Long Er was a little unhappy, he obviously took a brush and compared the alignment, but he didn't know that it was so difficult to draw eyebrows well. He once peeped at his eldest brother drawing eyebrows for his sister-in-law, so how could it be done in just a few strokes
Long Er wiped off the badly painted eyebrows and started all over again.
Ju Mu'er suddenly smiled: "Sanggong, it turns out that you not only can't play the piano, but you must also be bad at drawing."
Long Er snorted: "I am the best at disciplining my wife, do you want to try?"
Ju Muer quickly shut up. Long Er didn't like it in his heart, so he simply brushed it twice, scribbling and drawing, thinking that he would erase it anyway, so he should practice his posture first.
As a result, it was painted.
Aligned up and down, left and right neat, curved, and detailed. Long Er was overjoyed, and sighed that he really had to paint. He made a mark on Ju Muer's lips and announced loudly: "Okay, the painting is very good."
Ju Muer raised her eyebrows, she really didn't have much confidence. However, it's good when it's over. She should be able to go out to play with Xiaozhu and Bao'er. But Long Er said: "Anyway, I have nothing to do, why don't I help you apply rouge."
Still put on rouge? How could he be so terribly idle? Business gone
Ju Muer jumped up in fright: "Sister!"
"What for?" Long Er was seriously digging through the rouge box.
"Then what, now the news of Guishan County and Dongyang City have also come back. We can think things through, what should we do next?"
"Didn't you just let me deal with the matter after you agreed, can you take care of yourself at ease?"
"Then you have to let me know what the plan is. You didn't tell me every time I asked you. I know that the situation is delicate now. Master Ding is in prison, and Master Yun is in the sky. Although we have figured everything out, we have no idea what to do." There is evidence that can solve the case. If he cuts off all clues like he did to his father-in-law, how should we deal with it?"
Long Er squatted in front of Ju Mu'er, held her hand, and asked softly, "Mu'er, do you believe me?"
"Trust." That's why she didn't get involved, and just obediently took medicine to recuperate every day.
Long Er nodded in satisfaction: "You have to believe in me, and everyone who has hurt you will be punished severely."
"I also want to return my teacher's innocence."
"Okay." That was done by the way, and revenge for his Mu'er is the key point.
Long Er caressed Ju Mu'er's face, the more he looked at it, the more beautiful his eyebrows were. He smiled and was about to speak, but Li Ke's urgent report came from outside: "Second Master, Mr. Fu Yin and Mr. Yun from the Ministry of Punishment have come with officers and soldiers."
Long Er glanced at Ju Muer and asked, "What are you here for?"
"Yes..." Li Ke paused, then stammered, "Yes, I want to take my wife back to try the case."
"A trial?" Ju Mu'er was surprised, "What case is a trial?"
"Trying the case of Mrs. Murder at the Tavern."
The night when the home wine store was destroyed and people were killed was last September. Now, nearly a year has passed, but they are brought up again to talk about things
Surprised and apprehensive, Ju Muer held her cane and followed Long Er to meet Yun Qingxian and Qiu Ruoming.
Governor Qiu Ruoming's face was cloudy, but he still said to Long Er with a firm voice: "September 28, a woman was burned to death in a restaurant at home. The identity is unknown. And the two men arrested in this case, after passing through Strict trial, recently I finally confessed that the second wife of the Long family, Long Jushi, ordered them to kill a woman named Lin Yueyao in the hut in the woods. Unexpectedly, Lin Yueyao realized that she had escaped and rushed into the Jujia wine shop. The two gangsters were afraid Unexpectedly, a few brothers were called to help, but they met the guards of the Long family and fought violently. Lin Yueyao hid in the room of Mrs. Long Er and asked her for help. Unexpectedly, Mrs. took this opportunity to kill her with her own hands. Only then did those major cases of human life come out. The investigation found that Lin Yueyao was first injured by a poison dart, and then stabbed to death twice with a dagger. The murder weapon was the same as the cane used by Mrs. Long Er at that time. , set fire to the house, and destroyed the corpses."
Ju Muer was taken aback when she heard that, how could things be turned upside down
Long Er was furious: "It's nonsense. The gangsters, desperadoes, talk nonsense and confuse right and wrong in order to save their lives. It is clear that they saw no one in the wine shop that day, and wanted to rob the money, but met my guards from the Long family passing by. Get up. The one who died in Mu'er's house was her accomplice female thief. Didn't these adults understand at that time? Mu'er did it for self-protection. She was close to death that day. When I found her, adults also knew , why are you biting back at this moment?"
