Our Mommy is the Best Investigator!

  Chapter 103 Please drink tea

The eldest princess Lin Luotong was so angry that her blood surged up, she squeezed Fuchen tightly and gritted her teeth bitterly, and said, "Okay, since you are so ignorant of flattery, and you insist on making a mess of both sides, I will help you, Hu Maoxi, tell me, Mrs. Chu!" What should I do?"

  The eyes of the three eldest princesses gathered together and fell on Hu Maoxi one after another.

  Hu Maoxi glanced tremblingly at Sun Wucai who was at the side, only to see him answering slowly after careful consideration:

   "Returning to your highnesses, the Chu family trespasses on the palace and temples, according to the law, they will be held accountable for 80 years."

   "Eighty sticks?"

  The three of them looked at each other in dismay for a while, and then showed a strange smile:

  The woman in front of her was so skinny that even with a staff of 80, she would probably be beaten to pieces, making her life impossible.

But before the smile on his face warmed up, Sun Wucai turned the subject again: "However, there are regulations in the county law, if the servants of the government enter other people's houses without permission and make great contributions, they will not damage property or hurt people's lives. You can avoid the punishment of flesh and blood, and you will be sent to the county prison for three days of reflection."

  This is also a law established to prevent people who are eager for merit from neglecting their private homes and harming innocent people in order to make meritorious deeds blindly.

After hearing this, Hu Maoxi no longer flinched, stood up immediately, and reported truthfully: "This case of the Shen family involves the royal palace. It was indeed a bit difficult to handle before, but it is about human life, and the lower officials dare not slack off. If it is necessary to pursue accountability, the subordinate officials have an unshirkable responsibility."

  Lin Jinshu listened for a long time, and also saw that the three aunts would not give up if they didn't give an explanation, so he immediately asked, "Hu Maoxi, since you want to investigate the case, now you can find out the whole story of the case?"

  Hu Maoxi respectfully replied: "As for the princess, the evidence of the case has been preliminarily grasped, and I just wait for the court to accept it."

   "Okay, since I and the elders are here, I will follow you back to the county office today to see how you handle this case."

  Unexpectedly, as soon as Lin Jinshu finished speaking, Lin Luochu insisted on demanding, "That's not acceptable. If you don't punish Chu first, my master, you will never want to take him away."

  Hu Maoxi said with a bitter face: "I'm afraid this won't work for the time being."

   "Why not?"

  Lin Luochu stared.

  Hu Maoxi frowned and smiled: "Miss Chu is now the litigator for the convict Shen Yang and Dalang Wei, and she has to sue for them. Only after the case is concluded can Mistress Chu be convicted."

"Can"

Lin Luochu was unwilling to argue again, but before she could speak, she was stopped by the Eldest Princess Lin Luotong: "Since that's the case, then I will go with you, Ben Gong and the two sisters, I also want to see How did this Lady Chu appeal for the sinner?"

  She didn't believe that Mrs. Han dared to bite her uncle in front of her.

   "Second elders please, princesses please."

  Hu Maoxi obediently led everyone out of the temple and down the mountain, and then ordered people to go to Shen's house to invite Mrs. Han into the hall.

  Chu Nanzhi looked at the strife that had cooled down, pinched the hook kiss flower in her arms thankfully, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, and pulled Xiaofen to leave Nanhua Temple with the crowd.

It was the afternoon of the scorching sun, but Luyangang county government ushered in a rare bright moment. There were many soldiers in the front street of the government government office for several miles, and the solemn and majestic majesty frightened passers-by. Watching, watching from afar, he hurriedly made a detour.

In the courtroom, Hu Maoxi was sitting directly above, and the county magistrate and the chief secretary were standing beside him. They looked at Lao Changlao Nie and Princess Jinshu who were sitting upright in the lower left, and then at the three on the right with their cold faces facing the sky. The eldest princess, all of them were full of fear, their expressions were extremely stiff, and they couldn't even breathe.

