The heroes were angry, and the condemners were numerous, and the two little girls were directly frightened.

Everyone not only persuaded Lu Li to leave and leave this matter alone, but also took advantage of the fear of the two little girls to separate the two and ask Zhou Xin, who didn't seem very smart, "Shang Qiaoqiao died, how much money did Shou'anbo Mansion give?" ”

Zhou Xin has no master of the six gods at the moment, and when others ask, he naturally subconsciously answers the truth, "Twenty taels." ”

"Xiao Xin-" Shang Minmin screamed Zhou Xin's name, but he didn't stop her from speaking. Of course, twenty taels is a fact, not that it cannot be said, but the current situation...... Shang Minmin vaguely understood that this was deliberate, and someone deliberately prevented her from avenging her sister, just like before!

"Yo, what are you stopping, it's obvious that you're empty-hearted."

Others seized Shang Minmin's hole, and the verbal attack was even sharper, "This is an admission!" I thought that the money given by the Bofu was small, so I showed my face and came out to make trouble! ”

"That is, Shou Anbo Mansion is such a big mansion, if you really do this kind of thing, it is only right to buy a large sum of silver, and only give twenty taels of silver, is it waiting for people to criticize? When all the masters and stewards of the house are fools and blind people! This is obviously because people haven't done anything wrong, so they don't want to spend money. ”

In the midst of everyone's passionate voices, there were once again words to persuade Lu to leave and let go of this matter.

"There are always some Diao people who are shallow-eyed, trying to bully good people and good officials, Mr. Gao Jie is righteous, don't go into the quagmire!"

"That's right, sir, Diao Min has always loved to pretend to be pitiful, sir, don't be unable to see through it!"

It's really heartbreaking.

Then there was the good deed, and began to ask Shang Minmin to fulfill his oath, "Didn't you say that if you are wrong, you will find a rope to hang?" Why haven't you moved yet? ”

……

The shape shì became more and more one-sided, more and more difficult, Shang Minmin couldn't, turned around and knelt down again towards Lu Li, "Sir, please believe me!" What I said is true! ”

When it comes to ancient times, the most difficult thing to accept is this kneeling ceremony at every turn, Lu Li sighed, "You get up." ”

Shang Minmin's head hit the ground heavily, tears fell to the ground, he didn't dare to get up at all, his lower lip bit out blood, and even his voice was a little broken, "What I said is true......"

"You get up first."

Shang Minmin was worried that Lu Li would be moved by others, so she stopped helping her, "Really, my sister really died a miserable death......

She didn't dare to say anything if Lu Li didn't agree, she didn't get up, she had nothing, nothing to repay, and seriously speaking, she didn't have the right to kneel here and beg Lu Li. Lu Li is just a pretend, not a cousin, it was she who heard that Lu Li was highly skilled and not afraid of power, so she cheekily begged for it...... It is her duty that others don't help her, it's love to help her, and everyone is noble, she just wants to have hope, and she can't let her sister die blindly......

Lu Li's personality is really as rumored, bold and kind, not afraid of power, there is finally hope for her sister's affairs, who knows that the scene has become like this! A group of people denounced her together, saliva can drown people, she can't tell the difference, and the only hope is that Lu Li believes her.

She looked up at Lu Li, with grievances, expectations, perseverance, and determination in her eyes......

Seeing all kinds of complex and profound feelings in the eyes of a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl, Lu Li was a little unbearable. A child of this age should not bear this.

Shen Wansha was also a little angry, pulled Lu Li's clothes, and asked in a low voice, "Someone did it on purpose, right?" ”

shouted loudly in the crowd, guessed Shang Minmin's intention to blackmail money, slandered Shang Minmin's character, arched the fire, prompted the two parties to fight with each other, made a gambling contract, and delayed time by the way......

After arriving at the merchant's yard, he once again guided the direction of public opinion on the grounds that the body was missing, determined that the little girl was blackmailing money, forced the little girl to hang herself, and at the same time persuaded Lu Li to leave and leave the case alone......

Shen Wansha boldly guessed that the corpse was probably the person behind the scenes who instructed the transfer, and those so-called neighbors who didn't stand up to speak for Shang Minmin probably also benefited, as for the errand officer, if it wasn't a coincidence, it was probably deliberately arranged.

It's fast enough......

