Listening to Luo Kaichao's question, Tonglu frowned, thought for a while, and said with some hesitation: "Actually, I really don't know what's going on." At that time, I was not in the back room, only the Hou Ye and the fourth girl, who are now the lady filling the house, were talking to Mrs. in the back room. Later, I heard that the Hou Ye was asking people to ask the doctor to come over, and I was in a hurry, so I went directly into the back room, and I saw it...... Seeing that the lady had fallen on the bed, Master Hou, Master Hou, and the four girls stood together......"

Tonglu's voice became lower and lower, Luo Kaichao hugged her with some understanding, and whispered in her ear: "Don't be afraid, with me, I won't let them hurt you......"

Tonglu remembered the day her wife died, and her mood became heavier and heavier, but when she heard Luo Kaichao's words, she wanted to laugh a little, and asked, "Why do they have to get along with me?" ”

Luo Kaichao smiled bitterly: "You really don't know why? ”

Tonglu thought about it again, shook her head firmly, and said, "I know that at that time, only the Hou Ye and the fourth girl were in the back room with their wife, so there might be something strange. But I really didn't see anything wrong with my own eyes, and I didn't dare to speculate. When she went in, although Hou Ye and the fourth girl stood closer, they were still some distance from the bed. Besides, when both the doctor and the doctor came over, Tonglu personally guarded them, carefully watching their every move, and did not see anything wrong at all, saying that the lady was terminally ill and died of heart failure.

Although Tonglu doesn't like the four girls, her life is at stake, and she won't say what she didn't see. Even when Madame's father came to ask her, she said the same thing: she really didn't see anything.

Luo Kaichao breathed a sigh of relief, he believed Tonglu's words. Tonglu has always been a person who has one thing to say and two to say, and he has some reasons to admit death. If she really saw that something was wrong, maybe she wouldn't have gone out of the house to look for herself, but would have gone back to Pei's mansion to complain to Mrs. Pei's father. With Tonglu's cleverness, she can leave the mansion before the four girls find her, and she is fully capable of returning to Pei's mansion and letting Mrs. Pei's father, Pei Lixing, the first assistant of the three dynasties, seek justice for Mrs. Pei.

"Since you didn't see anything wrong, why did the fourth girl of the Pei family have to get along with you after marrying Ning Yuanhou to fill the house?" Luo Kaichao asked, this is the biggest doubt in the whole thing.

Judging from Luo Kaichao's experience of mixing with the underworld, only if he does something that he can't see, he will want to "kill his mouth". Even though Kiroro didn't see anything, she was the only one who went in and witnessed the scene with her own eyes. If someone has a weak heart, he would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let go of one, but it makes sense.

It's just a pity that Tonglu, a dead-eyed girl, just refuses to "extend" what she sees.

Luo Kaichao thought about it and said his analysis to Tonglu: "You haven't seen anything, but some people are thieves, so they are afraid that you will see something, so they hold you back." You don't have to think about it anymore, is there something out of the ordinary, something out of the ordinary? ”

Tong Lu frowned slightly, pondered for a long time, and then said hesitantly: "At that time, it was just the Hou Ye holding the waist of the fourth girl and standing in front of the lady's bed, which made me feel a little excessive...... But after I went in, Master Hou quickly let go of the four girls......"

Luo Kaichao's heart moved: Could this be the reason why Mrs. Ning Yuanhou refused to let go of Tonglu? Is she worried that Tonglu will tell others that she, the lady who fills the house, hooked up with her brother-in-law when her sister was not dead and had an affair? Or, Mrs. Pei was actually ...... angry with them?

Seeing Luo Kaichao's thoughtful appearance, Tonglu pushed his chest and asked, "What are you thinking again?" ”

Luo Kaichao saw Tong Lu's worried look, grinned, hugged Tong Lu in his arms and kissed him, and asked, "You said, did the four girls and her Hou Ye brother-in-law have something unsightly that happened to be seen by you?" ”

"How can I see it?" Kiru was a little puzzled.

