I am the best in the world with the crime solving system
Chapter 196 Shameless
Xie Xuan sat behind the desk, holding the gavel and tapped it once and for all.
Chen Chaoyan stood beside him.
Xie Xuan originally wanted Ling You to move another chair for her to sit on, but she refused.She only cherished the time with him because of the conversation that night, and she would not be presumptuous for this cherishment.
Yue Jian and the others stood on both sides of the desk.
On the two sides below, there are forbidden soldiers with swords or sabers.
As soon as Xu Shi entered the second hall, he was so frightened by the battle that he knelt down on the ground.
Zhang Laosan had already had contact with Xie Xuan and Chen Chaoyan. Although he had instinctive fear when he saw them, he was stronger than Xu Shi after all. He followed Zheng Liang to the center of the hall before kneeling down.
"Tell me, how did Mrs. Cheng die?" Xie Xuan said, breaking Xu Shi's kowtow.
"Caomin was wronged," Xu Shi panicked, "Caomin did not kill Mrs. Cheng."
Xie Xuan asked almost without emotion: "You didn't kill it, so who killed it?"
"Caomin don't know." Xu Shiyu cried.
Xie Xuanbo looked at him calmly, "Since you didn't kill him, why did Mr. Zhang identify you as the murderer?"
"Caomin, Caomin..." After holding back for a while, Xu Shi burst into tears, "Caomin remembered Cheng's hatred for not marrying earlier, and when she returned to her natal family, he took her by force and threatened her to continue with Caomin. Huanhao, after Zhang Laosan found out, he hated Caomin. After Cheng's death, he even sneaked into Ningkou Manor every three days to trouble Caomin. Caomin was afraid of being sued for his life, so he kept hiding and refused. Seeing him, he mistakenly thought it was Cheng who was killed by grass people."
Xie Xuan glanced at Zhang Laosan.
Chen Chaoyan also looked at Zhang Laosan.
Zhang Laosan's face was blue and red, and the veins in his clenched hands were bursting out.
"Be more careful." Xie Xuan ordered after throwing down the gavel.
"Yes." Xu Shixu moved his position with difficulty, and then retracted his fingers quietly, glanced at Zhang Laosan from the corner of the eye, and said slowly, "Before Cao Min got married, when he went to play in the town, because there was no I fell while looking at the road. Others were laughing at me, only Mrs. Cheng called her brother to help me up. Seeing that Mrs. Cheng was not only good-looking, but also soft-spoken, Cao Min felt relieved After returning home, I asked my mother to go to Yuangou Village to propose marriage to her. After she refused, Cao Min went to pester her twice and was beaten by her brother. Not long after that, I heard that she married Went to Yuangou Village."
"Caomin thought that she refused to marry Caomin because she disliked the fact that Caomin's family was poor. So after Caomin's second sister married to the official mine and the family became rich, they went to find her again. At first, Caomin just wanted her to see, Caomin is doing well now, but her disdain angered Caomin, and Caomin was so angry..."
"Bastard!" Zhang Laosan couldn't bear it anymore, and after throwing him on the ground, his fists fell like raindrops.
Xu Shi held his head, not daring to fight back.
It was Zheng Liang who was afraid that he would be beaten to death, so he stepped forward and pulled Zhang Laosan away.
After Xie Xuan quietly drank a cup of tea, he said indifferently, "Continue."
Xu Shi didn't dare to cry out, and after knelt down again, he continued, "Although Mrs. Cheng did something wrong out of anger, her heart towards Mrs. Cheng remains unchanged..."
Seeing Zhang Laosan raised his fist again, Xu Shi subconsciously hugged his head and lay down on the ground.It had been a long time since the fist landed on his body, so he raised his arm and took a look, only to find that Zhang Laosan was just staring at him with red eyes.After glancing around in embarrassment, Xu Shi got up, knelt and walked away from Zhang Laosan, and then continued: "Caomin knows that after Zhang Laosan finds out about the defilement of her, she will not have good fruit." Caomin felt sorry for her, so he gave her advice, as long as she forced Zhang Laosan to divorce her, Caomin was still willing to marry her."
"Bastard!" Zhang Laosan roared again, and rushed towards him, but was stopped by Zheng Liang, who had quick eyesight and quick hands.
After Xu Shi flinched a few times, he knelt down and took two steps to the side.
"You're already married, how can you marry her again?" Yue Jian snorted coldly.
Xu Shi said without thinking, "Caomin can marry her after divorcing his wife."
Yue Jian sneered: "You are very affectionate."
Xu Shi didn't dare to answer. Obviously, because of his second sister, he knew enough about Xie Xuan, so he knew Yue Jian's identity.After a moment of silence, Xu Shi continued: "Ms. Cheng rejected Caomin again. Caomin was so annoyed that he insulted her again, and then threatened her with this matter, asking her to go to Caomin to defame her every five days." The place is waiting, otherwise, the grass-roots people will spread the story of her disobedience to women."
Yuejian couldn't help but stab him a few more times, but was stopped by Chen Chaoyan.
Xu Shi also seemed to be a little afraid of her, so he speeded up and said, "She didn't say anything, and after getting dressed, she staggered away."
