Cui Pu returned to Hailing County, and Wang Qiqi and others hurriedly surrounded him.

"How is it going?" asked Wang Qiqi.

"She's fine. Cui Pu said slowly, and then looked at the group of people, "You don't need me to tell you what happened in Yangzhou City, right?

"Could this matter be provoked by Wu Lixin and them again?" asked Wang Qiqi in a low voice.

"No way. Cui Pu shook his head, "The Wu family has a big heart. Wu Lixin lost badly in front of me in the first three years, and they must have wanted him to press me down in the past three years. Wu Lixin must be far superior to me in order to highlight his ability and facilitate him to take over as the prefect of Yangzhou three years later. What's more, there are still roads in Tianchang County that have not been repaired, and my money bag can't be poured for the time being. So, it's not going to be what they do. ”

"However, now that someone is playing against you, they will also secretly stomp on your head. Mr. Zhuang said.

Not secretly. In the court just now, Governor Zhou had already begun to step on him.

Cui Pu took a deep breath: "Before leaving, I deceived the surnamed Wan and got some news from him. Now, let's do some research in private. ”

Mr. Zhuang and the others nodded hurriedly.

The group was about to go in, and another person came outside: "Lang Jun, Guo Tingshi, they are here!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Guo Tingshi and his group swaggering in. Seeing Cui Pu, Guo Tingshi immediately took a step forward: "Cui Liu, you didn't even tell us about such a big thing, what do you mean? Look down on our group of old guys, don't you?"

"Of course not! At that time, the situation was urgent, and the government kept urging us to hurry over, and we left without even having time to tell anyone. Haven't I just come back now?I'm about to ask someone to tell you that I'm safe!" Cui Pu hurriedly said.

"Report safety, will you report safety if your daughter-in-law is back?"

A smear of gray suddenly appeared on Cui Pu's face.

"Nope. He said.

"Then what else can be rewarded!" Guo Tingshi immediately shouted, and pulled him up, "Let's go, you quickly tell us everything that happened." Although we are martial artists, we haven't eaten for nothing all these years, maybe we can help you come up with some good ideas!"

Guo Yao also clenched his little fists: "If they really frame Sister A, I will break into the Yangzhou Mansion alone, rescue Sister A, and then beat all the people who killed Sister A!"

Cui Pu was so moved that he squeezed out a smile: "Thank you for your concern." Now I won't say any polite words, it's important to solve the matter in front of me, please come in with me!"

This night, the lights in the backyard of the county government in Hailing County were lit all night.

Early the next morning, Cui Pu went to work as usual, and Guo Tingshi and others also returned to their respective mansions, and everything seemed to be calm.

But in the afternoon, Xiao Si'er hurriedly ran to Cui Pu: "Lang Jun, it's not good! I don't know what's going on in the Wanjia family, but it spread outside." Now the whole Yangzhou Mansion knows about it, and they don't know how the matter spread, they are all saying that the lady is because she grabbed a jade comb with Wan Golangjun, and she was not in a good mood for a while, so she let Qingfeng Qingyun and them hold down and beat people, and went to half their lives on the spot. Now, there are already many people who are denouncing the lady for taking human life. There are even some scholars who are anxious for justice and righteousness, and they threaten to write a joint complaint in 10,000 words, and they must ask the lady to pay for Wan Golangjun's life!"

"Yes? I see. Cui Pu's eyes darkened, and his lips moved.

With such a big news, it is impossible for Governor Zhou not to inform Mu Jiaojiao in time.

When Mu Jiaojiao heard it, she just smiled faintly: "Yes, I know." ”

The current situation is probably the same as the so-called that has spread in later generations

The people are always blind, and it is easy to believe the rumors from outside, and in particular, there is a natural hatred of the rich in their hearts. Once this kind of psychology is provoked by others, and then used again, it is a great force.

I think at the beginning, didn't Cui Pu use the people of Tianchang County to help him block the attack of Princess Tangchang when he was in Tianchang County?

When you come out to mix, you always have to pay it back. Now he's going to go back even harder.

I'm afraid that after a while, the news outside will spread even more, and the content will be distorted. At that time, it doesn't matter what the truth of the matter is, and the people will only ask the government to severely punish the murderers of the 'innocent people'. Forced by public opinion, the government must take corresponding countermeasures. Even if the truth is found out and clarified at that time, the people will only use this as an excuse for officials to protect each other.

