The prefect spoke, where did the officials below dare to disrespect?

Immediately, the two officials stepped forward and held down Liu Shancheng, and without saying a word, they raised the board and crackled.

Liu Shancheng is clothed and fed, where did he receive this? was beaten so much that his father cried and screamed at his mother, and after the beating, the whole person couldn't get up when he lay on the ground.

"Merchant Liu Shancheng!"

"Little ...... The small ones are in ....... The beating directly stepped on the pride in Liu Shancheng's heart directly under his feet, and listening to the prefect Yu Zhi's big mouth asking, Liu Shancheng endured the sharp pain on his buttocks, and gasped for air and replied weakly.

"This house asks you, is there a maid named Xiaohuan in your house?"

"Back to ...... Go back to the house and talk to the villain...... The villain doesn't remember ....... Liu Shancheng pretended to be confused.

"Hehe, don't remember? You don't remember the maids in your own house? Yu Zhida asked with a sneer.

"Back to the house, there are hundreds of people in the small house, and there are a lot of maids, and the small ones are busy with business on weekdays and don't care about these, and it is common sense that they can't remember. However, the little housekeeper Lin Zhenzong is outside the hall, and the servants at home are all taken care of by Lin Zhenzong. "Liu Shancheng is not stupid, he had already figured out how to answer before he came, and just now Yu Zhida directly gave himself a dismount, and this fight almost cost him half his life.

So Liu Shancheng bit him to death and didn't know any maid Xiaohuan Dahuan, so he directly pushed the matter to the housekeeper Lin Zhenzong.

Yu Zhida didn't say anything after hearing this, and asked the official to bring in Lin Zhenzong outside with a cold face.

Lin Zhenzong walked into the lobby, and at a glance saw his own master lying on the ground with blood oozing on his buttocks, he was suddenly shocked, and then looked at the majestic prefect sitting in the hall, Lin Zhenzong's legs suddenly weakened, and he knelt down directly.

"Who's in the hall? Report it yourself! ”

"Little ...... The little Lin Zhenzong is Liu ...... Liu Shancheng is the housekeeper of Mr. Liu's house. Lin Zhenzong's face turned pale, and his body trembled slightly and replied.

"This mansion asks you, was there a maid named Xiaohuan in the Liu Mansion before?"

"Hui Fuzun, there is ...... Yes....... Lin Zhenzong replied according to Liu Shancheng's previous explanation.

"What about people? Where is it now? ”

"Back to ...... Back to Fuzun, the maid Xiaohuan died of a sudden illness a month ago, and Liu Fu had already buried the person ....... ”

"Lord Qingtian! What a terrible death for my child! My Xiaohuan didn't have a sudden illness at all, he was beaten to death by the people of Liu's Mansion! Please also ask Lord Qingtian to call the shots for the villain! As soon as Lin Zhenzong's words fell, a sharp and desolate cry suddenly sounded, and the woman in the couple who was kneeling just now raised her head and shouted, her face was full of tears, and she looked at Liu Shancheng and Lin Zhenzong with incomparable hatred in her eyes.

The same is true of Xiaohuan's father on the side, he stretched out his hand to drag his wife, but his eyes were like knives towards Liu Shancheng and Lin Zhenzong, his eyes were full of tears, and his face was full of grief and indignation.

Subconsciously avoiding their gaze, Lin Zhenzong flatly denied it: "Back to Fuzun, Xiaohuan did die of a sudden illness, there are many people in Liufu who know about this, if Fuzun doesn't believe it, you can pass on Liufu's subordinates to ask, and the villain can guarantee that every sentence is true!" ”

Lin Zhenzong can be Liu Shancheng's big butler, and he is also called the second master in Liu's mansion, but he is not a useless guy who only knows how to pat himself, he is not only Liu Shancheng's most favored concubine Xiangyu's brother, but also a rather clever person. Although he had just seen Liu Shancheng's miserable appearance in the hall, coupled with the majesty of the hall, his heart was shocked, but after a few words, Lin Zhenzong's heart gradually returned to his stomach.

How Xiaohuan died, he Lin Zhenzong knew best, but as long as he bit to death, he would die of illness, and there was nothing he could do with them. Anyway, after the death of the person, he was thrown into the mass grave a long time ago, and whether the body can be found is still two words.

As for what he said that someone in the Liu Mansion could testify, this is not a matter for the Liu Mansion at all. Liu Shancheng is the head of the Liu Mansion, and he is the chief housekeeper of the Liu Mansion, so the people below naturally will not talk casually.

"Lin Zhenzong!" Yu Zhida's unhurried voice continued: "Have you thought about it carefully, are you sure that the maid Xiaohuan is sick and dead?" Didn't you get killed? ”

"Go back to the house, the villain is sure!" Lin Zhenzong cut the railway.

With a snap, Yu Zhida slapped the wood in shock, and sneered: "Since that's the case, someone is coming!" Passed on as Yang Er's court! ”

Under an order, an old man in his fifties went to the court, first saluted Yu Zhi in the hall, and then reported his identity according to the rules.

