Mrs. Sun Er looked at Huang Qinghe. She thought that Huang Qinghe would immediately apologize to her after he arrived. She could put all her resentment on this little official and make him humble and beg for mercy. Even so, his
There is no longer any hope for an official career.
So when she saw Huang Qinghe, she summoned up her energy to scold him. Unexpectedly, Huang Qinghe came to question her. This was really unexpected.
Mrs. Sun Er frowned: "Master Huang didn't go to interrogate the murderer, but you came to ask me these questions. No wonder you can't find out these cases. If this continues, I'm afraid Master Huang will have to move to avoid causing trouble to the people."
Mrs. Sun Er raised her head and looked condescending. Without waiting for Huang Qinghe to speak, she ordered the steward beside her: "Go and see if the rain stops, we will go home."
Before the steward could go out, he was blocked by the cadre.
Huang Qinghe said: "Now that the murderer has been caught, he can be interrogated at any time, but there are many things that if we don't understand now, it may not be easy to pursue them in the future."
Mrs. Sun Er frowned: "In that case, Mr. Huang should investigate carefully. If we return without success this time, I'm afraid Mr. Huang will not be able to explain to the peak."
Huang Qinghe looked at the scribe beside him: "I want to ask everyone in the Taoist temple about matters related to the case and record it. You are here and remember clearly what we just said."
The clerk responded and immediately asked someone to do it. Then he also set up a desk next to it and started writing.
Mrs. Sun Er felt more and more strange. She glanced at Huang Qinghe and asked, "Master Huang, what do you mean?"
Huang Qinghe said: "Ask a question."
Mrs. Sun Er didn't expect that this junior official would dare to talk to her like this, and she was about to get angry.
Huang Qinghe said: "Who welcomed Mrs. Sun Er and others into the Taoist temple?"
A young Taoist priest immediately stepped forward: "Sir, this is Lingyang."
Huang Qinghe looked at Lingyang: "What Mrs. Sun Er said after she came to the Taoist temple, please tell me exactly."
Lingyang responded and made it clear that Mrs. Sun Er went into the Taoist temple to offer incense to Sanqing, and then asked to offer lamps in front of Empress Xuannv.
Many people still don’t know what Huang Qinghe meant by asking this question.
Huang Qinghe looked at Mrs. Sun Er: "Why did the Second Mrs. Sun offer lamps in front of Empress Xuannv?"
Mrs. Sun Er was quite impatient: "I have told you sir several times that I am here to ask for the blessing of Empress Xuannv so that the Yamen can catch the murderer as soon as possible. If Master Huang had not gone to catch the murderer today, I would not have come to offer lamps.
"
Huang Qinghe said: "So the second wife is here just for Empress Xuannu?"
Mrs. Sun Er snorted coldly. Could it be that Mr. Huang is a fool? She has said it several times, but Huang didn't seem to understand: "Of course I'm here for the Empress Xuannv."
Huang Qinghe said: "How did the Second Madam know that there is Empress Xuannv in this Taoist temple?"
Mrs. Sun Er said: "Let people inquire and find out."
Huang Qinghe said: "When did I ask about it?"
Mrs. Sun Er said in a cold voice: "I have known this for a long time. Do you still need me to tell you in advance? I had known that the Xuannv Empress here was very effective, so I came here."
Hearing this, the Taoist priests, including the temple owner, all looked surprised.
Huang Qinghe waited for a while, and an official immediately came forward: "Sir, the people brought by the Zhang family have asked, but Mrs. Sun Er didn't ask them to find out whether the White Cloud Temple enshrines Empress Xuannv before."
Huang Qinghe looked at the viewer.
The temple owner immediately said: "This Xuannv Hall is unique. We haven't finished repairing it yet, and few good people know about it."
Mrs. Sun Er's expression suddenly changed when she heard this. She raised her eyes and met Huang Qinghe's eyes.
Huang Qinghe's eyes were calm, with a bit of majesty: "Second Madam, I told you to stay at home today, why do you have to come to Baiyun Temple? This Taoist temple is not known to many people, but you don't
Ask the people in the Taoist temple and go directly to worship Empress Xuannv. Who told you that there is a hall of Empress Xuannv in the Taoist temple? I will immediately send her for questioning."
