The Legend of Rebirth of the Demon Empress

Chapter 224 Borrowing a Knife
That night, Lin Zisu didn't know when she fell asleep.

Countless scenes flashed in the dream, everything was strange and familiar.

When she woke up the next day, the familiar person waiting for her had become a glimpse.In the past early in the morning, it was the girl Hu Po who kept twittering and urging her, but today she didn't know where she went.

Lve Ying doesn't do much grooming on weekdays, and it's pretty ordinary. Lin Zisu doesn't have any mood to dress up, so she simply asks Lve Ying to put two garlands on her head, with two beaded flowers as embellishments.

Lin Zisu tidied up and was about to go to her mother's yard to pay her respects.Seeing her leave the yard, Lve Ying specifically asked, "Miss, it's almost noon now, where are you going Madam?"

Lin Zisu was taken aback immediately, and unconsciously looked up to the sky. The sky is gloomy today, and it's hard to tell what time it is.

Since it was noon, there was no need to go to mother's place anymore, Lin Zisu sighed and said, "Let's go back."

The master and the servant were about to walk back when they heard Huang's voice in the distance: "You little bastard! Come out to my mother. You are worth a thousand dollars. The dowry my mother worked so hard to save for your sister, you say, you Where did you get those banknotes!"

Although Huang's two sentences were vague, combined with what Xie Xi said last night, Lin Zisu immediately understood the whole story.

Lve Ying said with a wry smile: "Second Madam was making trouble early in the morning, saying that Second Young Master stole her silver. This has been going on for a long time, and it hasn't stopped yet."

Lin Zisu thought of Xie Xi, and felt a little depressed. She didn't have time to take care of her second aunt's housework, so she returned to her yard sullenly.

Throughout the whole day, Lin Zisu's heart was blocked, and the basic western books that she had loved so much, she couldn't even arouse any interest.

After half a day in such a daze, at dusk, it was Hu Po who was the first to notice the strangeness of her young lady, and asked: "Miss, I see that your complexion is not right, did you catch cold at night?"

Lin Zisu thought about her symptoms today, and it seemed that it was indeed a precursor to catching a cold, so she immediately ordered Amber to take some medicine for eliminating wind.

It's okay not to drink the medicine, but after taking the medicine blindly, after another night, the sullenness in my heart not only did not relieve, but became more serious.

It was only then that Lin Zisu believed that people often said that "the doctor cannot heal himself", even if she could detoxify the emperor, if it fell on her, the chest tightness alone would be useless.

Early in the morning, after greeting Bi Shi, she took Amber and went out, planning to go to the doctor in the clinic for treatment.

As soon as he left Erli Lane and headed west, Lin Zisu saw crowds of people on the usually noisy Huifeng Street, all trotting in one direction, and a few peddlers who were acquainted with each other on weekdays kept talking while running talk.

"Brother, have you heard that the Jingzhao Mansion's trial of the Tantai Songmai murder case is open today, and the trial will begin soon."

"That's right, I'm dissatisfied with my brother, I've heard a lot of these crap about the Tantai family these days. I thought it was just a storyteller's fabrication, but I didn't expect it to be all true."

"Of course it's true. The man we saw at the intersection two days ago is the eldest son of the Tantai mansion. I heard that he was kicked out because he broke the adulterous relationship between his father and his wife." Out of Tantai's house."

"Fortunately, that Tantai Song is still a scholar, so he would do such a thing that is inferior to a beast."

"Don't you understand, who can do these things is not a scholar?"

Several people walked forward while talking, their voices gradually became inaudible.Amber tentatively asked, "Miss, should we go and listen?"

The yamen of Jingzhao Mansion was not too far away, the master and servant left in no hurry, and after walking for a quarter of an hour, they arrived at the gate of the yamen.

When the two arrived, there was already a sea of ​​people around the door, Hu Po stomped her feet and said, "Miss, we are still a step too late, there is no place to stand here!"

Lin Zisu shook her head with a smile, and said, "We just listen to the result. It doesn't matter how the Jingzhao Mansion handles the case. Whether we listen or not."

Even though she said so, she raised her head and glanced at the Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion.

In the previous life, Tantai Song had a prosperous official career, and since Xie Yao succeeded to the throne, he has always held the position of second assistant.

Unexpectedly, within a few months of his rebirth, Tantai Song would end up in disrepute. This time Jingzhao Mansion publicly tried the Tantai family's case, and the Tantai family's reputation would plummet.

Lin Zisu pointed to a restaurant not far away, and said to Amber, "I'm afraid this case won't be finished for a while, so let's wait for the result there."

Just as the master and servant left, there was a commotion in the crowd, all pointing and pointing at the lobby of the government office.

"That is... the little Eunuch Cao from the palace?"

"It's indeed that little Eunuch Cao. I saw him at the gate when Prince Wei's mansion was sealed a few days ago."

"That's it. Let little Eunuch Cao come here today. I think this case involves too much, and the officials can't bear the face."

"That's right, Tantaisong used to be a member of the imperial court. His case is not so easy to try. Let's just wait and see!"

The Tantai family's case today is actually not difficult to hear.

Tantaisong's outer room, because of being neglected by Tantaisong, couldn't help complaining to a woman beside him.

Then I don't know how it got out, and it happened that there was a lot of rumors about the Tantai family in Beijing, and this matter was picked up by good people and spread everywhere.

Immediately afterwards, a murderer came to the mansion of the outer room, intending to kill and silence him.

Unexpectedly, the people of Dongchang had already ambushed there, and the killer didn't kill anyone, but fell into the hands of Dongchang.

It was not difficult for Dongchang to try the case, and in a few clicks, he dug out Tantai Song's mouth for murder.

Following this clue, all the private affairs of Tantai's family were confessed. Dongchang didn't overdo it this time, and moved all the clues to Jingzhao Mansion under the pretext of a civil case.

Yin Fang Maochun of Jingzhao Mansion has been in fear these days, waiting for the edict from the palace, but what he waited for was the case of Tantai's family, he couldn't help frowning.

Hundreds of corpses were found in the town on the outskirts of the city. No matter how he defended, the charge of negligence and dereliction of duty would definitely be unavoidable.

But the higher-ups did not convict him, instead they handed such a hot matter into his hands.

The centipede is dead but not stiff, even if the Tantai family loses power, it is not something he, the governor of the Jingzhao Mansion, can provoke. Fang Maochun wondered if someone dug a hole for him, waiting for him to make mistakes , and then justifiably punished him.

Of course it won't be Dongchang. Dongchang makes a move and doesn't care about it at all. The biggest possibility is that Dun Wang Xie Xi.

Fang Maochun felt that in Shili Town that day, he chose Cao Lang to refute King Dun's face.If Xie Xi retaliated, it would be reasonable.

Until Cao Lang went to Jingzhao Mansion in person and discussed the case with Fang Maochun in a serious manner, Fang Maochun suddenly gained confidence.

It turned out that Eunuch Cao wanted him to make a knife.
