Feng Qing Shaoyi

Chapter 104
After everyone saw it, they all said: "It turns out that Mrs. Cao was poisoned to death by cinnabar. The cinnabar in the bag is probably the hands of the Fang family. This death is really wronged."

The steward of the Fang family looked at the extremely dazzling red cinnabar on the ground, and was also a little dazed. He didn't expect that Cao Wanzu really had evidence.Where does this evidence come from?But why does this look so familiar?It seems that it really belongs to Fang's family.

"I have nothing to say now, it was your Fang family who killed my wife. Your Fang family quickly hand over the murderer to me and give the Cao family justice, or I will go in and ask for someone directly." Cao Wanzu villain Said triumphantly.

The steward of the Fang family hurriedly asked a servant to go in to inform Su Wanqing that Cao Wanzu could not be allowed to come directly into the Fang family.Not to mention how the Fang family's things will be destroyed by Cao Wanzu, but going in to search for people will damage the Fang family's face. At that time, everyone in the capital will be laughing at the Fang family's voice, and the Fang family really can't afford to lose this person.

Fang Yunni was persuaded by Su Wanqing to stop crying just now, her eyes were red and swollen, "Wanqing, then you must promise me to take good care of yourself, and you can't give up just because you are seriously ill. Shuoming and I are waiting for you."

"Okay, I will take good care of myself." Su Wanqing comforted Fang Yunni's hand, "Now you can rest assured."

"Yes." Fang Yunni bowed her head in response.

"It's not too late to wake up. You are already married and crying like a child. Shuoming has never cried like this before. If Shuoming sees this, maybe he will laugh at you." Su Wanqing joked with a smile.

"Wan Qing, you always make fun of me like this." Fang Yunni smiled and wiped away her tears, and sat aside.

Then came the sound of hurried footsteps from a distance, along with anxious words. "Ma'am, it's too bad, the Cao family is here to make trouble. It is said that Mrs. Cao's wife was murdered by the Fang family. Now let the Fang family hand over the murderer, or they will come in and search for people."

"What? The murderer is really in the Fang family. How could it be? Why did the Fang family want to kill Mrs. Cao's family? Who would believe such unfounded things." Fang Yunni was surprised.

Su Wanqing was also a little surprised. She didn't expect that the murderer was really in Fang's house, but who was the murderer?
"This villain doesn't know either. Mr. Cao has produced evidence that Mrs. Cao was poisoned to death by cinnabar." The servant said without tears.

"Cinnabar? Where did Fang's family get cinnabar? This is clearly a bloody spout, deceiving people too much." Fang Yunni shouted immediately.

Su Wanqing lowered her head solemnly, then stood up and ordered: "You go and stabilize Mr. Cao first, and say that since the murderer is in the Fang family, the Fang family will definitely give the Cao family an explanation, and the noble lady will not die in vain."

"Yes, madam." The servant replied.

Outside the door, Cao Wanzu held his head proudly, put his hips on his hips and said, "What? Your Fang family still don't plan to hand over the murderer, do you?"

"Master Cao, don't worry, we have already notified Madam. Madam is also looking for the murderer. Master Cao only needs to wait for a while, and the Fang family will give the Cao family a satisfactory answer." The housekeeper of the Fang family looked at the cinnabar on the ground and wiped Said in a cold sweat.

"Will the murderer be handed over? Well, as long as the murderer can be handed over, it doesn't matter if I wait for a while. But if I don't hand over the murderer later, I will take my brothers in to search for people. If caught If you shouldn't be caught, then you can't blame us." Cao Wanzu glanced at the younger brothers behind him and said with a sinister smile.

"Yes, Master Cao, please wait patiently. The Fang family will hand over the murderer soon. You guys still invite me here. If you are tired from standing, drink some tea to moisten your throat." A far-fetched laugh.

The Fang family has a small guest room for resting on the side of the entrance. Although it is a bit small, it is better than that it is fully furnished and exquisite.

Who knows who the murderer is, now I can only let my wife figure out a solution, and the time can't be too long.What can a female family member do? It's better to please Cao Wanzu, it's really embarrassing.

