Chapter 290: The East Window Incident
Old Man Jiang's angry appearance made everyone in the courtyard dare not squeak, but judging from the tone of his voice, Mrs. Jiang understood that he was targeting half of herself.
Mrs. Jiang sneered in her heart, I would be stupid to hurt her at this time, but she knew that the person who poisoned her knew with her toes that it must be the ruthless old lady.
This old woman is still unfast, and she can talk to her own granddaughter, it's really not a thing, and I don't know if the wild girl stole the old woman's coffin? I really want to see the dead old woman rolling around in pain.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Jiang couldn't help but secretly laugh, but it was a coincidence that her smile was actually seen by Master Jiang.
Master Jiang was furious, and rushed up with a slap: "You slut, Xiaobai almost lost his life, and you can still laugh." You say, is it poisoned by you? ”
Mrs. Jiang was beaten to the core, and when she heard Master Jiang's accusation, she also had a sense of anger in her heart, and jumped up to confront Master Jiang:
"What nonsense? Catch the traitor and catch the thief and take the stolen goods, who can prove that I was poisoned? There are so many people up and down in the house, why do they rely on me? These days, I'm so busy with that girl's family affairs that my feet don't touch the ground, you don't thank me, but you poison her by defiling me, why should I harm her? Are you still the county master, and you convicted people like this? ”
Master Jiang was speechless, and his face turned red and glared at Mrs. Jiang fiercely: "You'd better not let me find evidence, otherwise...... I will never let you go. ”
Mrs. Jiang sneered: "Don't worry, I haven't done it just haven't done it." It's your old lady, if she poisons me, I see why you don't let her go, hum! ”
Master Jiang immediately looked anxious again: "Presumptuous." My mother is Xiaobai's own grandmother, how could she be poisoned? ”
Mrs. Jiang said lightly: "Is it impossible for you to ask her?" ”
Master Jiang glared at Mrs. Jiang angrily, for some reason he was a little uneasy in his heart, and he always felt that something was going to happen. Mother is not in good health these days, I wonder if she knows that Xiaobai has an accident? As...... Let's go check it out now.
So, Master Jiang strode out of the courtyard gate with his hands behind his back and hurried in the direction of the old lady's courtyard. Madame Chiang's eyes rolled. She intuitively felt that there would be a good show, so she quickly got up and walked a few steps quickly to follow Master Jiang.
Master Jiang came to the door of the old lady's courtyard. Knocked lightly on the courtyard door a few times: "Open the door, aunt, open the door!" ”
The courtyard was silent and did not react, and Master Jiang felt strange in his heart. Even if Aunt Zhong didn't hear it. There should be other people in the courtyard, too? He knocked a few more times, but there was still no one.
Old Man Jiang frowned, what's going on today? He couldn't help but increase his strength, and after knocking for a quarter of an hour, there was no reaction at all in the courtyard.
Mrs. Jiang stood behind with a group of maids and servants, and was a little surprised to see this situation, she thought about it, could it be that the wild girl had already succeeded? That's why you're in such a hurry? Mrs. Jiang was shocked, she wouldn't have swept away all that money, right?
"Someone. Smash the courtyard door open! Mrs. Jiang was in a hurry, and her voice was a few degrees higher. Master Jiang stopped the mother-in-law who was about to slam the door: "What is this for?" The old lady's yard will not allow you to mess around? Retire! ”
Mrs. Jiang said: "Master, the courtyard door is closed here in broad daylight, and the door is still not open for a long time, there must be something strange inside, maybe the old lady has had an accident, open the door and see!" ”
Master Jiang sighed in his heart, he has been a county magistrate for so many years, and he has tried a lot of cases, and nine times out of ten this situation is that something happened inside, and he was so anxious that he broke open the courtyard door with his mother-in-law.
There was a clicking sound, as if the door bolt had fallen, and then pushed hard, there was still something in the way, and several mothers-in-law worked together to push the courtyard door out of the gap to allow one person to enter and exit.
Old Man Jiang took advantage of the situation, and at a glance he saw the old lady sitting on the chair with round eyes and a stiff body, and he was so shocked that he shouted and rushed in.
At this time, Mrs. Jiang was already cold and breathless, and her round eyes showed how unwilling she was before she died. Master Jiang knelt on the ground and cried loudly: "Mother, who caused you to be like this?" The child is not filial, it's too late! ”
Madame Jiang was shocked when she heard the cry, she hurriedly pushed away the servant woman and rushed into the courtyard, and at a glance she saw the old lady lying upright on the chair, as well as the gold and silver in front of her.
This dead girl, she really let her do it, this little thing on the ground is worthless and difficult to carry, and the silver ticket or something must have been swept away by the dead girl.
Damn it! originally wanted to use her to kill the old lady to steal the money, and then catch her and search out all the money, and then send her to the government to be punished.
Madame Jiang gritted her teeth with hatred, she couldn't just let her go, she had only been gone for an hour, she would definitely not run far, and she had to quickly persuade the master to arrest her back.
So, she pinched herself hard, tried to squeeze out a few tears, knelt in front of the old lady and cried a few times, and then pulled Master Jiang's sleeve: "Master, look at how miserable the old lady died, you must not let the murderer escape!" ”
Master Jiang is a spirit, by the way, the murderer! Where is the murderer? Who is the murderer?
He grabbed Mrs. Jiang's shirt: "Tell me quickly, what's going on?" How could my mother be so decent? Say it! ”
Mrs. Jiang was strangled and breathless: "Master, let go, let go!" ”
There was a bang in the house, and Master Jiang rushed in, and saw that several servants and Mrs. Zhong in this courtyard were all gagged and tied to chairs.
He personally stepped forward to pull out the rags from Mrs. Zhong's mouth: "Aunt Zhong, what's going on?" Who is it? Who killed my mother? ”
Mrs. Zhong was shocked: "Sister, she ...... What happened to her? ”
Mrs. Jiang, who came in later, said: "Go, it's miserable, you see!" ”
Madame Jiang got out of the way and let Mrs. Zhong see Mrs. Jiang's death clearly. Mrs. Zhong's face changed abruptly, and she fainted after a long howl. Master Jiang slapped her face hard to ask clearly, but he couldn't wake her up.
Madame Jiang pulled out the rags of the other servants' gags, and said sharply: "Say, who killed the old lady?" ”
Several servant women looked at each other in horror, "Madam, is it ...... It's Miss Xiaobai! ”
When Master Jiang heard this, his hands stiffened, and he suddenly turned his head and glared at her: "What? You repeat. ”
The servant woman said timidly: "Master, it's really Miss Xiaobai!" ”
Old Master Jiang stayed there with a blank expression, and Mrs. Jiang slapped the servant woman: "What nonsense? Is Miss White crazy? Why do you want to harm your own grandmother for no reason? ”
The servant woman hurriedly knelt down: "Madame spares her life, the slave doesn't dare to say anything, the old lady thinks that Miss Xiaobai always uses her biological mother's affairs to blackmail her, so that she doesn't dare to go out, and hates her for stirring up trouble in front of the master, so she asked Aunt Zhong to find the osmanthus in the eldest young master's room to poison Miss Xiaobai."
In the afternoon, the osmanthus came back to her life, saying that the matter was done, the old lady thought that Miss Xiaobai had really been poisoned and died, and she wanted the slave to poison the osmanthus to extinguish her mouth, but Miss Xiaobai suddenly jumped down from the tree, and knocked the slave and maid unconscious in a few strokes, and the slave and maid did not know about the later things.
