Hua Jingyao sighed silently.

Four days ago, when she heard Shi Yi talk about Liu's son forcing Mrs. Chen to retreat with her son, she praised Liu for being calm and orderly when things happened. Now that Liu thought about it, at that time, she had already seen the twins. I'm afraid only Liu knew how she was in helping her husband deal with this trouble.

Is it like when I saw those pair of socks many years ago, I was silently disgusted while convinced myself that it was a misunderstanding?

Or is it like Chen Wenchao who despised her origin after being admitted to the juren. While trying every means to cater to the wrongdoing, she also used her own money to maintain her husband's elegant and noble life?

There are both. At this moment, Hua Jingyao knew that she had asked Shi Yi to persuade Liu to come. This move was the right way, but she also tore the last layer of cover in Liu's heart.

Hua Jingyao didn't know if she did it right. She had never married anyone in her past and present life. Her sister married someone in her past life, but she took care of everything about her.

Hua Jingyao could not empathize with Liu, but for this case and for Miss Chen who was built in the kang hole, Hua Jingyao felt that she did nothing wrong.

She looked at Liu, and Liu was also looking at her.

Hua Jingyao nodded to Liu and asked softly: "Have you asked Chen Wenchao about this?"

Liu smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "I asked him that night, but he denied it, so I took out this deed. Of course, this was copied, and it was really in Tongzhou and kept by the head of the Liu family."

As she said that, she raised the covenant book with both hands and took one of hers to Zhao Zhun.

Speaking of this, Liu stared at Chen Wenchao: "The reason I came here is because I don't believe you will be so cruel that you won't even let go of the woman who gave birth to a son for you, so I want to see it with my own eyes."

"Evil woman! Chen unfortunately, he actually married you, the evil woman. He was born a lowly person and was also a lowly person. He was so vicious. I want to settle you and let you go!" Chen Wen was furious. He came prepared. He was at ease when facing several other witnesses just now, but he never expected that it would be Liu who gave him a fatal blow!

"Chen Wenchao, according to this contract, not only do you have no right to divorce your wife, but if your children are young, you will also want your wife to die and leave home." Zhao Zhun slapped the contract on the Eight Immortals table and looked at Chen Wenchao with a smile.

When a wife dies and leaves home, there is this in the law in the previous dynasty. After the wife dies, if the children cannot support the family, the property will be handed over to the wife's clan and the son-in-law will leave the family.

Although the Great Zhou Dynasty did not have any explicit provisions on the law, the son-in-law was often killed when his wife died and his son was young and was shot out of the house. The Liu family was a merchant and was smart in their work, so they wrote this article in the contract.

Chen Wenchao gritted his teeth and did not answer Zhao Zhun's words. Instead, he pointed at Liu's nose and cursed: "Evil woman, you and your poor father had planned it, and had planned it!"

Faced with his accusation, Liu smiled coldly: "If it weren't for this contract, maybe I'd died long before Miss Chen. How could Uncle Wang suddenly fall to death? It was him who found out that you hooked up with Miss Chen, so you killed someone to silence him, right?"

Chen Wenchao was stunned and stared at Liu. In front of him was his wife who had been around for more than ten years, but it seemed that he had seen her for the first time.

But Liu no longer wanted to look at Chen Wenchao again. She turned her head and kowtowed, and then said to Zhao Zhun: "The little woman said everything she wanted. My Liu family deceived the official media and asked the government to punish her impartially."

Zhao Zhun nodded slightly and said to Qin Wei, who was sitting at the bottom of his head, "Send a document to the Tongzhou Yamen to investigate the matter of the Liu family's recruitment in the past."

Zhao Zhun said to Liu again: "This case is handed over to the Tongzhou Yamen to handle another case, and you mother and son will retreat first."

At this time, several landlords who were escorting a man into the gate and watching the fun at the door of the kitchen recognized him at a glance and shouted loudly: "This is Chen Hong, he rented this yard with me."

Seeing Chen Hong, Chen Wenchao's last hope was completely shattered, and he fell to the ground with a thud.

Chen Hong is not called Chen Hong, his name is Chen Xiaofu. He is one of the two servants Chen Wenchao bought when he was in Henan. He has been following Chen Wenchao for many years.

When Chen Xiaofu saw Chen Wenchao, he knew that something must have happened. He had been hiding in a small inn outside the city for the past three days, but he was still caught.

Chen Xiaofu confessed that he had met Mrs. Chen at a temple fair outside Guangji Temple long before Mrs. Chen found Zhelu Lane.

