Chapter 462: Forgetting Worries and the State Banquet (7)

"This case is a bit weird, and I can't talk too much to you before Lord Xin opens the trial."

"Come less, if you really don't want to tell us, you won't deliberately call us in at the yamen just now, and you will deliberately arrange for us and my wife to come to this pavilion. Well, look at the fruit snacks on this table, which are all necessary to listen to stories. Bai Li pointed from the fruit to the snack, and from the dim sum to the tea: "Let's talk about it, you and we are not unfamiliar, our husband and wife are strict-mouthed, and we will never tell these inside stories before Lord Xin tries the case." ”

"Mr. Bai, I can trust me, but Li'er, you-" Gao Zhan shook his head and took out a fragrant pear from the fruit bowl: "If you are strict-mouthed, there will be no one in Huaxi Town who is not strict-mouthed." ”

"Underestimate me, don't you? I swear in front of my husband that I will never say anything about this incident. Bai Li raised one hand and made an oath, but Bai Ze gently pressed the finger she had just raised again.

"I can vouch for my wife."

"Since Mr. Bai said so, then I will tell you reluctantly." Gao Zhan gently threw the pear up, and caught it steadily: "I'm not afraid to tell you about this matter, but I'm afraid that I won't be able to explain it clearly and make mistakes." ”

"Let's talk about it first, I'll fill in the mistakes myself." Bai Li made a good gesture to listen to the story: "Don't worry, as far as the number of scripts I read, maybe I can still provide you yamen with ideas to solve the case." ”

"Okay, then I'll say whatever I know." Gao Zhan leaned against the pillar: "Young Mrs. Lin should have been killed before the ugly time, the Lin family reported to the official in Yinshi, and the Wang family got the news in Maoshi, when we had already come out of the Lin family." This young lady Lin was indeed poisoned and died, this poison is not rare, it is arsenic, judging from the reaction of the deceased, the poisoning is not deep, if you seek medical attention in time, you may be able to save your life. ”

"Didn't the Lin family send the young lady to see the doctor?"

"No, according to Lin Zhiyang, they didn't expect that Mrs. Lin would be poisoned. He left his shop when he was ugly, this Lin family has a guy who lives in the store, the young man remembers very clearly, Lin Zhiyang just left with his front foot, and he heard the sound of beating the watch with his back foot, so at this hour, he will not be mistaken. And the merchants who left the shop with Lin Zhiyang were also the merchants who had conflicts with him, and they had a few arguments on the way, and they almost started. We have also verified this point, and it is all true. The merchants had met with the watchman on the street, and we also inquired about the watchman and confirmed what the businessmen said. ”

"If you look at it this way, this Lin Zhiyang's alibi evidence chain is perfect."

"Indeed." Gao Zhan nodded: "Master Lin was not in the mansion at the time, but was drinking and chatting with a few friends in the wine shop. We have also been to the wine shop, not only can drink, but also stay, and the second child in the store also confirmed that at the time of Mrs. Lin's accident, Master Lin and his friend were still playing chess in the room and did not sleep. The wine shop only has the front door, there is no back door, and the young man and the shopkeeper take turns to be on duty at night, and neither of them saw Master Lin leave. ”

"Master Lin's chain of alibi evidence is also perfect."

"Yes, Mrs. Lin is the same, because she is unwell, she has not been out of her yard since the day. We went to ask the doctor who treated Mrs. Lin, and confirmed that Mrs. Lin was suffering from an old disease, and that she had beaten a maid in the house because of the decoction of medicine that day. That night, Mrs. Lin fell asleep after drinking the medicine, and was woken up by Lin Zhiyang after Mrs. Lin's accident. ”

"Maid? What is the name of the maid who was beaten by Mrs. Lin? ”

"It seems to be called what Qing, oh, by the way, it's called Qiaoqing, she also has a sister named Qiaohong, who is also the maid of the Lin family, and the maid next to the deceased Mrs. Lin. Since the lady had an accident with the child, this maid named Qiaohong has disappeared, and I heard from the descendants of the Lin family that she was arranged by Mrs. Lin to marry. ”

"The deceased Mrs. Lin, are you talking about that Miss Zeng?"

"Not bad!" Gao Zhan nodded: "This Qiaohong and Qiaoqing were originally the maids of the Zeng family, and they married into the Lin family with Miss Zeng. said that it was married, but in fact, it was similar to getting married, because the courtyard where the Lin family lives now, including the shop under Lin Zhiyang's name, came from the Zeng family, which can be regarded as Miss Zeng's dowry. Many of the Lin family's descendants are also from the Zeng family, and this is not a secret in Huaxi Town. ”

"Since it's a personal maid, why did Miss Zeng and the child have an accident, but this maid has nothing to do. The so-called close-knit, isn't it supposed to be served in front of you? ”

"I said I was going out that day." Gao Zhan touched his chin: "Actually, it's not just her, but the other people of the Lin family are fine, in addition to Miss Zeng and her three children, there is also an old grandmother." The old mother is not a Zeng family, she is a nurse invited from outside when the little boy was born, because she has a good relationship with the little boy, so she stayed in the Lin family as an errand. When Miss Zeng had an accident, the grandmother was with her, and she also protected the little boy under her. It was precisely because this maid named Qiaohong happened to leave and happened to be absent that there were rumors outside that Miss Zeng was murdered by the Lin family, and Qiaohong was the accomplice who helped Lin Zhiyang kill his wife and son. ”

"Has the government ever tried it?"

"After the trial, Qiaohong said that Miss Zeng asked her to go out to buy things, and she bought what Lin Zhiyang likes to eat. Master Xin specially asked people to check, and the store owner also confirmed Qiaohong's words, saying that she often went to the store to buy things, and she often bought those things. Lin Zhiyang also confirmed that what Qiaohong bought was indeed what he loved to eat in the past. It was precisely because of those rumors that after the preliminary trial of the case, the Lin family sent Qiaohong out of the door, and it is unknown who she married and where she married. After Qiao Hong's death, Mrs. Lin arranged Qiao Qing to her side. ”

"This Mrs. Lin shouldn't have deliberately beaten Qiao Qing, right?"

"It's not! According to the people of the Lin family, this Mrs. Lin's temper is not very good, and it is common to beat and scold her subordinates. Not only Qiaoqing, but everyone who served by her side had the experience of being beaten and scolded by her. ”

"I said, when I saw her at the yamen just now, I thought she wasn't a good person to get along with, and the corners of her eyebrows and eyes were all mean." Bai Li wrapped the gnawed pear pits in a handkerchief. "Such a mean mother-in-law, I don't know if I have ever embarrassed Mrs. Lin."

"There shouldn't be, if there is, the descendants of this Lin Mansion should say it." Gao Zhan shook his head: "Although Mrs. Lin has not embarrassed the current Young Mrs. Lin, she has been embarrassed by Miss Zeng in the past. ”

"She still dares to embarrass Miss Zeng, she doesn't know that everything her son has depends on the Zeng family?"

"Maybe in Mrs. Lin's heart, since this Miss Zeng is married to Lin Zhiyang, then everything in the Zeng family should be deserved, and the name should belong to the Lin family." Gao Zhan sighed: "I've seen this Miss Zeng, and she is good-tempered at first glance, but her marriage is not good, and she married Lin Zhiyang." ”
