Both Zhao Yue and Cao Xin were sitting in the front hall of Fang's house waiting for the results. After all, the main purpose of their trip was to obtain evidence, and as for cleaning up Fang's family, it was just a matter of convenience.

"My lord, I have not found any other evidence. In the result of the interrogation of the servants of the Fang family, it was only found that the Fang family had mutilated young children many times, and then forced their good men into prostitution and other evil things. So far, no evidence of corruption has been found. .”

Zhao Yue said with a cold face: "Then keep looking! Even if you dig three feet into the ground, you have to find the evidence for me."

"Yes, my lord."

It was almost dark, but the evidence they wanted never appeared.

"My lord, there is a boy outside with a little girl who came to see me, saying that he has something important to report to the lord."

Zhao Yue frowned slightly and remained silent.

Cao Xin was a little surprised: "Did they report their names?"

"The young man claims his surname is Cheng, and the little girl's surname is Xie."

Only then did Cao Xin remember: "The eldest son, it should be Xie Xiucai's daughter and the Saburo from the Cheng family."

"What are they doing here?"

Cao Xin also couldn't figure it out: "Why don't you ask them to come in and ask?"

Zhao Yue nodded resolutely, and Cao Xin winked at the messenger.

Cheng Jingzhou came in holding Xie Rongzhao's little hand, "Greetings to the two adults."

Because Zhao Yue's identity has not been announced to the public, Cheng Jingzhou doesn't know what level of official he is, but if he can sit at the head of Cao Xin, his official position will definitely not be low.

"Excuse me, why are you here?"

Cheng Jingzhou hesitated for a moment, "Baby, I met the two adults, you can talk now."

Zhao Yue and Cao Xin's attention was diverted to this little girl.

"I recognize you, Uncle who sent us two dishes last time."

Cao Xin laughed all of a sudden: "Well, the little baby has a good memory. Then tell us what's important to us first?"

Xie Rongzhao thought about it, and looked around, obviously a little worried.

Zhao Yue winked, and there were no more people in the room.

"Can you rest assured now?"

Xie Rongzhao signaled Cheng Jingzhou to accompany her a few steps forward.

"Abbe, is he a good guy? If he is, then I'll tell. If he's not, then I can't say."

Xie Rongzhao actually guessed that the lord sitting in the chief seat should be the chief official who came to check security, so it is likely to be reliable.

But she is still a child now, so she can't be too conspicuous.

Cao Xin laughed and said: "Little baby, he is Mr. Zhao. He is the one who is in charge of this case. He is a good official."

Xie Rongzhao blinked, and after using his eyes to get Cheng Jingzhou's approval, he stood upright and faced Zhao Yue.

"Master Zhao, you can take someone to check the room of Miss Fang's third, um, let me think about it, oh, yes, in her embroidery room, the wardrobe needs to be removed, and then there are things."

Zhao Yue and Cao Xin were shocked, and even Cheng Jingzhou was taken aback. How did Xie Rongzhao know about such a private matter?

Cao Xin was worried, and after asking for instructions, he personally brought someone to investigate.

Zhao Yue looked at the restless little girl in front of him, and asked like alms: "Are you afraid of me?"

Xie Rongzhao shrank his neck in fright, then unconsciously stuffed his little hand into Cheng Jingzhou's.

"I, I don't know you. Sister Niu Niu told me this secret, and she died not long after that. I, I don't want Sister Niu Niu to die with regret."

The words were not complete, but both Zhao Yue and Cheng Jingzhou could tell that the reason why Xie Rongzhao knew this secret was because of a little girl named Niuniu.

"Niuniu?"

Xie Rongzhao's eyes were red: "Miss Niu Niu is a girl from the Fang family. She was sold to the Fang family by her family. We knew each other before entering the Fang family. Later, we met in the town and she was injured. , said a lot to me, and not long after, I heard that she died."

Cheng Jingzhou quickly squatted down to coax her: "Don't be sad, baby, Niuniu will not die in vain. What else did Niuniu say, can you tell the adults to hear it?"

What Xie Rongzhao said was not a lie, Niuniu was indeed known to her, but she only met after she entered the Fang family in her previous life, that young lady was beaten to death by the young master of the Fang family because she was slow in pouring tea up.

In this life, she failed to enter Fang's house, but she also heard the news of Niuniu's tragic death.

Xie Rongzhao felt ashamed in her heart, Niu Niu was the sister she liked the most in her previous life, she thought about saving Niu Niu, but before she had time to act, Niu Niu disappeared last year.

Thinking of this, Xie Rongzhao's tears flowed down, and he couldn't stop it no matter what.

"Sister Niuniu said that the masters of the Fang family like to abuse their servants. She also said that people from Fucheng often come to Fang's house. They always come at night and never stay long. Several times they come with big boxes. My sister said that she saw what she shouldn't see, and she was afraid that she would die sooner or later, she was afraid, but she didn't want to live in such pain again."

Xie Rongzhao couldn't continue, he let out a wow, and cried until he was in the dark.

Cheng Jingzhou didn't expect Guaibao to cry whenever he wanted to, and to cry so miserably.

Zhao Yue understood what she said. The little girl named Niuniu was the key person who discovered the evidence. Unfortunately, Fang's family should have discovered it and silenced her immediately.

Xie Rongzhao cried earth-shatteringly here, and Cao Xin over there finally found the evidence they had been looking for.

In addition to a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry, there are two most critical booklets.

This is the key evidence that can bring down that person!

Who would have thought that these evidences were actually hidden in a merchant's house?
After all, it's not a secret that Fang Yuanwai has a family relationship with the fourth-rank Gongcao in Fucheng, and everyone knows that Fang's family is in business, and it's normal for Fang Yuanwai to have a lot of gold and silver in his family or property under his name. .

Who would have thought that a merchant in a small town would have a connection with a senior official of the second rank in the court?

Once the things are in hand, the mission of Zhao Yue and Cao Xin's trip will be considered as a successful conclusion.

Looking at Xie Rongzhao who was still sobbing softly, Zhao Yue couldn't bear it.

If this little girl hadn't come here, who would have thought that such crucial evidence would be hidden in the embroidery room of a young daughter of the Fang family?

"Xie's little girl, come here."

Xie Rongzhao wiped away his tears, and walked over timidly.

"This is my young master's jade pendant. You can take it. If you have the opportunity to come to the capital in the future, remember to come to Weixinhou's mansion to find my young master. You have made a great contribution to this case, but you are young and this case involves It's important, it's inconvenient for my young master to involve you in it."

When the words fell, Cao Xin on the side understood: "Your father is going to participate in the Qiu Wei this year. If he wins, he will definitely go to Beijing for the test next year. At that time, Master Zhao and I will naturally report all this to the emperor."

The implication is that this achievement will be suppressed for the time being, and it may become a great help for Xie Xiuwen's spring test in the coming year!
