I am imprisoned in Kaifeng Mansion

Chen Sanlang kowtowed to Han Qi immediately, "It is true that the two wives ordered us to rob their wives. The villains just want to make money. Who would have thought that they would take the opportunity to drown their wives?" , didn’t even let go of the two woodcutters who came after me!”

"According to what you said, none of the dozen or so of you did anything, but their two mothers killed three of them?" Cui Tao asked.

Chen Sanlang hurriedly said: "The villain is guilty, the villain did do it, but the villain just wanted to tie the three of them up and scare them twice. It's also because the villain is young and can't speak when he gets excited. Accidentally told about the partnership between the two of them and us. Who would have thought that the two wives were cruel, and took the opportunity to kick them into the pool, drowning all three of them!

They say that's the end of the matter, and if it doesn't, it's all bad luck.In order to stop us from talking, they distributed most of the dowry brought by Mrs. Hu to the little people, and let the little people dispose of the body, so that everyone will forget about it, and no one is allowed to mention it in the future, otherwise We all go to jail together. "

Chen Sanlang went on to say that they were all timid. At that time, people came to Qingyao, and they didn't dare to take the risk of transporting the corpse out, so they temporarily buried the corpse in the sand next to the brick kiln.

They knew that the brick kiln was no longer in use, and the sand pile was left untouched for the time being, and they wanted to wait for the opportunity to turn around before transporting the corpse away.But none of them dared to touch the three corpses again, and they dragged on for a long time, thinking that the corpses would be rotten and turned into bones after so long, and they would not be able to recognize anything, even if they were dug out. Not afraid, so just ignore it.

It wasn't until people from Kaifeng came to investigate a few days ago that they learned that the three corpses had turned into mummies.

"Little people steal and play tricks all the time, and frighten people to take advantage of it. It's the little people who are wrong. The little people are guilty, but the little people really didn't kill people. I beg Han to push the officials to learn!" Chen Sanlang shouted for injustice and kowtowed to Han Qi.

Han Qi asked Chen Sanlang if he could remember the exact day when the incident happened.

Chen Sanlang: "May 28, the villain usually doesn't remember the date very much, but because such a big event happened that day, the villain remembers it very clearly."

Han Qi asked him when he robbed people on May 28, and Chen Sanlang replied that it was in the afternoon.

"Did it rain at that time?" Han Qi asked again.

Chen Sanlang froze for a moment, frowned and thought carefully, "I don't remember clearly."

Then I asked Mrs. Sun and Mrs. Zhou with the same words, and they also answered the same day, they set off in the afternoon, and they couldn't remember whether it was raining or not.

Afterwards, Wang Zhao led people to interrogate more than a dozen followers who were arrested together with Chen Sanlang. All confessions were consistent with Chen Sanlang's description.

"Since they already knew that the Kaifeng Mansion had found the mummy, it would be normal if they had made preparations in advance and colluded with each other." Cui Tao did not think that these testimonies were all credible.

"Then which of these two groups of people is telling the truth?" Li Yuan felt that he had scratched his head and couldn't figure it out.

Finally, the case that happened more than a year ago finally got a clue, and the two suspects who were found out still insisted on their own opinions.Li Yuan was so anxious that now he only hated that he was not there at the time, so that he could know the truth.

Cui Tao looked at Han Qi.

"According to the local county annals, the morning of May 28 was sunny and rainless, and suddenly it rained heavily at noon. It has not been a day or two for Mrs. Hu to pay homage to the Buddha at the Great Buddha Temple. Why did he hurry on the road when it was raining on this day? Go home?" Han Qi said.

The weather conditions recorded in the county annals must be accurate, and it must be much more accurate than Chen Sanlang, Zhou Pozi and others.

"There must be some reason why they are in a hurry to go back, and this reason was not explained by Mrs. Sun and Mrs. Zhou. It can be seen that they lied about this matter."

After Cui Tao agreed, the topic changed.

"But there are also problems with the testimony of Chen Sanlang and others. If the two wives are really cruel people, they don't need to go through such a lot of trouble. They called Chen Sanlang and a dozen people to help. They are all people who serve Mrs. Hu personally. , There are many opportunities to do it yourself, why let so many people know about it, not to mention the added risk, but also divide the money equally."