"Later, Caomin heard that she was planning to hang herself after returning home, but was rescued by Zhang Laosan after discovering it. When Caomin defiled her, she struggled fiercely, and there were many bruises on her body. Zhang Laosan San must have found out. Caomin thought that she would definitely not keep the promise, but Zhang Laosan sent her here."
"Zhang Laosan secretly brought a knife."
"When Caomin laughed at him, he chopped Caomin with a knife."
"Although the grass man retreated to the side for a while, his arm was still seriously injured. The voice of the grass man calling for help alarmed the servants who were guarding in the distance. The servants came over and took Zhang Laosan's knife away. Caomin was in pain and angry, so he threatened Cheng again, saying that he would report to the police to arrest Zhang Laosan. Cheng knelt down and begged Caomin to let him go, and promised to come to Caomin next time. Caomin agreed because of his soft heart."
Chen Chaoyan looked at Zhang Laosan.
Yue Jian and the others also looked at him.
Zhang Laosan didn't argue, but just cursed 'bastard' over and over again with his eyes wide open.
Chen Chaoyan sighed silently twice.
Her mood is a little complicated.
If such a thing were placed in modern times, she could unceremoniously ask Zhang Laosan why he didn't report the crime?But in the feudal dynasty that was so innocent, she couldn't say a single question.
While his thoughts were complicated, his hands suddenly felt warm.
Chen Chaoyan lowered her head and saw that it was Xie Xuan holding her hand.
Slightly raised his eyes to look at him.
Xie Xuan didn't even turn his head, but held her hand silently.
Suppressing the ups and downs of emotions, after shaking his hand twice, Chen Chaoyan withdrew his gaze and signaled Xu Shi to continue.
Xu Shi then said: "Then on August 26, Mrs. Cheng came to look for Caomin as promised, and was killed on the way home. Caomin did not kill Mrs. Cheng, but Zhang Laosan believed that it was Caomin who killed him. Caomin was afraid After he reported to the official, he told the grassroots about the defilement of the Cheng family, so he kept avoiding him."
Chen Chaoyan looked at him sharply, "Every time Mrs. Cheng came to look for you, she was beaten and kicked by Mrs. Zhang when she went back, do you know?"
Xu Shi said awkwardly, "I know."
"Didn't you say that you will not change your infatuation with Cheng?" Chen Chaoyan mocked, "Would you bear to see her being beaten?"
Xu Shi argued: "Caomin has been persuading her to force Zhang Laosan to divorce her, but she is unwilling."
Chen Chaoyan suppressed the urge to hit someone, and asked again: "Since you didn't kill Mrs. Cheng, why did you give Zhang Laosan money?"
Xu Shi seemed to feel her anger, and replied very cautiously: "It's Cao Min's mother. Cao Min's mother doesn't want him to trouble Cao Min again, so she wants to send him away with money."
"You're lying." Chen Chaoyan poked him mercilessly, "With the support of the official mine, and your mother has such a temper, if you hadn't killed Mrs. Cheng, your family would never have given Zhang Laosan an money!"
Xu Shi's face turned pale instantly, and his body also trembled.
Xie Xuan held Chen Chaoyan's hand again, and after signaling her to be calm, he clasped his hands and tapped on the desk, and said softly, "Say."
Xu Shi blurted out: "Yes, it's Cao Min's second brother-in-law. He didn't want to cause trouble and asked Cao Min to pay for it!"
Xie Xuanbo looked at him calmly, and then told Zheng Liang, "Go and bring Tian Changlin here!"
"My lord, spare me!" Xu Shi knelt down on the ground in fright, and begged for mercy while kowtowing, "Yes, it was Lord Du and Lord Meng. They did not want Caomin to have anything to do with Cheng's death, so they confessed to Caomin. Comfort Zhang Laosan."
"Why don't they want you to have anything to do with Cheng's death?" Xie Xuan asked slowly.
Xu Shi began to cry: "They don't want to be dragged into this case."
Xie Xuan asked patiently: "Did they kill Mrs. Cheng?"
Xu Shi quickly shook his head, "No."
"If not, why should they worry about being involved in this case?" Xie Xuan asked, his tone becoming more and more calm.
Xu Shi knew that he couldn't hide it, and after his face turned pale again, he closed his eyes and confessed everything like beans poured out of a bamboo tube, "They, they are in love with Cao Min's second sister."
Chen Chaoyan frowned slightly, and asked uncertainly: "Who is your second sister dating?"
Xu Shi tightened his fingers and said like a fist, "With Master Du and Master Meng."
Chen Chaoyan:?
Yue Jian and others:?
Zheng Liang, who didn't know whether to invite someone:?
"Isn't your second sister married to Master Tian?" Zheng Liang asked suspiciously, "Could it be that I remembered it wrong?"
"Your memory is correct," Xu Shi said, his face turned pale for a while, then turned red again, "Cao Min's second sister is indeed married to Mr. Tian."
Zheng Liang was startled, "Then, then, what about your second sister..."
"It was Mrs. Du and Mrs. Meng who wanted to defile the Second Sister Caomin first." Xu Shi defended.
The relationship was a bit messy, he had to carefully stroke it, Zheng Liang scratched his head, and stepped aside obediently.
