Liang Zhi was so efficient that he fished out a body from the lake before noon.

The corpse at the bottom of the lake was half a year after the murder. The body was swollen and rotten beyond recognition, making it difficult to identify.

But since Pei Shu had dealt with it once, she quickly found out based on the clues she knew that the deceased was Qiuye, the maid of the second family in the North Courtyard.

"Wangcai, it was the spring of that year, on the ninth day of February, you pulled Qiuye in the garden and wanted to do something wrong, but Qiuye refused to obey, so you became angry and brutally killed her and buried her in the lake, right?"

Qiuye was dead, and Pei Shu also covered up the fact that she had been tainted.

In an era when starving to death was a small matter and being dishonest was a serious matter, a woman's chastity was more important than heaven. Even if she died, her family would not have peace.

The strapped-up Wangcai shook his head.

Yesterday, he mocked his sister for being timid and confident that nothing would happen to her. This slap in the face came too quickly.

"It seems so." Pei Shu didn't need him to speak at all: "Yun Que, let him sign."

Yun Que blinked, wondering if the girl was a little too hasty in deciding the case?

Well, how is it possible? The girl in their family is wise and wise, as smart as ice and snow, beyond ancient times and today, and can be good at everything.

After secretly confirming it in his mind, Yunque took out the incriminating document and cinnabar that he had prepared early in the morning, and pressed Wangcai to seal it.

In a daze, he was convicted of murder. Of course Wangcai refused and struggled fiercely.

Yunque glanced at the cinnabar box rolling away, raised her hand and slapped him twice, making stars appear in his eyes.

Then he pulled out a dagger, stabbed his hand and made a cut. He grabbed his bloody hand and pressed on the indictment sheet: "Be honest."

If you behave well, you will suffer less punishment.

Wangcai: "..."

He talked wildly about the female queen who is strong on the outside and strong on the inside, but he was wrong. She is strong on the outside and strong on the inside, she is just a reckless and arbitrary idiot!

It’s so frustrating to just fold like this.

Pei Shu perfunctorily counted the crimes that Wang could only mention, and ordered: "Someone, drag this evil slave down with a two hundred stick and throw him out of the house."

There were several maids involved and it was difficult to send them to the official. If he was tortured and tortured, he would give up all of them and it would be unsightly.

According to the law, even princes and nobles cannot execute servants privately at will, but they can reward them with a plank.

There are some skills involved in making boards.

"Where is Chai Xin?" Pei Shu shouted.

Among the guards waiting outside the second door, a man with a waist as thick as a bear and a back as broad as a tiger came out after hearing the sound.

Pei Shu waved to him: "Come on, you come to carry out the execution."

Chai Xin walked over, standing in the middle of the courtyard, like a mountain, with a large shadow on the ground.

Wangcai's head buzzed, his face suddenly turned as white as paper, and he was so frightened that he peed.

With a staff of two hundred, he would be disabled even if he was not dead. It was a near-death situation, not to mention that Chai Xin was a martial artist and could carry a cauldron.

A narrow escape becomes a certain death situation.

He was squirming on the ground like a silkworm chrysalis, staring at the courtyard door, his eyes almost popping out of his head.

It's been so long, why haven't the reinforcements come yet?!

Sister, grandma, help me!

Yes, Pei Shu was also surprised, why didn't Mrs. Qin come?

Perhaps in response to her call, a fragrant breeze floated outside the hanging flower door: "Wait a minute!"

As the figure of the fragrant and fragrant woman on the temples came closer, I saw that the corners of the elegant and elegant woman's mouth were tightened, and her well-maintained face was full of anger, and she spoke sarcastically.

"The queen is so majestic. The people in my backyard don't say hello to them, and they deal with them as they are told."

Pei Shu's expression was calm, and her gaze fell lightly on Qin's sullen face.

"Yunque, read Wangcai's confession to the eldest lady."

After listening to Yunque's reading, Mrs. Qin was a little unbelievable. Wangcai killed someone?

She has always known that purchasing manager is a lucrative position, but when the water is clear, there will be no fish. A little greed is harmless, and it will be the same no matter who you take.

