Chapter 300

In the main hall where the guesthouse was hosting guests, the maid made the best tea as ordered and brought it over. Finally, she retreated respectfully to the door and waited quietly.

Because the person who asked for confession was Zhou Shuyao, Zhang Minhua didn't care about the rules and ethics anymore and sat upright in the main seat on the right, with the maid and the woman standing quietly behind her.

As for Zhou Shuyao, she was sitting on the first chair in the lower right. Even though she was holding the hand stove and wrapped in a fox fur, her face was still pale and there was no blood. In just half a day and a night, the originally gorgeous and proud eldest daughter of the Zhou family was now

It shows pathological weakness.

"Mr. Zhu, I'm not welcome." Before the people arrived, the polite voice of greetings had already sounded outside the door.

County Magistrate Zhu, who was on the first chair on the left, stood up and his round body in an official robe hurriedly greeted the door, "The official is frightened and disturbing Lord Zhang. It is really his duty. Please forgive me.

”

Zhan Feiyu and Yang Xu also stood up. In terms of their identities, Zhang Minxian was a fifth-rank official in the court. In terms of generation and age, he was Yang Xu's uncle, and Zhan Feiyu also had to call him Shishu.

After some politeness, everyone sat down again.

Zhang Minxian sat upright in the main seat and looked at Zhan Feiyu and Yang Xu below calmly. If the Yang family were willing to pull the Zhang family, how could so many troubles happen?

County Magistrate Zhu secretly glanced at Zhan Feiyu, and saw that she was holding the hand stove and seemed to be just a bystander. County Magistrate Zhu could only bite his teeth. Who told him to be the parents of Xiangwu County? "Miss Zhou, before this official

I'm here to ask about the murder that happened in Fu's backyard last night..."

He Nuan took advantage of the gap in pouring water and made a gesture to Zhan Feiyu.

Someone behind the main hall was listening? Zhan Feiyu looked in the direction of He Nuan's gesture. The other party and Zhang Tongzhi came almost at the same time. It was probably Feng Pingqing, Zhang Tongzhi's classmate, friend and staff mentioned in Asheng's previous investigation.

Over the years, Zhang Tongzhi has made many suggestions.

"I don't remember, I only remember that after the maid was waiting for us to wash, Sister Fu and I sat together and talked, and then I felt a little pain in my head, I was not aware of it, and I saw that I had a phantom. I thought I was going to Meigu during the day.

After that, I didn’t know anything.”

I repeated it with Zhang Minhua several times before, so although Zhou Shuyao looked pale at this time, she still told the story about the Fu family in detail, "When I was awakened by the screams of the servants, I lay on the ground.

My whole body was frozen, but the two maids helped me up. I had a split headache. I heard the maid's words and realized that something had happened to Sister Fu..."

Speaking of this, Zhou Shuyao's emotions suddenly collapsed, tears rolled down, and she burst into tears in shock and fear.

"My poor daughter." Zhang Minhua also turned red in her eyes and hurried over and hugged Zhou Shuyao, who was trembling and spoke apologetically to County Magistrate Zhu: "My lord Zhu, please forgive me, Shuyao probably was robbed by someone.

After the medicine was taken, Dr. Qian came to treat her after she returned home. Unfortunately, this medicine is probably a rare secret medicine, and Dr. Qian did not find it out."

He put his back in one hand and stroked her head comfortably with the other hand. Zhang Minhua's worries and heartache turned into anger, "

Please also ask Lord Zhu to be aware of his thoughts and find out the murderer who gave Shu Yao the secret medicine. This man not only murdered the girl of the Fu family, but also framed Shu Yao. This vicious and insidious person should be cut into pieces!"

Mrs. Zhou said everything she should say, and County Magistrate Zhu didn't know what to ask. As for Doctor Qian? That was brought by the Zhou family from Linzhou Prefecture. It was the doctor of the Zhou family. That was not what Zhou Fu said, this doctor was

What to say next.

Zhang Minxian put down the teacup and sighed: "Master Zhu laughed. My niece has been kept in the back house. It has nothing to do. This time I was involved in a murder case. I was frightened and the person was drugged again.

