After Ruan Yuzhu thought about it, it made sense to say this, and said, "Are you sure the murderer is Lu Xiaoxuan? If you made a mistake, wouldn't you let the real murderer go?"

In fact, if it is before time travel, killing is killing, even if it is extenuating, the sentence can only be light, and the "criminal" cannot be indulged because of this.But now we have traveled to ancient times, the county magistrate holds the power of "life and death", and if he wants to "follow private affairs", there will be no inspection agency to protest, at most only the guard system represented by Li Yunyan will intervene, so In the end, the key to this matter probably has to fall on Li Yunyan.

Yuan Run thought for a while, and then nodded affirmatively: "It must be - Yue Mei wants to kill him, and he must go to Lu Shengcai to discuss it, so there will be no situation where it is difficult to strangle anyone. Yue Mei and Lu Shengcai must have an affair, and the embroidery on that handkerchief must be for Lu Xiaoxuan."

Ruan Yuzhu said: "Is it arbitrary? Even if it is embroidered for Lu Xiaoxuan, it is just a small gift for the little girl next door. As for saying that she has an affair with Lu Shengcai?"

Yuan Rundao: "Even if you said it, but she is a widow. Would she just give away things? The other party is the daughter of a widower. Although this is not the Qi State where men are superior to women, Yue Mei was not recruited at the beginning. She is not a woman who is in charge of the family. Lord, so no matter what the world thinks of her or the law, there are more restrictions on her."

Ruan Yuzhu nodded: "You're right, it's still early, I'll leave quickly, and I can get home before you fall asleep."

Yuan Run smiled: "You go, I will wait for you - there is no ending, and I can't sleep!"

Ruan Yuzhu kissed her goodbye with a smile, then left the yamen and hurried to Yuemei's small restaurant.

There are still many people eating in the small restaurant, but Yue Mei has already calculated the accounts of the day in the small room. When she saw Ruan Yuzhu coming, she was startled, and then she smiled and said: "Master Ruan, why are you so busy?" Are you here? But you want to patronize? I will let the back kitchen be two experts."

Ruan Yuzhu shook her head, motioning her to open the side door behind the screen and go to the back.Yue Mei didn't know what she meant, but seeing Ruan Yuzhu's serious face, she didn't dare to ask more questions, so she led her behind.

Ruan Yuzhu still said: "It's still not good here, someone will come to borrow the hut and talk to you in your room."

Yue Mei's complexion changed slightly, but she didn't dare to refuse, so she nodded and took Ruan Yuzhu to her boudoir—Yue Mei is a widow, but the room is still tidied up like a girl who hasn't left the court, with bright colors, It's not like ordinary widows who are mainly plain-colored, and they are still incensed, and they can't smell the smell of the hut at all--this smell is actually the same as what they smelled in Lu Xiaoxuan's small room that day.

At that time, Ruan Yuzhu didn't care about the incense, but after smelling it now, she knew that the two families even used the same incense, so there might be some connection—if the three families lived near the hut, they bought the incense together Xiang, so why don't Wu Qingqing and Wu Xiubo have such things?

Ruan Yuzhu saw it, and felt that Yue Mei was indeed a caring person, unlike some ancient women who lived like a living dead after their husband died.

Thinking of this, Ruan Yuzhu sympathized with them even more.

Yue Mei saw that Ruan Yuzhu's face was also fluctuating, and her heart was jumping wildly, so she forced a smile and asked: "Master Ruan, what is the matter, you want to come to my room to tell."

Suddenly said: "What is embroidered on the square handkerchief you used to cover your nose in the morning?"

Yue Mei was stunned, and subconsciously reached into her sleeve, as if she wanted to take it out, but she didn't, but put her hand in the sleeve...

Seeing her like this, Ruan Yuzhu knew that there was indeed something wrong with the handkerchief, so she sighed: "Is it embroidered for Lu Xiaoxuan?"

Yue Mei stared blankly at Ruan Yuzhu, her expression changed again and again, and after a while she forced a smile and said, "What are you talking about!"

Ruan Yuzhu smiled: "Why are you so nervous? You are neighbors, and you should embroider a handkerchief as a gift for her, and it's your duty. It's no big deal if she doesn't accept it—does she object to your friendship with her father? That's why you didn't accept it?"

Yue Mei's complexion changed greatly: "No...no such thing...what...what kind of acquaintance..."

Ruan Yuzhu said: "It was Lu Xiaoxuan who did the murder, right? Lu Xiaoxuan's attitude towards you was originally bad. She didn't want her father to marry a widow with a life of her husband, but the last time I went to her house with you, she felt dependent on you." , This is because you have a common secret, and you are protecting her from the wind and rain, right?"

Yue Mei bit her lip, her face turned pale: "I...I don't know what you are talking about."

Ruan Yuzhu said: "You should understand—I'm not going around in circles anymore, and I don't intend to embarrass you—did Liu Bisheng blackmail you? Did you kill him to protect yourself? Specifically, I blackmailed Lu Xiaoxuan. Don't pursue it anymore, she is also a poor little girl, and I am also a woman, I can understand her pain, but you need to tell me the truth, so that I can find a way for you to escape this disaster once and for all."

