Gu Mingzhu heard Hou Yong's shouting and put down the salt pot in her hand.

Hou Yong was even more useless than she thought. He had just put a piece of meat in the pot and had not even put salt on it. Hou Yong was about to admit it.

Liu Su went to see the situation: "It's better for the lady to do it."

"It seems that the right person is used." Gu Mingzhu heard Peng Liang tell the whole story and concluded that Hou Yong and Qian Yunsheng were both corrupt, one was tortured, and the other scared him out of his courage. These two people would rush to say everything they knew.

"Dongdongdongdongdong" vaguely heard a sound.

"Miss, that's..."

Gu Mingzhu nodded: "The drum of Dengwen was ringing." Lord Wei invited the old magistrate from Shuntian Mansion to come. The old magistrate happened to take someone to examine the two people.

Liu Su is going to check the situation ahead.

"Be careful," Gu Mingzhu ordered, "This is the first case we have participated in in Beijing. You don't have to worry when Lord Wei is there. When Lord Wei is away, you have to do your best and not exceed the rules."

Liu Su said, "Don't worry, Miss." Lord Wei took them to meet the people from Shuntian Prefecture and the Ministry of Justice, and the old judge Xue was one of them.

"The Ministry of Justice will come soon," Gu Mingzhu said, "let everyone in the market avoid it."

Wei Yuanchen personally escorted the lieutenant of the Xicheng Military Police and others to the Ministry of Justice. It can be seen that the Ministry of Justice is deep and as soon as they arrived in the capital, Lord Wei took Liu Su to the Ministry of Justice to recognize people because they were afraid that they would have trouble with others.

Five years ago, Lord Wei was detained in the Ministry of Justice prison. The prison officials ignored his injuries. It can be seen that there must be someone in the Ministry of Justice against the Wei family. Although five years have passed, the situation of the Wei family seems to have improved, but in fact it is still very difficult. If you are not careful, you will be framed. They must be more careful.

In addition, Yan Tanhua told her that the Ministry of Justice also had an extremely powerful poisonous snake, and told her that if she could survive, she would avoid Qiao Song when she saw him. It was Qiao Song who arrested Yan Tanhua. When she was sending medicine in the Ministry of Justice, Qiao Song happened to be sent to the Qing Lishu Department of Fujian. Otherwise, with Qiao Song's means, she would probably not have lived for so many days.

Now Qiao Song is the left minister of the Ministry of Justice. Her father revealed the war horse case. She is afraid that Qiao Song will come. Fortunately, the emperor intends to suppress the Eastern Palace with the Wei family and ordered Wei Yuanchen to go to Taiyuan Prefecture.

But people you should meet will always meet.

She was not afraid of Qiao Song, but she would not be arrogant and negligent. If she wanted to act under Qiao Song's nose, she would have to be more cautious and smarter than him.

Gu Mingzhu was thinking, and a familiar voice came from outside: "Master, I will help you with water."

"If you dress up like this, no one will know you?" an old voice said, "Look at what you look like? You are still the magistrate of Taiyuan Prefecture."

After saying this, he said disgusted and said, "You go there and interrogate the prisoner, how can you be present?"

Then Feng Anping heard a low voice saying, "Master just thinks I am serving on the side."

"Bad," said Xue Lao Tong, "I'm not angry about you here. You didn't notice such a big case in Taiyuan Prefecture before. Don't say it's my student when you go out in the future... Don't be upset here...

How lucky are you to leave? If the case is not found out, you, the magistrate, are waiting to go to prison. You are so embarrassed to say anything in front of me."

Gu Mingzhu couldn't help but smile, and then she saw Cousin Feng walking over with an awkward expression.

This is the duty room for prisoners to rest. Officials who come to work on weekdays cannot face prisoners directly, and will stop here and wait.

Feng Anping was wearing the prison guard's clothes and a layer of dust was covered with dust on his face, obviously trying to cover his face, but it was too deliberate and could be seen through at a glance. No wonder Mr. Xue was angry.

When he found a woman in the duty room, he was like meeting a big tiger with her eyes in the mountains. Feng Anping jumped back suddenly, but he immediately thought of the junior sister Jiang whom Nie Chen mentioned. Junior sister Jiang should be very gentle and would not rush to others at any time.

Gu Mingzhu brought a cup of tea to Feng Anping: "Mr. Feng... Please... have tea."

Feng Anping walked back and pretended to be nothing, pointing to his face: "You... can you recognize me?"

Gu Mingzhu gave a tribute and didn't say much, although even if she picked Mili and Cousin Shaluo Feng, she would definitely not see through her identity.

When the room was quiet, Feng Anping boldly raised his head and looked at Miss Jiang. This Miss Jiang looked very good, kind and gentle. No wonder Nie Chen mentioned Miss Jiang many times on his way back to Beijing this time, and every time he finished speaking, Miss Jiang would stare at his face, making him think he knew this Miss Jiang.

Thinking about it now, it is probably because Nie Chen wants him to praise Miss Jiang for a few more words. Nie Chen must have thought about Miss Jiang and thought others could not see it. He is such a fool.

Feng Anping decided to help Nie Chen and said a few nice things in front of Miss Jiang.

