Husband-in-Law: Reborn Peasant Girl Busy Farming

Bai Changlin's temples twitched, and he squeezed his chin, "What the younger brother said is absolutely true."

"However," Xue Lince changed the subject, "We need to catch this thief before we can find out."

The two brothers and sisters exchanged a look and sighed at the same time.

After sitting for a while, Tang Luoyu returned to the courtyard. Seeing that it was getting late, Xue Lince bid farewell to Bai Changlin. The husband and wife left the mansion side by side, sighing all the way.

Tang Luoyu still had a thorn in his heart because of Ms. Zhao's matter, and when he was sitting in the carriage, his eyes were only fixed outside the window, staring at the receding scenery in a daze.

Xue Lince knew that her mind was heavy, so he went up to sit beside her, and stretched out his hand to pinch her cool fingers. His palm was wide and warm, covered with thin calluses, and had just the right roughness. Tang Luoyu was startled, and when he looked back, he happened to be with His extremely warm eyes met.

"But still thinking about Miss Zhao's family?"

Xue Lince asked in a soft voice, gently pinning the broken hair from her temples behind her ears, resting her broad palm on her cheek, and gently rubbing her cheek with her callused thumb.

Tang Luoyu's facial features are exquisite, with round eyebrows and eyes, as if carved from jade, without any makeup applied, his eyes are like a clear lake, the pupils are clear and tight, revealing a touch of melancholy, which also reflects Xue Lince's cheeks.

She sighed softly, reached out and pinched Xue Lince's fingers.

"Call me why you don't want to."

She took another deep breath, and then exhaled a long breath, "I sent the tonic that Miss Zhao took. Even if everyone doesn't blame me, Lord Bai told me not to take it to heart. The lady herself also told me not to feel guilty, but how can I just let it go?"

The sadness in her eyes became thicker and thicker, like a thin layer of mist rising on the surface of the lake. Xue Lince felt distressed when he saw it, so he raised his arms and put his arms around her shoulders, hugging her gently, and she also put her head powerlessly in his arms.

With his ear attached to Xue Lince's chest, Tang Luoyu could hear his powerful and rhythmic heartbeat.

"You are also out of good intentions." Xue Lince patted her on the shoulder as if comforting a child, "Who knows that someone with a heart will take advantage of it."

Feeling that his wife was still depressed, he hugged her even tighter, "You have already found the most important witness, as long as you catch the thief, the matter will come to light."

He comforted him softly for a long time, and Tang Luoyu finally relaxed slowly, his tense back gradually relaxed, and the strength of holding his hand eased a lot.

On the other side, after the man's portrait was posted, the common people came to provide clues. Jing Zhaoyin was fast, and he caught the man within a short time after getting the clue.

When Bai Changlin got the news, he rushed to the Yamen very quickly, and he saw the man kneeling in the hall, his appearance was almost exactly the same as Xue Lince's portrait.

Seeing Bai Changlin coming, Jing Zhaoyin vacated his seat, Bai Changlin's resentment was still there, and now seeing the culprit was even more angry, he didn't make any detours, and went straight to the point.

"You want to commit crimes, but you poured safflower water into the medicine altar sent to Baifu?"

The man looked up at Bai Changlin, met his cold and serious eyes, then quickly lowered his head, his facial features twitched non-stop, and the mole at the corner of his mouth trembled accordingly.

"My lord," he said in a loud voice, "it was the villain who did it."

"It's so unreasonable!" Bai Changlin slapped the gavel on the table, and there was a crisp sound in the hall, and the man trembled in shock.

"Who are you instigated by?" Bo Changlin and Lin Chang frowned, "Hurry up and recruit them truthfully!"

The man shrank his neck and didn't raise his head, wishing he could put his whole head into his neck, "Back to the words of the adults, no one ordered it!"

"A bunch of nonsense!" Bai Changlin saw through his lie at a glance, "You have no grievances with the Bai family, and you have never met Miss Zhao, so why did you specifically entrap the Bai family? You didn't invite the truth! Confess and be lenient. Strictly, be careful of the torture!"

The man still arched his back, rested his chin on his chest, and insisted, "Master Hui, there is really no one to order!"

"It's unreasonable," Jing Zhaoyin was also annoyed, "If no one instructed you, why would you do such an unjust act?"

"because……"

The man seemed not good at lying, he was sweating profusely, stammered, his eyes rolled around, and finally gritted his teeth, frowned, and said bravely: "Because I just don't like the Bai family! I also heard that the Zhao family Miss was ordering tonics in the shop, and for a while, she was fascinated by ghosts, so she planted red flowers in it."

"You dare to quibble!" Bai Changlin became angry, "Come here, give me twenty blows!"

The policemen acted immediately, stepped forward in twos and set up the man and pressed him on the torture tool, "slapping" just a few boards down.

At first, the man was able to grit his teeth and persevere, and kept yelling that there was no one to order. After the ten boards went down, he was sweating profusely, and bean-sized beads of sweat clattered his cheeks, a large area of ​​his coat was wet, and his sallow face was also swollen. It turned into a pig liver color, and the teeth almost broke the corners of the mouth.

In the end, he couldn't hold back any longer, and begged for mercy repeatedly: "My lord, spare me! The villain can say anything! Someone ordered me!"

Bai Changlin had already expected it, so he waved his hand to make the executioner step back, looked at the man coldly, and asked, "If you had said it earlier, you would have avoided suffering such flesh and blood, who is the person behind this scene? "

The man's face turned pale, and it took him a long time before he said tremblingly: "It's Mrs. Xue, Tang Luoyu!"

Bai Changlin was taken aback, his temples twitched, and Jing Zhaoyin, who was on the side, was also startled, and cursed: "You are talking nonsense! You dare to slander the wife of a third-rank official without evidence, do you know what crime you should have?"

Bai Changlin didn't say much, but winked at the policeman again, "Finish the board that was not finished just now, and see if he dares to say anything."

The man was horrified when he heard the words, and struggled with hands and feet, "My lord! The villain is telling the truth! It was indeed Mrs. Xue who instructed me! She revealed her identity when she gave me the medicine and money earlier, it is undoubtedly Tang Luoyu! "

"Wait!" Bo Changlin raised his hand and made a stop gesture to the policemen who surrounded him. His mind was spinning rapidly, and he felt something was wrong, "Can you see the man's appearance clearly?"

"See clearly! See clearly!"

The man nodded like pecking rice.

Bai Changlin's eyebrows twitched, people who did such unrighteous acts wished to wrap themselves up, for fear of being seen, who would not only expose themselves but also specifically identify themselves?Could it be that this is framing?
With the score in his heart, Bai Changlin had a clue, "I will ask you again, have you seen Mrs. Xue before?"
