Chapter 90: Mingxiu Plank Road
Chapter 90 Mingxiu Plank Road
Chu Nanzhi looked at Hu Maoxi calmly, and smiled strangely:
"Master County Magistrate, I heard that Mrs. Yu committed suicide in prison today?"
"yes."
Hu Maoxi replied suspiciously, but after looking at Sun Xiancheng, he suddenly realized, and stared at him fiercely, thinking: This old guy can't control his mouth again, talking too much.
The arrogant little eyes were not angry but prestige, Sun Xiancheng's face suddenly tightened in fright, and he shrank and did not dare to raise his head.
Chu Nanzhi casually tidied up the tea leaves on the table, pretended to be heartless and shook his head with a smile: "It seems that suicide in prison is very popular recently, first Liu Xianwei, Ximen Taoist, and then Yu Shi, this The distance between them is only half a moon."
"Cough, these are accidental incidents."
Hu Maoxi smiled awkwardly with a stiff face, pretending to be calm, and his heart was full of anger.
He could figure out Yu Shi committing suicide, but he really couldn't figure out who could play tricks under his nose about the matter between Liu Ping and Taoist Ximen.
Chu Nanzhi saw the embarrassment on his face, and intentionally made the following words shocking:
"I've seen that old lady of the Wei family. Although she is poor, she also has the character of a scholar. I'm afraid she is a soft-hearted person. Earlier, he was desperate and willing to bow his head and confess his guilt. But the county the day before yesterday Your Excellency has personally promised to retry the case, and now it may not be easy to get him to confess again, if he fights your Excellency with death, how can he make a difference?"
Her gaze wandered calmly over the stunned officials, and a silky evil smile could not help but appear on the corner of her mouth:
"Not to mention that many people in the county now know that there is something wrong with this case. The second mother of the Wei family, the little lady Xiaofen next to Shen Yang, and even my Chu family, as well as the entire county government, if they don't thoroughly investigate Clearly, it is difficult to convince the public, and it will damage the authority of the adults."
After listening to her words thoroughly, Hu Maoxi broke out in a cold sweat, and sat down on the chair with his whole body limp.
Seeing this, the little Sibao Lin Ruijia walked up to him, begging pitifully:
"Grandpa county magistrate, my aunt said you are the best, so you can help sister Wei, she is really pitiful, she only has brother Wei, who hit me with her head yesterday Grandma's house is closed."
Hearing that Sibao pleaded for several criminals, Hu Maoxi bit his lips tightly, pressing his hands on his desk in embarrassment.
Seeing this scene, Erbao Lin Ruixi went directly to him and knelt down, tearfully tearing at the hem of his clothes, and said delicately:
"Grandpa County Magistrate, the elder brother of the Shen family is so pitiful without his mother. He is being bullied by bad guys every day. Grandpa County Magistrate also has babies. If they lose their mother, Grandpa County Magistrate definitely doesn't want them to be bullied. Grandpa County Magistrate Just help the elder brother of the Shen family."
"Big brother of the Shen family?"
Hu Maoxi looked at Er Bao inexplicably.
But before the words came out, Xiaofen cried and knelt over:
"I beg the county magistrate to make the decision for my young lady. She was wronged. My young gentleman is really pitiful. Since my young lady was imprisoned, he hasn't eaten properly for several days. If this continues, he will surely die."
"Hey, hey, all of you"
Hu Maoxi frowned like an unbaked zongzi, and pointed at the people in front of him, big and small, who were about to complain from embarrassment.
"嘤嘤咱"
Er Bao and Si Bao were frightened by his sudden face change, and immediately burst into tears, crying like pear blossoms raining on each other.
Hu Maoxi had no choice, so he hurried to comfort the little ones in a warm voice: "Okay, okay, you two little treasures, stop crying, Grandpa Hu, ah bah, Uncle Hu promised to help your mother, help your Wei family sister and Brother Shen."
"real?"
The two little guys raised their heads and asked him while wiping their tears.
