The wife of the power minister's family

Chapter 82: A common man is not guilty, but he is guilty of having a jade (second update)

The search process is destined to be long.

After all, there are a lot of officials here that they can't afford to offend. No matter how distressed Huang Yougui and Su Qiuyue were about the impact on their son's preparation for the exam, they didn't dare to neglect them. They went into the house and took out some tea, made some tea, and greeted them. Deng Youwei and Xiao Yi sat and waited.

Xu Jing originally thought that a noble man from the capital like Xiao Yi would not be able to get used to sitting on such a table, but unexpectedly she saw him lift his robe and sit down gracefully without any psychological pressure.

Because Xu Jing was a little surprised, she couldn't help but look at Xiao Yi twice.

Xiao Yi couldn't notice Xu Jing's gaze. He couldn't help but straighten his waist and frown slightly.

She kept watching what he was doing. Was there something wrong with his movements?

However, Xu Jing was just a little curious and quickly looked away.

Xiao Yi suddenly felt that something was wrong with him when she stared at him.

Now that she wasn't staring at him, he seemed even worse, and his heart was heavy.

He sat up straight, so why didn't she look at him?
None of the other people related to the case left. The county magistrate didn't tell them to leave. How could they dare to leave?

Xiao Yi came here today without wearing an official uniform. He was wearing a round-neck dark-colored dark patterned robe with large sleeves. The simple attire made him more upright, handsome, and charming. Although he hardly spoke after coming here, he still No one would ignore his presence, and several young ladies would steal a glance at him from time to time. If the occasion wasn't right, they might not be able to hold themselves back and step forward to talk to him.

Xu Jing sat diagonally opposite Xiao Yi and Deng Youwei. Seeing that waiting was also waiting, she winked at Chen Hu.

Although Xu Jing was wearing a veil and others couldn't see her clearly, she attracted more attention like this, not to mention that she was sitting in a wheelchair. It was only because the people from the county government were clearly protecting her that no one said anything.

When Chen Hu saw this, he immediately ran over and got in front of Xu Jing. Xu Jing said something in his ear. Chen Hu nodded, ran back to Xiao Yi and Deng Youwei, and put Xu Jing in front of him. Jing repeated what he said.

Xiao Yi raised his eyes and glanced at Xu Jing, then nodded.

Deng Youwei was a little surprised. Just when Mrs. Xu conveyed those questions to Chen Hu, he felt something. This Mrs. Xu actually knew how to investigate the case!

At this moment, she asked Chen Hu to convey to him that the questions she asked him to ask were already in his interrogation plan, but he originally planned to wait until the search results came out before asking.

But it’s not impossible to ask now.

Deng Youwei also nodded. Chen Hu immediately stood up, cleared his throat, looked at the people in the yard and said, "I wonder if Mrs. Zhuo has any enmity with anyone on weekdays? Or is there anyone who might harm Mrs. Zhuo? People?"

Everyone was stunned, and Zhuo's father was the first to speak: "My Yu Niang is usually the most docile and well-behaved. Even if she quarrels with others, she can't hold back an unpleasant word for a long time.

How could such a child take the initiative to make enemies with others?Not to mention... Not to mention that Yu Niang rarely goes out of the village on weekdays. She helps with housework and farm work and takes care of her two nephews every day. There are only a few people who often come and go, and she has no chance to make enemies with them! "

Ye Anqiao also nodded and said: "This civilian woman can testify that the civilian woman grew up with Yu Niang since she was a child. Yu Niang's temperament is the best among our sisters. That is, because she is too good, she will be attracted by some The villain steps on your face and bullies you."

As she spoke, she glanced at Zhu Yan and Miao Xianglan who were sitting opposite her with a look of resentment. Ever since Zhu Yan discovered the strangeness of the butterfly pearl silver hairpin on her head, she had been lowering her head with a look of hatred. A look of extreme shame.

Miao Xianglan stayed close to Zhu Yan, and when she noticed Ye Anqiao's eyes, her face turned pale, but she didn't say anything.

