Rebirth of the beauty of the peasant girl

Chapter 451 Arbitrary
Everyone looked at the magistrate, waiting to see how she would make a ruling.

Qing Luo took the case file recorded by Lin Liu and browsed through it, then raised her head and said, "That's it for today, and the trial will continue tomorrow."

what?
The two families looked at me and I looked at you, both a little at a loss.After waiting for a long time, you just waited for this sentence?

"My lord, my daughter..."

"Why are you so anxious? Is the case so easy to handle?!" Catcher Huang interrupted him, staring and shouting, "Why don't you all go home and wait for your lord to summon you at any time!"

The yamen servants all took it for granted and took it for granted.

At this time, the transmission of traffic information is lagging behind, and sometimes it is common for a case to be tried for a year or so, and it is very likely that nothing will be found out in the end.

Although the imperial court also has requirements on the rate of closing cases, not everyone is a detective. Most of the officials are scholars, and they really can't solve the case.

At most, during the review every three years, the evaluation they get is not good, and they cannot be promoted.

If you're lucky, you might even be scolded by Her Majesty the Queen for being incompetent...

After dismissing the Niu family and the Liu family, Qing Luo propped her chin with one hand, and flipped through Lin Liu's records with the other.

The courtroom was quiet, and no one dared to disturb her.

After a long time, she raised her head and asked, "Sixth Master, what do you think about this case?"

Lin Liu was taken aback.

When he was sent here, he thought that Qingluo didn't understand anything, but it turned out that the other party understood everything at all.He was almost used to being a full-time clerk, and he didn't expect Qingluo to be willing to ask him for advice.

Lin Liuyi was flattered for a while, and hurriedly said: "I think the suspicions of these two families can't be resolved yet, and we need to investigate carefully."

Chen Xiangxue also came over: "I think the Liu family is more suspicious."

"Oh?" Qing Luo glanced at her, "Why?"

"Because Niu Guilan is Niu Fugui's daughter, after all, there are still a few who attack her own daughter, right?"

"This is purely subjective speculation." Qing Luo said, "A small number does not mean that there are none. What's more, what the Liu family sued is that the Niu family passed on their daughter to another family, not killing her."

Chen Xiangxue looked surprised: "One woman marries two husbands, how can you girls of the Zhou Dynasty be so unruly?"

Qingluo said angrily: "You women in Northern Qi are all chaste and martyrs, okay?!"

Chen Xiangxue said blankly: "I didn't mention you, why are you so excited?"

Qingluo: "...I don't want to talk to you, let's play."

"Let me give you a suggestion. Even if you are the chief official, you can't act arbitrarily, right? An official who doesn't listen to opinions is not a good official. If all the officials in Da Zhou are like you, I guess the distance from Da Zhou is Our Northern Qi conquest is not far away..."

The veins on Qingluo's forehead twitched: "Say it again?"

"Hey, my lord, I think this case really needs to be paid close attention to, mainly because I don't know whether Niu Guilan is dead or alive now..." Lin Liu quickly changed the subject.

Woman, it's unreasonable to argue over such a thing...

"Humph!"

Qing Luo glared at Chen Xiangxue, and decided that the adults should not remember the faults of villains, and that they should not be as knowledgeable as such low EQ people.

Otherwise it looks like she is bullying people.

"What should we do next?" Chen Xiangxue didn't have any self-consciousness, and was still making serious comments, "I think it's better to lock them up and torture them, they will always confess!"

Qing Luo: "Hehe, so you guys in Northern Qi treat the common people like this, you like to be tortured into tricks? It seems that your officialdom in Northern Qi is not very good."

"I've never been an official in Beiqi, I don't know. I just know you're not good." Chen Xiangxue said innocently.

Qingluo: "..."

"My lord," Lin Liu hurriedly changed the subject, "Why don't we split up and follow the two of them secretly, they will always show their feet!"

Qingluo glanced at him: "Alright, this matter is up to you to arrange."

Chen Xiangxue: "What about you?"

"Me? I plan to go out tomorrow. I have been in Pingyang for so long, and I haven't looked around properly yet."

"Huh? Then I'll take you there!" Chen Xiangxue pondered, "I've searched all over here, I know where the dim sum is the best, where the tea is the most mellow!"

A native of Northern Qi, who is more familiar with this place than she is a local, Qingluo is really speechless.

So the next morning, Lin Liu arranged for people to follow up and investigate the Liu and Niu families respectively.And Qing Luo and Chen Xiangxue changed into men's clothes and went out for a stroll.

Only Chen Xiangxue's little maid, Zhui'er, followed.

A group of three people, who looked like someone's young handsome son, took the little book boy to play around.

"Why do we have to dress like this?" Chen Xiangxue didn't like her men's attire.

Qing Luo was wearing a blue thin shirt, wearing a square scarf, and fanned her hand, saying: "It's so convenient."

Along the way, young girls kept looking at them.

After all, they are officials in Pingyang, and they run around carelessly. If they are recognized, it will be inconvenient.

Zhui'er was very happy, jumping up and down all the way.

"This place seems not far from Niu Fugui's house?" When she reached the west of the city, Qing Luo stopped and looked around.

"I guess... huh?" Chen Xiangxue looked at her suspiciously, "Didn't you come out to play, but to investigate the case?"

She just said, Liu Qingluo is so lazy, why did she suddenly think of going out to play.

Qingluo didn't answer.

She unfolded the fan in her hand and lowered her head to study it carefully.

"What are you looking at?"

Chen Xiangxue went over to take a look, and found that her fan was neither flowers, birds, fish, insects, nor celebrity inscriptions, but a very rough road map.

If you take a closer look, you can find that the starting point of this road map is where they are now.

At the end of the route, a small "Liu" is marked.

"What is this for?"

"Our itinerary for today." Qing Luo snapped her fan closed, raised her head and said with a smile, "Aren't you familiar with this place? You will lead the way."

Chen Xiangxue: "I know the city well, how could I come to such a remote place..."

Qingluo suddenly regretted taking her out.

In the end, they could only rely on the fan in Qingluo's hand and wandered all the way. At noon, the three of them walked with sore legs and weak waists, and their stomachs were hungry.

"I'm not leaving..." Chen Xiangxue sat on the side of the road, hugging her knees, and buried her head between her legs, "I'm so exhausted! I'm not leaving! Where is this place? There's not even a tea house!"

Qingluo looked at the fan: "There is a Zen temple not far ahead, let's go in and have a rest and ask for a glass of water?"

"Miss Seven, this servant will carry you over there!" As expected of having practiced before, Zhui'er was still full of energy, carrying Chen Xiangxue on her back with ease.

Chen Xiangxue leaned on Zhui'er's back and asked, "Liu Qingluo, you're investigating the case by taking the route from Niu's house to Liu's house?"
