Husband has a sweetheart

Chapter 30 Release
The urn held by the big man had a very small opening. After it was dumped, a thin stream of water poured on the shiny steel knife from the front of the steel knife like a cow's hair.

The moment the clear water touched the steel knife, the steel knife, which was shining with cold light, instantly turned blood red.

There was an uproar inside and outside the lobby.

Lu Wei suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately looked at Zhang Yuqing. Compared with everyone who was so shocked and turned pale, her sly smile hidden under the round fan was very different, as if everything was in her expectation .

Subconsciously, he understood that this matter must have been planned by Zhang Yuqing.

"It's turning red! It's turning red!"

"Really! It's true!"

"It's really Lord Yan who gave him the magic water to help him avenge his grievances!"

However, as the water in the urn moved along the blade to the handle, there was still more than half a foot away from the handle, but the blade no longer turned red and remained the original color.

The water flowed over the handle of the knife, but there was no change in the slightest.

The steel knife, which was originally nothing special, turned into a blood-red lower half, and a bright upper half, with clear boundaries under the eyes of everyone.

Fang Mo's tone of breath when he left the execution ground was finally relieved, tears fell down, and he cried bitterly, "My lord, my brother is wronged! You are wronged!"

Zhang Yuqing let out a long sigh, the bet won!

As early as when the blade turned red, Wu Zuo fell to the ground in fright, and he didn't even have the strength to stand up, as if the real Lord Hades came out of the ground and asked him for his life.

Brother Fang Mo's eyes were also red, and they shouted outside: "Return his innocence! Restore his innocence!"

"Officials can't ignore human lives!"

"The life of the common people is not their life!"

The presiding judge kept patting the gavel, but still couldn't calm the earth-shattering shouts of the people outside. The officials of Jingzhao Mansion held sticks and guarded the door. If there was any slack, the angry people would rush into the court.

"Take him down!" the chief judge pointed at Wu Zuo and shouted, "and the witnesses of this case, bring them from home!"

Kou Leguo said: "My lord, when the witnesses in this case knew that they would be remanded for retrial, they had already left the capital!"

The presiding judge was furious, "Is there such a thing?"

"Exactly!"

The others ran away, leaving Wu Zuo alone. The presiding officer threw down a warrant and shouted at Wu Zuo: "Are you recruiting or not? If you don't recruit, you will eat twenty killing sticks first!"

At this point, Wu Zuo sat paralyzed on the ground, knowing that the situation was over, he shouted in cold sweat: "My lord, I, I only received ten taels of silver! Master Liu asked me to do this! I don't do what he said If I do, he will drive me out of the yamen!"

He Qi's blind old lady was weeping uncontrollably.

Tens of thousands of excited and angry people shouted, asking the government to give them justice.

When Zhang Yuqing heard this, she knew that the matter had been settled.

"Let's go." Zhang Yuqing said.

When Luo Danxia saw the excitement, she reluctantly said: "Let's go now? Haven't seen the result yet!"

"The result won't change." Zhang Yuqing smiled slightly.

Luo Danyang nodded and said, "Let's go."

When the verdict comes down, maybe the people will be even more excited. When the time comes, there will be crowds, and there will inevitably be problems.

Several people left quietly.

When Lu Wei went to see Zhang Yuqing again, he only saw the back of Luo Danyang protecting her and leaving from the crowd.The seat vacated by Zhang Yuqing and others was immediately occupied by excited people.

The fact that Wu Zuo and witnesses falsely wronged He Qi has come to light, and it is a certainty.In order to appease the anger of the public, and fearing that the crowd would gather to make trouble and storm the court, the presiding judge acquitted He Qi and Fang Mo first, and ordered the yamen servants to remove their wooden shackles.

Fang Qin didn't know how to describe his excitement at this time, so he finally breathed a sigh of relief for Fang Mo, and said with a smile: "Fang Mo, this kid really impresses me, I didn't expect to have such a smart brain! I must ask him later. How did he get the blood on the knife!"

At this time, the Luo family's ox cart had already reached another street.

The people in the capital probably all went to the gate of the yamen to watch the excitement, the streets were sparsely populated, and there were not many people.

Luo Danxia also asked Zhang Yuqing excitedly, "Tell me quickly, how did you make the blood stains appear on the knife? God! It's amazing! Is it really Lord Yama's manifestation?"

"That's right, Lord Yama has appeared!" Zhang Yuqing said with a smile.

Luo Danxia grabbed Zhang Yuqing's arm and acted like a baby, "My good sister, just tell me! I'm so curious!"

"This is actually very simple. I asked someone to go to the warehouse of the yamen in advance, and smeared a layer of turmeric on the lower body of the steel knife. The water in the urn seemed to be clear water, but it was actually alkaline water soaked in plant ash. When the turmeric met alkaline water, it would It will turn bright red, and it will look like blood stains reappear." Zhang Yuqing explained.

The turmeric was applied by asking Kou Leguo to sneak into the storeroom to apply it. The lye was the plant ash that Brother Fang Mo had burned all afternoon, soaked overnight, and then filtered it out with a fine cotton cloth.

Luo Danyang suddenly realized, "It's a scam!"

"Actually, the military is in danger, and there is no way out." Zhang Yuqing said with a smile, pinning a strand of hair from her sideburns behind her ears, "Fortunately, everything went well."

