Chapter 162 – The Best of the Weird (1 / 2)

“Without a public decision on this matter, don’t even think about letting this madam go back.” After Mrs. State Uncle said that, she sat down on a stone bench at that moment.

Lady Cui Hou sneered, “Elder Zhang has already left, and since Lady State Uncle has this kind of skill, she should check it out herself.”

Mrs. Guoyu smiled contemptuously, “He is the Capital Zhaoyin, this lady doesn’t believe that he really just shrugged off like this.”

Mrs. Cui Hou no longer pays attention to her, even if she is angry, now is not the time to fight over words, so she simply turned around and left.

Cui Ming was kneeling on the ground at the moment, and Mu Zi Yan and Niang Zi Lu came out, and immediately wanted to leave.

Seeing this, Marquis Cui hurried forward, “The two girls, this is”

“The state uncle’s wife is a powerful one, she would rather leave her own young lady’s corpse there to be disgraced, but also want to go through the mouth, since she despises the folk daughter, why should the folk daughter ask for this uninteresting.” Mu Zi Yan coldly snorted, “Marquis, this matter you still ask for another high mind, even if the Emperor wants to condemn, the folk daughter also recognized.”

“This” Marquis Cui now even more headache, it is not easy to let Zhang Zong to come to investigate the case, but now by this state uncle wife to stir up, he immediately black face, turn his eyes to see Marquis Cui wife also gloomy face out.

“How did you get out,” Marquis Cui said in a deep voice.

“Master, that state uncle’s wife is a capable one, I can’t afford to mess with her.” Marquis Lady Cui lowered her eyes and glanced at Cui Ming, “Ming’er ah, if you have a long or short life, mother will go with you.”

Cui Ming drooped his eyes and did not say anything, at this moment is depressed, that blue Xiner is that he is not willing to marry, and today even inexplicably happen this matter, he has not yet come back to taste it today.

Mu Zi Yan see Cui Ming bowed his head since the beginning has not had any reaction, can not help but feel that this person is calm, turned his eyes to look at Marquis Cui, and then said, “folk daughter farewell.”

After saying that, he walked outward with Niangzi Lu.

Zhang Zong said at this moment, “Marquis, this matter the next official this will enter the palace to report to the emperor, will certainly let the capable come.”

“Oops.” Marquis Cui hurriedly said, “Lord Zhang, who else but you is in charge of this mess nowadays.”

“As an official of the imperial court, this official has been described by Mrs. Guoyu as a matchless metrosexual, so this official is not worthy of meddling in the affairs of Guoyu’s residence.” Zhang Zong said in a deep voice, turned around and walked out.

“Nonsense” Zhang Zong was about to leave, then ran head-on into the uncle of the state, only to see that he has a square face, see this momentum is upright, he took a step forward, looked at Zhang Zong, said in a low voice, “women’s opinion, Zhang and why should you take it to heart.”

“State uncle this intention, if the folk daughter said a state uncle looking at their own daughter was insulted, even only focus on going forward to sue, but insisted that she only cover a robe that is not just who will be thrown behind that wigwam, this kind of shameless father, the folk daughter is also the first time to see.” Mu Zi Yan said coldly.

“How dare you,” Uncle Guo looked at Mu Zi Yan and snapped.

“The people’s daughter since is unbridled, but according to the state uncle’s words just now, the people’s daughter is just a woman’s opinion, you are the hall of the state uncle, and why should you take it to heart,” Mu Zi Yan unassuming rebuttal, looking straight at the state uncle, “the people’s daughter would like to say that, although the state uncle’s wife’s status is noble, but the insults of the positive The third grade officials, this is equivalent to hit the face of the emperor, if this matter is reported to the emperor, even if Princess Liu to intercede, Mrs. Guoyu this mouth is afraid to be torn to pieces it”.

“If according to you, you now speak to this uncle so, this uncle should not also tear your mouth” Uncle Guo’s eyes narrowed slightly, said in a deep voice.

