As soon as the old man said this, everyone was shocked.

Lin Boqin immediately took it to the morgue, uncovered the white cloth, and revealed the face of the female corpse: "She is Li Siniang?" ”

When the old man saw it, he immediately cried and beat his chest: "Daughter! O my poor daughter! Didn't you marry Wangzhou to be the county lady, how could you die here for no apparent reason! ”

Lin Boqin's face became more and more gloomy.

He stared at the old man and said sharply: "You said that the deceased is your daughter, is there any evidence?" ”

The old man burst into tears, he raised his sleeves and wiped his eyes, and then pointed to the knees covered by the corpse: "My daughter has a red mole on both knees, which is extremely symmetrical, and adults don't believe it, so you can check it." ”

Hu Yu immediately lifted the trouser leg of the female corpse with Liu Yanzuo, and sure enough, there were red and bright spots on the left and right knees.

"Your Excellency...... This female corpse is really Li Siniang! ”

Liu Yanzuo said in horror.

"Empty words."

After a while, Lin Boqin forced these words out from between his teeth.

The old man was stunned, and then hurriedly took out the identity document from his arms: "Adults can see it, this is the grass people's document, and it is also stamped with the official seal of the Yunzhou Mansion!" ”

In the Great Yuan Dynasty, forging an official seal was a capital crime of beheading, and no one would make such a big deal in order to slander others.

Lin Boqin took the document and read it carefully several times, but in the end, he closed it with a "snap" and threw it to the old man, but he didn't answer.

The bottom of my heart is already in a mess.

The old man looked at the female corpse, cried even more fiercely, and he choked up: "Half a year ago, I personally sent my daughter to the sedan chair to Wangzhou...... By the way, Lord Lin, do you remember that you asked a head catcher named 'Yang La' to temporarily pick up his relatives? I had a relationship with Yang La, and I also gave him a red envelope of ten cents, you find him, he is your subordinate, he will not lie! ”

Lin Boqin's eyebrows jumped: "Yang La is not in Wangzhou." ”

"That'...... When will Yang Zhutou come back? At that time, the identity of the grass people will be known as soon as you ask! ”

Lin Boqin sank his face, and then said: "Before Yang La comes back, I will ask you to temporarily live in the mansion in case the official can summon him at any time." ”

The old man responded with fear.

Lin Boqin walked to the back hall without saying a word.

Seeing this, Hu Yu was a little anxious in his heart, and he quickly stepped forward and asked, "My lord, don't you really believe in this old man's nonsense?" How could Madame be someone else impersonating? ”

Lin Boqin's face sank like water and did not answer.

His mind was a little confused.

Hu Yu hurriedly said again: "My lord, what if Mrs. is a fake? She didn't commit adultery, didn't kill people and set fires, is it because she is not really Li Siniang, don't you want Mrs.? ”

Hearing this, Lin Boqin suddenly stopped.

Concern is chaos.

He didn't even think about it.

Chu Cheng and him have been known all the way, even if she is not really Li Siniang, it is Zhang Siniang, Wang Siniang, so what? It was her that he liked, not the name.

Thinking of this, Lin Boqin's expression softened a little.

Even if Chu Cheng is pretending to be his wife, at most she is just a poor girl, and she wants to find a good person to live comfortably. What if she knows martial arts, what if she is not Li Siniang, as long as she does not touch the laws of this dynasty and touches the bottom line of the official, he can turn a blind eye.

***

For three whole days, Lin Boqin did not return home.

Chu Cheng dragged Xi Du to inquire, and Xi Du also bluntly said that Lin Boqin was busy with official business, and he really couldn't get out.

Chu Cheng thought about Li Siniang's death, and she was a little uneasy these days, so she made some soup and prepared to take it to the government office for Lin Boqin to taste.

It's early spring, but it's still quite cold.

Chu Cheng wrapped her spring shirt tightly and carried the food box on her shoulder, and then she climbed the stairs of the mansion and saw an old man of about ten or fifty coming towards her.

The old man was wearing a thick padded jacket with dust, and his whole person was very bloated, and he walked staggeringly, feeling that he would fall on his stomach in the next second. Unexpectedly, as soon as this thought arose, the old man stepped on the snow on the side of the road, his feet slipped, and he was about to fall to the ground, Chu Ji stepped forward quickly and held him up: "Uncle, are you okay?" ”

The old man looked at Chu Hui, and his pupils shrank suddenly.

His body seemed to be a little stiff, but soon, he looked behind Chu Cheng and whispered, "...... Look, sir, ......."

"Uncle Li, please leave for the time being."

Chu Cheng suddenly turned around, and saw Lin Boqin standing under the eaves of the corridor behind him, I don't know if he hadn't seen him for a few days, he looked a little thin, and there was a faint dark green under his eyes.

The old man pointed at Chu Cheng and said hurriedly: "My lord, but ......"

"I'll tell you to step down!"

With a scolding, the old man and Chu Cheng were startled.

The old man looked at Chu Cheng helplessly, and turned around and left from the Yuanjing Gate.

"Husband." Chu Cheng frowned, stepped forward and asked, "Who is that old man?" Why don't you treat him at all? ”

She raised her face, her delicate eyes full of innocence and doubt.

In the sun, her skin was delicate and snow-white, as if it could be broken by blowing.

Lin Boqin's eyes flickered slightly, he raised his hand and stroked Chu Cheng's eyelashes: "It's nothing, you don't have to ask." ”

In the past few days, Lin Boqin has also thought it through carefully, whether she is Li Siniang or not, it doesn't matter. As long as she confesses everything, he can not blame the past.

