Crazy criticizes the regent for reading my mind and his character collapses

Chapter 86
"Zhang Captou likes Guan Wanyun?" Nan Xi was shocked. What shocked her even more was: "Wen Ying, why do you seem to know everything?"

Wen Ying was sitting on the corridor next to her. She lay back and put one leg up, with her knees curled up. She looked a bit free and informal, which was hard not to like.

"Because I did some research before I came to report. I always want to know who is there in the place where I will work in the future."

Nan Xi sat opposite her, "What about the customs officer getting married? How did you know about it?"

Wen Ying smiled: "This matter has been spread all over the capital now, and Guan Wanyun, who thinks she is the only daughter of the Guan Mansion, probably doesn't know yet."

The two chatted for a while and then went to the dining hall.

All the people who work in the yamen have lunch here, only about a dozen people in total.

Nan Xi and Wen Ying both introduced themselves, and everyone was very enthusiastic.

Some helped them get food, and some helped them serve soup.

"Thank you."

"You're welcome, our government office finally has a girl, and there are two of them."

"Miss Nan, you and Wen Ying sit here. It's far from the door and out of the wind." Someone offered their seats to them.

Nan Xi: "Just call me by my name."

There was nothing I could do. Even Tang Qingqing called her 'Miss Nan' before, so the people below didn't dare to go out of their way and could only follow the call. Now that Nan Xi himself has spoken, they are happy to change their tune.

As they chatted, their topic turned to the case again.

"Nan Xi, did Caiying really commit suicide?" someone asked.

Nan Xi nodded: "Judging from the autopsy results, this is indeed the case."

"Oh! Fortunately, Miss Guan Er is willing to pay for her burial, so she can be buried in peace." A government servant next to him said with emotion.

Nan Xi and Wen Ying looked at each other and said nothing in a tacit understanding.

Before the meal was finished, someone was beating drums to complain.

Zhang Captou ordered everyone to gather.

Wen Ying's movements were neither hasty nor slow, but he happened to come faster than the others.

Nan Xi took a look and felt that Wen Ying was not simple.

"Nan Wuzuo, you go too, the people who come to complain are bringing corpses." Zhang Captou said.

Nan Xi followed him to the front hall, where he saw a kneeling man wearing sackcloth and mourning. Next to him was a two-wheeled cart with a corpse covered with white cloth.

"Please make the decision for the women of the country!" The woman wearing sackcloth and wearing mourning bowed her head heavily.

And there was actually a sleeping child on her back.

Tang Jingkong took a look at it, but did not slap the alarm. He just asked in a deep voice: "Who kneeled down? Who did you accuse? Why did you bring the body to the court?"

"A civilian woman, Yang Huaihua, sued Zhang Fuyin, the deputy captain of the capital, for abandoning his wife and son. She was so angry that her mother was so angry. Next to her was the civilian woman's mother-in-law, Zhang Fuyin's biological mother."

Nan Xi's pupils trembled slightly.

Sophora japonica?
Isn’t that Granny Zhang’s daughter-in-law?
She walked over quickly and lifted a corner of the white cloth on the body.

Sure enough, it was Granny Zhang.

"Sir, this subordinate recognizes them." Nan Xi said.

When Yang Huaihua heard the familiar voice, she looked up suddenly. When she saw it was Nan Xi, tears suddenly flowed from her eyes.

"Miss Nan..." Nan Xi could see the sadness in her eyes and asked, "How did Granny Zhang die?"

Yang Huaihua's voice was choked with sobs: "Yes... I was pissed to death."

She had always treated her mother-in-law like her biological mother and was very filial, but she didn't expect that the yin and yang were suddenly separated.

After Nan Xi reported it to Tang Xingxing, he asked the government officials to carry Granny Zhang's body to the morgue.

Wen Ying was sent by Zhang Baotou to attack Nan Xi.

"I originally thought about going to see them in two days, but I didn't expect it to happen now..." Although Nan Xi had experienced many life-and-death farewells, he still couldn't help but be touched in his heart.

"I heard from Granny Zhang that her son was captured and made into a young man, and then there was no news. He was probably killed in battle," Nan Xi said while conducting an autopsy.

Wen Ying stood aside, "But according to Yang Huaihua, Granny Zhang's son should not be dead, and he should have been promoted?"

The matter was a bit complicated, and there was no way to make a conclusion yet. Nan Xi was focused on Granny Zhang's body, and finally determined that she was really mad to death.

In the court, Nan Xi presented the autopsy results to Tang Qingqing, and then stood beside him with Wen Ying.

Tang Jingkong read it over and asked Yang Huaihua: "Do you know what the consequences will be if the people sue the officials?"

Yang Huaihua has made up her mind and has a firm gaze: "A civilian woman knows that no matter what the final result is, she will have to fight again, but a civilian woman is not afraid and has no regrets."

Tang Jingjing glanced at the child who was still sleeping on her back, and sighed inwardly, "For the sake of you still having a child, remember these twenty pieces first. Now tell me why you sued the deputy captain of Gyeonggi Province." Zhang Fuyin?"

Yang Huaihua kowtowed again: "Thank you, sir."

Then he continued: "Zhang Fuyin is the husband of a civilian woman. He went to join the army three years ago and never came back. My mother-in-law thought that he must have died in the battle. She was so sad that she couldn't afford it until the civilian woman gave birth to her son. Only then did we have spiritual sustenance. A few days ago, Miss Nan went to our village for free medical treatment. By chance, she mentioned the matter of supplies. The woman and mother-in-law were very surprised because we had never received any supplies. The villagers in the village started to count. One person from each family went to the army to ask for it, but I didn't expect that the person who came out to deal with the matter was my husband who had been buried in a tomb a long time ago!"

Tang Jingkong frowned, as it involved the military, he was afraid that he alone would not be able to take charge of this case.

"Come, please go and invite Mr. Zhang, the deputy captain of the capital."

"Yes." Zhang Baotou led two government officials forward.

Soon, they returned without success.

Zhang Captou cupped his hands and said, "Your Excellency, Mr. Zhang said that the army is very busy and has no time to deal with trivial matters."

In fact, what Zhang Fuyin said was even more extreme than this, but it was difficult for Zhang Captou to relay it in front of so many people.

Tang Jingjing also understood that the other party did not want to come, but if he did not come, the case would not be able to continue to trial.

Nan Xi stepped forward, "Sir, why don't you let me try?"

Tang Jingjing's eyes lit up, "Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, well, Miss Nan, please go ahead and let..."

Tang Jingkong looked around and finally fixed his eyes on Wen Ying: "Wen Ying, you come with her."

Wen Ying cupped his hands and said, "Yes, sir."

Zhang Captou was dissatisfied. After Nan Xi and Wen Ying went out, he looked at Tang Qingqing: "Sir, my subordinates failed to invite Master Zhang under your banner. What's the use of letting two women go?"

He is a straight-tempered person who says whatever he has to say. All dissatisfaction is displayed on his face, making it difficult for people to ignore it.

Tang Qingqing was confident, "Miss Nan can definitely invite people here."

At the military camp outside the city, Nan Xi and Wen Ying were stopped as soon as they arrived at the door.

The person on duty today did not recognize Nan Xi and shouted: "Who is he? Do you know what the crime is for breaking into the military camp without permission?"

Wen Ying: "I am Jingzhao Yin's police officer. I am here to ask Deputy Captain Zhang Fuyin and Sir Zhang to come over on your orders."
