The Zhang family in Shuanghu is a well-deserved top family. The three-bedroom house of the eldest son is connected, almost occupying the entire West City. The neighbors in the neighborhood are all relatives of the family. The number is even more dazzling.
"That bitch Liu Piaopiao wants the lives of our whole family..."
Sitting in the middle of the mansion, the princess said coldly: "Our family has been ministers for many generations. Anyone who wants to move our family has to weigh it. But now the three parties are all involved. Once the source is found to be implicated with our family, don't say anything." If you fall out of favor, you will definitely be beheaded all over the house!"
"Hiss~"
The dozens of men in the Zhang family gasped, and the faces of the three older brothers turned pale.
"master!"
A housekeeper suddenly rushed in and said urgently: "It's not good, the son-in-law led people to dig the tombs of Zhou Xiaolin and Miss Zhou, and there was an empty coffin in the tomb, and the officers and soldiers have taken all of Zhou's family!"
"What? How could it be an empty coffin..."
Dozens of members of the Zhang family stood up abruptly, and the housekeeper said anxiously: "I don't even know the villain, there is not even a single piece of clothing in the coffin, only a small hole was dug out by a mouse, and even if the corpse is cheated, we can't get out. This time, the Zhou family will suffer misfortune!"
"Wait!"
The Crown Princess was puzzled and said: "Although the Zhou family is our family's in-laws, they can't copy our family if they are copied all over the house, let alone what can an empty coffin mean?"
"Didn't Fourth Master Hong marry her..."
The housekeeper hesitated and said: "Someone saw the two deceased young masters often going to private meetings with her in the vegetable garden of the nunnery. The rumors are very harsh. Now the two young masters have cheated the corpse, and Miss Zhou is dead. If Miss Zhou comes out What kind of monster, it will definitely implicate our family in the end!"
"Zhang Hongru! When did you marry Miss Zhou? Why don't I know..."
The Crown Princess pointed at her eldest nephew, Zhang Hongru said in a panic, "It's just the second lady, I dare not disturb my aunt Fengjia, both of her parents died of illness last year, she felt unlucky and went to the nunnery to practice on her behalf, she never wanted to come back I couldn't get sick again, and died within half a month!"
"My lord! The son-in-law has arrived..."
A servant came to report in a hurry, and the princess hurriedly picked up the phoenix robe and led the crowd to a trot.
It was already time to light the lanterns, and when the family came to the front yard, they saw Zhao Guanren leading people in, and Ye Jier, Ji Xiaoshou and others also came.
"Crown princess!"
Ye Jier said loudly with a gloomy face: "It happens that your whole family is here, so tell me clearly where Zhou Xiaolin's body has gone. Don't even think about eating if you don't know!"
"..."
The Zhang family didn't even dare to fart. Changdiji's words were already very murderous, but Yuan Laosan gloated and said, "Crown princess! I don't think you should go back to the East Palace, the prince will have to be kicked out anyway." Come out, your family really knows how to play!"
"Hmph~ Those who clean up clean themselves! It's definitely not our family's doing..."
The concubine stared at him with a livid face. Zhao Guanren led the crowd directly to the big garden. The Zhou family was just a small family in decline, and there were only about twenty people including the slaves. Dozens of lanterns were installed for lighting.
"Elders, sit down, there is nothing left in the horoscope, it's just a routine question..."
After Zhao Guanren sat on the case, he was full of smiles, and the word "elder" immediately gave the Zhang family confidence. He is the brother-in-law of the crown princess, so he is a family member, not to mention Zheng Yijian winked quietly, and the older generation of the Zhang family flocked. Sit down and straighten your back.
"Who is Zhang Hongru? Where is your wife's body..."
Zhao Guanren lit a cigarette and looked around, Zhang Hongru hurriedly stepped forward and bowed his hands, his handsome face was already extremely ugly.
"My son-in-law! I don't even know..."
Zhang Hongru said with a pale face: "I saw her being nailed in the coffin with my own eyes. The servant girls and servants were all present at the time. I was afraid that her death would be unclean, and the plague would harm the family.
