The girl's eyelashes were covered with tears, and her teeth were clenched on her lower lip, looking pitiful and hidden. Shen Wansha couldn't bear it, but he still sighed lightly and said slowly, "I'm really not Lu Li, he is." ”

Shang Minmin was stunned and looked at Lu Li, who had a handsome face and a warm temperament, like a god descending, and cried, fell to the ground with his head on the ground, and his voice was sad, "The folk girl Shang Minmin...... My sister Shang Qiaoqiao died in the cannibalistic uncle's mansion, the powerful covered the sky with one hand, and the grievances of the people and daughters had nowhere to sue...... Ask Mr. for mercy, help the folk girl to examine the body of her sister, and bring the murderer to justice! ”

The little girl looked beautiful, but her eyes were swollen into peaches, and her voice was hoarse, and the tears wet a small patch of ground in front of her, and the blood stains on her forehead were mixed with dust...... To be honest, it's not good-looking, and it's very wolf.

But the deep grief soaked deep in her bones, and she exhaled in the cry of blood and sorrow...... Any man with a little blood will not be able to bear it.

Lu Li sighed lightly and stretched out his hand to the little girl, "You get up and speak." ”

Shang Minmin didn't dare to take Lu Li's hand at all, as if he was particularly afraid of Lu Li's refusal, so he continued to kowtow with his lips shaking, "Please, sir...... Mr. Ask for help...... Help the people's girls ......"

The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became tense, and there were those who couldn't bear it, and shouted loudly, "Sir, do me a favor, the little girl is so pitiful!" ”

……

Shang Minmin's body trembled, she liked others to speak for her, and she was worried about upsetting Lu Li, so she didn't know what to do for a while, so she only continued to kowtow sullenly.

Shen Wansha had a headache, "I said this girl, can you ...... Let go of my feet first? ”

Whether this girl talks or kowtows, she clung to his legs! Obviously, they all saw Lu Li, and they also begged seriously, can you spare the young master!

Shang Minmin's body stiffened, and immediately let go of Shen Wansha's feet as if he was burned, took two steps back and kowtowed to Shen Wansha to apologize, "The people's daughter is too sad, she doesn't know how to be rude, please don't blame the young master!" ”

Lu Li sighed, pulled Shen Wansha over, smoothed the corners of the young master's clothes, and told Shang Minmin to get up, "The young master won't mind." ”

Shen Wansha felt that he was greatly frightened today, and his heart palpitated, so he hid half of his body behind Lu Li, and said to the little girl on the ground: "I'm not angry with you, if you have anything to say, you can get up and say it!" The little oak man is the best, and if what you say is true, he won't look at it. ”

Shang Minmin raised his little face, his eyes lit up, "Really? ”

Lu Li's jaw bowed, "You get up." ”

Shang Minmin stood up at this time. Probably knowing that she looked like a wolf now, she was afraid of staining the eyes of the nobles, so she turned around and patted the dust on her knees, took out a handkerchief to wipe her face, and roughly tidied herself up before turning around and saluting Lu Li and Shen Wansha Shenfu, "The folk girl Shang Minmin, I have seen Mr. Lu, Shen Gongzi." ”

Lu Li accepted this gift dignifiedly, "Tell me about your grievances." ”

"The people's girl lives in the wick alley of North Street, and she has an older sister ......"

Shang Minmin said what he had said to Shen Wansha before, and he bit his lower lip tightly, and he couldn't hold back his crying.

After hearing this, Lu Li was quiet for a moment before asking, "How does the Bofu explain the death of Shang Qiaoqiao?" ”

"I said I had a sudden illness......

"How can you be sure that she was killed by someone else and not died of a sudden illness?"

"My sister returned home on the tenth day of April, and returned to Shou Anbo Mansion on the same day, and on the afternoon of the second day, my sister's body was sent back by the people of Bofu...... What kind of sudden illness can make a big living person die thoroughly in one day and one night, and he doesn't even have time to see his family for the last time! Shang Minmin's eyes were filled with tears, "And my sister has been in good health since she was a child, and she has few illnesses, so it is impossible for her to suddenly get ...... of sudden illness."

When Shang Minmin spoke, Lu Li kept observing her, the little girl's grief was real, and her hatred for Bofu was also true, but when she said these words, she bit her lip harder, and her eyes flickered slightly...... Either there are lies in it, or there are unfinished words, and it is difficult to say it now.

