After a scene outside, everyone applauded. And Li Zhutou on the side also said unsatisfied: "Speaking of which, there was also a team of famous opera troupes in our county back then. I heard that there is any relationship with the Liu family, but it was also very lively back then. ”

"Hundred Operas?"

Xu had found objects from the Hundred Opera Troupe in Zhang's boudoir before, so Xu Chu was quite concerned about the news.

Seeing Xu Chu looking at him suspiciously, Li Zhutou hurriedly said, "If I hadn't listened to the play today, I would have almost forgotten it." If you want to say that it was many years ago, the hundred opera troupe first became famous because of the pomp and circumstance of giving Liu Jiaxing and her mother a wedding. It hasn't been in that lively village for more than 100 years, so there are still many people talking about it. ”

"Acrobatics? Liu Jiaxing's mother's family found it? Xu Chu frowned and wondered.

She has lived in the village for many years, even if she is married to a daughter-in-law in the Lizheng family, she has never seen the pomp and circumstance of inviting a vaudeville troupe, at most it is just a few more firecrackers and a more sumptuous banquet. If the Liu family or Liu Jiaxing's grandfather's family invited a miscellaneous troupe, the family must be more rich than she imagined.

"That team seems to have been started by Liu Jiaxing and his grandfather's family, and later changed to a hundred opera troupe after it became famous. It's a pity that his grandfather's family is gone, and he changed his banner after two generations. Li Zhu saw Xiao Qinglang and Xu Chu thoughtfully, and then said, "I heard that Liu Jiaxing went to study art for a few days when he was a child. ”

Xu Chu and Xiao Qinglang both frowned when they heard this, so they were right, and those objects should have been sent by Liu Jiaxing.

"Does Li Zhutou know what Liu Jiaxing learned back then?"

"Oh, then I don't know when I get there, but his grandfather has a ventriloquist as a pillar, and it's the only one in our county." It is precisely because of his uniqueness that he was able to gain a firm foothold in the county, but unfortunately the later people failed to learn it, and they were blind to the old man's ability.

"Ventriloquism!" Xu Chu's face changed, and he got up and didn't even care if the pastries and tea cups in front of him were poured.

Li Zhutou didn't know why Xu Chu, who had always been calm, suddenly moved, and could only look at her and nod in a daze.

It was also thanks to Xiao Qinglang's quick response, he turned his head to Wei Guang and instructed: "Inform Huang Dashan to reopen the court to try the case." ”

Wei Guang saw that his prince did not look like he was cheating, so he hurriedly gave it up, and then left in a hurry. Of course, he didn't despise the assassin when he left easily, but he knew that the secret guards in the mansion were all around, and the place where Wei Yan's kid was would definitely be able to reach the prince's side in an instant.

Li Zhutou was still a little dazed by Xiao Qinglang's instructions, but he also realized that he was afraid that his adult would make the wrong case, so he didn't dare to hesitate and hurriedly asked, "Childe, Miss Xu, I don't know what I need to do?" ”

"I'm tired of Li Zhutou to help me find someone......" Xu Chu said solemnly.

When all possibilities are ruled out, the truth is reduced to the most unlikely possibility. After Li Zhutou asked clearly and left in a hurry, she sat down and sighed.

An hour later, that is, halfway through the Shen hour, a group of people were crowded again in front of the second gate of the county government. And this time, what is puzzling is that in addition to Yu Fugui, the kneeling person has another mother-in-law who looks old and simple.

As the sound of majesty sounded, Huang Xian Ling and Xu Chu also entered the lobby. At this time, in the face of the hustle and bustle outside, Huang Xianling didn't know what it was like, thinking that he had just written an excerpt proudly and was about to report, but he was suddenly stopped by someone, and said that he had arrested the wrong person, so he couldn't be happy.

The previous smugness and spirit, of course, were not at this time, but fortunately, they didn't stab Da Louzi. He looked at the hall with a calm face, and slammed the startled wood and said, "Silence." ”

The people outside fell silent in an instant, but their eyes were still full of discussions. In the same case, the eldest man overturned the case by himself not long after he broke the case, and he probably didn't dare to write about it in the playbook.

Xu Chu glanced at Yu Fugui, who had a decadent expression, and then at Mama Zhang, who had been kneeling respectfully, sighed and stepped forward and said, "Boss Yu, take a closer look at the old woman around you, do you think she is familiar?" ”

When Yu Fugui heard this, he glanced at Zhang's mother mechanically, "The mother-in-law of the Yu family often sees it." ”

"What if I say that she is Liu Jiaxing's mother?"

Yu Fugui glanced at Xu Chu blankly, and then at Zhang's mother, as if he didn't understand at all. After taking a closer look for a long time, the whole person suddenly broke into a cold sweat, and the sense of shock suddenly rose.

On the contrary, it was Zhang's mother, after Xu Chu's sudden opening, a trace of panic flashed in her eyes, and she suppressed the panic in her heart and said: "What does the girl say again, the slave doesn't know ......"

"I said that you came back this time to take revenge, to take revenge on Fugui and Zhang's husband who died in your anger." She paused, and said in a firm and unquestionable tone, "I once checked the whereabouts of Liu Jiaxing's father and mother, and they went to Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and then you sold yourself as a slave and went to Hunan with the master's family." Or should I say, you suddenly sold yourself for the sake of the lord's family going to Hunan......"

