Zhuang Rou was kicked out, she stood at the entrance of Zhuangzi, behind her were all people from the Ding family, and half of the people from the Ye family didn't show up, so the Ding family did all the work of driving people out for themselves.

"Why are you like this, Ding Lian'er is a member of your family, even if she marries the Ye family, she will die overnight. It's unacceptable not to report the case to find out the truth, but to admit it so happily. She looked at the menacing Ding family and felt that this family was really unreasonable.

Ding Lian'er's father, Ding Ran, was late, he had a clear air, and there was a heavy literati atmosphere between his gestures, he walked to the front of the crowd, hugged his fists at Zhuang Rou and said: "Miss Zhuang, you are grateful for the sake of the little girl, but this matter is not about the government, please don't disturb the tranquility of the deceased." ”

"What the little girl does must be her own choice, people have passed away, and there is no saddest thing for us to do. What is the position of Miss Zhuang to criticize us? If you're not here to pay your respects, please go back, you're not welcome here. ”

Zhuang Rou looked at him expressionlessly and said, "I don't care what kind of mood you have about Ding Lian'er's death, whether you cry or be sad, or happy because you are going to have a chastity archway, it's all your business." ”

"I think there is something strange about this matter, so I will go to find out, and I thought that in addition to you Qingliu, many officials only have silver in their eyes, but I didn't expect that you Qingliu really doesn't love money, but a good name and honor are even more crazy."

The faces of the Ding family were very ugly, Ding Ran frowned and said: "Miss Zhuang, your brother is also a scholar, and he must know how important Qingyu is, if you talk nonsense like this again, it will not be good." ”

Zhuang Rou raised her head and stared at him, "Can I understand that you are threatening me with my brother?" ”

"Hmph, we haven't done this yet, what to do to a little prisoner. It's just that Miss Zhuang don't forget, although you are a person who should be arrested, don't want to mess around with us. Even if someone protects you, but you do something that violates the law and human norms, we will play and ask the emperor to make the decision! Ding Ran arched his hand to the sky and said firmly.

These clear streams are a group of hard bones, and it would be nice if we could put this heart on the people. Zhuang Rou thought in her heart, but she couldn't ask for an autopsy in front of so many people.

If these words were said, the Ye Ding family would have to tear her apart alive, and it would be useless at that time.

Thinking of this, she put down her words, "I will give Ding Lian'er an explanation, no one wants to take this matter as normal, say goodbye!" Then he got on his horse and rode away.

Watching her leave, someone in the Ding family said, "Uncle, what should I do about this, will she make trouble?" ”

"Yes, this person is quite unlucky, as long as he has anything to do with her, it will not end well. King Xian doesn't even have a hereditary title, so our family will be fine, right? ”

Ding Ran turned his head and scolded angrily: "Don't talk nonsense!" We haven't done anything, so what else can she find out. Lian'er is the daughter-in-law of the Ye family, and she is no longer just a young lady of the Ding family! ”

That's right, the Ye family!

Everyone turned around, and what caught their eyes was the eight red lacquer chastity archways, and I don't know who whispered, "It's spectacular, it's good that the Ding family also has it." ”

He said what everyone thought, but no one wanted to admit that this was a torii made of women in the clan.

Zhuang Rou rode away from Yejiazhuang on horseback, compared the distance, if you want to ask for a doctor, going to the capital is the best doctor's medical skills, and it is the closest place, so it is most convenient to start from the medical hall here.

However, at this time, she wanted to go to the little king to talk about this matter, if he also agreed, then it would be convenient to do things, and it would be okay to conduct an autopsy.

She first went to the courtyard of the little county king in Douhu County, and learned that he did not live here and had returned to Beijing, but he did not live in the eldest princess's mansion. After asking the address, Zhuang Rou hurriedly rode back and went straight to the little county king's house, which was everywhere like a rabbit.

When Zhuang Rou arrived at his courtyard, the little county king was sitting leisurely in the water pavilion, eating ice and enjoying the coolness. And Xiao Ran is arranging for people to pack their luggage, this is a place where they have to go to the waterway for two days, unlike here, they can come back at any time, and they have to bring all the things.

"My lord, I have a case to report!" Zhuang Rou looked at the posture of packing her luggage, and suddenly felt a little anxious, she didn't expect to leave in such a hurry, Ding Lian'er's case has not been solved yet.

"Another case?" Chu Xia looked at her speechlessly, it's been this month, and it's too hot to pretend to be injured and wrap her hands again. Besides, the matter was over, he had already removed the bandages, and was eating in a glass bowl full of fruit and crushed ice. Hearing her say this, he looked at her with a silver spoon in his mouth and some grievances.

What kind of case to do on a hot day, enjoying the cool is the right thing!

Zhuang Rou pretended not to see his gaze, clenched her fists and bowed her head and said seriously: "My lord, Ding Lian'er, the daughter of Ding Ran, a bachelor in the Hanlin Academy, just married into the Ye family of the archway, and hanged herself that night. I suspect that the Ye family is for the ninth archway, so they killed Ding Lian'er, and the young master of their family died a long time ago! ”

"So what?" Chu Xia squeaked and bit the ice cube and asked casually.

"Of course, it's an autopsy, check the people who went to the wedding, and then check all the Ye family!" Zhuang Rou immediately preached, as long as this round came down, it would be immediately found out.