"Okay, we are indeed a little tired from standing, brothers, let's go in and drink tea and wait slowly." Cao Wanzu said arrogantly, and walked into the small guest room with his concubine brother.

At this time, in a courtyard of the Fang Mansion, Pan Shi was inserting a hairpin of delicate color on his head, which matched his already wrinkled face and made him look awkward, and the inappropriate light blue dress on his body was abnormal. dazzling.

"How is it? Does Su Wanqing look good in it?" Pan said while sitting in front of the bronze mirror, stroking her hair bun.

The maid next to her looked at each other, not knowing what to say, and finally one of them boldly said: "The old lady has a unique charm, so naturally she looks pretty in everything she wears. Although she is not as dignified and beautiful as the lady, she still has her own demeanor. "

"What does it mean that I am not as dignified and beautiful as her? If you are not good-looking, you are not good-looking. It sounds nice. What else does she have besides being younger and more beautiful than me? No matter how good her reputation was before, why didn't she marry into our Fang family as my daughter?" Daughter-in-law." Pan said with a sneer, "She thinks she doesn't think much of me after studying for a few years, and all of you are eager to get in front of her, even learning to turn the corner when you speak."

The maidservants hurriedly lowered their heads and remained silent, for fear of making Mrs. Pan unhappy and being beaten.

Seeing that the maids were silent, Pan also took off the clothes on her body, and said angrily: "What taste, this light-colored dress is so ugly. She doesn't look very good-looking in this dress, it's not as good as mine." That bright-colored long dress is pretty." As she spoke, she looked at the maidservants.

Seeing that the maids kept staring at her without speaking, they said angrily, "What are you looking at? Why don't you quickly turn out those long skirts of my old lady." Then she pulled out the hairpin from her head and threw it on the table , "And this hairpin, what the hell, only Su Wanqing can wear this kind of thing."

"Yes, old lady."

Several servant girls hurriedly turned out the long skirt and put it on Pan's body, and another maid combed Pan's hair and selected hair accessories.

"Don't pick such old-fashioned ones, they look as old as my old lady. I don't know what the old ladies in the capital eat to grow up. They are obviously the same age, but they look like women in their twenties. Skin They are so tender that water can be squeezed out. Standing with their daughter-in-law, they don't look like mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, but like sisters." Pan said to the little maid who was picking out hair accessories.

As soon as I changed my clothes and took care of myself, I heard the noise outside, so I frowned and said, "Go and ask what's going on? We started yelling early in the morning, and we don't know what others will think of us. Home."

"Yes." A little maid went out to ask, and soon came back in a hurry, shouting in surprise: "Madam, it's not good. The Cao family came to let us hand over the murderer, and they arrived early in the morning." There was trouble at the door, and I haven't left yet."

The servant girl yelled so loudly that Pan Shi staggered in fright, "I'm going to die, what are you doing so loudly, what is the Cao family? Do we know each other?"

"Old lady, you forgot that Mrs. Cao's family came to see you once, and you had a fight at that time." The servant girl explained.

"Mrs. Cao's family? I remember this. Isn't it that Chen Shu who came to Fang's house half a year ago to show off her power to me. I don't know what she is doing?" Pan said disdainfully.

"The lady of the Cao family died a few days ago. Master Cao insisted on saying that the murderer was in the Fang family. If the Fang family doesn't hand over the murderer, they will come in and search for someone."

"Chen Shu is dead?" Pan was stunned, but immediately realized, "What does her death have to do with our Fang family? Why did the Cao family come to the Fang family to seek justice?"

"I don't know, but Mr. Cao has produced evidence, saying that Mrs. Cao died of cinnabar poison in Fang's house." The little girl was about to cry out of anxiety.

"So what if you show the evidence? Who knows if he just took it by himself, how can you believe it." Pan snorted coldly, and then seemed to react, "You mean that Chen Shu was poisoned to death by cinnabar ?”

"Yes, Madam is already investigating who that cinnabar belongs to."

"He was poisoned by cinnabar, how could this be possible? I didn't..." Even though Pan's brain is usually useless, now he knows that something big happened, and that the murderer is himself.

But how can this let people know that she doesn't want to go to the cell.

