Chapter 140 Uncle Zhong Surrenders Himself
Chu Qing lowered her eyes and said nothing, everything was in her plan, but the more she got in touch with, the more she felt that these things were too filthy, especially because she harmed Master.

If she could do it all over again, she would never set foot in the Zhao Mansion again.

Unfortunately, no matter how remorseful she was, Master would not be able to survive.

Seeing Chu Qing's expression was wrong, Li Tianxiao knew that she might be thinking of her master again, so he waved his hand to stop Yu Kufeng from continuing: "Go down and make arrangements, this time don't involve 'Yu Xiaochu'."

He was afraid that Uncle Liu Guo would attack her.

Yu Kuifeng stopped laughing and said with a solemn expression, "Okay, I'll do it now."

Chu Qing could be regarded as his savior, and he didn't want anything to happen to her.

After Yu Gufeng left, only Chu Qing and Li Tianxiao were left in the imperial study room. Chu Qing stood still, it was already late, it was impossible to leave the palace, and she might have to rest in the Hall of Mental Cultivation again.

Li Tianxiao raised his head and looked at her: "How many games will you play with me?"

Chu Qing urgently needed to divert her attention at this moment, so she nodded: "Okay."

So this night, Li Tianxiao played three games of chess with Chu Qing. She never thought about it. remind me?"

Li Tianxiao smiled softly: "I just don't feel sleepy. At this time, I can just prepare to go to court."

Chu Qing's expression moved slightly, and she stood up: "Your Majesty..."

Li Tianxiao: "Why, you were moved by me?"

His deep voice sounded beside Chu Qing's ears, making her slightly stunned, and couldn't help but helplessly said: "Your Majesty..."

"Okay, I won't tease you anymore. Since I feel that I owe you, how about asking Mr. Chu to become a servant today and change my clothes for me?" Li Tianxiao tentatively opened his mouth. He was not willing to give up the opportunity to get close to her.

Chu Qing hesitated: "This subordinate will not..."

Li Tianxiao said: "I can teach you."

So, when Xu De came in to remind the emperor that it was time to go to court, he saw Chu Qing putting on the dragon robe for Li Tianxiao.

Li Tianxiao stretched out his arms, appearing tall, with broad shoulders and long legs.

When I looked at it alone, I didn't realize that this Young Master Chu looked extraordinarily petite standing in front of the emperor.

If it wasn't for the fact that the other party was dressed in a man's attire, he would have almost mistaken her for a woman.

In fact, when we first met, Xu De also had this kind of suspicion, but then he thought about where there would be women, and it really is so powerful that women do not give way to men.He had never heard of a woman acting as a wife, so thinking about it, he dispelled his previous strange thoughts.

This Mr. Chu, probably... just has fine features and smaller bones.

Li Tianxiao was the first to see Xu De and gave him a deep look.

Xu De obediently withdrew again.

Only then did Li Tianxiao lower his eyes again, and saw Chu Qing tie his belt, but he couldn't tie it properly.

Simply start to teach her.

Just inadvertently, she touched Chu Qing's hand.

Chu Qing immediately took it back, and Li Tianxiao only felt the smooth and delicate skin on the back of his hand, which made him a little dazed for a while.

With a low cough: "It seems that you really don't know how to do it, that's all, that's all that's left, I'll just do it myself."

Chu Qing stepped aside: "Let the servant come in."

Li Tianxiao shook his head, and put on the dragon robe by himself.

Although he didn't wear it himself, he is the emperor after all. He has seen it so many times, and he still remembers it.

"What are you going to do today?"

Chu Qing replied straight-forward: "Uncle Zhong went to the Ministry of Punishments to surrender himself, and Zhao Kuiwu will go to beg Uncle Liu Guo soon after he gets the news. At that time... I am afraid that Uncle Liu Guo may come to look for me, so I will stay here for a few days." He is in Fusi, Beizhen."

Li Tianxiao was also afraid that she would be exposed accidentally: "Okay, when Zhao Kuiwu is released from the prison, I will call Shang Gufeng, and we will go to Yipinzhai together."

Chu Qing: "Everything is arranged by the emperor."

Waiting for Li Tianxiao to go to the morning court, Chu Qing stayed in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, but the image of Li Tianxiao patiently teaching her to help him wear the dragon robe always appeared in his mind. I didn't think of it before, but now that I think about it, I always feel that the two were so far apart at that time. Nearly... It's really too ambiguous.

Chu shook his head lightly, shaking off the strange thoughts in his mind.

She didn't bother to have breakfast and left the palace directly.

When we arrived at Beizhen Fusi, sure enough, Zhong Xuan found her mysteriously: "You are back. Half an hour ago, before dawn, the loyal uncle went to the Ministry of Criminal Justice to surrender. Now the entire Ministry of Criminal Justice and Zhao The mansion is in full swing, it's extremely lively, wait a little longer, Lord Zhen from the Ministry of Punishment should come looking for you."

After all, Chu Qing was in charge of this case, Master Zhen still wanted to ask Chu Qing and Yu Gufeng.

"Okay, just wait. How about the couple?"

"I took the antidote you brought back last night and fell asleep again, but I asked the doctor to come and see, and he said that he would wake up soon."

"That's good."

"Then what are you going to do next?" Zhong Xuan now completely listens to Chu Qing, as long as she interferes with the matter, it's really out of the question, and it can be settled easily.

Left and right, he couldn't think of being able to pretend to be a Taoist priest and coax Uncle Zhong to hand over the evidence by himself.