"Miss Jiang, are you Nie Chen's junior sister?"

Gu Mingzhu nodded and answered Cousin Feng in her heart, in addition to this, it is your cousin.

Feng Anping continued: "Nie Chen looks stupid on weekdays, but he is actually pretty good."

Gu Mingzhu deeply agrees with this, but cousin Feng and Nie Chen are comparable.

"Nothing else," said Feng Anping. "Nie Chen can attract many people everywhere he goes. I heard from Lu Guang that Nie Chen has at least seven or eight younger brothers around him. These people in the market are so good that they can wear pairs of pants, they are cheerful and eat quickly." In the blink of an eye, all the food on the table was gone.

Feng Anping got angry when he thought of this. He wanted to eat some for Chujiu, but the plate was empty when he lowered his head and raised his eyes.

Wherever those people go, the wind blows the clouds. Who has such a few sons to eat up the granary?

Feng Anping touched his shriveled belly. The reason why he lost weight was because he had been mingling with these people all the way. He was okay to eat the imperial court on the way. He was afraid that Nie Chen would bring those people to eat him in the future.

"Miss Jiang, you know, Nie Chen has great skills. Everyone in the market has great future," Feng Anping said earnestly, "As long as you follow Lord Wei, you will have land and houses in the future. The most important thing is that Wei's family has great business and great things, and are not afraid of eating..."

Feng Anping covered his mouth and told the truth accidentally. He wanted to find a job for someone in the market. He was a cautious person and didn't like to talk much on weekdays. In order to avoid losing his words, Feng Anping stood up and said, "Miss Jiang, I'm going to handle the case outside." The master's anger has subsided now, and he is probably waiting for him.

Feng Anping left in a flash, and Gu Mingzhu couldn't help but blink. Is Cousin Feng talking for Nie Chen or complaining? Why is it like a child who was robbed of food?

Thinking of this, Gu Mingzhu touched the purse on her waist. She was actually a child who was snatched from food by Wong Tai Sin.

Liu Su walked back to the duty room and nodded to Gu Mingzhu. The two merchants rushed to confess and would definitely tell everything they knew.

Gu Mingzhu said, "Let's leave here!" Since Lao Tong of Xue took over, their work was over. It was getting late, so leave early to avoid any trouble.

After the two of them finished speaking, they were about to leave the prison, and only the sound of footsteps came from outside.

Immediately afterwards, someone said: "Why are you here, Lord Qiao?"

Gu Mingzhu's heart sank, would she meet Qiao Song here?

"There is a case in the Ministry of Justice. I came out of my house and passed by Shuntian Mansion halfway. I heard someone beating the drum. I heard that the man who beat the drum was the prince consort, so I came to ask."

The voice sounded very young, not Qiao Song.

"Where is the prisoner?"

"Mr. Xue is under trial."

"I'll go and see..." The footsteps walked forward, but after just two steps, they stopped again, "Is there anyone in the payroll room?"

The jailer said: "Sir Hui, they are some related people. Once the documents are completed, they will leave."

The people outside heard the reply but did not move.

Gu Mingzhu felt that this Lord Qiao was not here to see the prisoner, but came to inquire about the news. Of course, these people who did their services for Lord Wei were also within the scope of his investigation.

"The prefect prefect sent the prisoner to the court."

The yamen's report broke the tranquility.

The old judge Xue from the prison hurriedly walked to Lord Qiao: "Is Chief Qiao going to the court to hear the trial? Then why not go together?"

Lao Tongzong Xue said and asked Director Qiao to the outside world.

Gu Mingzhu took the opportunity to lift the curtain and look out. It was indeed not Qiao Song. Qiao Song was over fifty years old, and this Lord Qiao was only 20 or 30 years old.

"Sir Qiao is here together?"

"My uncle went to the Ministry of Justice."

Listening to the sound of the two of them talking, Gu Mingzhu guessed that this little Qiao was Qiao Song's nephew, and she was indeed here to check in the prison on Qiao Song's order.

As she spoke, the Lord Qiao looked at the duty room again. Gu Mingzhu did not move. The lights in the duty room were dim. She was standing in the shadows wearing a mili on her head. Lord Qiao must not be able to see her.

After a moment, Lord Xiao Qiao moved his eyes away and followed Lao Tong of Xue quickly out of prison.

Gu Mingzhu lifted the curtain and walked out. After walking out of the prison, she walked quickly and hid under an elm tree. Sure enough, she saw a sedan slowly moving away.

Qiao Song is sitting in the sedan chair.

No matter how powerful Qiao Song is in this case, he will lose the opportunity.

After the sedan chair left, Gu Mingzhu took Liu Su forward. If she took off the milien now, she would definitely see her peaceful face.

...

On the lobby of Shuntian Mansion.

Master Cheng watched the two men be brought up by the yamen.

"Father, can you recognize these two people?"

Master Cheng couldn't help but subconsciously shook his head, who are these two people? He has never seen them before.

"It was the two of them who harmed my mother."

Master Cheng opened his eyes wide. Didn’t Yuan tell him, are those two people dead? Why will the dead be resurrected? If these two people are alive, wouldn’t all the lies he said before be exposed?
