(672) Clues and rouge

With a sword sealing his throat, Meng Xiyuan was lying in a pool of blood, without the slightest movement, obviously dead.

"Miss, slave...... The slave maid ......" Dong'er trembled with fright, and her teeth chattered.

Originally, she heard that the moon season of the garden had opened, so she wanted to pick a few branches and go back to Yao Menglin, but she didn't want to enter the garden and ran into Meng Xiyuan. This Meng Xiyuan didn't know what kind of demon he was in, but he kept following her, and his words were frivolous. And just now, Meng Xiyuan was moving his hands and feet on her, but somehow a cold light flashed, and then a burst of warmth splashed on her face.

When she saw it clearly, she realized that the warm liquid was the blood spurting from Meng Xiyuan's throat. When he screamed, Meng Xiyuan fell to the ground like a puddle of mud.

“…… Miss...... The slave doesn't know...... I don't know......" Dong'er tried her best to explain, but she was too frightened, how could she say it clearly.

Lin Mengyao hurriedly untied the cloak on her body, wrapped Dong'er tightly, and then held her hand tightly, and said, "Help your master go back first, remember, you must be calm, and don't let the people in the courtyard see any clues...... After I went back, I found time to change my clothes, and as for this bloody body, I quickly burned it......"

After some advice, Lin Mengyao pushed Dong'er to Yao Menglin, who was scared silly.

Just hearing Meng Xiyuan's words, Yao Menglin was naturally resentful, but she didn't expect that in a moment, Meng Xiyuan would die in front of them, unclear.

"Sister, you and Dong'er hurry back-"

Lin Mengyao had a burst of advice, urging Dong'er and Yao Menglin to go back.

The two left, and Lin Mengyao said coldly: "Come out!" ”

A small figure jumps from a tree. It was Yao Ziwen's faction before Lin Mengyao was the green child by his side. Lu'er knelt down on one knee in front of Lin Mengyao: "I've seen Miss-"

"You still think I'm your young lady?" Lin Mengyao's face was gloomy, and she sneered: "You have been hiding so far, even my father doesn't know what you are doing!" ”

Lu'er, who hung her head, turned pale, but she didn't speak.

"Whether you admit it or not, I see it in my eyes. If you are really as your father said, you are average, and you only protect me well, how can you seal your throat with a sword and take Meng Xiyuan's life! Lin Mengyao stared at Lu'er who hung her head in front of her, and continued: "Besides, the heart of killing people without blinking is not what a little maid in the prime minister's mansion should have. Go ahead. Who are you! ”

Lu'er thought for a while and said, "Miss don't worry, although Lu'er is not from the Prime Minister's Mansion, she is absolutely loyal to Miss!" ”

Loyalty?

Speaking of which. I only got along with Lu'er for more than 20 days. She, Lin Mengyao, has no kindness to her. Second, there is no favor for it. How can you inexplicably get the loyalty of this person who is not the same heart as Yao Fu!

However, there is no need for this Lu'er to lie to herself, let alone when the Yao family is defeated.

"Who the hell are you?" Lin Mengyao couldn't help but ask again.

Lu'er got up. Said respectfully: "Miss will always know, but for now, please ask Miss to clear her innocence-"

Lu'er is right, Meng Xiyuan died, and she was the only one on the scene, so she would naturally be questioned. At this point, Lin Mengyao temporarily put her suspicions about Lu'er to heart and went straight to Wang Yuzhou - now the only one who can give her an alibi is Wang Yuzhou, because Wang Yuzhou helped Meng Ai heal, and it is reasonable for her to come to him.

Not long after Lin Mengyao worked in Wang Yuzhou, the people of Mengfu were panicked, a group of chickens and dogs jumped up, and Meng Xiyuan died in the garden, and he had already been discovered.