Killing shouldn't be a problem...

"Has it been verified?" As long as it is said by the eldest daughter, it does not matter whether it is right or wrong. Mrs. Qin has always questioned it: "Don't be rash and arbitrary, and you will wrong the innocent."

"Is mother questioning Aye's vision?" Pei Shu said slowly.

Questioning her ability at every turn, Qin has forgotten that it was Pei Kunliang who pushed her to the throne against all odds.

No, this sentence struck a delicate chord in Mrs. Qin's heart.

Qin Korong's beautiful eyes narrowed, the cold light was cold, and she suppressed the fire and said: "Even if he made a mistake, his crime will not lead to death."

Pei Shu smiled and said: "I have killed people to pay for my life. How come my mother's crime does not lead to death?"

"He has done many evil deeds and committed serious crimes. I spared him the death penalty and gave him a two hundred stick. He was given a lighter sentence. What else does mother want from me?"

A stick worth two hundred dollars is still alive? It was clear that she was going to kill her son, so Grandma You suppressed her hatred, knelt down and kowtowed,

"Nvjun, my son doesn't even dare to kill a chicken. He definitely has no guts to kill anyone. There must be something inside here. Please be aware of it."

After he kowtowed, he turned around and walked to Qin's feet with tears streaming down his face, begging hard.

"Madam, this is my old slave. How can he live without me? Please Madam, for the sake of serving you for half of my life, advise the queen to suspend her actions, find out the truth and restore my son's innocence.

.”

Mrs. Qin sighed lowly, Wang Cai was a bit out of bounds, but Nanny You had been with her for so many years, and the bond between master and servant was here.

"For his first offense, how about giving him twenty blackboards as a small punishment but a big warning, and dismissing him from his post as a warning to others?"

"As for the matter of murder, there are many doubts. It will not be too late for me to investigate the matter in detail before judging the crime."

The mother-in-law actually had to grovel in front of her children. Qin held back all her willpower and spat out soft words, but her tone was uncontrollably harsh.

She was angry in her heart and couldn't vent it for a while. She was very angry. She lowered her head and scolded Grandma You, saying,

"Your family's prosperous behavior is becoming more and more outrageous. If you take it back, you must be restrained. If you do it again, you will not be merciful."

"Yes, yes, yes, the eldest lady is generous and kind, and I am deeply grateful. From now on, I will strictly discipline this rebellious son so that he will not cause trouble to the eldest lady." Aunt You was overjoyed, wiped her nose and tears, and kowtowed to express her gratitude.

The two masters and servants of Xiyuan sang together and walked straight past Pei Shu, settling the matter as if nothing happened.

It is also called detailed investigation.

What's the difference between asking Qin to investigate and exonerating Wangcai directly?

Pei Shu sneered in her heart, the smile in her eyes did not diminish, and she had a confused look on her face.

"The crime Wangcai committed is clear and there is no need for review."

"My mother is soft-hearted and nostalgic, and my daughter has also taken your wishes into account and shown her filial piety. However, as the head of a family, if he acts in a biased and unfair manner, how can he convince the public?

"It's hard for me to be a mother."

"By the way, is Sister Yu feeling better? How did mother think about my previous suggestion?"

At this juncture, old things were brought up again, and it was clear what his intentions were. Qin's eyebrows were tightened, and he gritted his teeth and said,

"Tell me, what are you trying so hard to take away from me?"

"Sister Yu was born delicate and often ailing. My mother had to take care of her while also taking care of the backyard. It was really hard."

Pei Shu's thick black eyelashes were half closed, covering the teasing cunningness in her eyes, and she said sincerely,

"Every time I think about this daughter, I can't sleep at night. I think about how to find a suitable person to take care of the middle child and take care of my mother's worries."

It is true that she had the intention to let the Duke's palace rot, but thinking about the empty treasury and the bad debts like cow and horse shit,

He was very angry as he was surrounded by traitors who were always ready to betray his master.

She has to have an easy time, and no one can have an easy time!

In a word, she just couldn't sit back and watch the Qin family clinging to the power of the Central Government, living comfortably and extravagantly with her precious daughter, enjoying wealth and wealth.
