March is coming to an end in a blink of an eye, and April is spring.

There are finally fewer Yamen cases.

Two days after purification, one man came to beat the drum and voice the grievances.

"Who's coming?"

The woman reported to herself, she was the maid of the Xu family, the main lady was killed by the second lady, and the old lady was silent and wanted to bury the young lady quietly.

Master Li asked her what evidence she had to prove that she was telling the truth.

She was stunned, there was really no evidence to prove what the second lady did.

But not long ago, she heard the second lady talking to a servant, and in a trance she seemed to hear about the life and death of the eldest lady, they coveted the property of the master, the master only had two daughters, and the gold and silver would naturally be distributed to them as a dowry.

The dead lady is a concubine, she doesn't like to talk since she was a child, outsiders think she is deaf and dumb, but it's not, the loss of her mother since she was a child makes her heart slightly cold, her stepmother treats her badly, and her father doesn't like to talk because she doesn't like to talk, and she doesn't want to pay attention to it.

Master Li thinks that with just a few words, you can conclude that the second lady killed someone?

Besides, how could the lord not care?

She sobbed, over the years, the old man had made outsiders laugh at the fact that the eldest lady couldn't speak, and now that the eldest lady was gone, he was naturally relieved, and he didn't say it, but he wished it was like this in his heart.

Master Li sent Feng Chuan and Xiao Mu to Xu's house together.

Feng Chuan didn't like to be with Xiao Mu, so he had no choice but to walk back and forth.

Xiao Mu looked at her and joked, Ren Yongyu asked him if he liked Fengchuan a few days ago, and in order to be angry with him at that time, he said he liked it. Now I feel bad again.

"Feng Chuan, I actually like you."

If the maids of the Xu family didn't hear it, several officials would be in a trance. Opened his mouth wide in surprise.

This confession made Feng Chuan suspect that his ears had heard it wrong.

Stunned, he turned to ask, what did he say?

"I said I liked you!"

The atmosphere was extremely embarrassing, and Feng Chuan only pretended that he didn't hear it.

"Xiao Zhutou, I hope you can focus on investigating the case and don't think about other useless things."

Feng Chuan felt a little guilty in his heart, and he promised Brother Yu. Why is my heart still beating violently just now?

Along the way, Feng Chuan was nervous, why would the well-behaved Xiao Mu say such a thing? Didn't he remember the events of his previous life?

Go to Xu's house immediately. Feng Chuan suddenly opened his mouth and asked why.

"Like is like, why is it?" Xiao Mu spoke expressionlessly, Feng Chuan immediately bricked, she was not a woman who gave up from the beginning. Brother Yu treats himself very well. She doesn't want to be with this wood.

The Xu family was surprised when they saw Feng Chuan and others coming.

The old lady looked at each other and asked if they would let someone report to the official, and then said in unison no.

"Official, you are mistaken, you are not the official of our family."

Xiao Mu said solemnly, he is here to come.

"Your eldest lady has died, right?"

The old man looked at Xiao Mu and had to nod in acknowledgement. She immediately said that she hanged herself, "The child has been depressed and sluggish since he was a child." It's not ...... lately."

Saying that, the old man cried, saying that he likes his eldest daughter on weekdays, she is quiet, and someone came to the door a few days ago to propose marriage, but he didn't expect to be so thin that he committed suicide.

Feng Chuan didn't have time to think about anything else, and immediately asked Master Xu, how did he know that the eldest lady committed suicide?

After a few sighs, Master Xu muttered, isn't this person hanging there a suicide?

"Can you show us around?"

Feng Chuan said that he couldn't let him, so he entered the courtyard, and the old man and the lady looked at the little maid, like a thorn in the flesh, and they wanted to skin her alive.

She gritted her teeth in resentment and asked, is she talking nonsense?

"What? Madame doesn't want us to check? ”

Entering the eldest lady's house, the body has been put into the coffin and placed in the main hall, and her room is still the same as the incident.

The little maid trembled and didn't dare to look up at the old lady, looked at the approaching Fengchuan, and whispered that she hadn't moved.

A careful girl.

Feng Chuan couldn't help but think of the last time when the eldest lady died of illness, but the maid relied on the second lady.

This time she was not lacking in a little more thought.

The deceased was hanging from the beams of the house with an upside-down stool at his feet.

The house was clean and there were no signs of fighting.

"When did you find out that Miss was hanging?"

The little maid didn't think twice, after breakfast, she sent the plate out, and met the little maid on the way and said a few gossips. Half an hour later, the young lady died.

Feng Chuan picked up the stool and looked up at the end of the rope.

Exclaimed, "How tall is your young lady?" ”

The maid couldn't say clearly, she advocated letting Feng Chuan and the others go to see the young lady's body.

A servant went to take a look, and when he came back to pass the word, Miss Xu really didn't look high.

Feng Chuan calculated, this stool and the end of the rope are seven feet high, if the eldest lady commits suicide, how can she step on such a low stool?

In other words, if you use this stool to hang yourself, you may not be able to reach the rope at all.

Isn't this a joke, how can you hang yourself if you can't reach the rope?

The lady and the lord were dumbfounded, wondering who would do such a thing?

Everything was normal in the house in the morning, and I didn't hear any sound, how could this happen.

"I think she committed suicide, there hasn't been anyone in the house recently, how could he have killed her."

Xiao Mu is merciless, there is no one anywhere, isn't this all people? Everyone can kill someone, and everyone can be a murderer.

The old man took a few steps back and shook his head, no way, that's my daughter.

That's my own heart, how can I guess like that.

Feng Chuan concentrated on looking for clues in the house.

Xiao Mu looked at the old man's distorted face, and said lightly, has the eldest lady been unpopular on weekdays?

Madame crooked her mouth, her eyes were like a sharp sword, and she swept towards the little maid, "Don't listen to the dead girl's nonsense, I watched her approach to Ying'er in the mansion, maybe it was her hand." As she spoke, she covered her mouth with a handkerchief.

The maid retorted, not to talk nonsense, and then affirmed that the eldest lady did talk more to herself on weekdays, because other people in the house looked down on her and treated her badly.

"Don't go too far, what do you know as a maid, how we treat Ying'er, we naturally know in our hearts, everyone also knows, don't talk nonsense in front of the official, I think maybe it is your greed for money that will kill Ying'er."

Faced with the master's words, the maid naturally decided that they were wicked people and sued first.

The two parties argued, and finally Feng Chuan stopped, saying that there was no need to rush to push it to the other party, and he would know the truth after he found out.

Feng Chuan looked at the room carefully and looked at the maid, "The pot of calendula in the back room was raised by the young lady?" ”

The maid nodded, it was Miss's favorite flower, it was in bloom this season, and Miss moved to the back room if she liked it.

The maid looked at Feng Chuan and asked if she liked it too?

Feng Chuan looked at the vermilion lacquer table under the flower pot, hollow and carved, standing high aside. (To be continued.) )
