Although Mrs. Xingguo Hou Xie is a stepfamily, but she gets along with her mother-in-law Mrs. Tai, the two sons of Yuan Pei have been taught by their father since their stepmother entered the door, Mrs. Tai knows that her son is preventing the steproom from raising the two children, but she can't help but complain a little in her heart, because in this way, the two grandsons will inevitably have a share with her.

When Mrs. Xie gave birth to a son, Mrs. Tai put all her thoughts on this grandson, Xingguohou would want to change the son, it was Mrs. Tai who vigorously instigated, but it is a pity that Gongzi Xie is a dou who can't be supported, even if he doesn't learn and have no skills, he is also greedy for beauty, and often fights for beauty with others, so that Xingguohou's father and son are tired of running for his aftermath.

If once in a while, Mrs. Xie can still defend her son by saying that he is young and frivolous, who didn't do something stupid when he was young! But Mr. Xie is no longer an accident, but a normal situation.

With this problem, Mrs. Xie turned pale no matter how much she distinguished.

Mrs. Tai always said that the child is still young, and when he grows up and gets married, he will be sensible, and Mrs. Xie will hypnotize herself like this.

"My lord, my lord, if you want to uphold justice for our brother Zhi'er, you must find out the murderer who dared to kill my son and break his body into ten thousand pieces. Mrs. Xie was already crying hoarsely, but she still held on to the hands of the two adults, fearing that as soon as she let go, they would not redress her son's grievances.

Mrs. Tai also cried with red and swollen eyes, but she didn't cry and scold like her daughter-in-law, and her voice was like a broken gong, although she was also distressed that her grandson died tragically, but in the end, there were several grandchildren and great-grandchildren, and they were not as sad as Mrs. Xie.

Grandma Xie is holding a child on the left and right, for her, her husband is dead, it is a relief, it is a sigh of relief, and she no longer has to worry about the child being damaged by her husband, or being affected by her husband's reputation, in front of her double mother-in-law, she can only be sad even if she is not sad.

The two children are still very ignorant, everyone around them is crying, they look a little scared, because they don't know what happened, grandmother said, Daddy is dead, they know, the bad guy they call daddy, the bad guy who often beats their mother, died, and Mom will never be beaten again, isn't it good? Why cry? Shouldn't we be happy that the bad guy is dead?

The child is too young to understand anything, Grandma Xie is not good at talking to them in front of her mother-in-law, she can only take the handkerchief processed by the maid to wipe their faces, and immediately the two children burst into tears, crying sadly, Mrs. Tai nodded secretly when she saw it, she was originally very displeased with this granddaughter-in-law, and felt that she was incapable, although she married into the door in one fell swoop, but failed to take her husband well, which was her biggest mistake, and now she is a sensible person, knowing that she has to cry in front of the two Qincha.

Although Li Qianqian's cabin is far away, but listening to the Xie family crying every day, the mood is not much better, knowing that the two Qin messengers are coming, I said that the Xie family should stop a little, right? I don't want to cry even more, especially the voice of Mrs. Xie, it is simply a magic sound!

"Didn't you say that Wang Shaoqing and they came? Why did Mrs. Xie cry even more?" Li Qianqian put down the book in his hand and asked.

Hearing this, Chunshou raised his head and asked, "Do you want the slave to go and have a look?"

"No need. Li Qianqian first shook his head and refused, and then nodded and asked Chunshou to inquire about the news, "Be careful." ”

"Yes. Chunshou walked to the door and turned back, "Sect Master, I will not attract attention if I go to inquire about the news like this, right?"

"Yes, but we don't know what's going on, and it's normal for us to be curious and want to inquire about the situation, but if we are not curious at all, it will attract attention. Li Qianqian said.

Chunshou didn't understand what she meant, but he knew that not going would lead to suspicion, so he had the courage to go.

Only then did she find that many people were quietly paying attention to the affairs of the Xie family, and she only then understood a little why the sect leader could not come to attract attention.

She greeted a few familiar maids and grandmothers, exchanged messages with them, and knew that the two adults were very upset by Mrs. Xie's crying, so she had ordered someone to take Mrs. Xie down to rest.

"The lady was crying terribly, and her eyes were swollen like walnuts. One of the maids in red who first came to inquire about the news said, "The maids and grandmothers around her saw me wearing red clothes and glared at me fiercely, but the old lady of our family liked us girls wearing red clothes the most, saying that they looked energetic and happy." The maid said proudly.

