The passerby's mouth was broken. Su Zhi also heard some sounds.

The wind had not been good recently, but now it was getting worse.

She could not help but sigh and gloomily walked towards the yamen.

When he arrived at the county magistrate court, he discovered that there were already many people surrounding the door. They were whispering and looking at Su Zhi with a different expression, as if she really was the unforgivable murderer.

"My lord, the suspect Su Zhi is here!"

The fat and chubby Zhixian wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, then retracted his hand out of politeness.

This was really hard to do. Everyone knew that this woman was General Xiao's woman. She had already returned to the capital. How could he dare to be moving if he didn't even look at her?

However, if he did not act in a proper manner, the onlookers would start gossiping. The crux of the issue was that he still had a ancestor that was hard to serve.

Yu Zhi County looked at the girl at the side and his neck shrunk. He could only muster up his courage and clear his throat, "Su Zhi! "Do you know this woman on the ground?"

Before she could enter the door, Su Zhi saw An Yang sitting upright on a wooden chair. At this moment, she was helplessly staring at the well-maintained, soft pancreas. Out of the corner of her eyes, she was glancing at the entrance, her eyes filled with uncontrollable joy and schadenfreude.

The constable lifted the white cloth from the corpse.

Su Zhi glanced at the ground, and quickly recognized that the person was indeed the Zhou family.

She appeared to have been dead for a while, her face pale, her lips dark purple, her body stiff.

"Yes, I know him." She quickly averted her eyes and could not bear to look again.

An Yang covered his nose in disgust and sneered, "Su Zhi, did you kill this woman? Just to take away their children, to look down on the laws and to kill them! "

Su Zhi looked at her, neither servile nor overbearing, "Princess, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. When did you see me harm anyone? "Is there any evidence?"

An Yang gave an exaggerated laugh. "Isn't that simple?" Many people know about the lawsuit that happened a few days ago. You stole their child, yet not only did your family not return the favor, they even had thoughts of killing them! "

"Princess, how is this logic formed? Another day, you should go and sit at the Flower ManLou to see how he speaks, so that no one will be able to laugh or cry at what he says. "

An Yang's face darkened. He slapped his chair and stood up. "Don't deny it. It was you who killed him because you didn't want to return his child!"

Su Zhi shook her head helplessly and said, "Let me think with you for a moment before you think about whether you're right or not. First, just like you said yourself, many people know about this lawsuit. If I kill someone at this time, wouldn't I be throwing dirty water on myself? Secondly, even if I want to kill someone, I will think of a way to throw away the corpse in the wilderness and not let you find a reason to commit the crime. No matter how weak he was, he would at least bury him, right? "Third, it's not that I haven't returned the child to her, it's just that she can't raise the child well."

"Then, perhaps you killed someone and didn't have the time to destroy their corpse?"

Su Zhi looked at her as if she were looking at an idiot. "If that's the case, I wouldn't have killed her so recklessly and brought a lawsuit on myself!"

The two of them argued with each other.

Kaixian, who sat on the seat of honor, did not know how to decide.

He only felt sorry for himself.

He hadn't held this position for long, so why was there so much trouble? Just the person he shouldn't offend had come several times.

Xiao Gan, who didn't know Su Zhi before, thought she was a good businessman.

He didn't expect that the other party would have his back against the Xiao family, Prince Yongning's Mansion, and Old mister Liu's savior. Each of them was more difficult to deal with than the other!

"What doesn't Yu Zhi County want to say?"

An Yang was infuriated, and pointed the spearhead at him.

"Eh, this, this …"

Just the death of an unrelated country woman. Yu Zhi County wasn't concerned about this matter to begin with. It was An Yang who had come early in the morning to report this matter. How could he afford to provoke this aunt? He could only bite the bullet and accept the case.

The moment he found out that it was Su Zhi again, Yu Zhi County had the urge to return to his hometown to farm.

"I wonder what evidence Lady Su has?"

Su Zhi stood on the spot and replied shamelessly, "Then, Sir, do you have any proof that I was the one who killed them?"

Zhixian scratched his head, feeling troubled.

Princess Anyang had only asked him to open the hall, but he had no other evidence to provide. It wouldn't be good for him to solve this case.

An Yang sneered, "Do you even need evidence? Isn't it obvious? "

"Little princess, you have to be responsible for your words. You accuse me of being the murderer, but you don't have any evidence, so how can I convince you? Just based on your words alone, what is there for you to do? "

Su Zhi turned her face away and begged Yu Zhi County calmly, "Sir, please pass a coroner!"

Yu Zhi County waved his hand and allowed the coroner to come to the hall.

Even though Xuan City was not the capital, it was still within the scope of the Imperial City. Beneath the feet of the Emperor, there were rarely any strange people who died like this.

