Zhao Shu subconsciously played with a spear, he liked to see Lu Li's current appearance. But Lu Li saw that he was deliberately teasing himself, showed his small teeth and barked at him, raised his feet and walked out.

Zhao Zhu didn't want to really mess with people, so he said leisurely, "Dongxue." ”

Lu Li's eyes lit up, "You know I want to go to her?" ”

"The key people in this case are all actively jumping, and there is more and more relevant information, but only this maid who first appeared at the scene of the crime returned home due to illness." Zhao Shu looked at Lu Li quietly, with a hint of warmth in his eyes, "There is a very mysterious situation around Yu Tianyi, and the Zhong family has controlled enough subordinates, if Dongxue doesn't know, or doesn't know much but is disobedient, the people above will be taboo." ”

"But she can live, either as an accomplice, or because she doesn't know enough to threaten the master behind the scenes. If it's the former, we may have a lot to gain here, and if it's the latter......" Lu Li didn't finish speaking, with anticipation in his eyes, "I hope it's the former." ”

Zhao Shu pinched Lu Li's face, his slender eyes were full of smiles, and his voice reminded in a low voice, "Maybe there will be a third situation." ”

"The third scenario?" Lu Li tilted his head slightly, quietly looking at Zhao Zhu's eyes, a little incomprehensible...... Suddenly, his eyes flashed, a bright smile bloomed, his beautiful little tiger teeth were exposed, and his voice was excited, "Brother Zhao is still smart!" ”

Seeing that he understood what he meant, Zhao Shu rubbed the top of his hair with his big hand.

I can always have a heart and soul with him...... His princess really does everything he likes!

Now that they had an idea, the two left a message for Shen Wansha, and quietly inquired about the residence of Dongxue's family, and then walked out of Yu's mansion, hired a car to avoid people, and slowly walked towards the outsider.

The secret guard on duty, Hong You, was very caring, knowing that the prince and princess were busy when they got up early in the morning, and they didn't eat, and they were going to the suburbs to find people at this time...... I bought food and a large pot of herbal tea and sent it to the car.

It was almost noon, Lu Li was really hungry and thirsty, and the weather was very hot, and he was quite bored in his heart, but now he suddenly saw the herbal tea, and his eyes lit up.

Hong You is just doing his own job as a secret guard, where can he stand Lu Li's hot and enthusiastic gaze, he doesn't need Zhao Shu to rush at all, he is very conscious, and he disappears after brushing it.

Zhao Shu nodded with satisfaction.

The princess is his, from head to toe, and whoever dares to watch, die!

"What are you doing?" Zhao Shu poured a cup of tea for Lu Li and pushed it over, and at the same time opened the oiled paper bag wrapped in food, "Eat." ”

Lu Li drank the herbal tea with both paws, sighed comfortably, and praised happily, "Brother Zhao's subordinates are so good!" ”

Zhao Zhu's ears moved, and when he heard that Hong You was far away, he shamelessly carried this praise on himself, "I asked him to do it." ”

Lu Li immediately changed his words, "Brother Zhao is so caring!" I didn't think of that! ”

The sparkling eyes were full of sincere gratitude, and perhaps there was something else, such as 'Brother Zhao is so good and worthy of being promised'...... Zhao Shu calmly accepted all Lu Li's praise and feelings, and nodded very thickly, as if to say, 'I'm so good'.

This meal and herbal tea came at the right time, Lu Li was very satisfied, and praised Zhao Zhu from head to toe with praise along the way. The atmosphere in the car is peaceful, and even the long and hot road has become much more comfortable.

Zhao Shu Yan had a face, his cheekiness was incredible, not only took all the praise, but also turned around to lure Lu Li to say 'Who can marry you is too happy', which is obviously a "sweet expectation".

Hong You faintly heard an ear, stumbled with his left foot and almost fell with his right foot, and he didn't dare to approach anymore......

Zhenyue's companions were all driven to Zhuangzi, and so were Dongxue's parents, and Dongxue was taken home, so naturally she was also taken to Zhuangzi. Generally, people's Zhuangzi are relatively remote, and the official road is not there, but the Yu family is a big family in Jingzhao Mansion, and the Zhuangzi in the family is better than others, and Lu Li and Zhao Zhu didn't have much effort to find it.

But the process of finding winter snow has encountered obstacles.

