Zheng Haizhu said: "Anyone who forgets his righteousness when he sees profit, he can't escape the words Diao and lazy, whether this sister of your family goes to the exam or prints books, what she puts her heart and soul into is the opposite of being slippery and lazy." Neither greed, nor is it true that he is blamed, or he kills out of hatred......"

Zhang Daizheng nodded frequently, and when he heard the last sentence, his face changed suddenly: "Miss Zheng, what's the matter, you still think Sister He is lying to us?" ”

"Half to half," Zheng Haizhu said frankly, "Childe, I'm just a mortal with the naked eye, and I just listened to a few words in a hurry, how can I determine whether a person is innocent or guilty?" I relayed Sister He's words to Childe word for word, but how do I know that she is not a fake? Killing intent is not only a way to make money, perhaps, maybe Sister He admired Master Yang but was hindered by the secular gap and could not be committed, so she ruined him. ”

Zhang Dai only felt that these words were very harsh, and his gaze staring at Zheng Haizhu was obviously annoyed.

But he pondered for a moment, and had to admit that what Miss Zheng said was not impossible.

People are close and close, and they regard the person in the prison as the eldest sister, so they naturally want to protect them, but the Zheng girl in front of her will not be bound by this kind of affection.

On the contrary, this woman is suspicious of her love in trouble, but she is safe.

Zheng Haizhu met Zhang Dai's gradually warming gaze, but still said calmly: "Since I have read this matter in detail, I don't want to just pick up what my son likes to hear." Whether Sister He was wronged or not, how can she be trusted. The carpenter Ye, the servant of the Yang family, the person who found the body of Master Yang, and even Sister He's neighbors, Master Yang's business in Songjiang, as well as the inquest of the work, the mud floor from the nunnery to the river pond, all kinds of people, etc., all kinds of traces have to be studied one by one. It's a pity that just now I was about to ask Sister He's whereabouts in the past two days, and the cell boss hurriedly drove me out. ”

Zhang Dai heard that Zheng Haizhu had begun to deduce the case in such detail, and he figured out more and more reason.

Suspicion is the buyer, and suspicion is the real heart.

Zhang Dai showed an apologetic look and arched his hand: "Fang Cai was a little impatient and confessed to the girl." ”

Zheng Haizhu didn't want to worry about such a trivial matter at all, and waved his hand and said: "If you care, you will be chaotic, and it is normal for people to care." ”

began to talk about the key points again: "Zhang Gongzi, tomorrow, I will lead you to meet Huang Zunsu and Huang Guanren, how about it?" If you can ask a few words from Huang Guanren, at least, it will be much cheaper for you to go to the Shanghai County Government to inquire about the situation. However, I have to talk to my old lady and the eldest lady in this matter. ”

Zheng Haizhu was busy with Zhang Dai at the beginning, and he did have the intention of befriending this celebrity. But just now I had a conversation with the He sister in prison, and the woman's insistence on free marriage and her trustworthiness to her employer touched her a little. She herself also wanted to find out the truth of the case, so she simply took the initiative to ask for help.

Zhang Daizheng had this intention and hurriedly thanked him.

looked at the already dark sky again, and said to Zheng Haizhu: "The night is thick, I should have sent Miss Zheng back to Han's mansion, just to confess to Master Han, delaying you for so many hours." ”

Zhang Dai's servants hired two sedan chairs and carried them to the Han Mansion.

The second master, Han Zhongwen, is half a businessman and half a literati, and he is no stranger to the famous Zhang family in Shanyin.

Knowing the reason, Master Han was reasonable, and immediately agreed to allow Zheng Haizhu to run errands for Zhang Gongzi, and did not forget to praise a few words of Zhang Gongzi's kindness and old feelings.

Because Zhang Dai was considered a junior, the second master invited the second grandmother Qian to come out of the inner house and beckoned Zhang Dai to leave after dinner in the front hall.

When the owners began to socialize, Zheng Haizhu breathed a sigh of relief, squatted and retired, returned to Han Ximeng's courtyard, and told Miss Han what she had experienced today.

Han Ximeng, like many literate ladies in Jiangnan today, is a loyal fan of "The Peony Pavilion", and has a good impression of Sister He, who wants to review the book. Because she read "The Case of Bao Gong" written by Songjiang local "An Yushi", Miss Han's reasoning about breaking out of prison ignited for a while.

She frowned and said, "Ah Zhu, even if that Sister He is like you suspect, she killed people out of love, but the method she chose is not logical. ”

Zheng Haizhu put down the teacup in his hand: "Please Miss discuss it in detail." ”

Han Ximeng said: "She is a woman, she stabs a man with a knife, not to mention the disparity in strength, even if she steals a clever child and hits the man's heart and lungs, the man will not be killed immediately, and he will definitely shout loudly, isn't it a leak?" Why didn't she poison her? Moreover, if the prayer belt of the nunnery is tied to the wrist, does it not tell the world that people killed themselves? ”

"Miss, if you get Master Yang drunk first and then tie him up, gag his mouth, and add a white blade to make Master Yang's blood flow like a river to vent his grievances, it is also possible. Perhaps she had fallen into arrogance and forgotten about it. ”

"Ah, you," Han Ximeng said angrily, "Ah Zhu, why do you always think of people as crazy and evil. ”

Zheng Haizhu said lightly: "Miss, from ancient times to the present, the wicked and the crazy are endless, and it is not that I want to have it, and I don't want to have it. You and I were robbed a few months ago, there must be wicked people behind us, hasn't Lord Huang been keeping an eye on us to investigate? Moreover, how complex people are, let alone women's hearts, good can suppress evil, perhaps just because there is no reason to inspire evil. ”

Han Ximeng stared at a pair of good-looking apricot eyes and sighed, "Hey, you're right." ”

Zheng Haizhu said sincerely: "But what Miss said is not completely unreasonable. Today's situation is too much like the performance of the troupe, and the blood on the ground in the meditation hall is like a gong sound at the beginning, inviting people to come to the play. The carpenter is not without suspicion, and the blood is not known to be true or false. ”

"I know this," Han Ximeng said with certainty, "My father was also like Master Huang back then, and he had to be awarded the position of governor of the state government. He told me that the old servants carried rice vinegar with a lot of salt, and if there was a murder report and there was no body on the spot, they would first pour a bottle of salt and vinegar sauce on the bloodstains. Only human blood will be weakened, and chicken blood, cow blood, and pig blood will still be thick. ”

"Oh? Doesn't ape blood fade either? ”

"The monkey's blood will only be darker, like a lychee shell. Whether it's human blood or not, you can't hide it, but if it's bought, it's hard to say. Hey, Azhu, I really want to go to the trial with you. ”

Zheng Haizhu said with a smile: "Then you will go with me, the public trial of the case is to educate the people to abide by the rules, and the peddlers and pawns can listen to it, why can't everyone listen to it?" ”

Han Ximeng sighed: "Forget it, the second aunt is so good to me, and the head of the house is tired enough, I can't trouble her anymore." ”

Zheng Haizhu is clear.

The third grandmother Yang has often reprimanded her in front of other maids and mothers-in-law recently, and went to the second grandmother to make trouble, saying that the aunt and nephew surnamed Zheng are ambitious, and the eldest lady is becoming less and less beautiful.

She then comforted Han Ximeng and said: "Don't talk about the short and long with the resentful woman, it's right for the young lady to be considerate of the second grandmother." I only have that sentence, before we go to the Gu Mansion, we still have to watch out for Miss Ah Ying. ”
