Zhen?

Lei Jie looked over his head with a blank face.

"Zhen?" Zhong Zhaoyang encouraged him, "You go on." ”

The person who spoke was none other than Aunt Li: "My lord, Zhen is a local woman. Because her husband died early, her son became seriously ill. I had to sell my house and move to live in the city. Just moved in...... Ten days. The women were neighbors with her and had seen her several times. ”

"This Zhen, is there anyone else in the family?"

Aunt Li sighed lightly: "My lord." She's also a wretch. Just five days ago, her son, who had been sick for many years, died. I haven't seen her son since I buried her. It turned out that I couldn't think about it for a while, alas......"

Bai Tang suddenly opened his phoenix eyes: Zhen's?! A son who has been sick for years? It can't be that coincidental, right?!

A few days ago, I went to my house to go around Xia Yu, who was bought as a slave by Xu San, isn't his mother just Zhen? There is also a seriously ill brother - his heart is slightly confused, and his expression is strange for a moment.

Lei Jie stared at Bai Tang, his subtle expression could not escape his eyes: "Lian Gongzi, you seem to recognize the woman of the Zhen family?" ”

Bai Tang hesitated. Xia Yu's matter couldn't be hidden, and Xu San was involved. couldn't help but smile bitterly and asked Aunt Li: "Does the Zhen family have an eldest son?" ”

Aunt Li shook her head and said, "Eldest son? I've never seen it before! ”

Bai Tang was puzzled for a while, could he have made a mistake? Then he asked, "What is her husband's surname?" ”

Aunt Li said: "The surname is Xia." Her son's name is Xia Ji. ”

Bai Tang took a breath: "My lord." If you are not mistaken, Zhen should also have an eldest son named Xia Yu. Not long ago, in order to raise money for his younger brother's treatment, he was sold as a slave, and now he is working in the Wei State Mansion. ”

Lei Jie snorted softly: "Such a coincidence? Lord Zhong, then we are going to visit Xu Sanye. ”

Zhong Zhaoyang was also surprised, and said to the messenger beside him: "Please take Xia Yu to Shuntian Mansion for a while." Let's go check Zhen's house again. I couldn't help but slander: Why can Xu San and Bai Tang always get involved in various cases?

"Your Excellency." A preliminary examination of the body was made, "The deceased was drowned. He was dead for about five or six hours. ”

Lei Jie interjected coldly: "She killed Cai Baihu, and she knew that she would not escape the death penalty, so she committed suicide?" ”

Quan Hong had already called the people who kept vigil yesterday out and asked: "Yesterday night, did you see the woman looking for death by the river?" ”

Several people shook their heads, but they didn't.

One of them thought for a moment and said, "There seemed to be a figure by the river last night, but when I rushed over, I didn't find anyone. Did you already jump into the river at that time? Then he muttered: "In the winter, why do you choose to jump into the river if you are looking for death!" ”

"Yes. Hanging is also more refreshing than freezing to death and drowning! ”

Zhong Zhaoyang and Bai Tang were moved in their hearts when they heard this: it makes sense.

Finally found an opportunity to continue: "Although the deceased was drowned, there was no mud and sand in his mouth and nose. ”

Bai Tang sighed softly: "Drowned first, and then threw it into the river!" ”

Zhong Zhaoyang stroked his beard and nodded, and said to Lei Jie, "Lord Lei." This woman was both murdered and implicated in Cai Baihu's death. Why don't you go to Suncheonfu with me and try the two cases together. ”

Lei Jie's Adam's apple rolled down: "That's what I mean!" ”

When the group arrived at Shuntian Mansion, Xu San sat in the yamen with a grin, and Xia Yu stood behind him respectfully. Hearing the movement, Xu Sanji got up to greet him: "Old Zhong! You're here! I want to kill you! ”

Zhong Zhaoyang couldn't help laughing. Miss him?

Xu San smiled and said: "Nanjing is peaceful under your rule. Here's ...... I'm going to have you to worry more about it in the future! ”

Zhong Zhaoyang's heart was inexplicably moved, he had been the Yin of Tianfu Mansion for many years, conscientious and diligent, and he could be sincerely praised by Xu San, the demon king of the mixed world, and he was even more emotional than the emperor's appreciation.

Xu San pulled Bai Tang, glanced at Lei Jie and asked loudly: "No one who doesn't have long eyes dares to make trouble in Mulberry Garden, right?" My lord whipped his tendons to make you a whip! ”

Lei Jie said with a cold and expressionless face: "If there is any neglect of practicing the son in this thousand households, please forgive me." ”

Bai Tang smiled: "Your Excellency is polite, there is nothing to do." ”

As if he was afraid that Bai Tang would be eaten by Lei Jie, Xu San held his hand tightly and refused to let go.