"Sister-in-law."

Lin Boqin looked at the direction that Old Man Li left, "Is there anything you are hiding from me?" ”

Chu Cheng was shocked in her heart.

Her face was very calm, and she said in a deep voice: "Even if I hide anything from you, it is for your good." After a pause, she suddenly smiled and said, "Just like the last time I bought honey, Wangzhou wanted to sell it for two taels of silver, but I told you consistently, I'm afraid that you know that honey is too expensive and won't eat the pastries I made for you." You see, I'm hiding this from you, and if you don't get angry, it's good for you! ”

Lin Boqin didn't expect her to explain like this.

He chuckled.

"It's okay, you can buy whatever you want, although I don't have much, but it's more than enough to support you."

When Chu Cheng heard this, she also laughed.

When she left the palace, she brought a lot of silver, which I am afraid will not be able to spend in a lifetime. However, at this time, Lin Boqin suddenly restrained his smile and asked, "Then what wrong things have you done in your life?" ”

What the...... Murder and arson, fraud and fraud?

His tone was a little serious, which gave Chu Cheng goosebumps.

"What can I do wrong?" Before Chu Cheng could react, she thought for a while, "Is it a mistake to steal my mother's hairpin when I was a child?" ”

Before Lin Boqin could speak, Chu Cheng hurriedly said: "I have changed now, I have never stolen anything from others again, and I also returned the hairpin to my mother later!" "That's the hairpin paid tribute by the Turkic envoys, and the queen mother was looking for it all over the palace at that time, did she dare not return it?

She took Lin Boqin's arm, raised her eyes, and blinked: "After so many years, I really have never done anything wrong again. ”

Lin Boqin raised his hand and rubbed the top of her hair.

Well, he believed her.

If she didn't do anything wrong, then she can be forgiven. Not violating the laws of the imperial court, not being careless of human life, is his bottom line.

He could even tolerate her...... Deceive yourself.

Lie to his body, to deceive his heart.

At this moment, there was a sound of horses' hooves outside the door, and Lin Boqin walked over with Chu Hui, but saw Yang La and Gu Jingtong bolting horses to the wall.

"Your Excellency!"

Yang La and Gu Jingtong saw him, and hurriedly strode up the steps, looking a little helpless.

"How? Can you find out the identity of the female corpse? ”

Yang La shook his head: "No, I searched several neighboring counties in Wangzhou, but no one lost the woman." ”

Chu Cheng breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this.

When Gu Jingtong saw Chu Cheng, he shook his fan and stepped forward and asked, "Mrs. Lin, I heard that you were scared when you saw the female corpse last time?" Without waiting for Chu Ji to answer, he smiled again and said, "How did you become so timid?" I remember you used to be very bold! ”

Chu Cheng glared at him: "You want to take care of it?" ”

Lin Boqin, who was on the side, was slightly stunned when he heard Gu Jingtong's unintentional words.

Yes, Chu Cheng was very bold before, she even dared to take out the residual poison in the Yun family's mouth, but why did she see a female corpse that had been dead for seven or eight days, and she would be so out of shape that day? Don't...... Is it because she knows the female corpse and knows that the female corpse is Li Siniang?

Lin Boqin clenched his fists.

Chu Ji was still arguing with Gu Jingtong, but he felt a little muddy in his mind.

"Sister, I have something to discuss with Lord Yang Lagu, you go back first."

"Oh." Chu Cheng grimaced at Gu Jingtong, turned his head and asked, "What about you, will you go home at night?" ”

Hearing the word "home", Lin Boqin felt a slight warmth in his heart, he glanced at Yang La, and shook his head: "No." ”

Chu Cheng muttered a few words unhappily, and then looked at him reluctantly before turning around and leaving the mansion.

Gu Jingtong tapped his palm rhythmically with a folding fan, for some reason, he felt that Lin Boqin was a little strange today. He couldn't hide what he wanted to say, so he asked.

Lin Boqin did not answer immediately.

He looked at Yang La, but asked, "Yang La, when you went to Yunzhou to pick up your relatives that day, did you see the true face of your wife?" ”

Yang La didn't expect Lin Boqin to ask this, he thought he would ask what clues he had found, so he immediately scratched his head, and the second monk was confused.

“…… I've seen it, at the inn. Yang La tried to recall, "Just two days before I arrived in Wangzhou, Lord Nahuo was in the inn to check on Jiangyang's thief Yu Xuanji, I mistakenly broke into Mrs. Tianzi No. 1 room and saw Mrs. 's true face. ”

Well, the lady in a wedding dress is particularly good-looking!

Lin Boqin's eyes couldn't help but narrow: "Jiangyang thief Jade Xuanji? His tone froze, "What happened that day, you told me the truth." ”

Although Yang La was strange, he didn't hide it in the end.

After Lin Boqin heard this, his heart was a little relieved.

Since Yang La has seen Li Siniang's true face, it must be Chu Cheng. Could it be that the old man is lying?

He gave Hu Yu a look, and after a while, Hu Yu brought Old Man Li over.

Lin Boqin was about to ask Yang Lake if he knew this person, but he saw Yang La pat his thigh, and stepped forward to be very familiar with Old Man Li: "Uncle Li!" Why did you come from Yunzhou? Didn't you come to visit your wife and your lordship? ”

"Yang catches the head! Yang catches the head! It's really you! Old man Li almost jumped up with joy, he looked at Lin Boqin, and said anxiously, "Explain to your lord!" ”

Lin Boqin stiffened and looked at Yang La: "Do you know him?" ”

Yang La asked inexplicably: "Adults don't know him?" He's your father-in-law! ”
