Chu Nanzhi looked at Hu Maoxi with a calm face and smiled strangely:
"Your Excellency, County Magistrate, I heard that Mrs. Yu committed suicide in prison today?"
"yes."
Hu Maoxi replied doubtfully, but after looking at Sun Xiancheng, he suddenly understood. He glared at him fiercely and thought to himself: This old guy can't control his mouth again and is too talkative.
The arrogant little eyes showed no anger or intimidation, which frightened Sun Xian Cheng's face to suddenly tighten, and he cowered and did not dare to raise his head.
Chu Nanzhi collected the tea leaves on the table carelessly, shook his head and smiled, pretending to be careless: "It seems that suicide in prison has become very popular these days. First it was Lieutenant Liu, Taoist Ximen, and then Mr. Yu. This
The distance between them is only half a moon."
"Ahem, these are all accidental events."
Hu Maoxi stiffened his face and laughed awkwardly, pretending to be calm, but his heart was filled with anger.
He could understand why Yu committed suicide, but he really didn't understand who could do anything about Liu Ping and Taoist Ximen right under his nose.
Chu Nanzhi saw the embarrassment on his face and deliberately made the next words more sensational:
"I have seen the wealthy man from the Wei family. Although she is poor, she also has the character of a scholar. I am afraid she is a soft-spoken woman. Previously, he was desperate and willing to bow his head and plead guilty. But the day before yesterday, the county
Your Excellency has personally promised to retry the case, and now it may not be easy to get him to plead guilty again. If he refuses to die, how will you deal with it?"
Her eyes wandered calmly on the stunned officials, and she couldn't help but reveal a silky evil smile:
"Not to mention that many people in the county now know that there is something fishy about this case. The second mother of the Wei family, the little lady Xiaofen next to Shen Yang, even my Chu family, and the entire county government, if we don't conduct a thorough investigation
Even if it is clear, it will be difficult to convince the public, and it will undermine your official authority."
After hearing what she said, Hu Maoxi broke into a cold sweat and sat down on the chair with his whole body limp.
Seeing this, Xiaosi Baolin Ruijia walked up to him and begged pitifully:
"Grandpa, the county magistrate, my mother-in-law said you are the nicest person. Please help sister Wei. She is really pitiful. She only has brother Wei as her only relative. Sister Wei hit me with her head yesterday."
Grandma’s house is closed.”
Hearing Si Bao plead for several criminals, Hu Maoxi bit his lip and pressed his hands on the desk, feeling very embarrassed.
When Erbao Lin Ruixi saw this scene, she walked directly to him and knelt down. With tears in her eyes, she pulled at the hem of his clothes and said coquettishly:
"Grandpa County Magistrate, the eldest brother of the Shen family is so pitiful without his mother. He is bullied by bad people every day. Grandpa County Magistrate also has a baby. If they lose their mother, Grandpa Magistrate certainly doesn't want them to be bullied. Grandpa County Magistrate
Just help the eldest brother of the Shen family."
"Eldest brother of the Shen family?"
Hu Maoxi looked at Erbao inexplicably.
But as soon as he said these words, Xiaofen cried and knelt down:
"I beg the county magistrate to make a decision for my daughter. She was wrongly accused. My husband is really pitiful. He hasn't eaten well for several days since my daughter was sent to jail. He will definitely die if he continues like this."
"Hey, hey, all of you"
Hu Maoxi frowned like a rice dumpling that was not baked out of the oven. He pointed at the people in front of him and became angry and wanted to complain.
"嘤嘤嘤"
The second and fourth treasures were so frightened by his sudden change of expression that they burst into tears. They cried so hard that everyone felt pity for them.
Hu Maoxi had no choice but to comfort the little ones with a warm voice: "Okay, okay, two little darlings, don't cry. Grandpa Hu, ah, Uncle Hu promised to help your mother, help your Wei family sisters and
Brother Shen."
"real?"
Hearing this, the two little guys raised their heads and asked him while wiping away tears.