But after years of separation, Mrs. Chen had long gone from the beautiful 28 girl that year to the haggard woman. He was not sure if the person he saw was Mrs. Chen.

After he told Chen Wenchao about this, the next day, Chen Wenchao asked him to rent a separate courtyard nearby.

He thought Chen Wenchao wanted to hide a sweetheart in the golden house, but he didn't expect that just three days ago, Chen Wenchao gave him 100 taels of silver and asked him to leave the capital for a few days to live. He guessed that something might have happened and thought that 100 taels of silver was too little, so he thought that he would come to Chen Wenchao to ask for more in a few days. Therefore, he did not go far away and lived in a small inn outside the city. He originally thought that he would come back to ask the master for money today, but before he even entered the city, he met Liu Dali, who was working in the mansion. Liu Dali was with the people in the yamen, and pointed at him from afar and shouted. Before he could react, two arresters rushed over and arrested him.

After this trial, whether Chen Wenchao confessed or not, the evidence has been conclusive.

As a humble and fair eldest prince, Zhao Zhun would not torture confessions, so he asked Captain Yin to bring Chen Wenchao into the main hall.

After a while, Captain Yin took the confession signed by Chen Wenchao. Zhao Zhun looked at Captain Yin's black face and felt very satisfied.

Shi Ding's loud voice came from outside the gate: "The eldest prince is wise, the eldest prince is wise!"

The people immediately reacted, one after another, saying "The eldest prince is wise".

It was the first time Zhao Zhun encountered such a scene. He didn't know what to do for a moment, so he couldn't help looking at Hua Jingyao standing beside him. Hua Jingyao grinned at him: "Just let Lord Qin say a few words for you, just keep being noble and cold."

Zhao Zhun was furious, yes, it was my cousin who solved the case, Luo Jiong who examined the autopsy, and Captain Yin who arrested the person, and he just tried the case, what was he so excited about?

"Xiao Qin, tell the people for me that the emperor loves the people as his son, and the people of Great Zhou can live and work in peace and contentment. Since I am the prince,

It is also my responsibility to uphold justice and ensure peace in the country." Zhao Zhun said.

Qin Wei cracked his mouth, how did you say this to the people, it was clearly telling the emperor.

At this time, Luo Junzu, who had no chance to come out to make a testimony during the entire trial process, jumped out and said to Hua Jingyao: "Miss Hua, this case is so wonderful, so wonderful."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Zhun was puzzled and asked, "Luo Jiong, you are talking more carefully. What is the wonder of such a cruel case?"

Luo Jun's master was furious and frowning: "Your Highness, please give it a try and look at this case backwards to see if this case can be solved so easily?"

Zhao Zhun frowned and murmured, "Oh, the body is hidden in the kang hole, and the house has been uninhabited for a long time. It is summer now, so there is no need to burn the kang, so even if someone moves in and finds that the kang hole is built up, maybe it won't be rushing to smash it open. Then it is very likely that the corpse inside can be found when the kang is burned in winter."

"Yes, but that's already half a year later. There are only three pieces of corpse here, but no head. Even if the corpse is found, it is impossible to determine who the corpse belongs to. The place where the corpse was found was not the murder scene. After half a year, the axe hidden in the water tank might have been thrown away long ago. Even Brother Li may not be able to smell the smell of blood." said Luo Zhuozhu.

Zhao Zhun nodded: "At that time, we would not connect these two yards. If the yamen wanted to investigate, we would also investigate Manager Hao and the incense making shop that rented the yard, but we would not find Chen Hong's head. Even if Chen Hong was found, he used a fake name and was in a vast sea of ​​people. Wherever he went to find this person. If Chen Hong could not be found, he would not be able to find Chen Wenchao. Even if the body was found, this case would be a case of not knowing the deceased, let alone the murderer's death. There were so many such death cases in Shuntian Mansion."

Hua Jingyao sighed and said, "Not only that, the most pitiful one is Mrs. Chen. She has no relatives in the capital for no reason. Her two sons are too young. She disappeared for no reason. Outsiders will say that she left the child and ran away. She will still bear the infamy in the underworld."

Zhao Zhun and Luo Junzu also remembered Mrs. Chen, and they also sighed.

At this time, several yamen runners pushed Chen Wenchao, who was in shackles, out of the main hall. Chen Wenchao staggered, obviously he had just used the punishment.

Liu came over with the help of her two sons. She looked at Chen Wenchao with a cold look.

