Chapter 49 Human Heart
Chu Wei was not surprised at all by Aunt Fu's retort. He chuckled softly and said, "Just now, I have said that to try this case, we need to start from the Chenzhou Ping Dynasty 12 years ago. Quasi warehouse theft case investigated."

"Twelve years ago, the then Magistrate of Chenzhou was now the most powerful official in the Ministry of Civil Affairs. The deceased in the first case was Bai Hezhu, whose real name was Jiang Shushan. He was Cao Tongzhi's staff at the time. At the same time, he was also a member of Cao Tongzhi's mother's family. A distant cousin. The deceased in the second case seemed to be just a servant girl, but at the time she was a confidant that Mrs. Cao valued most. Her name was Mo Ju."

As he spoke, he turned around and looked at Lady Xiaozhu, who was kneeling there with her head bowed.

"According to my investigation, this maid named Mo Ju is highly valued by the Cao family and her husband because she has good soup-making skills."

Following Chu Wei's endless narrations, Mrs. Xiaozhu lost the strength to stand upright and kneel upright, as if she was only a straw away from crushing her.

Aunt Fu next to her had her hands on the ground, beads of sweat dripping from her forehead, and she was clenching her teeth unconsciously.

After Chu Wei finished speaking, he slowly stopped beside Aunt Fu again.

"This lady's surname is indeed Fu. I wonder what her name is specifically?"

Chu Wei lightly lifted the hem of his clothes, squatted next to her, and was level with Aunt Fu, and asked gently and tenderly.

However, Aunt Fu trembled like a shudder, not daring to look at Chu Wei, and the fine beads of sweat gathered into the size of soybeans.

"I, I," she stumbled and couldn't say anything.

The officer holding the killing stick shouted "Mighty", and the frightened Aunt Fu fell to the side.

The young man squatting leisurely next to him had an aura that was like a solid mountain, pressing down from above his head.

Aunt Fu's face was already pale, but under such a threatening aura, she had to speak and said: "Old, I am Fu Congju."

"Fu Congju." Chu Wei said loudly, flinging his robe and standing up, "The original name was Fu Dahua. 23 years ago, there was a severe drought in Dongchang Prefecture, and there was no harvest in the thousands of miles of red land. You fled with your family, and on the way to Runing Prefecture , was bought by the Jiang family, and has been serving in the back kitchen of the Cao Mansion. In the eyes of the master, you are just a servant with no status. "

"But you have always been grateful to Mr. Jiang for saving his life. On this day, the Cao Mansion was ransacked, all the men were thrown into jail, and the women were sold into official prostitutes. Your chance to repay your kindness finally came,"

Chu Wei didn't finish his narration. After hearing this, Aunt Fu couldn't bear it anymore. She covered her ears with her hands and cried, "Sir, please, stop talking."

"Then you admit that you are a servant of Cao Mansion?"

Fu Congju nodded, "Admit it, I admit it. On the [-]th and [-]th, those two nights, the lady was not here. She had been planning for revenge for more than ten years, and she killed those three people."

"Are you crazy?" Mrs. Xiaozhu shouted in surprise: "You want to admit that there is no shadow, and why do you accuse me of Miss Cao?"

Fu Congju turned around and kowtowed, with tears on her face. While kowtowing, she said: "Miss, I'm sorry. But I'm even more sorry for my daughter. Only now do I know what kind of life she has been living. I can’t hide it for you anymore.”

In fact, she regretted it after using her own daughter to replace the host's young lady.

But she kept telling herself that she had to be kind and righteous in order to stop thinking about her obedient daughter who obeyed her words and left with the officers and soldiers in her place.

"I often hear that Ruiming Hou Chu is an expert in solving cases, but I didn't expect that he is so good at making up stories." Mrs. Xiaozhu glared at Aunt Fu fiercely. When she raised her head and looked at Chu Wei, her eyes were filled with unwillingness to accept.

Chu Wei said: "Your case is your case. I have key evidence about the theft of Pingquan warehouse back then. I can ask the emperor for a retrial. Are you sure you won't admit it?"

What key evidence?

Twelve years have passed, and the dead have turned into bones. Even if there was any evidence, it would have been swept away by those who framed my father.

Madam Xiaozhu said: "I don't know what Mr. Chu means? The theft case you mentioned has never been heard of by my family."

Chu Wei, who has always been gentle, smiled coldly and said: "You are really tough. It seems that the Cao family is the scapegoat who was pushed out for a reason. Nine points of falsehood and one part of truth, when mixed together, it becomes the truth It couldn't be truer. It's a pity, a pity."

Behind the screen, the third prince became impatient and whispered to Emperor Xining: "Father, what are Wei'er talking about? If you want to try the tongue pulling case, just try the tongue pulling case, keep talking about the theft of the warehouse. What to do?"

Emperor Xining picked up his teacup, took a sip slowly, and said, "Are you guilty?"

The third prince smiled in panic and said calmly: "Father, what are you talking about? I don't have a son."

"What do you mean by nine points of falsehood and one of truth?" Outside, Mrs. Xiaozhu couldn't bear it anymore and asked, "Is it possible that among the clues master Chu has, the Cao family really took advantage of the disaster relief food?"

Only then did Chu Wei take the main seat, sit behind the public case, arrange the papers on the table, and asked casually: "Cao Ruo, don't you still admit your identity?"

"I..." Madam Xiaozhu was about to say something when Zhang Ku walked in hurriedly and went straight to the main courtroom. He covered his lips with one hand and said in a low voice: "My lord, it's not good. There has been another robbery in Qingyun Lane." Tongue Case.”

Chu Wei frowned, and then heard the subordinate gasp and add: "Fortunately, the new girl reminded us that our people found out in advance that there was no dead person."

Chu Wei then asked: "Who was killed?"

Zhang Ku looked like he didn't know what to say, "The head of Qian Fatang, Zhang Zhiyuan. The one who did it was his maid named Lan Niang."

"Lanniang?" Chu Wei repeated, his eyebrows suddenly clear, "I understand. If Zhang Zhiyuan can still go to court, bring him with him."

Lady Xiaozhu, who was kneeling below, could only faintly hear a few words. She felt uneasy as she watched Zhang Ku coming and leaving in a hurry.

----

Xin Nuo didn't know what kind of earthquake occurred in the court after the end of this case, which was jointly tried by the three judicial departments from the morning to the afternoon.

She had a great time playing on Luming Lake, and even went to the second senior brother's large boat and had a delicious meal.

The second senior brother was living a luxurious and comfortable life these days. Even one of his boat tours on the lake was accompanied by a chef with excellent skills. Xinnuo regretted setting him up with Cheng Xueyao.

As the sun set, Cheng Xueyao, who had acted like a half-master throughout the whole process, stood up and said goodbye to Yuan Chen.
