When Zhu Youning came to the front hall, the eighth master of the Buddha had already told Steward Yan the news of the loss of Jiang's corpse.

Steward Yan was hit hard, he was stunned, his eyes were confused, his face turned pale, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses, and his eyes were red: "How come?" There are so many people, Fang Qingtian is still in that town, and the Jinyi Guard's cavalry is also guarding, so many people can't look at a corpse, can they still ask someone to steal it? What do those people in Shuntianfu do to eat! ”

The eighth master of the Buddha looked at him with compassion, and the sandalwood Buddha beads in his hand were slowly coiled, and he lowered his eyes without saying a word.

At this time, it is inconvenient for the eighth master of the Buddha to say anything, even if he has just been dismissed, it is an indisputable fact that he used to be a Jinyi guard.

Zhu Youning said soothingly: "Steward Yan, the matter has come to this, let's think about what to do next." ”

Steward Yan nodded with a calm face, at this time he really felt that the situation was worse, and there was little hope.

"Who would have thought that the people on Jiang Ge's side would act like this, and the corpse capital would be able to steal it when it arrives in Shuntian Mansion."

The eighth master of the Buddha smiled bitterly: "This is also helpless. In order to snatch the corpse before, I also set a fire to someone's house, even if the burn was not serious, there were no casualties, and in the end it fell into the inferiority. ”

Steward Yan shook his head for a long time before he said, "This matter is not easy to handle, and I am afraid that Uncle will really be more auspicious." I'd better write a letter to tell my wife, the old lady, and the old lady...... It's just that it's cold, and if they come to Beijing from Qiongzhou, they don't know if they can see the last side of their uncle. ”

Steward Yan said, his voice already choked.

Zhu Youning also sighed and asked the eighth master of the Buddha: "Now that this incident has happened, will the trial of the case be postponed?" It's been a year. Did the eighth master hear the news? ”

The eighth master of the Buddha said: "I came to tell the girl the news. The Holy One meant that Lord Fang had ended the case a few years ago, and the trial was originally scheduled to start tomorrow, but now although the autopsy cannot be performed, the day of the trial remains the same. ”

Steward Yan said dejectedly: "The trial will start tomorrow?" Wouldn't it be time to recover the body? ”

"The Holy One means that it should be done as soon as possible, and the old case must not be turned over the year."

In other words, even if there is no time to find the evidence for Yan Sui's reversal, he will have to forcibly go to court.

The eighth master of the Buddha looked at Zhu Youning, and said with a warm smile: "The girl is a smart person, she should know the key at this time." Originally, there was very little evidence in favor of Uncle Yan. Now the autopsy is not going anywhere, and the only one left to prove Uncle Yan's innocence is probably the only person who proves Shen Xiu's innocence. However, during this time, Shen Xiushu has been closed. His position is already clear. ”

Steward Yan put away his chaotic emotions and looked at the Buddha Eighth Master and Zhu Youning nervously without saying a word.

The eighth master didn't care about Steward Yan's eyes, and gave Zhu Youning advice seriously.

"When Shen Xiu arrives in court, ninety percent of them will make a fuss, and then the uncle will be speechless.

"According to what the girl said before, the person who can prove that Shen Xiu accompanied the uncle to withdraw from the marriage that day, except for the housekeeper Yan and the elder Yanfei in the house, there is only the girl.

"Steward Yan and Yan Fei are counted as uncle's family, and if the confession is exonerated it must be questioned, the girl's words are the key. It's time for the girl to think about it, are you really going to testify in court? ”

Steward Yan clenched his fists nervously and looked at Zhu Youning expectantly.

Zhu Youning was silent for a moment, then nodded with a smile.

The eighth master of the Buddha sighed: "You are a woman, it is not a child's play to go to court, you will have to show people in women's clothes when you are then, but it is not as easy as wearing men's clothes to go shopping on the street in the past." What you have to face will be the entire conservative civil official faction, and none of the civil servants headed by Jiang Ge Lao and Yang Ge Lao are easy to get along with.

"They are likely to slander you, even slander you, ruin your reputation, and cut off your future. Do you still have to testify? ”

Steward Yan listened to the words of the eighth master of the Buddha, and the expectation and pleading in his eyes gradually faded.

Can he really force a little girl who has not yet reached the end of his life to show up like this for the sake of his young master?

Zhu Youning has actually done enough in the past few days.

Zhu Youning's short silence seemed very long for Steward Yan, he was a person with strong martial arts, but his heartbeat at this time was even more urgent than after a hard fight for a day and a night.

Zhu Youning said: "I have made up my mind. Thank you for your kindness. ”

Steward Yan's spirit suddenly relaxed, and he suddenly knelt down and kowtowed to Zhu Youning, "Thank you Miss Zhu for your kindness!" ”

"Steward Yan, please get up!" Zhu Youning turned sideways to avoid not being courteous to him, and let Bai Ling and Dou Wanwan beside him support him.

Steward Yan stood up, already in tears, "The old slave thanked the girl on behalf of my uncle!" ”

"You're welcome, if something so big happens, I naturally have to do my best, so it won't be in vain for me and my uncle and friends."

Seeing that Zhu Youning attached so much importance to righteousness, the Eighth Master of the Buddha had a better sense of her, and he also attached a little more importance to the future master he had chosen.

The eighth master of the Buddha said: "Since the girl has made up her mind, how to act must be considered in the long run." I see that my uncle's confession to you has never been recruited. If only Shen Xiu is mentioned, there is no strong evidence to prove that Shen Xiu accompanied him to withdraw from the marriage. I'm worried that my uncle will still be like this when he goes to court, won't it be in line with Jiang Ge's old people's minds? In that case, the girl would not even have the opportunity to be summoned to testify in court. ”

Steward Yan said anxiously: "How can this be good?" Why don't I persuade my uncle? ”

"Early this morning, the uncle has already mentioned the detention of Shuntianfu Prison from Beizhen Fusi, and Fang Qingtian ordered people to take care of it strictly, and it is impossible for people to pass on collusions."

"What then!" Steward Yan was in a hurry.

Zhu Youning pondered for a moment and asked, "There will be a lot of officials who will be heard tomorrow, right?" After all, this is the first major case of this dynasty in recent years. ”

The eighth master of the Buddha's smile deepened, "Miss Zhu is very smart. ”

Zhu Youning only smiled and waved his hand.

Steward Yan didn't understand what kind of dumb riddle these two were playing, so he hurriedly asked Zhu Youning.

Zhu Youning only said: "Don't worry, Steward Yan, I naturally have a way." ”

Early the next morning.

Outside the Yamen of Shuntian Mansion, there were already three layers of inner and outer three layers surrounded by the people early in the morning.

In this era, the people's life is very boring, there is no entertainment, and it is very rare to encounter such a major event, but anyone who has some conditions will rush to watch the excitement.

The lobby of Shuntianfu was wide open, and the courtyard was surrounded by a wooden fence, and there were soap officials and servants who maintained order outside early to avoid crowding the people.

Because the courtyard is spacious and the distance between the lobby and the distance, the people stand outside the circle, and can only vaguely see the outline of the people inside, but they can't see the faces of the people clearly, let alone hear the voices inside.

It was the Yamen of the Shuntian Mansion that specially arranged two high-pitched voices to explain the progress of the case to the people.

At this time, above the lobby, the presiding judge official Jin Rui has not yet arrived.

Under the plaque hanging high in the mirror, a huge long table has been placed with pen, ink, paper, inkstone, black, white and red sticks, shocking wood and other things, but behind the table is placed five circle chairs side by side.
