Chapter 107 Neighbors?
Dou Yin and Song Yan had always had a division of labor. Song Yan would sit in charge of Han Mo in Shuntian Mansion on weekdays, while he would stay in the Duke's Mansion most of the time to guard Anqing Hall in order to handle errands assigned by Han Mo at any time.
After receiving the message from the guard, he immediately rode into the official department. After following Han Mo for so many years, he had become more or less familiar in front of others, and everyone greeted him as "Mr. Dou". After entering the door, he directly
I found Shi Zhuo, the Minister of Civil Affairs, and explained my purpose of coming. In order to facilitate the investigation of the case, I asked him to open a back door and go directly to the archives to transfer the files.
Since he was selected, there was no obstacle for Shi Zhuo. His brother-in-law was the young Zhan Shi of Zhan Shifu, and around the corner he belonged to the East Palace faction, all of whom were members of his own family. In less than a moment, a young Guan Zheng came to lead the group.
I followed Dou Yin to the archives. Without any effort, I got all the official archives of Jinling Prefecture in the past five years in just one cup of tea.
Zhou Chengli's name appeared on the fifth page of the second volume. Dou Yin read it line by line, paused for three breaths at his biography, and suddenly raised his head: "This Lord Zhou is a Jinshi. I know that when Jinshi performs his duties in the court, he is an official.
The ministry also has a detailed resume file, can you please bring it to the next review?"
…
The little King of Hell is born with evil spirits. How much resistance can eight-year-old Aji have in front of him?
At that moment, she counted a bunch of names with her fingers. Sure enough, they were all ordinary people. While listening, Su Nu tried hard to catch something unusual from them, but she couldn't. But before she spoke, Yang You didn't know where to pick it up.
When the pen and ink came, she just remembered one by one and wrote down everything without making any mistake. This really impressed Su Nuo. This little King of Hell was actually very organized and well-organized.
Han Mo read the list and handed it to Yang You: "Send everyone to Shuntian Mansion to await trial. Including Wednesday's parents." Wednesday's family had been here yesterday, but they were not allowed to come in soon.
.In the past two days, they sat in front of the Shuntian Mansion and cried, not even caring about their grandchildren.
After Han Mo finished speaking, he suddenly looked at the neighbors on his left and right, and then looked deeply at the couple standing not far away. Then he called Yang You to stop and said, "There is no need to tell others, first call the couple on the left and right."
Everyone, everyone is summoned to come here."
When Su Nu heard this, he immediately looked towards the couple and saw the woman standing with her hands folded suddenly clenching her hands...
When he entered this alley yesterday, Su Nu had already looked around. This was an alley full of people. The Zhou family was located in the middle of the alley. Now the children next door were crying, chickens and ducks were croaking, and the old woman was spitting.
It was all clearly audible, and the woman ran out of the door the night the incident occurred. Even if the murderer moved quickly, she at least screamed. Why didn't the neighbors find out about it until the next morning through the child's cry?
Su Nu watched the couple more intently. At this time, Han Mo had already walked in front of them. The two of them were looking at the ground. The woman's hands were clenched tighter, so tight that her fingertips turned slightly white.
Su Nu also walked up to them and said, "Which family are you from?"
Yang You said: "It's the family next door, on the left side of the Zhou family! They found the child crying and reported it to the officials!"
The couple began to tremble, and the man looked up more frequently. Over there, the woman plopped down and knelt down!
"Sir, please spare your life! We did not kill the person, and it has nothing to do with us!"
"You didn't kill him, why are you panicking?" Han Mo held up the sword at his waist.
Sweat started to fall from the woman's forehead. She kowtowed a few times and then said: "The official knows this! If a civilian woman lies, she will be struck by lightning from heaven. The truth has nothing to do with us! Although the civilian woman and the Zhou family's wife occasionally have quarrels,
But I have no intention of harming anyone, and I have never thought of revenge. The official must make a clear decision!"
The woman was sobbing and tears were falling from the corners of her eyes.
Su Nu looked at her for a while, then suddenly grabbed her hand and turned the downward side of her wrist up - there was a scratch on the rough skin of her wrist!
"This wound has not even scabbed over yet. It was scraped while climbing over the wall last night, right?"
"No!" The woman shook her head desperately, "I didn't climb over the wall! I didn't see the murderer! I didn't see anything!"
She shook her head so fast that it almost made people wonder if she would break her neck.
Obviously, Han Mo and Su Nu present would not believe her words.
After waiting for her to be excited for a while and finally stopping, Han Mo said: "You are not the murderer, but you saw the murderer, right?"
The woman burst into tears, and the man also knelt down: "Master, please spare my life!"
She shook her head so fast that it almost made people wonder if she would break her neck.
Obviously, Han Mo and Su Nu present would not believe her words.
After waiting for her to be excited for a while and finally stopping, Han Mo said: "You are not the murderer, but you saw the murderer, right?"
