Nongmen Fu's wife and the whole family are villains

In the early court, several officials in succession submitted papers, accusing Mr. Mo and Mo Qingyan of lax control, allowing domestic slaves to bully the people, and robbing the women of the people.

Yu Shitai listed five major crimes, each of which was enough for the two Lords Mo to be demoted to the outside world, and their evidence was solid, the two Lords Mo were caught off guard, and they had to kneel there to plead guilty.

"This case is handed over to the Ministry of Criminal Justice for trial." Fan Yuanxi sat on the dragon chair and said calmly, "I want a result within three days."

The Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishments listed: "The minister obeys the order."

Next, other ministers reported on the affairs of the various divisions.

Those were trivial matters, Fan Yuanxi listened to them, gave an answer, and dealt with them.

Lord Mo and Mo Qingyan knelt there from the beginning to the end, and did not get up until they went down.

Although the case was handed over to the Ministry of Criminal Justice for trial, the emperor gave them enough face because of their hard work over the years, and instead of taking them into custody pending trial, he sent them back to the mansion to await trial by the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

"Lord Lu, please stop." The Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment caught up with Lu Yi.

Lu Yi slowed down and waited for him to catch up.

"Lord Lu, look at this... the case of the two Lords Mo should be handed over to the Metropolitan Procuratorate..."

Lu Yi said calmly: "The emperor trusts your lord, so what's wrong with letting your lord try this case?"

"This..." The head of the Ministry of Justice was almost bald.

The Mo family has a good relationship with the Lu family. It can be said that they have obeyed Lu Yi's orders all these years.Now that something happened to the Mo family, the emperor did not hand over the case to the Metropolitan Procuratorate, that is, Mr. Xiao Lu, nor did he hand it over to the Dali Temple, but let the Ministry of Criminal Justice handle it.Could it be that the emperor wanted the Lu family to avoid suspicion?

Earlier in the court just now, Lord Lu did not intercede for the father and son of the Mo family, did he intend to give up these two pawns?

"My lord, if the two Lords Mo are really lax, how will they be interrogated?"

"Trial as you want, and follow the rules." Lu Yi said, "My lord has been the secretary of the Ministry of Punishment for so many years, and I don't even understand a single case? Then the king will doubt how your lord has handled things these years."

"Understood, of course I understand, I understand."

Lu Yi said calmly: "After three days, my lord will report to the emperor on his own."

The Minister of the Ministry of Justice frowned so much that he could kill a fly.

Lu Yi seemed to have said something, but he didn't seem to say anything. He still didn't understand how the case would be tried.

The house slave committed the crime, and the master was indeed guilty, but he would not be implicated so widely.Few people know how many house slaves there are in each government, and it is even more impossible to know what they have done.If every slave made a mistake and had to be blamed by his boss, then how many of the civil and military officials in the court could be picked clean?

"Sorrow! What a worry!"

Master Mo and Mo Qingyan were detained in the mansion.

Mrs. Mo was so anxious that she looked at Mrs. Mo and said, "Why don't I go to the princess to intercede."

"Women in the back house are not allowed to engage in politics. Even if you go to find the concubine, it's useless." Elder Mo said, "Don't worry about it, just wait for the interrogation!"

"Mother, what's the matter with the slave? Instead of looking for the princess, it's better to check the people under him." Mo said softly.

"I'll check right away." Mrs. Mo said, "If you talk about that Zhuangzi, it seems to be under your wife's name."

"Yun's dowry Zhuangzi?" Mo Qingyan frowned.

"It's not the Jiang family's deliberate mischief, is it?" Mrs. Mo said, "It's just a coincidence that something happened to our family just after their family lost a child."

"Even if it's really the trick of the Jiang family envoys, as long as the people in our hands don't do it, then we can't blame anyone. If they really did it and bullied the people under the name of our Mo family, we don't count as suffering Injustice."

Mo Qingyan went back to the room and found Yun who was embroidering.

"Husband, you are back..."

"Do you have a dowry Zhuangzi in Lijiazhuang?" Mo Qingyan asked.

The Metropolitan Procuratorate had a lot of things to do, so Lu Shaoyu went directly to the scene of the crime after getting off the morning court.

"Why are you here?" Lu Shaoyu saw Xing Jiashi at the scene.