A sneer rose at the corner of Lu Li's lips, "It should be." His guess was similar to Shen Wansha's. And about the corpse, some people say yes, there are people who steal money, steal things, and steal people these days, why do you steal corpses?

It doesn't seem to make sense. Since Shou'anbo Mansion returned Shang Qiaoqiao's body, it didn't matter if it was this corpse. But what didn't matter before suddenly becomes urgent now...... Are you afraid of his autopsy?

Worried that he could find out the cause of death of the deceased and find out the murderer by looking at the corpse? So when Shang Minmin went to the government to complain, did he really not see the specific cause of death of the deceased, or was he bribed?

Of course, there is also the possibility that Shang Minmin lied, and if she lied, the matter would be even more complicated......

There are a lot of questions inside, and Lu Li is very curious. At first, he was just moved by Shang Minmin's sadness to take over this matter, but now he wants to figure it out from the bottom of his heart.

……

"Shou Anbo Mansion?" Shen Wansha's big eyes flickered, and he touched his chin and looked into the distance, "It's a pity that I can't see which one is theirs." ”

"It's all small characters here," most of them are people who don't know the facts that they bought with money, and they can't see that it's normal, Lu Li's eyebrows are slightly raised, and the corners of his lips are slightly hooked, "Do you want to go to Shou'anbo Mansion to have a look?" ”

Shen Wansha's eyes lit up, "I'm going!" "It's better to go and see it!

The two discussed and made a decision in a whisper, Lu Li went to pull Shang Minmin, and Shen Wansha stepped forward, "Don't make any noise, don't make any noise, the noisy young master has a sore ear!" ”

Shen Wansha's identity momentum was there, everyone dared to confront the two little girls, but no one dared to shout at him, and the scene was suddenly quiet.

"What's going on, is it true, don't you know if you go to Bofu and ask?" Shen Wansha raised his chin and looked around arrogantly, "It's also worth your noisy face and thick neck?" ”

Some people are unwilling, "but ......"

"But what? Is it your family's business? Is it someone who died in your family? ”

"This ...... No. ”

"It's not a roadblock! Are you a cousin or an officer? ”

Neither......

The young master smashed a few words with a straight face, and no one dared to refute it anymore, and the crowd took the initiative to disperse and give up a reason.

Shang Minmin and Zhou Xin held hands, looking at the scene in front of them, they were almost stunned again.

Lu Li smiled slightly and asked the two little girls, "I want to go to Shou'anbo Mansion, do you dare?" ”

"Of course you dare!" Shang Minmin's voice was loud and firm, her sister died there, she wanted to avenge her sister, how could she not dare!

Zhou Xin looked at Shang Minmin, then at Lu Li, pinching the corners of his clothes, "I dare too...... Sister Qiaoqiao is really pitiful......" she flattened her mouth and looked a little lost, "I could have a sister-in-law's ...... soon"

Case...... Lu Li shook the corners of his robe neatly and strode forward, "Let's go!" ”

Shang Minmin bit his lip and took Zhou Xin's hand to follow.

Mr. Lu didn't reject her, she still has hope!

……

It was noon, the sun was warm, the warm breeze was slightly smoky, and Lu Li and his party walked through the long street and walked in the direction of Shou Anbo Mansion.

It just so happened that Shou'anbo Mansion was not far away, and Lu Li and Shen Wansha had already exercised out, they were not squeamish people, they didn't call a carriage, they just took everyone with them and walked.

So many people are quite conspicuous walking on the street, and the teahouses and shops on the street have exploded, especially those who didn't see Shang Minmin asking for help on the street before, and they immediately became excited: What's the matter!

The young master who started with a golden body can almost blind people's eyes, and even the hand is shaking a gold fan that will shine under the sun, the young master wears this gold, not only is he not vulgar philistine, but also the whole person's skin is like jade, and his spirit is flying, which is called a good look!

Such an obvious sign, the people of Shangjing can see it at a glance, isn't this the young master of the Shen Mansion! A rich man whose family is upside down and the house is paved with gold bricks!

As for the one next to him, tsk, even worse!

Fengshen is like jade, quite like a bamboo, with a warm temperament, a humble son, and the eyebrows and eyes like a painting...... Don't say it, can it be an ordinary person who can fascinate the enemies and ghosts of Hades! This figure, this temperament, and this beauty, I don't know how to describe it!

