The remarriage of the high-ranking daughter

Chapter 108
Baifu, the study in the front yard.

Sitting behind the table, Shen Ping looked carefully at the confession materials in his hand, there was no other way, Marquis Wu An was a man who didn't care about anything, and Bai Moyu hadn't returned from the capital, so he could only take up the burden.

I didn't expect Chi Yu and his son to be so tight-lipped. They thought they were ready to plead guilty after the fight that night, but they didn't want to turn their backs after being imprisoned, and refused to admit that they had an affair with the bandits. Anyone has to resist a human raid, there is no reason to let me take advantage of it, isn't it?
This reasoning naturally makes sense, but now Shen Ping is worried that no matter how hard he searches, he can't find their account books, so how can the crimes committed in the past be punished together?
There is a criminal law in the Great Zhou Dynasty, the murderer dies, but the evidence must be complete. If the time is too long, the evidence has already been annihilated, and there is no way to convict these people.

However, the crime of stealing property must reach a certain amount. Seeing that Chi Yu and the others have so many people, each of them only bears so little, and it is impossible to severely punish them. Thinking of this, Shen Ping I have a headache.

"Father!"

Chang'an pushed the door and entered, followed by Ziyuan holding a peach wood tray, the plum blossom covered Gu bowl on the plate was slightly closed, a scent of fragrance wafted in the air, Shen Ping couldn't help but raised his head, put down the materials in his hand, He laughed and said, "My daughter came just in time, and I'm having a headache for my father!"

"Father drank this bowl of heart, lung and pork bone soup first. You have worked hard recently, don't be really tired, my daughter still counts on you!"

Chang'an said with a smile, and Ziyuan put the tray on the corner of the table, uncovered the cover, took the spoon, and handed it to Shen Ping respectfully.

"Hey!"

Shen Ping drank a few sips of soup and felt a sudden heat in his chest, but when he thought about the case under his command, he sighed again, "This Chi Yi and his son are really treacherous, it's no wonder that they have been in the officialdom for many years, knowing that they have been locked up right now There must be insufficient evidence in the court, so they turned back one after another, if they can’t find the ledger again, it’s not an option to keep it locked.”

Shen Ping put down the Gu cover bowl, rubbed his forehead with a headache, Chang An couldn't help but stepped forward, leaned on the side, and took over with his hands, rubbing gently, Shen Ping breathed a sigh of relief, and slowly closed his eyes. His eyes were closed, but he said in his mouth: "I don't know why that kid Mo Chen is so ink-stained. If he can save someone and come back, we can also pry the opening from Madam Chi!"

Although Pei Minghui is not the head of the family in Chifu, she is still the mistress in charge of all the affairs of the back house. If she wants to hide something, if you don't tell me, you may die and never find it.

Chang An's heart moved, and he couldn't help asking softly: "Madam Chi...how is it in prison?"

Shen Ping twitched the corners of his mouth, and smiled helplessly, "This is a stubborn woman, she doesn't cry like other concubines in the Chi family, she just sits with a calm face, neither crying nor making trouble, as a father I went to see her twice, but no matter what I said, she still kept silent."

"Men do wrong things, but women suffer..." Chang An sighed, and then said: "It's very cold in the prison, and it's not warm even now that it's spring, father should ask the people below to take care of them more, don't treat Madam Chi slowly. "

Chang An pursed his lips, Pei Minghui didn't say anything, she could only help here, no matter what, she took good care of her, and when Luo Dashan came back, she could have an explanation.

The dungeon was dim, and a little crescent light seeped through the window, reflecting Pei Minghui's pale face. The clothes were still worn on the day when he was arrested. I was so pressed that I wrinkled, and I didn't know whether the deep and shallow marks were tears, sweat or blood.

There was a clean mattress sitting under her, presumably someone had specially confessed it, otherwise how could a prisoner be treated like this, the concubine Ji beside her was envious of her treatment, Pei Minghui just twitched the corners of her lips, But I don't know whether to cry or laugh.

What day is this?Pei Minghui blinked her dry eyes and looked out the window. The moonlight was cold and hazy, as if blocked by clouds. She licked her chapped lips. Her haggard face was not happy, but she was slightly disappointed. Before she reached the last step, someone beat her to it.

That's right, Lord Wu and Mrs. Shen are father and daughter, and they have already seen through the dirty affairs of Chi's mansion, so how could they not catch Chi Yu when he was doing things?
It's just that the time came so quickly that she was somewhat caught off guard. She hadn't made arrangements for her funeral, and hadn't sent the last letter to her younger brother, but she didn't want everything to end like this.

Pei Minghui sighed, but heard movement outside the window, so she couldn't help but look up.

The one-foot-square dungeon window was just above the man's head. Even if Pei Minghui raised his head, he could only see the man's black square-toed shoes, and his low voice echoed through the window: "Ms. Pei, my lord asked me to ask In your case, the ledger has already been destroyed?"

Pei Minghui's expression was startled, his pupils suddenly opened wide, his originally slack gaze brightened, his hands immediately climbed up to the window sill, and he asked anxiously: "What's wrong with my brother, will you treat him kindly?"

The person outside the window seemed to be a little impatient, but he was cautious, and said again: "If you act according to the adults, your brother will be fine. Let me ask you again, has the account book been destroyed?"

Pei Minghui pursed her lips, her expression suddenly calmed down, she turned around, leaning her back against the cold wall, and said quietly, "Please rest assured, my lord, there is absolutely no trace left behind, he will be able to rest easy and have a bright future! "

"That's good!"

The man laughed a few times, turned around and left, but just as he was leaving, he shot a projectile through the window. As soon as the projectile touched the ground, a puff of blue-purple smoke rose up. Pei Minghui was shocked and couldn't help but He hurriedly retreated into the corner, and quickly tore off a corner of the skirt to cover his mouth and nose, but his exposed eyes were full of anger.

She has already arranged everything properly, is she going to kill her before she can wait for the sentence?
Tong Zhuo, you are so cruel!

Pei Minghui knew that all the relationship between Tongzhuo and this side was handled by her. If she was gone, the ledger would be destroyed. Even if Chi Yi and his son had eight mouths, he might not be involved. If he dies again, he will really be able to sit back and relax.

It's just such a child, can she really put her brother in his hands with confidence?

Pei Minghui's heart felt cold, and she also felt miserable. What kind of Zhongshan wolf did she believe in by mistake?
The blue-purple smoke quickly filled the dungeon. She had already seen the concubine Chi Fu who was locked up in the next cell glared and fell down straight. She felt even more frightened. It will also be suffocated.

Now that the situation was critical, she didn't dare to yell, fearing that she would inhale a big mouthful of poisonous smoke if she opened her mouth. Pei Minghui could only lower her body, slowly climbed to the door of the cell, and slapped the door frame heavily, hoping that the lock would The sound of the crash will get the cell head's attention.