Xie Xuan clasped his hands, tapped the counter twice again, and asked slowly: "Your second sister was defiled by Du Jian'an and Meng Xun, and Tian Changlin didn't say anything?"
"Caomin's second brother-in-law..." Xu Shi couldn't speak.
Xie Xuan didn't force him, but signaled Zheng Liang again to bring Tian Changlin over.
Zheng Liang went immediately.
After a while, he brought Tian Changlin who had been placed alone.
As soon as Tian Changlin entered the second hall, he knelt down.
Tian Changlin has dark skin and a thin body. He belongs to the kind of person who is very inconspicuous in the crowd.
Xie Xuan clasped his hands on the desk, looked at him quietly for a while, and then said slowly: "Tell me, how did you kill Mrs. Cheng."
Tian Changlin's hands softened, and his face hit the ground.Struggling in embarrassment, he raised his hands up, kowtowed and said: "Your Majesty, you know, I don't even know Mrs. Cheng."
Xie Xuan said calmly: "Then let's talk about your wife first."
"My wife, she, she..." She paused for a while, but Tian Changlin was also speechless.
"How did she become a good friend of Du Jian'an and Meng Xun?" Xie Xuan asked straightforwardly.
Tian Changlin looked at Xu Shi suddenly, as if he couldn't believe it, he dared to say such a thing, "You..."
Xu Shi lowered his head, not daring to look at him.
Xie Xuan knocked on the desk, "Speak."
Tian Changlin withdrew his gaze and lowered his head. After a long time, he said in a difficult voice, "Before marrying Yueyue, Xiaguan was only the supervisor of the Beidu Military Supervision. When Yueyue married me, she was still a young girl , whether it is appearance or figure, they are all excellent. I know that Yueyue married me because of my identity. Although I am a supervisor, I am a handyman in charge of running errands for Lord Du and Lord Meng. Running errands One of my duties is to go to Jinyi County to buy tea for them every ten days, and Yueyue’s family happens to have more than 50 tea trees.”
"I was greedy for her youth and beauty, so I promised her that as long as she married me, I would buy tea from her home at a price of [-] yuan a catty."
"Her mother went to Jinyi County to inquire, and learned that the highest price of loose tea is only 38 cents a catty, so she readily agreed to the marriage."
"When Yueyue and I got married, Lord Du and Lord Meng also came. It was my fault, because I was incapable, so I failed to protect Yueyue, so that Yueyue was killed by Lord Du's aunt when she was paying homage. Lifting the hijab made her show her face in front of people without even entering the bridal chamber."
"I know that Lord Du and Lord Meng are greedy for women, but I never thought that they would target Yueyue."
"In order to tarnish Yueyue, Master Meng pretended to accept He Feng from Yueyue's natal village, and then used He Feng to trick Yueyue into his home, and together with Master Du, he tarnished Yueyue!"
"Yueyue came back crying. After she came back and kowtowed to me to admit her mistake, she was about to hang herself. Although I saved her, I hated myself for not being able to avenge her. It was Yueyue who comforted me and threatened me with this incident. Lord Du and Lord Meng promoted me to be the prime minister. It's just that Yueyue has been reduced to a plaything of Lord Du and Lord Meng since then."
Speaking of this, Tian Changlin cried bitterly, "It's because I have no ability, it's fine if I can't protect her, and she has to sell herself to protect me..."
Hearing his cry, Xu Shi turned his head to look at him in surprise.
Chen Chaoyan caught this point very sharply, but before she could speak, Xie Xuan held her hand again, and when she looked down at him, he said slowly: "You are lying."
Tian Changlin immediately kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty has clearly observed, everything that I said is true."
Xie Xuan didn't like him, he turned his gaze to Xu Shi, and said in a slow tone, "You tell me."
Just as Xu Shi was about to speak, Xie Xuan reminded casually: "If you dare to lie, I will break your hands and feet, and then hang you on the city wall of Jinyi County."
Xu Shi shivered for a moment, and after looking at the imperial guards on both sides, put away his careful thoughts and said, "Cao Min's second sister was not deceived to become the plaything of Master Du and Master Meng, she is willing."
Tian Changlin clenched his fists and said, "You are not allowed to say that about your second sister!"
"I'm not wrong." Xu Shi muttered a few words, then knelt and walked away from him, and then continued, "It was Cao Min's second sister who was the oldest in our village before she married him. A good-looking woman. So after the second sister married to the official mine, she returned to the village to show off. But the good times didn't last long, and Master Meng took He Feng as his concubine. Although she was a concubine, because Master Meng was Young Prisoner, He Feng's life is countless times better than that of Cao Min's second sister. The second sister complains that He Feng is not as good as her in everything, and wants to marry Master Meng who is worse than her and only wants to get close to her."
"You..." Tian Changlin wanted to stop him, but Xie Xuan stopped him with a cold look.
Seeing this, Xu Shi moved a little further away from him, and then continued: "The reason why Master Du and Master Meng promoted him is because Cao Min's mother didn't want her second sister to be worse than He Feng, so she went to find Master Du and Master Meng. Your Excellency is coming."
Tian Changlin fell on the ground in shame and anger, and cried loudly: "You spout blood, obviously I have no ability to protect Yueyue, and that's why she was persecuted. She didn't do it voluntarily!"