"You all go out, and no one is allowed to come in without my order." Pan swallowed in a panic, and then showed the majesty of her old lady to order and threaten, but her voice was trembling, and she held the hand on the table. He couldn't help trembling, "If anyone dares to disobey, this old lady will kill her." When he said this, the fear and trembling in his tone was even worse.

The maids didn't want to cause trouble, so they left obediently.

Cao Wanzu in the small guest room got impatient, frowned and shouted loudly: "Why hasn't the Fang family handed over the murderer? Are you planning to escape?"

Although Cao Wanzu's mind is not very bright, he also thought of something at this time.

"How could this happen?" The butler who was waiting on the side wiped off his cold sweat, "Madam is already investigating the murderer, and we will find the murderer soon, please wait a moment, Mr. Cao. If you think the tea is cold, Xiao Someone will bring you another pot."

"Bah, old man, are you playing us on purpose?" One of Cao Wanzu's concubine brothers with sharp mouth and monkey cheeks threw the tea on the ground with one hand and said viciously.

"Don't think that our Cao family is easy to bully, and we will be dismissed after a few cups of tea. Brothers, let's go out and say, cannibals are short-mouthed and soft, and we have to give the Fang family some good looks here. Our sister-in-law is dead. Injustice." Another chubby younger brother followed up.

"No, gentlemen, our wife is already thinking of a way, and we will be able to..."

"We can do something right away. We should have waited for a long time. Why didn't we even see a shadow of the murderer. Brothers, let's go out and let the big guys come to judge." Another younger brother said.

"Several masters, listen to the villain..."

The masters of the Cao family ignored the obstruction of the housekeeper of the Fang family and walked out the door, and shouted at the common people who watched the fun: "Big fellows, let's all talk about it. It is only right and proper to kill and pay for life. The Fang family killed our Cao family." One life, they should pay us a life. Our Cao family is willing to wait for the Fang family to hand over the murderer. Do you want to break in and bring the murderer to justice?"

The so-called watching the excitement is not a big deal, and a group of people began to discuss it in a hurry.

"The Cao family has been waiting for such a long time. If the Fang family still hasn't handed over the murderer, they won't really cover it up as Master Cao said."

"Hey, this Fang family seems to be a hairpin family. How can they be so unkind? They even cover up the murderer. If you killed Mrs. Cao's family today, will you kill us tomorrow? No way."

"Whether the Fang family intends to cover up or not, just go in and search for people."

When everyone in the Cao family heard the words of the common people, they all proudly looked at the magnificent vermilion gate of the Fang family.

The housekeeper of the Fang family panicked completely, and the three of them became tigers. The Fang family was branded as a criminal who deliberately shielded the criminal without saying anything.

The common people are the most vulnerable to instigation. If there is any rumor, they will think it is right, and then start yelling recklessly like an outsider.Little do they know that the demise of a flower is the inescapable responsibility of every drop of rain.

"Look, everyone has said that, so we are settled in the Fang family." Cao Wanzu said and brought everyone in the Cao family into Fang's mansion.

"Masters, please wait a little longer, the murderer will be murdered immediately..." The housekeeper naturally blocked the door of Fang's house.

"Stay out of the way, old man." The man with the sharp mouth and monkey cheeks pushed the butler away, and the Fang family's butler was too old to withstand the pushing and pushing, so he was pushed to the ground all at once.

At this time, in the private room of the tea house not far from Fang's house, several people were watching all this.

The boy in purple was sitting at the tea table by the window, drinking tea quietly as if everything outside had nothing to do with him.The man in white sat across from him and was looking at everything outside excitedly, while a young boy was lying on the window sill and frowning watching all this.

"Oh, I really don't know what these people think? After being provoked by the Cao family with a few words, they believed the words of the Cao family. It never occurred to me that if the Cao family really wanted to find the murderer, they would not come to ask for justice in person but to the Ministry of Criminal Justice. I need help." Yi Xingke said with a sigh.

If the Cao family really wanted to find the murderer, they wouldn't wait. It was obvious that they had other plans.Such a simple truth, he can understand it as a child, why don't these ordinary people understand it?

"That's why they are stupid." The boy in purple said suddenly.