Han Qi nodded in agreement with Cui Tao's words.

After hearing these words, Li Yuan became even more confused. He scratched his head and stroked it seriously, "In other words, it is indeed possible that the person was killed by Chen Sanlang and the others? But the two women are not innocent?"

"Both sides are lying," Han Qi concluded, "both testifying in their own favor."

Criminals want to escape punishment for felony by sophistry.This situation is very common in the process of trial.

Cui Tao ordered Wang Zhao to get the picture of Jin Buyao, and asked the two wives, Chen Sanlang and others whether they had seen Jin Buyao and where he was going.

Chen Sanlang and the others expressed that they had seen Jin Buyao from Hu Lianzhi. After they snatched Jin Buyao from Hu Lianzhi, they wanted to keep him, but they were taken away by the two wives.Both women said that Jin Buyao was taken away by Chen Sanlang and the others.

Cui Tao asked them to confront each other in court, and the two quarreled with each other in court.

"I happen to have a few talismans here. You just need to hold up the talisman papers and swear, after a while, the papers will be burnt and it will come true."

The two women immediately swore that he hadn't taken the golden step, so they would die badly, and the whole family would die badly.

When it came to Chen Sanlang and the others, there were a few people who were obviously timid. After hesitating, they raised their hands like Chen Sanlang and swore a poisonous oath.

Chen Sanlang's attitude towards the trial was indeed arrogant. If he was the only one being tried, it might be difficult for Cui Tao to judge.But if they are too many, there will always be people who are weaker and timid, and they will easily show their flaws.

The situation is already obvious, the person should be killed by Chen Sanlang and others, and the two wives did not lie on this point.

Instead, Cui Tao did not interrogate Chen Sanlang and the others. These people had obviously colluded with the confession. If there is no evidence to break them, they should all grit their teeth and deny it.Cui Tao ordered them to go down and interrogate Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Sun first.

Cui Tao immediately mentioned Mrs. Zhou's son and Mrs. Sun's daughter, "I just went to see them. They all look good, sensible and love to laugh."

Mrs. Zhou thought of her youngest son, and Mrs. Sun thought of her daughter who was about to marry...

"If it wasn't for your instigation, the Hu family would rush home in a rainy day? It's raining heavily, and Chen Sanlang and others like to pretend to be robbers on the side of the road to scare people, so they shouldn't be so stupid that in that kind of weather, uncertain Waiting in the rain on the side of the road is stupid. There is only one possibility, they are sure they will wait for someone. Chen Sanlang said that you hired them, this should be true, and he is not lying."

Cui Tao's words made Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Sun start to sweat nervously and tremble slightly.

"If you two instigated this case, even if you didn't do it yourself, you are indeed the mastermind. How should you be sentenced?" Cui Tao looked at Wang Zhao.

Wang Zhao shouted: "A servant who plots to murder the master will be punished with a higher crime, and be executed!"

When Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Sun heard the word "Zhan Lijue", they trembled violently in fright.

"Think about whether your children will be able to hold their heads up in front of outsiders in the future? You are murderers! Marry? Who dares to marry? Marry a wife? Who dares to marry? Those are the daughter and son of the murderer!"

Cui Tao turned around and asked Li Yuan if he would like his daughter or son to marry a child of such a family.

"Am I crazy! I won't even be crazy! I just want them to get away!" Li Yuan cooperated with a look of disgust.

"You are the mastermind!" Cui Tao repeatedly identified, "Whether you killed the murder yourself or not, you are also the mastermind!"

It was hard for Mrs. Zhou to bear such a reputation, her eyes widened in shock, and she shook her head: "No, no, we are not!"

"We didn't kill anyone! We didn't think Mrs. Hu would die!" Grandma Sun also panicked, and then defended, "It wasn't our idea! We didn't instigate it, it was Li Erniang! Li Erniang!"

Out.

Cui Tao couldn't help but look at Han Qi, his face was already gloomy and cold.Because he knew very well what it meant to involve Li Erniang.

The gavel resounded throughout the courtroom.

Neither Mrs. Zhou nor Mrs. Sun dared to lie anymore, and confessed honestly one after another.

