MTL - Our Mommy is the Best Investigator!-Chapter 798 unspeakable trouble
Chapter 798 There is suffering
Chu Nanzhi gently waved to the door: "Come on, come in."
Hearing the call from inside, the two little guys poked their heads out again, but when they saw Captain Tong in the crowd, they immediately shrank back.
County Lieutenant Tong rushed out of the door impatiently, brought the two little guys in, and said angrily: "The empress asked you to come in, but you are still hiding outside the door sneakily, what a shame."
The two children were so frightened that they burst into tears immediately.
"Lieutenant Tong, as a magistrate of this county, why are you so rude to children?"
Jen He glared at him angrily, leaned down quickly, and said while comforting the two little guys: "Today the Empress personally came to mourn your mother, you don't have to be afraid, if you have anything to say, you can tell her."
The two little guys looked up at Chu Nanzhi with tears in their eyes, but they were stopped by Chen Laosan: "The dog is timid and unintentionally ran into the Queen and all the adults, please forgive me, Caomin sent them back. "
Seeing that he was about to leave with the two young children, Zhan He stopped him immediately: "Chen Laosan, today I specially invited the queen to be the master for you. If you miss this opportunity, your wife and the newly born baby The child is really about to be wronged."
"Magistrate Zhan, what do you mean when you repeatedly push people hard?"
Gu Lei couldn't bear this guy anymore, he questioned sharply, then turned to look at Chen Laosan, and shouted loudly: "Chen Sanlang, I will ask you again, your wife really died of dystocia?"
Chen Laosan looked at everyone in a daze, gritted his teeth but slowly lowered his head.
Gu Lei felt deeply depressed, and said again: "Is it possible that the old man is still disturbing the souls of the dead, please do it before opening the coffin for an autopsy?"
"Old Gu."
Chen Laosan cried out in pain, and was about to answer, but heard a burst of dense footsteps coming from outside the door.
Everyone looked for the prestige, and saw that it was Tan Qing, the governor of the state capital, and Zhang Xuan, the governor of the state, leading some state servants into the courtyard.
Seeing Chu Nanzhi's figure, Tan Qing came up to her in a hurry, and said with self-blame: "Your official learned that the queen came to Jichun County, so I came here on purpose. The journey is tiring, and the queen is still in childbirth. It is time to tell the subordinate officials in advance, so that the subordinate officials can be prepared."
After saying that, he knelt down in fear and went to Chu Wenbi to ask: "Please also ask the head of the country to ask the queen to return to the mansion immediately. If the queen's phoenix body is damaged, it will be difficult for your majesty to explain to the previous officials."
"Tan Inspector, you still have the face to submit a statement. If it wasn't for you being unfavorable, why would my daughter come to Jichun County after a long journey to seek justice for the newly hired wet nurse?"
Chu Wenbi was full of anger and had no place to vent his anger at this time, Tan Qing came and bumped into the gun uninvited, how could he give this guy a good face.
Not to mention that it is just the governor of a state, even if his son-in-law came to him, he still scolded: "Lord governor, if you don't hurry up to solve the matter of the funeral and suspension of production in Langzhou City, the old man will be the first to join you when he arrives in Beijing." One."
"My lord's lesson is that all low officials are incompetent."
Tan Qing has been entangled in the affairs of the state government these days, how could he know that the situation below is like this, facing Chu Nanzhi with a solemn expression, and hurriedly pleaded guilty: "Please punish the queen."
"Get up."
Chu Nanzhi is well aware of the predicament that Tan Qing has faced since he took office, and he has to help Lin Jinxiao go north to collect food and pay, and also has to prevent the army from resisting the Dongsang people. Many things.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but look at Zhang Xuan, the long history who came in: "If I remember correctly, when Governor Tan went to the Beibu Gulf to inspect the military situation, he should have given all the policies and orders during the national mourning period to him. Master Chang Shi is right, but why has the number of women who died of dystocia increased tenfold in the past month?"
"This"
Zhang Xuan frowned suspiciously: "Your Majesty did not dare to be sloppy with any of the things that the Governor-in-Chief explained. He has already strictly ordered the officials of all counties not to embarrass the mothers who are about to give birth during the national mourning period. Presumably it is because the people of Langzhou City are grateful for the benevolence of the late emperor. Virtue, that's why we abide by the etiquette and don't want to go beyond the rules."
"So, does this palace disrespect the late emperor?"
Chu Nanzhi glanced at the past deeply, and Zhang Xuan was so frightened that he fell to his knees immediately: "I don't dare, the queen is gold and jade, how can it be the same."
"Nonsense."
Jan He always felt that some officials deliberately disobeyed the late emperor's will to cause such a catastrophe, so he knelt down furiously, and prayed to Chu Nanzhi:
"Empress, the first emperor has already issued a will for the people to mourn for three days. Even if the people are grateful for the late emperor's benevolence, they will never play games with their own children. Moreover, what Lord Changshi said, the people in the city will not exceed the rules in order to abide by the etiquette. Chen Saburo's first wife, Mrs. Xu, should have induced labor on the day the order arrived, why is it that the first seven days have just passed, and the next official implores the queen to accept Gu Lao's words and open the coffin for an autopsy."
"I"
Gu Lei glared at Zhan He angrily. It was just a threatening word, but he never thought that this guy would still think about it, and it made him miserable for a while.
But in order to find out the truth, he finally compromised and looked at Chen Laosan with deep eyes: "If that's the case, then follow what Magistrate Zhan said."
"Old Gu."
Chen Laosan knelt down on the ground crying bitterly: "The dead wife has been buried in the ground, please take pity on the Queen and Gu Lao, and don't disturb their mother and son any more."
"Chen Sanlang, as a wife and father, you are so timid and afraid of getting into trouble."
With a face full of hatred for iron and steel, Zhan He scolded angrily: "You and Xu's husband and wife, she was pregnant for you for ten months, and now she has been wronged to death, and you don't even have the courage to speak out for her, what a waste of a husband .”
Listening to the menacing scolding, Chen Laosan and the pair of young sons just kept crying, not daring to speak.
Chu Nanzhi could see that the father and son must have been coerced by someone to dare not tell the truth, so she knelt down slowly and asked intentionally, "Chen Sanlang, right now I am interested in investigating the cause of death of the puerpera during the national funeral. , Everyone complained about your wife's death, and it's understandable that you don't want to open the coffin for an autopsy, but what the county magistrate Zhan said just now has to make people doubt, why is your wife the first seven today?"
Chen Laosan was suddenly at a loss for words, buried his head tightly, and trembled all over.
Chu Nanzhi's voice gradually turned dull: "This makes me a little curious. Is it because you don't want to open the coffin for an autopsy because you feel sorry for your dead wife or because of other reasons for your dead wife's death? Could it be that you murdered her yourself, and you are afraid that the autopsy will reveal the truth?" Why are you here?"
"The grassroots don't dare, the grassroots don't dare."
Chen Laosan clenched his teeth tightly and the corners of his mouth trembled uncontrollably. He was sobbing: "Caomin would rather be smashed to pieces than hurt his wife and children."
"I believe in you."
Chu Nanzhi straightened up resolutely, and pretended to leave: "Since this is the case, I also respect your decision. The matter of your dead wife will be settled today."
He had just walked a few steps outside the hall, when he heard a childish voice behind him: "Please ask your mother to be the master and seek justice for my aunt."
Chu Nanzhi heard the sound and turned around, seeing that it was Chen Laosan's eldest son who was weeping and praying to him, he felt a little comfort in his heart. "
