Xiao Lu was driven away by Pei Yuan, Lu Qinghuan lost the object of interrogation, glared at Pei Yuan angrily, and called Wang Erniu to investigate the coachman in Xia Yinhua's mouth and Xiao Lu's whereabouts last night.

After arranging a qiē, Lu Qinghuan looked around in the room for clues, but he didn't even look at Pei Yuan, and his cheeks bulged out very obviously.

Seeing her like a little daughter, Pei Yuan felt funny, and joked to her: "The lady is so angry, is it because I have tea with Shu Ming, but I don't invite you to eat?" ”

"If you don't invite me to drink, won't I know how to drink it myself?" Lu Qing snorted happily and rushed to the two of them, picked up an empty cup, poured it to herself, and threw it all up, who knew that the tea soup was too hot, she couldn't prevent her mouth from burning, and suddenly exclaimed, opened her mouth and sighed, and suddenly her eyes were full of tears.

"Why is Lu Niangzi so careless?" Pei Yuan didn't expect that he had no intention of teasing Lu Qinghuan, but he burned her mouth, and said with some reluctance.

Helan Xuanyi took out a square wooden box from his arms and gently placed it on a few, "This is a pill for treating burns, Lu Niangzi takes one, it should not hurt soon!" ”

Lu Qinghuan opened the wooden box as he said, took out a jet-black pill and put it in his mouth, and suddenly a cool taste spread between his lips and tongue, and the pain in the hot place just now disappeared. She glanced at Helan Xuanyi gratefully, and just wanted to thank her, but suddenly remembered that Helan Xuanyi had said before that although Xiao Dalang had no external injuries, his throat and mouth were slightly red.

Could it be that Xiao Dalang has also been burned by something? But why did he get burned?

People say that Xiao Dalang entered the study at the beginning of the year, and the time of death was between the time of the sea and the time of the ugly, during this time, would anyone have entered the study?

Lu Qinghuan immediately sent someone to summon the subordinates and maidservants who were on duty last night, and after inquiring one by one, he found that except for Xia Jinhua's personal maidservant, there was no alibi, and the other servants all returned to the subordinate room after Wu Shi and were not in this courtyard.

This sycamore is Xia Jinhua's personal maidservant, with a plump and slender figure, and her clothes are more gorgeous than ordinary maidservants, and even her makeup is more detailed. At this moment, her eyes were slightly red and swollen, standing in front of Lu Qinghuan, trembling all over, and her fingers kept stirring the handkerchief in her hand.

Lu Qinghuan looked at Wutong carefully, raised his lips and smiled slightly, "Are you called Wutong?" ”

Sycamore shuddered and nodded slightly.

"Wutong, where did you go after last night?" Lu Qinghuan's voice itself was very crisp, but she deliberately lowered it at the moment, lowered her voice thickly, and her tone was calm, which made people feel a sense of oppression when they heard it.

Although Wutong is older than Lu Qinghuan, but I don't know if it is because of weakness or nervousness, as soon as Lu Qinghuan asked, she was so frightened that she knelt on the ground with a "plop" and cried loudly: "Ask the lady to learn clearly, Da Lang was not killed by slaves!" Slave last night...... Last night......"

"How was last night?"

"The slave stayed in the lady's room last night......"

Hearing this, Lu Qinghuan frowned and said nothing, Xia's was not in the house, Wutong said that he was sleeping in Xia's room, obviously there was no witness, but taking advantage of the master's absence, sleeping on his bed, obviously uneasy in the room.

Lu Qinghuan's expression was cold, "Can someone prove it?" ”

Wutong was stunned for a moment, then cried even more, and shook his head silently.

Although Wutong did not have an alibi, it cannot be concluded that she killed Xiao Dalang, not to mention that the cause of Xiao Dalang's death has not yet been confirmed. Lu Qinghuan asked Wutong to step down and ordered her not to leave the Xiao Mansion until the suspicion was cleared.

Seeing that there was no clue about this matter for the time being, Helan Xuanyi knew that he couldn't help much, so he got up and said goodbye, "I went back first, and as for the deceased, I will carefully examine it again to ensure that the real cause of his death is found." ”

Pei Yuan also got up immediately, arched his hand at Helan Xuanyi, and said with an inexplicable smile: "Then there is Lao Shuming!" ”

Later, he sent Xiao Dalang's body to Yizhuang for storage, and ordered someone to guard it, except for three people, the rest were not allowed to approach.

After a busy morning, Lu Qinghuan only drank a cup of hot tea, and she was hungry at this time, and when Helan left, she was also busy saying goodbye, planning to go back to Lu Mansion for dinner.

"The harmful lady is tired all morning, so I invite the lady to have a light meal, which is counted as reparation!"

The Zhou Dynasty's male and female defense was not very strict, even in taverns and teahouses, it was common to see men and women sitting at the same table, and ladies with a little bit of identity would generally choose a private seat, which could not only dispel the crowd, but also show their identity.

From the elegant seat on the second floor of Wangxian Pavilion next door to Xiao Mansion, you can just see the back wing room of Xiao Mansion. Lu Qinghuan sat on the low couch in front of the window, and kept staring at Xiao Mansion while waiting for Xiao Er to serve the food.

From her angle, she can clearly see the outer wall of Xiao Dalang's study, as well as the verandah under the eaves, and she has been thinking about how the murderer entered Xiao Dalang's study and how he left.

Most of the windows of the Zhou Dynasty were mullioned windows, that is, windows that were fixed to the window frame with multiple wooden strips and could not be pushed open.

The windows can't go in and out, and the doors are locked from the inside, if someone kills Xiao Dalang, how can they leave? Could it be that Xiao Dalang really died violently? But the account books on the desk had obviously been touched......

"Mrs. Lu, let's wait until you have your stomach full, and then think about Xiao Dalang's case." Pei Yuan saw that Lu Qinghuan had been pondering since just now, looking like he was in a trance, and couldn't help but call her.

Lu Qinghuan came back to his senses and glanced at the food on the table, a plate of stewed mutton, a cup of steamed egg custard, and two or three cold dishes and green vegetables, which were simple and refreshing, but they were very suitable for Lu Qinghuan's taste.

The aroma of the food came to his nose, and Lu Qinghuan didn't care about the image, so he sat on the cushion and ate it happily. Although she eats quickly, her eating appearance is not bad, and it can even be said that she is very elegant, and Zhou Chao eats at separate tables, so she doesn't have to worry about the embarrassment of grabbing vegetables with Pei Yuan.

Soon a bowl of rice was at the bottom, but it was not enough, Lu Qinghuan ordered someone to fill a full bowl again, and waited until she finished eating two large bowls of multigrain rice, and then touched her stomach with satisfaction - this was the most comfortable and filling meal she had eaten in this dynasty.

After eating, Lu Qinghuan raised his head again, but saw that Pei Yuan was not eating, but kept staring at her with a smile in his eyes.

For some reason, Lu Qinghuan, who had always felt that he was thick-skinned, blushed suddenly, and snorted, "What are you staring at me for?" Could it be that I'm eating too much? ”

Her voice was very small, but it was heard clearly by Pei Yuan, and Pei Yuan's smile widened even more, "I didn't expect the lady's meal to be good." ”

It turns out that she really thinks she eats too much?! Glancing at the empty dishes in front of him, Lu Qinghuan bit his lip, covered his hot cheeks, and explained embarrassedly: "I'm growing my body, so naturally I eat a lot ......"

Fortunately, Pei Yuan didn't continue to tease her, and her embarrassment didn't last long, so she was interrupted by the tolerance of coming in to report.

It turned out that Liu Ming came over.
