"You eat first, and after that we go to the theater."
Li Yuan raised her eyebrows and asked, "You won't tell me your plan?"
"If nothing else happens, you won't go tonight."
As he spoke, he said softly: "I heard from my aunt just now that there is a big chaos in Gaofu and Chen's houses now, and Qian's house and Zheng's house are also involved. Otherwise, why would you, brother Ziran, go there? Can the banquet go as planned tonight? I don’t know if it will be held yet.”
After saying that, Xie Yanzhi thought for a moment and continued: "You eat first, and I'll go take a look first. If it goes well, tonight's banquet will have to be postponed. We can take advantage of them to be in chaos, and I will take you to Qian's Mansion. Location I know and remember what time they are today and where the patrol is.”
"Mother Yuan, after we clear out those things, we don't care if they want to continue holding the banquet. Brother Ziran mainly wants to know about things like account books. If they are in the warehouse by then, I will find a way to send them to Brother Ziran. What else does it have to do with us?"
Li Yuan liked that he was so confident and evil. She smiled and said, "Okay, you go first. But are you sure we can enter the Qian Mansion? After entering the Qian Mansion, we can successfully avoid the patrolling guards and guards. People?"
"I'm 70% sure. We'll act according to the circumstances. Yuan Niang, you have to believe me, I won't do anything I'm not sure about!"
Li Yuan saw his serious face and nodded: "Okay, you go and take a look first, and I will follow later. Xiao Qingsha will ask her aunt to take her back to the Su Mansion first. As for my makeup, I will also do it." It would be easier if you don't have to attend the banquet at night. I even picked out the clothes to dress up and waited until dark. "
When Li Yuan went out after eating, the street Suxue said was full of people.
The government office had not yet opened the seal, and Mr. Chen and Mrs. Gao were unwilling to go to the government office, so they tried the case on the street.
Magistrate Zheng was originally thinking about how to get some useful information from Meng Peng at night. When he learned about this, his face turned dark.
He felt that the Chen Mansion and the Gao Mansion were really outrageous. It was not easy to live in peace during the Chinese New Year, so he had to give them a good shake when he turned around.
Unexpectedly, when he arrived, he found that his cousin's sister-in-law had actually sued his own man for murder.
Is this okay?
If Meng Peng is not in Fucheng today, he can take the person into custody first and wait until the Yamen is unsealed after the New Year before trying again.
But Meng Peng is here, and human lives are involved, so we must act urgently.
Therefore, he started examining the case on the spot.
But this was an informal place, he was not wearing official uniform, and the official was not around, so the trial was not formal.
No, no one knelt down except those who fell on the ground.
Qin Lin even shouted Cousin Zheng in order to show that she was closer to him.
When Meng Peng arrived, he immediately took over the case upon seeing the situation.
He told Magistrate Zheng that he was a relative of the person who complained, so he would be bending the law for personal gain, and as a parent official, he had to avoid suspicion.
Magistrate Zheng wondered how he and Mrs. Gao were related, but when he thought about the complicated relationship, and if Meng Peng returned to Beijing to investigate the place where he worked, there were relatives there, which would not comply with the avoidance system. He suffers.
It's hard to say, even his father will be implicated.
Because of this, he could only grit his teeth and withdraw from his position, handing over the power of judgment to Meng Peng.
In Dali Temple, hearing cases belongs to the position of the Dali Temple Prime Minister and the punishment officer. Dali Temple Shaoqing like Meng Peng is the second-in-command in Dali Temple.
The daily work they do at Dali Temple is to review and inspect the judgments of the Ministry of Punishments.
Therefore, Meng Peng is also familiar with trying cases.
Facing him, Qin Lin didn't dare to have a relationship. She wanted to send Mr. Gao to prison, so she said directly: "Sir, the civilian woman wants to sue Gao Ningyao and Wu Yu'er for murder. They committed murder in August 13 years ago. , one went out to the city to offer incense and pray for blessings, and the other went out to have sex in the name of going out for business. I heard that he was bumped into by a scholar who was staying overnight to rush for the exam. Later, they were afraid that the matter would be exposed, so they sent people pretending to be bandits and murdered him. "
When Mr. Gao heard this, he shouted harshly at Qin Lin: "You fart!"
As he said that, he looked at Meng Peng: "Sir, ordinary people are good people and have never done anything harmful to nature. At most, they are a little confused when it comes to matters between men and women."
Meng Peng directly ignored Master Gao's words. When he heard that it was the murder of a prominent person, he asked Qin Lin: "You have already said that this happened thirteen years ago. Is there any evidence? If there is no evidence, you can just slander others with empty words." , but you need to hit twenty big boards with a stick."
"Yes! Sir, there is a common woman! The witness of the common woman is Mrs. Cai next to Wu Yu'er. She personally told the common woman a few days ago. You can call her and ask her."
