Chapter 25: Broken Jar and Broken
Lord Lu asked the case at the Bai family, and after asking for nearly ten days, he didn't even let go of the Bai family's cats and dogs, and he really found nothing.
Mrs. Lu looked at the fairness who had returned in vain, "There is no progress." He held a fan in his hand and beat it for him.
"Nope." Lord Lu snatched the fan in her hand and shook it vigorously.
"Be careful, don't break my good fan." Mrs. Lu watched him slow down and said, "I already knew that I couldn't find anything?" What are you angry about? ”
"The three rooms of the Bai family are far apart, and I really can't hear the movement inside." Lord Lu looked at her with a frown and said, "But I know that the three-room courtyard is not particularly big, why can't I hear it?" This one person can't hear it, and it can't be a group of people who can't hear it! They all slept so dead. ”
"Are they heavy incense?" Mrs. Lu said casually.
"It's all over the place." Lord Lu's eyes lit up when he heard this, "It's possible!" I went to check the pharmacy in the state capital, and the Bai family had bought medicinal herbs such as miscellaneous. ”
Mrs. Lu looked at the husband who was leaving in a hurry, "It is estimated that it will be difficult!" What you can think of, the Bai family can't think of. ”
Lord Lu did find out in the pharmacy that Master Bai had insomnia, and he bought the soothing incense.
"Again, it didn't work." Mrs. Lu looked at him with his head drooping and said.
"This soothing incense doesn't prove anything!" Lord Lu said weakly, "There are so many rooms here, this is not enough to calm the spirit!" ”
"It doesn't make sense again." Lord Lu scratched his head irritably.
Mrs. Lu couldn't help at all in this regard, "By the way, how is Ye Sanniang in prison?" ”
"I didn't hear the report from below." Lord Lu was stunned when he heard this, and then said.
Mrs. Lu looked directly at him and asked, "Can't she provide favorable evidence?" ”
"That prisoner was already stunned by Master Bai when she first passed the court, what else can she offer?" Lord Lu said angrily, and the resentment in his heart was very big.
Now not only is there no progress in this case, but the key people in the whole government are looking at themselves, waiting for themselves to make jokes!
He's not in a bad mood!
"When are you going to ascend?" Mrs. Lu also knows that there is a lot of pressure at home.
"Just these two days! I'll interrogate the prisoner again. Lord Lu thought about it and said that he didn't want to go to prison anymore, the smell was really unbearable, especially in this weather, it was stuffy, hot and damp, and he was sweating all over his body when he didn't move.
&*&
Turning the day, as soon as he went to the yamen, Lord Lu ordered the messenger to escort the prisoner Ye Sanniang to the second hall.
Ye Sanniang only wore handcuffs and anklets this time, missing the heavy wooden flail, but the iron chain was also very heavy.
The sound of banging and banging came to Lord Lu's ears from far and near, watching people come in, but they were not as decadent as they imagined, and their expressions were actually fine.
Lord Lu's dark eyes looked up and down at Ye Sanniang, who was standing in the center of the second hall.
She didn't see Master Bai's intentions, she shouldn't have been! This is all a clear threat, how can it be so quiet.
Ye Sanniang stood in the center of the hall, glanced at the second hall, and finally fell on the plaque above the prefect's head: See the light again.
These four words are what I look forward to in my heart, but I don't know if I can succeed!
"Prisoner Ye Sanniang, do you think of anything these days?" Lord Lu stared at her and said.
"Nope!" Ye Sanniang's bright amber eyes looked at him and said very frankly.
Lord Lu looked at her in surprise, no? I suspect that my ear was misheard, "Really?" ”
"No, I can't provide any valid evidence of my innocence." Ye Sanniang spread out her hands and looked at him and said frankly, "Even if there is, the evidence has been destroyed." ”
This broken jar and broken posture, Lord Lu has seen less.
"Are you resigned to your fate?" Lord Lu looked at her lightly and said.
It seems that God has mercy on him and has not allowed himself to encounter corrupt officials. Ye Sanniang said in her heart when she heard this.
Ye Sanniang's eyes flashed, and a gleam flashed at him, looking at him and saying, "It seems that the prefect has found something suspicious." ”
Lord Lu closed his eyes fiercely, and even a fool could hear this off-string sound.
"I've checked the Bai family, the courtyard of the Bai family's three rooms is delicate and small, and the sound of the bedroom stands to reason that people should be able to hear it." Lord Lu said bluntly, there is nothing to hide from this.
"But what?" Ye Sanniang looked at Lord Lu with a smile and said, her quiet eyes seemed to have a kind of clarity that understood everything.
"I also found the reason, Master Bai has a habit of soothing the nerves because of insomnia." As soon as Lord Lu's words fell, he saw that her eyes lit up instantly.
"Don't be in a hurry to rejoice just yet." Lord Lu poured down a basin of cold water again, "The amount of soothing incense is recorded in the pharmacy, and Master Bai strictly follows the doctor's instructions." It is impossible to order in so many rooms. He generously admits that he is not afraid of your doubts. ”
"That adult shouldn't know that the eldest young master of the Bai family can make perfumes to please women, and the soothing incense is easy for it." Ye Sanniang looked at him with a dejected face and said.
Lord Lu looked at her with a shocked face and said, "There is no proof of this death, and it is equivalent to saying it in vain." ”
"This Bai family will definitely not admit it, the prefect can go to the Piaoxiang Courtyard and ask those daughters who have a past with the eldest young master of the Bai family. It is not possible to get useful information. Ye Sanniang looked at him with deep and bright eyes and said.
The news of this incense was inadvertently learned from the mouth of the three young men of the Bai family, and asked Ye Sanniang to keep it a secret.
"This Bai Qingshan doesn't know? Why go to the pharmacy to buy it? Lord Lu looked at her in surprise and said.
"Dedicated to letting his son gain fame, if he knows that his son is such a plaything, what will happen to adults?" Ye Sanniang did not hide the mocking smile on her face.
"But that doesn't mean anything?" Lord Lu clasped his hands under the table, and his thumbs turned back and forth, "You also need to avoid a little bit of people in private!" ”
"That's telling." Ye Sanniang's eyelids drooped to cover the disgust in her eyes, and she took a deep breath and said bluntly, "On the night of the crime, it was the first time that the eldest young master of the Bai family broke into Ye Sanniang's bedroom, and he was bitten to death by Ye Sanniang, who resisted desperately. Unhurriedly, he said, "It should also be the first time to use soothing incense!" ”
Lord Lu somewhat understood, since the crime was Tongjian, it was unlikely that there would be only one crime.
If it wasn't Tong Jian, it was an attempt to rape and was killed by Ye Sanniang.
"Since the crime detained is Tongjian, there must be a personal relationship." Ye Sanniang looked at him with a calm face and said unhurriedly.
After Ye Sanniang was widowed, she closed the door and thanked the guests, and the servant woman followed during the day. has a little daughter with him at night, and he has never been alone with the Bai family, so why not have a personal relationship. Tong Jian is even more nonsense. Ye Sanniang bluntly disgusted.