These two were with a group of people...... What is it for?

Everyone was very interested. Soon, there was news that I had encountered the case again!

The girl stopped people on the street and shouted a complaint, stopping King Ping's pet and suing the wealthy Shou Anbo Mansion...... As soon as it was spread, more people knew about it, and they watched it with relish.

It is difficult to find a few new things in the capital, Lu Li appeared, and quickly became King Ping's favorite pet, carrying with him the ability of autopsy and death, and together with the young master of the Shen family, he could hit a murder at any time...... Everything is worth paying attention to!

……

The group soon arrived at Shou An Bo Mansion. It's just that at the gate of this Shou Anbo Mansion, not just anyone can enter, and the onlookers have to be discouraged.

Lu Li and Shen Wansha took the people around them, and the two girls, Shang Minmin and Zhou Xin, opened the gate of Shou'anbo Mansion.

The porter trotted all the way, and before it was tea time, he took them to the living room in the outer courtyard, and it was Guo Yang, the prince of the world, who came out to meet the guests.

Guo Yang shook his body and bowed with a smile and Lu Li and Shen Wansha, "The two of you are really rare guests, I don't know what you have to do when you come to the house today?" ”

"When the young master came to your house, you didn't serve tea or order, and asked us directly what was the matter, did you want to drive people away?" Shen Wansha opened the fan in his hand, and squinted at Guo Yang with a smile, "I don't have anything to do with it, but if King Ping's heart is wronged by you, can you bear it?" ”

King Ping's heart is sharp......

Hearing this ambiguous, fox and fake tiger words again, Lu Li blushed a little.

However, these words are obviously very effective, as soon as Guo Yang heard the word 'King Ping', his face changed, and he enthusiastically guided the two of them to sit down, and called for a good tea to serve.

Guo Yang took a seat, Lu Li and Shen Wansha sat in the position of the next guest, and the people behind them, as well as Shang Minmin and Zhou Xin, were naturally not qualified to sit.

As soon as Shang Minmin saw Guo Yang's face, the raging anger burned in his eyes, and the strong hatred seemed to be able to turn into substance, and he couldn't wait to avenge his sister with his own hands and go up to strangle the black fat man. Zhou Xin's face turned white in fright, grabbed her hand fiercely, and shook her head vigorously to tell her not to move.

Shang Minmin also knew the occasion, looked at Lu Li and Shen Wansha, bit his lip and retreated silently, just glaring at Guo Yang with hatred.

Guo Yang smiled as if he hadn't seen it, and talked to Lu Li, Shen Wansha, and invited them to taste the new tea of Mingbofu......

After a cup of tea, Lu Li calmed down and slowly spoke, "Today's disturbance to your mansion is indeed an inquiry, and I hope that the prince will make it convenient for us to solve our doubts." ”

"Naturally, my uncle's house will do its best to help if you are busy!" The corners of Guo Yang's mouth were raised, "I don't know what troubles Mr. has?" ”

Lu Li didn't talk nonsense, looking at Guo Yang's eyes, "Dare to ask the prince, is there a maid named Shang Qiaoqiao in the house?" ”

Guo Yang shook his head, "No." ”

Shang Minmin immediately jumped out, "You dare to say no!" My sister has been a maid in your house for five years, and in the past year, she has been in charge of the study room in the outer courtyard, and often meets with the master, how can you not know! ”

"Who are you?" Guo Yang looked at Shang Minmin with a blank look.

Shang Minmin was even more angry, "I'm Shang Qiaoqiao's sister!" You killed my sister, do you still want to wipe out a qiē! ”

"How could I have killed your sister?" Guo Yang's expression was even more confused.

Lu Li knocked on the table, signaled Shang Minmin not to be too excited, and looked at Guo Yang again, "There is indeed no maid named Shang Qiaoqiao in your mansion, never?" ”

"Look at my brain," Guo Yang knocked his head with a smile, "Sir reminded me that there was indeed a maid named Shang Qiaoqiao in my mansion before, but this maid had been ransomed and left a few days ago...... So now in my house, there is no business skill. ”

"How many days ago?"

