Liu Yunxiang thought that Gao Wenchang knew a lot of things, but how to make the courtiers have confidence in their mother and son was a difficult problem.

"What if I can trip Xue Hesong?" Liu Yunxiang said.

When Gao Wenchang heard this, he was shocked, but it was more funny, "Queen Mother, it's not that the minister doesn't trust you, but that this Xue Hesong is Lu Changan's right-hand man, and many things that are inconvenient for him to come forward are handled by Xue Hesong on his behalf, how can he let you remove one of his arms?" ”

"What if I do trip?" Liu Yunxiang asked again.

Gao Wenchang was silent for a moment and said, "The minister is the first to go to court!" ”

"Okay, that's a deal."

After Xue Hesong took advantage of Lu Chang'an's power to ascend to the throne, he did too many bad things, and it was difficult to write about it. She asked Gao Wenchang a lot, but her eyes finally fell on a family of four surnamed Li.

In Gao Wenchang's words, although this case involved two lives, it was insignificant compared to other big mistakes made by Xue Hesong. Even if the truth is clarified, he can exculpate.

But Liu Yunxiang still plans to start from here, "It is precisely because it is inconspicuous that it will not attract Xue Hesong's attention, so that he can give him a heavy blow at the right time." ”

Gao Wenchang asked Liu Yunxiang to wait, he went to the yamen, and about half an hour later, brought the file of the case.

"You see, the first time the Li family reported the case was to sue Xue Meng, the youngest son of the Xue family, who led the three evil slaves to kill the Li family's son Li Wenxiu."

Xue Meng?

Isn't it the kid who had a conflict with Yan'er in Guozixue!

"When the case was closed, it was determined that the little son of the Li family accidentally hit the wall and died, and the case file also recorded that the child had many injuries on his body, which were beaten by Xue Meng with a house slave, but they were not fatal injuries, so the Xue family was sentenced to compensate the Li family with ten taels of silver."

"That's the end of the case?"

Liu Yunxiang frowned, there is obviously a hidden secret!

"The Li family reported the case for the second time, and it was the Xue family who sued, this time it was Xue Hesong, the second master of the Xue family."

"And a second time?"

Gao Wenchang nodded, and then sighed, "Father Li is dissatisfied with his son's tragic death, and he does not accept the Xue family's money, so he comes to the door to seek justice. The Xue family kicked him out, and he disappeared on the way home. ”

"Missing?" Liu Yunxiang raised his eyebrows.

"It's missing, so the Li family first reported the disappearance, and after searching for a few days to no avail, they sued the Xue family for murder. After the investigation, the government determined that the Xue family was not guilty, but the Xue family was willing to give an extra ten taels of silver to comfort the family. ”

Liu Yunxiang snorted, "Two lives, twenty taels of silver, just like that!" ”

"Both cases went through Jingzhao Mansion and then to the Criminal Department, in accordance with laws and regulations, and there were no omissions. Earlier, the Queen Mother asked me about the crime committed by Xue Hesong, and I couldn't remember this case, because two days ago, I bumped into a madwoman on the street, she robbed other people's children, and their father wanted to beat her. ”

"Li Wenxiu's mother is crazy?"

"Hey, her son died tragically, her husband disappeared, she couldn't stand this blow and went crazy."

Coming out of Yunxiang Restaurant, Liu Yunxiang took Zijin and Feng Zheng, the master and servant to Nancheng according to the address given by Gao Wenchang, found a place called Qingshi Hutong, and parked the car at the mouth of the alley.

Feng Zheng helped Liu Yunxiang get out of the carriage, "Girl, didn't Lord Gao say that there is only a gray-haired old woman left in the Li family and a woman with an unclear brain, do they dare to sue the Xue family?" ”

Liu Yunxiang shook his head, "Let's take a look at the situation first." ”

This alley is very deep, Liu Yunxiang originally wanted Feng Zheng to inquire where the Li family was, but there was no one around, so they had to go inside first. After walking for a while, I saw an old woman with gray hair carrying a burden and walking this way.

The old woman was strong, her legs and feet were nimble, and she walked with the wind.

Feng Zheng hurriedly stepped forward to stop, "Old man, let's inquire with you about a family......"

Before Feng Zheng finished speaking, the old woman bumped into him and continued to walk forward, "No time." ”

Not wanting this old woman to have a lot of strength, Feng Zheng was unguarded and took a step back before standing firm. He touched his nose and hurriedly chased after him.

"Auntie, don't delay your time, I'll ask if there is a family surnamed Li in this alley."

The old woman's steps were very fast, and she ignored Feng Zheng.

Feng Zheng looked left and right, and no one else could inquire, so he had to catch up and say, "Auntie, what is in your burden, it's so fragrant." ”

"Braised chicken." The old woman is humane.

"I'll buy one!"

Hearing this, the old woman stopped, "You want one?" ”

"Yes." Feng Zheng nodded hurriedly.

The old woman had a face on her face, and when she heard this, she immediately smiled, "Young man, let me tell you, this chicken was raised by the eldest lady herself, and the marinade was prepared by herself, and it was stewed in an iron pot for two hours, and it was stuffy all night, and it was very delicious." Go eat it, keep your mouth full of oil, and you want to eat it again. ”

As she spoke, the old woman lifted the white cloth from the bamboo basket and picked out the largest and fattest one from it.

"Auntie, let me ask you, is there a family surnamed Li in this alley, the man's name is Li Xiang, who disappeared more than a year ago?" Feng Zheng asked.

The old woman packed the chicken, shook her head at Feng Zheng and said, "There is no one surnamed Li in this alley." ”

"No?" Feng Zheng blinked, could it be that he made a mistake?

"There are several alleys in Nancheng with the same name, so let's go ahead and have a look."

"That's probably the wrong thing."

Feng Zheng took out the broken silver and gave it to the old woman, and then shook his head at Liu Yunxiang and them.

Liu Yunxiang also heard the conversation between the two, she watched the old woman come over with a burden, her legs and feet were nimble, and she was full of energy, and she smiled at her when she walked up.

Liu Yunxiang nodded at the old woman, "Slow down." ”

"You can't be slow, you have to sell it while it's hot, and the taste is good." The old woman smiled.

When the old woman walked away, Zijin whispered: "Before I bought her braised chicken, she ignored you, and asked to bump into you, and after buying her braised chicken, she smiled." ”

Liu Yunxiang smiled, "Who let us delay other people's business." ”

Feng Zheng walked over and handed the braised chicken to Zijin.

"It's still hot."

Zijin smiled, hurriedly took the braised chicken, knowing that Liu Yunxiang and Feng Zheng didn't eat it, she was not polite, and took a big bite first. I just took a bite and threw up again.

"It's salty!"

"Is it so salty?"

Seeing Zijin's face wrinkled, Feng Zheng tasted it, it was indeed too salty.

He was speechless and said, "That lady said that we want to eat again after eating, isn't she joking?" ”

Since it is said that there are several bluestone alleys in Nancheng, you have to rely on inquiry, but today the weather is not good, and not a single pedestrian can touch it on the street. When they went out of the distance, they met a young man who asked about Qingshi Hutong, and the young man pointed in the direction they came.

Feng Zheng said: "Let's go to other bluestone alleys." ”

The young man scratched his head, "There is only one bluestone alley in the south of the city. ”
