I became the villain's deceased wife

"Why is there no one on this street?"

At this time, on the way to the inn with Song Tian, ​​Yun Haichao looked at the empty streets with great curiosity.

Song Tian let out a breath.

"The prefect has cleared the streets along the way to take the imperial envoy to Qinglian Lake to admire the lotus, for fear that the common people would be an eyesore to you!"

As an imperial envoy, Yun Haichao didn't know whether he could accept this fact or not.

Yun Haichao just sneered:

"Oh, now I know why we can only hear singing and dancing in the capital."

Because no local official was willing to let the imperial envoys see their true side.

The imperial envoys could only tell the emperor that the country was at peace and the country was prosperous.

"Aren't you going to state your grievances to this official?

Tell me about the difficulties you encountered?"

Yun Haichao was holding his official sword, and he really looked like an official escorting a prisoner.

Song Tian was still a little confused:

"How did Lord Yun know that I had a grievance to appeal?"

It seemed like he had noticed her since the first time he entered the lobby.

The sea of ​​clouds remains unchanged:

“After all, I worked in the Dali Temple for a few years and solved countless major and strange cases.

If you can't even understand this, then your title is in vain!"

Although Song Tian didn't quite believe it, he had no other explanation.

Just listen to it for now.

"My husband was wrongly accused of theft and murder.

I have nowhere to turn to, and I heard that Lord Yun is an upright and honest official, so I came to try my luck..."

Now it seems that she is quite lucky.

While talking about the case, the two walked to the inn where they were staying.

Aunt Wen has already taken the medicine prescribed by the doctor invited by the waiter.

The fever has gone away and I feel much more energetic.

Just when I was thinking about going out to look for Song Tian, ​​I saw her coming back with an official!

"Girl Tian, ​​have you finished your work?"

She walked down the stairs and met Yun Haichao's sharp eyes:

"Who is this official...?"

He doesn't look like an ordinary yamen runner.

The whole demeanor of him makes him look like a high-ranking official who has been in office for a long time.

"Oh, this is..."

Just as Song Tian was about to introduce them, Yun Haichao interrupted her:

"I am a servant of Lord Yun, sent to resolve Lady Song's grievances."

Song Tian nodded:

"Ah."

She was just being reckless, and the imperial envoy followed her back to the inn.

This matter really cannot be discussed casually outside.

Aunt Wen's face was full of surprise:

"Really? Then my son-in-law is saved!"

Song Tian nodded again:

“算是… …吧。”

Yun Haichao just said that judging a case requires both witnesses and physical evidence.

There is no such thing as innocent until proven guilty in this era. If no one can prove that Xie Yunzhe did not do this, he will be powerless even if he goes there.

Of course, Yun Haichao is an expert in investigating cases. If he is allowed to take action, he will definitely be able to find out the truth.

The prerequisite is that his identity as imperial envoy cannot be revealed.

Song Tian agreed to all of them.

As long as Xie Yunzhe can be saved, these details will not be a problem.

Yun Haichao said that he had something else to do and could not leave immediately to go back to Fenglin County with her.

Song Tian also agreed.

After all, you are asking someone to do something for you.

Besides, Aunt Wen was still sick, and they had planned to return the next day.

Yun Haichao unreservedly asked Song Tian to buy him a set of civilian clothes and was about to go out.

Song Tian was afraid that he would never come back, so she hurried to catch up with him.

Yun Haichao did not refuse, but asked Song Tian to bring enough silver.

"Anyway, Madam Song went out this time just to look for me, so she must have prepared a lot of money to make arrangements.

Now it is well put to good use!"

Seeing Song Tian holding her purse with an unwilling look, Yun Haichao smiled as if he deserved a beating.

Song Tian thought about it carefully and it seemed to be true.

I had no choice but to follow him and went out reluctantly.

But it took Song Tian a long time to realize that this person went out for nothing important.

We ate and drank along the way, and chatted with vendors and shop owners when we met them.

How much is the price?

The price fluctuations in the past two years.

What are the policies of the government? Have they caused any trouble to the people... and so on.

He really just came here to understand the people's sentiments.

"Instead of coming out and asking them tirelessly, why not just come and ask me directly!"

At dinner, Song Tian ordered two bowls of wontons and three side dishes at a street wonton stall, and sat down to eat with Yun Haichao.

"Oh?

"What do you think, Madam Song?"

Yun Haichao seemed to be listening attentively.

Song Tian cleared his throat and said solemnly:

"This is the capital of Zhuo Lin Prefecture, under the jurisdiction of the prefect.

The people who can make a living here all have some family background, and most of them live a good life.

In addition, the imperial court would send imperial envoys to inspect every few years, so neither officials nor gentry dared to go too far.

But if you go to the towns and villages down there, the situation will be very different..."

Song Tian briefly described some of the people's livelihood she had seen since she traveled through time.

Of course, this also includes the Huang family's monopoly on the pharmaceutical market and oppression of practitioners.

This also includes the cases like Xiangming Pavilion and Qiuchan Bookstore, which relied on the powerful people in the capital to frame innocent people at will...

Yun Haichao listened quietly.

He nodded thoughtfully from time to time.

“So your husband’s case looks like theft and murder.

Is it actually a struggle between the powerful and the wealthy? "

The country squire surnamed Huang and the boss behind Zhu Kang are evenly matched in power.

That's why the matter has been at a stalemate.

Song Tian nodded:

"That's true."

Fortunately, there were two forces fighting each other, otherwise she would have no chance to breathe.

Yun Haichao seemed to be thinking:

"What is your husband's identity?"

Why would a mere commoner cause confrontation between two major forces?

Song Tian sighed, people in high positions really have different focuses.

"My father-in-law's name is Xie Bolan. I heard that he used to be an official in Beijing and was promoted to the sixth rank.

But because he was too upright, he offended people and was sentenced to death by beheading..."

Song Tian took a breath.

This is what she heard from Xie Yunzhe, and she has no idea what the real situation is.

"Xie Bolan?"

Yun Haichao was stunned for a moment.

"I've heard something about it."

He lowered his head and took a bite of wonton, looking thoughtful.

"I had just entered the government at that time, and I had never handled this case before..."

He pondered for a moment.

“Speaking of which, this Lord Xie is well-known in the official circles of the capital and is very respected. I used him as my role model when I was a child!

But I didn’t expect that he would be dismissed as soon as I entered the government, and the reason was still - corruption!"

He sighed, as if mourning for his idol.

Song Tian didn't interrupt.

She has no idea of ​​the facts and has no way to comment.

But Yun Haichao is in the officialdom, so he should have his own judgment on this matter.

Just as she was thinking, Yun Haichao suddenly turned around and looked at her:

“You mean, this matter was caused by the grudges of Master Xie?

But he has already been sentenced to death by beheading!

Who would hate him so much that he wouldn't even spare his own son?"

Why does this matter seem more and more strange the more I listen to it?

Song Tian didn't know, so she shook her head truthfully:

"I don't know who it is, but the country gentleman Huang Jiadong must know."

Yun Haichao tapped the table with a porcelain spoon, thinking:

"The surname is Huang!"

If I remember correctly, the brother-in-law of Grand Tutor Zhang seems to have this surname -
