Chapter 48: Court Interrogation (I)

Wen Cang chased after him with an arrow, grabbed Yu Yao, and said, "Youwei is a girl, and I'm stupid, how can I miss you?" ”

Yu Yao said angrily: "I see, you have more and more eyes and ideas!" ”

Wen Cang smiled: "Those who are close to Zhu are red!" Then he dragged Yu Yao into the car without saying anything.

Youwei turned to a few little girls and said, "You are obedient here to take care of the house, and my sister will definitely be able to get the boss lady back for you." ”

One by one, the little girls stared at each other with wide eyes and were at a loss.

Youwei also got into the car, Xi'er and Mi'er drove the car, led the horse, and went all the way to the mansion.

Youwei took out a pack of Poria cakes, which turned out to be those that Aunt Gongsun stuffed to Yu Yao yesterday.

Youwei said: "I can't eat a good breakfast, so I can only fill my stomach with this Poria cake." ”

Youwei picked up a piece and handed it to Yu Yao's mouth.

Yu Yao turned his head away, still puffing out and not speaking.

Youwei handed it to Wen Cang again and said, "Brother Wen, are you hungry?" Eat one. ”

Wen Cang took it with both hands and said with a smile: "Thank you." ”

Youwei also picked one up and ate it, and then handed the rest out to Xi'er and Hao'er.

Yu Yao didn't sleep all night, he was already a little injured, he didn't eat breakfast at the moment, he was already sleepy and hungry, and the aroma of Poria cakes was wafting around, as if he was being punished.

Youwei deliberately poked her head out and asked Xi'er and Ha'er, "Is the Poria cake delicious?" ”

Xi'er and Ha'er laughed and said in unison, "It's delicious!" ”

Yu Yao really added fuel to the fire when he heard this, and became more and more angry.

At this time, Youwei suddenly conjured a piece of Poria cake out of nowhere, and muttered to herself, "Huh? How is there a piece left? Alas, it's a pity that a few of us are full, and we can't afford it. ”

Yu Yao couldn't help it, snatched the Poria cake, and said, "I haven't eaten yet, I'm starving!" ”

Everyone couldn't help but laugh when they saw it.

Soon, the carriage had arrived at the long street where the government was located.

In the distance, everyone saw a group of people gathered at the entrance of the palace.

Wen Cang said: "Why did so many people gather? ”

Yu Yao said: "Is it going to be over today?" ”

Youwei was surprised: "So fast? ”

Wen Cang said: "Let's go down and have a look." ”

The carriage and horse luggage could not be left unattended, so they were left to watch.

Youwei took Xi'er, together with Yu Yao and Wen Cang, and walked towards the door of the mansion.

Through the layers of crowds, I saw that Xu Tingshi had ascended to the hall.

Everyone was crowded around, trying to protect Youwei, but there were too many people, and they still couldn't come forward.

Wen Cang said to the stranger next to him: "May I ask what happened?" ”

The man looked at Wen Cang a few times and said, "You're a foreigner, right?" Today, Lord Xu opened the court to try the case of the proprietress of the Spring Day Banquet, Aunt Gongsun who killed her father. ”

"Kill the husband?" Youwei couldn't help but blurt out.

Wen Cang said: "But I heard that Aunt Gongsun's husband disappeared many years ago, how could it be that Aunt Gongsun killed him?" ”

The man said: "A few days ago, someone found a man's finger bones in a bucket of swill for feeding pigs, and he was so frightened that he quickly reported it to the official. Lord Xu has sent people to check around for a long time, and it seems that he has found some clues, and believes that it is the bones of Gongsun Niang's husband, Gongsun Lone. Who else could she have killed if she hadn't killed her? Her knife work is not comparable to anyone in Xiangzhou City. ”

Vicky argued, "If you've been missing for so long, why did the bones appear?" Besides, it's not just cooks who can use knives, but butchers too! ”

The man said, "Where did the girl doll come from, what do you know?" ”

Youwei said angrily: "You ......"

Yu Yao stopped her and said, "It's useless to talk more, and let's see how Lord Xu interrogates and then calculates." ”

Vicky had no choice but to shut up.

At this time, the jailer had already brought Aunt Gongsun and threw her in front of the hall.