"I want to think about it...... It's going to be more than ten days. ”

As soon as Guo Yang's voice fell, Shang Minmin immediately retorted sharply, "You are lying!" My sister has been working in your house, and she has always wanted to redeem herself, but you have been holding back! And my sister had to go home on the tenth day of April, and returned to Bofu in the afternoon of the same day, and the body was sent back by your people on the second day, only four days from now, how could she leave Bofu more than ten days ago! ”

Guo Yang ignored her, as if he hadn't heard what she said, and asked Lu Li directly, "Why did Mr. mobilize the crowd and come to my house to inquire about the whereabouts of a subordinate, could it be this person...... What happened? ”

Lu Li's eyes raised slightly, and he looked at Guo Yang's expression, "Well, Shang Minmin said that her sister died in Bofu." ”

"How is this possible!" Guo Yang raised his eyebrows, his expression seemed to be very shocked, "She left the Bo Mansion with the deed of life more than ten days ago, and all the subordinates in my mansion saw it!" ”

Shang Minmin almost cried, "I just said, my sister has to go home on the tenth day of April, and she will return to Bofu in the afternoon, and her body will be -"

"Little girl," Guo Yang blocked Shang Minmin's words, squinting at her dangerously, "I pity you for being young and ignorant, so I don't care about you, you don't have to take an inch!" ”

"My sister is diligent and kind, and she died in your house for no reason, could it be that you are still trying to block the mouth of the world, and no one is allowed to say it!"

Guo Yang turned the teacup in his hand, and the corner of his mouth smiled sinisterly, "You are close to your sister, and you think that your sister will not lie to you, everything is right...... In fact, your sister's hands and feet are not clean, and she is used to being in love, and she is not the person you imagined. ”

Shang Minmin's face instantly swollen red, "Impossible!" ”

Zhou Xin finally had the courage to refute at this time, "Sister Qiaoqiao is not that kind of person!" ”

……

Lu Li pressed his hand down, motioned for the two little girls to be quiet, and asked Guo Yang, "What does Shizi mean—"

"Shang Qiaoqiao was born in a poor family, and her eyelids are very shallow, but whenever there is anything better, the master doesn't pay attention to it, and the subordinates are not optimistic, so she takes it. Because his family was poor, he signed a deed, and what he stole was not anything of much value, so he was treated as a helper in the house, and he didn't care much. It was only last month that she didn't know what was going on, so she took all the private rooms of the maid in the same house, and the maidservant sued her, and the matter could not be reassessed, so we returned her deed and ordered her to leave the house. ”

Guo Yang's voice was soothing, and his expression was gentle, "Bofu has always treated the next one leniently, and only let Shang Qiaoqiao return the silver money to the maid in the same house, and did not impose a strong punishment, but after that, Bofu didn't know where this person went." ”

Shen Wansha rolled his eyes. Maybe what Guo Yang said is true, Shang Qiaoqiao has indeed left Bofu a long time ago, but Bofu is lenient and ...... What about liars! These high-ranking families are the most strict in the management of their subordinates, and it is impossible for them to do wrong things, not to sell or play the board, and to return the deed to order them to leave.

Zhou Xin subconsciously followed Guo Yang's words and asked, "Where did Sister Qiao go?" ”

"No, it can't be!" Shang Minmin bit her lip, her eyes revealing stubbornness, "My sister is not that kind of person, you must be lying!" ”

Guo Yang squinted his eyes and shouted outside, "Please come over, Manager Li." ”

After he gave the order, he explained to Lu Li, "Manager Li is the head of the inner and outer courtyards of the house, and he knows the affairs of his subordinates best. Maybe I'm busy on weekdays, and I don't remember some things clearly, so I can call him and ask. ”

……

Mr. Li's surname is Li Zhengzhen, in his forties, with an ordinary appearance, a reddish nose, a calm and rigorous temperament, and a pair of extremely wide hands. After he came in, he saluted seriously, and heard Guo Yang say that Lu Li and the others came for Shang Qiaoqiao, and there was a slight dissatisfaction on his face, and he talked about Shang Qiaoqiao.

His words are consistent with Guo Yang, but when describing Shang Qiaoqiao's person, he is more detailed. For example, she likes to have a strong wind with the maid in the same room, and she will have what others have, but if she doesn't, she will make trouble; For example, she is very good at greeting, likes to show her face in front of her master, pretends to be weak and aggrieved, and she can get the errand of being in charge of the utensils in the study of the outer courtyard, but also because she has used some means in front of the master, so that the master looks at it differently and deliberately allows this difference.