Lei Jie, Xu San has heard of his name.

"Lei Jie's nickname in the army is the head wolf, which shows his fierceness. I also heard about Cai Baihu today, but I didn't expect him to find your mulberry garden and find a corpse! If it's not weird to say this, my surname is not Xu, my surname is -" He looked at Bai Tang and suddenly smiled, "My surname is Lian!" ”

Bai Tang's face turned red: "Nonsense! ”

Xu San asked meaningfully: "Then, how about putting my surname on the front of your name?" ”

Bai Tang's careful liver jumped wildly, and he couldn't help but look at Xu San's expression carefully, only to see him smiling with peach blossom eyes, and couldn't help but sip: "Dream!" ”

Xu San's smile froze, and he said pitifully: "This can't be done, that's not possible, what do you want?" ”

Bai Tang said angrily: "My lord is trying the case!" ”

Zhong Zhaoyang sat in the lobby, looked at everyone and asked, "Which one is Xia Yu, the son of the Zhen family?" ”

Xia Yu was summoned to Shuntian Mansion, and he felt strange, and after listening to Fu Yin's question, he knelt down and said, "Grass people Xia Yu." ”

Zhong Zhaoyang was slightly surprised when he saw that he had delicate facial features and was a beautiful young man. However, thinking that the deceased's appearance was also quite beautiful, I thought it was Zi Xiao's mother.

"Why did you sell yourself into slavery?"

Xia Yu gritted her teeth: "It's just that the younger brother in the family is seriously ill, and the mother is in urgent need of money." "Since my father's death, the family has been in ruins, and my mother has brought up the two brothers alone, if it weren't for the fact that my brother was suffering from such a serious illness...... Mother...... I wouldn't do such unspeakable things!

"Have you been home to visit your family recently?"

Xia Yu shook his head: "No." However, I asked Mrs. Liu to take my money from the sale of my body. ”

Zhong Zhaoyang frowned: "When did it happen?" ”

"Probably...... Ten days ago. ”

Bai Tang immediately heard the strangeness, and couldn't help but ask: "Where do you live?" ”

Xia Yu said: "I sold the old house in the inner city before and rented a house nearby. It is convenient to see a doctor. ”

Bai Tang gasped! Problematic!

Just now in the mulberry garden, Aunt Li clearly said that it was only ten days before Zhen moved to the outer city with her son. In other words, the Zhen family just drove Xia Yu out of the house, and moved to the outer city with his youngest son!

Why?

Lord Zhong also heard the strangeness and said, "Summons Mrs. Liu!" ”

A moment later, Mrs. Liu arrived.

"Mrs. Liu. More than ten days ago, Xia Yu asked you to sell your body to his mother, have you sent it? ”

Mrs. Liu had already seen Xia Yu, and when she heard the adult's question, she regretted and said angrily: "My lord." Yes, there is such a thing. It's just that because Zhen suddenly moved, I didn't find anyone. So the money was not given out for a while. I was trying to find out where she moved to send the silver, but I didn't expect Xia Yu to sue me. My lord, I'm the one who is greedy for that little money—"

"What did you say?!"

Xia Yu asked in fright: "My mother moved away?" ”

Mrs. Liu pouted and said, "Yes! I asked my neighbors, but I didn't know where their mother and son had gone! ”

Xia Yu hurriedly said: "Impossible. My mother wants to treat Ah Ji. I have to wait for me to make money back, how can I suddenly move? ”

Bai Tang said in his heart: Suddenly moved, naturally because of trouble. Big trouble.

He thought of Cai Baihu's death, and a not very good speculation floated in his heart.

This clock has a bottom in your heart. said: "Take Xia Yu to identify the body." ”

Xia Yu's eyes widened suddenly, and he asked in a trembling voice, "Recognize the corpse?" What kind of corpse do you recognize? Your Excellency—"

"Xia Yu!" Xu San shouted, "If the adult asks you to recognize the corpse, you will recognize it!" Don't waste your time! ”

Xia Yu bit her lip, and followed behind the official with her legs a little weak. Mrs. Liu was also a little confused: What, didn't Xia Yu sue herself?

Bai Tang couldn't help but grab Xu San's hand.

After an eerie silence, heart-rending cries were heard in the lobby.

The deceased was indeed Xia Yu's mother, Zhen.