Qiu Ruoming replied: "Second Lord, those two gangsters have already committed serious crimes of murder. No matter whether they are hired or not, they will be sentenced to death for the crimes they committed. Why did they bother to spout blood?"
Long Er sneered: "You're right to overdo it. Who does my family Mu'er want to make disappear, is it worth paying to hire someone? Are all the manpower, guards, and spies here in my Dragon Mansion dead?"
"Sir, don't talk nonsense." Ju Mu'er shouted at Zong Long Er's indiscretion. Recently, the whole country is strictly investigating criminal cases, and Long Er's nonsense may cause trouble.
Qiu Ruoming coughed twice to remind Long Er to be cautious. He went on to say: "When the crime was committed that day, Mrs. Long was just abandoned by the second master. Do you still remember it? If you think about it seriously, Mrs. Long was helpless in the home bar at that time, and her spirit was also hit. It is very possible to commit something impulsively. What's more, if Lin Yueyao hires a murderer, Mrs. Long Er is blind and can't see, how can she escape? It doesn't make sense, does it?"
"It doesn't make sense, it's the fact. My Mu'er is extremely intelligent, and my lord has seen it before."
Qiu Ruoming didn't seem to hear this, and said again: "I believe that if the Second Lady of the Long Mansion wants to use the manpower of the Long Mansion to do something illegal, she will be reprimanded by the Second Master. So no matter what the situation is, if you want to kill someone, I'm afraid I can only hire outsiders."
Long Er sneered: "Your Excellency is really kind, and you said that I, Long Er, are so law-abiding and upright in managing the family. Dare I ask Your Excellency, are you going to convict my Mu'er just based on the one-sided words of those two little thieves? What is the justice? If it is said that my family Mu'er wants to kill Lin Yueyao, what is the motive?"
Qiu Ruoming said: "It's not that you will be convicted, it's just that there are all the witnesses and evidences. According to the law, you need to ask your wife to go to the government office for interrogation. As for the motive, the two gangsters confessed. They also asked their wife when they were hired, but she was vague. The words were not made clear. The two of them were afraid of getting into trouble, so they secretly observed for two days. It seemed that Miss Lin Yueyao discovered that Mrs. Long Er was carrying a peerless piano score, and this score also involved a incident several years ago. The shocking murder case, but they don't know what it is. Later, the wife seemed to be anxious, so she raised the price. The two people saw that the money was open, and they finally accepted it. Therefore, according to the confession, Mrs. Long Er wanted to silence Only hired murderers."
"Nonsense." Long Er shot Yun Qingxian with his gaze like a knife.
Yun Qingxian's face was frosty, and he kept silent all the time, Long Eryi couldn't see what he was thinking for a while.
"Second Lord." Even though Qiu Ruoming is the government official and came with officers and soldiers, he was still polite to Long Er, "Please rest assured, Second Lord, if Madam is wronged, I will definitely find out the truth and return Madam's innocence. But now, please ask Madam to come with us."
"What if we don't go?" Long Er stood in front of Ju Mu'er with a tough attitude. This is not a matter of asking questions and chatting in the past. A murder suspect will have to go to jail when he arrives at the government office. If you want to find out, you have to find out the matter clearly and find out that you are not guilty.
Manager Tie, Nanny Yu, Feng Wu, and Long San were all there, protecting Ju Muer. The guards and servants of Longfu also surrounded him. How can I let my wife go to the prison
Yun Qingxian still didn't speak, just quietly looked at Ju Muer's pale face with fright.
Qiu Ruoming sighed: "Second Master, I also know that Mrs. Long Er has a special status. Her marriage was handpicked by the Queen Mother, so I dare not act rashly in this situation. Therefore, I reported to the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and handed over the murder weapon, testimony, and case files. All of them have been reported, and the emperor has ordered him to personally approve, so we will come here to invite people." He paused, took two steps forward, lowered his voice and said to Long Er, "If Madam doesn't go, I'm afraid that the whole Dragon Mansion will be destroyed. install."
Ju Muer gasped when she heard this.