Luo Danyang exclaimed: "It's your idea to publicize He Qi's injustice to all the people in the capital, and to add the theory of ghosts and gods to attract the whole city to watch, isn't it?"

"Use our strength to make the Yamen attach importance to this case, and let the judges lean towards He Qi, and dare not judge the gourd case again. Officials are not afraid of ignoring human lives, and they are not afraid of creating unjust cases. What they are afraid of is that the people will twist into one Doubt them, resist them!" Zhang Yuqing said, and then thought that her cousin was already a Juren, and he was destined to be an official in the future.

Zhang Yuqing said embarrassingly: "Cousin, I made a slip of the tongue, you and uncle must not be such people."

Luo Danyang laughed, looking at the blushing Zhang Yuqing, he thought she was very cute.When he was helping senior brother He Qi before, he was calm and wise, designed one after another, meticulous in thinking, and thoughtful, and now he blushed, showing a bit of the innocence and delicacy of a girl of this age.

"Thanks to Yuqing's trust, if I become an official in the future, I will definitely not be the gourd monk who judged the gourd case!" Luo Dan raised his fists and said solemnly.

Luo Danxia said seriously: "Brother, I just realized now that some people have lived so hard. When you become an official in the future, you must treat the common people better! When I return to Wuyue, I will say the same to my father!"

"It should be better for the people." Luo Danyang sighed, and the youthful youth's eyes were filled with worry, "We must satisfy the appetite of those corrupt officials, and we must pay tribute to the Hu tribe. The common people are struggling to starve to death every year. , how can it not be bitter?"

It was getting late, Zhang Yuqing watched the trial all morning, she was very nervous and alert, and she was tired at the moment, and Wang Chunniang took care of the old lady of the He family for too many days, so she needed to go back and take a rest, so she declined the Luo family brothers and sisters to take Her proposal to go to Luo's house as a guest.

After sending Zhang Yuqing back to Zhang's house, Luo Danyang took his sister to his house.

Without her cousin present, Luo Danxia let go completely, her eyes were filled with admiration for Zhang Yuqing, "Cousin Yuqing is so smart! I will try turmeric later! Keep my mother scared!"

Luo Danyang also admired it very much, "Saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda."

Cousin Yuqing is not only smart and kind, but she doesn't ask for anything in return. If she wanted to hear He Qi being grateful, she could just wait there for a while until He Qi came out, but when she knew that He Qi would be acquitted, she immediately turned around and left .

Such a quality of gold makes him admirable.

Luo Danxia looked at Luo Danyang's eyes that lit up when Zhang Yuqing was mentioned, and covered her mouth and smiled secretly.

When Luo Danyang returned home, when he passed Mrs. Luo's room, Mrs. Luo was talking to the daughter-in-law in charge, with a very worried tone.

"...This child is smart, so I can understand that the two Zhuangzi have been in the hands of Mrs. Zhang's family for many years, and they have paid a lot of rent to the Zhang family every year. With Mrs. Zhang's virtue, it is absolutely impossible to return Zhuangzi to her easily. Mrs. Luo sighed, "Although I sincerely want to help her, I don't know what to do with this matter! My mother is gone, and I'm just her mother's aunt. My surname is Huang, and my husband's surname is Luo. The surname is An, I can go to Zhang's house to find out for her, and ask for what is due to her!"

The daughter-in-law in charge also sighed. In the catastrophe in the capital 13 years ago, all the people in the An family died. If only one person remained, it would not be where it is today.

Luo Danyang listened outside the window, remembering that bright and pleasant smile, couldn't help but clenched his palms.

"She said that she wanted to go to Qingzhou to find friends. I felt very sad when I heard it. It's really pitiful!" Mrs. Luo said again, "If it weren't for the Zhang family, she couldn't stay any longer. She is a delicate little girl, why would she want to go to a place thousands of miles away?" Besides, Qingzhou, which is also a bandit and a refugee, has defected to a childhood friend!"

Mrs. Luo couldn't help wiping away her tears, "My cousin was also a good girl, gentle and kind, if she knew that her only flesh and blood has reached the point where she is today, how can she rest in peace!"

The daughter-in-law in charge said, "It's a trivial matter for me to look at Zhuangzi. Miss Yuqing is not young, is she? The Zhang family doesn't care about her, so maybe they just sent her off to marry someone else."

"Yes, yes!" Mrs. Luo became anxious, "This is the most terrible thing! I heard from Miss Wang that Mrs. Zhang still wants to give her to the servant of the official department as a concubine. I know that the servant of the official department is almost sixty , isn’t this a crime!”

Hearing this, Luo Danyang was shocked, and his anger rushed to the top of his head. He was so burned that he wanted to go to Zhang's house to ask why they were so vicious, and why such a good girl like Yuqing was trampled by them!
Thinking that Zhang Yuqing, who is so smart and kind, will be sent by the Zhang family to be a concubine for an old man who is about to enter the earth, no one will appreciate her intelligence, and even her life may be quietly buried in a certain old man's back house, Luo Dan Yang I can't stand it any longer.

Luo Danyang took a deep breath, opened the curtain and entered the room, calling: "Mother!"

Mrs. Luo looked at Luo Danyang and asked, "What's the matter?"

Luo Danyang said to the daughter-in-law in charge: "You go out first, I have something to tell my mother."