In fact, it is not uncommon for a normally 'healthy' person, or a seemingly 'healthy' person, to die suddenly due to an underlying disease or dysfunction. Lu Li can cite many examples, such as diseases of the cardiovascular system, respiratory system, central nervous system, digestive system...... Wait a minute.

Shang Minmin's grief is lamentable, but he still has to speak with facts.

Lu Li asked Shang Minmin again, "You said that you went to sue the official, can the government have an autopsy?" ”

"Yes."

"What's the conclusion?"

"It is said that it is a sudden death, the cause is unknown, it may be a sudden illness, or it may be other stimuli, such as ...... Choke to death if you eat the wrong thing. Shang Minmin's face was slightly red, "My sister is the most dignified and polite, how can she be choked to death without paying attention to eating!" ”

"How long has Shang Qiaoqiao been dead?"

"Three days," Shang Minmin heard Lu Li's voice, and immediately wiped away the tears on his cheeks, "I have taken good care of my sister's body, if it is convenient for Mr., I can inspect it immediately." ”

Lu Li did have this intention. The corpse would tell him a lot of information, sometimes more carefully than listening to it, "like ......"

At this moment, someone suddenly interjected, "Bofu is powerful and powerful, how can he bother to kill a nameless maid and make such a fuss?" Little girl, you don't want to extort money! ”

The voice was shrill and smooth, with obvious doubts, and suddenly burst out when everyone was quiet, which could be described as harsh.

Shang Minmin immediately turned his head and shouted in the direction where the voice came from, "I didn't!" He looked extremely angry.

It's a pity that after the person who spoke said this, he quickly got into the crowd and stopped coming up, and Shang Minmin couldn't find anyone to confront him. And this person's words also brought other directions, and soon some people questioned, "Yes, what good is it for Bofu to make such a big fuss?" Bofu really wants to bully a little girl who has no father, no mother, no power and no power, what tricks are there, can you let you wander? ”

……

Before, Shang Minmin begged Lu Li to help with the autopsy, describing it as pitiful, and everyone almost immediately stood on her side, hoping that Lu Li would help. If Lu Li and Shen Wansha didn't help, or even pushed it off slightly, everyone would probably question their character, but now that they agreed to help, Shang Minmin got what they wanted, and everyone didn't expect much except curiosity and wanting to continue watching the excitement.

Now that someone has poked out this direction, a small number of people who are not so pure in mind have naturally begun to think about it......

Human nature is like this, no matter ancient or modern, time and space, as long as it is human, it is the same.

With the emergence of such a voice, slowly, public opinion began to favor Shou Anbo Mansion, and more and more people began to think that Shang Minmin was rude and troublesome. She is to Bofu, just like ants are to elephants, elephants are easy to trample on ants, and they can't even make a splash, today's result must be that Shang Minmin's mind is not pure, and he intends to blackmail Shou Anbo Mansion with the death of his sister.

"I don't think the money given by Bofu when my sister died!"

"Or do you want to take a handle, step on my sister's corpse to get on the throne, go to the house to be an aunt or something, and fly on the branches to be a phoenix?"

……

Shang Minmin couldn't find anyone who started talking, and he couldn't speak so many mouths by himself, and the more he shouted, the more painful his throat became, and he could barely speak in the end...... The little girl was aggrieved, squatted down, buried her head in her arms, and cried.

She cried so badly that Lu Li could see the tears in her eyes smashing the dust on the ground......

Shen Wansha shrank behind Lu Li again, "It's scary for a woman to cry...... "How much water is in this body......

The scene was chaotic, the sound was noisy, Lu Li felt that he might not be heard by others, so he simply went over and dragged Shang Minmin up.

Shang Minmin covered his face, "What I said is true...... I'm not lying...... I didn't want to slander anyone......"

"Take me to see your sister's body," Lu Li's voice shrank slightly, "Dead people don't lie, whether she died of a vicious disease or someone else deliberately killed her, you can tell at a glance." ”

Shang Minmin nodded repeatedly.

