Chapter 167 Testimony in the Courtyard

"This way, please. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info "The maidservant led me into the courtyard, past the flower pavilion, and into the hall. "Madame, please, I'll come later."

I nodded my head to her in thanks.

After the maidservant invited me to sit down, she turned and walked out of the hall.

I paid attention to it in the hall, there was some surprise, Lord Huan is also the half-brother of the monarch of Xin Guojun, and it is rumored that the relationship between the two seems to be not bad, but Lord Huan's mansion is inevitably too shabby. Coming in from the gate, it is a huge square courtyard, in the middle of the courtyard, there is a flower pavilion, the flower pavilion is directly facing the hall, there are several wings on the left and right in the courtyard, that's all.

Based on intuition alone, I feel that the relationship between the legendary King of Xin and Lord Jiang Huan does not seem to be so good.

Is this true for each of these?

The friendliness shown is nothing more than that, but he is not willing to share what he has with others.

"May I ask if you are ......" Master Huan walked into the hall, wearing plain clothes could not be simpler, and his temperament was outstanding.

"Entrusted by someone, let's investigate the murder that happened in your mansion." I took something out of my sleeve and handed it to him, and after he hesitated to take it, I slowly said, "I'm sorry for what happened to my adult mother. ā€

"This ...... This is! Lord Huan was amazed, and the object kept shaking in his hand because the hand holding it was trembling.

"A gift from an old man." That's the token that Emperor Yu gave me years ago, and I put the token he handed back to me and put it back in my sleeve. "My surname is Huo, and my husband's surname is Xiao, and adults can call me Mrs. Xiao. In the past, I had some relationship with my ancestors, but now I heard about something strange and was worried about the resurgence of the disaster in Kyushu, so I came to visit, and I hope that the adults will make it convenient. ā€

"Mrs. Xiao?" He was even more surprised, even such a different bearing was incredible, frowned, sighed, and said to himself, "In this world, there is really Mrs. Xiao in this world......

"Your Excellency?" I called him out and had to interrupt him when I saw that he was in a daze. "If you can, can you take me to see the house where my mother had an accident?"

He hesitated for a long time, but finally came back to his senses, and looked at me fixedly for a while, I am afraid that if it were not for this token that all other people knew, he would really doubt my authenticity. "Okay, then please ask Mrs. Xiao to come with me."

Following Lord Jianghuan, he walked out of the hall, and in the third room of his left hand, Lord Huan stopped outside the door, he kept frowning, especially when he walked to the door, the reaction of resistance was particularly strong, and he was resisting to recall the events at that time.

I thought for a moment, then stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, "Your Excellency must also hope that the murderer can be found as soon as possible after the murder of your loved ones, which is not only the key to determining the relationship between Xin and Yu, but also allows your mother's mother to be comforted earlier and leave with peace of mind." Isn't it? ā€

Master Jiang Huan turned to look at me, and then silently reached out and pushed the door open, as if pushing a heavy object, and it took some effort to reopen the door.

The room was a mess, with a thick layer of dust covering the surface of all items.

"Here......" I was a little surprised at first to see such a scene, but it soon became clear that everything here was the same as it was a year ago. I guess the adults ordered someone to save this place. ā€

As I spoke, I was about to step into the room.

"Mrs. Xiao." Shohan-sama spoke up and made me stop. He thought about it carefully for a long time before he said, "It is rumored that Mrs. Huo is a strange person who can talk to ghosts, I don't know if it's true or not?" ā€

I watched his reaction when he said this, and there was a strange glimmer of light in the depths of his long-lost pupils, which was his heartfelt hope. When he asked such a thing himself, he must have thought it rigorously, but he asked a question that even he had denied, and that was because......

"I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you." I knew he wanted me to talk to the ghost so that I could help him talk to his mother who had been killed. But I still didn't leave the slightest room to deny his hope, just because I think that a person immersed in impossible hope will only make him more and more negative, since people want to live, then facing the truth is the only cure for serious wounds. "I can't talk to ghosts, I can only talk to ghosts in people's hearts."

Before the hope in his eyes was completely gone, I turned and walked into the house.