This Yang Er is the most experienced man in Pingyang Mansion, his Yang family ancestors have eaten this bowl of rice for generations, and the last time the Kang family ate the dead with tofu, he invited him to examine the corpse, which made the Kang family get out of a difficult situation.

After Yang Er went to the court, Yu Zhida directly asked about the results of the autopsy, and Yang Er immediately replied, saying that he had taken someone to the mass grave to pick up the body of the maid Xiaohuan, because it was cold today, although the body had been buried for more than a month, it was very well preserved, so the autopsy process was very smooth.

Judging from the results of the autopsy, Yang Er said a lot of professional terms, many words that ordinary people couldn't understand at all, but Yu Zhida listened attentively, after all, he was different from ordinary magistrates, and he was born in Dali Temple and was also a technical official in this regard, and after listening, his whole face was gloomy like water.

In the end, Yang Er summarized the results and reported that it was absolutely impossible for the maid Xiaohuan to die of a sudden illness, and it was clear that she was beaten half to death, and finally died of organ failure. This conclusion is absolutely impossible to be wrong, and an official autopsy report was submitted to Yu Zhida!

As soon as these words came out, the whole house was shocked, and the husband and wife cried even more.

Liu Shancheng and Lin Zhenzong were dumbfounded, they didn't expect how the other party found the place where the maid Xiaohuan was buried, you must know that even Liu Shancheng and Lin Zhenzong themselves only knew that they were buried in a mass grave outside the city, and they didn't know the specific location.

But now that the body has been found, and Yang Er's autopsy report proves that Xiaohuan's death was a lynching rather than a sudden illness as they just said. For a while, Liu Shancheng's mind was buzzing, knowing that this matter was in big trouble, once it was really proved that Xiaohuan's death was at his behest, then it would not be so easy to get out.

"Fuzun! Villain...... The villain doesn't know about it, Xiaohuan's death or the subordinate Diao Nu's doing, it really has nothing to do with the villain! Liu Shancheng hurriedly defended himself, and at the same time looked at Lin Zhenzong who was leaning back, and his eyes signaled him to take the responsibility first, no matter what, this fire must not burn on himself.

Lin Zhenzong was also dumbfounded, he was still swearing just now, but it was directly exposed in a blink of an eye, the facts were in front of him, and it was useless to quibble. Now Liu Shancheng gave him another look, clearly letting himself take care of this.

But Lin Zhenzong is not stupid, this is not an ordinary thing, a human life! If it was Liu Shancheng, he might be fine with his connections, but he was just a housekeeper, and the so-called second master was just a title in Liu's mansion, and he was just a dog of Liu Shancheng.

Once this life is buckled on his head, maybe he will be finished, where is Lin Zhenzong willing to admit it? But he didn't dare to pull this matter on Liu Shancheng, so he could only change his head and say that he also heard the report from the people below, and he was deceived by the people below, and he didn't know who killed Xiaohuan.

"What a slave, come on! Give this house a hit! Hit hard! At this time, Lin Zhenzong still refused to admit it, and Yu Zhida suddenly became angry.

With an order, the two officials who had beaten Liu Shancheng just now suddenly stepped forward and held down Lin Zhenzong is crackling.

Lin Zhenzong, who was beaten on this board, was crying for his father and mother, and after the fight, Yu Zhida asked Lin Zhenzong again, who wanted Lin Zhenzong to still deny it, saying that the death of the maid Xiaohuan had nothing to do with him, and he was also deceived by his subordinates, and he was really wronged.

Lin Zhenzong's reaction surprised Yu Zhida, originally thought that Lin Zhenzong would be able to recruit truthfully after a meal, but he didn't expect Lin Zhenzong to be so hard-mouthed, and still refused to admit it.

Frowning slightly, Yu Zhida thought about it, this case must be inseparable from Liu Shancheng and Lin Zhenzong according to his experience.

But now Liu Shancheng pushed two-five-six, biting to death and saying that he didn't know about it. As for Lin Zhenzong, he was also extremely cunning, and flatly denied that he had killed Xiaohuan, and the case was frozen all of a sudden.

looked to the side subconsciously, and the person who had been sitting in the hall without speaking nodded to Yu Zhida, and Yu Zhida suddenly had a bottom in his heart.

As soon as the wood was shocked, Yu Zhida announced that Liu Shancheng and Lin Zhenzong would be temporarily imprisoned, and the case would be retried at a later date. Then, despite Liu Shancheng and Lin Zhenzong's cry of injustice, several officials stepped forward to put torture instruments on the two and took them away from the court and put them in the government prison.

After the people were taken away, they announced their withdrawal.

Yu Zhida got up and turned to the back, and the man who had been sitting also stood up, walked to the husband and wife, leaned over and comforted a few words, and then followed the direction Yu Zhida left and went to the back.

A moment later, in the back hall of the mansion, Yu Zhida and the man were sitting, with two cups of steaming tea on the table, but the two did not move, but talked softly.
