"On the seventh day of the first month, Mrs. Taiping loves you, and it is understandable that you miss your wife's kindness, but you can't talk nonsense." The county commander reached out to stop her.

Qin Jiu stood behind Zeng Shou and recognized that this little maid was the one who came to the post station with Mrs. Mai that day.

"My lord, my wife's death is unknown, please let my wife call the shots."

The seventh day of the first month kept kowtowing, and soon there were blood stains on his forehead.

Luo Fan pointed at her and asked: "Mai County Order, she doesn't look crazy like this, she seems to have a hidden secret, you might as well ask carefully." ”

"My lord, this girl is talking nonsense to frame her master."

Mai County ordered to say nothing.

Zengshou sneered, and said in a long voice: "Mai-county order, who did she frame?" Whose name is it mentioned? ”

Mai Xianling was choked and didn't know how to answer, his master explained: "This seventh day is the wife's personal maid, the wife died suddenly, she cried and made trouble, not saying that our grandfather hurt the wife, early in the morning, it was the grandfather who said this." ”

"Oh, that's it, what's that, your name is Chu Qi, don't kowtow, the blood hula is scary, get up and talk, tell me what's going on, if your wife really has grievances, we have to take care of it in public and private, right, Deputy Envoy Luo."

Luo Fan rarely immediately agreed with his opinion, nodded and said, "What the Lord said is extremely true." ”

Qin Cha is here, the two of them have the same intention, Mai Xian Ling has no objection, staring nervously at the maid named Chu Qi, and the master shouted in a low voice: "Raising a dog also knows how to protect the master." The grandfather and his wife treated you well in the past, and if the wife's bones are not cold, you will frame the grandfather with bad intentions, and his heart should be punished. ”

"I don't know what to do in the seventh year of the first month, I wasn't born in my grandfather's family, I signed a three-year contract, who would dare to kill me? It is precisely because my wife treats me well that I have to fight to the death to avenge my wife's grievances, my lord, it was no one else who killed our wife, it was my grandfather. ”

Chu Qi stood up, straightened his waist, and stretched out his hand to Mai County Ling.

Mai Xianling's face darkened: "Look, I said that he framed the master's family, this girl got up early in the morning and shouted that his wife was killed and wanted to blackmail the lower official, but the lower official didn't agree to her and pretended to be crazy and stupid in the yard. ”

"Okay, I'll give you an appraisal now."

After Zengshou finished speaking, he glanced back at Qin Jiu and scolded: "Slave who doesn't have long eyes, when is it now, where can the girl in your family who has not been out of the pavilion be able to see these things, why don't you hurry up and help the girl to go to the front hall to sit for a while." ”

Hui Xiang and Granny Yao were so frightened that they hurriedly helped Qin Jiu to leave.

Qin Jiu said in a low voice: "Wait." ”

She slowly walked in front of Zengshou and said, "You are the Lord of the Imperial Court and Ah Jiu's cousin, Ah Jiu is here to hope that you can enforce the law impartially, find out Mrs. Mai's affairs clearly, and give Mrs. Mai justice." ”

Zengshou nodded: "Go to the front hall, this is not what your little girl should see." ”

After the maid helped Qin Jiu away, Zengshou asked: "Who is that, the seventh day of the first month, you said that your wife was killed by the Mai County Order, is there any evidence?" And how did he kill Mrs. Mak? ”

Chu Qi said: "My lord, my grandfather came back last night, there was a rancid smell on his body, and he told his wife that he went to Guo's house to check the corpse again, and his wife was bluffing. My wife was anxious and asked me to boil water, and when I came back from boiling water, I listened to the quarrel in the house, and my grandfather said that I finally knew how Xianglian died back then, and where the secret was. Mrs. cried and said that it had nothing to do with her, but Mrs. couldn't help sneering, saying that Xianglian is a good sister when you are a good sister, how many times have you praised you in the letter, and said that you are good with me, and I also want to raise more money to take you out, find a good family to marry, I can't think of you wolf-hearted, dog-hearted, snake-hearted, femme fatale, how can you be worthy of Xianglian? ”

"Who is Xianglian?" Luo Fan asked.

Mai Xian Ling kept his face silent, the master looked at the two Qin Cha, and then saw that Mai Xian Ling's face was not good, and hurriedly took a step back to the side.

Master Bai next to Zengshou was an old fritter, and he immediately saw that the county commander had a ghost in his heart, so he gently tugged on the cuffs of Zengshou to remind him to look at the expression of the master.

"Xianglian is our grandfather's fiancée in his early years, and she did not hesitate to sell herself in order for her grandfather to complete his studies." Chu Qi said slowly.

Mai Xianling was shocked: "How do you know? ”

"Naturally, my wife told me, and my wife also said that the Xianglian girl was very affectionate to the master, fortunately, the grandfather was not a forgetful person, and after being admitted to the fame, he raised some money and returned to Suzhou to redeem Xianglian, the mother in the yard originally wanted to sell Xianglian at a high price, and then someone persuaded her, this is also a good story for children, talented and beautiful, and she knows how to repay something, it is not as good as jade into a beautiful thing, and it can be regarded as a name for this Baihualou, then the mother will agree to Xianglian to redeem herself as long as she has a little money, but she didn't expect Xianglian to think about it for some reason, He hanged himself. ”

Chu Qi's voice was crisp and his speech was clear, Luo Fan nodded lightly, and wanted to signal Mai Xian Ling to continue, but Zeng Shou looked behind Mai Xian Ling, and hated to leave the master in a ball: "What did the master remember?" Let's listen to it, and let's help you with the details. ”

"No, no, no, no, nothing, nothing, I didn't think of anything." The master's face was full of panic and he couldn't stop waving his hand.

"Didn't think of anything? He is an official, I can't really use people to beat the board without definite evidence, you are different, you are a private master, let alone a beating, call two classes of soap servants to come over, the punishment is a piece of cake, you don't want to toast and eat and drink. ”

The voice of longevity was cold, and the excited mouse beard of Master Bai next to him curled up one after another. Luo Fan doesn't understand: What does a good master do?

The master was frightened, and fell to his knees with a pop: "My lord, the little one is just ...... Thinking of yesterday, the master took Xiao He to check on Guo Niangzi's body. ”

"The original is recruited from the truth, which can save you from suffering from flesh and skin."

Increasing longevity further coerced and induced.

"The strange thing is that there are blood stains on the mouth and nose of Guo Niangzi, and I thought it was caused by corruption in the abdomen at first, but the master asked Guo Zuo to shave Guo Niangzi's hair, focusing on the position of the fontanelle, and found a very thin bamboo nail there."

"Oh, how could the Mai County Order know about this?"

Luo Fan asked.

"What's this, my wife told me a similar story in the past, and told me that this nail should be neither thick nor thin, and if you nail it in, you will be unconscious at least and die at worst, without exception."

Chu Qi interjected on the side.

"Your wife, you really know everything." Zengshou scoffed.

"My wife said that this was what happened in her hometown, that there was a man whose wife died, and that there were no scars on his body, and that man also died many years later, and that the children buried them together and collected bones only to find the nail inserted in the woman's brain."

Mai County made sweat rain.

Zengshou clapped his hands and shouted, "Mai County Order, this is the reason why your wife must die, right?" ”