Xu Dadao: "Who is in the hall?" ”

Aunt Gongsun used to be so beautiful, but now she suddenly suffered from a night of imprisonment, and it was unbearable, so she knelt weakly and said: "The people's woman Gongsun Men Li family. ”

Xu Dadao: "The yamen quickly found out that you murdered your husband, do you admit it or not?" ”

Aunt Gongsun said: "The women are wronged, please be aware of it!" The husband of the folk woman has long disappeared, and the folk woman has not seen him for many years, so how can she talk about murdering her husband? ”

Xu Dadao: "Xing Zhutou, you come." ”

A middle-aged man in a yamen uniform stepped forward and saluted, "Yes, my lord." ”

Xing Zhutou turned around and said to Aunt Gongsun: "You said that your husband has been missing for many years, so when was the last time you saw him?" ”

Aunt Gongsun said: "My husband is a failed talent. That summer, he said that he was going to go to the city to go to the countryside for the test, so I packed up for him and sent him out, but he never returned. In order to find his whereabouts, I came from the countryside to the city of Xiangzhou, but after so many years, I have not even seen his shadow. ”

Xing Zhutou said: "You are lying! Bring the witnesses in! ”

The crowd quickly brought up a man and knelt down in the hall.

Xu Dadao: "Who is in the hall?" ”

The man said: "The little one is the shopkeeper of the gold jewelry shop opposite the Spring Banquet Restaurant, surnamed Xu, the second in the family." The one who is called Xu Erye is small. ”

Master Xu said: "Do you know the woman in front of you?" ”

Xu Er said: "If you go back to the adult, the little one will recognize that she is the proprietress of the spring banquet." ”

Lord Xu shouted "Xing Zhutou", Xing Zhutou understood, and then asked: "Second Master Xu, you told Ben Zhutou that you once saw Aunt Gongsun behaving intimately with a man not long ago, appearing in the back alley, is there such a thing?" ”

Xu Er said: "The little ones don't dare to talk nonsense, every sentence is true." That day, the little one passed through the back alley, and saw Aunt Gongsun sending off a man from a distance, but it was dark, and the little one didn't see the man's face clearly. After the man left, the little one still walked forward, and when he met Aunt Gongsun who was preparing for the Spring Day Banquet, he asked about the origin of the person, and Aunt Gongsun bluntly said that it was her husband......

Aunt Gongsun interrupted him and shouted, "Don't listen to his nonsense! This thief has always had ulterior motives for the people's wife, and the people's woman told her several times that the people's wife only wanted to wait for the missing husband to come back, and had no intention of remarrying, and he was still bitterly entangled. As for what he said, it was a complete fabrication! ”

Xu Er said: "You thief woman, why do you still bite back?" I saw you with a man that day, if it weren't for your husband, could it be an adulterer? ”

Aunt Gongsun said angrily: "You spew blood!" ”

Lord Xu picked up the startling wood, slapped it violently, and shouted: "Above the public court, Hugh is noisy!" ”

Everyone was taken aback, and they couldn't help but be silent.

Xu Dadao: "Xu Er, you said that Aunt Gongsun had a secret meeting with a man in the back alley, but what evidence do you have?" ”

Xu Erdao: "If you go back to adulthood, I saw it with my own eyes, what evidence do I need?" ”

Xu Dadao: "What is the appearance of that person?" What is the height? ”

Xu Erdao: "The height seems to be slightly shorter than Xing Zhutou, and slightly taller than this woman." Well, it was already dark at that time, and it was a little far away, and the small ones really didn't see clearly. But everyone knows that the official who disappeared this woman is a fallen talent, and the man I saw that day was also dressed as a Confucian student, and the woman admitted that her husband had returned, which must not be wrong. ”

Aunt Gongsun said: "Please Mingjian, the woman has been fed up with his entanglement in recent years, and did say that her husband must come back, but my husband is still nowhere to be found, obviously this thief is not able to succeed and designed to frame the woman, he hates because of love, and his motives are not pure, please don't listen to his one-sided words!" ”

Xu Dadao: "This official will investigate clearly." Xing catches the head and brings up the cadres of the Spring Banquet Restaurant. ”

Youwei, who was in the crowd of onlookers, whispered to Yu Yao: "Looking at the posture of this Lord Xu trying the case, it seems that he is a good official. ”

Yu Yao said: "It's too early to draw conclusions. ”

Wen Cang also said: "Don't be anxious, let's take a look." ”
