Lin Boqin was stunned when he heard this.

He vaguely guessed the relationship between Liang Muniang and Zhu Chengye, but these speculations were just assumptions made to uncover the truth.

Yang La asked at this time: "My lord, what should I do with this crazy woman?" ”

Lin Boqin looked at her deeply, waved his hand, and said, "Bring people back to the yamen." ”

The two of them found ropes and temporarily tied the madwoman's hands and feet.

The old lady at the door saw it, and hurriedly walked over: "Lighter, lighter." Her voice was a little choked, "She's a hard worker, don't hurt her." ”

Lin Boqin was soft-hearted, and immediately explained that Yang La and Hu Yu acted lightly.

A few people returned to the county office, the sky gradually dawned, and the morning glow on the top of the mountain was faint, as if soaked in blood, showing a faint red.

The crazy old woman was struggling all the way, and Gu Jingtong also thought that she was pretending to be crazy, but she stepped forward to ask, and almost bit off her nose, and suddenly felt that this woman was crazy.

When they arrived at the torture room, Yang La and Hu Yu shackled the madwoman two or three times and tied them to the post with ropes to make sure that she would not break free.

"Take off her shoes." Lin Boqin commanded in a deep voice.

Hu Yu ripped off her rag shoes, revealing a pair of deformed feet with little toes.

Dirty and covered with dirt, without bones, curled up in a ball, the same as Su Yu's lesions.

The mad old woman screamed and screamed, and she kept writhing, rubbing her feet on top of each other, as if she was afraid of being seen. Lin Boqin took out the straw figure with Zhu Chengye's name written on it and shook it in front of her eyes: "What does this person have to do with you?" ”

"Hehe ......" The crazy old woman's eyes suddenly widened, and she grew her mouth and wanted to bite the straw man, as if she was very hateful.

Yang La and Hu Yu hurriedly held her down and scolded: "Don't move! ”

Lin Boqin took back the straw man, and he had a bottom in his heart.

He turned around and asked Gu Jingtong, "Where is Ke Zhixi now?" ”

"It's in the county office."

"Bring Ke Zhixi, Li Zhongyi, Su Mei, and Su Yu to prepare for the promotion." Lin Boqin said this, and his tone paused, "By the way, there is another person, you also bring it." ”

Gu Jingtong frowned slightly: "Who?" ”

Lin Boqin raised his finger and pointed at the crazy old woman: "Her ex-husband, Zhao Jie." ”

***

Chu Cheng didn't sleep well all night.

Maybe it's been raining for too long, and my mind is always a little groggy.

So much so that when she came to report to the county government that she wanted to ascend to the hall and take Su Yu away, she didn't react for a long time.

"Ascended so quickly? What did Lin Boqin find out? ”

Mabi shook her head: "I don't know yet, is Madam going to audit?" ”

"Go, of course." Chu Ji held her head with a splitting headache, "Bring me a piece of clothing." ”

Mabi picked out a brocade skirt with light purple embroidered butterflies, Chu Cheng didn't sleep well, she was very haggard, wearing this made Mabi think of the words described in the book: delicate flowers shine on the water, weak willows support the wind, and the sick is like Xizi wins three points.

Chu Xiancai didn't care what she looked like, she pulled Su Yu, who was full of panic, and comforted: "No matter what happens in the county government later, you have to be calm." You're a man, you can't be cowardly, you know? ”

Su Yu was very nervous, but when he heard Chu Cheng's words, he calmed down a little: "Mrs. Lin, I'm ...... I understand. ”

He hung his head: "No matter what the result, I can accept it." ”

Chu Cheng saw that he had to bear these at a young age, and couldn't help but touch his head in distress.

When I came to the county office, there were already two people kneeling in the court.

One is Su Mei, and the other is Li Zhongyi.

Lin Boqin hadn't slept all night, and his face looked a little gray, but the pair of bright eyes under the black veil were extremely deep and sharp.

"Mother!" When Su Yu saw Su Mei, she stepped forward quickly, held her hand, and said in a choked voice, "Your hair is a lot grayer." ”

Su Mei hadn't seen her son for many days, and she missed her very much, so she held Su Yu's arm tightly: "Yu'er! Thank you Lord Lin for taking care of me these days, and the women are grateful! After speaking, she hurriedly kowtowed to Lin Boqin.

Lin Boqin raised his hand slightly, and his face was grim: "Su Mei, you said that you were pregnant for nine months and gave birth to Su Yu. Su Yu was born with a disability in both toes because of the inheritance of your left toe, right? ”

Su Mei was stunned and bowed: "...... Right. ”

Li Zhongyi looked at Su Yu, Su Yu met his eyes, busy and avoided.

"Li Zhongyi."

"The grass people are here!"

Lin Boqin's eyelids lifted slightly: "You think Su Yu is the son of your wife Zhu's difficult birth, and Su Mei delivered the baby at the beginning, and stole it while the child was out of breath." ”

Li Zhongyi hurriedly said: "Not bad! In fact, my son did not die, it was Su Mei who deliberately refused to return my Li family bloodline! ”

Su Mei turned her head and said, "Li Zhongyi, so far, you are still talking nonsense!" It's better to drop blood and recognize your relatives to see if it's your son! ”

Li Zhongyi sneered: "The method of dripping blood to recognize relatives is unreliable, Pingzhen has been announced to the world in three years, and the world knows that even if you bring a dog, the blood will be integrated." Now that you are talking about blood and recognizing your relatives, aren't you empty-hearted? Su Mei was speechless by his words, and after a long time, she turned her head and cried to Lin Boqin: "Please also ask Lord Lin to be the master of the people's women!" ”

Lin Boqin didn't listen to her words.