"Sanggong." She subconsciously went to look for Long Er's hand. Long Er turned around and held her hand.
"I..." Ju Muer's heart was beating violently, "I'll just go. It's just to confront them. They can't wrong me for something I haven't done." She said without any confidence.
This matter was originally said to be a robbery, which is not too thorough. How can there be a bounty killer who gathers five people to rob a small distillery? It was only at the beginning that the matter was suppressed by Long Er's management. Now it's more reasonable to turn it upside down and turn the matter upside down.
How should we confront each other? How to argue
Unless she tells everything, saying that that person is not Lin Yueyao, but a fake. How did she know? Where is the real Lin Yueyao? Why would someone impersonate Lin Yueyao, and how did she know? Why did the fake Lin Yueyao want to kill her? What is Peerless Piano Score? What about the case from a few years ago? Why did all this happen
Before finding conclusive evidence, it would be a waste of all previous efforts to say these things, especially since this case is still under trial by Yun Qingxian. Ju Muer gritted her teeth, she had a complete speculation, she knew what was going on, but how could she prove it
Once Lin Yueyao is reported, Ya Lili is reported, and the old villagers of Meilin Village are reported... then every insider will encounter danger. There is no physical evidence, no witnesses, how can she prove it
The scorching sun was scorching, but Ju Muer's spine felt chills. How could she cope with the conspiracy to kill the general so unexpectedly
At this moment, a familiar embrace embraced her, and Long Er whispered comfortingly in her ear: "Mu'er, trust me, I will make you safe and sound."
Ju Muer nodded a little helplessly.
Seeing that Long Er seemed to be softening, Qiu Ruoming breathed a sigh of relief, and waved lightly to the policeman. The arrester stepped forward, and was about to arrest Ju Muer with arresting tools, but Long Er stared at him, scaring the arrester back two steps.
"Who dares to touch her!"
No one dared to speak. The fast yamen servant looked at Qiu Ruoming, and the officers and soldiers looked at Yun Qingxian, but neither of them said a word. On the contrary, Long Er turned his head and yelled at the servant: "Prepare the carriage!"
How arrogant!
Qiu Ruoming peeked at Yun Qingxian, his face was livid, and he didn't speak from the beginning to the end.
Long Er took Ju Mu'er into the Longfu carriage, and the horse raised its hooves to send them to the government office.
Along the way, Ju Muer didn't know what to say, so she held Long Er's hand tightly. She was so nervous that her heart was beating wildly, but her mind went through things quickly.
Why falsely accuse her
Why bother with the big case from a few years ago? When it comes to the piano score, it is clearly referring to the case of Shi Zechun. Why
Ju Muer closed her eyes, she couldn't recruit Lin Yueyao, she couldn't recruit Meilin Village, let alone Guishan County, she couldn't say anything. Can't hurt other people.
"Master." Ju Muer squeezed Long Er's hand.
"En." Long Er was speechless all the way, probably thinking about something.
"You think the same as I do, don't you? The two thieves were instigated by others, and all the confessions will be leak-proof. He wants to know what we have got in that case, right?"
"Mu'er, there will be a way."
Ju Muer nodded, and took a deep breath: "I won't say anything, I'm afraid this cell will be settled. But the matter is important, and the case will not be closed too soon. Mr. Gong, don't worry, we will wait again Think about it, if you have time to think about it, there will be a way.”
Long Er didn't speak, just hugged her tightly in his arms.
Everything went as Ju Muer expected, and when she arrived in the Yamen, she was brought up for trial. The confessions of the two thieves were so clear that they even explained how Ju Muer found them, where the deal was negotiated, how they followed her and spied her quarreling with the girl named Lin Yueyao, etc., all of which were clearly explained. No flaws.
Ju Muer just complained, denied all the accusations made against her by the thief, and insisted that she fell asleep that day, and then heard the news of someone attacking at night, so she had no choice but to protect herself and run for her life.
Qiu Ruoming tried the matter of the piano score, and he really mentioned that the big case related to the piano score a few years ago was the case of Shi Zechun's extermination. And Ju Muer and Shi Boyin are both violinists, and Master Ya Lili of the Ximin Guoqin Mission even mentioned that Shi Boyin praised Ju Muer very much. Qiu Ruoming asked Ju Muer and Shi Boyin if they knew each other.
Ju Muer naturally didn't know the answer.