Xu Shi pursed his lips and muttered, "You can believe what she made up."
"Go and bring Qiu Shi and his second sister up." Xie Xuan ordered indifferently.
Zheng Liang went in a hurry again.
moment.
He brought the Qiu family who had lost his arrogance, Xu Yue and an eight or nine-year-old boy into the second hall.
Xie Xuan ignored Qiu's weeping and begging for mercy, but directly set his eyes on Xu Yue.
Xu Yue is only 25 or [-] years old, with a charming figure and outstanding appearance, and there is a natural charm between her brows and eyes.Seeing Xie Xuan sizing her up, she twisted her waist almost unconsciously, and said in a gentle voice: "The concubine has seen the prince."
Yue Jian was irritated by her behavior, she sneered disdainfully, looked her up and down with contempt for a moment, and said meanly: "It's really not changing at any time!"
After Xu Yue's face froze, she looked at Tian Changlin with shame and anger, "Waste, if it weren't for me, you would be a mud dog who was ordered by others! You have no skills, and you dare to humiliate me!"
Tian Changlin was about to defend himself, but before he opened his mouth, Xu Yue choked again: "Tian Changlin, why don't you show some shame! If you hadn't used money to bribe me so shamelessly, you thought I would marry you like this What a waste! You don’t take a pee to take a picture of yourself. You are ugly and black. I only fell in love with you if I was blind! If it weren’t for you, I would be the concubine for Mr. Meng! I didn’t ask you to count the loss Forget it, you still dare to come and humiliate me, I'll show you face!"
Tian Changlin was so ashamed by her scolding that he pressed his face to the ground, but it wasn't over yet.
The boy next to Xu Yue, almost as soon as Xu Yue finished speaking, said, "Trash, you want to be ashamed and throw it away by yourself, don't drag my mother and me! Uncle Du and Uncle Meng said, wait for my birthday At that time, just accept me as a godson, if you dare to spoil my good deeds, I will kill you!"
Tian Changlin said in pain: "I am your father, how could you talk to me like this."
"Bah! We Kang'er don't have such a good-for-nothing father like you." Seeing Xu Yue's nonsense, Qiu Shi, who was scared at first, did nothing, and became arrogant again in an instant, "Our Kang'er is the son of Master Du and Master Meng. If Master Du and Master Meng work together to cultivate it, don't hold back our Kang'er!"
"mother……"
"Shut up! Who is your mother?" Qiu said angrily, "My son-in-law is only Mr. Du and Mr. Meng. What are you!"
Tian Changlin fell on the ground and did not speak.
But Qiu, Xu Yue and the child did not let him go.
The three of them cursed him with various vicious words in succession.
The hatred in those words can almost be condensed into substance.
Xie Xuan's good patience has been gradually exhausted amidst their cursing.After Chen Chaoyan noticed this, she immediately said, "Master Zheng, please take them down and imprison them!"
"Why do you..." Qiu's arrogant voice stopped abruptly after meeting Xie Xuan's ice-like gaze.
After watching Zheng Liang take everyone away, Chen Chaoyan calmed down for a moment, then turned to look at Zhang Laosan, "You go back first, after I find the murderer, I will send someone to Yuangou Village to inform you."
Zhang Laosan was stunned by the quarrel of Xu Shi's family. Hearing her words, he turned around and left without saying anything.
When they walked away, Chen Chaoyan breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to speak when Xie Xuan squeezed her hand and said, "The murderer is not Xu Shi."
Chen Chaoyan nodded.
"What should we check next?" Xie Xuan asked.
"Let's go back first." Chen Chaoyan pinched his brows and said.Her thoughts were still on Tian Changlin's matter, and she had to calm down before she could decide what to investigate next.
Xie Xuan nodded, got up and led her back to Yuqingzhu.
"Take a break first, don't worry." Waiting for Shushu and Yuejian to bring tea, Xie Xuan comforted Chen Chaoyan.
Chen Chaoyan said 'hmm', and was not in the mood to speak.After slowly drinking half a cup of tea, his thoughts were still immersed in Tian Changlin's affairs, and he couldn't calm down for a long time, so he got up and went to the desk, took out the map of Jinyi County, and told Yuejian while looking at it: "Grind ink."
After Yuejian polished the ink, Chen Chaoyan took out the paper, dipped the pen in the ink, thought for a while, and then centered on Tian Changlin, listed all the relevant figures of the Xu family and Beidu Military Supervisor.
After finishing writing, Chen Chaoyan took two steps back, looked at the name on the paper, and frowned slightly.
Yuejian followed her to look at those names, and hummed: "If I were Tian Changlin, I would divorce Xu Yue and make her a concubine. Let's see if she is still arrogant!"
"Obviously because of him, the Xu family became rich, and Xu Yue also had the opportunity to get close to Du Jian'an, Meng Xun and others. In the end, their family still has the face to call him a waste!"
"It's fine for the Xu family to scold, how old is that child? He's so vicious!"
The servant said casually: "With Tian Changlin's temper, even if he has the heart to write a divorce letter, he probably doesn't have the guts."
