Chapter 74 Master Book of Landless Play
There was a trace of resentment in the master's eyes, and he watched the calm and composed Chu Nanzhi closely, with a puzzled expression on his face.
He has recorded prison cases for many years, but he has never seen such interrogation of prisoners. He neither tortures to extract confessions, nor puts on official power to intimidate prisoners, and chats with prisoners in an approachable manner.
This woman is probably sick.
Blanking Chu Nanzhi's eyes with a cold face, the master could only sigh silently and lower his head.
Chu Nanzhi pretended not to see it and smiled at Shen Yang: "I also heard from my mother and sister-in-law that Lady Yang and the Patriarch of the Shen family are very harmonious and loving, and there is no conflict with Lady Han. "
Speaking of the second half of the sentence, she deliberately emphasized her tone.
Shen Yang shook his head naturally: "As the lady said, my patriarch treats me generously, and Sister Han is also a sensible person. Not only did she let my son Yunqing come to visit often, she also taught Yunqing to treat everyone equally, so don't neglect her. My little mother, I have taught my son to be knowledgeable, filial, fraternal, benevolent and righteous, and the women of the people have long been satisfied."
Saying so, her eye circles gradually turned red, and she couldn't help sobbing softly again: "But the housewife definitely doesn't know why the good-looking Patriarch died in the courtyard, and failed to take care of the Patriarch, the housewife deserves death .”
Looking at the sincere emotion in the woman's eyes, combined with the previous reasoning, Chu Nanzhi can basically believe that what she said is not false.
Moreover, through the woman's words and deeds, she can roughly be sure that this person is a fool who has no plans.
She turned her eyes to Wei Ziqing who was sitting quietly at the side: "Brother Wei, I heard that you don't have a wife yet?"
When this topic was mentioned, Wei Ziqing suddenly became a little shy, and replied shyly like a little lady:
"I don't dare to hide my sister Zhi, but I already have my heart attached to me. I have been in love with Miss Xiaofang from the neighboring village for a long time, and I have made a lifelong decision with her. I originally thought about going to her home to propose marriage in person at the end of the new year, but I never thought about it."
At this point, he suddenly fell down, and sighed sadly: "I'm afraid her parents will no longer be willing to marry their daughter to me."
"You don't have to be discouraged."
Speaking like this, Chu Nanzhi felt a sense of loneliness inexplicably: It turned out that the woman he was pretending to be in his heart was not the original owner.
This is really wishful thinking and unrequited love!
But when she heard the name Xiaofang's lady, Chu Nanzhi still couldn't help being a little curious. She really wanted to see if Xiaofang in this era is the same cute and cute person. Miss Xiaofang's family will definitely accept you again."
Looking at his demeanor and demeanor, he never made any eye contact with Shen Yang from the beginning to the end, as if he was a stranger.
As for the sweetheart in his mouth, his brows and eyes are filled with the deep affection that only when a young man is obsessed with a young girl.
It is absurd that a gentleman who is so sincere and in love would think of committing adultery with the concubine of a wealthy family.
Chu Nanzhi was full of fantasies. She didn't believe that the famous Xiaofang would not be as attractive as a married concubine. Looking at the two of them, she pointedly asked:
"The elder brother of the Wei family has been working as a private school teacher in the Shen family for a long time. He must be very familiar with everyone in the Shen family. With this lady Yang?"
Speaking of this, she stopped suddenly, and her eyes wandered between the two of them, like a gossip girl waiting to eat melons.
Wei Ziqing heard the meaning behind her words, and immediately replied seriously: "I know that there are a lot of gossips in the village about this lady and Mrs. Yang, but I have never had anything to do with Mrs. Yang. Since entering the mansion, I have There are only two sides to Yang Niangzi."
"What Mr. Wei said is true."
Shen Yang took over his words with a calm expression: "The woman and Mr. Wei first met at the beginning of last year, when Mr. first entered the residence, sister Han led the woman to the front hall to meet Mr. because of Yun Qing's studies, and the other Once, at the end of the year, the woman and Sister Han thanked the husband for his hard work in teaching the young son's studies, and made a winter robe with her to give to the husband."