Chu Xia squinted his eyes and ate a piece of sour pear, he frowned and spit out the piece of pear, and refused in one bite, "No." ”

Zhuang Rou asked, "Why not?" ”

"Didn't you see me packing?" Looking up at her who was knowingly asking, Chu Xia said, "My jurisdiction is now Hongzhou, and even the craftsmen of Xiudouhu County were called by me more than twenty days ago, and this Ye family is not under my control, why do you want to check them?" ”

Without waiting for Zhuang Rou to explain, he said again: "No one has reported to the official, what are you here to join in, haven't you just met twice, what are you doing with such enthusiasm?" Don't investigate this case, hurry up and go back to pack your things, and follow me to Hongzhou tomorrow. ”

"Really, it doesn't stop on a hot day."

"Tomorrow?" Zhuang Rou said dissatisfiedly, "I only found out the news this morning, and I haven't even packed my luggage if I leave tomorrow, so I have to stay here for a few more days!" ”

Chu Xia knew that she said that she was going to pack her luggage, I was afraid that she wanted to investigate this case, "Don't bother with it, you will definitely not find anything, even if you find it, it will be useless." This is the first chastity archway that the emperor wants to give, don't make trouble. ”

"That's a human life, I have to give an explanation. If Ding Lian'er really hanged herself to find a husband, then I will come to apologize, if not, then the person who did this must pay for his life! Looking at his disappreciative look, Zhuang Rou said angrily.

What a troublesome and enthusiastic guy, Chu Xia put down the bowl and stretched out three fingers, "I won't let you investigate this case, but I can give you three days to pack your luggage, once someone finds me and says that you are still investigating this case, then you must go back with me immediately!" ”

Zhuang Rou felt that three days was too short, but the ratio of major cases was three days, so it was reasonable to think so.

So she answered, and immediately ran out of the house, just wanting to get on her horse and hurry to find evidence.

Looking at her fiery appearance, Chu Xia smacked his lips and said, "I still want to invite her to eat a bowl of ice to cool down, but it's no need to look at her like this." ”

"Your Highness, when are we leaving for Hongzhou?" Xiao Ran glanced at the ice bucket, the greedy Chu Xia had already eaten four bowls of ice, and if he continued to eat it, he would have a bad stomach like last year.

Chu Xia smiled and said, "Wait for her for three days, then she will definitely have to go back with me obediently." If you don't let her investigate the case, it's useless to check it. ”

"Your Highness, it's good to explain to her directly, and it will take three days to tease her." Xiao Ran couldn't help but say, obviously everything is ready to set off tomorrow, but now he has to delay it for a few days because of His Highness's playfulness.

"It's useless to say it, you have to make her suffer a little. People like her, where would they listen to others' reasoning. Chu Xia said with a smile, he just wanted to see Zhuang Rou eat deflated, so that it would be interesting.

And Zhuang Rou got out of Chu Xia's mansion, and immediately rode to the west of the city, directly found Tong Yu, and took out a silver ticket to let him check the affairs of the Ye family. The main thing to check is one person, the old five leaves of Ye Qiuyan's grandchildren.

This person is Ding Lian'er's husband, and it was he who died on the night of the wedding that Ding Lian'er hanged herself.

She wants to find out, since this person died of illness, and the Ye family has no way to interrogate, then check whether he is suddenly ill or chronically ill.

Let her check this kind of thing alone, and it is impossible to run all of them in thirty days, so she can only ask Yutong.

"Sister, don't worry, I will definitely give you news within three days." Yu Tong accepted the silver ticket and assured that this bit of silver was not enough to investigate this matter urgently, but it was a rule to collect money on the face, and the young master would naturally make up for it later.

Zhuang Rou nodded, "Okay, I'll go first, and let me know if there's something." Now she didn't have time, so she hurried out and rode away.

She still remembers that among the women who swam in the lake together last time, several of them were also Ding Lian'er's best friends, and they would definitely go to the wedding. Even if you don't go, someone in the family will definitely go, and you can ask about the situation.

But unexpectedly, after these families heard who she was, they didn't even open the door at all, either they went to escape the summer, or went to relatives in other places, or they didn't want her to meet.

Zhuang Rou still didn't believe it, no one in the capital dared to say half a word, so she went all over the city to find Xi Po and Xi Sha Fu and ask about the situation at that time.

She kept running around the city and outside the city, looking for everyone who had seen the wedding that day. The magnates were reluctant to associate with her, but the ordinary people didn't know who she was, they only knew that this was a real person with a waist card.

The big officials are easier to deal with than the fish, and these villagers who are not evil and do fish and meat are ghosts, and they can kill you casually.

In the middle of the night, Zhuang Rou came out of the house of a mother-in-law who was threatened and lured by her, and this person's husband was blowing joy at the door of Ding's house, and asked him about something.

Touching her purse, she found that the silver she had brought with her was gone, and she couldn't ask anything without it, so she planned to go home first. Scurrying around in the capital in the middle of the night is also easy to be misunderstood.

As soon as she rode out of the alley, a team of people and horses stood in front of her, and the leader looked at her and said: "Stop, in the middle of the night in the capital, sneaky or thieves, come with us to the Jingmen Mansion!" ”

Zhuang Rou looked at them, and suddenly led the horse to turn and gallop away, the sound of the horse's hooves rushed noisily in the quiet night, and seeing that the alley was in front of her, and no one stopped her, she wanted to rush out.

Suddenly, a horse rope appeared in the alley, and the horse under her instantly fell to the ground, and she fell out. When she was about to hit the ground, she was held up and stopped.

When I looked up, I saw a knife around my neck, "Don't move." ”