Lu Li looked around the week, "Before the facts are clear, the argument is useless, everyone can take a break first, wait for the truth to be revealed, and then decide who to scold." ”

These words were a little cold, and they seemed to have thorns, but his identity was not bad, and there was a young master of the Shen Mansion standing next to him...... The onlookers were stuck for a while, and they didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore, "I'm waiting for Mr. Autopsy!" ”

"That's right! Waiting for the results! ”

"If the little girl's sister is really killed, and the prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people, let's apologize to the little girl, and we can also write a letter to the people to ask for her life!"

"Exactly! If the little girl is full of nonsense, and intends to use this matter to blackmail...... Don't apologize to Mr. Lu, Mr. Lu has a noble character, and he can't tolerate such people to be defiled, so he will directly send her to prison, and don't come out to harm others in this life! ”

……

Shang Minmin's eyes were on fire, and he jumped in front of everyone, his teeth clucking, "Just as you said!" If my sister dies unjustly, please help the little girl get justice; If I, Shang Minmin, talk nonsense and have selfish intentions, don't go to prison, I will immediately find a rope to hang myself, and I don't have to live! ”

"Although I, Shang Minmin, am not a man, I also know that I am worthy of heaven and earth, and I am worthy of my conscience! If I have selfish intentions, I will be thundered five times in the sky, and I will die without a place to be buried, and my soul will float in the wilderness, and I will never be able to live beyond the heavens! ”

The little girl is sexy, and as soon as these words came out, the scene was quiet at the same time.

Later.

"Alas, there is no need to ...... like that"

"Who just spoke and bullied other little girls?"

"How old is the little girl, it is estimated that she is not thirteen years old, so forced, not sorry!"

"At such a young age, if you really want to do something wrong, can you change it......"

……

The atmosphere changes so fast...... Lu Li frowned slightly, and his eyes circled the scene again.

Shen Wansha stretched his neck and glanced at it a few times, "Why do I think something is wrong...... as if someone is deliberately guiding the direction and confusing people's minds.

Lu Li retracted his gaze, patted Shen Wansha on the shoulder, and turned his head to call Shang Minmin, "Lead the way in front of your head." ”

Shang Minmin answered, and walked in the direction of her house with Lu Li and the others. The crowd in the audience was fine at the moment, and they were not so busy, so they followed out of curiosity.

……

The wick alley was a little far away, and there was nothing to say halfway, Lu Li suddenly asked Shang Minmin, "Do you want to say something to me?" ”

Shang Minmin looked back at the back, and saw that the person who came with him was just falling far away, and he shouldn't have heard the sound, so he turned his head and whispered to Lu Li, "Sister her...... She's been insulted! ”

There is such a thing! Shen Wansha was quite surprised.

"Because it's a matter of the reputation of my sister, the little girl didn't dare to say ......it," Shang Minmin printed the corner of his eyes and explained, "My neighbor to the east of my family is surnamed Zhou, and he has a son and a daughter, who are exactly the same age as my sisters. Zhou's parents died early, and his father was kind, although he was not very capable, but he took pity on the loneliness of the children, so he raised them together, and because of this, the poverty situation in the family has not been improved......"

"My sister and my brother of the Zhou family are childhood sweethearts, growing up together, although they have not made a marriage contract, but they have already understood each other's minds, and the brother of the Zhou family has been waiting for my sister to redeem herself and leave the Bofu, who knows...... The little woman didn't want to hurt people's hearts, so she hid the matter and didn't mention it to outsiders......"

Shang Minmin said that on the afternoon of April 11, she was doing embroidery under the window, and the people from Bofu suddenly carried Shang Qiaoqiao's body in, saying that Shang Qiaoqiao was suddenly sick and died. There was no compassion on their faces, and their clothes were not shy about it, and some of them wore red belts around their waists. put Shang Qiaoqiao's body in the courtyard at will, and the two threw down twenty taels of silver, warned her not to talk nonsense, and left.

Shang Minmin couldn't help himself with grief, and cried fiercely for a while before coming back and tidying up Shang Qiaoqiao's remains. Shang Qiaoqiao was wearing the same clothes as when he returned home from Xiu Mu yesterday, there were blood stains under his skirt, except for the injuries on his lower body, there were no scars on his face and body, and he couldn't see how he died at all......

Shen Wansha's eyebrows furrowed, and he wanted to ask if he did too much of that kind of thing to die, but Shang Minmin was too young, and he was a little embarrassed to ask this kind of question.