Xing Jiashi frowned, and said with a bitter face, "I don't want to be here either, but... I seem to be involved in the case."

"What's going on?" Lu Shaoyu asked the subordinate next to him.

The subordinate said: "The deceased was a businessman with a lustful nature. Miss Xing was talking about business with him. During the conversation, he poured medicine into Miss Xing's tea. Miss Xing found that something was wrong, so she tied her leg with a hairpin and let him I kept myself awake, but the man got entangled and wanted to force Miss Xing. And then..."

"And then what happened?" Lu Shaoyu's expression turned ugly.

"Then Miss Xing fell into a coma. When she woke up, this person was already dead."

"I should have run out at the time, but when I woke up, I came back to this room, and I was still holding a dagger in my hand. The shape of the dagger matched his wound." Xing Jiashi said.

"You are a woman talking about business, why don't you bring someone with you, and you dare to meet a strange man yourself." Lu Shaoyu said.

Xing Jiashi said: "I originally brought someone with me, but that person had diarrhea and didn't come back after that."

"Diarrhea? What a coincidence?" Lu Shaoyu said, "Wu Zuo came over for an autopsy. You guys go find the person with diarrhea."

"My lord, there's no need to look for him, that man is dead too." A subordinate came in from the outside, cupped his hands, and said, "I found that follower near the hut just now."

When Xing Jiashi heard that his subordinate had died, he was greatly shocked: "How could he have died? He is a member of the Zhiyue clan, and he is very skilled. He has protected me all these years. We are masters and servants in name, but in fact I have always regarded him as For the elders."

"I will do the autopsy, and others will look for clues."

After Lu Shaoyu finished speaking, he looked at Xing Jiashi: "Stay here and don't wander around."

Although he didn't believe that Xing Jiashi would kill someone, she was also suspected before the case was found out.

Xing Jiashi was still under the blow of 'his men are dead', so she found a seat and sat down with a sad look on her face.

Wu Zuo examined the corpse and said, "My lord, the murder weapon used to kill this man was that dagger. The deceased should have struggled violently before dying, as can be seen from the traces at the scene. There are scratch marks of a woman on the deceased's body." , Judging from the current situation, the scratch should be left by the girl. From the analysis of the traces at the scene and the traces on the deceased, the situation of the girl is very bad."

"Where's that servant of hers?"

"The man had diarrhea before he died, and the cause of death was the impact on the back of his head. He should have had diarrhea and was weak, and was attacked by someone later. The subordinates went down to the place where his body was found just now, but nothing else was found," Wu Zuo said. .

Lu Shaoyu waved his hand, motioning for them to continue to investigate, and he also looked around the room.

Judging from the traces at the scene, he could probably imagine the details of Xing Jiashi's entanglement with that person.He knelt down, looked at the footprints on the ground, and said, "You remember correctly, you should have escaped at that time, and then you were dragged back, and then faked a scene where you killed someone. The real murderer is another People, by involving you, I just want to make a scapegoat."

"My lord, do you see it?"

"Well, but there is no evidence, and there are no clues to the real culprit. This person is very good at cleaning the scene, that is to say, he understands things in this area, so he arranged the place so accurately."

Lu Shaoyu stood up and continued: "However, there is one thing that exposed him. He knows your every move very well. Your servant had diarrhea. He went to ambush him in advance and successfully attacked there. This shows that your servant's diarrhea was not an accident, but Someone did something to him. So, this person had contact with your servant. Think back, did your servant eat anything or drink water that you didn't eat?"

"Yes." Xing Jiashi said, "I ate steamed stuffed buns with pickled vegetables in the morning. My servant ate too much, and his mouth was a little dry. As soon as he entered the restaurant, he asked Xiao Er to pour water for him."

"Xiao Er..." Lu Shaoyu said, "Gather all the people in the restaurant immediately, and then identify who you have come into contact with just now."

Xing Jiashi followed Lu Shaoyu to identify the people in the restaurant.

"There's no such little girl."

"Just make sure."

"Definitely not. That mistress is very tall. I took a second look at him and thought he was so tall and handsome. Why did he come to be a mistress?"

"The shopkeeper," Lu Shaoyu looked at him, "tell me, who else is not here?"

"Here we come, everyone is here!" said the shopkeeper.

