Chapter 407: Jedi Strikes Back

"Burning evidence? Only such a shameless person can do such a thing. When Mu Jiaojiao heard this, she just laughed lightly.

Cui Pu also sneered: "I kind of understand why Zhang Zhongshu was defeated by them. Zhang Zhongshu is such a square character, where can he be an opponent of such a bull, ghost, snake, and god? In order to suppress the opponent, they will do everything they can, and they are embarrassed!"

"As long as you can achieve your goal, isn't it normal to use some methods as help?" Mu Jiaojiao complained in a low voice, "It seems that you have used fewer methods!"

Cui Pu smirked. "I am me, Zhang Zhongshu is Zhang Zhongshu! I have never been a good person, and those who oppose me are not good things, so we naturally don't need to pay attention to any means to do it. But Zhang Zhongshu acted above board, but they still used such a shameless way to deal with him, so it can't be said. ”

"There's nothing undeniable. In their eyes, I'm afraid that Zhang Zhongshu is a wicked person!" Mu Jiaojiao said, "If you don't feel happy, just use your method to help him get angry." As the saying goes, the wicked still need the wicked to grind!"

"You're right, I think they need me to grind it. Cui Pu immediately nodded solemnly.

After more than a month, Mrs. Cao finally arrived in Yangzhou by boat.

Coming with her was Xiao Changshi in King Shou's Mansion.

"I heard that Cao Niangzi has been found? There is still an old account to settle between us, so this time this time the official took the downwind boat of the Criminal Department and came to see Cao Niangzi. In any case, she must give an explanation to the official about what happened back then!" Standing in front of Cui Pu, he shouted indignantly.

Cui Pu tugged at the corners of his mouth disdainfully.

When who doesn't know that you and Niu Xianlin are in the same group? You are planning to use both prongs to force the Qiu family to quit their relatives, so that they can also pull the matter on my head.

It's a pity that you still underestimate the character of the Qiu family.

After two months of going to court again, Mrs. Cao saw Cao Shu come out and scolded her face angrily, and the words were naturally unfilial to Cao Shu, not to mention running away from home when the family was in danger, and also imprisoned him, a grandmother, which is really heinous.

A person scolded for a long time before she knelt down in front of Niu Xianlin and wept bitterly: "The old woman now only asks Niu to depose and teach this girl the truth of life, lest the world scold me that the Cao family has no tutor! Otherwise, even if the old woman dies, she will have no shame to face the ancestors of the Cao family when she goes to Jiuquan!"

"Great-grandmother, are you sick again?" Listening patiently to her finish speaking, Cao Shu said with concern.

Mrs. Cao was stunned, and immediately shouted at the top of her voice: "Who is sick? Who is sick? I think you are the one who is sick!"

Cui Pushi Shiran got up and took out a stack of papers: "Niu deposed the envoy, this is the testimony that the officials ordered to collect everywhere these days. All the people in Yangzhou who had seen Mrs. Cao unanimously believed that she was suffering from heart disease, and the symptoms were extremely serious. These are all signed by the people, and the lower officials dare not make a fake, and they also ask Niu to look at it. ”

After the Qiu family's Geng post was burned, Cui Pu began to toss people everywhere to collect this kind of evidence. Niu Xianlin already knew about this matter, and he didn't stop it. Anyway, the ultimate purpose of their doing this is not Cao Shu. As long as you can step on Cao Shu's springboard and involve Cui Pu again, it will be a success!

As for whether this old lady Cao has a heart disease, who cares?

Cui Pu's actions were just the last bit of dying struggle of a dying man in his opinion. He enjoyed watching the play.

Of course, Mrs. Cao herself cares very much. As soon as she saw the thick stack of testimonies, she immediately jumped three feet high: "Cui Liu, don't deceive people too much! Don't you know from me, this is the revenge of you and the little slut of the Mu family against me! It's just that at the beginning, it was obvious that you were thinking about the thirteen ladies of my family, but you were caught and raped in bed by the little slut surnamed Mu, and you were afraid of being beaten by her, so you slandered me for harming you." Heaven and earth conscience, I am at this age, I just hope that the thirteen ladies of my family can marry a good family, and live a stable life is enough, where can I do such a dirty thing? But I don't know what kind of rice soup you poured on her, so that she was convinced of your words, and even me, a great-grandmother, ignored it! If I hadn't been cornered, would I have sued the Criminal Department?"

As soon as she said this, Niu Xianlin, Dai Ziang, and even Chen Junbi all had a bright eye, and they all glanced at Cui Pu with gloating squints—this is the person you are trying to get back to Yangzhou? Now, you enjoy the benefits she has brought you!

However, no matter how Mrs. Cao shouted, and no matter what these people thought of him, Cui Pu only said coldly: "Niu deposed the envoy, the evidence is conclusive, Mrs. Cao is sick again now, the lower officials think that we should quickly invite someone to treat her, what do you think?"

"What Governor Cui said is very true. "Originally, Mrs. Cao just came to go through the motions. Now that he had shown them the excitement, Niu Xianlin didn't keep her much, so he nodded immediately.

Mrs. Cao didn't do it yet, and hurriedly scolded again. But Imperial Physician Chang immediately stepped forward and quietly put one hand on Mrs. Cao's waist, and Mrs. Cao suddenly fell down softly as if she had lost her strength.

The two medicine boys immediately stepped forward, set the person up and left.

At this time, Xiao Changshi also spoke slowly: "Cao Niangzi, do you know who this official is?"

"The little girl doesn't know. Cao Shu shook her head.

