Shui Zhongyue couldn't believe that the maid in front of her Dingwang Mansion would say such a thing, how could Meng Gongzi be such a noble person, how could he do those lowliest rough jobs? In this way, doesn't it mean that Meng Gongzi's identity is the same as those dock coolies? Meng Gongzi is the younger brother of Princess Ding, and he is also the master of this maid, isn't the little maid guilty of talking like this?

Or I heard that Princess Ding and Meng Gongzi were not born by the same mother, and there will be some knots between sisters and brothers who are not born to the same mother, so Princess Ding did not take Meng Gongzi to heart, so wouldn't it be wrong for her to come on this trip?

But if they do not seek a princess, who can fulfill them?

The moon in the water was at a loss.

Green vine looked at Shui Zhongyue dressed in plain clothes, without powder, it is indeed a natural beauty, I feel pity, but people from different walks of life have different concepts after all.

Maybe in a land of heavy colors of fireworks, this water moon can show a little nobility when dressed like this, but in the real mansion, in fact, it is very taboo to wear this kind of plain makeup, and I like to wear it in my own home.

Green vine kindly reminded: "Miss Cheng, forgive me for being a maid to say more, if you are on someone else's house in the future, don't dress too plainly, this kind of dress, most people will only wear it when someone else's family does white things to go to the banquet, you are touching other people's moldy heads, and people don't like it." ”

Shui Zhongyue's face turned from red to white all of a sudden, she just didn't want to misunderstand people, or make people feel that the fat powder was too strong. That's why I wore this, I didn't expect to be taboo at this level, this maid said so and so, even if she wanted to beg for it again, she couldn't ask for it, and the dress touched other people's eyebrows, and then she didn't leave, it was more like deliberately blocking people.

In the end, Shui Zhongyue still left first with a full of unwillingness.

The princess is so powerful with a little maid, and the old ladies around the princess must be even more powerful, she really doesn't dare to stay in cheek.

"Miss......" The maid Xiaoping quickly caught up with the moon in the water and persuaded. Miss. Stop for a while, and the slave will hire a sedan chair for you. ”

When he first came, in order to show his sincerity, the moon in the water came on foot. Just put on a veil to cover his face. Rao is so. The demeanor trained in the Qinglou is not comparable to that of ordinary girls, and just a back can lead people to reverie.

In order to prevent accidents, the nurses of this Bibo Building have secretly followed and protected. This area is inhabited by high-ranking officials and nobles, but there are no long-eyed ruffians who dare to easily tease the young women walking on the street, these beautiful girls are even maids if not any young lady, and the gangsters on the street are very eye-catching, and will not easily provoke those who cannot be provoked. If you really want to flirt with women from good families, there are many good-looking small jasper in other neighborhoods, why provoke these people who are involved with high-ranking officials and nobles?

Shui Zhongyue didn't seem to hear Xiaoping's words, she was deeply hurt by the unkind words of the green vine, and she just wanted to quickly escape from this place that had frustrated her self-esteem.

"Miss, go this way." Xiaoping panted and followed Shui Zhongyue, although she was a little girl, she had never done physical work, and her body was not much stronger than that of a young lady.

Then after walking for a while, Shui Zhongyue looked at the alley in front of him, what kind of place is this? There is no road ahead.

Xiaoping looked around and said anxiously: "Miss, we are going the wrong way, let's go." ”

At noon, it was ten o'clock at the moment, just walking all the way, the street was lively, people came and went, I don't know when they started, they walked more and more remotely, in front of this dead end, a quiet, and the nurses who had followed them far away seemed to be gone, out of instinct, Xiaoping felt a little dangerous, and hurriedly helped the moon in the water to go out.

The moon in the water walked for a while, and the breath she had held earlier had already rested a little, and a little woman, who only walked to this remote and dark alley with a little maid, was a little scared, so she turned around and left as she said.

Just when he was about to leave the alley, Xiaoping heard what seemed to be movement behind him, and subconsciously turned around, but there was nothing, and he was about to continue walking forward, but found that the moon in the water stopped.

She couldn't help but say, "Miss, ...... quickly Yes! ”

Xiaoping let out a frightened cry.

