The more the butler said, the weirder both of them felt. This was especially true for Xiaoqing. Her intuition told her that this person was extremely important to the case, but as a local tycoon, she could easily send a 'suspect' to the court if she alerted them.

As a result, the two of them stayed in the Zhao manor cautiously for two days. On the third day, Xiaoqing found the maid that served Miss Zhao and chatted with her.

This maid was also extremely vigilant. However, she had to help Xiaoqing with her work and gifts. That night, when they were resting and chatting, the servant girl told Xiaoqing everything she knew.

So it turned out that this maid knew about the matter between her young mistress and Chang Yu from the beginning to end. Because that day, Miss Zhao's door board broke. Miss Zhao told her to first lean it against the wall, and then inform the housekeeper to find a carpenter to fix it.

However, Miss Zhao suddenly had a strange thought. She used that half door as a ladder and stepped on it to look at the scenery outside the courtyard.

At first, the servant girl thought that Miss Zhao only wanted to see the outside world so she didn't take it to heart. He even helped Miss hide the matter of the half door to her house.

Then, unexpectedly, there was an everjade at home. He shared a bed with Miss Zhao night after night. This must have been hard on the maidservants. Every time Chang Yu arrived, the servant girls would have to stand guard for them, afraid that someone would come and disturb them.

One night, however, the maidservant was too careless. She thought that no one in the house knew about this, so she left her post and returned to her room to rest.

That night, Lady Zhao, Miss Zhao's mother, brought a few maidservants to inspect the guest house. Several servants stood at the entrance of the guest house.

In the end, that night, for some reason, Chang Yu was not there and coincidentally escaped this calamity. But when Madame Zhao saw the half door, she also became more cautious. He knew that what his old master said to him wasn't all false.

In the following few days, due to the appearance of Madame Zhao, Miss Zhao did not dare to let Chang Yu come.

It was not until a few days ago that Miss Zhao, as per her agreement, picked up a white handkerchief and waved it towards the outside of the wall. Then, she threw the rope out of the wall. Not long after, he heard a sound coming from the other side of the wall.

Miss Zhao was full of anticipation for her lover's arrival. However, the person who had come was not her lover.

At this moment, Miss Zhao panicked, not knowing what to do. If there was a thief, he would be caught. But then again, how did that thief get in? He couldn't possibly say that he had used a rope to bring him in, right?

Just as Miss Zhao was feeling anxious, she heard a sound coming from the Moon Gate. At this moment, Steward Zhao's face was ashen. Several servants beside him were holding long torches and sticks in their hands.

With a command from Steward Zhao, he closed the Moon Gate. A few sounds could be heard, and then the sound of water could be heard.

At that time, the maidservant had just gone to the toilet, and upon returning, she secretly witnessed this scene, which frightened her so much that she quickly went back to her room to sleep. Since the maid wasn't there that night, she had escaped this calamity.

The next day, Xiaoqing told Zhang Long about her information. Zhang Long also told him that he had found out something similar to Xiaoqing. After that, the two of them sneaked out of the Zhao Mansion.

After leaving the Zhao residence, the two went straight to the yamen to report the situation to Luo Lingwei. After Luo Lingwei heard the two's report, she already understood in her heart. After saying that she understood, she ordered the two of them to rest.

After waiting for Xiaoqing and Zhang Long to rest for a while, Luo Lingwei also started her trial.

As Luo Lingwei gave the order, she sent out all of the local officials to surround Zhao Yuan's mansion. Then, a few servants came in and brought out Zhao Yuan and a bunch of servants from the Zhao Mansion.

After arriving at the hall, Luo Lingwei did not directly interrogate these people. Instead, she first took them all into custody and interrogated them one by one.

In front of him was the butler of the Zhao Family, Zhao Bao. At this moment, Zhao Bao was trembling in the court as if his soul had left his body.

Seeing that, Luo Lingwei slapped the wood: "Insolent servant! Your old master has already admitted to it, and you were the one who incited your young mistress to kill him! "

After the butler heard these words, he did not care about dignity. He was originally kneeling on the ground, but at this moment, he jumped three feet into the air and shouted at Luo Lingwei, "The Empress has wronged you! I followed the orders of the old master and went to find a few servants to do some work! This was my master's idea! "

A messenger on the side was secretly picking on Luo Lingwei's big brother, thinking that this esteemed wangfei was really too smart, cheating on him as soon as he came up, and even cheating on him.

Hearing this, Luo Lingwei nodded her head and said: "You can tell me everything from the beginning to the end. If you're right, I won't let you die. If you're even the slightest bit fake, I'll let you lose your life on the spot!"

When the butler heard that he still had a chance to live, he immediately told him everything he knew.

It turned out that he was in the garden with the old master that day playing with birds when he saw a hoodlum dressed as a hoodlum coming home. Zhao Bao recognized this person. It was Liu Er. He was a famous rascal in Peng County and no one wanted to talk to him.

However, Liu Er said that his young mistress had adultery with someone, and described the matter vividly, as if he was watching it happen on the spot. However, Master Zhao thought that if this matter were to spread, not only would his daughter lose all face, even the wealthiest person would be looked down by others. Old Master Zhao was forced into a corner, but he had no choice but to spend some money to settle the matter.

After that, he sent Madame Zhao to check on his daughter's room and found that there was something amiss. For the next few days, he sent people to spy on his mistress' room. Sure enough, a adulterer was caught one night.

Master Zhao saw that his daughter was indeed involved in adultery and killed both of them in one go. The man was knocked out by the servant with a stick, while Miss Zhao was strangled to death by the infuriated Master Zhao.

Just as Master Zhao was about to deal with the corpse, he realized that he had killed the wrong person. The one who died was Liu Er, the main culprit, Chang Yu!

Because digging out the mud at the bottom of the pond would dirty the stone slabs. In order to not leave any evidence, Master Zhao placed the broken half of the door next to the pond to use to hold the mud. After burying the corpse, he chopped this half of the door into a pile of firewood and set it on fire.

The next day, he went to the county magistrate to report that Steward Zhao was a rich person and Chang Yu was just a small commoner. Adding on to that, Steward Zhao only wanted to put Chang Yu to death so he ordered for money to be given to the yamen. As a result, Chang Yu died in vain!