"There is one more person who hasn't come." A waiter said, "Brother Li is sick. The business of our restaurant is good these days, but there is a shortage of people. His cousin came to replace Brother Li's work."

"Yes, there is indeed a temporary buddy. But he is temporary, and he should have gone home early."

"Come on, find out that temporary guy."

The people under him approached the guy surnamed Li based on the clues provided by the shopkeeper, and learned from the guy surnamed Li that his cousin was hired temporarily. Come back to report in disgrace.

Lu Shaoyu said: "This man is very smart. He knows that what he has done cannot be concealed, so he uses you to numb his vision and delay his escape."

"My lord, if that person wants to escape, he will definitely make it easy. However, that person's features are particularly obvious. One is that he is very tall, half a head taller than an adult. The second is that his feet are a bit crooked, and the way he walks Weird. He can fake his looks, but not those features."

"Immediately track down this person based on the clues provided by Miss Xing."

"Yes."

Lu Shaoyu said, "I'll send someone to take you back."

"My lord, don't you stop checking?" Xing Jiashi said.

"Your servant is not short. That person sneaked up on him from behind. First, he must be tall enough. Second, he probably let your servant relax his vigilance, so he didn't guard against his sneak attack from behind. In such an environment Next, the person who can make people relax their vigilance is of course the guy or shopkeeper here. Besides, that person arranged the scene as if you were killing someone, but judging from the wounds of the deceased, no matter what posture you use to stab him, It is also impossible to make the wound form such an arc, so it is impossible for you to kill the person."

"Thank you sir, then I..."

"I'll have someone send you back, and your servant should also be sent back for burial! I'll try the case. If you want to come and see it, you can come and see it when I open the trial."

"Thank you sir."

After Xing Jiashi left, the subordinate next to him said: "Sir, even if you are sure that the other party is not the murderer, as long as it is a suspect, you will not let the other party go. Why did you let that girl leave early today?"

"Since the murderer has been confirmed, what's the use of leaving her there trembling?" Lu Shaoyu said, "What's more, the old servant died unjustly, and she is in a bad mood, so let her go home early to adjust her mood."

"Since when did your lord become so sympathetic?"

"No wink, that girl is a friend of the lord, and the lord is always so considerate to friends." Another subordinate said.

Now that the murderer has been identified, there is no need to stay there anymore.

Lu Shaoyu came out with his subordinates, who were carrying the dead man.

"This scourge is finally dead." The people who passed by saw the appearance of the dead and cursed one after another.

"Who did it? Who killed the people?"

Lu Shaoyu recruited a subordinate and asked him to investigate the identity of the deceased and investigate all the bad things he had done recently.

Not long after, the men came back and brought the man's information.

"My lord, this man is too hateful." The subordinate said, "He is not a businessman at all, but a domestic slave who takes care of Mrs. Mo's village."

Lu Shaoyu looked at his subordinates: "What did you say?"

"That man is a domestic slave, not a businessman at all. He is bluffing outside under the guise of a businessman, and taking advantage of women by the way." The subordinate said, "When my subordinates went to investigate this person today, the Ministry of Punishment was also inquiring about it. This person. If it is as expected, it won't be long before Xingbu will come here to ask for someone."

Lu Shaoyu pressed his brows.

"So coincidentally?"

In the case he investigated, the dead person was the house slave that Xingbu was investigating?

If the house slave died, how would the Mo family's case be investigated?

If all the crimes are put on the house slave, the world will only say that the Mo family's means are despicable, maybe they killed the house slave.In this way, the Mo family will never even try to clear their stigma.

"My lord, it's not like someone deliberately set up a series of tricks! In the case of the Mo family, the emperor obviously doesn't want the Lu family to be contaminated. Although the prince didn't say it clearly, he obviously won't interfere in this case. Now you met the family here. Nu, in the eyes of others, it may be that the Lu family is clearing up obstacles for the Mo family."

"Okay." Lu Shaoyu said, "I don't know what you know? However, the person is dead, and it happens to be under the jurisdiction of the officer. Is it possible for the officer to ignore it? If the Xingbu wants someone, then send the body to him." In the past. As for the details, just tell them. When the murderer is caught, send it to the Criminal Department and hand it over to them for trial."

"The subordinate understands." The subordinate retreated.