Hu Maoxi stiffened his face and replied helplessly: "That's still false. Now that Uncle Hu has given his life to you two little devils, how can he lie to you?"
Upon hearing this, the second and fourth treasures immediately stopped crying and laughed happily.
A hint of cunning flashed in Hu Maoxi's eyebrows, and he took the opportunity to demand: "But you two little devils must promise Uncle Hu that you are not allowed to call me grandpa in the future."
"Okay, Grandpa Hu."
After the two little treasures finished answering, they stood up with smiles and gathered around Chu Nanzhi.
Hu Maoxi was so angry that he scratched his head and scratched his head. In the end, he had to compromise, looked at Chu Nanzhi calmly, and asked with a serious face: "Ms. Chu, tell me, how can I help you?"
Chu Nanzhi did not expect that she would have to rely on these two little ones at the critical moment. She smiled gratefully at the second and fourth treasures, then looked at Hu Maoxi and answered bluntly:
"The county magistrate needs to buy as much time as possible for the women tomorrow. I also ask the county magistrate to take all the county officials to Nanhua Temple in the name of searching for evidence and arresting the suspects tomorrow morning."
"this?"
Hu Maoxi frowned and said, "Is the commotion too big?"
At this time, Sun Xiancheng was also a little worried and asked: "Could it be that Madam Chu has identified the suspicious person?"
Chu Nanzhi smiled warmly and said: "Everything has its origin. Since tea comes from Nanhua Temple, the answer must be in the temple."
She firmly believed that no matter how difficult the case was, as long as someone committed the crime, there would be clues left behind, and these poisonous tea leaves would not end up in Shen Yang's courtyard for no reason.
Since all links are flawless, the problem can only lie in the source of tea picking.
And Nanhua Temple is a heavily guarded place. Searching for evidence in such a big way may not necessarily yield what you want. The best and most reliable way is to draw everyone's attention and then search for clues alone.
Although Hu Maoxi had agreed to her request, he still felt a little guilty in his heart.
After all, this woman did not give herself a reliable guarantee.
His cunning eyes seemed to be stained with thick frost. For a moment, he stared at Chu Nanzhi quietly with a frown on his face, and said with worry:
"Ms. Chu, I have staked my life and fortune on you this time. You must not let me down."
Somehow, through the previous cases, he has now developed a subtle trust in this woman.
The tax bank case, the corpse hiding case in Zhao's house, every case that was not a bizarre case was easily discovered under her hands, so just after saying these words, he gradually gained a lot of confidence in his heart.
.
Although Chu Nanzhi wanted to trick him once, she didn't want to harm him. Seeing his sad face, she quickly comforted him and said: "Please don't worry, sir. The civilian woman only needs to figure out one thing now. I will find out this later."
This case can be solved easily."
"Okay, I believe in my own vision."
This time, Hu Maoxi answered decisively.
Seeing how cheerful he was, Chu Nanzhi couldn't help but feel a little moved in her heart.
She and this man have completely different personalities, but it is not easy to maintain a tacit understanding at critical moments.
It seems that my journey through time is not too sad.
After dealing with Hu Maoxi, she looked at Xiaofen beside her with gentle eyes, and solemnly told Hu Maoxi: "This little lady Xiaofen is currently the key witness to reverse the case. I'd like to thank the county magistrate for her good placement."
, Don’t make any mistakes, and ask her and her two brother brothers to go to the humble house tomorrow and accompany them with the women of the people."
Hu Maoxi half-squinted his eyes, glanced at the little maid, and nodded thoughtfully: "Don't worry, no one in this county government dares to embarrass her."
"This will put women at ease."
Chu Nanzhi looked at the few people with warm eyes, but couldn't help but reveal a touch of worry.
The maid Xiaofen left the house today. I'm afraid Han didn't expect to be bumped into by her. After hearing her say so much today, Chu Nanzhi suddenly became worried about the safety of the little maid. She was really afraid that another innocent life would be lost.
Regardless of the outcome of the case and whether Han was involved in the case, she hoped that it was just her worries that were too much.