"You don't even know? This official's surname is Xiao, but he is the chief historian of the Shouwang Mansion!" Xiao Changshi said through gritted teeth.

When Cao Shu heard this, her face immediately turned white, and she shouted loudly: "Don't come to me! I am already a member of the Qiu family, and I have already been promised to the Qiu family! There is no matchmaker between me and you, and I don't do anything, so what are you still looking for me for? The lives of the entire Cao family have been with you, aren't you enough?"

"Nonsense! How can this official make the Cao family pay for his own life?" Xiao Changshi immediately shouted, "This official came this time, just to let you give this official an explanation!"

"I don't know what kind of explanation Xiao Changshi wants? Since she is my Qiu family wife, then this explanation is the same for my wife of a certain generation. As soon as he said this, Qiu Shan Shi Ran appeared again.

It's this person! A mere commoner actually robbed his woman. And until now, he has not had the intention of giving up people to him. He is even more hateful than Cui Pu!

"Qiu familywife, are you sure? But why does the official remember that her grandfather had already promised her to the official as a concubine?"

Geng Ti fell in front of Qiu Shan without dying. These lines are clearly written on the yellowed page, indicating that the Cao family gave Cao Shu to Xiao Changshi.

Qiu Shan's eyes just flashed, and he said: "Everyone knows that this is just the wishful thinking of Old Madam Cao after suffering from heart disease, and it is not Cao Changan's true intentions. ”

"Oh, then do you know what Cao Chang'an's intentions are?" Xiao Changshi said with a smile, "I heard that the official heard that you also claimed that Cao Niangzi was promised to you ten years ago? If you can come up with evidence, then the official will let her go and let you poor mandarin ducks fly away." ”

He said it with pity, but the eyes that looked at Cao Shu were ill-intentioned.

It is conceivable that if Cao Shu follows him this time, then the future will definitely be extremely miserable.

"I don't have it here, I was burned last time I put it in the palace. But they have all seen it with their own eyes, and they can testify for me!" said Qiu Shan.

Dai Ziang hurriedly waved his hand. "That being said, at that time we couldn't be sure whether Geng Ti was the work of Cao Chang'an. This testimony officer did not dare to do it. ”

Chen Junbi said the same.

Cui Pu and Niu Xianlin didn't speak, but they didn't stand up to show their support for him.

Qiu Shandeng's face was flushed with anxiety: "You obviously saw it at the time, why do you say that you can't testify now?"

"We really can't do this. Otherwise, you will come up with other evidence?" Niu Xianlin suggested to him with a gentle face.

"Other evidence?" Qiu Shan frowned, and then his face turned red again, "I know! I do have a few letters between my father and Cao Changan here, and I have also mentioned this family affair in my heart!"

So saying, he took out two letters and presented them.

These are two ordinary letters, just tools for gossip between Cao Shu's grandfather and Doctor Qiu. However, in one of the letters, Cao Changan wrote that although his granddaughter had reached the end of his life, he was reluctant to marry his granddaughter so early, and planned to keep her for a few more years.

And the other letter should have been written by Mrs. Cao when she was clamoring to marry Cao Shu to Xiao Changshi as a concubine, which was full of grievances, and it was also indispensable to complain about Xiao Changshi and her mother. Between the lines, there was also a faint persuasion of the Qiu family to simply come to the door and withdraw from their relatives. It's just that he is reluctant to do this family business, so he speaks very obscurely.

However, with these two letters as evidence, it can indeed show that Cao Shu's grandfather had already married Cao Shu to the Qiu family.

Unexpectedly, this person actually had evidence hidden, and Niu Xianlin and Xiao Changshi's faces were not very good-looking.

"It's just that whether this letter really came from Cao Chang'an is still up for debate!" Chen Junbi said again.

"This is simple, there are not many others in our Yangzhou City, but the literati and ink writers are grasping a lot of them. Ask them to compare these two letters with Cao Changan's original handwriting, is it true or false, won't it be clear?" Cui Pu immediately said, "Xiao Changshi, do you want to also show people your Geng post as a comparison?"

"Okay! This official also wants to know, is the Cao family really married to the daughter who has been promised to another family and promised to be married to this official!" Xiao Changshi was still filled with righteous indignation.

Cui Pu immediately sent someone to invite someone.

They invited some of the best literati and artists in Yangzhou City, these people were arrogant and proud, and they disdained to be in the same stream as others. Let them distinguish the real from the fake, and no one will object.

Mix up a few pieces of paper and send them to be seen. After a meal, the results came out.

"These pieces of paper are indeed from the same person. But this one is obviously different from the other handwriting, and it is clear that someone imitated it!"

The piece of paper that was taken out separately was nothing else, it happened to be the Geng post that Xiao Changshi took out!

Xiao Changshi's face suddenly turned blue and white for a while, and his face was extremely ugly.

"You...... You're talking nonsense! This Geng post of mine is clearly written by Cao Changan himself!"

"Someone just doesn't care if the handwriting is the same, who wrote it, and someone doesn't care. "The one who speaks does not bother to debate with him.

Xiao Changshi's face immediately turned black.

Seeing this, Cao Shu seized the opportunity to deal with it: "Niu deposed the envoy, and the little girl will also sue! Sue Xiao Changshi for personal vendetta, and take advantage of the fact that the Cao family was raided, and take advantage of the fact that the Cao family was raided, and take one of the twelve-year-old twin brothers of the little girl to the mansion and be confined! The other brother was also taken captive by the son of the Dai Observation Envoy, and now he has been tortured to death!"
