The herbal medicine of peasant doctors and women fills the garden

Chapter 81 Grandma Liu (4)
"No." Liu Xiangsheng refused straight away, but still insisted, "I said it couldn't be Miss Yao, so it wouldn't be her. Aunt Jin, you don't need to say any more, go take care of your second brother."

Master Liu Er stood aside and kept looking at Aunt Jin with his eyes. Seeing that she was still so beautiful after so many years, he rolled his Adam's apple, and said in a friendly voice, "Xiangsheng, although this Jin Mudan is the nanny of our Liu family , but you were also raised by a young general, you can be regarded as your half mother, now that you have grown up and your wings are stiff, how dare you resist and retort? Hmph, you really are a white-eyed wolf!"

Yao Shanbao originally planned to stand by the side all the time and be an outsider quietly, but now that the topic is on her, she feels that she should show her attitude.

Yao Shanbao took a step forward, squinted his eyes slightly and said with a smile, "Young Master Liu, since Aunt Jin said that Xiulian did not lie, it means that she did see me that night? So I asked Aunt Jin to go to the yamen, and we will go to court together. In this way, firstly, I can prove my innocence, and secondly, it will also help the two murder cases in your residence. So why not Mr. Liu?"

Liu Xiangsheng turned his head to look at Yao Shanbao, still a little reluctant, and asked: "Miss Yao is not afraid of innocent crimes?"

Yao Shanbao thought it was funny, so he sneered and said, "Lianshui Village is at least dozens of miles away from Liu's Mansion. How can I, a little girl, rush back to the city in such a short time to kill Master Liu, and then run away in the dark?" Go back? Besides, I have proof of my alibi, so there is nothing to be afraid of."

"That's all." Liu Xiangsheng turned his head and told Ziju Baimei, "You two will take care of the second master for me. If there is anything wrong with the second master, you can come and apologize." Then he said, "Lord Lu, I will take the Let the family nanny Jin Mudan go to the Yamen with you."

Hearing that Detective Zhuo quickly found new evidence, and that Master Nalu was going to be promoted, the people in the city rushed to tell them that they would rather drop their work and come to the Yamen to hear the case.

For a while, the gate of the yamen was surrounded.The common people stretched their necks desperately to look inside, and they were all very curious, wanting to know who dared to kill Master Liu and Mrs. Liu.

Speaking of which, this Liu family is a legend.

The Liu family has not been in business for too long, but the Liu family's business is doing very well.

This Liu family is not only the richest in Anping County, but also in Qizhou, the provincial capital, and Jiankang City in the capital, they are all well-known.Especially in recent years, after Liu Xiangsheng, the young master of the Liu family, took over his own business, the Liu family even expanded the business to the neighboring countries of Northern Zhou and Northern Qi.

Three years ago, the imperial court went to war with the small country in Southern Xinjiang. At that time, the small country in Southern Xinjiang used crooked ways to practice witchcraft and harmed countless soldiers of Nanliang. This made Nanliang finally turn defeat into victory.

But the Liu family acted extremely low-key, and never participated in the struggles between the various factions in the imperial court.

The Liu family is a businessman, so they have been doing business all the time, and have never intended to become an official.

Now that the emperor is critically ill, the administrative power is in the hands of powerful ministers, and the kings are also fighting openly and secretly, all wanting to win over the Liu family, and want to use the Liu family's wealth to achieve their goal of controlling life and death.But no matter whether it was the prince or the prime minister Hou Ye, they were all rejected by Master Liu one by one.

Could it be that the people in the imperial court had the evil intention to kill people because they couldn't win over and they were afraid that the Liu family would cooperate with other parties in the future?Everyone speculated one after another, and the discussion below was louder and louder for a while, with all kinds of things, everything that one could expect.

Magistrate Lu was wearing a pea-green official uniform, sitting in the lobby, looking at the restless crowd below, feeling a little scared in his heart.

He doesn't have much ability, and he usually shows off his might and will use some official authority, but once he encounters any major event, he has no idea.Especially in recent years, the imperial court has become more and more strict in assessing the states and counties. If he hadn't had Zhuo Yun helping him with some trivial cases, he would have been relegated long ago.

County Magistrate Lu cleared his throat, thinking that since Zhuo Yun helped him anyway, he was just going through the officialdom, so there was nothing to be afraid of.Thinking of it this way, he became more courageous, stretched out his hand and slapped the gavel, and roared angrily: "Silence!"

The common people, who were noisy just now, calmed down after hearing Master Lu's words.

Magistrate Lu glanced at Zhuo Yun, saw Zhuo Yun nodding to him, he sat upright and said, "Bring Xiulian, the servant girl of the Liu residence, to the hall."

Not long after, the maid, Xiulian, was brought out by two rough envoys.Xiulian's hands and feet were handcuffed, her hair was a little disheveled, and her clothes were messy and not neat, but at least there were no injuries on her face or hands.When the common people saw it, they nodded their heads one by one. After all, the people in the yamen did not torture to extract confessions.

As ordinary people, they are more afraid of meeting a fatuous parent official than encountering bullies and tigers.The common people had no hope for the fat magistrate of Lu County, but they still trusted Zhuo Yun, the fast arrester in the yamen.

The young man is young and promising, and he is also very witty. Since he came, the county has lost countless cases of injustice.

County Magistrate Lu slapped the gavel as he did a few times before, and asked, "Is that the one who is kneeling, Xiulian, the servant girl of the Liu Mansion?"

The maid named Xiulian slowly raised her head, looked around, and saw that her young master was also there, she kept staring at him without saying a word.Liu Xiangsheng frowned slightly, quite impatiently, he stretched out his hand and nodded in the air, and said: "Xiu Lian, Master Lu is asking you, just tell the truth."

"Yes, young master." Xiulian nodded slightly in agreement, then turned her head and looked at the county magistrate Lu who was sitting on the seat in the courtroom, and said in a calm voice, "Returning to my lord, the little girl is Xiulian, the maidservant of the Liu residence, was served by little girls before Master Liu was alive."

County Magistrate Lu nodded his head pretendingly, and asked again: "You can take a closer look, the woman standing next to you, have you seen it before?"

Xiulian turned her head to look at Yao Shanbao, frowned slightly, then shook her head and said: "The little girl has never seen the girl next to her, but she feels that the girl next to her looks like the girl in the portrait hanging in the young master's room. The appearance is very similar. The little girl did not lie, the night the master had an accident, the little girl came out in the middle of the night, and indeed saw the girl in the portrait, the little girl dared not lie to the adults."

Liu Xiangsheng glanced at Yao Shanbao, narrowed his long and narrow eyes, thought for a while, let it be.

Don't drag her into the water anymore, it was precisely because he wanted to have something to do with Yao Shanbao at the beginning, so after the maid Xiulian confessed the portrait, he said that the painting was hers.

He thought, although Yao Shanbao was very similar to the woman in the portrait, but there was a little difference in age after all, when the maid Xiulian saw the real Yao Shanbao, she would not say anything, but he did not expect that his second uncle came back.
