my wife is wonderful

Chapter 171 Mother Tan is gone

"Could it be that those two people have some other origins?"

Zhu Yan held her chin up and frowned.

If they were just ordinary street gangsters, let alone being sentenced to death, the magistrate would scare them to pieces with a few slaps on the wall, and all the things in their brains would come out.

Geng Xingshuang looked at Wu Juan, and Wu Juan said: "I checked those two people. Ge Datian is already married and has children, and I have my mother at home, but Wu Hong is alone. I heard that he had practiced martial arts in a martial arts school before. However, because I had a bad temper, I couldn't get along with other people in the martial arts gym, and I even molested the maid next to the owner of the martial arts gym, so I was kicked out. I also worked a few jobs, but they didn't last long, so I just kept hanging around. .”

In other words, these two people do not have a family relationship on the surface, and they have no special origins.

"The fact that they didn't say anything can only mean that the person behind it has promised them great benefits."

Geng Xingshuang felt that if he could not be found out this time, it would be more difficult to get anything from them in the future. After all, Tao Yuyu and Tao Yunian were still alive, and Tao Yuyu had not yet been insulted. Such a crime was the worst in Daning. He will be locked up for a period of time, and then he will be released after hitting a few dozen boards.

Therefore, for the benefit of the people behind them, they will most likely continue to carry on.

As for the two people Tao Yuyu sued who were ordered to kill their siblings, even if Mr. Chao, the magistrate of Ningfeng County, is an upright official, he cannot be prosecuted because of such an accusation without any physical evidence. Keep spending it.

Jiang Xuefu rolled her eyes, looked at the clear sky outside the window, and said in a low voice: "The reason those two villains dared to keep refusing to tell the truth is because they knew that even if the Yamen tortured them, there was a bottom line. It will neither cause disability nor harm lives. In this case, it is better to let Miss Tao withdraw the complaint and let them come out."

As soon as Jiang Xuefu said this, Zhu Yan Fuzhang agreed, "That's right. For such a dirty person, if you can't use fair and honest methods, you can only use some underhanded tactics."

"Sister Shuang, what do you think?"

"I have to ask Xiaoyu about this matter, but one thing is that we cannot let them lose their lives."

If someone dies, even if no traces are left, the government still needs to investigate for a while.

"I'll go myself..."

"I'll let Zhuqing do it..."

Jiang Xuefu and Zhu Yan spoke almost at the same time.

Geng Xingshuang and Zhu Yan looked at Jiang Xuefu at the same time. She looked eager to try. The maid behind her kept poking her shoulder lightly, obviously to remind her not to get carried away and not do anything inappropriate, but Jiang Xuefu didn't even turn her head, she just shook her shoulders.

"Let's discuss this matter again and ask Xiaoyu for her opinion after she comes out."

After coming out of the Yamen, Tao Yuyu had a look of obvious disappointment on his face, Tao Yunian had a look of indignation, and Tao Rong, who had been watching the interrogation from beginning to end outside the Yamen, sighed one after another. , he wanted to say something, but looked at his children, opened his mouth, swallowed what was in his heart, and sighed again.

"Xiaoyu, we just discussed a solution. Come and listen to it, and An Nian will also listen to it."

Zhu Yan pulled the Tao siblings into the house and left Tao Rong outside.

Suddenly, only Tao Rong and a few maids were left outside the house. This was the small courtyard where the Yuan'an Escort Bureau placed the Tao family. Speaking of it, it was much better than the shabby courtyard where they lived. You could often hear humming and haha ​​from outside. The sound of martial arts practice really makes people feel safer.

But... no matter how nice this place is, it's not home, it's someone else's place. Living here always makes people feel uneasy.

Tie Zhui stamped her feet anxiously outside, fearing that her girl had always insisted on dealing with the two thugs by herself, and how she would explain to the madam when she returned.

"Don't worry, my girl and Miss Zhu won't let Miss Jiang go there in person." Jinbao comforted her.

In the room, the Tao brothers and sisters listened to Zhu Yan's suggestion. Tao Yuyu was still a little hesitant, but Tao Yunian's eyes were bright and he said to Tao Yuyu: "Sister, even if we don't agree, it won't be long before those two people will." Being released."

"Okay, I'll go to the Yamen to withdraw the complaint."

Although the complaint was prepared to be withdrawn, it was not withdrawn immediately. The trial had just ended today, and everyone had discussed preparing to go back in three days.

