"I will make my own decision whether to falsely accuse you or not. You don't need to tell me what to do." Mu Qianyu said coldly.
"Yes...yes..." Wang Changsheng was frightened. As soon as he met Mu Qianyu's eyes, he quickly lowered his head to admit his mistake.
Mu Qianyu then looked at Xiang Ziyou and said, "Do you remember whether he went to your house alone that night, or with others?"
"He brought two people with him, one was his housekeeper, and the other was a masked master whose face could not be seen." Xiang Ziyou answered with his hand in hand.
"Who did it?"
"It was the masked master who took action under Wang Changsheng's order."
Mu Qianyu nodded, then looked at Wang Changsheng and said, "What else do you have to say about Xiang Ziyou's accusation?"
"Sir, I was wronged..."
"It's about an appointment. You need to cooperate with the investigation. Someone comes and is put in jail."
Wang Changsheng now even thinks that prison is not bad, at least he no longer has to face this woman who may play strange tricks at any time. He has never seen a woman with such tough tactics.
"Quit." Mu Qianyu patted the gavel.
After the onlookers left in shock, Mu Qianyu led the two of them back to the back hall.
Xiang Ziyou pulled his sister and knelt down solemnly to Mu Qianyu, and said with an apologetic expression: "The student has caused trouble to the adults."
"It's quite a trouble." Mu Qianyu ordered the yamen servant to bring the palace steward to come for questioning. After sending the yamen servant away, she pinched her brows and said, "Then he is my immediate superior after all. You are brave enough to come here."
.”
"There is nothing the students can do." Xiang Ziyou sighed: "It's the students who can't help you."
"I didn't ask in court, so why did Wang Changsheng imprison you instead of killing you?" Mu Qianyu asked slowly.
"Wang Changsheng is not good at business, so he needs me to give him some advice." Xiang Ziyou said to himself with his bright eyes:
"I don't want to help him, but my sister is in his hands. If the decision goes slightly wrong, he will ask someone to beat her. So I have to do my best to do things for him."
"Brother." Xiang Ziran pulled his sleeves and said apologetically: "It's all me who has caused brother trouble."
"What are you talking about? It's your brother's duty to protect you. If he doesn't protect you well, it's because he is incompetent." Once Xiang Ziyou looked at his sister, his vigilant eyes would show tenderness.
Xiang Ziran began to sob softly again, not sure whether it was because he felt distressed or blamed himself.
"Stop crying." Mu Qianyu stepped forward and pulled the person up, handed him a handkerchief, and said: "Quickly wipe it, it has become a little cat."
"Sir, we have also caused trouble to you... We would not have complained unless we were really desperate..."
"I made a joke and you took it seriously. I am the official of my parents. How could it be wrong for you to come to the Yamen when you encounter difficulties?" Mu Qianyu stretched out his hand to wipe her tears and said: "Don't worry, you have me."
The official is here and I will definitely give you justice."
"Sir, you are such a good person..."
"Okay, it's not safe for you to go out now, how about you stay in the government office?" Mu Qianyu suggested.
Xiang Ziyou immediately knelt down again and said: "Sir, you are the reborn parents of my brother and sister. If we can survive this disaster safely, we will be like cows and horses in the future, and we will be driven by you."
"It's serious, isn't it?" Mu Qianyu raised his hand and said, "The injury is not healed yet, so go to the backyard and take care of it. We will talk about the rest later."
After letting Old Man Li settle down the two brothers and sisters, Mu Qianyu returned to the backyard, and then received the news that the Wang family's housekeeper happened to be out of the house, and seemed to be going to Lin County to discuss a business deal.
"Send someone to watch at the door of Wang's house, and be sure to bring it back to me when you come back." Mu Qianyu ordered.
The officer agreed and left.
She lay on the rocking chair and looked at the ceiling thoughtfully. This incident not only tested her ability to handle the relationship between superiors and subordinates, but also tested her ability to investigate cases.
There is no evidence for the case three years ago, but it is difficult to tell what exactly happened that day.
Of course, she didn't distrust the brother and sister, but she couldn't investigate the case with subjective ideas. She needed absolute objectivity to get closer to the truth.
She never expected that she, a person who doesn't like to use her brain, would encounter a public case.
"Mother." Nannan's voice sounded from far away, and when she finished speaking, she had already run into the room and climbed onto Mu Qianyu's legs.
Mu Qianyu looked at the pendant on his leg, smiled helplessly and said, "Didn't you promise to study hard, why did you run out again?"
"Xiaobao just heard that a beautiful sister came over, so he went to have a look." Nannan stuck out her tongue and said, "I'll read a book when I get back."
"You, you are just following me in your curiosity, you are nothing like your father." Mu Qianyu reached out and tapped her forehead, his voice full of endearment.
Nannan laughed playfully and said, "Xiaobao just likes to be like mother. By the way, mother, that sister looks so pitiful. Can I help her?"
"Then how can you help?" Mu Qianyu asked, rubbing her head.
"I gave all my snacks to sister, and..." Nannan scratched her chin with her little finger, thought for a while and then said in frustration: "Xiaobao forgot to ask sister what she needs."
Seeing her cute look, Mu Qianyu chuckled and asked, "What should we do?"
"Xiaobao, go and ask now, mother, please wait for me..." Nannan said, getting off Mu Qianyu, and ran away like the wind.
Mu Qianyu did not stop her loving act, but thought of the case again in the room. Tomorrow she planned to investigate and find out the whole story.
That night Lu Jian came back and told her that the bandits had performed well that day and slept in the village below.
Mu Qianyu told him to keep an eye on him and rest.
I planned to investigate the case the next day, but before I even got up, there was a knock on the door.
"Bang bang bang!" The voice was urgent.
Mu Qianyu lifted the quilt and said angrily: "Who?"
"Miss, it's not that I'm in a hurry, but there's someone coming from the front. They say they're from Jiangning Prefecture. If you don't go out, they'll break in." Lan'er said hurriedly.
"Give him some courage." Mu Qianyu said and covered his head again, saying: "Ignore him."
What's going on in Jiangning Prefecture, it's unlikely that Governor Li will come in person. As long as he doesn't come in person and has the same rank as her, she won't believe it and dares to confront him head-on.
What are you bragging about?
Sure enough, although the master in front was angry when he heard the noise in the backyard, he really did not dare to break in. Breaking into the government office without permission was an act of rebellion. He still had this common sense.
So it was already half an hour later when he saw Mu Qianyu. At this time, although Mu Qianyu was dressed, he was still confused.
"Master Futai, I am the governor's master. The governor has issued an order not to arrest anyone without evidence." The master came straight to the point. Although he bowed, he said in a strong tone: "Please let him go."
