the Cheng family available? I'm going to confront him! ”

Cheng Xuefeng is far away in Sichuan, how to confront her?

The girl was lost againβ€”

"Your Excellency!" The mother-in-law's face suddenly turned pale, and she asked in horror, "Could it be that my daughter has an accident in the Cheng family-"

Zhong Zhaoyang frowned: "After your daughter entered the Cheng family, she disappeared that night. It was the Cheng family who reported the case, and the official drew a picture to search around. ”

The mother-in-law's eyes slowly widened, and she screamed: "How can a good person suddenly disappear?!" This, this must be the Cheng family's dissatisfaction with my daughter's private agreement with their young master and finally conceived a child again, so they killed people! Your Excellency, you are the master of me, my lord! Mei Niang, you died so unjustly! ”

The officials in the palace exchanged glances with each other, and they all looked at Zhong Zhaoyang: This case is really difficult to judge.

Lord Zhong said coldly: "Before you see the corpse, you must not talk nonsense." ”

"My lord, what else do you not understand?" The woman patted the ground and cried tears, "What a ruthless Lord Cheng! You can't spare a defenceless pregnant woman, my poor daughter! ”

Zhong Zhaoyang was about to shoot Tangmu, when he suddenly heard a report from the officer: "Lord Zhong, someone outside has come to report the case." ”

"Report the crime? What to report? ”

"She said she knew the person on the picture you sent!"

Zhong Zhaoyang was stunned, and the mother-in-law was also stunned, and when she stopped crying, she involuntarily turned her head to look out.

"Pass him in."

Another recognizer. Interesting.

The woman's face was a little blue, and she stared at the visitor hesitantly and nervously.

A young girl dressed in a cherry blossom long skirt walked into the hall with a curvy posture.

"Xianle Fang Qianqin greets your lord."

The officials couldn't help frowning: What about the Qianqin girl in Xianle Fang!

It's rare to see it in normal times, but today it's actually in court!

Zhong Zhaoyang said strangely: "Qianqin girl." You say you recognize the woman in the picture? ”

Qianqin bowed her head lightly: "Exactly." ”

"Who is she?"

"Your Excellency. At the beginning of this year, the little woman was looking for someone, so she had a trip to Jiangnan. The woman in the portrait looks quite like Liu Ying'er, a courtesan I saw in Yangzhou. ”

The mother-in-law was shocked and said angrily: "You are talking nonsense! That's obviously my daughter Wu Meiniang! ”

Qianqin glanced at her lightly: "This lady." There are so many people in the world who look alike. I'm just telling adults that I've seen people who resemble the people in the picture. As for whether it's her or not, I have to ask the adults to decide. ”

Zhong Zhaoyang smiled.

The mother-in-law was speechless for a while, and said hurriedly: "My daughter and I live in the inn, and the innkeeper is the proof!" ”

Qianqin smiled: "Those who are traveling with me can also testify." She looked at the woman, "But you, don't look like the daughter in the portrait at all!" ”

The mother-in-law's face turned white: "My daughter is like a father, what is there to say!" ”

Qianqin sighed and said, "My lord." The slave was looking for someone who could sing well in Yangzhou, and Liu Ying'er's singing voice was like a warbler's cry, so she was invited to come to Xianle Fang in the capital to join in. She promised me to come looking for me afterwards, and I counted the time, and it was time for me to arrive. Who knew that I saw her portrait on the street, sir, what's wrong with Liu Ying'er? Is something wrong? ”

Zhong Zhaoyang straightened his beard: This is a spoiler!
