The next day, the execution room of the prison.

Qu Baiyu: "Have you seen this person?"

Li Xinu looked up at Yuan Tong'er who was standing aside, and shook her head.

"I have never seen a civilian woman before."

"Look carefully, she was at the scene when your Li family was destroyed. Do you really not know her?"

Li Xinu glanced at Yuan Tong'er again, her haggard face was calm.

"do not know."

Everyone present became curious about her reaction.

Cui Xiaoyi asked: "Li Xinu, you don't seem to care much about the destruction of your family? What's the reason?"

Li Zenv was indifferent, "So what if I care? People die like lights going out. If I care about them, can they survive? I just hope that you can catch the murderer as soon as possible and restore peace to the people of the city."

After she finished speaking, she looked at Qu Baiyu again, her dull eyes full of temptation, "Sir, I have said everything I can say, when will you let me go back? My husband-in-law..."

"Your husband-in-law Fan Shi'an? That fool? You are a dignified escort girl, and you are from a wealthy family. Why did you marry him? What did he do to you that made you have to marry him?"

"Why do you say this, sir?!"

Li Xinnu's calm attitude suddenly became agitated.

"What do you mean, what did he do to me? My husband-in-law knows how to deal with cold and heat, and he is humane. I don't know he is much better than you dogs who see people with their eyes!"

"presumptuous!"

Cui Xiaoyi shouted.

Qu Baiyu didn't care, raised the corners of his lips slightly, and continued to say calmly: "You seem to care more about your husband-in-law than the Li family. Why?"

Li Zenyue lowered her head and refused to answer.

Qu Baiyu continued: "Your husband, Fan Shi'an, although his mind is not yet developed, he has superb paper-tying skills..."

Li Xinu immediately panicked when she heard about paper-tying, and hurriedly explained: "Although he can tie paper, the Li family's affairs have absolutely nothing to do with him!"

Qu Baiyu chuckled, "Did I say that he was involved in this matter?"

Li Xinnu was stunned and could not speak.

Qu Baiyu continued to ask, "There are rumors that you and your mother's family had a long-standing rift and stopped contacting you after you got married. Do you hate them for marrying you to Fan Shi'an, a fool? Not long ago, you went back to the Li family and made trouble. It was very unpleasant. Not long after you left, the Li family was wiped out... Was it you or your idiot husband?"

He deliberately called him a fool several times to irritate Li Xinu.

As expected, Lisenu was irritated and said angrily: "I say it again, he is not a fool! No one forced me, I want to marry him!"

Qu Baiyu sat on the high seat, still looking condescending and overlooking all living beings, with an indifferent tone, "So, is it you or him?"

The frosty attitude made people feel dazed for a while.

Li Zenyue's eyes flickered, she was obviously trapped by him, she opened and closed the corners of her mouth slightly, not knowing how to continue speaking.

Qu Baiyu took advantage of the victory and pursued, "You don't have to worry about Fan Shi'an. He is already in another torture chamber and will be interrogated by Mr. Liu. Whether the Li family's matter has anything to do with him or not depends on what he says."

Fan Shian is immature, and to put it bluntly, he is a fool.

If Master Liu is as fond of setting traps as Qu Baiyu, I'm afraid it won't be long. Whether Fan Shian is the real murderer or not, it depends on whether the powerful people want to close the case.

When people at the top look at people at the bottom, they are no different than gods looking at ants in the world. They can decide the life or death of the people at the bottom with just one word.

Therefore, it is really unclear who will settle the case and how.

There was a long silence in the execution room, and Li Xinnu must have thought of this.

"... Sir, do you know why common women are called 'washing ladies'?"

Everyone was confused and looked at her in confusion.

"...There are seven girls in the Li family, six of whom are nameless, and there is only one girl named Xi."

More than a hundred years ago, the Li Family Escort Agency moved to Shangjing City to become bigger and stronger, but strange things started from then on.

The Li family has always been prosperous, but since they moved to Shangjing, all the children in the family have been girls.

They didn't pay much attention to it at first, but when there were more and more girls in the family, and the boys born before the move also happened one after another, the patriarch of the family started to pay attention to it.

They found a Feng Shui master and finally found the reason at the ancestral mausoleum.

