Chen Ling nodded and said, "Be careful, if you encounter anything strange, tell me immediately." ”

"Yes." As she spoke, Ju'er walked out and commanded.

Chen Ling burned the note to ashes.

A few days later, Ju'er received news that she had found evidence that the former corrupt official was not Liu Xiangping but someone else, and even found the maid who escaped after being sold with the Liu family.

Ju'er said: "The slave maid has asked those witnesses to be placed in the small house in the city, do you want to go in person, Miss?" ”

"Yes." Chen Ling paced, "It's just that it's all going too well." ”

It was so smooth that she felt a little strange, but it was all so smooth that she couldn't find any mistakes.

After thinking about it, Ju'er was indeed too smooth: "Then Miss, are you going to give up?" ”

She shook her head and said, "Of course not!" If I'm not mistaken, when King Yu first contacted me, what he wanted most was for me to intervene in the case and clear the grievances of the Liu family. ”

Secondly, it is to disturb people's hearts for him.

It's just that why he never mentioned it is unknown.

Ju'er asked, "Is this really that tricky?" Miss, shall we stop? If the king blames him, I am afraid that you will also be implicated. ”

"It's just implicated, and no one can die." Chen Ling swore solemnly, "Because I am a saint, there are saints who are prosperous in the country of Chen, and there are no saints in the country of Chen, which is the number of qi is exhausted, and the troubled times are coming." ”

Under the pressure of such public opinion, the king would never kill her.

When Ju'er heard this, her heart fell on the hanging stone: "Miss is smart." ”

"You go and send someone to watch and see if anyone is secretly helping us." After thinking about it, Chen Ling said solemnly, "That person will definitely not be Ouyang Yu." ”

"Yes."

Chen Ling and Ju'er went out together, came to the small house, looked at the group of people who were tied up in the backyard by five flowers, and raised a faint smile: "Everyone, please don't panic, I invited you to come over, just to understand some old things." ”

As she spoke, she asked people to untie the ropes, took away the strips of cloth from their mouths, and carried them all on the tables and chairs, and then said, "I just want to know, how much do you know about Liu Xiangping's Liu family back then?" ”

Everyone shook their heads when they heard this.

Chen Ling pointed to the first middle-aged woman: "You were originally the maidservant of the Liu Xiangping family?" ”

Then, she pointed to another old woman who was over half a hundred years old: "I heard that you used to help the big families in the royal city deliver babies, and you are a reliable and stable wife?" ”

…… After talking about their identities one by one, they realized that the people who were close to them a few days ago were actually her subordinates.

The middle-aged woman was the first to speak: "What do you want to do?" ”

"I just want to collect some useful evidence and overturn the case for the Liu family." Chen Ling blinked his eyes with a sincere expression, "My family is good friends with the Liu family, and I want to find favorable evidence and overturn the case for him." ”

The middle-aged woman's eyes immediately lit up: "Really? ”

"Hmm." Chen Ling promised, "I can still keep you safe, and I won't be implicated in this matter." ”

Everyone looked at her suspiciously, obviously not believing it.

Chen Ling once again promised: "I have the support of the king behind me, don't you believe this?" ”

Hearing the king, everyone's eyes lit up. He is not only the god of war of Chen Guo, but also a student of Liu Xiangping, and he protected the bloodline of the Liu family afterwards.

If he really came out, maybe the matter really turned around.

They finally opened their mouths and knew everything. Chen Ling sat aside and listened carefully, until the last person's words shocked her: "I used to be the son of the Liu family, and I have served Master Liu for more than ten years. Master Liu did not embezzle the treasury, but someone else. Merely...... At the beginning, the king insisted that it was the master who stole the treasury, and he was convicted of finding the official silver in the cellar of his home for some reason. ”

"I heard the lord say that the king's move was because of the former saint - Haiyue. The lord once fell in love with the holy daughter of Haiyue at first sight, and although he did not entangle after knowing that it was a holy woman, the lord has always hidden the holy daughter in his heart. It wasn't until the Imperial Garden banquet fourteen years ago that the lord met her again, who had become the queen, and painted a portrait of Haiyue after returning to the mansion......"

Chen Ling frowned: "Fourteen years ago, the current leftover girl was not born yet?" ”

"Hmm." The woman had several more scars on her face, a little hideous, "At that time, Haiyue had already broken the current saintess, and after a few words with the master, the tragedy that followed." ”

Chen Ling was stunned for a moment, if this is calculated, it was Haiyue who was the queen at that time, but why did Liu Xiangping's case have the seal of the queen of the harem?

The corruption case on the surface has nothing to do with the harem. This time, doesn't it make the world more suspicious of the relationship between Liu Xiangping and Haiyue?

After thinking for a long time, she still asked: "At that time, Haiyue was still the queen, did she help Liu Xiangping intercede?" ”

"Naturally, she tried this case herself! It's just that the certified physical evidence was there at that time, and Queen Haiyue couldn't do anything. As she spoke, the woman lowered her eyes. If it weren't for that, she would still be living a peaceful life with her master, and her parents would not have died of illness in exile.

It's no wonder.

After sorting out the general matter, Chen Ling asked again: "You said that there was still physical evidence in the case at that time?" ”

"Yes." She said, "It was the head of the household at that time." Although he was an official master, he was jealous because of his brilliant talent, and later became a master of the princes, which made Lord Shangshu very dissatisfied. At that time, when the accident happened, he said that the old man had stolen the official silver from the treasury. ”

Chen Ling asked again, "Where is that Lord Shangshu now?" ”

"Soon after the master was beheaded, the lord returned to his hometown, and the grass people here are really not clear."

Hearing this, Chen Ling sent someone to check the basic situation of the former Shangshu Lord again, and found that his hometown was in Beimingcheng, not far from the royal city.

"Ju'er, send someone to check if this old man is still there."

"Yes."

A few days later, the news came that the old man had long since died.

They rummaged through the old man's house, inside and out, and finally found an account in the cellar of the study. It is the treasury account book of that year, and it is written very clearly one column at a time.

Chen Ling flipped to the last one, and the last amount of money was written on it, and there was no payee. And this amount happened to be exactly the same as what was found in Liu Xiangping's house - one million taels of silver!

She was completely sure that this was a crime of planting blame.

And the purpose is to eradicate Liu Xiangping.

"Ju'er, do you have any other clues?"

"There is only one old man cleaning and taking care of the old house, do you want to bring him here?" Ju'er looked at the description in the envelope, 1510 authentic.

Chen Ling said coldly: "No, I'll go in person." ”