Although there is no special guard placed on the Zhuangzi, the Zhuangzi steward is very fierce and blocks the road, saying that this is the Yujia Zhuangzi, and outsiders are not allowed to enter.

Lu Li explained the reason to him, saying that he was investigating the murder of the eldest wife of the Yu family, and he needed to ask Dong Xue about something, and even took out his own fake sign to show his identity, but the steward still did not allow them to enter, or the same sentence: This is the Yu family Zhuangzi, and outsiders are not allowed to enter.

Zhao Shu had a big temper, and his big hand immediately grabbed the steward's neck, and his arm was raised up, forcing the steward's entire body to hang in the air, and the steward's face suddenly turned red and his muscles were exposed. The corners of Zhao Zhu's lips curled, and he smiled viciously, "Can we enter?" ”

The steward immediately nodded his head again and again, indicating that he was okay, and was not let go until he was about to hold his breath.

Just now, Lu Li has explained the reason, and he also showed the official brand, this big guy is not easy to mess with...... After the steward coughed his throat enough, he invited the person in very practically.

Zhao Zhu walked inside, while staring at the steward fiercely, "We are here for a secret visit, and we must not leak the news, if the master of the Yu family knows...... Watch your head. ”

The steward's neck shrunk and smiled, "The little one understands, understands ......"

This steward is very shrewd, and he knows best how to protect Ma Mingzhe when he pleases him, what kind of things to do at what time, and what excuses he can use to avoid trouble in the future, so he is very cooperative now.

took the person to Dongxue's house, and the steward slipped away. Lu Li couldn't, so he stepped forward and knocked on the door.

Dongxue's father and brother are not at home, her mother and sister-in-law are here, the two women are old and young, one fat and one thin, looking like they are the subordinates who do the work, but there is a shrewdness in their eyes, and when they see that Lu Li and Zhao Shu don't know, they directly pretend to be stupid and say that they don't know what Dongxue is.

Lu Li and Zhao Zhu glanced at each other, and they both felt that there was something wrong with this Zhuangzi. However, they didn't have time to spend with these unrelated people, so they directly explained that the steward brought them here, and if she insisted that there was no winter snow, wait for them to find out......

The two people, especially Zhao Zhu, were particularly fierce, and when they spoke, their fingertips flashed with silver, as if they were turning a sharp knife-like weapon, and the two women were afraid, and they couldn't be deceived after going around three or two times, so they had to get out of the way and let the two enter the courtyard.

This courtyard is not big, but for the next person, it is comfortable enough, and even luxurious.

There is a shadow wall, a patio, six main rooms, four east and west compartments, and the courtyard is also very large. Before coming, Lu Li inquired that Dongxue only had a pair of parents, an eldest brother and sister-in-law and a nephew, and there were not many people, so there was such a big yard......

"Which room does Dongxue live in?"

The young woman's eyes glanced in one direction while pointing over, "There." ”

She pointed in the direction of a small door, not a room.

Lu Li was a little puzzled, it could be seen that these two women did not mean to lead them, and directly pulled Zhao Zhu in that direction.

Pushing open the small door, there is a stone path overgrown with weeds. After walking for a while, the stone road became narrower and narrower, and soon a room appeared in front of me.

This is a small house in the north behind the main house, very small, the wall is very thin, Lu Li suspects that Zhao Zhu can push hard, this house can fall.

Lu Li looked at his surroundings and his eyebrows furrowed.

Such a remote deserted courtyard reminded him of the Liu family's own yard in Guan County. If it is not taken seriously, it will not come and will be forgotten by almost everyone...... Dongxue actually lives here? Isn't she her mother's own?

Zhao Shu sighed lightly and held Lu Li's hand, "You won't live in such a yard again, never." ”

Lu Li nodded lightly, with a gentle smile on his face, "I don't feel anything, it's just that how could Dongxue live in such a yard, isn't she sick?" ”

"It's useless to think too much." Zhao Shu stepped forward and knocked on the door directly.

Soon, Winter Snow came to open the door.

But I haven't seen her for a few days, and she has lost a lot of weight.

The skin on her face was pale, there was no luster and no blood, her eyes were blue and black, her eyes were a little dull, and she was very unfavorable to her with too wide clothes, and Lu Li almost didn't recognize it.

"Winter snow?" He screamed tentatively.