Suddenly, Ye Anqiao paused and said: "However, because Yu Niang is beautiful, there are many people in the village who covet her. Among the village women who know about her are Wang Mazi from the head of the village, and his wife from the previous two years. Chen Aizi ran away with someone. Every time they saw Yu Niang, those two people had squinted expressions on their faces, which was very disgusting! Especially Chen Aizi, who once passed by Yu Niang, actually Want... to take advantage of Yu Niang! Fortunately, Huang Erlang was there at the time and almost didn't break Chen Shorty's hand. For such a despicable and disgusting man, it's no wonder that his wife couldn't bear it and ran away with her son and others. !

But since then, whenever Chen Xiaozi saw Yu Niang, he had a resentful expression on his face, as if he had a grudge against Yu Niang. "

Chen Hu was slightly stunned.

The woman they called Ah Rong also said: "Indeed, when the peasant woman and Yu Niang were together, they met those two people several times. Their eyes were sticky every time, which made people very uncomfortable. Comfortable, it is precisely because of this that Yu Niang is very vigilant on weekdays and rarely goes out alone.

That Wang Mazi is now in his thirties and has yet to find a wife. He not only looks at the pretty lady, but there is no pretty girl in the village who has not been harassed by him.

The peasant woman remembered that Yuniang once told the peasant woman that once she went to the fields to deliver food to Uncle Zhuo, and she was the only one on the way back. Wang Mazi was following her, and she was so frightened that she almost ran home the whole time. Since then, whenever she went to deliver food, she would always bring her sister-in-law or one of her two nephews with her. "

Ye Anqiao was stunned, and her eyes became even redder, "Yu Niang never told me about this matter. She has always been strong-minded and rarely complains in front of others. That time she must have been afraid of being cruel, so she told you about this matter... …”

Su Qiuyue on the side suddenly smiled sarcastically and said: "What a strong heart, I think she is just a restless fox! She deserves what happened to her this time! If it weren't for her, my Erlang wouldn't be in such a critical situation. Interrupted at the critical moment..."

"Mom! Shut up!"

Huang Qingchuan, who had always looked decadent and as if he had lost his soul, suddenly stared at his mother with red and swollen eyes, and shouted in a broken voice: "I have always loved you, but you always say that Yu Niang is not good here or there is no convenience. Forget it, now...now that Yu Niang is gone, can't you miss Yu Niang's daily life more?"

Su Qiuyue was yelled at by her son in front of so many people, and her face was obviously a little embarrassed, but she really didn't want to irritate her son anymore, and finally said bitterly: "Sooner or later, you will be hurt by that woman!"

Then he kept silent and said no more.

The yard became quiet again for a while.

Chen Hu couldn't help but murmured in a low voice: "Who are the people around Madam Zhuo? It seems like a miracle that Madam Zhuo has been able to live peacefully for so many years."

Xu Jing vaguely heard his words and couldn't help but glance at him.

As the saying goes, an ordinary man is not guilty, but a jade is guilty.In this world, if a woman does not have enough ability to protect herself, but has too ostentatious beauty, she is destined to have a difficult life.

Just like the original owner who first lived in Hutou Village.

However, although the existence of Wang Mazi and Chen Aizi is now known, if there is no evidence to prove that they may be related to Zhuo Yuting's case, it will only add to the confusion.

Deng Youwei immediately ordered Chen Hu to tell the government officials who were searching outside to ask about the whereabouts of those two people that day.

However, they can't be too explicit. If they are really the murderers, knowing that the people in the county government are already suspicious of them, I'm afraid they will alert the snake.

After waiting for more than an hour, the sun had already set halfway down the mountain, and then a guard ran back, saluted Deng Youwei and Xiao Yi, approached them and whispered: "My subordinates have already asked Everyone who is still in the village said that they had not seen Mrs. Zhuo that afternoon.

They also said that after Mrs. Zhuo disappeared, her father and brother searched for her all over the village. If anyone had seen Mrs. Zhuo that day, they would have told her! "