Yue Mei looked at Ruan Yuzhu in surprise, Ruan Yuzhu said: "Okay, don't doubt anymore, I want to harm you, I will directly arrest you and go to the yamen, torture and serve, can you not recruit?"

Yue Mei bit her lip and looked at Ruan Yuzhu, but she still didn't speak, but it could be seen that she was engaged in a fierce ideological struggle, obviously she was also embarrassed about whether she should trust Ruan Yuzhu.

Ruan Yuzhu said helplessly: "If you don't tell me, Catcher Li may be coming to arrest you soon, and I won't be able to help you at that time."

After hearing this, Yue Mei thought of Li Yunyan's "prestige" in Yunlai, and finally said: "Okay, let me tell you! But, after you hear this, you must keep it from Big Brother Lu. He is impatient. If he knows, he will tell you." I don't know what will happen!"

Ruan Yuzhu nodded: "You talk first, I will consider it as appropriate."

Yue Mei walked to the side, poured a glass of water for herself and drank the cloud, collected herself, and then said to Ruan Yuzhu——Sure enough, it was basically the same as Yuan Run's guess, except that the murderer was Yue Mei, Not Lu Xiaoxuan.

"You know, Xiaoxuan's child is only 11 years old, and she can't kill someone even if she wants to. How could she strangle someone to death? I did it!" Yue Mei said firmly, "I'm so angry, Liu Bisheng I was so deceitful that I wanted Xiaoxuan to marry him, so I couldn't bear it anymore, so I took advantage of his unpreparedness and strangled him to death from behind!"

"The tool used to commit the crime? What did you use to strangle him? What about the thing?" Ruan Yuzhu said the first half of the sentence, but seeing that Yue Mei couldn't understand, she changed her words again.

Yue Mei said: "It's just a thin hemp rope, it has been thrown away, and I don't know where it went, maybe it was picked up by someone."

Ruan Yuzhu said in her heart that you are going to lie to ghosts!

Lu Xiaoxuan can't kill Liu Bisheng, so you can do it?Who is Liu Bisheng?He is an undercover agent of the killer organization, and his strength is far beyond the average tolerance!And it is even more impossible for him to get married. He is a killer, marrying a little girl?

So Yue Mei covered it up for Lu Xiaoxuan, and she sacrificed her own cover-but then again, if she really reported her death penalty, she could also retract her confession, because she was not the real murderer, maybe she was There are backhands...

But anyway, Yue Mei was willing to make such a big sacrifice and decision for a girl who was not her own daughter, which made Ruan Yuzhu look at her with admiration—maybe a widow could survive in ancient times without relying on a man. It's really much older than modern times. Such a woman is definitely not careless.

Ruan Yuzhu said: "I don't care whether what you said is true or not, but for the sake of Lu Xiaoxuan, a girl who is not yet sensible, I am willing to help you. Listen to what I have to say next—the one who killed Liu Bisheng was A tolerance named Lu Dingkai is also from our Yunlai yamen. Lu Dingkai killed him because he failed you and intended to kill you. Then Liu Bisheng came to save you, but was killed by Lu Dingkai. You will then I haven’t seen Lu Dingkai either, and I didn’t tell the truth because I was worried that Lu Dingkai’s return would be bad for you. Meng Xi said that he was away from the back door for a period of time at noon that day, so you said that you saw Lu Dingkai move Liu Bisheng’s body there. The rest can be less Just say less, I will come back later to take your statement, and you should think about it for yourself, whether you want to talk to others."

Ruan Yuzhu said it in one breath, and Yue Mei was taken aback when she heard it—she didn't know who Lu Dingkai was, but she heard that he was going to take the blame for her, so she couldn't believe it was true, until Ruan Yuzhu told She, Lu Dingkai is a spy sent by the Qi State, she just realized that this is a matter of death and no proof, so she is relieved, and she believes in Ruan Yuzhu's words even more, but in the end the case was not finalized, she still dare not relax, send away After Ruan Yuzhu, he asked Xiaoer to watch out at the door to see if anyone from the yamen was approaching, and then went to talk to Lu Xiaoxuan.

Lu Shengcai also knew Yue Mei's feelings for him, and seeing that Lu Xiaoxuan's attitude towards Yue Mei had eased recently, he didn't think about anything else, and felt happy about it.So when Yue Mei came to chat with her daughter at night, she didn't think too much about it, let alone eavesdropping on the two women's private conversations, so that Yue Mei could rest assured to tell Lu Xiaoxuan what Ruan Yuzhu said just now.

Ruan Yuzhu had already expected this to happen, so she didn't think about eavesdropping or peeking, but rushed to Li Yunyan's residence quickly after leaving Yue Mei's side.

Fortunately, Li Yunyan was still at home burning the lights and fighting at night, checking the household registration of residents in the city with the only two remaining subordinates.