“Then the folk daughter simply go out, if the folk daughter will say this matter out, the state uncle master can become the capital ringing red man, even if tearing the folk daughter this mouth, is also worth it.” Mu Zi Yan slowly said, and then blessed body said, “If the state uncle master does not do, then the folk daughter will go with Mr. Zhang into the palace.”

“What a big mouth,” Mrs. State Uncle stepped forward at this moment, and at that moment, she roared at Mu Zi Yan, “Come on people, don’t tear her mouth apart.”

Mu Zi Yan raised her eyebrows and looked at Mrs. State Uncle with a smile, “Mrs. State Uncle may try her hand, but I can’t guarantee that Mrs. State Uncle’s hand, in less than half an hour, the news of Mrs. State Uncle’s bullying will be spread in the capital.”

Mrs. State Uncle’s eyes stared slightly, and she said in a deep voice, “Hmph, that would require tearing your mouth apart first.”

Mu Zi Yan faintly swept over the furious face of Mrs. State Uncle, and when Mrs. State Uncle’s people came forward, Zhang Zong said in a deep voice, “Men, take down Mrs. State Uncle.”

“Yes.” The yamen behind him led the order to come forward, and they were about to take down the State Uncle’s wife.

“What are you doing,” State uncle coldly looked at Zhang Zong, his face cold and heavy.

“State uncle, this official is not know, you hall of state uncle even dare to allow their own wife insulted this official, just now this official look at the face of the state uncle to stay a few thin face, if it is the state uncle want to block the words, this official will be truthful report, as for now, will be the state uncle wife to bring back to the Beijing Zhaoyin government office.” Zhang Zong face condensation, immediately will be angry, according to his original temperament, where can still tolerate this state uncle wife in front of their own so wantonly, can say that words, he will be able to let the state uncle wife to eat a pocket to go, just consider Mu Zi Yan and Lu Niangzi, only to back down a step, but in turn, help the other side of the flames.

He then opened the holy decree, “Anyone who dares to obstruct this official’s case will be caned for thirty.”

Zhang Zong said, then without looking at the State Uncle, he turned around and stepped out of Marquis Cui’s mansion right then and there.

State uncle froze on the spot, along with Marquis Cui and Marquis Cui’s wife also froze on the spot, and waited until Mu Zi Yan and Niang Zi Lu left with Zhang Zong, the two of them looked at each other, raised his eyes to look at the state uncle, cold snort, turned around and went into the front hall.

This state uncle on the basis of is Liu Fei’s brother, although not to make what murder and arson, rampage is a common thing, especially this state uncle with the state uncle wife is a well-known bully, since the eye above the top, I do not know how many people offended, and now see Cui Marquis on him like this, he is just a cold snort, since the sleeve away, even have not paid attention to that now still lying in the back of the rockery their daughter.

Mu Zi Yan only said that this state uncle master and state uncle wife is really the best of the oddballs, even only care about their own face, not the slightest regard for their own daughters.

She sat inside the carriage with Niangzi Lu, her face frozen, and whispered, “The corpse of that state uncle’s young lady.”

“Ai.” Niangzi Lu sighed and said in exasperation, “This day must be a good time to make this State Uncle’s wife learn a lesson.”

Mu Zi Yan had never seen Niangzi Lu this angry before, so she immediately said, “Not bad, it’s just to let her remember some lessons.”

Zhang Zong left before, has ordered people into the wigwam behind the body of the young lady coffined, together with carried back to the Beijing Zhaoyin government office.

After waiting for the government office, Zhang Zong dismounted with an iron face, and immediately entered the public hall in his official robe.

The wife of the state uncle was escorted into the public hall by two officers, the wife of the state uncle, who had never seen such a battle, immediately screamed, “You are only a third-grade official, my wife is a second-grade lady, you dare to touch my wife.”

“So what if it’s second grade,” Zhang Zong then picked up the imperial decree in his hand, “Below the imperial decree, whoever dares to obstruct this official’s case, regardless of grade, will be punished according to the crime.”

“Hello you this Zhang Zong, this lady where said wrong you and that shameless woman with the same food and live together, is not no matchmaking,” the state uncle wife anger can not be uncovered, always lawlessness inertia, and now since it does not care where this is, at once will be scolded angrily.

