Chapter 133 Going around and going back again
It was just dawn on the second day, and many people had gathered around the gate of Luoyun City's county government. Among them were villagers from Dajing Village who were eager to watch the trial, and ordinary people who happened to just pass by to join in the fun.

The official residence was only two streets away from the inn they lived in, and the carriage ride was very fast. After a quarter of an hour, the carriage stopped, and Xu Ruqing and Zhiqu got out of the carriage together.

As soon as Xu Ruqing entered the lobby of the yamen, she saw Aunt Wu kneeling there early, and she didn't know how long she had been here.

"Miss Xu, you're here." Seeing Xu Ruqing, Wu Hongmei seemed to have seen life-saving straws, and her eyes that hadn't slept all night burst out with hope.

She thought that Xu Ruqing would not come again.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this Maude is clearly a bully, and he doesn't care what everyone eats for the sake of getting a crown on his head.Judging from his attitude yesterday, Wu Xiulian's matter may not be settled.

Because of this, many people consciously draw a clear line with the Wu family, and they are afraid that they will also be involved in the time.Unless it's because they think they've lived too long, who would be stupid enough to go against the powerful?
"Lord Mo promised to start the trial of Xiulian's murder today, so I will come."

"Thank you, I, Wu Hongmei, will never forget your great kindness." Apart from saying thank you, Wu Hongmei couldn't find the right words to express her gratitude.

"Don't say that, Aunt Wu. The truth of the matter has yet to be verified. Before that, all I can do is try my best to get the first chance."

Wu Hongmei nodded: "I know, no matter what the final result is, Aunt Wu will thank you, Aunt Wu will remember you well for the rest of her life."

"Ah."

It is said that Wu Hongmei has been kneeling here for half an hour, and usually the court hearing can start at Maoshi, but now it is almost Chenshi, and there is no sign of Moder.

Xu Ruqing handed the pre-prepared paper to Wu Hongmei, and then went to the gongs and drums at the door by herself, waving her arms and beating the drums vigorously.

"Boom, boom, boom, boom..."

"My lord, don't go to sleep, everyone outside has already arrived, and I'm waiting for you to go to court!" Master Han said that the emperor is not in a hurry for the eunuchs, what time is it, and Mode can still sleep!

Hearing the more rapid drumming outside the house, Maud reluctantly opened his eyes.Allowing the maids around him to change and wash himself, he finally walked in front of everyone in a blue-purple official uniform embroidered with a picture of cranes and clouds, and a black gauze hat.

"Ahem, well, let's start then."

Master Han straightened his body, and then shouted loudly outside: "The person who announced the drum beat came forward to ask questions!"

"My daughter Xiulian died so tragically, I beg you to make decisions for the women..." Wu Hongmei couldn't help but knelt on the ground as soon as she stepped forward, her mournful wailing was particularly ear-piercing.

Mo De, who was sitting in the chief seat of the trial hall, slapped the gavel after seeing Xu Ruqing and the maid behind him walk in. "Who came down from the hall? Why didn't you kneel when you saw me?"

All eyes were on Xu Ruqing at once. In ancient times, when common people met officials, they had to kneel and salute.

Xu Ruqing curled her lips, but in order to cause unnecessary trouble, she still bowed and knelt down: "The daughter of the people, Xu Ruqing, has met the adults."

Seeing the woman who made him unable to get off the stage yesterday knelt down to him for an irrelevant person, Maud was in a happy mood, and there was a slight mockery in his eyes.

He quickly withdrew the complacency in his eyes, then organized his words, and said: "Since everyone is here, let's start directly. I thought about Wu Xiulian's matter yesterday, and I sent someone to I went to Chen's residence to inquire, and after investigation, this matter has nothing to do with Chen Shixi. So..."

Just as Maud was about to speak, he saw Xu Ruqing's unkind face, meeting her eyes that seemed to see through others, Maud couldn't help but feel frightened, and didn't know what to say for a while.

"so……"

Moder looked sideways at Master Han: "Master Han should speak for me."

Master Han didn't know why, but he still obeyed his orders and said, "That's it. According to the people in Chen's residence, Young Master Chen has not been in the city for nearly a month, but went to study with his teacher. This means that an accident happened in Wu Xiulian At that time, Young Master Chen had an alibi, so it can basically be concluded that Wu Xiulian's death had nothing to do with Young Master Chen."

"And then?" Xu Ruqing's voice was cold.

"Then we have hired the most professional people to investigate the scene of the crime. There are no obvious signs of fighting by the river, but there is an obvious lack of a mud embankment on the bank, as if part of it was trampled off. So we think that Wu Xiulian He died by accident, no doubt."

"If that's the case, how should we explain the sack containing Wu Xiulian's body?" Xu Ruqing couldn't help but find it ridiculous. This question went around and around, and finally went back.

"This……"

Master Han originally thought this was a very sufficient reason, but he didn't expect Xu Ruqing to be so difficult to deal with, so he couldn't let him go.

Before Master Han could think of a way to deal with it, he heard someone objecting outside the door: "Nonsense! Chen Shixi came to my village to buy cloth half a month ago. I came with Mrs. Chen. I saw it with my own eyes!"

Seeing someone coming forward, some people who had met Chen Shixi also said one after another: "Yes, I saw it too. A few days ago, he also came to my shop to get medicine, saying that Master Chen was too busy with business, and as a son, he wanted to help his father." Grab a few packs of calming medicine to nourish the body, the prescription is still in my shop, and it is still stamped with the seal of the Chen family."

"What is Lao Shizi's study tour, there is no evidence of presence, I can see that someone is lying!"

Xu Ruqing looked directly at Mo De in the hall, and asked: "If the outsiders say that the proof of Chen Shixi's alibi is fraudulent, then the daughter of the people dare to ask your lord, what is the truth? Chen Shixi himself is at the moment Where, why didn't you summon him for questioning?"

The more Maude concealed his protection, the more Xu Ruqing felt that Chen Shixi was suspicious, and she would never let it go until she found out.

"Call Chen Shixi!"

"Call Chen Shixi!"

"..."

The voice of the discussion outside was getting louder, and Maude was somewhat panicked.He turned his head and asked Master Han: "What should I do?"

"Don't panic, my lord. They're just a bunch of clowns who can't get on the stage. As your lord, are you afraid that you won't be able to control a few lowdowns?"

Master Han's words made Mode straighten up in an instant, he was right, he is the biggest in the courtroom, he said one thing, does anyone dare to say the other way? !
"Snapped!"

"presumptuous!"

The loud slapping sound and a loud drink made the crowd outside the door instantly quiet down.