With a stiff face, Hu Maoxi replied helplessly: "That's not true. Now that Uncle Hu even entrusted his life to you two brats, how could he lie to you?"
Hearing this, Erbao and Sibao immediately stopped crying and laughed happily.
A sly look flashed across Hu Maoxi's eyebrows, and he took the opportunity to demand: "But you two little devils have to agree to Uncle Hu, and you are not allowed to call me grandpa in the future."
"Okay, Grandpa Hu."
After the two little treasures finished speaking, they got up smiling and rushed to Chu Nanzhi.
Hu Maoxi was so angry that he scratched his head and scratched his head, and finally had to compromise, looked at Chu Nanzhi calmly, and asked with a serious face: "Miss Chu, tell me, how can I help you?"
Chu Nanzhi didn't expect to rely on these two little ones at the critical moment, she smiled gratefully at the second and fourth treasures, then looked at Hu Maoxi, and answered bluntly:
"It is necessary for the magistrate to buy as much time as possible for the women tomorrow. Please also ask the magistrate to take all the servants of the county government to go to Nanhua Temple in the name of searching for evidence and arresting suspects tomorrow."
"This?"
Hu Maoxi frowned and stared blankly: "Will the commotion be too loud?"
Sun Xiancheng also asked worriedly at the side at this time: "Could it be that Mrs. Chu has already found out the suspicious person?"
Chu Nanzhi smiled warmly: "Everything has its source. Since the tea leaves come from the Nanhua Temple, the answer must lie in the temple."
She firmly believes that no matter how difficult the case is, as long as someone commits the crime, there will be clues left, and these poisonous tea leaves will not go to Shen Yang's courtyard for no reason.
Since there are no flaws in all links, the problem can only be at the source of tea picking.
And Nanhua Temple is a heavily guarded place, such a big fanfare to search for evidence may not necessarily get what you want, the best and most reliable way is to distract everyone's attention, and then look for clues alone.
Although Hu Maoxi had agreed to her request, he still felt guilty.
After all, this woman did not give herself a reliable guarantee.
His sly eyes seemed to be stained with thick frost, and for a moment he stared quietly at Chu Nanzhi with a frown, and said worriedly:
"Miss Chu, this time I bet all of my wealth and life on you alone, so don't let me down."
Somehow, through the previous cases, he has subtly developed a kind of trust in this woman.
The tax and bank case, the hidden corpse case in the Zhao Mansion, whichever case is not bizarre, was easily found out under her hands, so just after saying these words, he gradually developed a lot of confidence in his heart .
Although Chu Nanzhi wanted to trick him once, she didn't want to hurt him. Seeing his gloomy face, she quickly comforted him and said, "Please rest assured, the women only need to figure out one thing now. This case can be easily solved."
"Okay, I believe in my own vision."
This time, Hu Maoxi answered decisively.
Seeing him being so forthright, Chu Nanzhi couldn't help feeling a little moved.
She has a completely different temperament from this person, but it is not easy to maintain a tacit understanding at critical moments.
It seems that my journey through time is not too sad.
After Hu Maoxi was settled, she looked at Xiaofen at the side with gentle eyes, and solemnly told Hu Maoxi: "This little lady Xiaofen is currently the key witness to turn the case around, so I'd like to ask the magistrate to arrange it for you." , don’t make any mistakes, and ask her to go to the humble house with the two guard brothers tomorrow to accompany the women.”
Hu Maoxi half-closed his eyes, glanced at the little maid, and nodded thoughtfully: "Don't worry, no one in this county government would dare to embarrass her."
"So the women can rest assured."
Chu Nanzhi looked at the several people with warm eyes, but there was a hint of worry in her eyes.
The maid Xiaofen left the mansion today, Han Shi probably didn't expect to be bumped into by herself, after hearing so much from her today, Chu Nanzhi suddenly became worried about the safety of the little maid, she was really afraid that another innocent life would be added.
No matter what the outcome of the case is, and whether the Han family is related to the case, she hopes that it's just that she has too many worries.