Just two days later, Geng Xingshuang was painting in the room when he received the news from Jiang Xuefu that Ge Datian in the Ningfeng County Yamen Prison was dead. "How did you die?" Geng Xingshuang felt a bad feeling in her heart. It seemed that the matter was completely beyond their imagination.

"My eldest brother found out that he died of illness. The weather suddenly got cold these past two days. Several prisoners in the county jail were sick. Ge Datian was also sick with high fever. The county government also invited doctors to treat those prisoners. Ge Datian Ohta and another prisoner didn’t make it.”

Jiang Xuefu also looked very unhappy.

Zhu Yan also received the news, and she rushed over with her Tao siblings.

"This matter shouldn't be that simple." Zhu Yan frowned.

There was an unprecedented look of panic in Tao Yuyu's eyes, "I never thought that I was a lady from the uncle's house or the Duke's house. Why can't they let me go!"

At this moment, she was a little hysterical.

Geng Xingshuang has also been a little worried about this incident recently. She looked at Zhu Yan and said with a wry smile: "Originally, I thought that if we found out the truth and then told the elders of our two families, the matter would be solved, but now it seems , I am too confident.”

Zhu Yan looked at Geng Xingshuang, who had been friends with her for many years. Why didn't she understand what she meant? She also smiled bitterly and said: "My eldest brother noticed that I always ran away during this period. Yesterday, he asked me if something was wrong? I didn't want to do it at first. Tell him, but now it seems that I have to say it.”

The reason Zhu Yan didn't want to talk about it was not because she wanted to be brave and had to find out by herself, but because her eldest brother was very busy and stayed in the palace all year round. As the emperor's trusted imperial guard, he was not allowed to be distracted when on duty, so she didn't want to take these things. Don't bother him.

As for his father, as the north wind began to howl and the Northern Yaomu was about to move, her father, as the left minister of the Ministry of War, not only went out early and came back late, but also often stayed overnight at the Yamen of the Ministry of War.

So it was hard for her to tell him these things that had no evidence yet. As for her mother, she had never had a good relationship with her second aunt. She didn't want to get involved in the second wife's affairs, and she naturally didn't want to embarrass her mother.

"When my elder brother comes back from the palace in two days, I will tell him about this."

As soon as Zhu Yan finished speaking, Tao Yuyu seemed even more uneasy.

Geng Xingshuang held Tao Yuyu's hand, "Xiaoyu, what's wrong?"

Tao Yuyu shook his head, "No...it's nothing. I was just scared by what happened during this period."

Tao Yunian saw his sister's thoughts.

"Sister, are you worried about Master Zhu..."

Tao Yunian glanced at Zhu Yan midway through his words.

Zhu Yan was stunned for a moment, and then she understood what their siblings meant. At first she was a little angry, but then she felt that their worries were not groundless.

She assured: "Xiaoyu, Anian, don't worry, my eldest brother is not the kind of person who ignores the truth just for the so-called face issue. Although we have no evidence now, if my eldest brother intervenes, the situation will be much better than now." .After my eldest brother learns about your situation, he will only care about you like an elder brother does for a younger sister, and the other situations you are worried about will not happen."

Seeing Zhu Yan's determined look, Tao Yuyu's uneasy heart calmed down a little, and he nodded slowly, "Sister Yan, I believe you."

Ge Datian is dead, but Wu Hong is still in prison. However, because Ge Datian died so suddenly, it is not yet known whether there are human factors. However, the previous plan to have Tao Yuyu withdraw the lawsuit cannot be continued.

In the past few days, Geng Xingshuang has been waiting for Zhan Pei to come back.

Finally, on the 12th day after leaving Ningdu City, Zhanpei came back.

She brought bad news, "Mother Tan is gone?" Geng Xingshuang frowned.

"When I arrived at Zhuangzi in Ming County, Tan Feixu had just been buried for three days. I heard that he died of illness. I also asked other people in Zhuangzi to find out that Tan Feixu didn't leave anything behind before he died. The news of his death was brought to the second wife of the uncle, saying that she had served the second wife for a while, and now she was leaving. Before leaving, thanking the master for taking care of her for so many years was considered to have completed the master-servant relationship. I heard that the letter was not It went through the inn, but she used all the money she had to hire someone to deliver it specially. According to the time, it should be here soon."

Unlike Zhan Pei, a messenger can live in the open air and work at a high speed. It is normal for him to spend several days on the road.
