Chapter 159: It's Her

The empress seemed to attach great importance to Lu Qinghuan, so the holy decree directly appointed him to join the Yushitai and became Xie Shiniang's subordinate, and arrived three days later.

Along with the holy decree, there are also official uniforms, related documents, and ribbon seals.

In three days, she is about to enter the officialdom, which makes Lu Qinghuan inevitably a little apprehensive, she never thought that when she came to this dynasty, she would one day become an official.

It's okay to let it be, if you think too much at the moment, it will mess up your mind.

Lu Qinghuan handed over all the things sent by King An Le to Yingge for disposal, and then returned to Cuiguang Yuan together.

Recently, the empress has been in poor health, so as not to go to the early dynasty, it is precisely because of this that Cui Yi has not been to the court recently, so she has to be free to investigate Cui Yuanshuang's case in the mansion.

After sending away King Anle, Cui Yi began to screen the murderer according to the clues provided by Lu Qinghuan, and Cui Mansion did not let go of any of them, and checked them little by little.

It took two days for such an investigation to gain a glimmer of eyebrows, and the suspects who met the requirements were all temporarily taken into custody pending interrogation.

According to the information provided by Lu Qinghuan first, as well as the cross-comparison of clues later, there are not many people who match, and after Cui Yi finished the investigation, he asked Lu Qinghuan to come over and interrogate these people together.

It's still the yard last time, but the people are very different from the last time, because most of the suspects caught this time are women, and they are all rude-looking middle-aged mothers.

Lu Qinghuan frowned and looked at these old mothers, carefully examined their fingers and arms, and asked some questions briefly. I can't help but be a little disappointed, because the murderer is not among these people at all.

There were no results from the two screenings, and Cui Yi couldn't help but have some doubts. He asked Lu Qinghuan in a low voice: "Are you sure that the information you provided is in line with the murderer?" ”

Lu Qinghuan raised his eyebrows, his expression was a little light: "If my uncle doesn't believe it, why bother to check it like this?" I only have one question for my uncle right now. ”

"What?"

"Why did you check twice, but the suspects were only subordinates, did my uncle miss something?"

"You mean ......?" Cui Yi was taken aback. Lu Qinghuan's meaning is obvious, the murderer is not among the subordinates, but among the masters of the fourth room.

At the time of screening. He did miss the master of the Cui family's four rooms, after all, they are all relatives who are related by blood, and of course he doesn't want the murderer to be a member of the Cui family. So he didn't deliberately ask his subordinates to check the Cui family's people, which is why they came and went. It's all some subordinates who have been arrested.

Lu Qinghuan shook his head and sighed: "Uncle is confused! The murderer was able to trick Siniang out of the banquet hall without realizing it. It can be seen that he is a familiar person with Siniang, and then he dares to commit murder in the back garden, it can be seen that he is bold and reckless, his murderous methods are so brutal and vicious, if he is not caught by Kuài, I am afraid that someone will suffer! ”

Of course, Cui Yi knew Lu Qinghuan's words, but he was just holding a bit of luck. Now, he can only look for the murderer among the people of the Cui family.

Find the murderer among the masters. It's actually a little simpler. Cui Yi listed the people who participated in the banquet that day, and marked the absentees, and then compared them according to the information given by Lu Qinghuan from the middle, and soon locked down one person.

"Is that her?" Cui Yi was stunned, she didn't expect it to be her in the end!

Lu Qinghuan saw the tip of the pen in Cui Yi's hand hanging above a name, she looked at it fixedly, and the scene she saw when she attended the Cui Mansion party for the first time that day immediately appeared in her mind.

Thinking about it carefully, this person almost meets all the information given by Lu Qinghuan, even if she thinks it is incredible, but the murderer can only be her!

"Uncle, whether it's or not, you have to ask her to come over and ask!"

"Okay, I'll have someone invite her." Cui Yi was a little disappointed in his heart, but he still gave the order.

The two of them stayed in the main hall, waiting for the next person to return, but after waiting for a long time, they didn't see anyone coming back, but they saw Cui Yuanrong running in with a panicked face.

"Uncle, my aunt is gone!" Cui Yuanrong's face was pale, and her breath was a little unstable at this time because of running.

"When not?"

"...... this morning" Cui Yuanrong thought about it carefully, and her tone was full of worry: "A-Niang asked me to accompany her to burn incense outside the city today, but I waited for an hour and didn't see her coming, so I went to her room, but I saw that the maid next to her was knocked unconscious, and the room was very chaotic, I was scared, so I came here......"

Although Cui Yuanrong's face is pale, her words are very clear, which shows that she is an agile and intelligent person. Lu Qinghuan comforted her and said to Cui Yi: "Uncle, I'm afraid that she arrested someone...... We've got to do everything we can to find her! ”

"Who? Who are you talking about? Cui Yuanrong was startled, grabbed Lu Qinghuan's hand, and asked eagerly.

Lu Qinghuan frowned, endured the pain in his wrist, and said in a low voice: "Do you know where Cui Yuanxia likes to go on weekdays?" ”

"Yuan Xia? Are you saying that Sanniang caught my aunt? Cui Yuanrong was shocked, her eyes were full of tears, she bit her lip and endured her fear, and thought about it carefully, "Sanniang doesn't like to go out on weekdays, so she is only closer to Liuniang." ”

"Cui Yuanxiang?" Lu Qinghuan frowned and whispered.

Yes, no wonder Cui Yuanxia broke Cui Yuanshuang's legs, presumably to vent his anger for Cui Yuanxiang.

Cui Yuanxiang can't walk, but I'm afraid that she has also been ridiculed and insulted by Cui Yuanshuang, Cui Yuanxia is friendly with her, and it's not strange to be angry for her.

Lu Qinghuan's eyes lit up, looking at Cui Yi, but he nodded and said, "I know, I'll immediately send someone to Liuniang to look for it." ”

Cui Yi was really relieved, so he personally led people to find Cui Yuanxia and Cui Yuanxiang, leaving Lu Qinghuan and Cui Yuanrong to stay in the hall together.

Lu Qinghuan remembered Cui Yuanxiang's appearance, and couldn't help but ask Cui Yuanrong: "Can you sue me, how did Cui Yuanxiang's leg break?" ”

"This ......" Cui Yuanrong hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice: "When Liuniang was injured, I was still young, but later I heard that it was because when she was learning to ride a horse, she accidentally fell down and injured her spine, and although she was able to sit up, she could never walk." ”

Lu Qinghuan sighed, if it was an ordinary accident, then it could only be blamed on the jealousy of the sky, but judging from the current situation, I am afraid that Cui Yuanxiang's injury back then was not an accident, but man-made.

Her question made Cui Yuanrong also think of this possibility, and asked Lu Qinghuan with some fear: "Is it ...... Liuniang's injury was done by my mother......"

The face that has always loved to smile is full of worry and fear, and the radiant eyes have also dimmed, obviously because of this incident, broken and devastated.

Lu Qinghuan had a good impression of her, and seeing her so depressed, she couldn't bear it, so she persuaded: "Silly girl, whether it is or not, she is your mother after all, you have to believe her." (To be continued.) )