"Zhang Xiucai once said that Liu Jiaxing's body was incomplete back then, I think it was not an ordinary wound, but a poisonous sore...... and the poisonous sore is similar to the shape of syphilis, and it is precisely because of this that Zhang Xiucai would rather be accused of disliking the poor and loving the rich than to withdraw from the marriage. Maybe he was really angry at the beginning because of his daughter's secret marriage with others, but later his attitude towards Liu Jiaxing probably changed completely because of this illness.

Otherwise, the two of them knew the roots, knew the roots, and quickly arranged the marriage of the two, even if they were criticized, they would not let the Liu family die. Although Zhang Xiucai is pedantic, he is not a person who is mad for fame, and he can be seen by looking at what he did after Zhang's accident.

"You don't have to be in a hurry to cry out for grievances, when I saw you at noon, you had just returned from visiting your son from Zhuangzi, and your clothes were still brand new, except for a lot of ashes on your cuffs. If you guessed correctly, before you returned home, you went to the Cinnade and threw the firewood beside the furnace. Xu Chu didn't care about the suspicion in the hearts of others, he only stared at Zhang's mother coldly and said, "In the land of Jinyinfang, Chai He is strictly controlled, I think that Chai He should be brought back by you with a burden or something like that!" ”

"My lord wronged the slave and maid for this, how did the slave and the maid do that, and why did they do that." Zhang's mother was stunned for a moment, and shook her head again and again to deny it.

"Of course, it's because of the ghost ginseng that you gave to Zhang's tea. Although I don't know where it came from, I know that it is as difficult as heaven to get it with your identity. There is only one possibility, and that is that you have promised someone who can get it for his use......" Speaking of which, the person behind the scenes is really cunning, even if it is so clever to put chess pieces around the rich.

Put a person who has a grudge against Yu Fugui and has nothing to do with himself......

"I think the reason why Zhang's family has changed slightly is because you told her that the tea was sent by Liu Jiaxing, am I right?" Xu Chu glanced at her lightly, and didn't know whether to pity her or sigh. In the final analysis, whether she is rich or rich, or even the case of the Zhang family eight years ago or even now, it is probably the handiwork of the people behind the scenes.

And the only thing that the man didn't expect was the copper plate that suddenly appeared in Zhang's mouth and could be fake.

"The slave doesn't know what you're talking about, could it be that the adult wants to impose the crime on the slave in order to exonerate the master?" Zhang's mother trembled, but she didn't know if it was because of insecurity or hatred.

What she said naturally resonated with many people. Most of the people firmly believe that the official word is open, and it is rare to suspect that Huang Xianling and Xu Chu have received the benefits of Yu Fugui and want to get him out of the case.

Outside the lobby, there was a lot of discussion, and even those who had long been disdainful of women going to the hall sneered. Of course, there are also many people who feel inexplicable when Xu Chu suddenly accuses his subordinates of being the murderer, and the noise is endless for a while.

Xu Chu exhaled a breath of turbidity and said, "Since this is the case, then it is said by the sect." ”

"Eight years ago, Liu Jiaxing was just hit hard and faked his death, but the father of the Liu family ended up depressed due to a series of blows. At that time, you were resentful and worried about your son's life and death, so you could only take your son south to Jiangsu and Zhejiang in a hurry, for the cinnabar that was abundant there...... That is, mercury ointment that can heal poisonous sores. ”

As Xu Chu spoke, everyone's eyes fell on Mama Zhang again. Some of the older people or people from Dashi Village also began to seriously look at the neatly dressed mother-in-law.

"Your hands are red, swollen and dry, and I'm afraid it's also caused by long-term exposure to mercury cream." Mercury ointment is mainly used to treat poisonous sores and wind poisoning, and long-term exposure to healthy people will inevitably cause chronic poisoning.

"And the tea was also delivered to the Zhang family by you in a premeditated manner," Xu Chu said slowly, "At the beginning, you and Liu Jiaxing, who is now Zhang Yuanheng, were subordinates at home, and later Master Yu and the housekeeper Yu saw that Zhang Yuanheng wanted to be rude to Xiaocui, and his face was ugly, so he drove people to the village Zhuangzi." If I'm not wrong, at that time, Zhang Yuanheng suddenly broke into the main courtyard regardless of his dignity, he knew your mind and wanted to get the tea back! ”

"Yes, the slave's son is born ugly, but so what?" Mother Zhang didn't look at Xu Chu's dark eyes, "No matter what the adults plan, if you have no evidence or certificate, you will not be wronged by the slave." ”

"Naturally, there is evidence, and since the case is to be tried, I will naturally have real evidence. But before that, should you listen to me? ”

"Later, you often visited Zhang, whether Zhang recognized you or not, or how you explained it to her, she always believed you. On the day of the crime, Xiaocui and Zhang's drank the tea you sent one after another, and then Xiaocui fell asleep and went back to the room to rest, leaving only Zhang's in the room. When she woke up, she said that she heard the sound of an argument and the sound of a vase breaking, but when she rushed over, she didn't see a figure, and she only saw you who went to salute Zhang. ”
