Chapter 079: Finding Evidence
"I know that Lord Zhang said this for my own good, but ...... You should know how much the third prince hates me, and the more I am trapped here now, the more dangerous I am for one day.
If the final result is a dead end, I finally gave myself a chance to change the outcome, even if I really die in the end, I will die without regrets. ”
Tao Yaoyao is not a person who likes to accept her fate, but now she really has no one else to rely on, from yesterday when she was locked up here to now, she has thought of countless ways, this is the next step, but it is the best way for her to save herself.
Otherwise, when the five-day deadline is killed by Lord Zhou or killed by the people of the third prince, she will be unwilling.
In addition, she also can't guess her intentions behind the scenes, after all, this method is indeed too dangerous, and the slightest carelessness will cost her life.
There is only one human life, and even the beggars on the street are unwilling to die, let alone ordinary people.
And she also wants to take advantage of this to make a living for herself.
"You don't believe this official?" Zhang Jing frowned, "Since this official came to the Criminal Department, he has cracked a total of 120 unjust, false and wrongful cases, which is the highest rate of solving cases among officials in the Criminal Department in the past ten years. ”
She naturally knew about Zhang Jing's rapid emergence after entering the Criminal Department, and she also understood that he was really good for him, but she still said that he owed the original owner, not her, and she didn't want to take advantage of this.
"Lord Zhang's ability is praised even by His Majesty, and I naturally believe it, but Lord Zhang, judging from the current situation, can you really find the murderer within five days?"
Zhang was silent, and Tao Yaoyao continued to say, "In the past few days, can you guarantee that the assassins outside will not be able to enter? ”
Zhang Jing suddenly looked up, and the woman in front of him had a pair of eyes that could see everything, which made him want to comfort him and didn't know where to start.
She was right, since she was imprisoned here, in just one night, there have been five or six waves of assassins from the Criminal Department, if it weren't for the Chu family and the king of Dingbei who sent people to protect her, I'm afraid that she has ...... now
But even so, he was still reluctant to let her take the risk.
"What if you lose your bet?" Zhang actually opened his mouth, suppressed thousands of persuasions, and said such a sentence.
"I've been lucky." Tao Yaoyao saw him loosen his mouth, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a smile, "And I believe in you and Lord Xiao." ”
Zhou family
Since Zhou Yu was killed, the sky of the Zhou family seems to have collapsed all of a sudden, and the concubines who are jealous on weekdays have begun to behave with their tails between their legs, for fear that one of them will be accidentally used by the old lady to get angry.
Even the subordinates in the house are in danger.
Of course, the most frightened of these people were the people in Zhou Yu's courtyard, and when Zhou Yu had just had an accident, Mrs. Zhou called them over and scolded them, blaming them for not protecting Zhou Yu.
And Liu Ruhua, who was with Zhou Yu on the day he was killed, became a thorn in Mrs. Zhou's eyes, a thorn in the flesh, in Mrs. Zhou's opinion, where can the next person have a concubine to serve her heart.
And she has been staying by Zhou Yu's side, why did she come back in a good way, but her son never came back?
Mrs. Zhou just scolded those subordinates, and let them go when they were angry, but for Liu Ruhua, she was tortured on the same day, and today when the person who went to the criminal department to inquire came back and learned that the case had not progressed, Mrs. Zhou was in a bad mood and went to the firewood room again.
At this time, Liu Ruhua was already dying, and the subordinates began to worry when they received Mrs. Zhou's order to continue to torture her, "Madam, Aunt Liu hasn't woken up since last night, and if you fight again, in case you ......"
"What if? She's just a cheap life, my son was killed by her, why does she still want to live well? A hint of murderous intent flashed on Mrs. Zhou's hideous face, "Hit me, beat me hard." As long as she has a breath, don't let it go. ”
Mrs. Zhou was worried that her subordinates were lazy, so she asked people to move stools over, and she personally watched them fight.
"Ma'am, the eldest girl is back."
The maid came in and said.
Mrs. Zhou gave birth to a total of two daughters and a boy, Zhou Yu was the youngest, because she was a son, and she was the most favored by her, but she did not treat her daughter as a human being like those patriarchal people.
Their mother-daughter relationship is very good, the two daughters are also married, the eldest son-in-law is in the national prison, it is said that the future is immeasurable, although the younger son-in-law is a little worse, but the younger son-in-law is smart and will not be too bad in the future.
Yesterday the two daughters came back when they heard about their son, and they were not persuaded by her until nightfall, and she originally told them that if there was nothing to do today, they would not come.
And now it's getting dark, what is the eldest girl doing at this time?
Mrs. Zhou was worried that something was wrong, so she hurriedly took someone to her yard without caring about it, and at this time, Zhou Ying, the eldest lady of the Zhou family, was sitting in the house waiting for her, and when she saw her coming, she hurriedly ran over to meet her.
"Mother, great news, the third prince has found evidence that Tao Yaoyao killed our Yu'er."
When Mrs. Zhou heard this, she was stunned for a moment, and then said anxiously, "Hurry up and tell me about this matter carefully." ”
Obviously, last night, the master said that this matter was most likely not done by Miss Tao, how could he find evidence now? She wants to avenge her son, but she wants the real murderer, not someone who has been framed.