Dong Xue looked at Lu Li in a daze for a long time before coming back to her senses, "Mr. Lu? A mist appeared under his eyes.

"How do you ...... So sick? ”

Dongxue turned sideways and wiped her eyes, "It's nothing...... The gentleman came to see the servant? After saying that, I felt that it was wrong, she was just a subordinate, why should others come to see him," Mr. ...... But what is the matter with the servant? ”

Lu Li sighed, "Come and see you...... Of course, there are things. ”

Dongxue's pale lips curled, revealing a very sincere smile, "Sir, please-"

The room was very small, with only a square table, four round stools, and a straw screen blocking the view in front of the bed. The square table round stool is the cheapest wood, and the wear and tear is very high, but it is very clean; The grass on the screen is slightly green, and it can be seen that it is new grass, with a faint grass fragrance, and there are even water ripple lines on the screen. Although the place is small, and the items are 'simple' to a kind of chengdù, Dongxue still tries to keep it clean and comfortable, like a girl's place.

Dongxue came over with two glasses of white water, and hung her head a little apologetically, "I'm sorry, the maid just remembered that the tea was finished before, and I haven't bought ...... yet."

I'm afraid it's not that the tea is gone, but that there is no tea at all.

However, Lu Li will not expose the little girl's little self-esteem, "It's okay, you can sit too." ”

Dongxue shook her head, "It's good to stand." ”

"I see that when you walk, your breathing is slightly fast, your legs and feet are weak, I am afraid that your illness is not yet well, and your qi and blood are insufficient and your strength is exhausted. The two of us are not masters of the mansion, and you don't need to call yourself a slave, sit down. ”

Lu Li's attitude was gentle and kind, and he had an inviolable insistence, Dongxue couldn't, and after thanking him, he carefully sat on half of the stool.

"We are here today for the death of Zhenyue." Lu Li observed Dongxue's expression.

When Zhenyue's name was mentioned, Dongxue immediately stirred her hands together, her eyes drooping, and she looked very nervous.

"Dongxue," Lu Li didn't give her time to react, and asked directly, "What did Zhenyue die, you know." ”

Dongxue glanced at Lu Li in horror, and immediately shook her head, "Don't you ...... Ignorance. ”

She sat down and was closer to Lu Li, plus she was facing Lu Li, talking and breathing a little fast, Lu Li smelled some smell. It's not the foul breath in her mouth, it's the slightly astringent and slightly bitter smell of medicine, the taste is so obvious, she must have just taken the medicine.

Lu Li's first reaction when he came in was to look around the whole room, there was nothing in the room for boiling medicine, not even medicinal herbs and medicine bowls. Can this taste ...... Ejiao, Astragalus, Codonopsis...... Looking at the winter snow again, think about what she looked like when I saw her before......

Lu Li frowned and looked at Zhao Zhu.

Zhao Zhu's five senses are better than Lu Li's, Lu Li's smell can be smelled, he naturally smells it early. Lu Li has a certain understanding of medicine-related knowledge because he studied forensic medicine, and Zhao Zhu has read a few medical books because he can't release the volume, which tastes special, and he also guessed what it is.

He nodded at Lu Li.

Lu Li's eyes narrowed slightly, and asked Dongxue, "What disease do you have?" ”

Since she was reluctant to answer the question about Zhenyue's death, then this question should make Dongxue relax, but she was even more nervous, her eyes dodging, "No, it's not a serious illness......

Lu Li squinted, "It's not a serious illness...... Will you faint when you kneel, and the head of the house will allow your parents to take you back? ”

"Wind, wind chill, just wind chill ......"

"I'm so sick, why didn't your parents, brother and sister-in-law buy medicine for you?" Lu Li deliberately looked around the room.

Dongxue immediately said, "I bought it, I bought it, but the maid is better now, so I don't eat it......"

"You're lying!" Lu Li suddenly slapped the table, "What you took is obviously a medicine to replenish qi and blood after childbirth!" ”

Dongxue looked at Lu Li in a daze, and suddenly knelt down with a 'plop', "No, the maid didn't-"

"I'm a squire." Lu Li's voice was calm, and his face was stern, "You think I can't even see this?" Do you want me to go out and find a husband and give you a pulse? ”

Dongxue didn't dare to speak again, her forehead against the ground, shivering.

