Hua Rujin looked thoughtfully at the kneeling old housekeeper, and said in a deep voice: "You just said that after the second son left, the third son appeared in the mansion again, and frightened Dou Yuanwai?" ”

"Indeed, many people in the house have seen it."

The old housekeeper replied while wiping away tears: "The old slave does not dare to deceive the young lady, you also know that the old man has always been kind and kind, the old man was very sorry for the young lady to violate the will of the young lady to leave the young lady in the house, if it wasn't for the young lady who made the house uneasy this time, he would not be ruthless." ”

"What a kind face, you are so hard to force each other, aren't you afraid that in the future, I will become a ghost and ask for your life?"

Hua Rujinfeng's eyes sank slightly, and she swept towards the kneeling Dou Mansion's subordinates: "I think it must be you who killed your own son-in-law and made it difficult for him to redress his grievances, so that you became a powerful ghost to scare you, right?" ”

Hearing this, the righteousness on the faces of the slaves suddenly disappeared, and they all lowered their heads weakly, not daring to talk again, for fear that she would remember her face.

The house is not yet clean, if this young lady turns into a ghost again, and then settle the old accounts on her head.

"The third young lady should not speculate on her own."

Gu Langxi calmly faced Hua Rujin, and sneered: "Martyrdom for the husband is a tradition that has existed since the beginning of my dynasty, and marrying from the father and following the husband at home is a number of virtues and etiquette that have been inherited for thousands of years. ”

"Forgive me for taking the liberty of asking Gu Gongzi Lingtang Lingzun for his longevity?"

Hua Rujin frowned slightly, and asked unhurriedly.

Gu Langxi hesitated slightly: "My father has been dead for many years, and only my mother is widowed, and now she is close to her age. ”

"Since Gu Gongzi is so knowledgeable and reasonable, and he is even more familiar with my court's etiquette method, to say something disrespectful, Gu Gongzi does not persuade Lingtang to go to Lingzun to make a good name for his family, why do you want to embarrass me as a weak woman who has just passed the age of Xuan?"

"You ......"

Gu Langxi was so angry that he secretly squeezed his fists, and realized that he had let this woman fall into the trap.

Hua Rujin twisted her eyebrows and sighed: "I and the third son of the Dou family have neither husband and wife, but even the status of husband and wife was forcibly deducted, let's just say that I am honest and honest, I dare not fight against the government, I can only accept it, but the Dou family treats the government's appointed festival woman like this, let me ask Gu Gongzi, if it were you, would you be unjustly killed?" Is it not worthy of life that an honest man who keeps his duty? ”

Hu Nanxi and Dou Yuancheng listened to it on the side, and their faces were hot.

It's almost named.

Cai Baiwei was enthusiastically excited by her daughter's words, and she didn't care about Hua Junnian's obstruction and her mother-in-law's eyes, so she went straight forward and knelt down in front of the officials, and pleaded with all her might:

"Please also ask the adults to be the masters of my little daughter, when the third son of the Dou family died of illness for no reason, the Dou family said that the little girl killed the third son, leaving the little girl to be the husband and the slave family also recognized, but the temperament of the second man of his family has also seen it today, not that the little girl is unfaithful."

"This ......"

Lu Xiuyuan was embarrassed.

Three years ago, when he first came to Jiangling City, he heard about the Dou family, and it was indeed strange that a good and decent person suddenly died violently.

But the results of the autopsy were not unusual, there were no traces of murder or evidence of poisoning, and there were really no clues to be found, so they could only conclude that they died of violent illness.

Now that the Shu family has come out to intervene in this matter, the Dou family Erlang is indeed a loss of morality, and the new magistrate Ye Chengwei is a bad perfunctory master, he is not good at favoring anyone, his eyes wandered on Shu Jinxuan and Gu Langxi, and said cautiously:

"The second son of the Dou family is really guilty this time, there is such an unbearable villain in the family, and he really wronged Miss Hua, I don't think it is as good as this, since the Dou family is just and strict, the second son of the Dou family I will take it back to the county government for official business, as for Miss Hua, now that the family style is correct, you can rest assured to continue to go back to the Dou family to observe the festival for her husband."

Without waiting for everyone's reaction, Hu Nanxi nodded and took over: "That's fine." ”

She is a person who only has silver in her eyes, and her granddaughter's life and death have long been insignificant.

