Chapter 80: An Unexpected Accomplice

"Didn't the second aunt kill the second uncle?" Sheng Weiqiao had only fled in the Epsom Pearl Pavilion before, which would naturally not have a good face for Sheng Sleeping Crane's door. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

But right now, Sheng Weirao is staying in Zhu Huan's small building, Sheng Weiqiao is worried that arguing with Sheng Sleeping Crane will disturb his cousin, so he didn't make it difficult for him, hinting that Gongsun Yingjiang stumbled Sheng Weiwei, who couldn't stop waving his fists, for himself, and invited people to the stone table under the wisteria trellis in the backyard.

It's just that she originally planned to dry Sheng Sleeping Crane for a while, but after the brothers and sisters sat down, Lu Jin and Lu Qi were waved away, Sheng Wei Qiao Fang picked up the tea bowl and wanted to make a gesture of concentrating on tasting tea, and suddenly heard Sheng Sleeping Crane say something lightly, and was so shocked that he almost poured a bowl of tea on his skirt, and got up in shock, "Is this true?!"

-- It's not that Sheng Weiqiao can't wait for Sheng Lansi's second uncle to die, but not to mention the news of Bai's death yesterday spread throughout the Sheng Mansion, and everyone up and down immediately suspected that it was Sheng Lansi's hand;

"The people from the Yamen came to the house this morning to say it. The noon sunlight was refracted through the water surface of the small pond, making the face of the sleeping crane facing the pond particularly bright, and it seemed to coat his long eyelashes with a layer of gold dust, and his eyes turned like fluttering butterfly wings, as if they were sprinkled with a little halo at any time.

But after all, he has only come back, and his feelings for the Sheng family, especially the feelings of people outside the big house, are far from being deep, and at this moment, the face illuminated by the water light is shining in the shadow of the wisteria flowers, but there is a careless wave between the eyebrows, taking a sip of tea, and said safely, "Originally, the third uncle should have gone to see them, but the third uncle didn't want to anger his grandfather and grandmother, so he tried his best to push this errand to his mother--but it was crooked, because if the third uncle went to see them, I am afraid that he might not be able to hear the meaning of the words--" The yamen suspected that this would be because the father and mother looked at the second uncle unpleasantly, and deliberately framed the second uncle. If it weren't for the fact that my father and mother were usually good to the second uncle, for the sake of prudence, they would have come to confirm that this time the second uncle would be beaten into a trick!"

Sheng Weiqiao was simply stunned when he heard this, and sat back for a while, eating, and said, "Daddy and mother...... How could it be that the second uncle was not pleasing to the eye? Even if it was, how could he set up such a conspiracy to take the life of the second uncle because he couldn't look down on the second uncle?

"Sister forgot that after our uncle passed away two years ago, Xuanyu family was fighting for family property?" Sheng Sleeping Crane just laughed, "Although I haven't come back at that time, I have heard about it at sea: there were not one or two people who coveted the position of head of the family at that time, and almost all of my cousin's uncles had supportive candidates, and none of them supported my cousin." If it weren't for the fact that my aunt was very skillful and suppressed those people, where would it be the turn of the Xuan Yu family to get my cousin to be the head of the family? A few days ago, Xuan Yu'e's family 'mistakenly swallowed' the broken intestine grass and died cleanly, it is said that the aunt is happy as if she was happy?

Since the Xuan Yu family is so sincere, the Sheng family, which is also one of the three powerful families in Nanfeng County, hopes that the eldest brother hopes that the younger brother will go to Huangquan as soon as possible, which is not surprising!

Sheng Weiqiao was so blocked that he had nothing to say, twisted his eyebrows, and glared at him viciously for a while before he slapped the case and shouted: "Since the second aunt was not harmed by the second uncle, what did a grandmother do yesterday to stop her from reporting to the official?!"

"This is naturally because my grandmother thought it was my second uncle who did it. Sheng Shenghe explained calmly, "Originally, the second aunt, as the hostess of the second room, was served by maids even in the inner room. Who knew that before noon yesterday, she suddenly took the initiative to send all the subordinates, and ordered not to go to the main house before the evening - you also know that the second aunt gave all the personal maids to the third sister a few days ago, and the maids who served her in the past two days were just promoted, and they didn't stay with her for a long time, so they naturally followed the rules, for fear of saying and doing wrong, and provoking the second aunt!"

So although these people felt that Bai's order was a bit strange, and guessed that she was going to see someone or do something, because they didn't dare to ask, they went to their own rooms after receiving the order.

In the evening, the two big maids on duty took the people and fetched water to serve in the main house.

Who knew that when I entered the door, I found that the Bai family was planted upside down in the small pond in the courtyard, and it had long since lost its breath!

The subordinates were so frightened that their souls were scattered, because Sheng Lansi was not in the house, they could only go to the eldest son Sheng Weide to report, Sheng Weide was also shocked, hurriedly went to the scene to take a look, and then went to the Forbidden Snow Hall to tell his grandfather and grandmother!

"Because the second aunt is a woman and drowned, it is inevitable that her appearance will be untidy, so my grandfather did not move, and only let my grandmother go to the second room to see. Sheng Sleeping Crane said this, "Then when the grandmother watched the second aunt be fished up from the small pond, she found that the second aunt was holding something tightly in her right hand. After breaking it open left and right, it was found that ...... It was a corner of the robe that the second uncle was wearing that day, and it looked like it had been torn off. ”

He paused and continued, "And the second uncle has not lived in the mansion for a few days, but he suddenly came back yesterday afternoon. Although the people in the second room were sent back to the room by the second aunt, they didn't see him. But the other subordinates in the house, especially the disciples of the corner gate, have seen the second uncle enter and exit. Menzi also told his grandmother that the second uncle was in a hurry when he left, and he didn't even have time to wipe it off with sweat on his forehead!"