"I'm just here to ask you some questions today, not to investigate your personal relationship with others, and you are unmarried." Lu Li tapped his fingertips on the table, "As long as you answer the questions well, I won't tell anyone else about this, how about it?" ”

The room was quiet for a while before Dongxue's faint voice came out, "Sir...... Excuse me. ”

"You get up." Lu Li pointed to the stool, "I mean what I say." ”

Dongxue got up tremblingly and sat back carefully.

Lu Li didn't ask how Dongxue had a miscarriage, how old the child was, and whose it was, but only asked her, "I don't think there is anything decoction in your room, what are you eating?" Don't tell me that your parents and sisters-in-law gave it to me, I don't believe it. ”

Dongxue bit her lip, "It's a pill." Before leaving Jingzhao Mansion, I bought it in Baicaotang. ”

Lu Li hadn't heard of Baicaotang, and looked at Zhao Zhu.

Zhao Zhu's voice was slightly cold, "Baicaotang, the best pharmacy in Daxia, the general number is in the capital, and each province has a semicolon." The head of the family has been passed down for generations, and the medicinal materials are all of the highest quality, the efficacy is guaranteed, and the price is naturally not ordinary, and the pills are especially expensive. ”

His meaning is clear, the accent is obvious, and the emphasis is on expression: even if Dongxue is the maid of the Yu family, he can't afford it.

Dongxue's lips had bitten a little bloody, and her head hung even lower.

Lu Li didn't continue to ask this, but asked her, "Why doesn't your family like you?" ”

"Sir...... Why do you ask? ”

"Isn't that obvious?" Lu Li looked around the room with a teasing expression.

Dong Xue understood what Lu Li meant, and said with a wry smile, "Mr. misunderstood, the maid is indeed the biological daughter of this family." It's just that the ten fingers still have lengths and shortnesses, and it is human nature that parents like their brother more. ”

"There's no reason to treat you like that." Lu Li smiled, "I'll guess." ”

"It's easy for my friends and I to find this Zhuangzi, but it's hard to get into this Zhuangzi, the head of the village here is very powerful, I'm afraid that the master above has any instructions. Your mother and sister-in-law are also very vigilant, not only do they keep you here, but they don't want outsiders to know...... Are you at odds with your family and have committed the taboo of your master? Lu Li said as he observed Dongxue's expression.

“…… Maybe it's not a taboo, it's an external heart, or it's disobedient? When he said the previous sentence, Dong Xue's expression was slightly disdainful, and when he said the last sentence, Dong Xue's eyebrows and eyes were filled with bitterness, and Lu Li understood, "You are disobedient." ”

His voice was a little harsh, "Dongxue, the master of this Zhuangzi, is it Yu Tianyi or Zhong?" ”

Dongxue looked up abruptly and looked at him in surprise.

"Is it Yu Tianyi who wants you to do something else and you refuse, or does the Zhong family want you to do something and you refuse?"

Dongxue knelt down again, her head slammed on the ground, her teeth chattered, "Slave...... The servant can't say. ”

Her voice trembled, and her expression was fragile, as if it could kill her.

"Are you afraid of death?" Lu Li stared at her, "Still afraid that your family will die?" ”

"The maidservant's family...... is innocent. ”

Lu Li looked at this girl who was thin as a handful of bones and could almost be blown away by a gust of wind, and sighed in his heart. This is a person of affection, no matter how her family treats her, whether she is forced or actively cooperated, she is not willing to let her family suffer.

Lu Li didn't force her, "What do they let you do?" Kill Zhenyue? ”

Dongxue cried, her voice choked, "Madam...... It's a good guy......"

Lu Li observed the winter snow situation, and his voice slowed down, "How does Zhenyue treat you?" ”

"Very good......

"What's a good way?"

"Mrs. likes to eat the pastries made by the maid, and she will be rewarded when she returns, and when it is cold, she will not let the maid do it unless she is hungry, saying that the small kitchen is too small and too cold, and the maid is still growing her body and cannot be frozen...... When Ruxia is not in the house, the wife will secretly give things to the maid, and no one else has them...... The servant finished the work, and the wife was always very happy, and once held the handmaid's hand, saying that she always felt that she had seen the maid, and she was as kind as her sister...... Mrs. is really gentle, nice to everyone, never bad with people, but ......"

"Did you see Zhenyue before she got married?"