Ever since Hu Lianzhi left Li's house to go to the Great Buddha Temple, Li Erniang would send people to Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Sun from time to time, either to send money or things, and ask Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Sun to take good care of Hu Lianzhi.Zhou and Sun watched Li Erniang grow up, so they have a deeper affection for Li Erniang.Seeing that Li Erniang is so considerate, they couldn't help feeling sorry for Li Erniang even more. They also knew that Li Erniang cared about Hu Lianzhi so much, but they really hoped that Hu Lianzhi would give her a chance to match her marriage with Han Liulang.

Because they have benefited too much from Li Erniang, the two wives felt that Hu Lianzhi was a little unreasonable.They are all a family, and they don't want to be forced to marry, so why can't they just say a few words and help introduce them?Although there were unpleasant incidents before, how can there be overnight feuds between relatives?

The two mothers-in-law Zhou and Sun comforted Hu Lianzhi whenever they had the opportunity.But this time Hu Lianzhi is not at all like she listened to persuasion when she first got married, it's useless to wear your mouth.

The two mothers-in-law Zhou and Sun could only complain in their hearts that Hu Lianzhi was uninterested, but there was nothing they could do.

In the middle of May, Li Erniang went to the Great Buddha Temple in person, and discussed with Zhou and Sun that it is better to come up with an idea to make Mrs. Hu return home as soon as possible, so that she can reconcile with her father as soon as possible.Zhou and Sun's mother-in-law have long been tired of the poor life in the temple. One really thinks that it is inappropriate for the two husbands and wives to be separated for a long time, and the other is that they themselves miss the children at home, so they immediately raised their hands to agree with Li Erniang's idea. .

"Grandma Tong came with Li Erniang. She asked us if we had a chance now, would you like to help Erniang. She said that Mrs. Hu was determined not to look for Han Liulang no matter how much she persuaded her, so she couldn't just use it. mouth to lobby her."

When Han Qi was mentioned, Grandma Sun and Pozi Zhou looked at Han Qi who was sitting at the head of the hall in fear.

Han Qi looked back at them indifferently, acting extremely calm, and his gaze was so calm that it was frighteningly calm. Although he didn't see much hatred, it inexplicably made the person being watched tremble.

Grandma Sun continued with her lips trembling: "She said that a strong dose of medicine should be given, and if Madam Hu is moved once, it may be effective..."

From this, Mrs. Tong mentioned that on their way to Dafo Temple this time, they encountered a group of young hooligans pretending to be robbers to scare people.If this is arranged, to scare Hu Lianzhi a little bit, and then ask Li Erniang to bring someone to rescue, wouldn't Hu Lianzhi not be moved?

They all knew that Hu Lianzhi was a soft-hearted person, and no matter what, she would accept Li Erniang's favor to save her, so she definitely had no reason not to agree to what Li Erniang begged her for.

Both Zhou and Sun's mother-in-law thought this proposal was excellent and were willing to cooperate with Li Erniang and Tong's mother-in-law.Mrs. Tong asked the two women to listen and follow their arrangement later.

On May 27th, the two of them received a message from Mrs. Tong, telling them that they had to leave in the afternoon of May 28th, and they also gave them a letter written by Li Erniang saying that her father was seriously ill. use.

Tong Pozi also told Zhou and Sun that there would be "accidents" after they set off, so there was no need to be afraid, it was just a show, and then Li Erniang would bring people to rescue them.

The two mothers-in-law Zhou and Sun sounded out Hu Lianzhi's tone first. Seeing that Hu Lianzhi insisted on waiting for Li Chaole to apologize in person before going back to Li's house, they couldn't say anything more.

It started to rain at noon the next day, and seeing this, the two of them couldn't persuade Hu Lianzhi to leave today, so they could only pretend to receive the letter anxiously and tell Hu Lianzhi that Master Hu Lianzhi was seriously ill at home.After all, it was her husband. After Hu Lianzhi read Li Erniang's letter, how could he stay in the temple, so of course he chose to hurry back.