"She thought you saw it! - Think about it, at that time, Mrs. Pei fell on the bed, and her life and death were uncertain. The fourth girl is still Mrs. Pei's own sister, but instead of taking care of her sister, she rubbed shoulders with her brother-in-law, which is what a serious person does? Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if the two of them didn't really do anything, but at that time, it should have been Lang Youqing, and the concubine was intentional, so they thought that Mrs. Pei was blocking their way. Luo Kaichao said happily, and simply told Tonglu with great interest about some of the murder cases of husband and wife murder that he had seen with his own eyes when he was in the underworld.

The more Tong Lu listened, the more frightened she felt, and she hurriedly blocked Luo Kaichao's mouth and said, "Don't say it!" - Sounds weird. ”

Luo Kaichao took Tong Lu's hand from his mouth, shook it in his hand, and said, "You are too kind-hearted, and you don't want to think badly of people." Let me tell you, there are people in this world whose minds cannot be measured by people's thoughts at all. I have seen a woman kill the two children she had with her ex-husband in order to have an affair with her concubine, just because her concubine thought her children were an eyesore. ”

The sweat on Tonglu's forehead came out, and she said in a trembling voice: "They are all their own biological children, how can they do it?" ”

Luo Kaichao said with emotion: "Tiger poison doesn't eat children." Some people are really not even as good as animals. ”

The two talked all night, and only took a nap at dawn.

In a few days, it will be the day when the eldest son of the head of the Luo family will marry Pei Shufang, the concubine of the Pei family.

Luo Kaichao and Tonglu said that they would go to the wedding of the second uncle's family at that time, and then find an opportunity to talk to Pei Shufang, so that the people of the Pei family could be psychologically prepared. At the same time, Luo Kaichao went to find a new shop and house, planning to move out as soon as possible before the case of the Marquis of Ningyuan Mansion was concluded.

Tong Ye should have told Mrs. Ning Yuanhou the address of Tong Lu's house before, and they had to take a step back. As the saying goes, the people don't fight with the officials, at present, more things are better than less things, so let's avoid Mrs. Ning Yuanhou first.

Tonglu and Luo Kaichao were busy selling shops and houses, and they were going to buy a new house, so they were very busy for a while. Their previous shop was inconspicuous, and the house also had a three-entry house in the place where ordinary people lived.

To avoid trouble this time, Luo Kaichao deliberately went to find a larger shop, and bought a big house with a back garden in the place where the rich lived. In this way, when Mrs. Ning Yuanhou freed her hands, even if she wanted to find them, she would only look for them in small businessmen and civilian areas, and she would never have thought that they had turned into rich people, opened a big shop, and lived in a big house.

Tonglu always thought that Luo Kaichao was just a small businessman, but now when she saw Luo Kaichao buying shops and houses with a lot of money, she couldn't help but persuade him: "Our family is a family of three, why do we need to spend all this unjust money?" ”

Luo Kaichao smiled and revealed his true family background to her. Tonglu saw Luo Kaichao's real net worth, and her heart was sad and happy, remembering that her wife often talked to her about "Qi Dafei" before her death, but she added a matter of heart, which is not mentioned later.

He Ningxin's side has everything ready, and she is waiting for the criminal department to arrange a day for arraignment.

Who knows that the Shangshu of the Criminal Department doesn't know what happened, today he has a cold, tomorrow he is on fire, he is sick every day, not to mention being promoted to the court, he doesn't even go to the court.

He Ningxin waited for a few days, felt that things were not good, and discussed with her father He Siping whether to put pressure on Shangshu of the Criminal Department.

He Siping was also annoyed. Obviously, their He family is in charge of the lawsuit, should the Shangshu of the Criminal Department be so clearly biased towards the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion and passively slack off? !

On this day, He Siping went to the court, but he didn't see the book of the criminal department. He was not polite, and after going down to the court, he went straight to the mansion of the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, handed over the sticker, and asked to see the Shangshu of the Criminal Department.

Who knew that the disciple of the criminal department Shangshu made it difficult for him in front of the gate, but he didn't send him in.

He Siping was furious, and immediately returned to the Metropolitan Procuratorate, called the fan of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, took the sign of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and sent it to the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, inviting him to come to the Metropolitan Procuratorate to drink tea.