At this time, Mu Zi Yan and Niangzi Lu arrived just in time, she turned her eyes and saw Niangzi Lu’s eyes overflowing with cold light, this kind of gaze Niangzi Lu had never seen before, she whispered, “Sister Lu, leave this matter to Big Brother Zhang.”

“En.” Nyonya Lu nodded her head in response, then she collected her cold light and turned around, then went behind the screen.

Zhang Zong said in a deep voice, “Slap your mouth.”

“Yes.” The magistrate at the side led the order, and then he took the token and went up to fight.

With a “pop”, the token struck the fair cheek of the State Uncle’s wife, and a red mark was immediately imprinted.

“Ah” Mrs. State Uncle pain screamed up, will be pressed on her two magistrates to break free, but the strength is not big, so it can only be shaken haphazardly, hair disheveled, hairpin scattered all over the place.

In the state uncle wife has not yet reacted to the time, followed by the second board, followed by the third board, dozens of times in a row, the state uncle wife from the initial scream to the back only issued a “buzz” sound, cheeks have been red and swollen, the whole face from afar look like a pig’s head.

The state uncle arrived to see is the scene in front of him, angry straight to the public hall, but was stopped by the magistrates, Zhang Zong coldly looked at the state uncle wife limp on the ground, but he did not have the slightest bit of softness, but coldly said, “Pull down the cane thirty, handcuffed to the shackles, kneeling with the yamen outside for a day.”

“Yes.” This is not more than a woman in the back of the house, to be dry, Yamen is not soft, and immediately dragged the state uncle out of the wife, the hand since the hard, the state uncle wife was palmed, simply can not call out, and now hissing, but there is no sound, which hit the end of the straight to half a life.

The state uncle only felt that this is where to hit the state uncle wife, clearly is to hit his face, and also hit the sound, now see the state uncle wife was escorted to kneel outside the court, then surrounded a lot of people came to watch.

Some people will begin to whisper up, this capital, since there are a lot of people have received this state uncle’s wife insulted, and now see her dressed in expensive clothes, hair bun messy, back also stained with blood, the people did not sympathize with, but also in the side of the applause in the hearts of the people.

This is angry with the state uncle, think of him as the state uncle, where not to be surrounded by, now instead of being so mocked, he turned around and hurried into the palace, since it is to complain to the Royal Court to go.

Zhang Zong turned around and entered the back hall, looking at Niangzi Lu with a cold expression on his face.

Seeing this, Lady Lu whispered, “I’d better go.”

“Go what” Zhang Zong was anxious, suddenly went forward, do not know where to get the courage, a brain said, “my heart to you can not you see I do not know what you in the end concerns, but there is a day I am in the day, will not let you be aggrieved, I do not have much ability, even if I sit in this position, but also did not save savings, only count on the salary to live, if you do not mind my mute nature, you will let me. I don’t have much ability, even if I sit in this position, I haven’t saved any savings, I only count on my salary to live, if you don’t dislike my mute nature, then you should let me.”

Niangzi Lu looked at him, her eyes overflowing with tears, and did not answer, but turned around and ran out.

Zhang Zong froze this time, looking at a loss for words.

Mu Zi Yan sighed, “Don’t go after them yet”

“Oh.” Only then did Zhang Zong respond, and at that moment, he took large steps to chase after them.

Mu Zi Yan clapped her hands and said, “This is considered a good thing.”

She looked at the State Uncle’s wife outside, knowing that the State Uncle must have gone to sue the Imperial Court, her eyes narrowed slightly, “Hidden One, it’s common for the State Uncle to accidentally break his leg while riding a horse.”

“Yes.” Hidden One led the order and went to do so.

State uncle rode to the palace, just rode to the half, out of the busiest streets, turn the corner, but I do not know how this horse, suddenly frightened, and then galloped forward, the state uncle hastily grabbed the reins of the horse, to stabilize, how do you know that the horse is like crazy, and then suddenly the two front hooves fell forward, the state uncle was thrown out of the trend, hands straight to the ground, and immediately they are I heard the cracking sound of the knee, the state uncle wailed out in pain, behind the guards rushed to see him hurriedly carried to the nearest medical center.

