"Who is kneeling in the hall?"

When Wang Zhihai waited for Pu Suzhen to kneel down, a gavel shocked the entire court into silence.

"Pu Suzhen, a criminal woman, has met the official."

"Pu Suzhen, the death of the Xiao family in the Qiu Mansion eight years ago has anything to do with you?"

"Her death is what I did."

"How did you murder her, and tell me in detail!"

Wang Zhihai patted the gavel again, except for Pu Suzhen, everyone in the hall was frightened again.

"At the beginning, my father was convicted and imprisoned, and committed suicide in prison..."

What happened more than ten years ago, Pu Suzhen recalled it now, as if it happened yesterday.

"Qian Miao, Madam has not received a letter for two months, and even the monthly deliveries have been cut off. I am really worried. Now that Feifei is getting older, why don't we go back to Chang'an to have a look."

Pu Suzhen said to Qianmiao very worriedly.This is so abnormal, mother's letters have never been interrupted for no reason like this since she returned to Silla.

Some bad feelings spread from her heart.

"it is good."

Qianmiao has followed Pu Suzhen to Silla for some years, and although she and Su Yuer often exchange letters, Chang'an is her hometown after all.When she heard that Pu Suzhen wanted to go back to Chang'an, she immediately nodded in agreement without even thinking about it.

That night, the two packed their bags.On the second day, they bid farewell to the nurse Jiang Shi, and the two of them took Pu Feifei to board the sea boat back to Datang.

But when Pu Suzhen returned to the door of the Pu Mansion in Chang'an City, she was stunned by the scene in front of her.

The gate of the house, which was originally clean and tidy, is now filthy, and the red paint on the gate is covered with dust and loses its color.Qian Miao went forward and knocked on the door for a long time, but no servant came out to respond.

"What the hell... happened?"

Pu Suzhen gave up on entering the mansion through the main entrance. She led the child, called Qianmiao, and walked quickly to the side gate of Pu's mansion.

The side door was a little open, and it looked like it had forgotten to latch it.Although Pu Suzhen was glad that she didn't have to climb over the wall to get in, doubts arose in her heart.

"What's going on here? When did Pu Mansion become like this..."

It can only be described with the word "wretched".

They entered the side door and ran all the way to the residence of Pu Suzhen's parents.But the scene in front of her shocked Pu Suzhen, this...how did the family become like this?

The garden that was originally full of flowers and plants is now only left with dead branches and leaves.The sundries were scattered on the ground, the railings and the ceiling of the corridor seemed to have not been cleaned for a long time, and there were so many dusts and cobwebs on them that even the wind brought by them when they walked by could shake them down.Only the messy muddy footprints stepped on the floor prove that someone has been here recently.

"My lady, what's going on?" Qianmiao was dumbfounded.

Pu Suzhen didn't care to answer her, she was more worried about her parents' safety now.

"Lady? Aye?"

I didn't see a single servant along the way, what's going on?

Pu Suzhen was so panicked that she couldn't hold back anymore, she handed Feifei to Qianmiao's hands, and rushed to the direction of Mrs. Cui's room first.

When she was about to walk, the faint coughing sound from the room indicated that there was someone inside.Pu Suzhen heaved a sigh of relief, and walked two steps into Mrs. Cui's room.

But the scene in front of her made her gasp.

His own mother, Mrs. Cui, was lying sickly on the bed, with thin cheeks, sunken eye sockets, and pale lips. She looked like a skeleton.

And beside her, a servant who looked only in his early ten years old was rummaging through boxes and chests looking for something.Under his feet are all the fabrics and odds and ends that he dug out.

"Who are you! Who allowed you to trespass here? Why don't you retreat quickly?"

Pu Suzhen shouted angrily, the servant didn't expect that there was someone behind him, but was frightened and froze.

But when he looked back and saw Pu Suzhen was the only woman, he regained his composure just now.

"I just want to ask who are you? Are you here to ask for wages like me?"

"Ask for wages?"

Pu Suzhen frowned suspiciously, staring at the servant, waiting for him to continue.

"Nonsense! How much money does Park owe to outsiders? Before that, people came to carry things every day. I advise you to do it as soon as possible. I searched here for a long time, but I didn't find any valuables. I guess they were all taken away." ..."

The servant only thought that Pu Suzhen was just a debt collector just like him, so he turned around and picked up the little pile of rubbish.

"You...what nonsense are you talking about!"

Pu Suzhen was in a hurry.Glancing left and right, she spotted a bolt standing against the wall, and she seized it to strike at the servant.

"Ah! What are you doing! Ah..."

After all, the servant was younger than Pu Suzhen, so he couldn't stand her beating like that, so he jumped up immediately.

"Crazy woman! I reminded you kindly, but you dared to hit me! You wait, I'll call someone here, and I'll make you go all the way!"

Pu Suzhen snorted coldly: "I'm still afraid of you? Is there any law in Chang'an City? Call it if you have the guts! I want to see who dares to touch me!"

"Wang Fa?"

The servant couldn't help laughing when he heard the word out of her mouth.

"Anyone can talk about Wang Fa, but it's hard to talk about it in the Pu Mansion!"

Pu Suzhen was confused by the servant's words, and the wooden stick in her hand stopped.

"What do you mean?"

Looking at her appearance, the servant knew that she might not be a creditor of the Pu family, but more like a relative or friend who was familiar with the Pu family.He suddenly felt that he was superior to others in front of Pu Suzhen, so he couldn't help but straighten his waist, stand up straight, and pointed to Pu Suzhen's nose solemnly.

"The Patriarch of your Pu Mansion sold fake ginseng and poisoned the Patriarch of Shanchun Hall, the No. [-] Medical Center in Chang'an, to death! Tell me, what kind of king's law is this?! You Pu's Mansion still want to teach the king's law? Do you deserve it?"

Pu Suzhen was completely dumbfounded.

What is he saying?Ayer selling fake ginseng?Killed someone?Or Qiu Qianzhan's father?The Patriarch of the Qiu Mansion?
"Bah! If the Pu family didn't still owe me wages, I would really..."

What the servant babbled about next, couldn't reach Pu Suzhen's ears.She was already dizzy from the shock of this news, and her head was buzzing, just repeating over and over again:

--fraud!fraud!fraud!
She raised the wooden stick in her hand again, her eyes were wide open, and there was a bloodthirsty look in her eyes that was not there before.

"Bastard, you spout blood!"

"You! You... what do you want to do?" The servant was so frightened by the woman who suddenly looked like a ghost in front of him that his legs went limp.He backed away again and again until he exited the door of the room.

"I... Let me tell you, I also have a backer..."

"Snapped!"

The wooden stick was thrown towards the servant without warning.

"Killed!..."

Pu Suzhen still wanted to rush out and continue to kill that guy, but the continuous coughing sound behind her made her wake up suddenly.

She turned to look at Mrs. Cui behind her.