When they were about to arrive in Chenliu County, their car was robbed by Chen Sanlang and others, and they were forced to go to Qingyao.The two mothers-in-law Zhou and Sun knew it well and were not too scared, but Hu Lianzhi panicked.She fetched the dowry that she carried with her, and only kept the golden step in her bosom, then handed over all the remaining money and begged Chen Sanlang and others to let them go.

When Chen Sanlang and others saw Qian's eyes open, there was no reason not to want it, so he naturally wanted to accept it.Because it was raining, the clothes were wet and stuck to the skin. People with sharp eyes saw something hidden in Hu Lianzhi's chest.Chen Sanlang and others naturally felt that it was a treasure, so they asked her to hand it over, but Hu Lianzhi refused, and grabbed the hatchback, which angered Chen Sanlang and his gang, then punched and kicked Hu Lianzhi, and pushed him into the pool.At this time, the two villagers who followed were also found, and they were arrested and held down in the water.

Chen Sanlang and the others were only in their teens, young and energetic, and when they became crazy, their actions were not deep or shallow. By the time they realized something was wrong, they were all dead.

Zhou Pozi and Sun Pozi were dumbfounded.Chen Sanlang and the others were also frightened, and everyone became quiet in an instant, even the sound of breathing was gone.

After that, Zhou and Sun's mother-in-law cried and called for murder.

Chen Sanlang finally came back to his senses, and stared at Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Sun. Zhou and Sun had a bad feeling and begged for mercy in fright.

At this time, people came from Qingyao, and Chen Sanlang left a few brothers to stop them, and he took the body away, ordered Zhou and Sun to dig a pit and bury the body, and threatened them that if they dared to speak heresy, These people will unanimously say that they killed the people.Moreover, this halfway hijacking was done after they were hired for money, so the people who hired them said that there were two women who would cooperate if they knew about it.

Zhou and Sun's mother-in-law knew that they were also innocent, so they could only follow suit, shut up and leave.On the way back to Chenliu, they met Li Erniang and her men rushing over.

Li Erniang had an accident when she went out, and someone drove a car on the street and pulled a carload of firewood to block the road, so she came late.

The two mothers-in-law Zhou and Sun explained what happened to Li Erniang in tears, and Li Erniang was also very frightened. She didn't expect this to happen.Later, at the suggestion of Mrs. Tong, Li Erniang arranged for Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Sun to live in Meihuaguan.The original plan was to let the two of them live there for two years, and when the matter completely subsided, they would make up a reason for them to show up.

Cui Tao and Han Qi heard the story and felt that the situation was basically logical.

After that, Chen Sanlang and others were interrogated, and they were asked to confront Zhou and Sun's wives again, but Chen Sanlang was stubborn and refused to admit it.But at that time, they were just onlookers, and the few teenagers who hadn't really killed anyone were unable to guard them, and finally confessed and told the truth.The whole process they described is basically consistent with the confession of Mrs. Zhou and Sun.

They also said that after the incident, Chen Sanlang ordered them to take away the two bundles of firewood and hatchets left by the two villagers on the road.

As for that Jin Buyao, Chen Sanlang took the two brothers to a jewelry store called Zhenbao Pavilion in Bianjing to sell it. Can sell at a high price.Chen Sanlang naturally distributed the money he got to everyone, so that everyone would shut up obediently and honestly, no one blamed anyone, and no one would keep anything from that day.

"I... We really didn't expect that just playing like that, teasing them, people will die!"

Faced with the confessions of many brothers, Chen Sanlang naturally couldn't keep his mouth shut, and defended himself painfully and remorsefully.

Wang Zhao never speaks nonsense in the courtroom, but this time Wang Zhao couldn't hold back, and stared at Chen Sanlang fiercely: "What a beast."

Han Qi sat silently behind the case, staring indifferently at Chen Sanlang, Mrs. Zhou, Mrs. Wang and others who were crying and confessing. After a long while, he said that Li Erniang and Mrs. Tong should be interrogated.

As important stakeholders, Li Chaole and others should also be detained in Kaifeng Mansion, awaiting trial.

Cui Tao and Wang Zhao took people to Chenliu's and Li's house together. Because the investigation and arrest of Zhou and Sun's wives were carried out quietly, there was no disturbance, and the Li's house didn't hear any news.