Shangshu of the Criminal Department couldn't hide from it, so he had to sit in a sedan chair, pretend to be sick and crooked, and came to the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

He Siping asked Fanzi to take the Shangshu of the Criminal Department directly to the small dark room of the Metropolitan Procuratorate to invite him to drink tea, and said straight to the point: "Since Li Shangshu is unwell, he should resign and return to his post as soon as possible." This year's new science and technology competition is imminent, and Li Shangshu can just unload the burden and give up the position to the new talent. ”

The surname of the criminal department is Li, and he is also a waiter who has been working for many years, and he was only brought up last year. I thought that the officials of the criminal department were leisurely, and he was the most able to be with the mud, and no one should be offended by Mr. Good. Who knew that soon after taking office, he caught up with Inspector Zuo Yushi and the queen's maiden Ningyuan Marquis Mansion, he had no choice but to push the illness out, and planned to wait for the two parties to be angry, and then he would beat the complaining Nie family boy ten boards, and he would be able to do it.

It's just that now it seems that he still underestimated Inspector Zuo's ability to respond to people. Also, in the past, she dared to talk to the Empress Dowager Pang for a while, and saved the Zhenguo Gong family from the butcher's knife, how can it be a good match?

Li Shangshu had a headache, and he was trying to persuade He Yushi not to go against the queen's mother's family, especially this queen is not an ordinary queen, but a queen who has three princes and is a husband and wife in distress.

He Siping directly threw out a black cowhide bag, threw it in front of Li Shangshu, and said, "Li Shangshu, we don't talk darkly. This batch of documents has been pressed by me for a long time. If Li Shangshu does not seek his own politics in his position, He will no longer cover up for Li Shangshu, and we will write an excerpt tomorrow and submit it directly to the saint for decision! ”

Li Shangshu stretched out a finger suspiciously and scratched the black brown paper bag. When I opened the paper bag, there was something like an official document. Li Shangshu felt a little uneasy in his heart, took out another material and looked at it, his face immediately changed greatly, and he said to He Siping hurriedly: "Brother He, this thing is completely out of nowhere, spewing blood!" - Brother He must give justice to my brother! ”

He Siping sneered: "I will administer justice to you, who will administer justice to me?" ——The reputation of my niece and niece-in-law has been used to slander at will, let's follow the right path and ask for an explanation, Brother Li, how did you do it? ”

Li Shangshu's face was red and white for a while, and after thinking for a long time, he finally made up his mind and said to He Siping: "Brother He, don't worry, brother, my illness is almost better, I will go back to the Criminal Department tomorrow and pick a good day for your nephew's lawsuit." ”

He Siping said solemnly: "You don't need to pick a good day, just pick the earliest day." Seeing Li Shangshu's embarrassed look, He Siping dragged the black brown paper bag back, knocked twice on the paper bag with his right hand, and said, "I have security here for the lawsuit of your criminal department." - Do you want me to point you the earliest date? ”

Li Shangshu hurriedly smiled and said, "Don't bother Brother He." When the brother goes back, he will definitely deal with the case of Brother He's family immediately. ”

He Siping let go of Li Shangshu at this time, and reminded him when he left: "I can't see the schedule tomorrow, so I blame the official for not being merciful!" ”

Li Shangshu left the Metropolitan Procuratorate sweating, although he said in his heart that He Siping scolded a thief to death, but there was nothing he could do. He Siping is capable, and he has the "black materials" of hundreds of officials, and he is right, and he is a rare civil official who is not greedy. It's really not that easy to take his mistakes.

After Li Shangshu went back, a day later, a summons was sent to Mrs. Ning Yuanhou, and the wives of the other three noble mansions who promised to testify also received posts from the Criminal Department.

He Ningxin explained to Nie Wei the precautions when he passed the hall. Pei Shufen was not idle over there, after she went in and out of the palace a few times, the three noble mansions who were about to testify spread the news that the three ladies were sick with the epidemic and could not pass the court, and they could not even stay in the capital, and they had to move to Zhuangzi in the suburbs to recuperate.