Chen Wen sneered at the corner of his mouth: "Jealous woman, if you hadn't taken out the contract and threatened me, how could I kill people? That was the woman who gave birth to children for me. She was you, and I was also you. We turned into evil spirits and wouldn't let you go!"

Liu's face was calm and said word by word: "I will take my two sons back to Tongzhou, ask the clan elders to take charge and record them in the Liu family genealogy. From then on, they will be my sons and have nothing to do with you."

"It was you who forced me, it was you!" Chen Wenchao struggled and rushed towards Liu, but was held down by two yamen runners.

Mrs. Liu looked at her two sons and said, "Let's go."

The two teenagers supported their mother and walked towards the gate.

"Two young men, wait a minute." Hua Jingyao shouted.

The two boys turned around and looked at Hua Jingyao together.

Hua Jingyao asked, "The two children left by Mrs. Chen..."

The young boy looked at his brother. The brother looked at his mother, bit his lip, and said to Hua Jingyao: "We are going to follow our mother back to Tongzhou to return to the countryside, and it will have nothing to do with them in the future."

This was also expected by Hua Jingyao. Liu had a personality that was about to be cut off, so how could she raise the child that Chen Wenchao had with other women? The reason why she asked this was because they were the only relatives of the two children.

"Yes, OK." Hua Jingyao nodded.

When the mother and son left, Luo Rongzhu kept shook his head: "It's so cold, Chen Wenchao's two sons are as ungrateful as him. Miss Hua, if you ask this question, they will break it off when they say it to their father, let alone two younger brothers who have never met. Poor Liu married a ungrateful husband and gave birth to two ungrateful sons."

Hua Jingyao smiled and said, "I think that Liu is a powerful man. She is rich, ruthless, and has a determination to do things. In addition, with the word filial piety, these two sons will only be more filial and obedient than before, and will not be used to her indifferent and righteousness."

Luo Junzhu thought for a while and said, "That's true."

Hua Jingyao looked up at the sky and said to the eldest prince: "Your Highness, it's getting late. Let's go to Guangji Temple. I don't know if the third princess came out of the back mountain."

When Zhao Zhun heard her mention the third princess, he remembered that he had said he would go to Guangji Temple together and said to Luo Junzu and Captain Yin: "I will leave the rest to you."

When everyone walked far away from the Incense Huo Hutong, they could still hear the loud voice of the people, "The eldest prince is benevolent and righteous, the eldest prince is wise, and the eldest prince is thousands of years old and thousands of years old!"

Unlike the hustle and bustle outside, Guangji Temple is quiet and peaceful.

The eldest princess Zhaoyang and the third princess were both in the temple. Although there was nothing outside the temple, when you stepped into the temple, you could see a Jinwu Guard wearing casual clothes every few steps. It was already evening and there were no pilgrims in the temple. Hua Jingyao asked Xiaoli to see the two children, and she accompanied the eldest prince to the dormitory where the eldest prince Zhaoyang was temporarily living.

As soon as he entered the yard, Qingchun took the third princess and greeted him. When Hua Jingyao saw the third princess, she was surprised and happy and reached out to hug her. The third princess did not say that she was a bad person like before, but she walked around Zhao Zhun, hugged Zhao Zhun's thigh, looked at Hua Jingyao with her little head.

Qingchun looked embarrassed and said to Hua Jingyao: "Miss, don't blame me. The princess has just recovered from a serious illness and will be cured in a few days."

Hua Jingyao smiled and said, "It's okay, I can wait."

Of course she could wait. She had been waiting in the palace for three years in her previous life, and in this life, she and her sister had just begun, and she still had a lifetime to wait.

Zhao Zhun is not very familiar with this sister. If it weren't for the fact that the third princess was scared to death by what he said, he might not have remembered that he still had this sister.

Suddenly, his sister hugged her thighs. He was a little uncomfortable and embarrassed. He reached out and touched the third princess' head with great stiffness: "Jiahui, don't be afraid."

Then, he asked Qingchun again: "How is Jiahui's illness?"

Qingchun smiled and said, "The monk said that the Third Princess is a person with great opportunity. Your Highness, the Third Princess is ready, and it's all gone."

A great opportunity?

Hua Jingyao asked, "Isn't it the Soul-Leaving Symptom?"

"No, the monk said that the third princess is too weak and has no illness." This is the first time Hua Jingyao saw Qingchun smiling so relaxedly. She was the person who had been with the third princess. It seems that the old monk who lived in the back mountain said so.
