Chapter 57
report?

Mrs. Zhou fell to the ground and looked at Mu Yunge in a daze.She didn't expect things to come to this point at all, and she didn't pay attention for a while.

Zhou Bangyan was so angry that his teeth itched. He had just heard Cui Luo's words, and he was concerned: No matter what happened to this matter, as long as Mrs. Zhou didn't take the money and returned to Zhou's house, she would kill Mrs. Zhou. He would certainly hold that silver in his hand, too.With the money to open up the joints, I believe that in the near future, it is entirely possible for me to rise step by step!But when Mu Yunge reported the crime, everything was disrupted!

The old lady Zhou and Zhou Bangyan had the same thought, and looked at Mu Yunge with annoyance: How could this lowly maid have the courage to report the case?
Since Xu's family was arrested, the newly appointed county magistrate Wang Fuzhi in Jinling is a stern and cold-hearted person. He has made good friends with Anbohou's mansion and never buys his Zhou family's account. I'm afraid this time, Mrs. Zhou really can't keep it!
It was said that Cao Cao Cao Cao had arrived, and someone among the onlookers yelled, "Wang Zhi County is here!" Then the crowd separated automatically, and it turned out that Wang Fuzhi came to Mu's house with people from the county government.

Wang Fuzhi's complexion was dark, and his straight face was a bit scary. He used to be the magistrate of Ren County in another county.

As soon as Wang Fu arrived, the situation in the hall immediately changed. Aunt Luo came down from the chair and invited Wang Fuzhi to the chair.

The Mu family became a court in an instant. Wang Fuzhi sat in the chief seat, glanced around the people in the hall, and his eyes fell on Mu Yunge: "Did you go to the county government to report the case?"

"It's the slave!" Mu Yunge knelt in the hall and said loudly.

Wang Fuzhi said: "I have already accepted the case, and I have asked Chief Shen to investigate it. I have some clues today, so I invite you to accompany me to the county government."

"Yes." Mu Yunge said softly, stood up and took Mu Jinran by the hand, and asked again: "Dare to ask, sir, is it everyone in the hall? Are all the servants of the Mu family going?"

Wang Fuzhi nodded his head, glanced at the Zhou family members, and said: "Not all of them, I will summon them when the time comes."

"Then we don't have to go?" Zhou Bangyan said quickly.

Wang Fuzhi's face became even more serious: "Lord Zhou, I'm afraid it won't work." He looked at Mrs. Zhou with an uncertain expression: "Your Zhou family, as defendants, must also go to the county government. Please come with me! In the courtroom, you must go to the county government. You can tell right from wrong, if Mr. Zhou is innocent, you don't have to worry about it."

The words have come to this point, Zhou Bangyan can't refuse, so he has to take Zhou's family to follow him and go to the county government together.

Today's Mu family is so lively, people in Jinling are sensationalized.Seeing that so many people went to the county government office, only those who knew acquaintances knew that murder was involved, and the simple and honest people also followed.

When Wang Fuzhi was promoted to the hall, he immediately asked about the person Yunluo met the last time.

Mrs. Zhou was the first to bear the brunt, and she knelt down and replied: "My lord, it is true that the woman met Yun Luo that day. She gave money to the woman on behalf of Aunt Luo. The woman met Yun Luo at Baosheng Zhai. Baosheng Zhai The shopkeeper can testify for the woman. When the woman left, Yun Luo still left Baoshengzhai with the woman."

She had a ghost in her heart, and she kept looking at Zhou Bangyan while speaking, hoping that her husband would reach out to help her.

But how did she understand Zhou Bangyan's thoughts, he was questioned by the county magistrate, and he was in the critical period of being promoted to inspect, and he couldn't protect himself, how could he dare to speak for her?

Zhou Bangyan shrank behind Mrs. Zhou, bowed his head and said nothing.

Mrs. Zhou's heart burst into despair, and she felt dizzy in front of her eyes, wishing she could pass out and end this nightmare.

Wang Fuzhi listened, pondered for a while, and asked carefully: "When did you leave Baoshengzhai?"

"It's about three quarters." Madam Zhou's eyes rolled wildly: "The women don't remember clearly."

Wang Fuzhi stopped asking her, and asked Mu Yunge instead: "Did Yun Luo come back to Mu's house after this?"

"Return to your lord, no." Mu Yunge thought about it carefully, then shook his head.

Wang Fuzhi asked Cui Luo again: "It is said that Yun Luo took away Aunt Luo's money and eloped with others, but you passed it on, how did you know?"

Cui Luo glanced timidly at Mrs. Zhou, as if she was afraid of Wang Fuzhi, her face was full of contradictions, and she lowered her head after a long time and said, "Master Zhou, it was Mrs. Zhou who gave the servant 1000 taels of silver to let the servant say so. Mrs. Zhou also said that if the servant does what she says, not only can she get 1000 taels of silver, but after Aunt Luo monopolizes the Mu family, she can help the servant to redeem herself. If the servant does not do what she said, she will Tell the matter about Aunt Luo, and when the time comes to plant a charge of murdering the madam, the servant will have no good fruit to eat!"

Wang Fuzhi snorted coldly: "Chuan Baosheng Zhai shopkeeper!"

Soon, the yamen servant went to Liu Qingshan, the treasurer of Baoshengzhai.

As soon as Liu Qingshan arrived at the county government office, he looked at the women kneeling in the lobby, and his thoughts changed immediately, and he knew what was going on.

He knelt on the ground and waited for Wang Fuzhi's interrogation.

