Chapter 524: Returning Zhou Lihuai's innocence

Everyone looked at the servant girl, and saw her kneeling on the ground, thin and small, and it was really impossible to imagine that she had poisoned one person and forced one to hang herself.

He'er lay on the ground for a long time, and the people in the hall were a little anxious.

"He'er, if it's not you, you can explain clearly, this county lord is here, and they won't let them wronged you!" Murong Lingyi frowned.

He'er let out a sigh, then raised her head, straightened her waist, and her expression changed from cowardice and panic to the current coldness and slaughter.

"It's me, it's me who poisoned Mrs. Wuchanghou, and as His Highness guessed, I drugged the county lord's wine in order to leave enough time to commit the crime. Coming out of Feifeng Palace, I bumped into Chen Xuan stealing something, so I pushed the boat down the river and forced her to help me replace the poison pills in Mrs. Zhou's medicine box. I didn't want to kill her, so I gave her a hundred taels of silver to shut up. But then His Royal Highness began to investigate the case, denied that Imperial Physician Zhou was the murderer, and began to look for Chen Xuan instead, and I knew that she had to die. I gave the county lord the idea to kill Aunt Zhou in Ziyun Nunnery, in order to get close to Chen Xuan, but I didn't expect to meet again, but she threatened me instead, and asked me for silver, I gave her another hundred taels, this time to buy her life. ”

He'er spoke calmly and calmly, and she was ruthless, not an ordinary little maid.

Yan Du squinted, "Why did you poison Mrs. Wuchang?" ”

"I'm for the lord of the county."

"You're for me?" Murong Lingyi's eyes widened, "I didn't let you kill her!" ”

"Mrs. Hou is embarrassed by the county lord everywhere, and she has to marry the son in the side room, take a concubine, as the servant girl of the county lord, I really can't see it, so I did this poison."

"You!" Murong Lingyi gritted her teeth, "You are confused!" ”

"Yes, the slave is confused, and the slave confesses." He Er was prostrate on the ground.

Wu Changhou, who was sitting next to him and had not spoken, sighed at this moment, "The family is unfortunate." ”

Saying that, he stood up and bowed to Yan Dusk, "Your Highness the Seventh, you have been running around for the cheap case these days. ”

After saying this, Marquis Wuchang walked out and walked in front of the eldest princess, he stopped, paused, and made another big salute.

"Master Hou, you ......"

"Eldest princess, when it is the old man, please ask you, please agree with Changfeng and the county lord to reconcile, and return our Xue family to a clean house."

The eldest princess frowned, and sighed again, "If the two of them agree, this palace will not stop it." ”

"County Lord, do you want the old man to beg you too?" Marquis Wuchang looked at Murong Lingyi.

Murong Lingyi's face turned red, and he stomped his feet and said, "This county lord does not agree to leave and leave!" ”

"You!"

"The main Hugh of the county!"

"Murong Lingyi, don't go too far!" Xue Changfeng shouted, "Your maidservant poisoned my mother for you, this is your fault, I don't stop you, I have already given you face in the eldest princess's mansion!" ”

"I'm the county lord, if you want to leave your husband, you can rest your husband, you have to endure it if you grit your teeth!" Murong Lingyi raised his chin and said.

"You ......"

"It's okay, after all, the big guy can't just laugh at my Hou Mansion." Marquis Wuchang glanced at the eldest princess, then flicked his sleeves and walked outside.

The eldest princess held her forehead, and when she saw that Murong Lingyi was still making trouble, she shouted at her, "It's not a shame, go back to the palace with this palace!" ”

The murderer has pleaded guilty, but Yan Duan did not announce the verdict in court, but only released Zhou Lihuai.

When Xue Changfeng left, he first glared at Yan Dui, and then thanked him.

Yan Du looked at his awkward appearance and said with a smile: "Master Xue, we must not get drunk another day." ”

Xue Changfeng snorted, "I'm afraid you'll sell me." ”

"It's not worth a lot of money."

"I'll drink with you again, I'll be a mallet!" After saying that, he also rushed away angrily.

At this time, the nun of Ziyun Nunnery took out a silver ticket from her bosom and handed it to Yan Dui, who opened it, and there was a denomination of one hundred taels on it.

"This is Chen Xuan's?"