"That's why I'm even more angry." After humming twice, Yuejian seemed to discover a new continent, pointing at the names of Qiu, Xu Yue and the child, and said in surprise, "Look at the names of these people!"
Chen Chaoyan and Shi Shu stepped forward together, and asked at the same time: "What's wrong with the names of these people?"
"That's, that's..." Yuejian thought for a while, but couldn't find a suitable adjective, and finally said simply, "The three of them, grandparents and grandchildren, do they look like those who were killed?"
Ling You came over and took a look, then asked, "Where does it look like?"
Yue Jian gave him a white look, "I said similar, but I didn't mean their names and appearances, but..."
"Do things!" The servant said, "Ms. Qiu is arrogant and arrogant, Mrs. Tao is gossip, and Aunt Jiang forced her daughter to sell herself to make money. They are all unreasonable old women. It is not much different from the Xu Yue described by Tian Changlin, as for the rest..."
PS: Six thousand words.
Chen Chaoyan stood beside him.
Xie Xuan originally wanted Ling You to move another chair for her to sit on, but she refused.She only cherished the time with him because of the conversation that night, and she would not be presumptuous for this cherishment.
Yue Jian and the others stood on both sides of the desk.
On the two sides below, there are forbidden soldiers with swords or sabers.
As soon as Xu Shi entered the second hall, he was so frightened by the battle that he knelt down on the ground.
Zhang Laosan had already had contact with Xie Xuan and Chen Chaoyan. Although he had instinctive fear when he saw them, he was stronger than Xu Shi after all. He followed Zheng Liang to the center of the hall before kneeling down.
"Tell me, how did Mrs. Cheng die?" Xie Xuan said, breaking Xu Shi's kowtow.
"Caomin was wronged," Xu Shi panicked, "Caomin did not kill Mrs. Cheng."
Xie Xuan asked almost without emotion: "You didn't kill it, so who killed it?"
"Caomin don't know." Xu Shiyu cried.
Xie Xuanbo looked at him calmly, "Since you didn't kill him, why did Mr. Zhang identify you as the murderer?"
"Caomin, Caomin..." After holding back for a while, Xu Shi burst into tears, "Caomin remembered Cheng's hatred for not marrying earlier, and when she returned to her natal family, he took her by force and threatened her to continue with Caomin. Huanhao, after Zhang Laosan found out, he hated Caomin. After Cheng's death, he even sneaked into Ningkou Manor every three days to trouble Caomin. Caomin was afraid of being sued for his life, so he kept hiding and refused. Seeing him, he mistakenly thought it was Cheng who was killed by grass people."
Xie Xuan glanced at Zhang Laosan.
Chen Chaoyan also looked at Zhang Laosan.
Zhang Laosan's face was blue and red, and the veins in his clenched hands were bursting out.
"Be more careful." Xie Xuan ordered after throwing down the gavel.
"Yes." Xu Shixu moved his position with difficulty, and then retracted his fingers quietly, glanced at Zhang Laosan from the corner of the eye, and said slowly, "Before Cao Min got married, when he went to play in the town, because there was no I fell while looking at the road. Others were laughing at me, only Mrs. Cheng called her brother to help me up. Seeing that Mrs. Cheng was not only good-looking, but also soft-spoken, Cao Min felt relieved After returning home, I asked my mother to go to Yuangou Village to propose marriage to her. After she refused, Cao Min went to pester her twice and was beaten by her brother. Not long after that, I heard that she married Went to Yuangou Village."
"Caomin thought that she refused to marry Caomin because she disliked the fact that Caomin's family was poor. So after Caomin's second sister married to the official mine and the family became rich, they went to find her again. At first, Caomin just wanted her to see, Caomin is doing well now, but her disdain angered Caomin, and Caomin was so angry..."
"Bastard!" Zhang Laosan couldn't bear it anymore, and after throwing him on the ground, his fists fell like raindrops.
Xu Shi held his head, not daring to fight back.
It was Zheng Liang who was afraid that he would be beaten to death, so he stepped forward and pulled Zhang Laosan away.
After Xie Xuan quietly drank a cup of tea, he said indifferently, "Continue."
Xu Shi didn't dare to cry out, and after knelt down again, he continued, "Although Mrs. Cheng did something wrong out of anger, her heart towards Mrs. Cheng remains unchanged..."
Seeing Zhang Laosan raised his fist again, Xu Shi subconsciously hugged his head and lay down on the ground.It had been a long time since the fist landed on his body, so he raised his arm and took a look, only to find that Zhang Laosan was just staring at him with red eyes.After glancing around in embarrassment, Xu Shi got up, knelt and walked away from Zhang Laosan, and then continued: "Caomin knows that after Zhang Laosan finds out about the defilement of her, she will not have good fruit." Caomin felt sorry for her, so he gave her advice, as long as she forced Zhang Laosan to divorce her, Caomin was still willing to marry her."
"Bastard!" Zhang Laosan roared again, and rushed towards him, but was stopped by Zheng Liang, who had quick eyesight and quick hands.
After Xu Shi flinched a few times, he knelt down and took two steps to the side.
"You're already married, how can you marry her again?" Yue Jian snorted coldly.
Xu Shi said without thinking, "Caomin can marry her after divorcing his wife."
Yue Jian sneered: "You are very affectionate."
