Zhao Yu didn't know what he thought of, and suddenly became calm, "The government investigated the truth from that time, and might have punished the two of them? Five lives were still the kind of evil that was so unfamiliar to killing his master and his wife. In addition to the three of us who were burned, according to the law, we can be sentenced to death."

Sun Zhao looked at Huo Weilou and raised his eyebrows, "The government will sentence him according to the law, you only need to confess your sins."

Zhao Yu straightened his back, "I think Jiang Xing, Yu Xun and Ye Fei were both killed by me. I wanted to scare them, so I used blood birds as a premonition. I learned to tame birds when I was young. Later, when I arrived in the garden, I saw the masters tame birds every day, and only had to catch a few birds. It was easy to capture for me, but they were too stupid. The first bird died in the water tank, and they had never noticed it."

Sun Zhao's voice sank, "What did I ask you, what did you answer, how did you kill Jiang Xing?"

"It's really hateful. When the five of them returned to the capital, they were all tepid. In the theater, they were not valued by nobles. However, because they learned animal show with their master in their early years, they were chosen by the prince of Nan'an. Even now, they are still grateful to their master..." Zhao Yu sneered: "The five of them are still the same place over the years, which means they are all birds of a wolf-hearted person, but in the past three years, their relationship has been much worse than usual."

"Jiang Xing is a hard-working person. He not only pretended to be a blood bird, but also wanted to learn the art of taming the blood bird, and then used the trick of turning the blood bird in the bird play. It was so good that the prince of Nan'an valued it. Therefore, he liked to wander around when the blood bird was put into the forest to see if it could make the blood bird obedient. The weather was not good that night, and I hid in the dark forest waiting for him. Sure enough, he arrived soon."

Zhao Yu's face was a bit ferocious, "There was a water tank not far from the forest. I suddenly appeared. Before I could react, he was thrown to the ground by me. Over the years, they were considered pampered and could not match me. After being subdued by me, I pressed him into the water tank and drowned alive. Back then, he drowned one of my senior brothers."

Zhao Yu didn't need Sun Zhao to ask, and said to himself, "I just want to remind the five of them of the past, but I don't want to expose myself easily, so I threw him into Yuehu. After the incident, I was indeed regarded as a mistake and died in the lake."

"In the next month, the four of them were left a little panicked, but they never thought that someone would come back to take revenge. This time, I hung the blood bird on the osmanthus tree in the vestibule, but it still did not arouse everyone's vigilance."

Zhao Yu's tone seemed helpless, "I took care of Yu Xun. I will naturally tie the belt knot. I will strangle him to death and then stay under the osmanthus tree. As for the feathered clothes, I just wanted to scare them, because there was such a feathered robe in the master's opera troupe back then, but they seemed to have forgotten it."

Zhao Yu pulled his lips, but there was no smile in his eyes. "This time I knew that the Prince of Nan'an would definitely report to the official position, so I put a teacup in the house and wanted to pretend that a guest would come to visit. It was the so-called "guest" who killed Yu Xun."

Bo Ruoyou couldn't help frowning when she heard this. Later, she thought about whether the teacup was a trick, but she didn't expect it to be true.

Zhao Yu also looked at Bo Ruoyou at this time and went to see Sun Zhao and Huo Weilou again. "Maybe the yamen is different from the past, or maybe the case is in the garden of the Prince of Nan'an. This time, the yamen attaches more importance to this murder than I expected. Not only that, because of the two tea cups, Liu Qing and others were suspected, and were taken to the yamen for investigation, so it was difficult for me to continue."

"I thought about it carefully for a while and decided to use the coffin nail to blame Song Zhongming."

He looked proud and seemed to think of the ridiculousness of the people in the yamen being tricked. Sun Zhao's eyes stern, "How do you know Song Zhongming's secret?"

Zhao Yu bent his lips, "Who has no secret? You must have it too, sir. I have been in the Hundred Bird Garden for three years and was the most inconspicuous servant in the garden. It was not enough to serve Yu Xun. The masters in the garden are also half the masters. I do the most complicated and humble jobs, but I can also be omnipresent. I discovered Song Zhongming's corruption a year ago."

This was the first time Sun Zhao saw such a calm and composed murderer, and was even more unhappy by his sarcastic smile, "Did you change the medicine before killing Ye Fei?"

"Although we take care of different masters, we often help with things. I went to Ye Fei's house to change the medicine, which was very relaxed." At this point, Zhao Yu said again: "Sir must also want to know how I came out at night and were not discovered. People who live with me always like to drink medicinal wine at night. I added sleep-aiding medicine to the wine, and he would not wake up even if it hits thunder."

