Chen Ziyue was taken aback, only to feel that Shao Jin's words had something to say, as if he meant that he was in collusion with the Feng family, he hurriedly raised his head and looked at Shao Jin, and saw Shao Jin's eyes looking at him directly, his eyes full of suspicion.
Chen Ziyue secretly scolded a reckless man in his heart, but he said angrily on his face: "This official has no dealings with the Feng family, so why don't you dare to investigate?"
"In that case, come on, go to the side courtyard, check!"
Shao Jin didn't care about the rules that men outside the back house were not allowed to enter, and took a few people around him to the side courtyard directly, the Song family wanted to stop it, but looking at Shao Jin's unceremonious posture, he could only be secretly anxious, thinking that Feng Yuansu could come back as soon as possible, and at the same time took the Feng family and his party to follow behind Shao Jin.
The side courtyard is still the same as it was, the blood on the wall is still there, and the long rope on which the corpse is hanging has fallen to the ground and no one has paid attention to it.
Shao Jin led the group to stand outside the door, and after a while, the person who entered the room to inspect retreated, walked to Shao Jin, and said loudly: "My lord, there are traces of fighting in this room, although the ground has been cleaned, some blood stains can still be seen, in addition, there is a broken wood cut in the door wall of the room, which is similar to the wood cut on the deceased's head, and the subordinates also found this in the corner of the wall." ”
The man stretched out his hand and presented the object in his hand, which was a jade bracelet with gold trim.
Liu was so frightened when he saw the bracelet that he was colorless, but a maid in the crowd was wide-eyed and said, "That... Isn't that the Great Lady's bracelet..."
"Whose do you think this bracelet belongs to?"
Shao Jin looked at the maid with cold eyes, and the maid trembled with fright: "Yes, it's the eldest lady's, this bracelet has been worn on the eldest lady's hand earlier, the slave maid has seen it with her own eyes, the slave maid heard the autumn cicada sister in the eldest lady's courtyard said, this bracelet is the dowry brought by the eldest lady from her mother's house, and the bracelet is carved with a peony three spring picture, before the eldest lady's courtyard Sister Yuexiang accidentally broke the bracelet, and was beaten by the eldest lady dozens of boards, almost died..."
Shao Jin flipped through his hand when he heard this, and saw that there were indeed a few blooming peonies carved on the inside of the jade bracelet, and one of the petals seemed to have some fine cracks.
He looked up at Liu, who was already frightened.
"No, the bracelet is mine, but the bracelet was lost when I got up in the morning, I don't know how it was here with Mama Li, I didn't kill anyone... Autumn cicadas, autumn cicadas know... I didn't kill anyone..."
Qiu Chan's face was also full of panic, and she said urgently: "Madame won't kill people, she was in the room all the time last night, and the slave maid has been serving on the side, and she hasn't gone out at all!"
"Yes, then how did this bracelet end up in this remote courtyard, and where did the wounds on your body come from?!"
Everyone looked at Liu Shi in unison, but when Liu Shi waved his hand back in a panic just now, the sleeves of his shirt slipped down and the exposed half of his arm was bruised, and there were traces of fingernails scratching on it.
Liu was so frightened that he hurriedly withdrew his hand and wanted to cover it up, but Shao Jin directly stepped forward and grabbed her arm, so that those injuries were exposed in front of everyone's eyes, and said coldly: "These scratches on your body have just scabbed over, and the bruises are all new injuries, last night this grandmother was entangled with people before she died, you had injuries on your body, and your personal belongings were left here, saying, did you kill this grandmother, and then order someone to hang her to hide people's eyes and ears?"
"No, I didn't!!I didn't kill it, I didn't kill it!!"
Liu struggled, and as soon as Shao Jin's hand was released, she fell directly to the ground, trembling in fright: "I didn't kill anyone, I really didn't kill anyone, I was with Qiu Cicada last night, she can testify for me, I haven't seen Mama Li at all!"
Qiu Cicada said urgently: "My lord, the slave really doesn't dare to lie, the eldest lady never left the room all night last night..."
"You are her maid, so you will naturally testify for her, maybe your master and servant are conspiring to kill people, since you said that your wife has not been here, why is her personal belongings here, and where does this body injury on her body come from?!"
The autumn cicada suddenly choked and couldn't speak.
Seeing this, Shao Jin snorted coldly: "Since I can't say it, this Feng Keshou's wife must have nothing to do with the death of this grandmother, and maybe it has something to do with Feng Keshou's plot to kill the saint.
The people around him directly surrounded him, reaching out to grab Liu and Qiu Cicada, Feng Yan pounced in front of Liu with a pale face, blocking those who wanted to arrest her, and said urgently to Liu: "Mother, do you really want to be called murderous, where did the injuries on your body come from!?"
Liu wanted to speak in a panic, but he didn't know what he thought of and closed his mouth violently.
Feng Yan was so angry when she saw this, she knew Liu's temperament, Liu didn't have the courage to kill at all, not to mention that she had no grievances with Mama Li, how could she kill her, but now that Mama Li is dead, all the evidence points to Liu, if she can't explain how the injuries on her body came from, she will definitely not be good today.
Seeing that Liu refused to speak, Feng Yan turned her head and glared at Qiu Cicada angrily and said, "How did my mother's injury come about, don't you say it quickly!"
The Song family was also panicked by this outing, seeing that Shao Jin's people were holding on to the Liu family and refused to give up, the Song family stepped forward and slapped Qiu Chan in the face, and said sharply: "Didn't you hear the words of the third lady, don't you tell me honestly, how did the injury on the eldest lady's body come about, if you dare to say half a lie, I will immediately sell you to the hook bar!"
When Qiu Chan heard Song's words, her face turned pale, and she knelt on the ground with a "poof" and said urgently: "The third lady spares her life, the third lady spares her life, the slave maid said, the slave maid said everything, the eldest lady's injuries were beaten by the uncle..."
"Shut up!"
Liu screamed, but Shao Jin gave her a look, and someone next to her immediately stepped forward to cover her mouth.
Of course, Shao Jin knew who the uncle in Qiu Cicada's mouth was, and looked at Qiu Cicada coldly and said, "You said that the injuries on her body were caused by Feng Keshou?"
"Yes, it's uncle...... Since the day the second master returned home, the uncle and the eldest lady often quarreled, last night, the uncle did not know why he suddenly came to the courtyard of the eldest lady in the middle of the night, the two quarreled after a few words, and then the uncle moved towards the eldest lady, the eldest lady cried in the room for a whole night, and only cried tired and fell asleep when she arrived at Yin, the slave did not dare to lie, the slave and the maid had been staying in the lady's room last night, and the lady really did not go out. ”
Shao Jin said in a deep voice, "Do you know why Feng Keshou argued with her?"
"Slave maid, slave maid couldn't hear clearly, only vaguely heard them mention the old lady, and said, and said, and ......"
