Chu Yun looked at Roy's performance with a half-smile.

"I don't understand what the princess is saying."

Roy curled his lips and said, "Forget it, I know you won't admit it."

In other words, the Du family may have done this without telling her.

"Let's go and have a look, so that you can give up on that person."

-

The prefect's Yamen was crowded with people watching.

Roy was more anxious than Chu Yun, urging Chu Yun to go faster all the way, but Chu Yun took his time.

In the end, the Roy man couldn't sit still. Seeing that he was almost at the door, he didn't care about Chu Yun. He got off the carriage and squeezed in.

Zhou Zhurong and Widow Liu have already stated their respective attitudes.

Widow Liu is still rolling around.

It's a pity that after Zhou Zhurong provided evidence in one sentence, he was always suspected of being unreasonable.

"You said you've been on good terms with me for two years, and you've given me more than thirty taels of silver one after another. So we must have had a lot of contact in the past two years, right?" Zhou Zhurong asked Widow Liu coldly.

"Zhou Zhurong, do you want others to tell you what you have done yourself?

You have to pretend to be stupid in front of the prefect, am I not clear enough or something, is it necessary to ask more?"

"It seems that you have admitted it. Then let me ask you again, since we have been together for so long and often see each other, has anyone seen you before?

Huangye Village is adjacent to our Huashu Village, and there is only one road. Whether it’s my Zhou family or your Widow Liu’s family, there must be other people’s houses within half a mile around.

Moreover, the Zhao family in front of Widow Liu's house is the only way to your house. Has he seen me come to you late at night, or have you gone out to look for me?

If so, please ask them to explain it in front of the prefect and serve as your witnesses."

"Of course, you must have actually seen it before you can be a witness. If you fabricate something out of thin air to frame me, according to the law, you will be punished with thirty rods and sent to Nangang to break stones for three years."

"You...didn't you say that you couldn't let outsiders know when the time was right, so you always waited until everyone was asleep before meeting secretly? You even hid this from your mother."

Zhou Zhurong sneered, "I just came all the way here, and I heard the Zhao family say casually that their family keeps dogs, and they don't keep them on leashes at night. Even in the dead of night, when people are too sleepy to wake up, dogs can't

Can't wake up.

When a stranger passes by his door, the dog is not allowed to bite my trouser legs and run away?"

This was just a joke between the people of Huangye Village and the Zhao family, saying that such an adulterer was hanging out in front of your house at night.

Your big wolf dog usually looks quite ferocious, but why did you ignore it at such a critical moment and didn't catch anyone?

It would be exciting if I were caught live.

Only then did he find out that the Zhao family had been raising dogs for the past two years.

Widow Liu's face looked a little ugly, "How do I know how you solved it? Didn't you say you bought a few buns to kill the dog?"

Zhou Zhurong did not hold on to this point, "Let's talk about the physical evidence. You said I wanted to marry you as an equal wife. Do you have proof? There is a marriage certificate written by me."

"You started out with the idea of ​​freeloading and trying to deceive me. You didn't really want to marry me. How could you give me a marriage certificate?"

"If there is no marriage certificate, then there must be a token of love, or a personal item given to each other by you and me, right?

If you can identify someone without this, Widow Liu, you have married someone once, would you be so stupid?"

"Not to mention that you are an embroiderer yourself. If you are really so good to me as you said and even gave me the money you earned, will you not embroider a purse or something for me?"

Widow Liu was a little panicked.

His eyes quickly turned twice in the crowd, as if he was looking for someone.

At this time, Chu Yun had also squeezed in, and Roy easily pulled her to his side.

So Widow Liu's glance was directed in the direction of the two of them.

The people in Roy thought Widow Liu was looking for Chu Yun.

I felt even more contemptuous.

It seemed that it was not someone the Du family and his wife found, but her, a kind-hearted savior, who personally found him.

Also, so what if Zhou Zhurong has some skills? A businessman's daughter would probably faint from laughter when she heard the name of the Duke's Mansion.

It is normal for her to want to deal with Zhou Zhurong, a pauper, and pave the way for her future.

The prefect sat in front of the case, stroking his beard, and looked at Widow Liu with a fierce light in his eyes.

Raising his hand and knocking on the gavel, he said, "Quiet, Mr. Liu, I advise you to recruit from the truth. Do you know what the crime is of falsely accusing a scholar who has achieved fame?"

The prefect's shock seemed to hit Widow Liu in her heart, and she shrank her shoulders reflexively.

He hesitated and asked, "What...what crime?"

"The laws of the Qin Dynasty stipulate that anyone who falsely accuses others will be guilty of rebellion. Those who falsely accuse others will be punished by one level."

To sit back is to punish the false accuser with the same punishment as the falsely accused.

"If it is found out that it was you, Mr. Liu, who falsely accused Zhou Xiucai of having an affair with you and deliberately ruined his reputation, you will not only be stripped naked and beaten for eighty years, but you will also have to serve ten years in prison. You must think clearly."

Widow Liu suddenly raised her head, her eyes were frighteningly red, and she glanced at the prefect in a shivering manner.

He quickly lowered his head, his shoulders shaking non-stop.

People watching the theater around also felt that something was wrong.

"Why do I feel that something is wrong with Widow Liu? Wasn't she a good howler in the Zhou family before? Why is she so honest as soon as she comes here?"

"How can I still act like I'm in the village after seeing the prefect? ​​If it were me, I'd probably be so frightened that I can't even speak."

"I think it's not just that. Don't you think Widow Liu has a guilty conscience? It's not like she really framed Zhou Xiucai."

"No way, she is a widow and doesn't want to live anymore?"

"I don't know if the others are true or false, but Widow Liu's son is indeed very sick and is about to die. Maybe she wanted to extort a sum of money to treat her son's illness, but I didn't expect that it would end up here."

Listening to the buzzing in his ears, Roy couldn't help but glare at Chu Yun.

She is really sure that she will tell her the truth.

Chu Yun smiled at Roy with a raised eyebrow.

The Roy people interpreted it as a hint for her to take action quickly.

He hated Chu Yun even more.

However, the matter has reached this point, and the people in Roy know that the sensible thing to do is to quickly charge Zhou Zhurong with punishment.

Qin Mi didn't have much time to waste.

Qin Mi also knew this.

So the Roy man took out a seal engraved with auspicious cloud patterns directly from his sleeve without opening his mouth.

Pass it to Wang Tao behind you.

Use your eyes to signal him to the prefect above.

Wang Tao understood and disappeared into the crowd in an instant.

Widow Liu knelt in the hall, her shoulders shaking harder and harder, and she looked in the direction of Chu Yun and Roy more and more often.

Even the people who were watching saw it, and some people asked in a booing voice.
