This official was tall and strong, and his skin was dark, as if he had been pulled out of a charcoal fire, and everyone called him Dahei.

Liu Yunxiang followed Da Hei around several alleys, and finally came to the newly built mansion, which was particularly eye-catching compared to the old houses around it.

At this time, there was a bunch of people in front of the house, gossiping, so lively.

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way! ”

Dahei shouted, and the people hurriedly got out of the way.

Liu Yunxiang followed and walked inside, listening to the people on both sides whispering.

"This lady is dressed in gold and silver, and she is estimated to be the daughter-in-law of the official in the courtyard."

"Let's send the money."

"A jar of wine, I don't know how much water I put into it, and I want people to pay ten taels of silver."

"This Mrs. Chen has always been unreasonable, and no one in our neighborhood knows her."

Liu Yunxiang sighed, on the way here, she had already heard what Da Hei said.

The palace maid hanged herself, and there was nothing suspicious from her, and His Royal Highness meant to let her family bring the body back quickly, after all, it was too hot now, and it would taste good if it was put for a day.

They found the maid's home in Xicheng, along with her mother and brother, and they brought them the news of the maid's death, but to their great shock, her mother refused to take her daughter's body home. The reason is even more bizarre, saying that her son is about to get married, and it is too unfortunate to get a dead person back at this time.

It's easy to say, but I don't get it anyway.

This corpse can't be left all the time, for two days, the putrid smell has filled the entire criminal department, and anyone who enters the door has to cover their noses. They went to look for it again, and the palace maid's mother said that the government should dispose of the body, but according to the regulations, if there is a family member, the family needs to recognize the body and sign, so that the body can be disposed of by the government.

But when they were asked to identify the body and sign it, the mother and the brother refused to do so.

There is no way to do this, Yan Dui can only run in person, just when he meets this Chen family's mother-in-law preparing a bride price for her son, she didn't listen to how to persuade and explain, and drove them out, Yan Dui's temper came up, and she directly smashed a jar of wine for the bride price.

And then it was falsely accused.

Da Hei also said: A few of us can't make up these ten taels of silver, after all, the monthly money is only two taels a month, but His Royal Highness can't even take it out.

Liu Yunxiang coughed twice when she heard this, and she seemed to have really forgotten to give him pocket money.

When I entered the hospital, I heard a howling cry first.

"The official is amazing...... Too much deception...... Our poor families...... I finally married my daughter-in-law...... Scraped together to prepare this little bride price...... You are so majestic...... Smash my jar of wine...... Ten taels of silver...... I can't raise any more money to kill my old woman...... I can't marry a daughter-in-law for my son...... I can't stand the ancestors of the Chen family...... It's better to just hit the wall and die...... That's what you drove to death...... Ouch...... Bullying our orphans and widows...... Can't live...... I can't live ......"

A woman in a blue-gray coarse cloth skirt sat on the ground, crying and slapping the ground, and there was a tune.

Yan Du stood a few steps away, his hands on his shoulders, his face was already very dark and heavy, and the other officials also took several steps back, one by one unbearable and helpless.

Catching the most vicious criminals, they have probably never been so worried.

Liu Yunxiang couldn't help but smile and walked over, and Yan Dui's eyes lit up when she saw her.

"Do you want silver or?"

Yan Du turned her to face the woman, "Help me reason with her." ”

Liu Yunxiang couldn't hold back his laughter, and when he looked back, he saw Yan Dui with a headache.

"You can't be reasonable with such people."

Yan Du twilight picked at the woman with her chin, "I've hit the wall three times." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the woman shout, "You officials bully the people...... The big guys are watching...... I'll die to show you......"

As she spoke, the woman got up and slammed into the east wall. Fortunately, the officials had experience and were busy blocking the front, and the woman bumped into one of the officials.

The official clutched his stomach and looked pained.

"Auntie, please, don't bump into it, we've hit you with a few stomachs."

The mother-in-law glared at the official, sat back and continued to cry, still in the same tone.

Liu Yunxiang sighed, "You have met a master." ”

She turned to look at the woman, her eyes narrowed, she thought that that day in front of the gate of Ziyun Nunnery, that is, the day the palace maid died, she saw this woman among the onlookers of pilgrims.

She hit her, scolded her in turn, and then asked what was going on inside, and when she found out, she ran away in a panic.

At the time, she was puzzled, but now she understands it at once.

Liu Yunxiang squatted down, took out a silver ingot from his purse, and shook it in front of the mother-in-law. When the woman saw the silver, she stopped crying and reached out to take it, but Liu Yunxiang avoided it.

The mother-in-law looked at her and looked up and down a few times, "Are you?" ”

"Princess Zhenbei."

"The king and the princess?" The woman was so shocked that she stumbled when she spoke.

Liu Yunxiang raised his eyebrows, "Don't you know, he is the king of Zhenbei?" ”

Liu Yunxiang pointed to Yan Dui behind him, then turned his head to look at his mother-in-law, and saw that her face had changed in shock, and scared her again: "You have a big deal." ”

The mother-in-law's expression was tense, although she was shocked, but she quickly calmed down, "Heh, what's wrong with the princess and princess, I'm an ordinary ordinary person......"

"Right now, you're not an ordinary person, you're a murder suspect!"

"I kill someone? Kill whom? ”

"Chen Xuan, that is, your daughter."

"How can you spew blood......"

"Before Chen Xuan died, did you meet?"

"No, no!"

"The nuns of Ziyun Nunnery can testify."

The mother-in-law panicked this time, "I'm ...... I see my daughter...... What's wrong with that? ”

"There's nothing wrong with that, but why did you deny it just now?"

The mother-in-law's eyes dodged, and she didn't know what to say to defend herself for a while.

"And why don't you go to the government to identify the body?"

"My son is going to get married, I'm afraid I'll touch the mold." The mother-in-law lowered her head and said.

"Hmph, your daughter is dead, you are not sad, you don't take her body for burial, but you are in a hurry to get married to your son.

The mother-in-law snorted: "What's the use of a daughter, I still have to rely on my son to support my old age when I'm old." ”

Liu Yunxiang took a look at this courtyard, and when she entered the door just now, she also heard the neighbors say that the Chen family used to be very poor, and this house was built after her daughter entered the palace.

"Your daughter is in the palace, and the monthly money is given to you, so you built this house, am I not wrong?"

The mother-in-law pursed her lips and said, "I raised her and she gave me money, what's wrong?" ”

"But the house is built, and the son needs money to get married, so you go to your daughter again and ask her to prepare more money. She told you that she was just a little palace maid, and she had already given you that little money every month, so how could she still have money. You scolded her, scolded her for having no conscience, scolded her for being a money-loser, and shouldn't have given birth to her and raised her in the first place, right? ”

The mother-in-law looked at Liu Yunxiang in shock, "You ......"

How did she know that there was clearly a mother and daughter in the house at that time, and it wasn't her daughter who told her?

Liu Yunxiang stared at her mother-in-law and said word by word: "She gave you a hundred taels." ”
