Chapter 207: The Arsonist

What was waiting for her to ask for guilt turned out to be a cold corpse.

Sang Qingrou was shocked when she saw the white cloth covering all the corpses.

She saluted, and then asked, "Father, mother, what's going on?" Didn't the housekeeper say that the murderer of the arson had been found?"

"This assailant is right in front of you. ”

Sang Qingrou frowned, and as soon as she took two steps forward, she was stopped by Jin Yuyan.

"Qingrou, what are you doing here? It's already a hard corpse, and the death is very infiltrating, so don't look at it. It's so scary that you won't be able to sleep at night. ”

Sang Qingrou smiled faintly: "Mother is too worried, her daughter is not a timid person." At the beginning, at the mass grave, the more terrible and disgusting corpse daughter has also seen, such a corpse, no matter how terrifying, can it be compared with the rotting corpse at the mass grave? The daughter is no longer the eldest lady who used to stay in the boudoir all day long. Don't worry!"

As she spoke, she pulled out her hand, crouched down, and slowly lifted the white cloth from the corpse.

Suddenly, everyone else present was so frightened that they turned their faces, and even Sang Chengyuan frowned.

Sang Qingrou didn't smell the smell of the corpse even when she got close, which showed that the corpse had not been dead for a long time. The corpse had a belt around its neck.

The deceased's face was blue, his tongue was forced to stick out, his eyes turned out, and his conjunctiva was hyperemic.

Sang Qingrou wrapped her hand with a handkerchief and briefly examined the deceased, and it could be preliminarily concluded that the death was caused by mechanical asphyxiation. When she was about to check the groove around the deceased's neck, Liu Mei suddenly stepped forward and pulled her up.

"Miss, you are a daughter, it is best not to touch the deceased too much, it is too unlucky. This kind of thing is not what you should do. The man has died, left a suicide note, and also confessed his crime. Finally, there is a result of your injury. ”

"And a suicide note?"

Jin Yuyan nodded and said: "Ding Quan is a rough subordinate of the house, when everyone found him, he had already committed suicide by hanging from the beam in the subordinate room, leaving such a suicide note, explaining the whole thing. According to the letter, he accidentally set the cellar on fire, and he didn't expect it to cause such a fire that it almost killed you. He was too scared to come forward and confess. ”

If you are afraid, why do you choose to commit suicide?

With doubts, Sang Qingrou carefully checked the contents of the suicide note.

What is roughly said above is that he learned that he had caused a monstrous disaster, and he did not dare to speak out. The government thoroughly investigated the matter, and he knew that paper could not contain the fire, and one day, this matter would be discovered. He couldn't sleep well, he was worried all day long, and finally he couldn't stand such torture.

Knowing that he made a big mistake and couldn't make up for it, he hurt the eldest lady and His Royal Highness King Chen, and there was no way to live. He chose to make a decision on his own and apologize for his sins. I only hope that King Chenwang will open up and let go of the elderly and blind old mother at home.

In the suicide note, it was written that Ding Quan accidentally set the wine cellar on fire.

Sang Qingrou knew that something was wrong at a glance!

She was in the cellar at the time, but she could smell the oil, and the door of the cellar was chained from the outside. Even if no one knows that someone is in the cellar, how can you explain the oil spilled?

It seems that Ding Quan is not the real murderer, but has become someone else's scapegoat.

She was about to say, but Liu Mei had already stood up and said, "I really didn't expect the truth to be like this." Since the truth has come out, master, Ding Quan has confessed to suicide, he is also right, the crime is not as good as his family, not to mention, he is unintentional. Can his elderly mother no longer be held accountable?"

Sang Chengyuan's eyebrows frowned: "You want to intercede for him?"

"Master, Ding Quan is also an unintentional mistake, although the eldest lady is injured, fortunately, Fu Da has a great life, but it is just some flesh wounds. Ding Quan was already dead, and the concubine thought that there was no need to hold his mother accountable. She was old and blind, and she was pitiful enough. If she is held accountable again, the people will say that the prime minister is not close to people. Please think twice, sir!"

Sang Chengyuan looked at Ouyang Shuo: "His Royal Highness King Chen, what do you think of this matter?"

"Since it was an unintentional mistake, and Ding Quan is also dead, don't pursue it anymore. Sang Cheng can take care of Ding Quan's aftermath!"

Sang Qingrou looked at Ouyang Shuo in surprise, didn't he see it either?

Ding Quan became a scapegoat, he didn't deserve to die. Was it suicide, or did the murderer behind it find an unlucky person to take the blame for it? She couldn't let Ding Quan die for no reason.

"Father, daughter thinks that this matter is not so simple. ”

Liu Mei immediately retorted: "Miss, Ding's family is already miserable. You have to be forgiving and forgiving, your injuries have been healed, and even the prince will not be held accountable, if you still bite to the death, will it seem too vicious?"

Sang Qingrou frowned, she didn't say anything, why was Liu Mei so excited?

She has always been Mingzhe to survive in the Prime Minister's Mansion, is this a few days after becoming the second lady, is she going to change her rules of survival and find a sense of existence in the Prime Minister's Mansion?

"Second lady, I haven't said anything yet, and you're going to call me vicious. What the hell are you thinking? A subordinate, you are so concerned, I am also a little curious, why the second lady knows everything about Ding Quan. There are so many people in the mansion with miserable backgrounds, why don't you see the second lady caring about others?"

Suddenly, Liu Mei's face changed.

"Miss, the concubine is just a matter of facts. The concubine has some understanding of Ding Quan's life experience, and that is because Ding Quan helped the concubine, and the concubine learned that Ding Quan and his old mother depend on each other. He once retrieved the love token given to the concubine by the lord for the concubine, and the concubine was very grateful. Here, the concubine dared to beg the lord to take out Ding Quan's monthly routine from the concubine's monthly routine and send it to Ding Quan's mother, and hide it from his mother, so as not to make the old man sad. ”

Liu Mei's arrangement is reasonable, and it can't help but make people feel that she is a kind-hearted person.

But Sang Qingrou always felt that something was wrong, Liu Mei had always been a person who didn't hear anything outside the window, and even if the sky fell, she wouldn't say more than half a word. How could you stand up and speak today for the sake of just one Ding Quan?

This is not the first time Liu Mei has come out, the last time, it seems that she was just named a flat wife.

Could it be that a simple identity can really change a person in a moment?

Sang Qingrou looked at Liu Mei carefully, trying to find traces in those calm eyes.

Liu Mei was stared at without the slightest waver.

"Miss, what are you doing looking at the concubine like this?"

Sang Qingrou smiled lightly: "It's nothing! I just think that today's second lady is a little different from what I remember." In the past, you have always been silent, but today you actually stand up and plead for a subordinate, which is not like your style of acting at all. ”

He approached Liu Mei: "Are you really the Aunt Liu I know?"
