Chapter 261: The First Encounter
Fang Huanyun's footsteps moved, blocking Xie Langhua, she looked coldly at the guards of the Criminal Department and said in a deep voice: "What are you doing here?
Xie Langhua looked at the guards of the Criminal Department casually, there was no panic on her face, and a sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
Chun Tao listened to the movement and walked in, she couldn't help frowning as she looked at those people from the Criminal Department, her eyes were full of doubt.
The eldest lady has been sick in bed for the past few days, and she rarely even goes out of the door, what can she do that is worth the criminal department's action?
"This morning, the Cui family came to report the case, saying that Cui Su's ashes were stolen, and who would steal his ashes except you. The guard at the head looked at Xie Langhua and said in a deep voice.
He paused, looked up at the guards on the side, and said, "Take her away for me." ”
Xie Langhua is the daughter of the Marquis of Dingyuan, so they naturally won't use torture tools on her, if it weren't for the Cui family coming to report the case, they wouldn't dare to come to Xie Langhua rashly.
The two guards walked towards Xie Langhua with halberds in their hands.
Before Xie Langhua could speak, Xiao Shi hurriedly walked in, she looked at the guards in the room, and said in a deep voice: "Since ancient times, she has been a thief and caught stolen goods, and you said that she stole Cui Su's ashes, but you came up with evidence!"
Xiao Shi knew that Xie Langhua had buried Cui Su's ashes under the peach tree in the backyard, so she dared to say so.
As soon as Xiao's voice fell, Xie Langhua slowly walked out from behind Fang Huanyun, she looked at the guards of the Criminal Department with an expressionless face, and said casually: "The Criminal Department's handling of the case can't be based on speculation! If you can't come up with evidence, I will not only sue you for trespassing on private houses, but also for slander." ”
"If we don't have evidence, how can we come to our door and get people. The guard at the head of the group smiled with a smile, obviously having real evidence in his hands.
Although Xie Langhua is the daughter of the Marquis of Dingyuan, it is the Cui family that they dare not offend compared to the Marquis of Dingyuan.
Listening to his words, Xiao's heart suddenly sank, and she looked at Xie Langhua with some concern.
Chun Tao was also a little worried, but she didn't show it on her face at all.
Only Fang Phantom Cloud stood there without changing his face.
Xie Langhua's face was calm, her chin was slightly raised, and she looked coldly at the guard led by her and said, "If there is evidence, you can take it out!"
Xie Langhua said and gave Xiao Shi and Chun Tao a look, signaling them not to worry.
Xiao Shi and Chun Tao were relieved.
"It seems that you don't cry when you don't see the coffin, and you have your own distinction in the lobby of the criminal department. The guard at the head said, he looked up at the guard beside him and said, "Take her away." ”
The two guards strode towards Xie Langhua.
"Slow!" Xie Langhua's eyes sank, she glanced at the two guards lightly, her eyes were too sharp, making the two guards feel cold, and they didn't dare to take a step forward.
"You two shit. The guard at the head looked at them and scolded in a deep voice.
Xie Langhua raised her eyes and fell on the guard who was the leader, and the corners of her mouth hooked and said slowly: "It's okay for me to go to the criminal department with you, but what if I find out that it wasn't the ashes I stole and stolen?"
Although she didn't care about her reputation, she couldn't help them to come to the door with such a brazen insult.
"If you find out that it was not yours who stole it, I will give you this head around my neck to enjoy. The guard at the head looked at Xie Langhua and said without thinking.
The sister-in-law that Cui Jiaxin found said that he had full evidence, and they only needed to take Xie Langhua to the Criminal Department.
"So good, I'll go with you. Xie Langhua smiled faintly.
"Langhua ......" Xiao Shi stepped forward a few steps, she looked at Xie Langhua with worried eyes, and looked like she wanted to say something.
"Mother, don't worry, I'll be back soon. Xie Langhua gently shook Xiao's hand.
Xie Langhua glanced up at Fang Huanyun, and she walked away.
Fang Huanyun followed behind her.
"I'll also go with the eldest lady. Chun Tao also stood up and wanted to accompany Xie Langhua to the Criminal Department.
"You take care of your mother at home. Xie Langhua looked up at Chun Tao and said.
Chun Tao had to stay.
Xiao Shi and Chun Tao watched Xie Langhua and Fang Huanyun get into the carriage, and the guards of the Criminal Department stayed around the carriage inch by inch.
If it weren't for Xie Langhua, the daughter of the Marquis of Dingyuan, who would not have had this kind of treatment, I am afraid that she would have been in the prison car a long time ago.
The group soon came to the criminal department.
Choi Woo was already in the lobby of the Criminal Department.
On a cold day, he was dressed in white and dressed in snow, wearing a black fox fur outside, and his eyebrows and eyes were as warm as jade, and he looked like a humble gentleman.
On the table in the lobby of the Department of Punishment was a clay pot stained with dirt, apparently just dug out of the soil.
Xie Langhua was dressed in red clothes in full swing, she was wearing a white fox fur outside, and walked in slowly accompanied by Fang Huanyun.
Cui You looked up at Xie Langhua.
He glanced at Xie Langhua lightly, forgiving him for his clumsiness, he really couldn't see that this Xie Langhua had anything extraordinary, which could make Cui Su die for her willingly.
Today's Shangshu Song Yan of the Criminal Department is wearing an official uniform, because he has been in charge of the Criminal Department all the year round, he has already cultivated a momentum of not being angry and arrogant, he looked at Xie Langhua lightly, and said in a deep voice: "Xie Langhua said why did you steal Cui Su's ashes?"