At this time, the two thieves heard that when Ju Muer and Lin Yueyao were arguing, Lin Yueyao once scolded Ju Muer as an accomplice, murderer, etc. Ju Muer said again that there was absolutely no such thing.
The two sides were deadlocked, and there was no conclusion for a while. But on the bright side, Ju Muer was not only related to the murder case at the home tavern, but also involved in the case of Shi Zechun a few years ago. Qiu Ruoming looked embarrassed, he looked at Yun Qingxian, and announced that Ju Mu'er would be temporarily detained in the cell for trial later.
No one in the hall spoke. Long Er didn't speak from the beginning to the end, and Ju Muer's refutation was all up to him, but he just stared at Yun Qingxian, and Yun Qingxian stared at Ju Muer.
It seems that Qiu Ruoming is the only one who is serious about handling the case.
After he announced that he would put Ju Mu'er in prison, Long Er said that he would go to the cell first to have a look.
have a look? The cell looks like that, what's there to see
But Yun Qingxian didn't object, and Qiu Ruoming naturally didn't object either. A group of people went to the cell to "take a look".
Qiu Ruoming took care of Ju Mu'er, and arranged for her a single cell in the back, with windows for ventilation. As far as a cell is concerned, this cell is fairly clean.
But Long Er was dissatisfied, he waved his hand, and the servants of the Long family started to work immediately. They cleaned the room, put in new mattresses, put in new quilts, put up the bedposts, and put up the bed nets. The screen was blocked, and the night barrel was put on. There is a small shelf next to it, with small basins, cloth towels and other toiletries.
While they were busy, Qiu Ruoming turned to look at Yun Qingxian. Yun Qingxian watched with a livid face, but still didn't speak. He didn't make a sound, Qiu Ruoming didn't stop him, and went with Long's house.
After a lot of busy work, the small cell was tidied up. Although there are not many things, but because the room is small, it looks full. Long Er led Ju Mu'er in, took her to touch the location, and then said to Qiu Ruoming, "Mu'er is not in good health and needs to take medicine for recuperation. My servant will bring her the medicine regularly. There are three more We will also prepare the drinking water by ourselves, so you can concentrate on investigating the case and find out the truth as soon as possible, so you don't have to worry about these trivial matters."
Qiu Ruoming opened his mouth, but before he could speak, Long Er said again: "I'm afraid my Mu'er will be poisoned to death here." He glanced at Yun Qingxian when he said this.
Yun Qingxian ignored him.
Long Er ignored him, turned to Ju Mu'er and said, "Don't be afraid, I'll be here with you tonight."
Ju Muer bit her lip and nodded in a panic. She had imagined all kinds of encounters, but she really didn't expect that one day she would taste the taste of prison. She couldn't explain, she was at a loss, and she didn't know who were around, she was really afraid.
She sat by the bed and held Long Er's hand tightly.
At this time, Yun Qingxian finally said: "This is a prison, a place where prisoners are held. Second Master Long thought this was your other courtyard, so he can live here if he wants?"
Long Er smiled coldly, patted the back of Ju Muer's hand, and let go of her hand. Then he turned around, and without saying a word, he punched Yun Qingxian in the face.
Yun Qingxian dodged and dodged, but Long Er didn't pursue, but smashed a prison door with his backhand. Everyone didn't expect him to act like this, and they all watched in surprise. After finishing the beating, Long Er said to Qiu Ruoming: "I attacked the imperial court official, and made a scene in the government's cell. Why should I be sent to prison for punishment?"
This time Qiu Ruoming didn't look at Yun Qingxian's face anymore, he just said: "Second Lord, let's rest earlier." After saying that, he asked the jailer to watch carefully, and then he took his subordinates out.
Before Yun Qingxian left, he stared at Long Er, who also stared at him. The two looked at each other for a long time, and finally Yun Qingxian turned and left.
Walking to the prison door, I heard Ju Muer whispering to Long Er: "What's wrong?"
Long Er replied: "It's nothing, it's just Master Yun and I were looking at each other. He thought I would like him after seeing him for a long time, but I didn't."
Yun Qingxian paused when he heard that, and almost gritted his teeth. In such a situation, Long Er still has the heart to make fun of him
Yun Qingxian returned to the Ministry of Criminal Justice, took the file of Ju Muer's case to read, and did not return home all night.
