The Red Chamber: My Stunning Confidante with a Variety of Styles

Not only Zhao Bin, Shui Rong, Shuntian Prefecture Yin Gao Qing, and Punishment Minister Yang Da all showed inexplicable expressions of astonishment when they saw this jade pendant.

The meaning of this jade pendant is really too great. It almost overturned the previous inference of Zhang Qingshan's suicide, and directly pointed the finger at Wang Xifeng and Jia Jue.

The situation suddenly became serious.

"You said that there was a new discovery on Zhang Qingshan's body?" Chu Yun asked Zuzuo again.

Zuo Zuo nodded: "Go back to your lord. The villain found several fingerprints on the back of Zhang Qingshan's head, and found dirt and grass clippings in his fingernails."

hum!
As soon as these words came out, the onlookers immediately began to discuss in a low voice:

"Fingerprints on the back of the head? What does that mean?"

"Could it be that someone grabbed his head with their hands?"

"It makes sense, but what's the difference between this mud and grass clippings?"

"If you really drowned, why would there be grass clippings in your fingernails?"

……

"Silence!" Chu Yun patted the gavel and shouted.

The crowd quieted down.

"Zuo Zuo, what's the explanation for these traces?" Chu Yun asked Zuzuo.

"My lord! In my humble opinion, the deceased should have been drowned by being pushed into the water. As for the grass clippings and dirt in the nails, it should be the result of the deceased's struggle." Zu replied.

This statement surprised everyone, but Zhao Bin and Shuirong frowned.

Sure enough, Zhang Qingshan did not drown.

"Ms. Zhang, is this jade pendant owned by your brother?" Chu Yun asked Zhang Cuilan.

Zhang Cuilan shook her head: "Sir, if my brother has this jade pendant, why would he not be able to pay for it."

Gao Qing echoed: "Yes, this jade pendant is of high quality, and you can exchange for one hundred and ten taels of silver just by going to a pawnshop."

Chu Yun frowned: "It's not what it is, so why would it be taken out of its belly?"

"At that time, the situation was urgent and we had to do it." Yang Da also said.

"Master Yang is right." Chu Yun nodded, "Just, who owns this jade pendant?"

After he finished speaking, he raised his head slightly, but saw Laiwang's eyes flickering and his expression was different.

"Laiwang! Do you know who owns this jade pendant?" Chu Yun asked.

Laiwang shook his head hesitantly: "No, I don't know, the villain doesn't know anything."

"Bold! How dare you deceive this official!" Chu Yun shouted, "Get on the stick!"

The pinch stick, also known as the punishment of the three-foot wood, is an extremely torturous torture tool.

This stick is well-known among the people. Before being punished, Laiwang changed color. He shouted:

"Sir, the villain is recruited. This jade pendant is the dowry of my second grandmother Lian. Her boudoir name has the word 'phoenix' in it, and the word 'jue' is the name of the third master in the house. !"

Whoa!
As soon as these words came out, the scene became commotion again. The names of sister-in-law and brother-in-law appeared on a jade pendant at the same time. What does this mean?
More importantly, this jade pendant was finally found in the belly of the deceased. What does this mean?
"Do you mean what you said?" Chu Yun asked.

"The villain dare not deceive the adults." Lai Wang said tremblingly.

"Is there any evidence?" Chu Yun asked.

"Sir, this jade pendant is the dowry of the second grandmother of Lian. She has seen it in her companion room, as well as the villain's daughter-in-law." Lai Wang said quickly.

Chu Yun slapped the gavel: "Bring Xiaoying (who came to Wang's house)!"

After a while, those from Wang's house entered the hall.

"Do you recognize this thing!" Chu Yun asked the yamen to show her the jade pendant.

Seeing this jade pendant, Laiwang's complexion changed, and she hurriedly shook her head.

"Laiwang, you dare to talk nonsense!" Chu Yun shouted at Laiwang, "Come here, use punishment!"

Immediately, two burly yamen came over, put the clamps on Laiwang's feet, and tightened them hard.

Ah!
Laiwang immediately burst into tears and cried frantically.

Seeing this, Laiwang's house burst into tears, and she immediately cried:
"Sir, please let him go, I lied, I recruit, I recruit!"

Chu Yun waved his hand and asked the yamen to stop, looking at the Laiwang family.

Laiwang's sobbing said: "Sir, this jade pendant is grandma's dowry."

"What's the explanation for the word 'Jue' on it?" Chu Yun asked.

Laiwang's expression was full of struggle when he heard the words.

Chu Yun calmly glanced at the two yamen, the yamen understood and tried again.

Laiwang screamed again.

"Sir, I said, I said! The words on the jade pendant were engraved by grandma to find someone, and this jade pendant was given to the third master by her." Laiwang's family cried.

Whoa!
There was an uproar in the crowd, and Wang Xifeng, the sister-in-law, actually gave a jade pendant engraved with the names of the two to his brother-in-law Jia Jue!
This shows that there is an unspeakable relationship between the two people!
"It's all nonsense, all nonsense!" Jia Zheng, who was watching in the crowd, said tremblingly, this is a huge smear for the Jia family!

Wang Xifeng, who heard the words, trembled all over, her face was as pale as snow, and she almost couldn't stand.

Seeing this, Jia Jue supported her and said softly, "Sister Feng, don't worry, those who are clear will clear themselves."

Wang Xifeng looked at him and burst into tears: "I hurt you. If it wasn't for me, how could they use this dirty water to smear your name."

Jia Jue said softly to her: "It's okay, I have everything."

Looking at his face and listening to his voice, Wang Xifeng's heart suddenly calmed down. At this moment, she suddenly felt that as long as Jia Jue was by her side, she would not be afraid even if there were mountains of swords, seas of fire, and hells in front of her.

Bang bang bang!
"Quiet!" Chu Yun shot the gavel three times in a row before suppressing everyone's voices.

"Are you sure that this item was given to Jia Jue by the Jia Wang family?" he asked the Laiwang family.

"My lord, I gave this jade pendant to the third master myself." Laiwang's family said.

"Okay!" There was a glint in Chu Yun's eyes. He patted the gavel again and shouted, "Come on, bring Jia Jue to the hall!"

"Brother Jue!" Wang Xifeng looked at Jia Jue with a worried expression.

"It's okay." Jia Jue gave her a reassuring smile, then turned around and walked to the court.

Seeing him appear, the onlookers once again talked a lot, and all kinds of unpleasant words instantly surrounded him.

boom!
Chu Yun photographed the gavel again, suppressed the voices of everyone, and asked him:

"Who is in the hall?"

Jia Jue bowed his hands to him: "Jia Jue, I have seen Lord Chu!"

boom!
Chu Yun smashed the jingle and shouted to Jia Jue, "Bold! Why don't you kneel when you see this official!"

In this era, the hierarchy is strict, and ordinary people must bow when they see an official. In an occasion like a court, they have to kneel.

Jia Jue is not an official, has no fame, and just bows to him, which is against the rules.

Zhao Bin frowned together. They wanted to help Jia Jue, but they couldn't open their mouths, because it was related to the rules of the entire officialdom and even the ruling class, and it was really hard to break the rules.

This is also the fundamental reason why Chu Yun dares to take care of Jia Jue. He does not have any social status. Even if he is talented, how can the people fight against the officials?
"Kneel down!" The yamen who were present shouted towards Jia Jue in unison. Several of them had already stepped out and were about to use force.

Faced with such a scene, Jia Jue naturally has a way to deal with it, but at this moment, a shrill voice suddenly sounded:

"The oracle is here!"