Xu Shi didn't dare to answer. Obviously, because of his second sister, he knew enough about Xie Xuan, so he knew Yue Jian's identity.After a moment of silence, Xu Shi continued: "Ms. Cheng rejected Caomin again. Caomin was so annoyed that he insulted her again, and then threatened her with this matter, asking her to go to Caomin to defame her every five days." The place is waiting, otherwise, the grass-roots people will spread the story of her disobedience to women."
Yuejian couldn't help but stab him a few more times, but was stopped by Chen Chaoyan.
Xu Shi also seemed to be a little afraid of her, so he speeded up and said, "She didn't say anything, and after getting dressed, she staggered away."

Chen Chaoyan looked at Zhang Laosan.
Yue Jian and the others also looked at him.
Zhang Laosan didn't argue, but just cursed 'bastard' over and over again with his eyes wide open.

Suppressing the ups and downs of emotions, after shaking his hand twice, Chen Chaoyan withdrew his gaze and signaled Xu Shi to continue.
Xu Shi then said: "Then on August 26, Mrs. Cheng came to look for Caomin as promised, and was killed on the way home. Caomin did not kill Mrs. Cheng, but Zhang Laosan believed that it was Caomin who killed him. Caomin was afraid After he reported to the official, he told the grassroots about the defilement of the Cheng family, so he kept avoiding him."
Chen Chaoyan looked at him sharply, "Every time Mrs. Cheng came to look for you, she was beaten and kicked by Mrs. Zhang when she went back, do you know?"
Xu Shi said awkwardly, "I know."
"Didn't you say that you will not change your infatuation with Cheng?" Chen Chaoyan mocked, "Would you bear to see her being beaten?"
Xu Shi argued: "Caomin has been persuading her to force Zhang Laosan to divorce her, but she is unwilling."
Chen Chaoyan suppressed the urge to hit someone, and asked again: "Since you didn't kill Mrs. Cheng, why did you give Zhang Laosan money?"
Xu Shi seemed to feel her anger, and replied very cautiously: "It's Cao Min's mother. Cao Min's mother doesn't want him to trouble Cao Min again, so she wants to send him away with money."
"You're lying." Chen Chaoyan poked him mercilessly, "With the support of the official mine, and your mother has such a temper, if you hadn't killed Mrs. Cheng, your family would never have given Zhang Laosan an money!"

Xu Shi blurted out: "Yes, it's Cao Min's second brother-in-law. He didn't want to cause trouble and asked Cao Min to pay for it!"
Xie Xuanbo looked at him calmly, and then told Zheng Liang, "Go and bring Tian Changlin here!"
"My lord, spare me!" Xu Shi knelt down on the ground in fright, and begged for mercy while kowtowing, "Yes, it was Lord Du and Lord Meng. They did not want Caomin to have anything to do with Cheng's death, so they confessed to Caomin. Comfort Zhang Laosan."
"Why don't they want you to have anything to do with Cheng's death?" Xie Xuan asked slowly.
Xu Shi began to cry: "They don't want to be dragged into this case."
Xie Xuan asked patiently: "Did they kill Mrs. Cheng?"
Xu Shi quickly shook his head, "No."
"If not, why should they worry about being involved in this case?" Xie Xuan asked, his tone becoming more and more calm.
Xu Shi knew that he couldn't hide it, and after his face turned pale again, he closed his eyes and confessed everything like beans poured out of a bamboo tube, "They, they are in love with Cao Min's second sister."
Chen Chaoyan frowned slightly, and asked uncertainly: "Who is your second sister dating?"
Xu Shi tightened his fingers and said like a fist, "With Master Du and Master Meng."
Chen Chaoyan:?
Yue Jian and others:?
Zheng Liang, who didn't know whether to invite someone:?
"Isn't your second sister married to Master Tian?" Zheng Liang asked suspiciously, "Could it be that I remembered it wrong?"
"Your memory is correct," Xu Shi said, his face turned pale for a while, then turned red again, "Cao Min's second sister is indeed married to Mr. Tian."
Zheng Liang was startled, "Then, then, what about your second sister..."
"It was Mrs. Du and Mrs. Meng who wanted to defile the Second Sister Caomin first." Xu Shi defended.
The relationship was a bit messy, he had to carefully stroke it, Zheng Liang scratched his head, and stepped aside obediently.
Xie Xuan clasped his hands, tapped the counter twice again, and asked slowly: "Your second sister was defiled by Du Jian'an and Meng Xun, and Tian Changlin didn't say anything?"
"Caomin's second brother-in-law..." Xu Shi couldn't speak.
Xie Xuan didn't force him, but signaled Zheng Liang again to bring Tian Changlin over.
Zheng Liang went immediately.
After a while, he brought Tian Changlin who had been placed alone.
As soon as Tian Changlin entered the second hall, he knelt down.
Tian Changlin has dark skin and a thin body. He belongs to the kind of person who is very inconspicuous in the crowd.
Xie Xuan clasped his hands on the desk, looked at him quietly for a while, and then said slowly: "Tell me, how did you kill Mrs. Cheng."
Tian Changlin's hands softened, and his face hit the ground.Struggling in embarrassment, he raised his hands up, kowtowed and said: "Your Majesty, you know, I don't even know Mrs. Cheng."