"Can't his family die, and we outsiders have to follow his family to wear filial piety, right?" a grandmother wearing a dark brown bikina snorted, "My old lady also likes to see young people dressed brightly and brightly, saying that this looks like a good mood." ”

Then all the way to the building, discussing what kind of clothes the masters like to wear, what style of clothing, and jewelry, in the end, it is actually said that their masters like to go to the shop, among which the brocade shop is the most popular shop, Chunshou listened to the secret joy.

waited until the official came to drive people away, and she came back to report to Li Qianqian.

Mother Ye couldn't help laughing at her after hearing this, "You, let you inquire about the news, I only heard that Mrs. Xie cried and her eyes were swollen like walnuts?"

Chunshou thought for a while and followed, "No way, everyone is talking and talking, and they are biased towards clothes and jewelry." ”

"But the people waiting around Mrs. Xie don't like her because the maid is wearing red?"

"That's what the maid said, we went late, and we didn't see it, who knows if what she said is true or not. Chunshou pursed her lips, and Mother Ye patted her head, "It's grown." ”

Chunshou pouted, "I'm not young anymore, don't keep patting my head mom!"

Li Qian covered his mouth and chuckled, Chunjiang glared at Chunshou with a smile, "You also know that you are not small, don't always be unreliable in doing things." ”

Chunshou grimaced at her, and the two of them made a mess, and Mother Ye asked Li Qianqian softly, "Sect Master, do you ......see this case?"

"Wait and see!"

It was not Li Qianqian and his party who were waiting to see, Geng Protector and others were also waiting to see the changes.

Because Gongzi Xie was killed, the head of the guard strengthened the strength of guarding Geng Protector, but Geng Protector didn't care, "Don't be so nervous, it's okay." ”

The head of the guard responded, but his heartstrings were tight.

After listening to Geng Protector's analysis, the head of the guard asked thoughtfully, "What do you mean, this case was not committed by an outsider?"

"Think about it, the cabin on the floor where the Xie family lives, there is only one main passage, and the passage is guarded by the Xie family at all times, if people want to pass by, they are accompanied by their people, how can outsiders enter Xie Gongzi's room and kill him under such strict protection?"

Seems to make some sense?

Geng Protector said, "I remember you told me that when Gongzi Xie died, there were seven or eight maids waiting in the room?"

"Yes. The head of the guard paused, "It's just that they're all fainting." ”

"If my guess is correct, the person who did it should be among those maids. ”

"What about the maids waiting in Gongzi Xie's room?" Huang Shilang flipped through the preliminary interrogation record made by the captain of the passenger ship.

"Do you want to ask them?" asked the officer.

"Yes. Wang Shaoqing took a sip of tea, "Mrs. Xie and Mrs. Tai are settled?"

Ya Servant Jia nodded with palpitations, that Mrs. Xie was terrible, and that voice was really ...... Although I sympathize with her for the loss of her only son, I can't abuse them like this! I scream at every turn, it's really scary! I have something to say! They came to catch her son's murderer, and when the adults asked, she honestly replied, why did they keep crying and shouting for the adults to avenge her son.

"The two of them, one has lost his beloved son, and the other has lost his beloved grandson, and they are both old, so it's not good to make them too excited, explain their maids, and don't forget to give them soothing soup. ”

"Yes. Seeing that the two adults had no other instructions, the official A withdrew and went to do the errands.

Huang Shilang sighed in surprise, Wang Shaoqing looked up at him, "What's wrong?"

"Do you still remember the case of the murder of the prince of Qingguo, the team of guards from the Geng family who came from Eastern Qi?"

"Yes. "If it weren't for these people, they wouldn't have been able to find out who was killed in the apse at this time.

"They are also on the ship, it seems that they have found their lordship, I don't know who they were captured?" Huang Shilang knows the identity of this Lord Geng, although he is a civil official, but I heard that his martial arts are strong, and it is not something that ordinary people can easily subdue.

Wang Shaoqing said, "It would be nice if they could also provide some clues this time." ”

"Well, you may be disappointed, they live in the lower cabin, I'm afraid they haven't been able to pay attention to the Xie family's affairs. ”

"I'll call over and ask later, maybe there's something to be gained?"

"It's fine. ”

Although he didn't hold out much hope, after asking the Geng family's guards, Huang Shilang couldn't hide his disappointment.

"Strange, why didn't you live in the girl's interview above Lord Geng's cabin?" Huang Shilang flipped through the record and said.

Wang Shaoqing smiled, "I heard that the girl grew up with her grandmother since she was a child, and she was very dissatisfied with this trip, and she had a big temper, maybe because of this, the captain didn't ask her, right?"

If she was as virtuous as Madame Xie, then it would be no wonder that the captain didn't go to her for questioning.

"Even if you have a hard time with Mrs. Xie, you still have to ask me to come over and ask questions. Huang Shilang said.

"After asking those maids, let people invite her over, and her maids and servants have asked?" Wang Shaoqing asked.