Shang Minmin seemed to understand his expression, his face was slightly red, and his head was tilted to one side, "Although my sister has been injured, she doesn't look strict, and it is impossible to die." ”

"So you suspect that Shang Qiaoqiao's death is related to the prince of Bofu." Lu Li groaned.

"Who dares to make a move on his subordinates, but the master!" Shang Minmin bit her lip, "My sister has always been well-behaved, and the maids in the courtyard come and go every day, and I am not familiar with the little maids, and in recent years, my sister has been promoted, specializing in the study furnishings, and the study is used by the masters!" ”

"Based on this alone, it can't be said that the murderer is the son of Shou'an."

"The rules of the Bofu are strict, it is impossible to tolerate people committing crimes indiscriminately, if the sister is not killed by the master, who can it be?" Shang Minmin almost burst into tears, "That Shou An Bo Shizi is a greedy and lustful person, and there have been several times when my sister came back with a restless look, mentioning that she might be targeted by the prince, so I suspect it!" ”

"This is possible......" Shen Wansha smacked his tongue slightly, then Guo Yang is indeed not a good thing.

……

Several people were talking, and soon arrived at Shang Minmin's house.

Shang Minmin pushed open the door and guided a few people in, "Please-"

Lu Li went in and looked around. The yard is not big, but it is very clean, there are a few peach trees planted in the yard, and a few pots of flowers and plants are placed in front of the window, which feels very vivid and energetic......

It's just too quiet.

"Xiao Xin-Xiao Xin-I've invited my husband!" Shang Minmin ran to the front of the hall with some eagerness, "I can stretch for my sister-"

The words came to an abrupt end.

After that, there was a heart-rending cry and scream, "Xiao Xin, Xiao Xin, what's wrong with you!" What about my sister, sister—"

Lu Li and Shen Wansha glanced at each other, not good! The two of them hurried to the main hall.

The main hall is hung with a white cloth, and there is a coffin parked in the hall, and an offering table is placed in front of the coffin, and offerings such as fragrant fruit and snacks are placed on the table, and there is a small incense burner. The incense stick in the incense burner had probably just been burned, and Lu Li could see a little red silk in the incense ash, and there was faint white smoke rising.

But there was no one in this coffin!

There was a little girl lying in front of the coffin, the little girl was about the same age as Shang Minmin, and now she was called by Shang Minmin in her arms, her mouth and eyes were closed, her face was pale, and she didn't know if she was dead or alive......

Lu Li's heart turned sharply, and he immediately squatted down, pinched the little girl's pulse, and went to probe her snort.

It's good, still alive, just fainted.

"Lay her flat."

Lu Liku joined in to check the little girl's body, and saw that there was a red and swollen bruise on the back of her neck, and judged that she should have been knocked unconscious. He pinched the little girl's middle girl, but the little girl didn't wake up, so he crushed the Suhexiang pill he was carrying with him and handed it to the little girl's nose......

If the little girl is not awake, he will probably take another Suhexiang pill for the little girl to swallow. Fortunately, the little girl woke up.

"Xiao Xin!" Shang Minmin burst into tears, hugging the little girl and crying.

"Minmin?" The little girl's eyes had focus, her consciousness returned, and she cried, "Minmin someone beat me!" ”

Shang Minmin cried for a while, carefully touched the little girl's body, checked that the little girl was fine, and introduced it to Lu Li and Shen Wansha, "Her name is Zhou Xin, and she is the next-door neighbor I mentioned before." Today, the brother of the Zhou family is busy, so I asked Xiao Xin to help keep the wake for my sister, and I went to look for an opportunity to ask my husband to ......"

Shang Minmin quickly finished speaking, and asked Zhou Xin urgently, "What about my sister?" Where is my sister? ”

"Where else can my sister go, isn't it in-ah-" Zhou Xin cried again, "Sister...... Where did my sister go? ”

Shen Wansha felt that he heard the woman cry this day, and he had a headache from crying, so he persuaded patiently, "Don't worry, tell me what you were doing before and what happened?" ”

"I've been keeping my sister's spirit all along, and suddenly I have a pain in the back of my neck, and I don't know anything......" Zhou Xin grabbed Shang Minmin's sleeve in a panic, "Someone came over, knocked me unconscious, and stole my sister's body!" ”

……

Lu Li and Shen Wansha did not come alone, they came with them, as well as some of the people who watched the excitement at that time. Now when I went into the yard and saw the two little girls asking and answering, someone shouted, "What's the matter, the body is gone?" ”

"In these years, there have been people who steal money and steal people, and I have never heard of stealing corpses!"

