Mrs. Liu looked at Mr. Liu, who was listening, and said with a sneer, "Mama's intentions are good, but I know that Brother Shuo and I are not worth mentioning in the master's heart. We are a half-way couple, and we don't have much affection at all. As for brother Shuo, he has been dead for five years. I am afraid that the master has forgotten what he looks like. Since you were able to ignore his grievances for the eldest daughter and let him die in vain, you will naturally obey me for the benefit of the family. My aunt wanted to remove his grave."

Mr. Liu shook his lips, and finally pursed his lips tightly and did not speak.

Liu Shuo died young. According to the custom, he cannot enter the ancestral grave, and he has no children, which means that he cannot enjoy the incense of future generations.

Now that his parents are still alive, Mrs. Liu will visit his tomb every Qingming Festival and offer incense. When Mrs. Liu leaves, who else in the Liu clan will remember him?

That's why Mrs. Liu insisted on burying Liu Shuo near Liu's ancestral grave. She was very kind to the two concubines and their sons. In the capital, she was the only aunt like her.

She doesn't care about Master Liu, so she won't embarrass the concubines, and she doesn't care about the property of the Liu family, so she won't suppress the concubine. In order for the concubine to remember to visit their younger brother's grave in the future, she will try her best to protect them in front of Master Liu. , sell their favors.

Her only wish is that when the concubine and his descendants go to sweep the grave, they can remove the grass on his grave, offer him a handful of incense, and burn some paper money.

But Mrs. Huang will destroy even this obsession. If Liu Shuo's grave is removed from the vicinity of the ancestral grave, even if she has left enough favors, the bastards will still remember it, but their descendants will still remember it?

The grave is too far away, as long as one person is lazy for a year and doesn't go there, then no one will remember her son, and no one will visit his grave and offer incense.

Han people value the things behind them no less than the glory and wealth in front of them. And the Liu family is just a side branch of the Liu family, and Mr. Liu can barely speak. If Mrs. Huang is really capable of persuading Liu's relatives, Liu Shuo's grave must be moved, and it has to be moved far away.

Digging graves is equivalent to killing parents. How could Mrs. Liu not hate it?

What's more, their grievances have accumulated for more than ten years. Mrs. Liu is a concubine, and her life has been difficult since she was a child, but she has a weak personality, and no matter how sad she is, she is not short of food and clothing, so she doesn't take it seriously.

When she was twelve years old, her father made a marriage for her. The man's family was not as good as theirs, but he was the only son in the family. The family is rich, but it will definitely be more comfortable.

She was completely satisfied with this marriage. Her father passed away just after making a marriage arrangement for her, and after that, she kept mourning for three years.

She thought she would be able to get married after she became a filial piety, but she just became a filial piety, and her eldest sister who had already married was seriously ill and was about to die. In order to take care of the youngest daughter, she wanted to marry Huang's daughter from the family into Liu The family takes care of her daughter for her.

Mrs. Liu never thought she would be that person because she was already engaged. But things are so absurd.

The eldest sister took a fancy to her character, and Master Liu also took a fancy to her appearance, and Mrs. Huang felt sorry for her daughter, and felt that she could control the concubine, so she made the decision.

The marriage was arranged by her eldest brother, Huang Qin. Mrs. Liu had committed suicide before, and after being rescued, Huang Qin told her that even if she died, her body would enter the Liu family.

And her fiancé felt deeply humiliated, and was unwilling to work hard for their marriage. In the end, she was the only one struggling.

She had no other choice but to accept her fate.

But she recognized it once, and recognized it again when her son died. Would she have to recognize it again this third time?

If she can't even keep her son's cemetery, what's the point of her retreating?

Mrs. Liu's heart was on fire, but her mind became more and more calm. Her first thought was to kill Mrs. Huang, but after seeing Mrs. Huang, she felt it was worthless.

She is almost sixty years old, how many more years can she live?

Killing her is nothing but the loss of an old lady in the Huang family, and she is gone. No matter how difficult it is to avenge, she may not be able to keep her son's grave in the end.

After all the calculations, the biggest loss to the Huang family is the head of the family, Huang Qin. And he was the one she hated.

Mrs. Liu wanted to kill Mr. Huang. It might be difficult at other times, but today is the Dragon Boat Festival, and she made a temporary decision. Huang Qin didn't have any defense against her. As long as she is stable enough, she believes that she can do it.

So Mrs. Liu left before the banquet under the pretext of being uncomfortable. The only weapons she could find were kitchen knives and scissors. It was unrealistic to hide the kitchen knife in her sleeve, and the target was too big, so she found a pair of sharp scissors.

Mrs. Liu is most familiar with scissors, and she knows how to use them to be the sharpest and most dangerous.

During the Dragon Boat Festival, there is a custom for women to return to their natal homes, so most of the people who came to the Huang family today were married aunts and their families, and a few were business partners who were very close to the Huang family.

Men and women were separated at the banquet, but no one thought it was wrong when Mrs. Liu walked around behind the screen with a wine glass to respect Huang Qin.

Firstly, they are siblings, secondly, Mrs. Liu is married, and thirdly, her husband, Mr. Liu, is sitting at the banquet.

Those who were able to attend the Huang's family's festival banquet were all very close or very close to them. They heard some rumors and knew that Mrs. Liu and her natal family had a very unpleasant quarrel some time ago.