Because she saw the most terrifying thing in this life, a sharp blade was inserted into Shui Zhongyue's chest, and blood gushed out, dyeing a large piece of the white clothes that Shui Zhongyue was wearing red, which was very terrifying.

Shui Zhongyue couldn't make any sound at all, her body slowly softened, and she looked at the knife on her chest in disbelief, as if she didn't believe that her life was lost so easily, obviously she still had so much hope before, hoping that Princess Ding could be moved by the love between her and Meng Gongzi, but she didn't expect that in the end, she didn't even see Princess Ding's face, and now she left this world inexplicably.

She was so unwilling, Shui Zhongyue was full of resentment before she died, she grabbed Xiaoping's hand tightly, her throat gurgled, she couldn't say anything, her beautiful face instantly distorted terribly, her eyes protruded, and she couldn't blink her eyes......

……

Yin Zhuying of Yancheng Mansion felt the scene of the crime for the first time.

The mouth of the alley was already surrounded by a large group of people watching the excitement, and Oiran died tragically in broad daylight in the small alley, without looking at the scene, Zhu Ying felt tricky.

This kind of case is actually very similar to the case involving the powerful, the Oiran in the Qinglou is all powerful, and presumably the people involved in this case will also be powerful.

The cause of death has already been identified, but in fact, there is no need to look closely at it, he was stabbed in the chest, and anyone can see that this is definitely murder.

At that time, there was a little girl who was almost stunned, and she was still incoherent, and she couldn't ask anything, so she looked at the scene environment.

Zhu Ying couldn't help sighing, I don't know what bad luck I have been doing recently, and the cases I have encountered are either cases that are clear at a glance but involve powerful people and are easy to rip off, or they are almost headless public cases.

It's a great place to commit murder, and it's in the middle of nowhere. There will not be too many eyewitnesses, unless the murderer deliberately let people see it, and then look at the murderous method of killing people with this knife, it is obvious that he is bent on taking people's lives, which is very likely to be the work of a well-trained killer.

If the killer had done it, it would have been estimated that he would have fled the city long ago, and even if he could find out the person with the motive for the murder based on some clues, it would be difficult to convict the person behind the scenes.

He is the Fu Yin, and the most headache is this type of case. And this case doesn't have to be ordinary. The impact is huge, there will be meetings and discussions on the streets and alleys, and the pressure to solve the case is huge.

After looking around the scene, Zhu Ying had a rough idea in his heart. I took the relevant people and others back first.

Return to the Yamen. The maid was ordered to appease the little maid. When the little maid calms down, she will ask for a confession.

The confession that came out of the inquiry made Zhu Ying feel a little more confident in his heart, don't look at this as a headless case. In fact, there are a lot of clues, and it is not difficult to solve the case, but the difficulty lies in how far it is to be solved.

At present, his biggest headache is that the first clue in this case actually points to the Dingwang Mansion and the Meng family.

On the surface, there are not many people who want the life of this Qinglou woman, but a Qinglou woman, who is usually easy to offend people, but if you say that you have to take her life if you offend it, there are very few.

Now the biggest motive is the Meng family, the son of the Meng family, Meng Guang, has an ambiguous relationship with this Qinglou woman, and the second elder of the Meng family is furious about this, and he temporarily expelled his son from the house.

It's just that this son has a marriage contract, or a holy decree to give marriage, not expelled from the house can be done, if the matter is not resolved, it will be a big trouble, and it will be troublesome to be covered by the well-fed imperial historian, and then look at the past actions of the Meng family, this family is not a good person.

The motive is there, but it is not enough to have a motive, Zhu Ying intuitively felt that the Meng family would not be so stupid, and killing this Qinglou woman would have too great an impact, even if there was no evidence to prove their guilt, but the gossip on the streets and alleys would definitely be inevitable, and it would have a great impact on Meng Ye's official reputation.

The same is true for Dingwangfu.

However, it is not yet possible to make a conclusive conclusion, sometimes the more impossible it is, the more likely it is, everything depends on the evidence, and the preliminary judgment can only be made after investigation.

In the first step, he summoned the ** of Bibo Building, Mother Hua and a few girls in the Qinglou.

As **, I must know more about the moon in the water, and this moon in the water is the biggest cash cow in their Qinglou, this ** should be paid special attention to, and the moon in the water has not offended anyone, or who hates the moon in the water, she should know something.