"What did someone else steal from a dead man? It's not like you're lying, but now you're exposed......"

Shang Minmin was magnificent, shook his sleeves and stomped his feet, "I didn't lie, my sister was really killed by Bofu, I just want to get justice for her, if there is no such thing, what will I do!" ”

"yes, what are you fussing about?" Someone said coolly, "Do you have a fancy for the wealth of Shou Anbo Mansion, or do you have a grudge against Shou Anbo Mansion, and if you can't get it, you have to peel off a layer of skin?" ”

"I didn't!" Shang Minmin's tears swirled in his eyes.

Zhou Xin was also anxious, "Sister Shang was indeed killed, the body is still there just now, and I have been guarding it!" ”

"What about people now?"

"Stolen!"

"Stolen...... Are we so stupid that we can't even hear such lies! ”

The onlookers felt deeply insulted. When the street made a gambling contract with Shang Minmin, they were still a little unbearable, but they didn't expect this girl to be really deceitful!

Shen Wansha felt disobedient again, and tugged at the corner of Lu Li's sleeve, "Little oak-"

"Hmm......" The corners of Lu Li's lips were slightly hooked, and there was a fine light shining in his eyes, "It's very interesting." ”

"Interesting?" Shen Wansha looked at him in surprise, the scene was so chaotic, how could it be interesting?

Lu Li's index finger was put between his lips, signaling him not to speak and to take a good look. The young master blinked, pursed his lips and didn't speak, looked at the courtyard curiously, and at the same time pondered what was interesting about his little friend's words?

……

Soon, someone shouted in the crowd: Is there any body of your sister here, just ask your neighbors!

Shang Minmin agreed, and immediately knocked on the doors of the surrounding neighborhoods with Zhou Xin.

As a result, the neighbors said: Shang Minmin does have a sister who works as a maid in Shou'anbo Mansion, and Shang Minmin did say that her sister died in the past two days, but is the corpse ...... None of them watched. Shang Minmin had no intention of holding a funeral, and they didn't want to come to the door to ask, so they didn't know if there was a corpse or not, and whether it was Shang Qiaoqiao.

Shang Minmin bit his lip, his big eyes were full of tears, "I didn't do the funeral because I wanted to get justice for my sister first!" ”

Others didn't listen to her explanation, anyway, it was impossible to say whether there was a corpse or not.

Shen Wansha leaned over and whispered to Lu Li, "Didn't you say that you went to the government to file a complaint?" Just ask the government and you'll know, the government will definitely not lie. ”

Before he finished speaking, someone asked the same question as Shen Wansha.

It happened that someone in the audience knew the official in the official mansion, and the official lived not far from the merchant, so he was very enthusiastic to go over and invite, and soon the messenger came over to see Shang Minmin, saying that this girl had indeed sued, and she also had a corpse.

But they didn't know Shang Minmin, and no one except Zhou Xin testified that the deceased was Shang Qiaoqiao, so he couldn't be sure......

Soon, someone said conclusively, "It must be this Shang Minmin who wanted to blackmail Shou Anbo Mansion, and his sister came up with this ghost idea, and also pulled in the close neighbors of the Zhou family, as well as the corpse that I don't know where to find it, and made this bureau!" ”

"That's right! I'm going to get something good, and everyone will share it together! ”

Shang Minmin was extremely sad, and his eyes almost wanted to shed bloody tears, "Then you say, where is my sister now!" How can I curse my family to death! ”

"Maybe your sister is hiding in the shadows, ready to command at any time!"

"If you can't do anything for money, don't say that the curse family is dead, it doesn't matter if you pretend to be dead!"

A group of people turned their eyes to Lu Li, "Mr. Lu, you are skilled and have a pure character, don't be deceived by this girl!" ”

"It's just that such a person is not worth helping!"

"If you tell a big lie, I want to hook you with this miracle, and you will be fooled!"

……

The heroes were so angry that their saliva could spurt out far away, Shen Wansha looked at this scene in shock, and his jaw almost fell.

Lu Li patted the young master's shoulder, "How is it, isn't it interesting?" ”

Some people say there are corpses, some say they don't, and now the corpses can't be found...... Who the hell is lying?