Wang Fuzhi glanced at him, looked down at Mrs. Zhou's confession just now, and asked, "Do you have any impression of what Mrs. Zhou said?"

"My lord, I remember." Liu Qingshan quickly replied: "I remember that afternoon, Mrs. Zhou and Miss Yunluo both came to our shop. They stayed in the wing room for a while, and for some reason they argued. He happened to be in the shop, and when he heard the quarrel, he went to check in the wing room. But when the villain arrived, Mrs. Zhou was about to leave, and her girl came out with Yun Luo on her back. The villain felt something was wrong, so he went up to ask a few words .”

"What did Mrs. Zhou say?" Wang Fuzhi asked again.

Liu Qingshan thought for a while, and said: "Mrs. Zhou said that girl Yunluo has suffered from dizziness, and she should just rest for a while. The villain also said that there are medicines in the shop, but Mrs. Zhou told the villain not to meddle in her own business."

Wang Fuzhi nodded to show that he understood. He snorted again and looked at Mrs. Zhou: "Is what he said the truth?"

Mrs. Zhou wanted to deny it, she opened her mouth, but no words came out of her throat.

At this moment, Shen Congshan came out with two yamen servants in large strides.As soon as he came in, he knelt in the lobby and replied: "My lord, after two days of investigation, I have found a trace of clues. Following the clues, I searched a lake and salvaged a corpse from the lake."

"Bring it up." Wang Fu ordered.

The two yamen servants immediately moved up the things they were carrying.Pulling off the white cloth, a thin girl lay quietly on the stretcher.She was wrapped in wet clothes and dirty, her face was covered with wet hair, half of her face was slightly swollen, and her original face could still be vaguely seen.Once there was a hideous scar on his forehead, it could be seen that it was not suicide.

As soon as she saw this girl, Mrs. Zhou subconsciously let out an "ah" and shrank back.

Mu Yunge stepped forward to identify it carefully, and it took a long time before he said sadly, "Master Hui, it's Yunluo."

Wang Fuzhi nodded, motioned her to be calm, and then asked Mrs. Zhou: "Mrs. Zhou, you taught Cui Luo that Yun Luo was running away with someone, but you knew in advance that she would disappear?"

This is also the most difficult question for Mrs. Zhou to answer. When she was asked by one of Wang Fu, she was at a loss, and stammered: "People's women... people's women..."

Her eyeballs rolled quickly. At this moment, her life was at stake, and she mobilized all her ingenuity and wit, and she really came up with an answer: "That's right. Yun Luo has always been acquainted with Bai Ling, the housewife's girl. During the time, the two often whispered together. The woman also knew from the girl Bai Ling that Yun Luo had a lover, but Aunt Luo had always disagreed with Yun Luo's marriage, so she thought that Yun Luo had eloped with someone because he suddenly disappeared."

"Is that so?" Wang Fuzhi asked Bai Ling.

Bai Ling knelt down immediately. She glanced at Mrs. Zhou with a strange expression, and said, "My lord, yes. Yun Luo has told this servant more than once that she really likes that man."

"Who is that person?" Wang Fuzhi asked.

Bai Ling didn't know who it was, so he had to make it up: "Yun Luo didn't want to say his name, but I heard that he met him when he was working."

For a while, the interrogation was deadlocked, and a non-existent person could not help the progress of the case at all.

After thinking about it, Wang Fuzhi decided to start with Mrs. Zhou.Years of interrogation experience told him that the woman in front of him had many secrets, and it involved the key to this case.He carefully looked at Mrs. Zhou's demeanor, and found that her whole body was tense and she was lying!
His heart trembled, and he immediately asked: "Mrs. Zhou, after you came out of Baoshengzhai wearing Yunluo that day, where did you say goodbye to Yunluo?"

"That day the woman was going to a farm outside the city, so the carriage was going outside the city. As soon as she arrived at the city gate, Yun Luo woke up and asked the woman to let her down at the gate of the city. The woman didn't expect so much, so she Let her go back by herself." Mrs. Zhou tugged at her handkerchief nervously: "Where did the women think that Yun Luo never came back and died in the lake?"

Wang Fuzhi stopped talking.

Mrs. Zhou must have been prepared. Although there were many loopholes in her words, each loophole was completely unsubstantiated, making it impossible for him to strike.

The interrogation couldn't find a breakthrough, and the people outside surrounded the Yamen with three layers, and his heart became serious.

At this time, Shen Congshan, who had been silent by the side, looked at Mu Yunge and Mu Yunge nodded slightly. He immediately walked to Wang Fuzhi's side, bent down and said to Wang Fuzhi in a low voice: "My lord, there is a little one here!" Idea, I don't know if it's feasible?"

"What's the idea?" Wang Fuzhi was surprised. Shen Congshan never opened his mouth during the trial, maybe he really had a coup.

Shen Congshan approached his ear and whispered a few words.

Wang Fuzhi's eyes lit up immediately, and he said immediately: "That's it, you go and prepare."

Shen Congshan got the order and took the people down.After a while, he brought back a middle-aged man dressed as a Taoist priest from outside, and he was waiting at the side of the hall, waiting for the arraignment.

One of Wang Fu patted the gavel, and waited for the people discussing to calm down before saying: "Today's matter is very suspenseful, and I have no way to start. I heard that the soul will not dissipate within seven days after death. I made an appraisal that Yun Luo died for three days. It's the best time to summon souls. Since no one alive can point out the murderer, then let Yun Luo avenge his wrongdoing!"