In this situation, it's no wonder that Old Madam Ming thinks that Sheng Lansi has killed the Bai family!

Sheng Weiqiao exhaled and said contemplatively: "Since it wasn't the second uncle who killed the second aunt, who is the real murderer?"

"This is where the trouble is!" Sheng Sleeping Crane said troublesomely, but his expression was very flat, "The yamen interrogated the relevant subordinates overnight yesterday, and came to the conclusion that the second aunt was first drugged and then pushed down the pond. ”

After a pause, he showed a very subtle expression, "And at present, it seems that the most suspicious thing is that my grandfather only entered the mansion before his birthday, eighth sister!"

"This can't be!" Sheng Weiqiao shouted without thinking about it, "The eighth sister is an outer room girl, and the second aunt and sister Rao are very disgusted with her, how can the second aunt give her the opportunity to be drugged? Besides, how old is the eighth sister? She has never been out since she entered the Sheng Mansion, but where did she go to get medicine? Her biological mother is not in the mansion, and the second uncle doesn't pay attention to her, so she just asks for help, who will take on such a relationship for her?!"

The most important thing is, "Even if she takes 10,000 steps back, she managed to get the medicine and gave it to the second aunt, and then she can't have such a great ability to let the second aunt run into the small pond when the drug has a seizure, right?

"If it is said that the subordinates did it, it is still the same sentence: The eighth sister has no power and no power in the Sheng Mansion, but she just keeps it like that, where did she get the ability to let the subordinates work hard for her like this?!"

"At the age of the eighth sister, there must be a mastermind behind the scenes. Sheng Sleeping Crane bowed his head lightly and said, "But to say that she can't push the second aunt down the pond with her own strength, but it may not be - in fact, the yamen concluded that the second aunt was not killed by the second uncle, and the reason is here!"

Seeing Sheng Weiqiao's round eyes and staring at him without blinking, he was silent, and then resisted the urge to reach out and touch her head, and coughed dryly, "Do you remember the two pairs of new sika deer in our garden on the eve of your grandfather's birthday?"

"I heard Xiao Qiao mention it once, when I went to Hua Fei Lou yesterday to help Sister Rao pack up her things and move over, the person who served her said that in order to relieve Sister Rao's boredom, the second aunt specially asked for a pair from the garden to be raised outside Hua Fei Lou. Sheng Weiqiao said blankly, "But what does this have to do with the current matter?"

"Those two pairs of sika deer are trained to hold things. Sheng Sleeping Crane smiled lightly, "But the second aunt got a pair to the second room, and she was afraid of disturbing the placement of the third sister, so she didn't even lock it up in the small courtyard downstairs of Hua Fei, but tied it outside." The two pairs of deer are specially trained, and their temperament is very tame, even if they are close to the living, they will not shout or bark. ”

"So yesterday, after the second aunt sent away all the servants, she lost consciousness due to being drugged, and the eighth sister could quietly go to Hua Fei Lou to relieve a deer, lead it to the main house, and let the deer drag it to the small pond with the second aunt's clothes in her mouth!"

Although the strength of the deer cannot be compared with that of cattle and horses, since the Bai family was able to make Sheng Lansi not miss the knot, she was obviously a beauty, and she was not yet fully old, and her body could still be called light. The adult buck only dragged her from the house to the small pond in the courtyard, and it was fine.

Sheng Weiqiao's face changed drastically, and almost instantly thought of the silence inside and outside when he went to Hua Feilou to bring Sheng Weirao to Zhu Huan Xiaozhu, as well as Bao Makeup's sentence "They are well domesticated and never noisy".

She said in a slightly trembling voice for a while, "Is this speculation, or is it fact?"

If this is true-Sheng Weiqiao simply doesn't know what to tell Sheng Weirao in the future?

The sika deer that the biological mother got into the second room in order to relieve her boredom became an accomplice to the death of the biological mother!

Who can accept such a truth?

Especially Sheng Weirao has not recovered from the previous blow at all!

"The people of the yamen found traces of deer teeth biting from the placket of the second aunt's clothes. Because the sika deer was put into the garden to celebrate my grandfather's birthday, and the people in the yamen also came to the house to congratulate my grandfather on his birthday, so I knew that there were two pairs of deer in our house, so I became suspicious. Sheng Sleeping Crane picked up the cold tea, shook it at the light spot leaking above his head, put it down again, and said lightly, "After Fang Cainiang knew about this, she deliberately took them to the second room, but fortunately, after the second aunt was found yesterday, the soldiers in the second room were in chaos, and the maids who served the second aunt were locked up and sent to the yamen for interrogation, and the place was not cleaned up." With a little attention, I found the deer hoof prints in the room. ”

He didn't wait for Sheng Weiqiao to speak, and said, "Of course, the eighth sister must use the deer to get the second aunt out of the house and into the small pond. Even if others had the strength to do so, they could use the deer to direct the spearhead at the Eighth Sister - however, the Eighth Sister had snuck out of the house since midnight yesterday, and the maid who served her did not know where she had gone!"

Sheng Weiqiao bit her lip: "What about herself, maybe tell me where she went?"

She said she had gone into the garden, but at the time she said that none of the people in the garden had seen her. Sheng Sleeping Crane said calmly, "Actually, she has already confessed - she is full of hatred for the second aunt and the third sister because she was repeatedly beaten and scolded by the third sister after entering the door, and the second aunt deliberately tortured. ”

"So, when the second uncle's current new love found her, she didn't hesitate to agree to the Wu family!"

"......" Sheng Weiqiao didn't speak for a long time, she just didn't know what to say?

After taking a few deep breaths, she settled down and asked in a deep voice, "What did my mother say to Sister Rao alone last night...... You know what?"