"indeed so."
Wei Ziqing pursed his lips and fell into silence calmly.
"I believe you are innocent."
Chu Nanzhi said a word of relief.
It's just that the two of them repeatedly mentioned the Shen family's mistress Han, and the words were full of respect and gratitude to this woman, which made her a little puzzled.
Han's character design is too perfect.
A woman who cannot bear children, takes the initiative to take concubines for her husband, and is so enthusiastic and kind to concubines and concubines. This is far from what she has learned about some ancient back houses.
Logically speaking, if wives and concubines live under the same roof, the back house should be in a state of turmoil. Why is the Shen family so harmonious.
Thinking about it, I always feel a little tricky.
It's just that she searched for thousands of reasons in her mind but failed to link Han with this case.
After all, the person who poisoned her was indeed the woman in front of her. The person who poisoned her was not Shen Yang's mother and son, but their common husband.
It's incredible.
After listening to the gossip and gossip for a long while, the chief clerk at this time had no patience at all. Looking at the empty case file in his hand, he wrinkled his old face and began to urge: "Miss Chu, this case should get to the point, right? If we go on chatting, I'm afraid the county magistrate will not be able to explain it to me."
"The Registrar said so."
Chu Nanzhi smiled calmly, and looked at Shen Yang again thoughtfully: "Then let's get to the point, Mrs. Yang, please recall carefully the bowl of tea that the Patriarch of the Shen family drank from the beginning to the end." Is it true that the tail is personally handed by you?"
Seeing this, the master finally felt relieved and picked up the long pen in his hand again.
Reminded by Chu Nanzhi, Shen Yang carefully recalled the situation of that day in his mind, and answered after deliberation:
"The woman remembers that Shen Lang had just returned from a business trip in other places that day. In order to welcome Shen Lang, Sister Han specially called the woman and Yun Qing to meet in her courtyard. Everyone drank and ate together at the banquet. Afterwards, Shen Lang came to the people. Taking a nap in the women's courtyard, the woman saw him working hard, so she specially cooked a bowl of cauliflower to relieve his heat and fatigue, and no outsiders intervened here."
"Oh, scented tea."
Chu Nanzhi thought and nodded: "Then this tea?"
Shen Yang didn't think about it: "They were all picked by the women themselves, and dried, and the women and Yun Qing also soaked them for drinking a few days ago, and there was no abnormality."
Answered simply and crisply.
While making records, the master clerk whispered in her ear: "The half bag of scented tea seized from this prison for women, the county magistrate has asked someone to test the poison, there is no problem, the poison is just placed there. In the teacup of the Patriarch of the Shen family."
"I see."
Chu Nanzhi raised her eyebrows slightly, and then looked at Shen Yang seriously: "Is there anything missing?"
Ms. Shen Yang thought about it again, then shook her head resentfully.
The master secretary was waving a long pen in his hand, but he heard Chu Nanzhi suddenly shouted in a loud voice: "Okay, that's it for today."
The master book regained his composure, looked at the scroll with only two lines written on it, and immediately grimaced: "This, this is how the old man will hand it over to the county magistrate?"
Chu Nanzhi looked at his annoyed and bitter attitude, and comforted him somewhat dumbfoundingly: "My lord, we are investigating the case, not making a fuss, so there is no need for a long speech."
"Then what does Mrs. Chu have in mind?"
The head secretary looked unconvinced. These days, he heard his colleagues brag about how powerful this woman is, but when he saw it today, he almost laughed his teeth out.
It’s nothing more than a lack of official authority, and there is no formality at all. After chatting with criminals, it ends in a hurry, just like a child playing house.
He really hates the company of people who don't do their job.
Chu Nanzhi was also stopped by his words.
If there is something to be gained, she still has no clue, but if there is no gain at all, she has some direction in her heart.
The crystal clear eyes wandered on the expectant faces, she bit her lips lightly, and shook her head slowly.
Then, he walked out of the hall silently.