Sun Zhao stared at Zhao Yu with narrow eyes, but under his gaze, Zhao Yu's expression remained unchanged.

Zhao Yu said again: "Ye Fei and the other two went back to the Hundred Bird Garden. They felt a little strange. When the incident happened, they were old and they were not as young as me. So that night, Ye Fei went to see Liu Qing. After seeing Liu Qing, he returned to the room and took dinner before he started taking medicine. Soon the person fell down. As soon as I entered the door, he was extremely scared-"

"He seemed to have guessed my identity, but he didn't know which one I was back then. I tied him up and took him to a rockery cave. The coffin was so long that I nailed it into his temples one by one."

At this point, the corners of his eyes twitched, and a sharp look appeared in his eyes. "At that time, he killed his master like this, he used the iron arrows used in our opera troupe to pierce the master's head, just like me."

"What a pain that was. Therefore, when I nailed him this time, I was extremely slow and made him hurt for a long time. Then I hit him down one by one..."

Sun Zhao looked at Zhao Yu and took a deep breath to suppress his anger, and then looked at him calmly.

Sun Zhao looked at Huo Weilou, and saw that Huo Weilou was holding a teacup in his hand and kept his eyes closed before he could speak. He directed the yamen at the door: "Take it to the prison first, and wait for Wu Xiang to come back and interrogate it carefully."

It was already past the middle of this moment, since Zhao Yu confessed, Sun Zhao didn't have to take a closer look at this moment. Zhao Yu was pushed and did not struggle at all, and there was no fear on his face. When he was taken away, Sun Zhao said coldly: "This person was just a child when he witnessed Master Zhao and others being killed. He has become such a cruel person over the years."

Huo Weilou put down the teacup, "Since you have found it, you will leave the rest of the matter to you. Only after the certification and physical evidence is complete can you make a decision."

Sun Zhao should be so, Huo Weilou just took Bo Ruoyou away from the yamen.

After getting on the carriage, Bo Ruoyou breathed a sigh of relief, and Huo Weilou held her hand, "This case is over, you can rest for a few days."

Bo Ruoyou nodded, but her eyebrows were still half frowned. Huo Weilou looked at her, "What's wrong? Is there anything else I haven't figured out?"

Bo Ruoyou shook his head, "He confessed his guilt neatly, which is also in line with his habit of committing crimes. Captain Wu will naturally verify the joints. I just heard what he said and thought of some old things."

Huo Weilou felt a little moved in his heart, "Your brother's accident?"

Bo Ruoyou nodded, "I just heard him say that everything will settle down, and only those who witnessed it will suffer a lot. I thought of my younger brother's accident, and my father and mother's death. He witnessed his master's wife's murder back then, and he was less than five years old. He remembered clearly what happened back then, but I couldn't remember clearly."

Huo Weilou's knuckles slightly closed and took her into his arms. "You were sick and you were young, so it was ordinary that you couldn't remember it. In the past many years, Mr. Cheng didn't tell you in detail, and he was afraid that he would make you sad."

Bo Ruoyou naturally understood Cheng Yunzhi's painstaking efforts. She sighed and said nothing more. The carriage moved straight into Changshoufang. When Bo Ruoyou was sent home, Huo Weilou said goodbye and left.

Cheng Yunzhi had already fallen asleep, and Bo Ruoyou returned to his boudoir to rest, but it was extremely difficult to fall asleep after lying down. This situation was only when Huo Weilou had no news a month ago. After tossing and turning for a long time, Bo Ruoyou fell asleep lightly.

It was dawn in a daze. Bo Ruoyou felt sleepy, but was awakened by the sound of talking outside. She got up and changed clothes and washed up. She saw Cheng Yunzhi talking to Master Fu at a glance. Bo Ruoyou walked up to him, "Why are you here?"

Eunuch Fu smiled and said, "Did the county lord forget that you are going to marry the marquis? The rules of the marquis have been complicated. The marquis has already told me to come and help. Fortunately, it's still a long time, so we'll prepare the same thing."

Bo Ruoyou naturally didn't forget it. She had only two or three months left, and she didn't realize she was ready to get married. "What do father-in-law want me to do?"

Eunuch Fu and Cheng Yunzhi looked at each other and both smiled. Cheng Yunzhi said: "You don't have to worry about these things, you just wait for February."

The father-in-law Youfu came to make arrangements, and Bo Ruoyou felt relieved. She had used breakfast in the mansion. Seeing that she really had no place to help her, she went to the yamen again. Wu Xiang had returned. When she entered the yamen, Zhao Yu had already given a clean and neat explanation.

