Madam Wang gritted her teeth tightly.
The visitor actually saw her thoughts clearly.
This person thought of everything, so Zhu Cheng didn't run away. She was blocked even if she tried to think of a backup plan.
The autumn rain fell on her body, and her simple bun became loose. Her forehead hair stuck to her face, and she shivered involuntarily.
I can't tell whether it was because of the wind and rain, or because of the discerning eyes of the visitor.
A government official came over and "invited" Madam Wang to the front yard.
The child who was sleeping in the side room also woke up and cried non-stop. The wet nurse followed the yamen's instructions and moved a handful of tuna to sit inside the door to comfort the child.
This way, he can be within the sight of the government officials and avoid getting wet in the rain.
Shan Shen brought Zhu Cheng back.
Seeing that the courtyard door had been opened, he asked the yamen servant: "Is the old lady inside opening the door?"
The yamen servant shook his head: "The prince asked me to climb over the wall. I also wanted to wait for you to come back. Then he turned over with a kite and went in. In just a moment..."
Shan Shen touched the tip of his nose.
He had forgotten that the little boxing and kicking skills of their Shuntian Mansion officials were nothing like the sky and the earth in the Duke Fuguo's Mansion.
When the old man was still alive, how could a mere yamen servant get his turn to ask him to train?
Now, if Duke Fu had not injured his leg, he might have fallen in by himself.
In the courtyard, Zhu Cheng and Lady Wang stared at each other.
Madam Wang regained her composure and asked Shan Shen, "Sir, the government also has rules when handling cases, right? What have we done? The Yamen has to knock on the door in the middle of the night, and we have to climb over the wall to open the door?"
"Pretending to be stupid?" Shan Shen snorted coldly, "Li Yuanfa came into your place during the day, and then only a carriage left, dumping his body in the alley.
Li Yuanfa was involved in a theft case. The yamen kept an eye on him, and we knew his whereabouts clearly.
I generally know why he came here and what he would say to you.
Don't talk about people who didn't die here because of you, it doesn't mean that. "
Zhu Cheng was anxious: "I didn't kill him, it's none of my business."
"You didn't kill him, why did you climb the wall and run away?" Shan Shen asked.
"I..." Zhu Cheng was about to speak, but was interrupted by Mrs. Wang's slap.
Madam Wang said: "Why didn't he get on the carriage and be killed by the people in the carriage? Why did he die here?"
Shan Shen rubbed his eyebrows and gave his master a look.
Master understood.
Master Shan didn't sleep well and didn't have the patience to answer such an obvious and boring question.
"Whether Li Yuanfa died in the morning or at night, we will know the result after a quick investigation," Master and Mrs. Wang finished talking, and then said to Zhu Cheng, "Four Masters, there are still injuries on your body. Don't get wet in the rain. Come with us to Shuntian Mansion. .
Everyone should cooperate and suffer less unnecessary pain.
Fourth Master, tell me, what are you doing over the wall? He fell down and was injured.
Oh, by the way, before we move our seats, please point out to all of us where Li Yuanfa was knocked to death? "
Zhu Cheng pointed to the ground without even thinking about it: "I didn't want to harm him. I really didn't want to. He didn't stand firm and fell on his head. How could I have known that he just fell to death like that? He was unlucky, and so was I!"
After the master stepped forward to confirm the location, he asked the government officials to take action and escorted everyone back to the government office.
Shan Shen turned around and said to Xu Jian: "I really didn't realize that Mr. Zhu Si raised a baby outside and gave birth to a little one. Now it's fine, and it caused a loss of life. Hey, why can't it be done? How about taking care of yourself? If you can't take care of yourself, nine out of ten will cause trouble!"
Xu Jian raised his eyebrows and asked, "Who was the last one? I remember Mr. Shan scolded him heartily at the court meeting."
After saying this, Shan Shen felt embarrassed.
"Ashamed! Ashamed!" he said, "From my son to my father, no one is worthy of me, and he still wants to point fingers at my Shuntian Mansion. Can I not scold him?"
Speaking of this, Shan Shen suddenly remembered that the person in front of him was sent by the Holy One to "point out".
Although Duke Fuguo said that he would not interfere casually, the Holy Lord's intention was clear. How could Shan Shen directly refute the Holy Lord's intention?
Shan Shen's thoughts quickly changed and he said: "What he said makes no sense at all. But even if there is some truth in what he said, I still have several advantages, such as following the good deeds."
Xu Jian couldn't help but curled her lips and laughed when she heard Shan Shen making amends here.
The group returned to the Yamen.
Wu Zuo had already finished checking Li Yuanfa and carefully explained the results to Shan Shen and Xu Jian.
"It hit the back of the head, which is a fatal injury. There are no other signs of fighting on the body, and there are a few bruises, which were caused by collision during transportation."
After Shan Shen heard this, he said to Xu Jian: "It seems like it was an accident. Mr. Zhu Si's negligence caused someone's death, so he is definitely guilty."
Xu Jian said: "I don't know anything about the trial. I'm just curious about what Li Yuanfa said when he was looking for Zhu Cheng? How did Zhu Cheng tell Li Yuanfa about the two boxes of gold bricks before?"
Shan Shen nodded.
I've been busy all night, and it's almost time to go to court.
As dawn approaches, the news of a murder case in Liuguo Hutong gradually spreads.
In the morning, the rain stopped.
Grandma Wang rushed to the entrance of Liuguo Hutong and was extremely surprised to see the pointing crowds in the east and west piles.
She was not on official duty today, and had received an order from the princess to come here to inquire about something.
As a buyer, Grandma Wang usually walks around the front and doesn't even have many opportunities to go to Mrs. Chen to reply.
Yesterday, she was invited to Bao'an Garden by Wan Yue.
Aunt Wang was cautious and excited, especially when she saw the princess, her heart was beating fast.
The princess is so beautiful. When the princess smiles, she is really like flowers. Her voice is clear and clear, like a lark...
Such a good princess is so gentle when talking to her subordinates.
"I came to see my mother today because I have something to ask her for help with."
"My mother came out a while ago and talked about Su Ke's scandal outside our house. She spoke eloquently and eloquently."
"As soon as you hear it, you can tell that mom is a good storyteller and has a very clever tongue."
"I needed someone to find out something for me, and I immediately thought of my mother."
Grandma Wang felt embarrassed when the princess was praising her, but she was very proud in her heart - the princess was praising her!
Therefore, she listened carefully to what the princess said about the situation.
The princess's good friend, Miss Zhu from the British government, her mother had been ill for eight years, and her father also kept an outhouse. This was really sad to see and shed tears to hear.
She is still a very good girl, thinking that she has given birth to a son outside the family, and it is not a problem to raise a son outside, so she wants to take him back to the house.
Right now, we need to inquire about the origin of the outer chamber and the child's conduct...
Aunt Wang patted her chest and agreed.
This matter is not difficult at all for her.
As long as you have a good mouth and are good at talking, you can understand the whole alley.
But she didn't expect that when she came to Liuguo Hutong early in the morning, there would already be so many people gathered here.
No matter what, let’s chat first!
Will update later.