I was also infected with the cold, but I was afraid I could not provide clues to Lord Zhu for investigation."

County Magistrate Zhu laughed with his fat face, and could only look at Zhan Feiyu for help. Lord Zhang clearly wanted to protect his niece. Zhou Shuyao didn't remember anything, and she kept crying when she asked again. If this was

For an ordinary prisoner, County Magistrate Zhu threw away the Hong signature and beat him to a twenty-pin first, not afraid that he would not confess.

But the eldest daughter of the Zhou family, Zhang Tongzhi's niece, and County Magistrate Zhu, did not dare to punish him even if he was brave enough to kill him.

"Okay, stop crying. County Magistrate Zhu is here, and your uncle is here, and no one can wrongly accuse you." Zhang Minhua patted Zhou Shuyao's back comfortably, and saw that she finally stopped crying.

Turning around and looking at the magistrate Zhu, "Mr. Zhu, it is logical that I am a woman who can't interfere in the case of the yamen, but as a mother, I still have to say something. Shu Yao and the girl from the Fu family fell in love with Jinlan at first sight. Yesterday

I was worried that the Fu girl would be afraid after falling into the water, so I stayed overnight at the Fu family to accompany the Fu girl, Lord Zhu. There is always a reason for any murder case. My Shuyao has no motive for murder."

Zhang Minhua slowly spoke word by word, "Besides, although the maids and mothers have all left the inner room, they all live in the side room in the backyard. Shu Yao is also a weak woman. If she wants to kill someone, the girl from the Fu family will definitely be

He could shout, but the maids and mothers could not hear the sound, but no one came out. This means that not only Shuyao was drugged, but those maids and mothers were also drugged, so he didn't hear the noise."

"Mrs. Zhou's words are reasonable." County Magistrate Zhu nodded in agreement. Although he was a little stupid, he still had basic ability to judge cases. Even if Zhou Shuyao wanted to kill someone, he would not do it himself.

But the tricky part of this murder case was that at that time, there were only Zhou Shuyao and Fu Langhuan in the inner room. In addition to the breathable windows that were a gap of one inch wide, it can be said that the doors and windows were closed tightly. This is like a secret room where Fu Langhuan was killed.

Yes, Zhou Shuyao, the only two people in the inner room, is most suspected of murder.

Secondly, the coroner also tested the corpse, and Zhou Shuyao and Fu Langhuan had scratches on their bodies. Moreover, Fu Langhuan was strangled to death, and there were obvious fingerprints on her neck. The coroner measured the size and size of the fingerprints in the fingerprints.

It was judged that the woman strangled Fu Langhuan to death, but if the man had a palm, it would be much bigger.

Moreover, Fu Langhuan was holding an east bead earring in her right hand. County Magistrate Zhu secretly glanced at Zhou Shuyao who was choked. There was a clear wound on her left ear. This must have been the earrings she tore off by Fu Langhuan when she strangled Fu Langhuan to death.

Zi, there were scratches on her face and neck, and there were residual blood in the cracks of Fu Langhuan's nails.

Under all kinds of evidence, the magistrate Zhu used his toes to conclude that Zhou Shuyao was the one who strangled Fu Langhuan to death. As for why she killed someone? And why did the maid and the mother of the Fu family stayed asleep at the time of the incident? Zhu County

He felt that his mind was not enough, and he couldn't understand the mystery.

"Mr. Zhang, Miss Zhou was frightened and her memory was not clear. It would be better to let Miss Zhan and Young Master Yang talk in private, and maybe you can remember some important clues." County Magistrate Zhu, who was driven to the duck, smiled with a fat face and a smile after being licked.

Then, I just want Zhan Feiyu to take over this troublesome thing.

Zhang Minxian naturally would not refuse to agree. After all, according to common sense, Zhou Shuyao is indeed the most suspicious. "Okay, I'll just ask Miss Zhan to teach more and more. If the murderer can be found, the little girl of the Fu family can also rest in peace."

A moment later, the maid also lit a charcoal basin in the side hall. Zhan Feiyu and the other two sat down around the round table.

Perhaps Zhan Feiyu's eyes were too clear, Zhou Shuyao's hands clenched under the table, and repeated the hoarse voice, "I didn't kill anyone, I don't remember anything."