The Feng Shui master said that it was a strange Feng Shui point called "Fairy Skin".

This kind of tomb only protects daughters but not sons, so the Li family will only give birth to more and more girls in the future, but no sons.

In their eyes, the daughter is just a relative, someone else's daughter-in-law who was born in their family's belly.

A prosperous daughter means prospering other people's families!

If you want your family to prosper, you must "wash your daughters" for nine generations.

The so-called "washing of girls" means that if the first child gives birth to a boy, it will be fine. If the first child is a girl, all will be killed to ensure that the first child is a boy.

Otherwise, the family's luck will be transferred to the girl, the Feng Shui luck will bless the son-in-law and grandchildren, and the family will decline.

As a result, several generations of the Li family were wiped out. For more than a hundred years, not a single girl was left in the world.

In this generation, Li Xinu was born. She was the seventh child, and she had to be killed according to custom.

When she was born, her father abandoned her in a corner of the yard and wanted her to freeze to death, but she was still alive after one night because of her hard life. So her father pushed her into the water tank again and tried to drown her.

As a result, the water tank broke for no reason.

After failing to kill her twice in a row, the mother felt that God intended to keep this baby girl, but she couldn't bear it anymore. After all, she was her own flesh and blood.

But her father refused and wanted to throw her into the frozen river.

It was the mother-in-law of the Fan family's paper shop who stopped him.

The mother-in-law said: "This child is still alive after I asked you to wash it twice. It is God's will. You cannot violate it! There are seven girls in the Li family, and all six of them have no names..."

There was only one washer girl left.

Probably because they have committed too many sins, the Li family has nothing to do with it.

But those who committed the evil did not feel that it was their fault, only that it was Lizenu who defeated them.

For many sleepless nights, she felt uneasy in the eyes of her biological father who wanted to cut her alive.

How many years have she been called the name Washing Girl, Washing Girl, and ridiculed that she should not have survived?

Li Zenu said everything indifferently, and two lines of clear tears passed by sadly.

"Sir, it is the greatest blessing for a commoner woman to marry Fan Shi'an in her life. She has exhausted all her courage to escape from such a home, so how can she have the courage to kill them? It is them who want to kill, not me, Li Xinu!"

There was a long silence in the torture chamber, and even the cold Qu Baiyu seemed to be slightly moved.

Yuan Tong'er thought about the sentence "There are seven girls in the Li family, and all six of them have no names." She was even more frightened when she thought about it.

I also thought about how many witchcraft and witchcraft rumors all refer to "women are born with evil", as if women are born dirty, it is the woman's fault that the country is destroyed, and it is the woman's fault that the family is ruined.

Those girls who were born into families that favored sons over daughters were not as good as an orphan like me.

The silence in the execution room was suddenly broken by the sound of "Xi'er".

Li Xinu, who was still indifferent, suddenly looked around and responded to the "Xi'er" sounds.

"Shi'an, I'm here!"

Fan Shi'an heard Li Xinu's voice, broke through the obstruction of the yamen guards at the door and ran over, but was pushed to the ground by two groups of yamen guards at the same time.

"There is no room for collision when the prince is in front of you!"

Fan Shi'an was pushed to the ground, with his face pressed against the ground. After seeing that Li Xinu was fine, he felt relieved and stopped making noise.

Qu Baiyu waved his hand, and the Yamen servant pulled Fan Shi'an up from the ground and made him kneel next to Li Xinu.

Mr. Liu arrived belatedly from outside, bowed and sat aside, interrogating the two of them together with Qu Baiyu.

"I sympathize with your situation, but this case must continue to be tried. Li Xinu, do you understand?"

Qu Baiyu's tone was rare and softened.

Probably because she saw that the person she cared about was safe, Li Xinu's mood improved a lot. She nodded meekly and replied: "You can ask as many questions as you want, and civilian women will answer everything."

Master Liu handed Qu Baiyu the transcript of Fan Shian's previous interrogation, and then continued to ask: "Li Xinu, do you know Yuan Ji?"

Li Zenu thought about it secretly for a moment, and felt that the name was somewhat familiar, but she couldn't remember it clearly.

The yamen servant placed Yuan Ji's portrait in front of her. Li Xinu hesitated for a moment and said, "Is it him?"