Xie Xuan said calmly: "Then let's talk about your wife first."
"My wife, she, she..." She paused for a while, but Tian Changlin was also speechless.
"How did she become a good friend of Du Jian'an and Meng Xun?" Xie Xuan asked straightforwardly.
Tian Changlin looked at Xu Shi suddenly, as if he couldn't believe it, he dared to say such a thing, "You..."
Xu Shi lowered his head, not daring to look at him.
Xie Xuan knocked on the desk, "Speak."
Tian Changlin withdrew his gaze and lowered his head. After a long time, he said in a difficult voice, "Before marrying Yueyue, Xiaguan was only the supervisor of the Beidu Military Supervision. When Yueyue married me, she was still a young girl , whether it is appearance or figure, they are all excellent. I know that Yueyue married me because of my identity. Although I am a supervisor, I am a handyman in charge of running errands for Lord Du and Lord Meng. Running errands One of my duties is to go to Jinyi County to buy tea for them every ten days, and Yueyue’s family happens to have more than 50 tea trees.”
"I was greedy for her youth and beauty, so I promised her that as long as she married me, I would buy tea from her home at a price of [-] yuan a catty."
"Her mother went to Jinyi County to inquire, and learned that the highest price of loose tea is only 38 cents a catty, so she readily agreed to the marriage."
"When Yueyue and I got married, Lord Du and Lord Meng also came. It was my fault, because I was incapable, so I failed to protect Yueyue, so that Yueyue was killed by Lord Du's aunt when she was paying homage. Lifting the hijab made her show her face in front of people without even entering the bridal chamber."
"I know that Lord Du and Lord Meng are greedy for women, but I never thought that they would target Yueyue."
"In order to tarnish Yueyue, Master Meng pretended to accept He Feng from Yueyue's natal village, and then used He Feng to trick Yueyue into his home, and together with Master Du, he tarnished Yueyue!"
"Yueyue came back crying. After she came back and kowtowed to me to admit her mistake, she was about to hang herself. Although I saved her, I hated myself for not being able to avenge her. It was Yueyue who comforted me and threatened me with this incident. Lord Du and Lord Meng promoted me to be the prime minister. It's just that Yueyue has been reduced to a plaything of Lord Du and Lord Meng since then."
Speaking of this, Tian Changlin cried bitterly, "It's because I have no ability, it's fine if I can't protect her, and she has to sell herself to protect me..."
Hearing his cry, Xu Shi turned his head to look at him in surprise.
Chen Chaoyan caught this point very sharply, but before she could speak, Xie Xuan held her hand again, and when she looked down at him, he said slowly: "You are lying."
Tian Changlin immediately kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty has clearly observed, everything that I said is true."
Xie Xuan didn't like him, he turned his gaze to Xu Shi, and said in a slow tone, "You tell me."
Just as Xu Shi was about to speak, Xie Xuan reminded casually: "If you dare to lie, I will break your hands and feet, and then hang you on the city wall of Jinyi County."
Xu Shi shivered for a moment, and after looking at the imperial guards on both sides, put away his careful thoughts and said, "Cao Min's second sister was not deceived to become the plaything of Master Du and Master Meng, she is willing."
Tian Changlin clenched his fists and said, "You are not allowed to say that about your second sister!"
"I'm not wrong." Xu Shi muttered a few words, then knelt and walked away from him, and then continued, "It was Cao Min's second sister who was the oldest in our village before she married him. A good-looking woman. So after the second sister married to the official mine, she returned to the village to show off. But the good times didn't last long, and Master Meng took He Feng as his concubine. Although she was a concubine, because Master Meng was Young Prisoner, He Feng's life is countless times better than that of Cao Min's second sister. The second sister complains that He Feng is not as good as her in everything, and wants to marry Master Meng who is worse than her and only wants to get close to her."
"You..." Tian Changlin wanted to stop him, but Xie Xuan stopped him with a cold look.
Seeing this, Xu Shi moved a little further away from him, and then continued: "The reason why Master Du and Master Meng promoted him is because Cao Min's mother didn't want her second sister to be worse than He Feng, so she went to find Master Du and Master Meng. Your Excellency is coming."
Tian Changlin fell on the ground in shame and anger, and cried loudly: "You spout blood, obviously I have no ability to protect Yueyue, and that's why she was persecuted. She didn't do it voluntarily!"
Xu Shi pursed his lips and muttered, "You can believe what she made up."
"Go and bring Qiu Shi and his second sister up." Xie Xuan ordered indifferently.
Zheng Liang went in a hurry again.
moment.
He brought the Qiu family who had lost his arrogance, Xu Yue and an eight or nine-year-old boy into the second hall.
Xie Xuan ignored Qiu's weeping and begging for mercy, but directly set his eyes on Xu Yue.
Xu Yue is only 25 or [-] years old, with a charming figure and outstanding appearance, and there is a natural charm between her brows and eyes.Seeing Xie Xuan sizing her up, she twisted her waist almost unconsciously, and said in a gentle voice: "The concubine has seen the prince."
Yue Jian was irritated by her behavior, she sneered disdainfully, looked her up and down with contempt for a moment, and said meanly: "It's really not changing at any time!"