She had already guessed that the person behind it would definitely have a backhand. But I didn't expect this backhand to come so quickly. It can be seen that they have really been preparing for a long time!

Mrs. Zhou listened to the words of the prefect Zhou and came to pass the word. Who knew that Mu Jiaojiao was not panicked at all after hearing this, but she began to be surprised in her heart: "Little lady, aren't you afraid?"

"I'm afraid, but what can I do if I'm afraid? Now I'm sitting here, waiting for my husband to clear my grievances outside. It's useless for me to worry about it. Instead of this, I might as well relax and have a good baby, or wait until the day when the unjust case is revealed, and I will be reunited with my husband safely. Mu Jiaojiao said with a smile.

It's a rare boldness. Mrs. Zhou thinks that at this age, she may not be as calm as her, especially now that Mu Jiaojiao is still eight months pregnant!

It's not simple for such a thin little lady to hide such a strong heart in her body. If it weren't for the fact that she was the target of her husband's current crackdown, Mrs. Zhou would have wanted to take her hand and comfort her.

But at the moment, she could only say vaguely: "My master ordered someone to invite the master of the Qu family and the master of the Wei family, but these two people went out to do business and couldn't come back for a day or two." It seems that the case will not be heard again in a day or two. Also, the official who went to Xiali Town came back and said that Dr. Cha, who was serving tea at the inn that day, had quit his job last month, and he didn't know where he went. They're sending people to try to find it. ”

Then you shouldn't be able to find it. Mu Jiaojiao smiled at her: "Thank you." ”

"No, I'm just talking to you casually. Mrs. Zhou hurriedly waved her hand, "Okay, you can rest first, and I will come to see you in the evening." ”

Mu Jiaojiao nodded.

After Mrs. Zhou left, she lowered her head, stroked her high protruding belly with one hand, and whispered to herself: "Child, what do you say your father is doing now? Is he also thinking about us? He hasn't seen me for so long now, and he's just going to cry alone!"

As she spoke, her eyes were a little pantothenic, and she quickly took a deep breath.

The little guy in his belly suddenly moved again. Mu Jiaojiao smiled again: "Do you miss your father too? After your father left yesterday, you don't like to move much." Is it that there is no one to play with you, and you are lazy? It doesn't matter, wait patiently, and our family will be reunited in a few days. ”

At the end of the sentence, her voice choked up.

Seeing this, Hongdou hurriedly stepped forward: "Lady, are you okay?"

"It's okay, I'm just ...... I miss him a little. Mu Jiaojiao smiled lowly.

Days passed in the blink of an eye. During this period, Wei Zhuang hurried back when he heard the news, and the Zhou Governor's Mansion held another trial. However, Master Wan insisted that Mu Jiaojiao killed his son, but Mu Jiaojiao and Wei Zhuang insisted that this matter had nothing to do with them. The two sides were at a stalemate, and finally had to withdraw from the court and retry the trial.

Now, Cui Pu's face was gloomy, and the atmosphere in the study was also surprised and tense.

But Wang Qilang took several deep breaths before whispering: "Now the news outside is getting more and more out of the picture." Those literati also regarded themselves as righteous people, and wrote several articles criticizing their sisters-in-law. Public opinion among the people has also developed very unfavorably in the sister-in-law, and now some people have spontaneously gathered at the gate of the Yangzhou Mansion to demand that the Zhou Governor's Mansion quickly make a judgment and let the sister-in-law pay for her life. Some people even said......"

"Say what?"

They said that now that the evidence of the crime is conclusive, the Zhou Governor's refusal to make a verdict is actually deliberately covering up. I waited for the people on the Chang'an side to make a move and fabricate evidence that could refute the facts in front of them. ”

"It's really good, they even blocked the road on the Chang'an side for me. Cui Pu chuckled, "This person's methods are really ruthless." It's like this, and I look like I'm going to be cornered!"

Saying that, he looked at Wang Qilang: "You say, if I want to protect myself now, do I want the strong man to break his wrist, quickly break off the relationship with her, and let her bear all the blame alone?"

"You're not going to do that. Wang Qilang shook his head.

"Yes, I won't. Cui Pu also shook his head firmly.

While the two were talking, they suddenly saw Xiao Si'er break through the door: "Lang Jun, there's a situation over there!"

Cui Pu immediately stood up. "Let's go, show me the way!"