The state uncle’s hands covered his knees in pain, and when he arrived at the medical center, the doctor hurriedly went to diagnose and treat him, and then sighed, “The state uncle’s legs are fractured, and he will need to recuperate for a few days.”

“Fractures,” Uncle Guo’s eyes were cold, “go, but not into the palace to ask the eunuch.”

“Yes.” The guards received the order then immediately took the license of the State Uncle Master and went to the palace.

And the state uncle was then carefully carried back to the state uncle house, where there is still the heart to sue the Royal Court, and now only think about their legs, and even now is kneeling pitifully outside the Yamen, the state uncle wife in addition to a side of the grandmother, no one to ask.

Mu Zi Yan waited for a while, then she saw Niangzi Lu walking over with her eyes downcast, she came forward, “Sister Lu, you should just obey Brother Zhang.”

“You girl, don’t talk nonsense.” Niangzi Lu raised her eyes to look at her and said in a low voice, “No nonsense in the future, how can an unmarried woman say such loose talk.”

Mu Zi Yan laughed lowly, “Yes.”

When Niangzi Lu saw her like this, “Cui Houfu, I think.”

“En.” Mu Zi Yan nodded her head in response, and when she raised her eyes, she saw Zhang Zong joyfully coming over.

Mu Zi Yan was happy at that moment, did not expect this state uncle’s wife so much trouble, but let Zhang Zong will tell the truth, this can be considered a happy ending.

But for the state uncle’s wife, Mu Zi Yan is not going to let her off so easily, so now it is freezing cold, then let her kneel outside for a day.

Mrs. State uncle now pain sweating, outside the cold wind, the people on the road are freezing shivering, but she is sweating, raised his eyes to see a side of the Sister, want to get up, but there is not the slightest strength, and there are magistrates aside to watch, she was angry and gritted her teeth, and thought of the State uncle into the palace, she will certainly be Zhang Zong can not eat and take away.

Just her kneeling there, the whole person feel are frozen numb, stiff all over the body, more pain can not move, but still do not see the uncle of the state to come.

When Mu Zi Yan and the three of them went back to Marquis Cui’s mansion again, Marquis Cui rushed forward and said in a low voice, “Elder Zhang, tomorrow is the wedding day, this matter is still better to close the case earlier.”

“Marquis Cui, this matter will be investigated clearly by this official, but it is also necessary to know exactly how this State Uncle’s House’s young lady died.” Zhang Zong looked at Cui Ming still kneeling on the ground, since he came in the right moment until now, Cui Ming was kneeling like this.

Marquis Cui turned his eyes to look at Cui Ming and said in a deep voice, “Still not speaking”

Cui Ming only raised his head, this time Zhang Zong can know why Cui Ming lowered his head, only because he was beaten bruises and swollen face, now where there are days that handsome appearance, now this appearance is really miserable ah.

Mu Zi Yan and Lv Niangzi saw it, the two of them lowered their eyes and coughed dryly a few times, then silently went to the side, Mu Zi Yan and Lv Niangzi in the time they left the Beijing Zhaoyin government office, they will be carried back to the corpse of that young lady examined again, then also have a preliminary judgment.

Therefore, now once again going forward to the back of the wigwam, Mu Zi Yan carefully looked at it, and then looked at Niangzi Lu, “Sister Lu, how far do you think the front of this wigwam is from here”

“Are you saying that although this wigwam is a place of concealment, it is not the best place to have fun” Nyonya Lu continued.

“En.” Mu Zi Yan nodded her head and responded, then half squatted, glancing at the traces on the ground, blood stains imprinted on the scraped skin due to friction, as well as some dirt.

Her eyes narrowed slightly, then she glanced at the inside of the rockery, she remembered that the last time she came to Marquis Cui, because of the matter of Cui Yun Ran, she had since observed Marquis Cui as well, and now that she thought about it, this place was indeed a bit strange.