Seeing that she came out with a wine glass, she thought that they wanted to drink away their grievances, so they just watched from the corner of their eyes and didn't particularly care.

Even Mr. Huang only thought that the concubine sister was subdued. Thinking of what his brother-in-law said that she had friendship with Qin Ge's hometown now, he had no intention of fighting against her. Therefore, before Mrs. Liu came to the front, Mr. Huang stood up to greet her with a glass of wine. .

Mrs. Liu and her eldest brother are twenty-two years apart. Except for the confrontation eleven years ago, they rarely see each other. Huang Qin is not familiar with Mrs. Liu. In his impression, this concubine is timid and weak. Soft and beautiful.

But Mrs. Liu knew him very well. She had always regarded him as an enemy. Looking at him at close range, Mrs. Liu's heart trembled slightly, but her left hand holding the wine glass was steady. She walked directly to Huang Qin. In the first three steps, he raised his wine glass and said, "Brother, this glass of wine is toast to you. Don't worry, we will see each other again soon, and then we will talk about brother and sister again."

Huang Qin was slightly stunned while holding the wine, "What?"

Mrs. Liu had already pounced on him, stabbing him in the heart with her right hand that was holding the scissors tightly, pulling it out and then piercing it in again...

Huang Qin's eyes widened in disbelief, "You..."

When the pain hit, Huang Qin screamed, but he couldn't help but lay down on the ground, shaking his lips, unable to speak.

But Mrs. Liu didn't want to let him go. She grabbed the scissors tightly with both hands and stabbed him hard in the chest. She was afraid that he would not die.

Only then did the guest turn pale with shock, and stepped back quickly. After the shock, the servants timidly rushed forward to stop her.

Things were developing so fast that the people present couldn't recover at all.

Mrs. Liu turned her back to them, and they only saw her toast to Mr. Huang, say a few words, and then she threw herself into Mr. Huang's arms as if falling, but the movement of her right hand was a bit strange, as if she was trying to push Huang away Master, but his left hand held Master Huang firmly.

But they didn't expect that Mrs. Liu would kill in public, and she was so confident that she didn't dare to stop after Master Huang fell.

How big a hatred is this?

Now Mrs. Liu is speaking in class, from eleven years ago to the present, including the truth about her son's murder accidentally discovered in Lan's house last month, and the reason for her murder today.

The audience's perception of her became more and more complicated. As she said, she retreated again and again. At this point, there was no way to retreat, so why did she retreat?

During this period, the three families of Liu, Lan and Huang kept trying to interrupt the interrogation, and some officials even put pressure on Jing Zhaoyin to stop the interrogation and Mrs. Liu to stop the narration, but Jing Zhaoyin ignored them all with a sullen face and directly postponed the trial , Let Mrs. Liu finish the story in one breath.

Jing Zhaoyin could tell whether the other party was lying or telling the truth, which made him even more annoyed.

The matter should not have been like this, but it turned into today's catastrophe because the power of the clan is superior to the judiciary.

Jing Zhaoyin thinks this is the cause of Liu and Huang's family, and they have suffered a lot. But he is a parent official in a mansion, and this mansion is still the capital, so he can't be willful. What he wants to do is to educate the people and reduce the crime rate.

Jing Zhaoyin took a deep breath, and instead of looking at the ugly faces of Liu Lan and Huang's family, he said directly: "Come here, temporarily put Liu and Huang's family in the sky prison and keep them under strict supervision."

He took another red sign and said with a sullen face, "Temporarily arrest Lan Liu and bring him to justice, and thoroughly investigate the cause of Liu Shuo's death."

He took another red sign, "Xuan Huangyan went to court to collect evidence, thinking of his age, he could be sympathetic, and asked Fang Wenshu in person."

Mrs. Liu's confession is not enough to settle the case. Evidence has to be collected. For example, does Mrs. Huang really want to bribe monks and nuns to lure members of the Liu clan to move out of Liu Shuo's grave?

Another example is whether Lan Liu really killed Liu Shuo?

These have to be verified one by one, and this time can be long or short, it is not uncommon for the elders to delay for a year or two, and for the short ones, maybe three or two days to get the evidence to finalize the case.

Before that, the case can be reversed, and people may die. From this moment on, the game has just begun.

Thinking of the note that was sent to him just now, Jing Zhaoyin's expression darkened. He didn't expect that Liu Lanhuang's family could invite so many people to intercede for them.

Being able to be a parent official in the capital, where the rich and powerful are everywhere, and the royal relatives are as numerous as dogs, Jing Zhaoyin is certainly not an unknown person, let alone incompetent, but at this time there is no reason to set up so many enemies and encounter so many obstacles. do not like.

And then there's the concern about the case.

Liu Huang's murder was already a certainty, but Lan Liu's murder of Liu Shuo was too long ago, and it was too difficult to find evidence.

There are also Liu, Lanhuang and Huang's family to help clean up. I'm afraid he will disappoint Liu and Huang in the end, and he can't apologize for her and her son Liu Shuo.

Jing Zhaoyin sighed slightly, and his master ran in quickly from outside, "My lord, there are servants from the palace."

Jing Zhaoyin was startled, his first thought was, what happened to the capital again?