Wu Xiang saw Bo Ruoyou in the back hall, and nearly ten pages of confession were handed to Bo Ruoyou. When he saw it, his expression was a little unspeakable. Bo Ruoyou looked strange, "What's wrong with the headmaster?"

Wu Xiang sighed, "This Zhao Yu is also a kind person with affection and righteousness. If it weren't for the incident back then, he could have lived well. It's a pity that he has taken three lives and cannot survive until the end of the year."

It is early winter now, and the cases of various prefectures in the Great Zhou Dynasty were sent to the Ministry of Justice. After Zhao Yu's case was held in court, he would also be sent to the Ministry of Justice to impose a punishment. This death penalty was inevitable.

Wu Xiang said again: "It's such a pity. He shouldn't have taken revenge by himself so impulsively. If he still comes to the government to avenge the official, he can always find out the murder case that year, and none of the five people can escape."

Wu Xiang's pity for Zhao Yu was beyond words, but as a yamen officer, he had to search for evidence impartially. Bo Ruoyou listened while watching Zhao Yu's testimony, and suddenly his eyes were slightly darker, "Did he buy the coffin nails in the coffin shop in the south of the city?"

Wu Xiang nodded, "Yes, he said he had bought it a year ago and was looking for a mobile phone. However, during the New Year and spring and summer, there were many guests in the garden, and there were more servants than usual. He was not easy to do, so he dragged it until autumn."

"Do you go to the coffin shop to ask?" Bo Ruoyou said again.

"I'll ask, there is indeed this coffin nail in the coffin shop, but it's been too long, and the shopkeeper's shop can't remember it."

Bo Ruoyou hesitated for a moment and looked down again. Wu Xiang said in confusion: "What? Do you suspect that what he said is false?"

Bo Ruoyou said: "The confession says that after Master Qian and another senior brother died, they were buried in the mass graves outside the city, and they couldn't remember the location, but I thought it was strange. You should remember the deserted tomb outside Qian Family Town. The land was not small. Master Qian specially bought the burial of Master Zhao. If it were you, then Master Qian and his senior brother died, where would you bury them?"

"Of course, they are buried in that deserted grave together!" Wu Xiang blurted out.

Bo Ruoyou said, "The place where I hesitate is here. Zhao Yu is a calm person and is very persistent in taking revenge. He has been dormant in the Hundred Bird Garden for more than two years. This time, it is not ruled out that someone knows or has helped him. He insists that Master Qian and another senior brother are dead, which is a bit strange."

"You mean, it's possible that the two of them were not dead and they were also accomplices, but he wants to protect them now, so they're dead long ago?"

"This possibility is not ruled out." Bo Ruoyou handed back the confession, "When he confessed last night, I wanted to ask where the tomb of the two men was, but I didn't think it would be the result today."

Wu Xiang went to see the confession again. While he was thinking, Hu Changqing ran out of the inner hall panting, "Captain, county lord, but has the murderer been found?"

Hu Changqing had not arrived last night, but it was only today that the case in Hundred Bird Garden was solved. Wu Xiang gave Hu Changqing the certificate he had in hand, and then said to Bo Ruoyou: "The one you said is indeed doubtful, and I will go and examine him later."

Bo Ruoyou responded, and Hu Changqing looked disbelief after reading the confession, "God, it's been more than ten years, and he actually lives to avenge his master and his wife. He doesn't believe in the government, otherwise, he wouldn't have reached this point."

Wu Xiang said: "It's not surprising. He was a disaster victim back then. He lost his parents at a young age. Later, he was adopted by Master Zhao and his wife. Master Zhao and his wife were like adoptive parents to him. He was a kind-hearted person."

Hu Changqing thought for a moment, "Time will fade hatred, and it is very hard for a person to always remember that revenge is a hard time. He has never changed his ambition over the years, which shows his tenacity in his heart. No wonder he can fight wits and courage with the government when committing a crime."

Wu Xiang moved his neck with a soreness, "No matter what, the case was solved, but it was still involved in an old case. I was also busy next time. I was really relaxed after I stayed in the church."

He was busy looking for the civil servants to prove his confession, and did not talk much with Bo Ruoyou. He went to the duty room for a while. Bo Ruoyou said goodbye with Hu Changqing and left the yamen.

As soon as I walked out of the yamen, I saw four or five children chanting nursery rhymes and playing on the long street in front of the yamen.

"…I'm going to make a three-digit iron, and I'll change my cloth shirt with three taels of silver."