To be able to think of this place, must be familiar with Cui Houfu people, if Cui Ming really captured the young lady, and also be discovered by others, the State uncle even led people directly into the, this is too much of a coincidence with the logical!

She looked up at Lady Lu, “Don’t you think it looks a little too obvious”

“Deliberately.” Nyx Lui continued.

“Not bad.” Mu Zi Yan nodded her head, “But it’s a pity for this young lady from the State Uncle’s House.”

“Ai.” Niangzi Lu sighed, “This is the sadness of a lady of the family, the first daughter has her own status, but the concubine daughter can only passively bear it.”

“Is that so,” Mu Zi Yan laughed lowly, “What about Zhong Xuan she’s not the same as a concubine daughter, but now she’s the third prince’s side consort.”

“But most of them are.” Niangzi Lu said as she looked at Mu Zi Yan.

“Sister Lu is now discussing with me the difference between the first and the concubine” Mu Zi Yan continued, “Then I ask you, if in the future Brother Zhang takes a concubine and gives birth to a child, you will treat them equally”

Niangzi Lu whispered, “If he dares to take a concubine, I will make peace with him.” Niangzi Lu whispered.

“Sister Lu, in this world, male power is supreme, which man doesn’t have three wives and four concubines, it’s the ones who are peddlers that don’t have just one wife.” Mu Zi Yan whispered, “However, I agree with what you said, sister Lu.”

“You, you see everything so thoroughly.” Niangzi Lu smiled helplessly, then said, “I just think that it’s already rare to be able for a woman to be able to make a choice.”

Mu Zi Yan raised her eyes to see Zhang Zong coming, she got up and said, “Cui Shizi is able to speak”

“How can you speak after being beaten like that” Zhang Zong continued, “I’m afraid tomorrow’s big wedding will be a joke.”

“Yes, the groom is a pig’s head.” Mu Zi Yan hooked her lips and smiled lightly, “And the day before the wedding, he also took the young lady of the State Uncle’s House in the street and abused her to death.”

“But find out what to” Zhang Zong also followed the smile, knowing that this thing to do too obvious, but it is an opportunity to humiliate Cui Ming just, just that the state uncle’s house of the young lady became a scapegoat.

“What did Big Brother Zhang find out,” Mu Zi Yan asked in a low voice.

“This matter, Cui Shizi is the victim.” Zhang Zong continued, “That young lady was not his doing.”

“I know.” Mu Zi Yan continued, “That young lady was abused by another, and then dropped off here, and placed Cui Shi Zi here, therefore, with such a loud noise outside, Cui Shi Zi would not have been able to hear it.”

“Yes.” Zhang Zong then nodded, “However, did you find evidence”

“Evidence” Mu Zi Yan then said, “If it is true that in this place, the woman will certainly call out, since it will be heard by others, even if not dare to make a sound, but this lady face being abused. Humiliation, can not not struggle, and this is all around are neat, and no signs of struggle, only this place on the hay traces of being moved, is that the murderer will be bullying. The murderer dragged the dead to the hay after the abuse, causing the abuse. Struggle during the humiliation, and then left Cui Shizi in this place, so it will leave these traces.”

“In that case, then this is not the first murder scene,” Zhang Zong said as he looked at Mu Zi Yan.

“En.” Mu Zi Yan nodded her head and responded, “As for the first murder scene, it should be within the Cui Houfu, moreover, the one who did this must have been working with the Cui Houfu’s people inside and outside, after all, with a person who was abused. The woman who has been abused, and also have to rush in the state uncle’s mansion’s people to make a mess before doing all this, the time needed to be very extremely short.”

“You’re right.” Zhang Zong nodded his head in response.

“Then, the accomplices are still within Marquis Cui’s residence.” Mu Zi Yan said in a low voice, and then turned her eyes to look at Niangzi Lu who was at the side, and then said, “Sister Lu, I remember you said that when you examined the corpse, you found a few strands of hair that didn’t belong to that young lady”

“En.” Lady Lu nodded in response, “It belongs to another woman.”

“What about the hair,” Mu Zi Yan then asked.