After saying that, Zhou Shuyao lowered her head. She was tall, but now she was hunched over and looked thin and pitiful.

Zhan Feiyu asked a few unrelated questions, but if he asked about Mei Gu, Zhou Shuyao would answer them, but once he asked what she said and did at the Fu family last night, Zhou Shuyao didn't remember it.

When the excuse is vague.

"You look down on Fu Langhuan, who is a merchant, why do you stay overnight at the Fu family?" Yang Xu suddenly asked, a child who is only eight years old, but his eyes are extremely sharp, staring at Zhou Shuyao who is stiff like a knife, "Don't say it."

Sisterly love is deep, even County Magistrate Zhu won’t believe such nonsense!”

Previously, I went to Meigu to invite Fu Langhuan. It was just out of face. The highest official position in Xiangwu County was Zhu County Magistrate, who was only a seventh-rank sesame official. The lady of the county magistrate Feng's family, and the girl of the juren's family

Well, Zhou Shuyao, who came from a family of officials, looked down on him.

Moreover, Yang Xu remembered that when she was in Meigu, Fu Langhuan spoke several times. Zhou Shuyao either disdained her or ridiculed her with a arrogant attitude, so she stayed overnight at the Fu family with a unique purpose.

After a while of silence, Zhou Shuyao, who lowered her head, suddenly sneered, "What's the reason? Once Fu Langhuan gets engaged to you, her identity will rise. Naturally, I want to flatter her. Not only me, but when I came back yesterday,

Isn't the same for everyone else?"

One person is a merchant! The Fu family is a merchant, but as long as Fu Langhuan marrys Yang Xu, the entire Fu family can walk sideways in Longyou Road. Unfortunately, she has a bad life and died that night.

Hearing this naked and straightforward answer, Yang Xu's expression froze, feeling a great ridicule. Fu Langhuan was willing to fall into the water for the sake of his plan, and Zhou Shuyao's arrogant official daughter flattered merchants for fame and fortune.

Daughter, is glory and wealth really that important?

At this moment, Yang Xu suddenly remembered Zhang Yiyi, who was still in the county jail. She was his biological mother. She also used deceitful means to plot against her father before she married the general's mansion. After that, something happened to the Yang family, and she was in a fortune for her wealth.

He did not hesitate to commit himself to the border marquis.

Zhou Shuyao was determined to say nothing, and Zhan Feiyu couldn't ask why. County Magistrate Zhu naturally returned in vain. However, even though Zhou Shuyao insisted that she was drugged, she was still the most suspicious.

The county government's constable was still staying outside the other courtyard to guard.

...

The news of Fu Langhuan's murder spread throughout Xiangwu County in just three days, and Zhou Shuyao was also pushed to the forefront. After all, the news revealed from the Fu family's people, even the illiterate people determined that Zhou Shuyao was

The murderer.

As for the news that Zhang Minxian released, no one believed it. The excuse of being drugged was untenable. Everyone who heard this statement thought it was Zhou Shuyao's excuse, and she wanted to use it to get rid of the suspicion of murder.

"Big brother, I'll go with you!" Zhan Feiyu's voice was crisp. After drinking the medicine for three days, the wind and cold finally recovered. His head no longer hurts, and his throat no longer hoarsely. If it weren't for the cold outside,

Zhan Feiyu probably can show his lively side. Unfortunately, it's too cold. He will still be like a bear, and he is clumsy.

"Aren't you afraid?" Yin Wuyan shook the little girl's hand, warm, but when he thought of going for an autopsy this time, "You stay in Qiu Mansion, and I'll tell you when there is a result."

Zhan Feiyu hugged Yin Wuyan's arm like a rattle, and his head was shaking like a rattle. The small braids hanging on both sides also shaking, "I'm not afraid. At worst, I can't look at the body. I'll listen outside the door."

After a while, looking at Zhan Feiyu who was jumping out with Master Qi, He Nuan was not surprised at all. Outsiders said that the commander of the Forbidden Dragon Guard was cold-blooded and ruthless, and murdered people like a numbness. But who would have thought of the lady.

Once he acted spoiled, Qi Ye gave in without principles.