"Nope. Huang Shilang flipped through the record and shook his head.

"Let's come over later!"

After the servant A brought those maids over, he was sent to inform Li Qianqian that they would come over for questioning in a while.

Chunjiang thanked the official A who came to inform him, closed the door and said, "I thought I didn't need to be questioned!"

"How is that possible?"

The reason why the captain of the passenger ship did not come to ask was because he was a member of the Hewei, and Li Qianqian created a difficult image of the daughter of the official family on the ship, if he came to ask, she would let him ask, and this image would not be guaranteed, so he said yes to Li Qianqian, and asked her to wait for Huang Shilang and them to ask her.

"Shall we go over now?"

"No, wait until they send someone over again. Li Qianqian picked up a picture album and looked at it, this album painted the scenic spots in the Zhongzhou continent, which was sent to her by Feng Gongzi a few days ago, a set of twenty-four volumes, when the Tiansheng Empire divided the Zhongzhou continent into twenty-four state capitals, and the twenty-four volumes happened to be twenty-four states.

What she is reading now is the volume of Fengzhou in the Tiansheng Empire, which is also the location of the imperial capital during the Tiansheng Empire.

Huang Shilang frowned and was a little puzzled, looking at the maids standing in front of him, why were there only six people?

"When Gongzi Xie passed away, how many of you were waiting in the room?"

"Yes. The maids replied in unison.

Huang Shilang looked through the records and asked suspiciously, "But when the captain asked you before, there were obviously eight people, how could they ......" He stretched out his hand and pointed at the maids in front of the case. "Now it's only six people?"

The six maids looked at each other, and then one of the eldest maids replied, "The servants who waited for the son in the room that day were a few maidservants, and there was no one else. ”

That's weird. "There are eight people in the record. ”

The maids were puzzled, "The maids don't understand, it was clear that there were only six of us waiting in the room that day." ”

"Oh no, there's that Ming embroidery. Standing on the far right, the most petite maid, said suddenly.

"Yes, and Mingxiu. ”

Wang Shaoqing asked, "Mingxiu is that?"

"I found out that the boy died of the maid, she wanted to be a roommate, but grandma didn't nod, she could only be a maid, even if she climbed into the child's bed, she was still a maid for grandma to marry. ”

There is still a difference between a maid and a maid.

Generally speaking, the maid who accompanies the marriage is probably the woman who is ready to make a room for her uncle, so she will choose a beautiful one to give birth to, but it has to be arranged by her master, and she will become a maid after the bright road, or even if she gives birth to a child for her uncle, she is still a maid, not a maid.

The monthly income of a maid in the room is higher than that of an ordinary maid, and after giving birth to a child, she will generally be promoted to an aunt.

The treatment of the aunt is better than that of the maid, and the treatment of the maid is better than that of the maid, but it is not as good as the henchmen who have to be used in front of the masters.

However, in the Xingguo Marquis Mansion, in Gongzi Xie's room, although Grandma Xie is the main room, she is not happy with her husband, and the treatment of Gongzi Xie's aunt and maid in the room is higher than that of Grandma Xie, so that Mingxiu would rather betray his master and climb into his aunt's bed.

"Where's that Mingxiu?"

"She?, she's stupid when Childe dies, isn't she?" the maid who replied turned to the others for support, and the other five maids all nodded in agreement.

"She seems to have been locked in the cabin by her grandmother, and since she was beaten up on her back and put in her uncle's bed, her grandmother has not been very kind to see her. ”

"Yes. ”

"I remember when that Ming embroidery went in, you all passed out?"

"Yes!" the maids sighed in unison. "When we woke up, we realized that Childe was dead. When the eldest maid said this, she seemed to be a little stunned, as if she was at a loss, what will happen to their future when the son is dead?

Huang Shilang looked through the records, turned to the captain's record of the guards guarding the passage, it was clearly recorded that after Mingxiu entered the house, he screamed soon, they rushed over, pushed the door to check, and found that Mingxiu fainted and died in front of the bed, and the son had a knife inserted in his chest, the person was already dead, the blood was still slightly wet, his eyes were open, and he was obviously dead, and no one entered the cabin before Mingxiu entered the room.

As soon as the captain of the passenger ship arrived, he immediately ordered everyone to stay where they were and not to move, there were eight women in the cabin at that time, all of them were maids, if as these maids said, they had always been six people, when Mingxiu came in, the son was dead, then the extra maid should be the murderer? Who is she? Where is the person now?

How do you find that maid?

And Xie Gongzi is seriously ill and is dying, so there is no need to kill him at all, what is the murderer's motive for killing him?

Huang Shilang and Wang Shaoqing looked at each other and smiled bitterly, thinking that it was a simple case!