She didn't care whether Tao Yaoyao lived or died, but she didn't want to let the real murderer of her son go unpunished, so she would feel sorry for her son and didn't avenge her.
"People outside say that it was the second girl of the Tao family who took the third prince to rummage through the eldest lady's house, and finally found the red morning dew poison that killed her younger brother in the eldest lady's house."
Zhou Ying also heard about it, and she came to Zhou's house as soon as she learned about it, thinking that the family should have known about her brother's case very much, but she didn't know what her mother meant at all.
"Your father said that the Tao family may not be the real murderer, so he removed the people who were guarding the Tao family."
Mrs. Zhou explained.
Zhou Ying frowned, "Mother, how can you make a decision based on speculation on inconclusive matters, fortunately, the third prince is good to our Zhou family, and thinks about us in everything, otherwise it ......"
"How else?" A deep voice came, and after Zhou Ying and Mrs. Zhou knew that it was the master who came back, they quickly got up and went to the door.
"Dad, have you heard about the Tao family?" Zhou Ying asked obediently.
Zhou Ping already knew about this matter and had been to the Criminal Department, but he thought it was strange, but he didn't tell anyone, who knew that as soon as he came back, he heard his eldest daughter arranging this matter.
"You are a girl's family, don't talk about these things, okay, it's not too early, go back quickly."
Zhou Pingsan ordered the expulsion of guests in two sentences, Zhou Ying was a little displeased, but she didn't dare to do it against her father at this time, Mrs. Zhou wanted to say something, but she remembered her tragic daughter......
After the subordinates sent Zhou Ying away, Mrs. Zhou looked at Zhou Ping, "Did the master guess who the murderer was?" ”
"Not yet." But it's certainly not Tao Yao.
At this time, Tao Shi'an also knew about it, he was drinking tea with his friends, and after learning about it, he went home in a hurry.
Tao Yanyan had just sent off the three princes, and now he was dreaming of the three princesses, when he saw his father coming over in a hurry, and was just about to open his mouth to call someone, he was slapped and blinded.
"Are you crazy?" Tao Shi'an doesn't care whether his children are smart or not, but as long as he is useful and obedient, he is willing to indulge one or two, and the second daughter was pampered by her and grew up.
But how could a child who used to be so well-behaved and smart do such a foolish thing today?
He did make it clear that he didn't like Tao Yao, but she was a member of the Tao family, and at this time, anyone could be stabbed in the back, but the Tao family couldn't.
Otherwise, the Tao family will become a joke in Kyoto City.
But he never expected that this daughter, who had always been well-behaved, would be so bold as to take the third prince to the eldest daughter's courtyard, and let people search the eldest daughter's house.
Tao Yanyan did this to please the third prince, but she didn't look at what her identity was?
In the end, the Tao family will be embarrassed.
"Dad, are you crazy?" Tao Yanyan looked at him aggrieved by his father, "It's not that my father said, the eldest sister is the scourge of the family, if she is gone, can our family live in peace?"
The daughter is doing this all for her father. ”
Tao Yanyan looked at Tao Shi'an pitifully, and didn't know how much she had been wronged, but she knew that her daughter Mo Ruo's father, and the greed in her eyes that she didn't have time to restrain herself, Tao Shi'an couldn't find a reason to lie to herself.
"That's enough, you are not allowed to go anywhere without the permission of the old man during this time."
Tao Yanyan quit, "Dad, the third prince finally came out, and I helped him so much today, I have to seize the opportunity, otherwise I ......"
"Put away your careful thoughts, the third prince will not marry you. At most, it's a concubine. ”
Tao Shi'an turned to leave, Tao Yanyan stood unwillingly, don't think she doesn't know what her father means by this, doesn't she just think that she is a concubine and is not worthy of the third prince?
But what if she becomes a concubine?
A plan flashed through her mind, and she was happy again.
After nightfall, the prison was noticeably quieter, and the prisoners, who had been crying and screaming during the day, were probably tired, and either leaned on or lay down and fell asleep.
Tao Yaoyao sat on the straw against the wall, his eyes closed, but his eyes turned twice from time to time.
That's right, she didn't sleep, and she couldn't sleep, because Zhang actually told her that the plan was tonight, and the success or failure of this matter was related to her life.
"Miss Tao, don't worry, Miss Qiugui we have already hidden."
At dusk, Tao Yaoyao asked Qiu Gui to dress up as a jailer and leave the prison quietly, and the girl naturally refused to leave, but after learning that she could not help if she stayed, she might also affect her own young lady, so she cried and left.
Thinking of Qiu Gui's complaining appearance when he left, Tao Yaoyao's tense mood finally relaxed a little.
"Thank you." Tao Yaoyao opened his eyes and smiled at the jailer.
"Miss Tao is polite, but it's just a trivial matter."
Since these people saw her guarding the Third Prince today, their attitude towards him has obviously changed. Because Tao Yaoyao understands their intentions, he will naturally not implicate them.
"Let's go."