The nun nodded, "Early this morning, an old woman who often begs at the mountain gate gave it to me, she said that it was given to her by the Chen Shizhu, but the denomination was too big, she didn't dare to spend it, and when she heard the Chen Shizhu hanging, she was even more frightened, and hesitated for two days to give me this silver ticket." ”

When Mrs. Chen heard this, she hurriedly shouted: "Give me the silver ticket quickly, Chen Xuan is my daughter, and hers is mine!" ”

Liu Yunxiang snorted coldly: "Don't you understand, Chen Xuan would rather give this silver ticket to someone she doesn't know than give it to you, because she is already disappointed in you." ”

She asked He'er for a hundred taels of life money, and she must have wanted to give it to her mother, but maybe she bumped into her brother who gambled, or maybe she saw her mother's indifference to her, which made her recognize the true faces of the two relatives.

Mrs. Chen was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to reflect, but scolded: "This little hoof, I raised her so big, and she became a white-eyed wolf." Didn't she just ask her for money a few times, she saw me as if she had met a wrongdoer, she really deserved her short life, and God would accept her. In short, this money must be given to me, otherwise I will make trouble in front of your official mansion! ”

Yan Du sneered coldly, "You still want to make trouble in front of the official mansion, can you get out of the official mansion?" ”

"What do you mean? I didn't break the law! ”

"Chen Xuan steals things in the palace and sells them, this is a big crime of killing her head, although she is dead, but you still force her to take the money when you know that she stole things in the palace and sell them to you, which is to instigate her to steal things in the palace, and you should be punished as an accomplice, although it is not a capital crime, but you will live in prison for the rest of your life!"

Hearing this, Mrs. Chen suddenly softened to the ground.

And when the official sent her to prison, she shouted unwillingly: "Ask the official to give the one hundred taels to my son, and you can't let the people in the gambling house cut off his hands!" ”

Liu Yunxiang frowned, how could there be such a mother in the world, it was really disgusting!

Zhou Lihuai was released on the spot, and when the official opened his handcuffs, he couldn't hold back and whimpered and cried.

"I thought...... I thought I wouldn't survive...... How many days and nights...... I looked at the little window...... Despair...... I thought I couldn't see the blue sky and white clouds anymore......"

Yan Du walked down the hall, walked to Zhou Lihuai's side, and glanced at him with disgust, "It's not a shame for a big man to cry like this." ”

"Old Seven!" Zhou Lihuai hugged Yan Dui's legs.

Yan Twilight hurriedly dodged, but didn't dodge, so she kicked him, "How long the have you not taken a shower, you stink to death!" ”

"Old Seven, in the future, you will be my reborn parents, your great kindness, I will remember you for a lifetime!"

"No, no."

"Old Seven, with your brother, I am blessed by Zhou Lihuai's three lives and three lifetimes!"

"You're still rubbing tears on me?"

"From now on, my person is yours, my heart is also yours, I will do whatever you ask me to do, I will ...... for the rest of my life"

"Shut up!"

Zhou Lihuai's wife, Pan Shi, ran in from outside the hall, and was wiping tears excitedly, but when she saw this scene, her tears were stagnant. After a while, he covered his face with his hands, probably embarrassed, and took two steps back.

Liu Yunxiang smiled dryly: "Their brothers have a really good relationship. ”

Pan also laughed twice, "My husband is not like this on weekdays. ”

"Really?"

"Uh, only drunk will cry."

"Heh, I've seen it."

"Huh?"

Zhou Lihuai was frightened every day in the prison, he couldn't eat well, he couldn't sleep well, and now he cried, used up all his remaining physical strength, and fainted.

Pan: "......"

Sending Zhou Lihuai to the carriage, Liu Yunxiang and Yan Du went home.

"When did you suspect Murong Lingyi's maidservant?" Liu Yunxiang asked.

"Mrs. Chen is making trouble outside the door of the eldest princess's mansion, and Murong Lingyi is not weak-hearted, so I am thinking, who else can she be."

"Indeed, we have been ignoring the little maid beside her."

"But ......"

"What?"

"This little maid was by Murong Lingyi's side after she followed Xue Changfeng to Weizhou, and the time was not long, so that Xue Changfeng didn't remember her. In such a short period of time, how loyal was she to Murong Lingyi, so much so that she poisoned Mrs. Wuchang for her? And if she was really for Murong Lingyi, didn't she think that once the matter was exposed, it would be the consequence of Xue Changfeng and Murong Lingyi breaking up? And this He'er, martial arts, courage, scheming, everything is powerful, is it really just a little maidservant? ”