He asked Gu Jingtong to show Li Zhongyi the scarecrow with the needle, and asked, "Do you know this Zhu Chengye?" ”

Li Zhongyi was stunned: "It's the biological father of the deceased wife." ”

Lin Boqin bowed: "It seems that Ke Zhixi is not lying. ”

"Ke Zhixi?" When Li Zhongyi heard this name, his figure shook slightly, and the expression on his face was very complicated, "My lord, where is Ke Zhixi?" Grass Folk ...... There are many things I want to say to him. ”

Lin Boqin said lightly: "Don't worry, you'll see you later." His tone paused, "What do you know about Zhu Chengye?" ”

Li Zhongyi lowered his head and thought about it, recalling: "He has been dead for many years, and I don't know much about him. But I heard that Zhu Chengye is very dishonest, and his deceased wife's mother-in-law often fights with him because of this, because of this reason, the deceased wife does not often return to her parents' house, saying that she is very unaccustomed to Zhu Chengye. He didn't know what he had to do with Zhu's father when he was fighting for a child with Su Mei, and he couldn't help frowning.

Lin Boqin asked Ke Zhixi about Zhu Chengye before, and Ke Zhixi also replied like this.

He knew what to expect, and asked, "Did Zhu Chengye find a concubine outside?" ”

Li Zhongyi was stunned: "I don't know about this." ”

"Su Mei, then you can tell me."

Su Mei was stunned for a moment, a little confused, and asked tremblingly: "My lord, does this Zhu Chengye have a concubine...... How would I know? ”

Lin Boqin looked at her coldly, as if smiling: "If you don't know, who will know?" He waved his hand and asked people to take out Liang Muniang's tablet, "Why, looking at the tablet now, can't you recognize it?" ”

Su Mei's face changed slightly.

"My lord, the women don't understand."

Lin Boqin's face sank, and he said the word "good", asking Hu Yu and Yang La to bring the crazy old woman to the hall, he stared at Su Mei and said sharply: "In this case, you must know this person." ”

The crazy old woman has been simply groomed, changed into clean muslin clothes, and her gray hair is neatly coiled behind her head, if it weren't for the confused and crazy look in her big eyes, she would look like a normal person.

Li Zhongyi saw that someone was coming, and couldn't help but get up and rush forward, holding her hand with tears in his eyes: "Xiujun! ”

The crazy old woman was so frightened that she trembled, and with a strange cry of "ahhhhh

Yang La and Hu Yu cut the crazy old woman's hands back, Li Zhongyi came back to his senses, he took a few steps back, his eyes were shocked: "No...... You're not Xiujun, Xiujun has a red mole on the left side of her face, and she died in childbirth ten years ago! I sealed her coffin with my own hands! ”

He suddenly turned around, knelt on the ground, and asked Lin Boqin, "Lord Lin, who is this woman?" Why did she ...... with Xiujun My deceased wife looks so similar? ”

Lin Boqin did not answer his question directly.

He looked at Su Mei coldly, and his voice was rigid without a trace of emotion: "I'm afraid I have to ask Su Mei." ”

Su Mei lowered her head very low, she almost didn't dare to look at Lin Boqin in the court, let alone look directly at the words "Mirror hangs high".

Seeing her attitude, Su Yu hurriedly stepped forward on her knees and shook Su Mei's arm violently: "Mother, you speak, mother!" Who is this woman? Do you know her? Mother, what the hell is going on, mother! ”

"You still call her mother?" Li Zhongyi couldn't stand it anymore, he raised his hand and pointed, "Su Mei looks like a thief, how can it be your biological mother!" Yu'er, you are my father's biological child! ”

Su Yu was dumbfounded, he was only afraid.

He looked at Chu Cheng outside the public hall at a loss, and muttered with his mouth: "Madam." ”

How could Chu Yu see Su Yu so helpless, she couldn't help but urge: "Lin Boqin, is it okay to try the case quickly, what is the matter?" ”

She shouted in front of the hall, and Gu Jingtong couldn't help but be surprised.

You must know that Lin Boqin attaches the most importance to court etiquette.

He subconsciously looked at Lin Boqin's expression, not only was he annoyed, as if he had become accustomed to it...... Well, this Li Siniang is really capable.

Lin Boqin didn't even bother to scold Chu Hui, he didn't hear it, only stared at Su Mei, and asked, "Su Mei, don't you know this woman?" ”

"I don't know."

Su Mei replied with her eyes down.

"Lie!" Lin Boqin slapped the wood in shock, and with a "snap", all four were shocked.

Sumesser flinched, not daring to say a word.

Lin Boqin said coldly: "If you don't say it, this official will say it for you." This madwoman is Zhu's half-sister, the daughter of Zhu Chengye and Liang Muniang. She moved to Qingyuan County with Liang Muniang, and lived in poverty. Zhu didn't know where to learn about this, so she often brought silver rice and noodles to help, but she didn't want Li Zhongyi to know, so she had been secretly helping. And you, Su Mei, Zhu's best friend, she will definitely confide in you if she can't hide her words, presumably you have also accompanied Zhu to help her sister, right? ”

Su Mei's face changed drastically.

Her head seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, and her forehead was clinging to the bluestone bricks in the court.

When Su Yu heard this, he only felt that there was a fog in the clouds, he clasped his hands together, and looked at Lin Boqin anxiously: "Lord Lin, what does this have to do with my life experience?" What the hell am I my mother...... Su Mei's child, or Uncle Li's child? ”

Lin Boqin stared at him with a somewhat complicated expression.

After a while, he said, "Neither." ”

“…… What the? Li Zhongyi and Su Yu asked in unison.

Lin Boqin raised his hand and pointed at the crazy woman in the corner, and said lightly: "If this official is not mistaken, she is your biological mother." ”