Otherwise, it would be really difficult to get it from Zhao Kuiwu or Uncle Zhong.

"Create public opinion by yourself, find a few people to spread the word, this Zhongshu has no reason to kill Mrs. Zhao, maybe it was Zhao Kuiwu who killed him, Zhongshu is so loyal, he must be the scapegoat; and also implicate Aunt Mei's matter Come out...the bigger the mess, the better."

"Shall we let people know about the child now?"

"No, just let people guess why Mrs. Zhao died, why Zhao Kuiwu wanted to 'kill' Mrs. Zhao...Madam Zhao is jealous of Aunt Mei's remaining children, let people guess at will."

Zhong Xuan went out soon, and not long after, he sent his confidantes to pretend to be ordinary people and started wandering around.

Sure enough, not long after, Lord Zhen asked the yamen servant to send someone to invite Chu Qing to the Ministry of Punishment.

Chu Qing met Yu Zhufeng outside the criminal department.

According to the original plan, Yu Kuifeng deliberately said at the door: "Yo, Master Xiaoyu, why are you here?"

Chu Qing: "Why did Lord Yu come here, that's why I came here."

Yu Kuifeng's voice became louder: "So...you came here because Zhao Kuiwu's housekeeper turned himself in and said that he killed Mrs. Zhao! I thought something happened to the uncle of the country or the son of the world, and let you What about pardoning?"

Chu Qing didn't change his face: "I'm sitting up straight. It's better for Mr. Yu not to slander these trumped-up charges. Don't worry, I'll sue you."

Yu Gufeng: "Hey, you are really eloquent, but I don't know if you can still be so calm when you meet Zhao Kuiwu's housekeeper, Uncle Zhong, after all...why would a housekeeper kill his wife? Don't you think it's right?"

It happened to be a busy time when he came.

He has a loud voice, and there are quite a few small stalls outside the Ministry of Criminal Justice. Everyone pricked up their ears and started listening when they saw the two from the beginning. At this time, they were even more excited: Yes, how could he kill his wife? ?Didn't this loyal uncle say he was the most loyal to Zhao Kuiwu?How could you betray Madam Killer?

Uncle Zhong was afraid of attracting attention, so he came before dawn, and not many people knew about it.

Now being yelled at by Yu Gufeng, the news seems to have grown wings... spread.

Yu Kuifeng saw that it was almost done, so he squeezed Chu Qing away, waved his folding fan, and leisurely entered the Ministry of Punishment.

Chu Qing followed behind and walked in. When she reached the lobby, she saw Uncle Zhong kneeling in the hall.

Master Zhen was at a loss, and when he saw Chu Qing and the two, his eyes lit up: "The two adults are finally here!"

The two sat on one side respectively: "What's going on? Why hasn't the case been investigated yet? Someone has turned himself in?"

Mr. Zhen wiped the cold sweat from his forehead: "This official doesn't know, this loyal uncle just said 'I killed my wife' when he came early in the morning, and he stopped talking." He asked for a long time , did not pry the other party's mouth open, and asked for more details.

"Really?" Yu Zufeng laughed, "This is interesting, after all, there must be a reason for killing people, right?"

"But that's why I can't ask." Master Zhen was worried: "Master Xiaoyu, you see that this case was originally entrusted to you, so can you see if you want to transfer it?"

Chu Qing shook his head: "Although I took over the investigation case, since the surrender is with Mr. Zhen, then this case is considered merged, and Mr. Zhen has the right to ask." Chu Qing pushed the matter away completely. .

Mr. Zhen couldn't help but have a headache. The problem is, this matter looks evil at first sight. This Uncle Zhong belongs to Zhao Kuiwu.

Zhao Kuiwu belonged to Uncle Liu, he... didn't want to offend Uncle Liu.

In this capital city, offending uncle Liu Guo is more frightening than offending the emperor.

At best, the emperor would dismiss him from office, but Uncle Liu Guo is terrible.

But after Chu Qing said this, she really didn't say a word, she just sat there with her eyes closed, as if she was asleep.

Yu Kufeng was excited: "My lord Zhen, hurry up to interrogate, do you want me to go up to the emperor and let the emperor interrogate you for you?" Go home and sell sweet potatoes.

Master Zhen, like trying to catch a duck to the shelf, could only slap the gavel: "What is the name of this person? Why are you beating the drums? But there is a grievance?"

Hearing this, Uncle Zhong was finally willing to speak: "The villain's surname is Tang Mingzhong, and he is the housekeeper of Zhao's house. There is no grievance, but Mrs. Zhao, who died in a dry well found outside the city a few days ago, was killed by the villain. People can't stand the torment in their hearts, so they kill people."

Master Zhen breathed a sigh of relief: "Why did you kill someone? Since you killed someone, there must be a reason."

Uncle Zhong lowered his eyes: "The villain is just dissatisfied with what my wife has done, and she looks down on the little one, so the little one has evil thoughts in his heart."

When Uncle Zhong said these words, he wanted to die with all his heart, and his face was dead silent.

Master Zhen: "Just because of this?"

Uncle Zhong nodded: "Yes, I killed people on a small impulse, and I regretted it when it happened, so I have been having nightmares for the past few days. I dreamed that my wife turned into a ghost and came to seek revenge on me. I had no choice but to surrender myself. gone."

Lord Zhen: "But just based on your few words, how can I believe you? Do you have evidence?"