Meng Xiyuan died inexplicably, which was a big blow to the Meng family, and it was even more unbearable for Zhu Huaxiu. Zhu Huaxiu protects her shortcomings, but there are also biases among her three children, and she is the most concerned about Meng Xiyuan, because her temperament is the closest to Zhu Huaxiu. However, how could the people who had eaten together at noon die in the garden in less than an hour? Or was he killed by someone piercing his throat?

Zhu Huaxiu was grief-stricken and scolded the guards in the garden. However, people are dead after all, and after Zhu Huaxiu's grief, he thought of arresting the murderer and breaking the corpse into thousands of pieces to comfort Meng Xiyuan's soul in the sky.

To arrest the murderer, it is not just lip service, you have to find clues from the dead Meng Xiyuan, so that the murderer can be slowly investigated and punished. It's just that Meng Fu and the others couldn't see the abnormality in the place where the crime occurred, and they didn't find any clues.

Zhu Huaxiu's eyes were red from crying, and her chest was like a boulder, but she still calmly assigned people to perform their duties.

After a short time, the guards sent out to ask for the servant returned, and it was naturally followed by the most senior servant in Jinghua. The surname is Liu, known as Liu Yishou, and he is the leading figure in Jinghua's work. He was originally directly under Jinghua Mansion, and the Meng family was not moved, but although Zhu Huaxiu's identity could not be disclosed, he was always the identity of the eldest princess, so Liu did not dare to slack off, so he came to Meng Mansion.

Liu Yishou also knew a lot about Meng Xiyuan, and knew that he was not a serious son, but because of Zhu Huaxiu's relationship, he was appointed by the emperor to use it in the military department. It's just that it's only been a month since he took office, why did he die?

-- The guards of the Meng family did not dare to say anything about the murder of Meng Xiyuan.

Zhu Huaxiu lost his son, so he didn't have the heart to greet Liu Yishou, and he didn't even give him a sip of tea, so he hurriedly took him to Meng Xiyuan's courtyard. At this moment, Meng Xiyuan's body was parked in the house.

For the negligence of the Meng family, Liu Yishou was full of displeasure, but his face was also a little sad with Zhu Huaxiu. Liu inspected Meng Xiyuan's body with one hand, which was meticulous and took a long time.

"Master Liu, what did you find?" Zhu Huaxiu asked coldly.

Liu Yishou was stunned for a moment, and was taken aback by Zhu Huaxiu's regain of his composure so quickly. Meeting his cold eyes, he swallowed his saliva and said: "The second son was pierced through his throat with a hidden weapon and died, the secret weapon was not quenched, but it was also a sword to seal his throat, which shows that his strength is great, and he is a practitioner......"

Lian Jiazi?

Zhu Huaxiu frowned, she was suspicious of Lin Mengyao, but when Liu Yishou said this, she hesitated: "I naturally know this, has Master Liu found anything else?" ”

Liu turned around Meng Xiyuan again, and when he got the direction above his head, facing the sun, his eyes narrowed, and he reached out and picked up a long hair from Meng Xiyuan's body, and the neckline with the long hair seemed to rub some rouge.

Liu Yishou told Zhu Huaxiu truthfully, and Zhu Huaxiu hurriedly called the rich grandmother who was in charge of rouge gouache in the house.

That rich grandmother is Zhu Huaxiu's most trustworthy, and many secret things are sent by her, such as the distribution of rouge gouache in the Meng Mansion. The rich grandmother entered the door, gave Zhu Huaxiu a salute, and went directly to look at the rouge.

It's not that Mama Fu doesn't understand how to slap her feet, it's just that she knows how to watch the situation - Meng Xiyuan has just died, and no matter how clever she is, she can't please her!

Mama Fu looked at the rouge carefully, was startled for a long time, looked at Zhu Huaxiu, hesitated but very determined: "Madam, this is rouge dew-"

Rouge?!

The three words made Zhu Huaxiu's face turn pale, and she gritted her teeth with hatred: "Rich Mama, you call me three or five strong people, take the board and follow me-" (To be continued.) )