"I've seen it...... At that time, the maid was punished for doing something wrong, and the wife saw it, and quietly stuffed the maid with three pieces of snacks, saying that she should not let others see it......"

Speaking of Zhenyue's affairs, Dongxue couldn't cry silently, she couldn't stop crying, and her love was full of unspeakable grief.

Yu Tianyi ...... Is it really very affectionate with Zhenyue? Lu Li squatted down and looked at Dongxue, "This has nothing to do with Zhenyue's death, you can sue me." ”

Dongxue raised her head, her eyes were red, and she said that she was looking at Lu Li, but she was glaring at Lu Li.

Lu Li's expression was solemn, "You can trust me." ”

Dongxue bit her lip and her expression wandered.

Lu Li said again, "The Yu family is a mountain in your eyes, but it is nothing in my eyes. Not to mention Zhenyue's mother's family, the Liu family in Shangjing and the county lord of Duanhui, will come over soon, and the Yu family can't resist, so it's me who ......"

He stretched out his voice and smiled brightly, "I am the fiancée of King Ping, do you know King Ping?" Guarding the gate of the Great Xia country, he loves the blood of foreign tribes, and can stop children from crying at night...... I don't have any hobbies, I love to solve cases the most in my life, but whenever I encounter injustices on the road, I always have to find out, and I am willing to repay good and evil. ”

"You ......" Dongxue was obviously surprised, and her swollen eyes widened from crying.

"Say whatever you want or not." Lu Li inevitably lengthened his voice, "I'm just interested, maybe one day this interest will be gone." ”

Dongxue thought for a while, and said in a trembling voice, "Uncle to wife...... Not good. She still couldn't fully trust Lu Li, so she only said a little, "Uncle only likes to buy things and send them to his wife's house, but in fact, he doesn't speak when he enters his wife's house, and always looks at the account or does things alone...... Every time the uncle came, he had to send everyone out, leaving only his wife's personal mother to serve until the uncle came out...... Outside, it is said that the uncle and the wife are □□ love, but the maid has never seen them...... Row|Room ......"

After Dongxue stumbled and finished speaking, Lu Li suddenly asked, "The child you dropped, is it Yu Tianyi?" ”

Dongxue immediately froze, her face turned pale, and her teeth rattled, as if she remembered something terrible that she would never want to think about.

"No...... No...... It's not ......"

Lu Li saw that this girl was expected to collapse if he pressed again, so he changed the question, "Zhong doesn't like you very much, have you ever worn small shoes?" ”

Dongxue cried again, "There aren't many opportunities for the maid to see Aunt Zhong......"

"Then Zhenyue can be at odds with the Zhong family? Did the two have a quarrel? ”

"I didn't ...... No...... Every time Aunt Zhong saw her wife, she saluted according to the rules, and her wife didn't like her approaching, so every time she saw her, she waved her hand to step down, and the two had no chance to quarrel......"

"The color of the silk silk in your sleeve was very beautiful that day, but Zhenyue rewarded you?"

Dong Xue couldn't grasp Lu Li's thoughts, and subconsciously answered the truth in every question, "It's the ...... that Mrs. rewarded."

"Where is it now?"

"That's it...... It's in the maid's makeup box. ”

"Good." Lu Li stood up, exhaled lightly, looked at Zhao Shu with a smile, and blinked mischievously, as if to say: I know what's going on, does Brother Zhao know?

If it weren't for an outsider, Zhao Shu would definitely be unable to help hugging him and kissing him, these eyes are so beautiful!

Now he nodded proudly and said that he could go.

"Winter snow." Lu Li's voice was suddenly very solemn.

Winter Snow subconsciously raised its head.

Lu Li looked at him with a serious expression, "If I solve this case, before the hall official, do you dare to tell the truth?" ”

Dongxue was stunned.

Lu Li didn't wait for her to answer, raised his feet and walked out, "Take care of your body, I will look for you again." ”

Because he walked quickly, his voice was a little ethereal, but he was determined inside...... Very obvious.

Dong Xue clenched her fists tightly, and suddenly tears burst out of her eyes, and she kowtowed three times deeply to Lu Li's back.

Sitting on the shaking carriage again, Lu Li looked at Zhao Zhu with a bright smile and clear eyes, "Brother Zhao, I'm probably going to dissect the corpse again." "Tricksters