As soon as Cui Tao and others came, they made sure Li Erniang and Tong Pozi were right.Coincidentally, when Li Chaole was arrested, he was hiding in his room, drinking and eating meat.Although Li Chaole resigned from office and Ding You, he was able to return to his original post after the filial piety period.This move now will prevent him from having the word 'official' in the future.

When Li Erniang and Tong Pozi were arrested, they still looked puzzled and asked Wang Zhao and others: "What evidence do you have to suddenly break in and arrest us?"

"You instigated killing!" Wang Zhao said angrily.

In fact, in detail, the two instigated Chen Sanlang and other gangsters to hijack the car to scare Hu Lianzhi, which is not considered abetment to kill, but it was precisely this hateful behavior that killed Hu Lianzhi and the two villagers with a righteous heart. The outcome of instigating a murder is no different.

When Li Erniang and Tong Pozi heard this, they were startled. The small apprehensions that remained in their hearts suddenly became bigger and became endless fears.When they heard that Mrs. Zhou, Mrs. Sun and Chen Sanlang confessed again, the two of them fully realized: It's over!

When Li Erniang and Tong Pozi were dragged out, their legs were weak and they had to be dragged out.

When Li Chaole was brought out, she saw that her second daughter was tied up like a prisoner. Before she could wipe off the oil stains on her mouth, she grinned and shouted, "What's going on here? Why did you arrest my second daughter?" ?”

"When you arrive at Kaifeng Mansion, you will understand!"

Cui Tao was too lazy to talk nonsense with Li Chaole, so she took an extra look at Li Erniang. It was true that she was slender and had a bit of beauty, but it was not so attractive.But I don't know why she had the illusion of "give me a chance to meet Han Liulang, and he will fall in love with me"?If there is no such illusion, if it is not necessary to strive for this so-called "opportunity" to break the moral bottom line and act selfishly, why would Hu Lianzhi and two well-meaning villagers die?

Once people's stupidity and greed become fierce, it really surpasses ordinary people's imagination.

This time, Li Erniang finally got her wish and could see Han Qi again, but only in court.

On the way to Kaifeng Mansion, Li Erniang was so frightened that she cried and fainted twice, and it was Cui Tao who woke her up both times with acupuncture.Seeing that she was about to faint again, Cui Tao simply inserted two silver needles into her head to protect her from having a stroke due to fright.

When Han Qi saw Li Erniang kneeling in the hall with two silver needles stuck in her head, she couldn't help remembering that Cui Tao had done the same thing before, so she ordered Cui Tao to remove the silver needles.

"It's guaranteed that she won't faint again." Cui Tao explained.

"Remove." Han Qi insisted.

"Yes!" Cui Tao obediently bowed to her superior, and pulled out the two silver needles on top of Li Erniang's head.

Li Erniang would paint her face delicately every day, her eyes were swollen from crying, her face was disfigured from crying, and her hair was messed up when she was escorted.She actually met Han Liulang with such a gesture, and he also knew about her plotting against Han Liulang's little aunt that caused her to die unexpectedly.

The moment Li Erniang tremblingly raised her head to meet Han Qi's eyes, she was so startled that she fainted again.

Sure enough, as she expected, she fainted again.

Cui Tao raised her eyebrows and looked at Han Qi, thinking that it was time for her to get the needle again.

Han Qi's eyes were cold, and his voice was even colder: "Splash."

Wang Zhao immediately prepared a basin of ice water and poured it on Li Erniang's head.

Cui Tao: "..."

OK, that's a good idea too.

Cui Tao silently put away her silver needle.

How could the women in the compound of the deep house stand up to interrogation by the yamen, what's more, now that the evidence is conclusive, they can't bear to confess for a while.

"Jin Buyao was found." Li Cai presented the recovered Jin Buyao.

There are seven emeralds dotted with gold flowers on Jinbuyao. It can be seen that the emerald jade dotted on one of the golden flowers is not the same as the other golden flowers. It is obvious that this one was added later, and the original one followed. Hu Lianzhi was buried under the sand together.

This golden step has been sold by Zhenbao Pavilion, fortunately, it was bought by an old customer, Zhenbao Pavilion knows where it lives, so it is not troublesome to find it.