Zhi County was puzzled as well. How did this person disappear so easily? Seeing Su Zhi's benevolent look, there was no way she was a murderer, she could only blame her for being unlucky, as anything could be related to her.

The coroner examined his body and then stood up to reply, "Sir, the lungs and lungs of the deceased had a foul smell and their throat was swollen and rotten. They must have been poisoned to death."

Yu Zhi County was very surprised, "Huh?" "What kind of poison is this? It's actually so powerful."

The coroner thought for a moment. "This poison …" It's called Man Tuo, from the Western Regions. "

Su Zhi sighed, she had already understood that the Zhou family had been deliberately killed by someone to blame her.

That poison was from the Western Regions. A few days ago, it was those few Hu merchants that had arrested her.

He really couldn't stay still for even a moment. He didn't know who was it that was against her, trying to kill her with all their might.

Zhixian rubbed his chin and thought for a moment. Then he tried asking, "Lady Su, are you cooperating with the Hu merchants?"

She nodded and did not deny it.

"Now the truth is revealed, you're the one who killed them!" An Yang clapped his hands, pointed at Su Zhi, and said, "Sir, quickly capture her and torture her, forcing her to tell us the truth!"

Su Zhi replied indifferently, "I said, I didn't kill the person. You have no evidence, so you can't detain me!"

"Yu Zhixian, this princess orders you to arrest that person and bring him to justice immediately!"

Since he was in a dilemma, he didn't dare to make the decision rashly.

An Yang was furious, "Didn't you hear that? This princess orders you! "

Just as he was in a dilemma, the Grand Master walked up and whispered something in his ear.

Yu Zhi County was stunned for a moment, then his mind was set on swaying left and right.

"Since Lady Su is really plotting against someone's life, it's better to keep her in custody. Someone, bring her down and wait for her orders!"

Su Zhi could not believe her ears. In just a blink of an eye, the prefecture lord's attitude took a complete turn. Someone behind him ordered him to do so, but that person was not An Yang.

The constable quickly came over to take her away. An Yang happily smiled, and squinted his eyes. He was very satisfied with her appearance of being humiliated.

She didn't believe that if she couldn't get such a despicable woman, she would only be able to live by his side, while she herself didn't have much ability.

"Use the punishment for this princess. You must make her speak the truth!"

Yu Zhi County couldn't believe it when they heard the order to be put in jail was issued by the Zhao Family.

Could it be that Lord Zhao and General Xiao had already fallen out?

"Wait!"

A loud shout stopped the constables who were rushing forward.

The crowd looked towards the entrance and saw a group of beautiful maidservants barging in.

He knew that woman, Yu Zhi County, especially that Aunt Xu beside her, who had come to meet him a few days ago.

Things had gotten out of hand! Kaixian moans incessantly, the gods fight, the imps suffer.

"So it's the Marquis' Madam, sorry for the inconvenience!"

Jiang Si stared coldly at the fat Zhixian, who was lowering his body. Her beautiful eyes turned around and landed on Su Zhi.

"You can't touch this woman."

An Yang suddenly stood up, unwilling to let the matter go, "Madame Jiang, the Marquis' Mansion is famous for not meddling in other people's business! "What, you want to cover up this murderer today?"

Jiang Yao snorted lightly and ignored An Yang, "I'll ask Madame Su to come with me."

Yu Zhi County didn't know how to react.

He was General Xiao's man to begin with, so he could not afford to offend him. His immediate superior also wanted him in prison, but now he had another Madam Hou.

In this dilemma, Zhixian ignored it and pretended not to hear anything.

Although Su Zhi didn't know what Jiang Hao was here for, she wouldn't be locked up in the prison if she left with him now.

She nodded slightly and followed him.

An Yang furiously slapped away the teapot on the table and viciously glared at the woman as she left. The bitterness in his eyes grew even stronger.

"Thank you Madam for your help."

After exiting the yamen, Su Zhi finally opened her mouth to express her gratitude.

Jiang Si didn't reply and climbed into the carriage.

"Lady Su, please!"

Xu Yue pushed her into the carriage, his expression solemn and irrefutable.

Su Zhi was a bit against it, but at least she had saved her.

She lifted her skirt and followed him into the carriage.

"Where would you like me to go?"

Jiang Yao closed his eyes and said nothing.

The carriage sped on, leaving the yakuza behind.

Was it her imagination? Why did she see that Jiang Si was sobbing? Even though his eyes were closed, his body couldn't stop trembling.

"Madam, are you alright?"

After a long while, Jiang Yao calmed himself down and opened his eyes. His eyes were slightly red as he looked at Su Zhi. He seemed to want to say something, but hesitated.

"Su Qiuyi, it's been six years. I hope you've been well."