  Chu Nanzhi calmly watched Shen Yang and Wei Ziqing who were kneeling in the courtroom, thinking that they would be able to avenge their grievances soon, she couldn't help feeling a little excited.

  She calmly took out the hook kiss flowers from her bosom for people to wash, and then asked people to bring up a table, prepared two tea bowls and boiling water, and made two bowls of tea first.

  Just glanced at Priest Tanhua who was standing beside the eldest princess, she suddenly had some new ideas.

  This person looked relaxed at this time, without any fear at all. He was afraid that Han family would not dare to confess him. This guy was so guilty and eager to destroy the evidence before, it is impossible to put aside his involvement in this case.

  She looked around the hall, fixed her eyes on Hu Maoxi, and said solemnly: "This Tanhua Taoist priest is now a suspect in this case, please let him avoid it first."

Hu Maoxi nodded and nodded, also worried that Taoist Tanhua and the Han family would collude, and was about to speak, when Princess Dachang sternly reprimanded him: "No, don't let the uncle here, is it just because of the woman from the Shen family to accuse him? ?”

   "There are three eldest princesses here, so how can the Han family frame him?"

Chu Nanzhi argued with reason, then glanced meaningfully at the three elder princesses, then calmly looked at Lin Jinshu and the second elder on the left, with a smile on his face, "The second elder and all the princesses are listening to the case today. In order for the case to proceed smoothly, the woman dares to ask you to listen quietly, and if there is any discrepancy in the woman's words and deeds, it will not be too late to correct it afterwards."

  These words are expressing Hu Maoxi's heart. He can't see that the three eldest princesses are here to find trouble, but they are suffering and can't tell, but they are bored in their hearts.

  After hearing this, Mr. Nie and Mr. Chang immediately stated: "Mr. Chu, you don't have to worry about others, and follow your own ideas."

Lin Jinshu also understood the meaning of her words, his eyes flashed, he pulled out the shining sword from the sheath decisively with one hand, poked it at the front of the hall, and said solemnly: "This sword is bestowed by Your Majesty. Slaying the stupid at the top, and beheading the people at the bottom, Chu, you and the county magistrate can settle the case with peace of mind, the sword in this palace's hand only recognizes reason and not people."

  The three eldest princesses turned pale with fright when they heard the words, and they didn't dare to say another word when they saw the cold sword's edge.

Watching Taoist Tan Hua being taken out, the pain in the hearts of several people looking at each other is beyond words: The Shen family's mistress doesn't know the sisters, and this Chu family came out with ulterior motives, how can they deter them again? Han's?

   While still hesitating, she saw that Mrs. Han led a group of members of the Shen family into the mansion.

  Because the yamen servant sent by Hu Maoxi did not have the arrest document, the woman still had a carefree and comfortable posture, and luckily thought that she was only here to listen to the case.

  Chu Nanzhi quietly glanced at Shen Yunqing and Shen Erlang who were beside her, but besides the two children, she was followed by a noble woman in a blouse, presumably the second wife of the Shen family.

Not allowing her to speak first, when Han Shi saw Shen Yang who was kneeling on the ground in ragged clothes, she hurriedly rushed over crying, threw herself on the ground and helped Shen Yang, crying hoarsely: "Sister, my poor sister, How did you get tortured like this?"

   "Sister, don't be sad, Mrs. Chu has promised to avenge her sister, and she will be fine soon."

  Shen Yang comforted Han with a gentle face, but seeing the thin Shen Yunqing, she couldn't help but shed tears.

  Chu Nanzhi picked up the scented tea she had brewed, and patiently watched the pair of sisters exchanging greetings. After the two of them calmed down, under the watchful eyes of everyone, she suddenly strode towards Mrs. Han, and said attentively and concernedly:

   "Ms. Lao Han came here after a long journey. The weather is dry and everything is dry. I have prepared a cup of tea for you. I also ask Mrs. Han to drink the tea first before answering."