"Haha, Yelan, what you said is not wrong at all." Meng Yanxi laughed loudly, "But the Cao family is confident because Fang Jingzi is not in the capital, and there is no man who can take charge of the Fang family. Don’t dare to come. The Cao family is really not a thing, bullying weak women and children, taking advantage of the fire to rob them, they did it very smoothly.”

"It's just pity for the Fang family. Without Fang Jingzi, it becomes meat on the chopping board. Anyone can take a bite. I don't know if the Fang family will escape this catastrophe?" Yi Xingke said, holding his chin.

Que Yu just looked at everything below, and after a long time he calmly said, "Someone will come to help the Fang family, but the Fang family will also pay a price for it, an irreparable price."

"Hey, someone is really here." Yi Xingke suddenly shouted excitedly.

"Really? Let me take a look." Meng Yanxi got up and lay down on the window sill like Yi Xingke, watching what happened below.

At the entrance of Fang's house, a handsome man with an indecent smile stood in front of everyone in the Cao family and helped the butler of Fang's house with one hand.

"Lord Chu." The housekeeper of the Fang family said in a daze.

Everyone in the Cao family was also a little surprised, Cao Wanzu asked, "I don't know what Master Chu is talking about here?"

"Oh, it's nothing. It's just that I've been too busy recently, and I came and went in a hurry. I felt dry and so I came to the Fang's house to ask for a cup of tea. But what's going on with Mr. Cao? When can criminals be arrested beyond the Criminal Department Already?" After the butler stood firm, Chu Kainan let go of Fang's butler's hand and said while staring at the Cao family in front of him.

"Your Excellency Chu clearly learned that the Ministry of Punishment must come to catch the prisoner. But the lower official lost his beloved wife, and he knew that the person who killed his beloved wife was in Fang's house, so he came to arrest the prisoner." Cao Wanzu said with a heartbroken expression.

"Oh? How did Mr. Cao know that the prisoner was in Fang's house? Where did Mr. Cao hear about this groundless thing?" Chu Kainan asked with a nonchalant smile.

"The lower official is..." Cao Wanzu was speechless for a moment, but then he laughed eccentrically, "Master Chu, don't fool the lower official. Is this groundless? The fact that the murderer is in Fang's house must be It has already been spread in the Ministry of Punishment. The lower officials just follow the rules of heaven and do what the lower officials should do."

"Master Cao, do you mean that I deliberately concealed the facts?" Chu Kainan stared at Cao Wanzu and smiled.

Isn't that what it is?But thinking of Chu Kainan's terrifying reputation in the Ministry of Criminal Justice, he swallowed and said, "I don't mean that. Everyone knows that Master Chu in the Ministry of Criminal Justice is the most impartial. How could he hide the truth?" Cao Wanzu smiled strangely, " But the Ministry of Punishment knows that this matter is also a fact, the lower official is just afraid that the court will blame him, it would be a pity if someone as talented as Master Chu is ruined by this matter, and the lower official came here this time for the good of Master Chu."

"Heh, it's true that scholars treat each other with admiration for three days. Master Cao is also more articulate after the death of your lady." Chu Kainan smiled and said, "I always act impartially. Since the murderer is in Fang's house, There is nothing wrong with the Cao family coming here to find the murderer."

"Where? Since Mr. Chu has said so, then you will not be polite." Cao Wanzu said and wanted to bring a few younger brothers in, but was stopped by Chu Kainan.

"Master Cao, don't worry. Although the Cao family should come here to arrest the murderer, it is still the Ministry of Criminal Affairs' business. Master Cao's work beyond the Ministry of Criminal Affairs will eventually attract criticism, so it is better for the Ministry of Criminal Justice to arrest the murderer." Chu Kainan Looking at Cao Wanzu who had a slightly ugly face, he said.

"...Then it will be hard for Mr. Chu." Cao Wanzu gritted his teeth and said.

"Where? This is what I should do." Chu Kainan walked up to the officers and soldiers he brought, and was about to send someone to arrest them. At the same time, he whispered: "Go to the Ministry of War and ask Mr. Qi Shilang to come here." .”

He represents the Ministry of Punishment and cannot blatantly take sides, but Qi Ze can.