People, after entering the coffin, they ordered people to carry them to the burial, and they didn't dare to delay for a moment! "
"Oh? How can you die uncleanly? I never heard that female tuberculosis is also contagious..."
Yuan Laosan picked up the tea bowl and interjected, people from the three forces sat in a row, Ye Jier looked at him strangely, this guy actually sat behind the big table in the middle, and everyone else became him Zhao Guanren sat on the side instead.
"Cough! Spit blood..."
Zhang Hongru said: "The whole house can prove that she coughed so badly that the servants wore masks when restraining themselves. We can only follow the epidemic prevention regulations and bury her as soon as possible!"
"Master Zhang! Zhou Xiaolin is your second wife, right..."
Yuan Laosan put down the tea bowl and said, "Go and call all the funeral attendants, as well as your concubine, Zhou Xiaolin's maids, and bring them to me. Ten guards will follow him. Anyone who dares to run will interrupt." whose legs!"
"The officer obeys!"
Zhang Hongru hurriedly led the people there, and Ye Ji'er said strangely: "Master Yuan! Do you want to take over as the presiding judge for the son-in-law?"
"Why not? The son-in-law and the princess are related by marriage, so we should avoid suspicion..."
Yuan Laosan sneered and said: "The same! Chang Diji and Han Wang should also avoid suspicion. You two are extrajudicially favored if you can listen in. Don't talk too much anymore. Come on! Take care of the second room of the Zhang family, and the rest Everyone waits to be driven out!"
"yes!"
The guards immediately divided into two groups, escorting the second room of the Zhang family while driving away the rest of the people. Seeing that Zhao Guanren was drinking tea and not talking, the crown princess could only stand by and worry. Fortunately, the guards did not dare to drive her away. Come down and be a witness.
"Come here! Each of the Zhou family hits 20 big boards. I think they will recruit or not..."
Yuan Laosan slammed the bowl cover to the ground, and the Zhou family was immediately pressed to the ground and beaten, and the cry became loud. When Zhang Hongru brought a group of people in, everyone was terrified. Even more scared to shrink back.
"Just in time!"
Yuan Laosan grinned and said, "Zhang Hongru! You are an official, I won't beat you for the time being, but I will drag all the women behind me, press them on the stools according to the rules of the yamen, take off their trousers, and give each of them 20 slaps!"
"Ridiculous! Why did they do anything wrong, why did you beat them..."
Ye Jier slapped the table angrily, but Yuan Laosan sneered: "Fabricating a murder case! Murdering a good family! Zhang Hongru is also a capital crime if the body poison is not found, and the conspirators will be punished with the same crime. Shouldn't I be punished? And let me remind you again." Once again, you are not qualified to interrupt!"
"Okay! Yuan Laosan, you are very capable, Benji will see how you interrogate today..."
Ye Ji'er folded her arms angrily, and now all the female family members of the Zhang family were blown up. It's not a big deal to beat twenty big boards, but they stripped their pants and spanked their butts in public. They knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.
"If you don't want to take off your pants, tell the truth, where is Zhou Xiaolin's body..."
Yuan Laosan picked up the tea bowl and threw it on the ground. A servant girl climbed up and cried, "My lord! Someone stole my young lady's body. I am the young lady's dowry maid. things, put them into the coffin, there is no way there is nothing in the coffin!"
"Where is the guardian of the tomb?"
Yuan Laosan yelled again, and the two old couples hurriedly climbed up and said in a trembling voice, "My lord! I have been guarding the tomb for the Zhang family for more than 20 years, and I will definitely not do the work of digging the grave." Besides, we have a few big dogs, if someone dares to rob the tomb, the big dogs will jump up and bite!"
"fart!
Yuan Laosan slapped the table fiercely and shouted: "Could it be that the corpses will fly by themselves? I will beat them all hard!"
"grown ups!"
A man hurriedly stepped forward and shouted: "The villain was one of the coffin-bearers that day. We often do funeral affairs for various governments. No matter how light the deceased is, the deceased must weigh dozens of catties, but Second Grandma's coffin is so heavy."
