Chapter 233 Weighing
"Mrs. Cui!"

The young yamen runner exclaimed, obviously recognizing Cui.

When Cui's father heard his shout, his legs immediately went weak and he almost fell down.

"Daughter..."

He was in tears, and was lucky to have the help of the prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture.

When Patriarch Zhang heard that the person dug out was from the Cui family, he became even more restless.

"Nonsense! Why is the eldest brother's wife in her own yard?"

He looked at Zhang Youguang and saw that his eldest son, who was useless, had a pale face and did not dare to look him in the eye. He immediately had a bad feeling.

But why would Cui appear here?

Thinking about the coffin that suddenly exploded in the mourning hall and Cui's missing body on the day of the funeral, the old head of the Zhang family realized belatedly that this matter was unusual.

I'm afraid someone is secretly plotting against the Zhang family!

Everyone in the courtyard had different thoughts at this time.

Gao Cheng gave his deputy a wink.

The deputy immediately went forward to check.

As an official's wife and a daughter of the Cui family, Mrs. Cui naturally had contacts with the powerful families.

The Imperial Guards are the emperor's personal guards, and not everyone can join or serve as one of them.

Most of them are children of the powerful or come from aristocratic families.

The deputy's family, the Wang family of Langya, had frequent dealings with the Cui family.

Although I was not very familiar with Cui, I knew her.

You can tell whether it is Cui at first sight.

The deputy quickly came back with the investigation and reported to Gao Cheng.

Patriarch Zhang's heart instantly rose in anxiety.

Could it be that the person buried in that pit is really Cui?
Although he still thought it was impossible, he was already convinced in his heart. It's over!

Patriarch Zhang glanced at Cui's father and began to think about how to cover up this matter in order to maintain the relationship between the two families.

He suddenly felt a little regretful.

If he had gritted his teeth and agreed to the Cui family's request that day, agreeing to let Jingzhao Prefecture thoroughly investigate the cause of Cui's death, but requiring Cui's own daughter to marry immediately as the second wife, that would have been great!

With a new in-law relationship, even if the Cui family wants to turn against the Zhang family, they will still have to think about it.

Unless they don't care about their daughter's life or death at all.

You can give up this daughter.

Otherwise, as long as they care, even if they just want to take the person back home to raise him, he would have the leverage to control the other party.

after all……

The girl from the Cui family married into the Zhang family. If she wants to divorce, she must get the consent of the Zhang family.

As long as they strike a good balance, the two families will not end up having too much conflict with each other.

Then there is still room for change.

But now... the old master Zhang gritted his teeth in hatred and glared at Zhang Youguang.

It’s all this useless idiot’s fault!

He caused trouble, had no ability to settle it, and yet he said nothing.

Wait until the truth is revealed before catching him off guard.

Even if he was a Daluo Jinxian, he couldn't figure out a solution for a while.

Patriarch Zhang even thought, why not just kill his own relatives for the sake of justice?
At least you can still have a good reputation.

It is probably impossible to save Zhang Shen, but we can train Zhang Tian. As long as the Cui family can believe that Zhang Tian is indeed the child who was stolen from the Cui family, the relationship between the two families may be able to ease.

While Patriarch Zhang was thinking, his eyes were always fixed on Deputy Wang.

What he most wanted to hear, of course, was that the person who was dug out was not from the Cui family!
Deputy Wang bowed to Gao Cheng and said, "Your Excellency..."