There are more other trivial things, and I can't finish saying a few words, anyway, in the eyes of Mr. Li, Shang Qiaoqiao is useless, and it is not at all the same as the beautiful, hard-working and kind girl described by Shang Minmin.

Shang Minmin couldn't take two steps back and shook his head, "This can't be...... That's impossible! ”

"How impossible! Everything I said to you is right, I have been lying, you are poor, are you reasonable! Guo Yang impatiently slammed the teacup on the table, his face was gloomy, and it was obvious that he was really angry, "Call all the people who are close to and familiar with Shang Qiaoqiao on weekdays, and talk about this Shang Qiaoqiao's behavior, let this girl listen!" ”

……

Steward Li moved quickly, and in less than a pillar of incense, the corridor in front of the courtyard was full of people. Steward Li pointed at people at random, and asked people to talk about Shang Qiaoqiao's person, when he left Bofu, and why he left.

The words that everyone said were roughly the same as those of Steward Guo Yang Li, but some of the details were not quite the same......

It looks very real.

If it weren't for Zhou Xin's support, Shang Minmin almost fell to the ground. Her face turned pale and she muttered, "No...... No way...... My sister is not that kind of person......"

"You said you were Shang Qiaoqiao's sister, but have you ever heard her mention the acquaintances you do together?" Steward Li asked slowly.

"Yes, yes!" Shang Minmin's eyes lit up, "Mother Liu in the big kitchen, and Hongxiu in the inner courtyard...... My sister said that they were all good people and took good care of her. ”

"Good." Steward Li stood on the verandah and asked, "Mother Liu, where is Hongxiu?" ”

A middle-aged woman with a slight figure and a handsome sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl stood up, "The slave is here." ”

Steward Li pointed at Shang Minmin, "She said that you two take care of her sister a lot, you guys, what kind of person is her sister Shang Qiaoqiao?" ”

The middle-aged woman hung out of the corner of her eyes and stared at Shang Minmin, "Are you Shang Qiaoqiao's sister?" ”

Shang Minmin felt that something was wrong, but he still nodded, "Yes, my name is Shang Minmin." ”

"A month ago, your sister stole 300 yuan from me, and after I caught her, she cried and knelt down for me, saying that my sister was sick at home, and the medicine was very expensive......" The woman stretched out her hand in front of Shang Minmin, "Now I see that you are also fine, pay back the money!" ”

"I didn't ...... I didn't ......" Shang Minmin was nervous for a while, not knowing whether to say that she was not sick, or not to know about it, or to refute that her sister was not such a person.

Hongxiu snorted coldly and walked over, "Shang Qiaoqiao said that he will have a lot of money in a few days, what's the matter, now that he has a lot of money, come and repay the love of our sisters?" ”

"You, you ......" Shang Minmin opened his mouth, speechless. They are good people in the mouth of their sisters, but they say such things......

Until now, after experiencing all kinds of doubts, Shang Minmin has been extremely tired, these words are like the last straw that pressed on her, and she was desperate. She still believes in her sister, but everyone says that her sister is wrong, and no one says that her sister is good......

Can she still avenge her sister? Where is my sister's body now? If she hadn't insisted on suering, she could at least bury her sister in dignity in person...... The people don't fight with the officials, did she do something wrong!

She bit her lip and squatted down with her head buried in her arm, crying bitterly.

Guo Yang waved everyone back, "What, it's justified for you to cry?" Your sister is a person behind a set, you didn't know before, now we tell you the truth, you should be grateful! ”

He sighed impatiently, and turned his head to look at Lu Li and Shen Wansha, "This farce should also be over!" ”

Lu Li's eyes drooped slightly, and he let out a long breath.

At this point, the matter has reached an impasse, the facts are not clear, Shou Anbo is a family with a reputation and status, and there is a lot of talk in the house...... It was not easy for him to continue to ask, nor did he offer to inspect Shang Qiaoqiao's room. And no matter whether Shang Qiaoqiao is dead or alive, there is probably no trace of her in Shou Anbo's mansion.

But I'm still a little unwilling......

After a moment's hesitation, the porter suddenly ran over and reported the news, "King Pingping...... King Ping is here! ”
