The two officials rushed up, and they couldn't help but pick up the jailer named Liu San and go to the door.

Not long after, there was a sound of wooden sticks hitting people in the courtyard, accompanied by Liu San's heart-rending screams.

Diao Chan and Zhu'er, who were kneeling at the foot of the steps, were already drenched in sweat, and they didn't even dare to come out.

I don't know how long it took, but there was no sound outside.

A servant hurried up.

"Lord Qiyu, Liu San's fight is not enough, and he has now died under the rod."

Shen Pu's face remained unchanged, but he said lightly: "Useless things, this is dead, pull it down and bury it." ”

Zhu'er's legs, which had been kneeling on the ground, began to tremble violently.

Shen Pu still didn't think that this play was enough, so he looked back at Hu Cheng beside him, and said, "Tomorrow, when you go to Liu San's house, you will say that this guy has failed to flirt with a female criminal, and he will be accused of committing suicide in fear of crime, and he will ask his family to pay 300 yuan as a fine and burial. ”

Hu Cheng didn't know that this was just a bureau set up by Bao Zheng and Shen Pu, and he was still secretly happy, thinking that once this jailer died, the person who poisoned Diao Chan would never be able to find out.

It's just a little strange that Shen Pu has suddenly become so cold and sophisticated.

"The subordinate obeys." Hu Cheng replied.

Shen Pu turned to look at Zhu'er.

At this time, Zhu'er had already shrunk into a ball with fright.

Shen Pu suddenly slapped the table hard.

"Daring Zhu'er, this official has now found out that you and others framed Mrs. Tang for stealing the jade bracelet, if you don't recruit it from the truth, this official wants you to go on the road with that Liu San."

Shen Pu's voice stopped, and Zhu'er completely collapsed.

When he raised his head, he saw Hu Cheng staring at him.

"Big, my lord, the slave and maid have been wronged, and the jade bracelet was indeed obtained from Mrs. Tang." Zhu'er couldn't even say a complete sentence, but she still gritted her teeth and shouted that she was wronged.

"Sister, you admitted in prison that you were instigated." Diao Chan was anxious and hurriedly shouted, "Now, when the adults ask, why don't you admit it?" ”

"Diao Chan, don't interject." Hu Cheng suddenly shouted.

Diao Chan shook and hurriedly lowered his head.

Shen Pu was not in a hurry, softened his tone, and continued to ask, "Zhu'er, do you recognize that Tang Lu Bu?" ”

Zhu'er nodded.

"I've met once."

"Do you know how he got into the Anle Palace?"

Zhu'er thought for a while and replied: "It is said that the old lady went to Qinglian Nunnery to offer incense, and was recommended by Master Cihui, and the old lady brought it into the house. ”

"In that case, why was he chosen to escort the little palace master to Qingliu County?" Shen Pu asked.

"This, the slave doesn't know, I'm afraid it's because of this person's bravery." Zhu'er saw that Shen Pu suddenly changed the topic, and subconsciously let out a sigh.

"How long has your little palace master been gone?"

"The slave and maid haven't counted, but there must be eight or nine days."

"A nursing home that has just entered the Anle Palace Mansion for less than ten days, and the old palace master trusts him so much to escort the little palace master, Zhu'er, what do you think is the reason for this?" Shen Pu's questioning seemed to have departed from the original meaning of what he wanted to figure out.

Hu Cheng also felt a little outrageous, so he leaned into Shen Pu's ear and reminded him in a low voice.

"I don't need you to teach the officer." Shen Pu looked very unhappy.

Zhu'er didn't understand the intentions of this Futai lord, so she had to answer truthfully.

"My lord, this is a matter between the old palace master and the Tang strong man, and the slave and maid really don't dare to speculate."

"So, you should always know about the fact that this jade bracelet has been kept in the hands of the old palace master, right?"

"The slave knows, but she hasn't seen it with her own eyes."

