Chapter 34: The Cause of Death
The corpse was dragged away, of course Ping An had to go back, he muttered to himself in his heart, or what the master said was right, this kind of rich and noble family, where is it really to do an autopsy, but it is just a formality, today I am afraid that this trip will run in vain, and if you can't get the money, you can't say that you will be held accountable by the Lin family. It's really unlucky!
Thinking like this, Ping An went into the house to pack his things, but when he came out, he saw Lin Yuan's master and servant staring at him with blazing eyes.
Lin Yuan glanced at Xianghe, and Xianghe hurriedly handed over an ingot of ten taels of silver.
"This is your reward for coming this time."
Ping'an took the silver, weighed it in surprise, and after figuring out the amount, he grinned at the corner of his mouth, "Thank you, Miss Lin." "The master has only saved forty taels of silver over the years, and he has only been out for a while, and he has got ten taels!
"No thanks." Lin Yuan replied, and as she spoke, she asked quietly, "I just don't know how my maid died?" ”
The hesitation in Ping'an's heart flashed away, and he replied, "That woman was indeed stabbed to death with scissors, and she should have died for no more than ten hours, and I haven't had time to find out the cause of the maid's death, but I only found out that the maid died before the woman, and she died for about a day and night, and she had been dead for about a day and twelve hours." After a pause, he said with some guilt, "I'm sorry, or I'll only take half of the silver?" ”
Lin Yuan's eyebrows raised, her face sank, she obviously looked carefully, although Xiangyue's corpse was disemboweled and disemboweled, there was no blood stain on the clothes with one sleeve, which clearly showed that Ping'an had finished checking and was putting on Xiangyue's clothes again. Why does Ping An lie? There is only one possibility, that is, Xiangyue did not commit suicide, but was victimized!
Lin Yuan stared at Ping An with burning eyes, but Ping An dodged and lowered his head.
"Xianghe will go and get ten taels of silver again." Lin Yuan explained.
Ping An hurriedly waved his hand, "No need, no need." "How can he still collect money?
Lin Yuan said lightly, "I thought that ten taels of silver could only buy the cause of death for one person." ”
Ping'an's face turned red.
Xianghe also saw something, and hurriedly begged, "Little brother, please sue us, don't let Xiangyue die in vain." ”
Ping'an didn't make a sound, only lowered his head, he didn't dare to say, looking at the old lady of the Lin family before, this thing really can't be said, he is just a little trick.
"Xianghe, go get the silver." Lin Yuan pulled Xianghe and said, "Ten taels is not enough, twenty taels, I think it is hard work for Xiangyue's autopsy." ”
Peace is getting more and more embarrassed.
Lin Yuan didn't seem to notice it, and still said, "I don't know what you did this job for, but you must be short of silver." As long as you are willing to say, as long as I can pay, I am willing to pay as much money as I want, and there is one more point, what you can say today, you can speak in my ears, and no one else will know. ”
Xianghe heard Lin Yuan say this, so he lifted his foot to get the silver.
And Ping'an's face turned red, and he called Xianghe, "Don't take the silver, I said." ”
Xianghe stopped.
Lin Yuan no longer opened his mouth to agitate.
"The maid really didn't kill herself, her back was covered with corpse spots, she was obviously lying on the ground when she died, and it took some time after her death to be disguised as hanged, and then I did an autopsy and found that she died of poison and rat poison." After Ping An finished his words in one breath, he only felt comfortable in his heart, if he couldn't speak for the dead, why did he do it?
"Thank you." Lin Yuan thanked him, and said to Xianghe, "Go and get ten taels of silver." ”
Ping An wanted to refuse, but was persuaded by Lin Yuan, "This is what you deserve, after all, you took the risk to say it." "Why didn't she know about the worries of peace?
Ping An thanked him gratefully, and only secretly looked at the little girl in front of him, who was only eight years old.
Xianghe took the silver and sent it away, but the old lady didn't stop, and Lin Guangcheng didn't come back.
"Mama Joe is back?" Lin Yuan returned to his small courtyard and asked San'er.
San'er shook her head and replied, "I haven't come back yet, but just now the Ci'an Yuan sent someone to say that the old lady was unwell, and she will use her lunch today." ”
"Got it." Lin Yuan replied and walked towards the house.
As soon as she sat down, she persuaded Xianghe, "Don't cry, Mama Qiao will definitely be able to find Xiangyue's body, and you will secretly go out with Mama Qiao to see Xiangyue tomorrow." ”
Xianghe wiped her tears and shook her head vigorously, "No, if someone finds out, you will be scolded by the old lady again." It's just that when the slave maid thinks of Xiangyue's tragic death, she feels sad. ”
"I'm sad too, but what should we do?" Lin Yuan muttered. She became more and more helpless, even if she knew the cause of Kazuki's death, what could she do? Just like the second wife Lin and the deity were killed, even if she already knew that the third room was involved, what could she do with the third room?
Hearing this, Xianghe cried again, "If only the old man was willing to make decisions for us." ”
"But as soon as the old lady stops me, my father will give up." Lin Yuan said dejectedly, "In this Lin Mansion, who else can I ask for?" ”
For a long time, the master and servant were speechless.
Xianghe wiped away her tears fiercely, "Miss, don't think about it, let's be careful in the future, just wait for you to get married." ”
Lin Yuan was silent, but she was unwilling in her heart. She is a dignified woman, why is she bullied so much? These people have lost their conscience, and their lives are gone, why didn't God come to accept them!
The more Lin Yuan thought about it, the more unwilling she became, and the more she thought about it, the more angry she became, and she stood up suddenly.
"I'll go out for a walk."
Xianghe hurriedly said, "You haven't used your lunch yet, can you go back after using it?" ”
"No, I'm going to take a break." Before Lin Yuan could finish speaking, he had already raised his feet and walked out of the house.
Xianghe thought about it and didn't follow.
Lin Yuan paced slowly, seemingly aimless, but in fact, she went straight to the Treasure Pavilion, the only way she could think of was to find the help of the old aunt and grandmother, although she hadn't thought of how to get the favor of the old aunt and grandmother.
The treasure pavilion is in the west of the Ci'an Courtyard, the courtyard is full of flowers, and it is very conspicuous in the Lin Mansion, which shows that the old aunt and grandmother were very favored at home before leaving the pavilion.
Lin Yuan stood in front of the courtyard gate of the Treasure Pavilion, but he hesitated and didn't know how to open his mouth when he entered.
At this time, Lin Yuan heard a voice from the courtyard.
"Grandma, I'll go out for a walk."
After a while, I saw Ji Zongyu out of the courtyard.
Lin Yuan couldn't dodge, and smiled at Ji Zongyu awkwardly.
Ji Zongyu said with a smile, "Fourth Miss is here to meet the eldest grandmother?" ”
Lin Yuan nodded, and shook his head hurriedly, "I'm just shopping around." ”
Ji Zongyu smiled and said, "I heard that the maid in your house has suffered an accident, and the mourning is smooth. ”
Lin Yuan was moved, and her eyes turned red. Ji Zongyu was the first person to comfort her for Xiangyue's death, everyone told her, just a subordinate, just a subordinate, but Xiangyue is the person she regards as a relative!
"Thank you." Lin Yuan replied with a nasal voice.