"Four irons are so thrust, four-necked flower needles are so good to pick on."

"Five irons, five rice dumplings celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival..." 1

The sound of nursery rhymes came from a distance. Bo Ruoyou listened for a while before he could tell the words. The childish voice was childish, but he was also happy, which made people feel energetic when they heard it. She paused slightly, smiled and looked at the sound, and Hu Changqing beside her also stopped.

Soon, Hu Changqing said: "It's a 'iron-shot song'. I remember when I was young, this nursery rhyme was widely circulated in Beijing for a while, but because a word in the ballad at that time violated the taboo of a prince's name, people in the Beijing gradually stopped reading this song. Now somehow it has been circulated again."

Hu Changqing was not only over the age of Double Ten. When he was young, even when Bo Ruoyou was still in the capital, she could not remember the old things now, so she naturally had no impression of this song. She turned around and asked, "Is Hu Coroner a person from the capital?"

Hu Changqing nodded, "Yes, he has been in the capital for generations. When he was young, his family was in trouble and he was not allowed to pass the exam. Later, he started to do coroner by accident."

When Bo Ruoyou heard Wu Xiang talk about Hu Changqing's origin, he nodded and said no more. When the two said goodbye, the song continued when Bo Ruoyou got on the carriage.

She ordered Zhou Liang to go to the Marquis Mansion of Wuzhao. Although she didn't know if the yamen had reported the case to Huo Weilou, she still wanted to take a trip by herself. The carriage slowly walked, but the nursery rhyme echoed in Bo Ruoyou's mind. The strange saying was spread by the children. It was really straightforward and catchy. When she arrived in front of the Marquis Mansion, Bo Ruoyou must have entered the mansion.

The attendant went to report that when Bo Ruoyou arrived at the study, he heard a voice inside. When she entered the door, she saw Huo Qinghong and Ming Guilan were both there. She and the two of them had a blessing in greeting. Ming Guilan smiled and said, "Miss Bo is now the county magistrate, so please Hai Han Guilan cannot greet you."

Bo Ruoyou ignored his joke and first told Huo Weilou the confession he saw. Huo Qinghong tskated and said to Ming Guilan: "The two of them are really fellows--"

Ming Guilan laughed and asked after Bo Ruoyou finished speaking: "I heard that an old case from more than ten years ago was involved?"

Bo Ruoyou expected that, at this time, she thought of the case file of Ming Guilan's kidnapped with her own eyes. After pondering for a moment, Bo Ruoyou said bluntly: "When I searched for that old case file, I had seen the case file of Ming Gongzi's kidnapped that year."

Ming Guilan's eyes showed surprise, "That happened more than ten years ago."

"It was the seventeenth year of Jianhe." Bo Ruoyou remembered it very clearly, "It was the same year as the old case that was introduced this time."

Ming Guilan's pupils became dark, "Yes, it's been fourteen years. After the accident, my father was unwilling to give up, but later he found nothing and had to leave it alone. Now it's a deadly case."

Huo Qinghong said: "Did the government fail to do its best back then? Isn't the old case of this opera troupe because of the dereliction of duty by the official in the past?"

Ming Guilan shook his head, "The government office was indeed loose and ineffective at that time, but my father asked many people to put pressure on the government office back then. They were forced to use some manpower and material resources to find it, but they never found any clues."

Huo Qinghong glanced at Ming Guilan's legs, "That person has harmed you for the rest of your life. If you have the chance to find someone, you will definitely be punished severely."

Ming Guilan suddenly felt upset, "So many years have passed..."

Huo Qinghong is a stubborn person, "Don't give up expectations. The case of Zhao Jiaban was revealed after more than ten years, and he still punished the murderer that year."

Although the two cases happened in the same year, they were very different. Zhao Yu knew who the murderer was, but Ming Guilan did not see the murderer's appearance. He smiled and shook his head, obviously because he was seriously ruthless.

Bo Ruoyou didn't know what he was thinking about, but Huo Qinghong and Ming Guilan tactfully said goodbye.

Huo Qinghong said: "The sky stems have not seen any rain or snow. The weather is getting colder. If there is no snow all winter, there will be disasters in the coming year. Several families with titles in the city have set up a temple to pray for rain and snow in the south of the city. Taichang Temple also made efforts under the name of the Tian family. The temple starts today and ends in seven days. I plan to take Gui Lan over and join in the fun."

Huo Weilou was happy to see this, so he sent the two out of the study room and quickly turned back and said, "Hong'er has gone to Taichang Temple. Today is here to complain about suffering."