"Okay." Shen Pu suddenly laughed proudly, "Zhu'er, it's good for you to answer like this." The day before yesterday, the old palace master personally told the official that the jade bracelet was lost a month ago, and just now, as you said, it has been less than a month since Tang Lubu and his wife came to Anle Palace. Could it be that they had stolen the bracelet before they came to the house? ”

Zhu'er's face changed dramatically in an instant.

Shen Pu no longer gave her a chance to speak.

"Obviously, you are a girl who specializes in serving the old palace master, and you have already coveted this bracelet, if you hadn't accidentally dropped this treasure the day before yesterday, you wouldn't have thought of planting it for Mrs. Tang. Now, the case is clear, come on, pull it down first, and be punished with the same cane as Liu San, and be merciless. ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhu'er was so frightened that she almost fainted.

Thinking that the jailer Liu Sansheng had a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and he was still punished but only a life, how could his delicate body withstand this cane punishment?

Hu Cheng hurriedly stopped.

"My lord, if you don't have a true confession, if you start the punishment like this, I'm afraid you won't be able to explain it to the old palace master."

Shen Pu disagreed.

"Hu Fucheng is too worried, a little girl in the mansion is not as good as a dog in the eyes of the old palace master, why do you and I have anything to explain? It is enough to say that she witnessed the torture of other prisoners in prison and died of fright. By the way, don't forget to go to her house early tomorrow morning and ask for 300 yuan. ”

Such words in Zhu'er's ears are tantamount to having sentenced himself to death.

Hu Cheng wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Shen Pu: "Hu Fucheng doesn't need to say much, this official has his own arrangements." Pull it down and hit it hard. ”

With a promise, the two fierce officials dragged the bamboo and were about to walk outside.

Bamboo completely collapsed.

It seems that this Hu Cheng can't protect himself, and at this time, even if the old palace master is here, I'm afraid there is nothing he can do.

"My lord, spare the lives of the slave and the maid, and the slave and the maid will report it according to the truth."

The two officials hesitated.

Shen Pu coughed lightly, looking a little impatient.

"Okay, pull it back for now, and hear what she has to say."

The servant threw the bamboo on the ground.

Hu Cheng glared at Zhu'er fiercely, and squeezed out a few words from between his teeth, "This is a public court, you slut must not talk nonsense because you want to save your life." ”

Shen Pu saw that the goal had been achieved, and suddenly his face sank, and he shouted to Hu Cheng, "Hu Fucheng, this official asks about the case, when do you want to be so talkative?" Don't retreat quickly. ”

"This ......" Hu Cheng saw that this Shen Pu was unusually tonight, and his heart was already bottomless, so he hurriedly laughed and said, "The lower official is just impulsive, and I hope Lord Shen is not strange." ”

"I don't want to blame you, it's just that there are no rules like this, it's really inappropriate." Shen Pu thought for a while, "In this way, you go down to rest first, and remember to go to Liu San's house early tomorrow morning, don't delay." ”

"The lower officer has written it down." Hu Cheng had no choice but to retreat.

Standing in the courtyard and thinking about it, Hu Cheng turned around and left.

A dark shadow flashed out of the corner of the courtyard and followed closely behind Hu Cheng.

In the backyard of the mansion, Lord Bao sat at the bottom of the gazebo, waiting for news.

The first to come back was the errand officer who followed Hu Cheng.

"Your Excellency's expectations are good, Hu Cheng did go to Anle Palace."

Master Bao sighed and didn't say anything, obviously very disappointed with Hu Cheng's behavior.

Not long after the errand officer left, Shen Pu, who was full of joy, also walked over.

"Master Bao really calculated, this bamboo has all confessed. The person behind the scenes is indeed Zhao Ji, and in order not to be discovered by the lower officials, he also threatened Zhu'er's family and forced Zhu'er and Diao Chan to drink poisonous soup together. If it weren't for the mouse, the two women would probably be gone. ”

Mr. Bao was not happy at all.

"According to Lord Shen's wishes, what are you going to do next?"

"It's all up to Master Bao." Shen Pu's precautions against Lord Bao completely disappeared and he gave up.
