Chapter 43
Master Zhang then interrogated the rest of the witnesses, and it was indeed the same as what Aunt Sun said.

And several wives also heard their quarrel in the gazebo, the content of the quarrel was no different from what Aunt Sun said, and some people in the Zhuangzi proved that they had quarreled about whether Zhuangzi would sell or not last night, and they had grudges in their hearts. .

Liang Butou also came back from gathering evidence. Judging from the traces on the edge of the reservoir, there was no discrepancy with the testimony of the crowd. Both Changsun Yan'er and Chen Jinning were pushed into the water.

There are all certified physical evidence, but Mr. Zhang still asked Jin Ning, "Does the county lord have any excuses?"

Jin Ning stood up, looked around at the witnesses, and said calmly: "They are all lying, the grandson Yan'er jumped off by herself, and the purpose is to frame me, as for the elder sister and I fell into the water, it was to save others, But I forgot that I don't know how to swim, and after entering the water, I jumped a few times and grabbed my eldest sister, accidentally hurting her, and I feel very guilty."

Chen Guogong went up against the case, his face turned blue with anger, "How dare you say such absurd words? You have old grievances with Yan'er, how could you go into the water for her?"

Jin Ning smiled coldly, "What I said was absurd, and what they said was the truth, right? In the heart of the Duke, I am a habitual liar and vicious person, so naturally I can't compare to those people with high morals. Therefore, the Grand Duke has already preconceived and concluded that I am guilty, even if Mr. Zhang returns my innocence today, the Grand Duke may not believe that I am innocent."

Chen Guogong looked at her cold and aloof face, and the incident of the last time came before his eyes again. Last time, the evidence of the crime was convincing, but she was indeed wronged.

A trace of hesitation suddenly appeared in his heart.

Mrs. Jiang Ninghou looked at Chen Guogong's expression, and said indifferently: "You are so eloquent. If you say that all the farmers in this village have been bought, are the wives also bought? My wife doesn't believe it. She is pregnant, but she does not hesitate to frame you with her own life and the life of the child in her womb. If you die, what will she benefit from? Besides, Chen Jinrui is your eldest sister. My wife has heard that your sisters have deep feelings for you. , She will frame you, your own sister, for Shu Yizhong's cousin? The Duke is right, what you said is absurd."

When Chen Guogong heard Mrs. Jiang Ninghou's analysis, the hesitation in his eyes completely faded away.

General Mingwei's wife also said coldly: "Even if I didn't hear it with my own ears, but judging from Miss San's words and deeds, I really don't believe her words. We came here today. She is the master of this village. I said that there are many mosquitoes in this village, Mrs. Changsun asked her to order some wormwood to repel mosquitoes, but she quarreled with Mrs. Changsun. After all, Mrs. Changsun is also her aunt, so disrespectful, but she will fall into the water to save people ? Who will believe it?”

The eldest grandson Ba stood up, cupped his hands to Master Zhang, and said in a domineering manner: "Master Zhang, this case has been investigated clearly, the culprit is here, she cannot deny it, and I don't think I will need to teach you how to handle the case."

Mr. Zhang looked at Chen Guogong, this matter, on the surface, it is true that the third lady is the murderer, but if you look deeper, you will know that there is something else going on.

As long as the Duke insists on investigating on his own, he will surely be able to find out something.

But the Duke of the country has already believed their words.

"Master Guo, do you have anything else to ask?" Lord Zhang shouldn't have asked this question again, but he really hoped that Lord Chen could think it through.

Chen Guogong looked at Jinning with cold eyes, and said in a disappointed and angry tone: "The matter has come to light, and adults can deal with it as they please."

Mr. Zhang sighed almost inaudibly, straightened his expression, and ordered: "Captor Liang, first take the county master..."

Master Zhang hadn't finished speaking when he heard a soft and sharp voice from outside, "Hey, why is it so lively? What kind of happy event are you having?"

Everyone was slightly taken aback when they heard the voice.

this sound...

Just as he was surprised, he saw a few people striding in from the yard.

Walking in front was the upstart General Chen Jingting, who was beside the emperor. He was wearing a blue general robe with cuffs closed, and a white belt with a golden brass buckle on it. If you look carefully, you can see that the copper ring is engraved with characters. This buckle belongs to Taizu.

The crown is neat and tidy, and the handsome face is now calm and indifferent, the eyes are restrained, but there is a sharp light flashing, the wheat-colored skin is covered with fine beads of sweat, it can be seen that this journey has been rushed.

Behind him was a middle-aged man in a loose purple robe.

His appearance was as feminine as his voice, his long hair was pulled back casually and tied with a purple silk belt, because his clothes were loose, although he walked fast, he looked very leisurely.

In the center of the slender eyebrows on both sides, the brows form a Sichuan character, the chin is slightly raised, and the thin lips are tightly pursed, which is a majestic appearance.

Behind the two, followed by several men in black robes with swords on their backs, all with serious expressions and sharp eyes.

When these people came in, the room seemed to become narrow all of a sudden. These people were tall and straight, shining like jade trees.

"Lord Su!" Surprised, everyone hurriedly left their seats and stood up to salute.

Master Su, Eunuch Su, Su Yi, the chief of the Southern Supervisor, who used to be single-handedly promoted and reused by Qingtian Regent, are now deeply trusted by the Empress Dowager and the Emperor, and they are very popular and powerful.

He is a eunuch!
The only eunuch who has ever been on the battlefield in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Eunuch Su raised his eyebrows, glanced at everyone, then smiled and pressed his hands, "I came here uninvited, are you not surprised, my lords?"

"How could it be?" Chen Guogong cupped his hands and looked at Su Gonggong with a smile, "Brother Su's presence makes this Zaozhuang flourish."

Many people looked down on Eunuch Su, and many people flattered Eunuch Su.

Those who look down on him mostly say that he is a eunuch and eunuch.

The one who flattered him was naturally because he was deeply favored by the emperor.

However, there are still some people in the court who respect him from the bottom of their hearts, because he has really made great contributions to the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Chen Guogong is one of the court officials who sincerely respect him.

Therefore, even though he is now facing a family scandal, he still greets him with a raised face.

When Eunuch Su and Chen Jingting arrived, the seat was naturally given up.

Chen Jingting is now a general, and his rank is higher than these people, so although Changsun Ba and others looked down on him, they had to give way with courtesy.

Chen Jingting walked to the center and looked at Jinning.

Jin Ning's gaze just turned back from Chen Gou outside the door, and when her gaze met Chen Jingting, she lightly curled her lips as a greeting.

Chen Jingting turned his face and cupped his hands to Madam Jiang Ninghou, "Is the stepmother here?"

Mrs. Jiang Ninghou's face has been indifferent and contemptuous since she saw Eunuch Su. Now that her adopted son greeted her, she just nodded lightly, "Jing Ting, why are you here?"

"Yes!" Chen Jingting said, Yang Pao sat down, seemingly answering Mrs. Jiang Ninghou's words, but actually did not answer.

Mrs. Jiang Ninghou didn't mind, anyway, between them, it was just whitewashing the peace.