Han Qi looked at Jin Buyao on the table, clutched the gavel tightly in his hand, and ordered Pozi Tong and Erniang Li to confess.

Naturally, Mrs. Tong didn't dare to hide anything, and honestly explained everything about the company, which was consistent with what Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Sun said.But the idea of ​​scaring Hu Lianzhi with hooligans was not entirely her idea.

At that time, they came across Chen Sanlang and others surrounding the car to frighten people. Because there were servants following them, they were not really frightened.

From this, Li Erniang thought of "heroes save the beauty", thinking that if she was really in danger one day, it would be great if the person she yearned for could save her.Then, she thought of this, if Hu Lianzhi was in trouble and she sacrificed her life to save her, would it be possible to make Hu Lianzhi soft-hearted, like Hu Lianzhi used to be her eldest sister, and she would also work hard for her?Her eldest sister has an average appearance, so it is normal to fail.She is different. Everyone in the family praises her as a fairy.

Because Pozi Tong saw what Li Erniang meant, and because Li Erniang was generous and treated her very well, she naturally wanted to think of her wholeheartedly, so she followed Li Erniang's mind and gave her advice.The two discussed a way, instead of visiting Hu Lianzhi at the Great Buddha Temple, they secretly met Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Sun who were beside Hu Lianzhi, and the four of them became colluded.

When Li Erniang saw that Pozi Tong actually told her little daughter's thoughts in the car at that time, and she still said it in front of Han Qi, she was so frightened that she felt ashamed, her body was about to fall, and she was about to faint.

"If you refuse to confess, it will be regarded as obstructing the trial, and you will be sentenced to twenty sticks."

When Han Qi said this, his eyes didn't even fall on Li Erniang.

When Li Erniang heard that she was going to be beaten, she tried her best not to faint.She put her hands on the ground, choked and cried and apologized: "I didn't intend to kill A Niang. I didn't expect things to turn out like that, and I didn't want to. It was Chen Sanlang and the others who killed A Niang because of money!"

"If you don't want to, why didn't you report to the official?" Han Qi asked coldly.

Li Erniang's crying stopped suddenly, and she faltered and tremblingly explained that she was afraid at the time, but she dared not speak.

"It's more than not daring." Han Qi turned to question Zhou and Mrs. Sun, who has been supporting the lives of the two of them for more than a year.

The two mothers-in-law looked at Li Erniang at the same time, "Erniang paid for us to live in Plum Blossom View, and we didn't have to worry about the other side of the house. We couldn't bear the loneliness and stayed in Plum Blossom View. I really miss the time when we were children. , would secretly go back to read it, and communicated with my husband."

"Woooo..."

Li Erniang crouched on the ground with her neck shrunk, and cried bitterly again.Apparently, her sophistry was stripped to nothing in the blink of an eye.

Not only did she dare not speak, but she also paid others not to speak.In order to protect her own reputation selfishly, she caused the tragic death of Hu Lianzhi to lie under the sand of the kiln, and no one knew about it.

As for why Hu Lianzhi's corpse had not been removed under the sand, the situation was just like what Chen Sanlang said before, they didn't dare to move it, and they didn't bother to move it. The bones are dead, and there is no need to move them.

Li Erniang is only 14 years old this year, Chen Sanlang is [-] years old, the oldest boy who fools around with Chen Sanlang is [-] years old, and the youngest is [-] years old.

This is an 'accidental' murder jointly carried out by girls and teenagers who lost their virtue.

How 'surprised'?If there were not so many acts of losing the bottom line of morality, there would not be such a final result.

After Li Chaole learned of what her second daughter had done, she wept bitterly and begged Han Qi for a lighter sentence.

"She was indeed at fault, but she didn't really have the intention of murdering! She was just confused..."

"If you can't speak human words, just shut up."

Cui Tao saw that Han Qi's face was extremely gloomy, and hearing Li Chaole suddenly say such words, she wished she could kick him away.

"How did Mrs. Hu fall in love with a husband like you? She lost her life because of your daughter's fault. She has nowhere to go, and no one knows about her death. You are lucky. After knowing this situation, you will only feel that your daughter is just a temporary Confused. Your Li family's behavior of killing three people is called 'confused'?"