After Xu Yue's face froze, she looked at Tian Changlin with shame and anger, "Waste, if it weren't for me, you would be a mud dog who was ordered by others! You have no skills, and you dare to humiliate me!"
Tian Changlin was about to defend himself, but before he opened his mouth, Xu Yue choked again: "Tian Changlin, why don't you show some shame! If you hadn't used money to bribe me so shamelessly, you thought I would marry you like this What a waste! You don’t take a pee to take a picture of yourself. You are ugly and black. I only fell in love with you if I was blind! If it weren’t for you, I would be the concubine for Mr. Meng! I didn’t ask you to count the loss Forget it, you still dare to come and humiliate me, I'll show you face!"
Tian Changlin was so ashamed by her scolding that he pressed his face to the ground, but it wasn't over yet.
The boy next to Xu Yue, almost as soon as Xu Yue finished speaking, said, "Trash, you want to be ashamed and throw it away by yourself, don't drag my mother and me! Uncle Du and Uncle Meng said, wait for my birthday At that time, just accept me as a godson, if you dare to spoil my good deeds, I will kill you!"
Tian Changlin said in pain: "I am your father, how could you talk to me like this."
"Bah! We Kang'er don't have such a good-for-nothing father like you." Seeing Xu Yue's nonsense, Qiu Shi, who was scared at first, did nothing, and became arrogant again in an instant, "Our Kang'er is the son of Master Du and Master Meng. If Master Du and Master Meng work together to cultivate it, don't hold back our Kang'er!"
"mother……"
"Shut up! Who is your mother?" Qiu said angrily, "My son-in-law is only Mr. Du and Mr. Meng. What are you!"
Tian Changlin fell on the ground and did not speak.
But Qiu, Xu Yue and the child did not let him go.
The three of them cursed him with various vicious words in succession.
The hatred in those words can almost be condensed into substance.
Xie Xuan's good patience has been gradually exhausted amidst their cursing.After Chen Chaoyan noticed this, she immediately said, "Master Zheng, please take them down and imprison them!"
"Why do you..." Qiu's arrogant voice stopped abruptly after meeting Xie Xuan's ice-like gaze.
After watching Zheng Liang take everyone away, Chen Chaoyan calmed down for a moment, then turned to look at Zhang Laosan, "You go back first, after I find the murderer, I will send someone to Yuangou Village to inform you."
Zhang Laosan was stunned by the quarrel of Xu Shi's family. Hearing her words, he turned around and left without saying anything.
When they walked away, Chen Chaoyan breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to speak when Xie Xuan squeezed her hand and said, "The murderer is not Xu Shi."
Chen Chaoyan nodded.
"What should we check next?" Xie Xuan asked.
"Let's go back first." Chen Chaoyan pinched his brows and said.Her thoughts were still on Tian Changlin's matter, and she had to calm down before she could decide what to investigate next.
Xie Xuan nodded, got up and led her back to Yuqingzhu.
"Take a break first, don't worry." Waiting for Shushu and Yuejian to bring tea, Xie Xuan comforted Chen Chaoyan.
Chen Chaoyan said 'hmm', and was not in the mood to speak.After slowly drinking half a cup of tea, his thoughts were still immersed in Tian Changlin's affairs, and he couldn't calm down for a long time, so he got up and went to the desk, took out the map of Jinyi County, and told Yuejian while looking at it: "Grind ink."
After Yuejian polished the ink, Chen Chaoyan took out the paper, dipped the pen in the ink, thought for a while, and then centered on Tian Changlin, listed all the relevant figures of the Xu family and Beidu Military Supervisor.
After finishing writing, Chen Chaoyan took two steps back, looked at the name on the paper, and frowned slightly.
Yuejian followed her to look at those names, and hummed: "If I were Tian Changlin, I would divorce Xu Yue and make her a concubine. Let's see if she is still arrogant!"
"Obviously because of him, the Xu family became rich, and Xu Yue also had the opportunity to get close to Du Jian'an, Meng Xun and others. In the end, their family still has the face to call him a waste!"
"It's fine for the Xu family to scold, how old is that child? He's so vicious!"
The servant said casually: "With Tian Changlin's temper, even if he has the heart to write a divorce letter, he probably doesn't have the guts."
"That's why I'm even more angry." After humming twice, Yuejian seemed to discover a new continent, pointing at the names of Qiu, Xu Yue and the child, and said in surprise, "Look at the names of these people!"
Chen Chaoyan and Shi Shu stepped forward together, and asked at the same time: "What's wrong with the names of these people?"
"That's, that's..." Yuejian thought for a while, but couldn't find a suitable adjective, and finally said simply, "The three of them, grandparents and grandchildren, do they look like those who were killed?"
Ling You came over and took a look, then asked, "Where does it look like?"
Yue Jian gave him a white look, "I said similar, but I didn't mean their names and appearances, but..."
"Do things!" The servant said, "Ms. Qiu is arrogant and arrogant, Mrs. Tao is gossip, and Aunt Jiang forced her daughter to sell herself to make money. They are all unreasonable old women. It is not much different from the Xu Yue described by Tian Changlin, as for the rest..."