It was so light, we felt like empty coffins! "
"Crap!"
Zhang Hongru said angrily: "You nailed the coffin with your own hands that day, don't you know if there is any corpse, and you are here to grab and bite randomly, what is your intention?"
"Master Hong! The villain is just telling the truth..."
The man who carried the coffin clasped his hands and said, "You didn't invite the coffin to come for the autopsy. After nailing the coffin, you said that you would wait for an auspicious time before leaving. So I rested in the courtyard for more than half an hour. I don't know what happened here, but After lifting the coffin, it is obviously much lighter!"
"Okay! Zhang Hongru, you are so bold and reckless, you dare to bury your life privately..."
Yuan Laosan suddenly turned his head and clasped his fists and said, "Master Ernan, the emperor allows me to kill first and then play. I suggest that such a lawless lunatic should be dismissed from his official position first, and then beat him up. I am not afraid that he will be dishonest." , what do you think?"
"Master Yuan is in charge..."
Ji Xiaoshou nodded expressionlessly, Yuan Laosan immediately asked Zhang Hongru to be dragged out, and soon the screams rang out from outside the courtyard, and the princess was terrified when he heard it.
"The pallbearers are fine, you stand aside..."
Yuan Laosan raised his head and said: "The rest of the people have something to explain. If there is no one, they will all take off their pants and beat them twenty times. Zhou Hongru's wives and concubines are thirty each, and Zhou Xiaolin's maid, dragged Go to the county government to ride a wooden donkey, and then cut him alive in public!"
"My lord, please forgive me! I will say everything..."
The servant girl crawled over like shit, and said in a trembling voice: "My lady went to the nunnery not to practice, but to hide in peace. The second master picks up, picks up ashes, and often asks the young master to go to Beijing to do business, and secretly humiliates my lady. My lady is Miscarriage bled to death!"
"Ha~ What a scholarly family, a family of ashes..."
Yuan Laosan looked at the Crown Princess sarcastically, and the Crown Princess' face turned green from anger, but Yuan Laosan slammed the table again and asked loudly, "Where did the corpse go and where was it hidden?"
"I don't know!"
The maid sobbed and said, "My lady's life is miserable, and there are not many people who come to pay homage to her. On the contrary, Sixth Master Gui and Young Master Zhou stayed in the mourning hall, but when we went to see the spirit off, they didn't come with us. It is suspected that they stole the corpse!"
Yuan Laosan asked: "What are they stealing corpses for? Do you have an affair with your young lady?"
"No! In fact, my young lady has already betrothed to someone..."
The maid cried: "But Fifth Master Hong coveted my young lady's beauty, so he used his power to force her to withdraw the engagement, but the young lady has always cared about that person, and when she learned that the other party died of depression, she often said that it would be good if she could be buried with him after death." , it may be that Sixth Master Gui is kind enough to help her fulfill her last wish!"
"Who is that man's name and where is he buried..."
Yuan Laosan stood up in surprise, and the servant girl said, "Young Master Xu, he was buried under a pagoda tree on Baiyangpo outside the city!"
"You lead the way, let's dig that kid's grave..."
Yuan Laosan was as excited as if he had been beaten with chicken blood, and Ye Jier and the others hurried out, but Zhao Guanren was the only one sitting in his seat drinking tea.
The princess was stunned for a moment and asked: "Yun... my son-in-law! Why don't you say a word, can't you just sit and watch the bitch frame my family?"
"The corpse cannot be outside the city. If the corpse is found outside the city, it means that this is a well-designed trap, and your family will be in big trouble..."
Zhao Guanren said: "If I speak for you without evidence, others will think that we are in the same party, so I can't let me handle this case. No matter how beautiful the case is, they will doubt it. Yuan Laosan is the most suitable candidate. We And watch!"
"Then you have to help me, Yunxuan..."
The concubine was already crying, and Zhao Guanren said in a low voice: "If it's just a palace fight against you, I can keep your family safe, but if it's a plot against the Ye family to usurp the throne, the emperor may be squeezed out, and I The drama we have been waiting for has begun!"