"What kind of father really will teach what kind of daughter." Ping'er sighed angrily.

"Dragon begets dragon, phoenix begets phoenix, what the ass of the donkey pulls out is disgusting stinky balls!" Wang Siniang spat at Li Chaole after scolding.

Ping'er didn't think Wang Siniang's scolding was disgusting anymore, so she immediately clapped her hands in agreement.

"You'd better think about it first. You drank and ate meat during your filial piety, and you raised such a daughter. Later, I will tell the queen mother the result of this case. What will happen to you?" Cui Tao said.

When Li Chaole heard that Cui Tao would actually tell the story of the case to the queen mother, he hurriedly kowtowed and begged for mercy, admitting that he was wrong, everything was wrong, he was willing to repent, and his daughter could also deny it.

Of course Cui Tao ignored him and let Li Yuan and others drag him away.

Han Qi still sat behind the case and did not leave.

Wang Siniang and Ping'er had never seen Han Tuiguan's face so gloomy and even a bit hostile. They both dared not show their anger, and felt that they couldn't bear the heavy responsibility of persuading angry smart people, so they hurriedly winked at Cui Tao and encouraged her , and then the two retreated.

Seeing this, Wang Zhao wanted to persuade them, but was dragged away by Wang Siniang.

In the courtroom, only Cui Tao and Han Qi were left.

Cui Tao stood there for a while, and after confirming that no one would come, she walked to Han Qi's side and silently grabbed the back of his hand.

Han Qi's hands still didn't move, and his eyes didn't move. He still looked at the stack of confessions on the public case with his eyes half down.After a normal court trial, there would not be so many guilty pleas, but this time there will be more people involved, and only Chen Sanlang has fifteen.

"When I was naughty when I was young, my mother would reprimand me with a ruler. It was my little aunt who pleaded for me."

Han Qi didn't say much, but what he said was enough to show how sad he was for Hu Lianzhi's departure.

Cui Tao grabbed Han Qi's hand tightly.

Only then did Han Qi respond, turning his hands slowly, and holding Cui Tao's hand.

After a while, Cui Tao saw that the hostility on Han Qi's face had dissipated slightly, and said to him: "Let's choose a place of good geomantic omen, so that we can bury my little aunt well. Please ask the most respected Taoist priests to recite scriptures for her. May she be saved in the next life." If you can be born rich and honored, your life will be safe and smooth.”

"Ah."

The next day, many people from the Li family came to Kaifeng Mansion, headed by several elderly people, who wanted to claim Hu Lianzhi's body and bury Hu Lianzhi in the Li family's ancestral grave.

Cui Tao has already been defeated by the brain circuit of the Li family. Could it be that they thought that by doing this, they could still be related to the Han family's relationship, so that Han Qi's subordinates would show mercy to Li Chaole and his daughter?

Cui Tao directly stopped these bad Li family members outside the Kaifeng mansion, and did not give them a chance to see Han Qi, so as not to make Han Qi even more angry.

The Li family admitted that Li Erniang had indeed committed a big mistake, but they had to collect Hu's body no matter what. After all, she was the daughter-in-law of the Li family, so they couldn't always be placed in the mortuary of the yamen.They also stated that they could order Li Chaole to sever the father-daughter relationship with Li Erniang.

"Ms. Hu married into the door of the Li family, and she is a member of the Li family. Now that she is gone, we want to keep quiet and bury Mrs. Hu. The Li family is sorry for her, and now we must treat her kindly. After all, she is related to Mr. Li. If there is a marriage certificate in between, if we don't come to collect the corpse, it will be inappropriate both emotionally and rationally."

"Then you'd better let Li Chaole sign the contract obediently, so that Mrs. Hu has nothing to do with your Li family from now on."

Cui Tao took the prepared contract and handed it to the Li family.

"How does this work?"

"It's not appropriate."

……

"It doesn't matter if you don't want to sign. You just have to go home and count how many promising people there will be in your Li family. There will be a long time in the future, so you have to hold on."

Cui Tao sneered gracefully, but her eyes were full of threats, enough to kill.