Now such a result not only punishes Dou Yuancheng, but also retains the reputation of the Hua family, which is simply killing two birds with one stone.

As soon as her words fell, Gu Langxi looked at her fiercely, and almost rejected word by word: "No-can-to." ”

Then he took a few pages of rolled paper from the hands of others, and respectfully handed them to Lu Xiuyuan's hand to signal:

"Here is the marriage contract of the two families and the suicide note of the third son of the Dou family and a few handwriting before his death, and please look at the history of the people, now it is not that Dou is unwilling to give in, but it is related to the last wishes of the deceased, if the person is not buried, it is difficult to make the deceased rest in peace."

When the words fell, he deliberately looked at him like a brocade: "Dou Yuanwai is not a person who is messing around, the second son is disrespectful to the young lady, and he has selflessly brought people to justice, the young lady should follow the law and obey the last orders of her deceased husband." ”

"How to prove that this suicide note was written by the third son of the Dou family?"

Looking at Lu Xiuyuan's meticulous inspection of a few handwritings, Hua Rujin shook his head disdainfully: "This kind of fake and real drama Gu Gongzi has been walking in the yamen for many years, isn't it?" ”

As soon as this remark came out, it immediately attracted questions from the lawyers:

"Yes, what Miss Hua said is very reasonable, if it is really the last life of the third prince, why didn't Dou Yuanwai choose to make it public three years ago, so that it warms the hearts of the Hua family and can also gain some good reputation, but he just took it out at this juncture, isn't it an ulterior motive?"

"I don't lack this person in Jiangling City, I heard that Gu Gongzi is very good at copying other people's fonts, isn't it this suicide note that Gu Gongzi deliberately compiled for others in order to please Dou Yuanwai?"

"It's nonsense."

Listening to the doubts around him, Gu Langxi was angry, and hurriedly explained: "The suicide note was naturally written by the third prince himself, and Dou Yuanwai did not choose to make it public back then, just to not let the young lady and the Hua family worry." ”

"That makes even less sense."

Hua Rujin saw that his expression began to panic, and she became more determined in her thoughts:

There must be something strange behind this.

"When I got married to the third son, he didn't go to the house to worship and get married, but secretly hid to write a suicide note, what is the reason, let me ask you, when did you think of leaving a suicide note?"

As soon as the words fell, someone rushed to answer: "Naturally, when I learned that my life was short." ”

"But the third son of the Dou family was only sixteen or seventeen years old when he married me, less than the age of the weak crown, and he was at the age of high spirits, why did he think about writing a suicide note?"

The flowers were like brocade, and his eyes were like frost, and he looked at Gu Langxi quietly: "Unless he already knew that his life was short." ”

In the face of everyone's doubts, Gu Langxi's expression moved slightly, but he returned to normal in an instant, maintaining an unchaotic momentum.

And Lu Xiuyuan had already sensed some suspicions from Hua Rujin's words that he hadn't had before, and thought about slowly handing the suicide note and a few handwritings to her.

Hua Rujin took the suicide note and looked at it carefully, and explained while comparing the other handwriting: "The handwriting on the paper is indeed some years, and there is no trace of tampering, not like it has been added recently." ”

After watching it a few times, she immediately found something boring: "But there is one point, the third prince died of a sudden violent illness, this suicide note is vigorous and powerful, full of majestic momentum, where it seems to be written by a dying person, if Gu Gongzi has to agree that this suicide note is written by my deceased husband, then there is only one possibility, that is, he already knew that he would die soon, so it is a cheating marriage." ”

Although it is still only suspicion, the meticulous logic of inference has once again caused a sensation among the crowd:

"Cheating on marriage, that's a big crime."

"Miss Huajia, even if you are clever and eloquent, your family did receive the silver from Dou Yuan at the beginning."

Gu Langxi pretended to be calm and took back the marriage book from Lu Xiuyuan's hand and held it in his hand: "There are two marriage contracts as evidence. ”

seems to be calm, but his heart is gradually disordered.

has been in the litigator industry for many years, but it is the first time I have seen such a person who can speak well, and she is still a little-known woman.

Fortunately, she is only suspicious, and she can't come up with any real evidence, which is not enough to confront her in court.