There should be plenty of light in this room, but now, a thick layer of dust on the window makes the room look much darker. And what really made me care was that there were a few furnishings in the house, and I just glanced at the courtyard a few more times and determined something, "Lord Jianghuan's mother, did she love silk reeling when she was alive?" ā€

Silk reeling, the process of extracting silk from silkworm cocoons is generally called silk reeling. The original method of silk reeling is to soak the silkworm cocoon in a hot pot soup, draw the silk by hand, and roll it on the silk basket. Pots and baskets are primitive silk reeling utensils. The working people of the Han nationality invented the technology of raising silkworms and reeling silk and weaving silk embroidery. This invention should be attributed to the women of the Han nationality. Legend has it that the wife of the Yellow Emperor and the daughter of the Xiling clan taught the people to raise silkworms and cure silk cocoons for clothes.

In this room, there are all the utensils for reeling silk, and there is also a fallen reeling cart.

So after perceiving the situation in the room, I subconsciously looked out, just to confirm whether there were traces of silkworm raising in this courtyard.

Lord Jianghuan's mother, the side concubine of the former monarch of Xin Kingdom, is she such a simple woman?

"My mother was my father's side concubine, and when my father was alive, my mother was a humble status and was often bullied by my father's other women. My mother gave birth to me when she was seventeen, and I only remember that I saw my father very little until he died. Most of the time I lived with my mother, who could not only make silk rose, but also silk cotton, and her craftsmanship was so superb that even my father was full of praise. The clothes that his father wore when he died of illness were still silk woven by his mother...... "Lord Huan was very sad when he mentioned his mother, but it was not difficult to hear from his tone that he admired and was proud of his mother.

"My lord, no offense, but there is a question I still have to ask." I said solemnly, "In your impression, has Mrs. Yin ever had a grudge against anyone?" Or, do you think anyone is threatening you or Mrs. Yin all the time? ā€

When he suddenly heard such a question, Shohan-sama's instinctive reaction was to be angry, and then he tried to balance that anger, which gradually eased his murderous aura. "No, it won't."

He said no, but in his emotional transition from anger to subsidence, I found that he wasn't entirely sure.

"No one would want to kill her." Master Jiang Huan repeated again, "My mother has always been docile and never had bad relations with others, even when she lived by her father's side in the past, and when she was in trouble, her mother never took the oppression of others to heart. She is a very kind and tolerant person, and she taught me not to be enemies of others since I was a child, because our status is humble, so our resistance will only attract murderous intent. We've always lived peacefully, if it weren't for ......."

"What if not? If it weren't for Lord Yoon's wife, Qing Ji, I'm afraid that the adult's mother would still be alive and well? "From what he didn't finish, I could hear the anger he was holding." I see what adults mean. ā€

After walking around the house for a week, through the dust on the ground, you can still see that the blood left on the ground has turned black.

If Mrs. Yin fell here at that time, then she ...... at that time, "My lord, may I ask, in which direction did Mrs. Yin fall at that time?" ā€

Master Jiang Huan seemed to have made a lot of determination before he came into the room, and he stood beside the blackened blood stain and looked at it for a while. "Facing north."

"Facing north......" I muttered as I repeated the clue I had just gotten, and then looked in the direction of the bloodstain for a moment, "If Madame Yin was found facing north, then judging from the position where the reeling cart fell and Madame Yin's position at that time, Madame Yin should have been killed when she got up from the reeling cart and moved towards the northeast corner of this room." ā€

However, the reeling cart was only two or three steps away from the northeast corner of this room, and it was killed in such a small range, so it was because Mrs. Yin's body fell and overturned the reeling cart.

"What's there......" I walked towards the northeast corner of the room, where there was a wooden cabinet, a very simple wooden cabinet, and the things displayed on it were also some very ordinary daily furnishings, and I couldn't see anything that would suddenly attract her attention, so that she got up to check it while she was reeling. My lord, could you please confirm that the contents of this cabinet are all originally from here? ā€

Master Jiang Huan came over with doubts, looked at it carefully, and said affirmatively, "Indeed." ā€

"So, has anyone come into this room in the years or so?" The dust on the ground can only prove that no one has been in this room for half a year at most, but it cannot be proved for the period from half a year ago to a year ago, that is, even closer to the time after the crime.

"No, this is absolutely impossible, because after the mother's accident, no one dared to stand up to investigate this matter, so the matter has been repeatedly shelved, and I am worried that there will be clues about the murderer here, so I have been sending people to strictly guard it, since Lord Yu Yin took Qing Ji away, no one has entered this room until today." Will Huan unexpectedly affirmed.

"No one is willing to come forward and investigate?" I don't believe that this country is all useless, and there is not even a person who can find out the truth? (To be continued.) )