The Li family was frightened by Cui Tao's attitude, but from the surface of his words, they couldn't find any faults, so they could only leave in embarrassment and go home to discuss.

"One day, don't wait when it's over." Cui Tao warned, turned around and left.

Half a day later, the Li family sent a deed signed by Li Chaole.

Cui Tao took the compass and set a location with excellent Fengshui outside Bianjing, buried Hu Lianzhi, and asked the most respected and respected Taoist priest Wuyou in the area to save Hu Lianzhi.

Speaking of which, Taoist Wuyou was not very easy to invite. When Cui Tao went to invite him, he happened to meet Zhao Zongqing.Taoist Wuyou wanted to reject Cui Tao, but because Zhao Zongqing opened his mouth, he agreed to come.

After Taoist Wuyou came to this cemetery, he found that the surrounding geomantic omen was very good. Hearing that this place was chosen by Cui Tao, he took a look at Cui Taogao.

After finishing the practice, Taoist Master Wuyou said goodbye to Cui Tao and Han Qi, and before leaving, he specially said to Cui Tao that if you want to study Fengshui Taoism in the future, you can go to the temple to find him.

After Han Qi paid homage to Hu Lianzhi in front of the grave, he stretched out his hand to touch the words on the tombstone.

After Cui Tao sent off Taoist priest Wuyou, she came over.

"My characters?" Han Qi asked.

Cui Tao promised: "I engraved the words written by Liu Lang yesterday with my own hands."

"Can you still carve tombstones?" Han Qi's questioning tone was not serious.

Cui Tao responded.

Han Qi raised the corners of his mouth, lowered his eyes and continued to burn paper for Hu Lianzhi.

"Little aunt can see that, Zhigui likes women like this, and you really can't see them."

Cui Tao: "..."

After returning to Bianjing, Cui Tao followed Han Qi back home and made tofu soup for him.

Tofu soup is the most indispensable dish in the funeral banquet.According to legend, in the Warring States period, Leyi, the king of Chang, invented tofu in order to be filial to his parents, which was eaten by his parents every day, and his parents lived a long life.After Le Yi's parents passed away, Le Yi invited all those attending the funeral to eat tofu, wishing everyone a long life, and it is said that the custom of eating tofu soup at funeral banquets began.

The tofu soup made by Cui Tao is very plain. The water is boiled, tofu is added, shredded cabbage and fungus are added to it, and seasoned with light salt.

For ordinary people, this dish may lack oil and water, and it is not as fragrant as meat dishes.But it is very suitable for people who are attending funerals. In the clear and light soup, the fresh and tender tofu hardly needs to be chewed, and the entrance can slide into the abdomen. For those who cannot eat because of sadness, it is the only one that can be swallowed. s things.This tofu soup is not tasteless at all, the faint bean fragrance lingers between the lips and teeth, but it has a little aftertaste.With something in the belly, the living will not feel so bitter.

In the evening, when Han Qi sent Cui Tao away, Cui Tao gently advised him to go to bed early.

Han Qi finally couldn't control himself, and suddenly hugged Cui Tao.

Zhang Chang followed behind the two of them, apparently not expecting such an impulsive move by his husband, he was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly bowed his head and silently hid away.

Cui Tao patted Han Qi on the back to comfort him.

"How could I be so lucky to meet you."

"That's thanks to Han Tuiguan's mercy at the time, and the love came."

Cui Tao's words made Han Qi laugh.

"Okay, just go back and sleep and you'll feel better." Cui Tao tiptoed and reached out to pat Han Qi's forehead to show comfort.

Han Qi agreed and ordered Zhang Chang to drive Cui Tao back.

Cui Tao is wearing a blue men's outfit today, with a green hair tie, which is also for the convenience of movement.Speaking of which, Han Qi ordered Zhang Chang to give this dress to her.

Cui Tao got out of the carriage, said goodbye to Zhang Chang, and entered the back door of Kaifeng Mansion. When she turned her head and closed the door, she heard a voice behind her.

"Miss Cui is back!" The woman's voice was crisp.

Cui Tao frowned, looked back to where the sound came from, and saw a woman wearing exactly the same clothes as her, with the same green hair tied on her head, tilting her head and smiling at her.
