New widow

It was a hot summer day. When Butler Qiu raised his hand, the clouds in the sky dispersed, and a scorching sun emerged. Although Chu Zhixian knew it was a coincidence, he couldn't help but take a step back. Butler Qiu looked at Magistrate Chu: "What we ask for is really not much."

"You have to know that with such a family..." Chu Zhixian still wanted to persuade Butler Qiu, but Butler Qiu had already laughed: "What is such a family? Can't we still see what happened to the Wan family?"

What happened to Wanjia? Chu Zhixian looked at Mr. Kuang. Mr. Kuang looked ashen-faced and looked at the open door of the magistrate's office. Su Qiao and Yu Yulan had already walked in.

"Let's go, we want to see what kind of person can cause trouble." Butler Qiu said slowly and walked inside.

"Stop!" Chu Zhixian shouted to Butler Qiu. Butler Qiu turned around and looked at Chu Zhixian. Chu Zhixian's smile was full of malice: "You are just a steward of the Shangshu Mansion, and you are listed as a lowly official. Do you think you can go in and out of the Yamen?" .”

The words "listed as a lowly" made Butler Qiu look a little dazed, and then Butler Qiu smiled: "Thank you for reminding me, but you may not know."

Butler Qiu's voice seemed to come from far away: "Our master, for his mercy, released us a few days ago. Now, I have turned from lowliness to good."

A slave who loses his citizenship cannot take the imperial examination for three generations. When he sees his old master, he must perform the courtesy of master and servant. But other than that, there is not much difference between being a beloved person.

Chu Zhixian really didn't expect that Butler Qiu would quit his citizenship. After all, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Even if the Shangshu Mansion is defeated, it is still a giant on this ground and cannot be shaken by others at will.

For Butler Qiu, it is more cost-effective to continue to rely on Shangshu Mansion.

"Please!" Butler Qiu made a gesture. Chu Zhixian looked at Butler Qiu coldly before walking forward.

The prefect only felt that his life was unlucky. These things happened one after another, and this drum alone was beaten many times. And when the prefect went to the court in a panic and saw Su Qiao and Yu Yulan walking in, the prefect just wanted to ask the government officials to kick them out, but the prefect knew that this was impossible, so the prefect looked at Su Qiao and Yu Yulan standing below. , patted the gavel and said, "What's the matter with you guys?"

"My affairs were not explained clearly in the hall last time." As soon as Yu Yulan said these words, the prefect wanted to stuff Yu Yulan's mouth, but the prefect could only hold on and said: "You are talking nonsense. Those who talk nonsense and roar in court should be kicked out."

Yu Yulan couldn't help but chuckle. This laughter was full of ridicule towards the prefect. The prefect picked up the sign and said, "Show it for me!"

"Wait a minute!" Suqiao took a step forward: "Sir, there are still my things to do."

"Ms. Kuang, you are suspected of poisoning Mrs. Qiu. I have arrested you many times, but you have escaped. Now you have thrown yourself into the trap. It's very, very good." After saying this, the prefect picked up the lot and said, "Give me the money." She dragged him down, slapped him with forty boards, and then put him in jail."

"What makes you think I'm here to surrender?" Suqiao saw the yamen officer walking towards her, stretched out her hand to stop him, then looked at the prefect and said.

"You come to the Yamen with a murder case. Apart from surrendering, I can't think of anything else." The prefect could only insist on saying. Su Qiao sneered again: "It's ridiculous. You keep saying it, but there is no evidence."

"There are both witnesses and physical evidence, Mrs. Kuang, don't make any excuses." The prefect just wanted to kill Su Qiao immediately. How could he let Su Qiao make the distinction here?

Suqiao's eyes were full of jest: "There is a good witness and all the physical evidence is here. Lord Magistrate, where is your witness?"

"Come here, call the witness!" The prefect knew that he could not start a lawsuit with Suqiao, so he just shouted loudly, and the Yamen below shouted. Su Qiao still stood there, looking at the magistrate with a smile on her face, as if she was watching how the magistrate's scene would go on.

"Master Magistrate!" Magistrate Chu and Master Kuang both walked into the lobby. When they saw the magistrate, they bowed and went down.

"My lords, I am ascending to the throne room, please sit down next to me." The prefect just bowed his hands to the two of them as a courtesy. Master Kuang did not sit down, but looked at Su Qiao: "Sir, I am a naughty girl, please handle it for me."

"Lord Kuang, your words are serious." The magistrate said politely to Lord Kuang. Su Qiao smiled again, the smile was full of ridicule. Seeing Su Qiao's smile, Mr. Kuang really wanted to pinch Su Qiao to death. How could there be such a daughter in this world? She didn't know how to share the worries of her parents, but instead asked her parents to come forward and worry about her.

"Sir, this daughter..." Before Master Kuang could finish his words, he heard Butler Qiu's voice: "The villain has come to file a complaint against the villain's niece's son-in-law and poisoned the villain's niece."

This is really true. Everything happened at once. The magistrate couldn't keep the smile on his face and said to Butler Qiu, "What are you talking about?"

"The villain has evidence." Butler Qiu said the same thing. The prefect looked at Butler Qiu and said, "Evidence? Even if there is evidence, I can't come to you until I finish the case here."

"That's funny." Yu Yulan said calmly: "Is this case of yours also the case of Mrs. Chu being poisoned? It sounds like two cases, but it's actually one case. Why, you don't know how to try a case? , are you going to ask your wife to come out and arrest someone for you like that day?"

When the magistrate's wife was mentioned, the magistrate's expression changed, and then Magistrate Chu said: "Okay, okay, you are really in the same group."

"Don't say anything, lest you be accused of yelling in court." Yu Yulan replied coldly. Chu Zhixian stared at Yu Yulan: "What grudge do I have against you? Why do you want to harm me like this?"

"You killed a person, and you want to blame an innocent person. Now, you tell me that you and I have no enmity. Do you believe this?" Yu Yulan's words made Chu Zhixian Her face suddenly turned pale, and Yu Yulan stared at him: "What on earth do you think? Do you think that others will never know that you have done something wrong, or that there are people who are willing to die for you? Since you think that it is natural for others to die. , then why don’t you die?”

Yu Yulan kept saying the word "death", which made Chu Zhixian's face turn red with anger. He stared at Yu Yulan: "Okay, okay, okay, you are really such an unreasonable person. My wife, she married me, Everything about her is mine, I want her..."

The magistrate reached out and picked up the gavel and patted it. Magistrate Chu suddenly stopped talking. Yu Yulan also smiled: "Very good, very good. It turns out that this is what all the heartless men in the world say."

"If you keep roaring in court, you will be kicked out." The prefect could only say this. Yu Yulan had already finished what she should say and did not bother with the prefect. She still stood there with a smile on her face that was full of ridicule.
