Dressed as cannon fodder, fake daughter, she worked hard

Chapter 106 How to repay?

Feng Xi bowed deeply, imitating the tone of an adult: "The Zhou family is very powerful, I don't know if I tell the government, under the protection of the officials, can my elder sister's case be tried fairly, I just saw two elder sisters come to Mushan Temple, I hesitated Please forgive me for interrupting you rashly."

In fact, Mr. Zhou is only a third-rank servant, let alone Zhou Gan, who is really not very powerful.But Feng Xi is just a boy with no background, and he really dare not gamble on the possibility of the officials protecting each other.

Jiang Sheng asked his sister with his eyes

——Don’t care?

Jiang Xian said slowly: "There is no evidence, how can we help you? Could it be a letter left by your sister?"

Feng Xi raised his head and said firmly, "No."

"I have—witness."

Under Feng Xi's explanation, Jiang Sheng was surprised to find that the "witness" he was talking about turned out to be one of the girls whom he had bought to keep Feng Xin in check.

Mrs. Wang slept soundly at night, but that girl happened to be a little troubled, so she couldn't sleep and came out to walk around.He happened to be hiding somewhere and witnessed the whole process of Feng Xin being pushed into the release pool by a woman under the moonlight, struggling and drowning.

But this is just Feng Xi's guess, and it has not been confirmed, because the girl has left Mushan Temple non-stop since Feng Xin drowned.

But enough.

Jiang Sheng said quickly: "I can take you to Mr. Zhang of the Ministry of Punishment. If what you said is true, Mr. Zhang is an upright official and will not cover up."

In fact, since this matter is an ordinary murder, it should not be directly handed over to the Ministry of Punishment.It's just that Jiang Sheng only recognizes people in the Ministry of Justice, and this can save a lot of tedious steps, so he went through the back door.

Feng Xi was overjoyed and bowed vigorously: "Really? Thank you! Thank you!"

Jiang Sheng silently left the direction where he bowed, always feeling like he was bullying a child.

Jiang Xian asked suddenly: "My sister is called to repay grievances with virtue, what about you?"

Her tone was casual, as if she said casually: "How should you repay us?"

Feng Xi was stunned.

Now he is poor and has nothing, only a small box left by his sister, but these two sisters don't seem to be short of money.

Feng Xi twisted his face and thought for a while: "Being like a cow is like a horse, and I will do whatever I want!"

The corners of Jiang Xian's lips twitched slightly: "Remember your words, after the matter is finished, come to Zuixianlou to find me."

If they want to find Master Clearance, they must have more available people under their command.Both of Feng Xi's parents died, and now even the last of his relatives have left, so he has nothing to worry about, which is most suitable.

Moreover, after the eldest sister was murdered and passed away suddenly, Feng Xi was able to maintain his rationality and did not seek revenge rashly. This is definitely calm for a ten-year-old boy.

Feng Xi didn't know what Jiang Xian wanted him to do, but he still agreed.

Two days later, the officials took a rest.

Jiang Sheng brought Feng Xi to the painting shop and brought him to Zhang Fengjin.

After hearing the whole story, Zhang Fengjin was naturally angry. The end of the year was approaching, and they were so busy with the Meihua case, that someone would come to make trouble and confuse the public!

Since it will leave traces if it is done, the Zhou family didn't think so thoroughly.With the directions provided by Feng Xi, after repeated investigations and interrogations, all the clues point to Zhou Gan's wet nurse.

The wet nurse who protected the master, under all the tortures, still insisted that she and Feng Xin had a quarrel, but she was so angry that she acted cruelly, and it had nothing to do with the master's family.

But the people in the government are not vegetarians. How can a servant easily take someone's life without the order of the master?

Later, the interrogator started with the nurse's children, and only then did he find out that it was Mrs. Zhou's instigation.

The wet nurse was immediately sentenced to death, and Mr. Zhou was an official of the imperial court after all, Mrs. Zhou was also a pleasant person, so Zhang Fengjin couldn't directly order it, so he wrote a memorial to describe the matter.

The evidence was conclusive, the emperor was furious, and immediately drafted an order.Mrs. Zhou's death was the main culprit. Considering that she was a female relative, she was given a glass of poisoned wine. Mr. Zhou was dismissed from office, and members of the three clans were not allowed to take scientific examinations for three generations.

As soon as the imperial decree arrived, everyone in Zhou Mansion panicked.

Mrs. Zhou, who was kneeling on the ground, raised her head in disbelief and looked up at the father-in-law who announced the decree.

She didn't understand that Feng Xin was just an ordinary girl whose parents died, and she died as soon as she died, even if it was found that she had put some money in her head, it would be fine.No matter how bad it is, the wet nurse will take the blame. How did this happen? !

The father-in-law was expressionless, with a high-pitched voice, and the bright yellow imperial decree made his hands whiter: "Lord Zhou, accept the decree."

Mrs. Zhou knelt and crawled in front of the father-in-law, her expression was extremely scary: "Did you make a mistake?"

Zhou Wenqian wanted to break his voice: "It must be a mistake!"

The father-in-law took a step back and swept the whisk to the elbow joint: "What do Mrs. Zhou and Miss Zhou mean, that our family falsely preached the imperial decree?"

"Calm down, calm down, that's not what she meant." Lord Zhou gave Madam Zhou a hasty look, and raised his hands to receive the imperial edict, "Thank you, my emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live."

Thunder, rain and dew are all God's grace.

But Mrs. Zhou didn't know this truth, and looked at her husband in disbelief: "Zhou Liren, do you know what you're talking about?!"

That decree does not leave her a way out!
"Shut up!" Master Zhou yelled, "You know what you have done yourself, and it is a good fortune that His Majesty gave you the whole body now."

Mrs. Zhou shook her head with horror on her face: "Obviously you agreed to this matter at the beginning, but now it's all right, if something goes wrong, I will take care of it alone, right?!"

The father-in-law was obviously used to seeing this scene, and his face remained unchanged: "The time has come, Mrs. Zhou, let's send you on your way, it's also a way to save face."

He beckoned, and the little eunuch who followed immediately brought a square wooden plate with a delicate wine glass on it.

"No, no." Mrs. Zhou stepped back again and again, "You can't do this to me!"

Zhou Wenqian hugged her and cried loudly: "Mother—"

"I don't want you to die, I..." Zhou Wenqian's eyes lit up when he saw the wine glass on the wooden plate, "I'll drink it for you!"

As she spoke, she was about to rush over, but Zhou Gan grabbed her and shouted sharply, "Qian'er!"

The father-in-law became a little impatient at first, Master Zhou tightened his heart when he saw his expression, and quickly said: "My wife can't accept it for a while, please give us some time, and I will have a few words with her."

"Then Master Zhou, please hurry up. If something happens, Master Zhou knows the consequences." The father-in-law waved his hand.

Mr. Zhou responded repeatedly.

When only the husband and wife were left around, Mrs. Zhou yelled, "Don't come here!"

Master Zhou calmed down and said, "Fuying, I know you are feeling uncomfortable now, and I am not feeling well either."

Mrs. Zhou sneered: "Are you going to feel bad? When I die, you will stay and fly with your aunts, right? And yours—"

"Fuying." Master Zhou interrupted, coaxing her softly, "I was dismissed from office and exiled, will those aunts still follow me faithfully?"

"You're really overthinking." Master Zhou shook his head and whispered softly, "But as long as our children are alive, there is hope. If the emperor is annoyed, they may not even be able to keep Qianer."

"If you obey the imperial decree, even if it's not for me, you have to think about your children."