Mother Hua is worthy of being the ** in the Qinglou, although the incident happened suddenly, but she can still quickly pretend to be sad, it is estimated that it is a little true, after all, there is no cash cow, everyone will be sad, sad is sad, this ** words are not exposed flaws in the water, a clever mouth to praise the moon in the water is the sky and the earth, people love it, and the temperament is gentle, in short, there is no flaw at all, as for the girls in their Qinglou, they are sisterly with the moon in the water, there is no suspicion, and the guests who come to the Qinglou, It's too late to like the moon in the water, and it won't be a killer.

Mother Hua is cunning, and since there is no flaw in her words, Zhu Ying turned to interrogate others.

Not all of the girls in Bibo Building can talk like Mother Hua, or they are small, so there are not so many taboos when they speak.

From the mouths of those girls, Zhu Ying learned that the moon in the water is a person, although it is not as gentle and loved as Mother Hua said, but it is not difficult to get along with, but some lonely people appreciate themselves and are high, and if it is ugly, it is hypocritical, but he has not had any major conflicts with others, and he has no quarrels.

As for those who are secretly dissatisfied with Shui Zhongyue, there must be unhappy guests who are rejected, but the men who come to the Qinglou are like this, the more cold they are, the more likely they are to come forward and chase after them, so what do they really want because of one or two rejections, but no.

If it is said that the building has the greatest contradiction with the water moon, or the most entangled interests, there used to be a girl, named Crimson, who ranked only in the water moon in the blue wave building, if there was no water moon, this Crimson would have been to be an Oiran, and the difference between the first and second is big.

As an Oiran, Shui Zhongyue was sought after by a young man, and the second crimson suitor was secondary, most of them were wealthy businessmen, and finally they were wronged to be concubines with a businessman.

I heard that before Crimson left, she had a lot of unhappiness with the moon in the water.

This news did not make Zhu Ying take it too seriously.

No matter how much contradiction there is between the one named Crimson and the moon in the blue wave building, now that this woman has been married from a good person, how can she still hold a grudge and find a killer to kill someone, this case is not something that an ordinary little woman can do.

It's just that since someone said such a clue, he still has to ask Crimson to ask about it.

Qihong is not difficult to find, she lives in Yancheng, and after she comes, she is also refreshing, and she must answer questions, and it doesn't seem to have been carefully thought out in advance.

After Zhu Ying said a lot, he asked coldly: "I heard that before you left, you had some unpleasantness with Shui Zhongyue?" ”

Qihong was stunned for a moment, and then said: "No, my lord, who is listening to the ear, I have always been a good sister in the water, and I have never blushed." ”

"Really?" Zhu Ying lengthened his voice and expressed doubt. "According to this official investigation, your reputation in Bibo Building is second only to the Moon in the Water, as the saying goes, peers are enemies, not to mention that the Moon in the Water has entered the Bibo Building for a shorter time than you, but your fame surpasses you, you really don't mind at all?"

Crimson shook her head slightly, "My lord, if I were such a small-bellied person who didn't know the severity, I wouldn't choose Jia Gongzi now, as a woman, we have fallen into the Qinglou and have been more miserable than ordinary people's lives, if we still fight each other for a little profit, we would have died a long time ago without a place to be buried, just at that time in Bibo Building, I didn't fight with the moon in the water, would I still care about this after Congliang?" ”

This is reasonable, Zhu Ying also felt that this red motive was not big, just to deceive her, to see if she knew what others didn't know, so he asked again: "I heard that a few days before you left Bibo Building, there was a conflict with the moon in the water, what happened?" ”

Before opening, Qihong thought for a while and said: "Adults may have heard it wrong, to be precise, my maid Xiaomeng quarreled with Xiaoping, the maid of the moon in the water, the little maid is not sensible, common things, I have no conflict with the moon in the water, on the contrary, we also had a heart-to-heart that day, she was still a little unfair for me, and felt that I chose to marry a businessman wronged, but I think that the Meng Gongzi she was looking for is good, it is too good, and the son of the family is not worthy of women like us, as soon as he enters the Hou Gate, it is as deep as the sea, I advised her to be cautious, but she didn't listen......"