Mrs. Sun Er's face immediately turned red and she became uncomfortable: "I...I forgot...Maybe I heard one of the servants mention it."
Huang Qinghe said: "I will immediately send people to Zhangjiazhuangzi to question the servants. As long as what Mrs. Sun Er tells the truth, everything must be traceable."
"It's unreasonable," Mrs. Sun Er stood up and said, "You actually set up a private court...I am the one who suffered, but you grabbed a small matter and asked questions aggressively. You are doing things poorly and are afraid of being punished by the court, and you deliberately put the blame on me.
.”
After Mrs. Sun Er finished speaking, she walked outside.
However, the cadre blocked the door.
The heavy rain outside stopped at some point, and the sky began to light up.
Huang Qinghe said: "I just said that we are trapped here, but the case is urgent and we are not willing to delay. I have no choice but to ask the second wife here. Since the second wife is the victim, it is reasonable for me to ask the victim.
"
Mrs. Sun Er sneered: "You see, this is the ability of an official. Do you think I am easy to bully?"
Huang Qinghe shook his head: "Mrs. Sun Er is not easy to bully. Everyone knows that the Sun family is a wealthy family, and Mr. Sun Er holds an official position, so he should not be underestimated. However, the law is greater than God, and this is true for everyone, not to mention that this case involves several articles.
Human life, as long as there is any clue, I will investigate it to the end."
After Huang Qinghe finished speaking, another official came forward to report: "The footprints left where Xuancheng was killed are the same as the shoes worn by the murderer. The autopsy showed that Xuancheng had been dead for at least three hours."
"Three hours," Huang Qinghe looked at Mrs. Sun's second wife, "it seems that Xuancheng was killed early in the morning. Mrs. Sun's second wife hadn't come to the Taoist temple at that time, right?"
Mrs. Sun Er couldn't help but take a step back: "What's going on?"
Huang Qinghe said: "The murderer doesn't know where Mrs. Sun Er is going to offer incense, so he will definitely follow her all the way. Even if Mrs. Sun Er goes to the Taoist temple to ambush earlier, it won't be too early." At this point, he stared at Mrs. Sun Er, "
I would like to ask again, does the second wife know the murderer?"
Mrs. Sun Er shook her head: "Of course I don't know him."
Huang Qinghe said: "Think carefully, Mrs. Sun Er, maybe this is the key to solving the case."
Mrs. Sun Er still didn't speak, and Sun Runan couldn't help but worry: "Mother, think about it, who told you about Baiyun Temple in advance and encouraged you to come... That person may have colluded with the murderer and is waiting here.
If I kill you and catch that man, I can avenge my father."
Hearing Sun Runan's words, Mrs. Sun's second wife looked irritated: "You also come and ask me how I could figure it out."
"I still don't understand something."
An indifferent voice suddenly sounded.
Everyone looked over and saw Song Chengxuan's eyes falling on Sun Runan: "Does the murderer have a chance to kill Mrs. Sun Er?"
Sun Runan nodded: "The murderer threatened me with my mother's life."
Song Chengxuan said: "What are you blackmailing?"
Sun Runan was speechless for a moment and couldn't answer. He relived the situation in the main hall just now. The murderer did not kill his mother, but took her back to the door. Then her mother escaped, and the murderer came with a dagger...
Song Chengxuan continued: "The murderer did not hesitate to kill Xuancheng in order to carry out the murder smoothly. If the person he wanted to kill was Mrs. Sun Er, why didn't he take action immediately to give Mrs. Sun Er a chance to escape. When we finally came, the murderer still
If he refused to give up, what did he do at that time?"
Sun Runan naturally remembers it clearly, because...
"The murderer came to strangle me...the person he wanted to kill was me."
Sun Runan turned to look at Mrs. Sun Er blankly: "Mother, the person that person wants to kill is me, not you..."
Mrs. Sun Er's face froze.
Sun Runan seemed to realize something. He finally understood that everything might not be about Queen Wei's descendants seeking revenge, but about that incident: "It's him..."
Sun Runan looked at Mrs. Sun Er: "It's him, right?"
This time Mrs. Sun Er's whole body trembled, and her panicked expression flashed away.