If it were someone else, he would have been scared under his interrogation.
Xie Langhua glanced at Cui You lightly, she looked at Song Yan calmly and said: "If you go back to adulthood, I have never stolen Cui Su's ashes, Cui Su is my deceased husband, since the Cui family forcibly took his ashes from me, I don't know where they placed him, and I have been sick for many days, how can I steal?"
Cui You looked up at Xie Langhua, and he glanced at Xie Langhua with sarcasm in his eyes.
Song Yan looked at Xie Langhua and frowned, he gently patted the clay pot on the table, and said in a deep voice: "Someone saw you bury Cui Su's ashes outside the city, and the official has ordered someone to take back the clay pot containing Cui Su's ashes, and you still want to quibble." ”
"Bang......" Song Yan said as he slammed the startling wood in his hand, causing people's ears to buzz.
Xie Langhua looked at the clay pot on the table, her nose was sour, her eyes couldn't help but redden, but a trace of mockery flashed in her eyes, she didn't expect Xiao Mo to fall into the Cui family so quickly.
Cui You looked at her like this, he frowned, a trace of anger flashed on his face, and asked in a deep voice at Xie Langhua: "Miss Xie, Ah Su has died for you, why don't you still let him rest in peace!"
Xie Langhua didn't even look at Cui You.
Her eyes were full of indescribable bitterness, and her emaciated body was covered with desolation, and she walked towards the clay pot step by step.
"Xie Shi Langhua, can you plead guilty?" Song Yan said with a cold look at Xie Langhua.
Cui You looked at Xie Langhua lightly, a hint of chill flashed in his warm and jade-like eyes, since they were in deep love, he simply sent her down to accompany his short-lived brother, which was also considered to be their fulfillment.
"Ah Su ......" Under the eyes of everyone, Xie Langhua walked over in a few steps, she reached out and took the clay pot on the table, hugged her tightly in her arms, tears rolled down, and she looked like life was worse than death.
"Miss's Day mourning. Fang Huanyun said softly on the side.
"Xie Shi Langhua, now that the evidence is complete, what else do you have to say?" Song Yan looked at Xie Langhua expressionlessly and said.
"Evidence?" Xie Langhua looked up at Song Yan, her teary eyes blurred and sarcastically said, "Where is the evidence that the adults said?"
Song Yan was also angry, if it weren't for Xie Langhua being the daughter of the Marquis of Dingyuan, he would have already been executed, he looked at Xie Langhua coldly and said, "Isn't the clay pot in your arms evidence?"
Xie Langhua lowered her eyes and looked at the clay pot in her hand, and she smiled desolately: "Is this what the adults said?"
"Exactly. Song Yan said.
"Hahaha......" As soon as his voice fell, Xie Langhua looked up to the sky and laughed, she was almost crazy, and slammed the clay pot in her hand to the ground when everyone was caught off guard.
"Xie Shi Langhua, what are you doing. Song Yan was taken aback.
Cui You was also slightly stunned.
With a "snap ......", the clay pot fell to the ground and fell apart instantly.
Everyone looked intently, there were no ashes in the clay pot, and some were just a red old coat of Cui Su.
Everyone was stunned for a moment.
Especially Cui You, and the head of the guard.
Xie Langhua's tears fell line by line, she looked at everyone present one by one, and finally set her eyes on Cui You and Song Yan, she smiled with sarcasm: "Is this the evidence in your mouth?"
Song Yan's eyes were also full of shock, and he looked up at Cui You.
Cui You's eyes narrowed slightly, and he was speechless under the gaze of Xie Langhua and Song Yan.
This scene was really unexpected by him.
"My lord, I don't even allow me to make a well-dressed grave for my deceased husband? What is the reason? The criminal department is too lenient!" Xie Langhua smiled sarcastically.
She looked up at the leader of the guards.
When he met her gaze, the head of the guard turned pale, his eyes were full of horror, and he instantly collapsed to the ground.
Fang Huanyun glanced at Xie Langhua without a trace, her eyes were full of appreciation, the eldest lady was not decadent because of Cui Su's departure, which really made her happy.
How did she know that Xie Langhua's whole person was very tense, and she was bent on avenging Cui Su.
Song Yan frowned and looked at Cui You.
"My lord, the theft of Ah Su's ashes is really true. Cui You said and looked up at Xie Langhua and continued: "I think she must have hidden somewhere else, and I hope that the adults will see what is going on and get Ah Su's ashes back as soon as possible." ”
Before Song Yan could speak, Xie Langhua looked at Cui You and said, "You just said that the evidence is conclusive, where is the evidence now? You must know that empty words and white teeth are slander! Slander in Yan Country is a serious crime." ”
Xie Langhua said loudly, and she looked at Song Yan coldly with tears on her face.
For a while, Song Yan only felt that his head was too big.
"Lord Song, you said that the little girl stole Cui Su's ashes, where is the evidence?" At that moment, Xie Changan strode in with a pale face, he was still wearing court clothes, obviously just got out of the morning court.
Who doesn't know that Xie Changan is now a protector maniac.
The corners of Song Yan's mouth twitched, and he looked at Cui You with cold eyes.
Xie Changan followed his line of sight, his gaze fell on Cui You, and he said in a deep voice: "Cui Jialangjun kept saying that Langhua stole Cui Su's ashes, please take out the evidence, or do you say that you can slander whoever you want as a scholar." ”
