So the second room has been out of her plans. Now that Linlang said that it was planted on the head of the second room, how much could it help her to help?

"Grandma!" Linlang walked over, "You don't know, do you?" The third girl now hates the second girl so much, as long as we plant this guilt on the second room, we will be in the fourth master's love for the third girl and the fourth young master, even if the fourth master does not say it on the face, he will inevitably be dissatisfied with the second room in his heart, doesn't grandma want to end this matter as much as possible? ”

Liu stared at her sideways: "The second room has nothing to do with this matter!" ”

Seeing that she never let go, Linlang couldn't help but say: "The slave doesn't know that grandma is such a bodhisattva!" Grandma, don't forget, now you have only given your uncle and wife 2,000 taels of silver, which is far from the 20,000 taels! If you didn't quickly close the case so that you could raise the remaining large sum of money, did you hope that your uncle would find out about that incident? ”

"You!"

Liu stood up and gritted his teeth to look at her.

Linlang raised her chin, looked at the large Hunan embroidered screen in the center of the house, and said coldly: "Don't hide it from grandma, on the day your uncle gave you the plate, she also gave an order to the slave and maid, if you don't raise the money on the specified date, then the slave and the maid will poke out the news for the uncle's wife!" When the time comes, you just wait for your wife to ask you! ”

Liu's teeth chattered: "Why do you listen to her so much?" ”

"Grandma hasn't guessed it yet?" Linlang sneered and sat down.

"As long as I finish this for my uncle's wife, she will take me back to serve my uncle-I grew up with my uncle, and when I go back to Liu's house, it will be a relief for you, grandma, right? So grandma, you better think about what I just said, and let everyone settle down! ”

Liu stood under the window, and suddenly grabbed the soft pillow on the couch and smashed it at her: "You get out of here!" ”

Linlang glared at her fiercely, raised her hand to open the curtain and withdrew. The pillow fell to the floor and rolled twice before stopping.

Liu leaned back weakly in the circle chair, recalling Pang Zi's screaming and evil words, and shivered all over his body.

There was no need to verify at all, she could be sure that Linlang was telling the truth. For the sake of money, Ponzi can definitely drive her to a dead end!

She is the third young grandmother of the noble Shen family, and when she goes out, people look up to her, how can she lose this qiē in her hand? What's more, she still has Shen Xin, she just doesn't think about herself, she has to think about her children! If Pang Zi poked things out, Shen Eun would be disgusted with her, the Shen family would not be able to tolerate her, and even her son would definitely retreat from her, and she would become a cousin with nothing, which would be even more embarrassing than Chen's situation......

Not only will she lose what she has now, but even if she returns to the Liu family, there will be no place for her, will such a mean person as Pang Zhai allow her to stay in the Liu family? Will she be allowed to jeopardize the reputation of her own children? …… If she can't get together the 20,000 taels of silver, not only will Liu Pu not be able to return home, but she will also lose all she has!

She clung to the edge of the table with both hands, and there was a crunch, and both half-inch-long nails were broken.

Shen Yan has been spending a lot of time in Rongyuan these days, and the Hua sisters are now familiar with Shen Yi and Lu Silan, and several people often gather together to guess the charade and draw patterns. The Lu family naturally knew about Aunt Wu's death, and even Mrs. Lu was guessing who the murderer was when she chatted with her husband in private, of course, these were private words in the boudoir, and Lu Silan also heard it inadvertently from her mother.

"My father said that if you don't report it to the authorities, it will be difficult to investigate this kind of case." When Lu Silan left the house, he talked to Shen Yan in a no-man's place under the hall. "After all, in order to cover the wind, many people can't be alarmed." She knew that Shen Yan had a headache about this case recently, so if she knew, she didn't say anything to her.

Shen Yan sighed: "I just want to report to the official, but now there is no way, everyone has already been buried in the ground, and it is impossible for my fourth uncle to agree to turn the body out again." "And will the Shen family stir up the public because of the death of an aunt, so that everyone will know about it? To be determined to find out the murderer in private is already amazing.

In fact, she also discussed this matter with Shen Mi in private, although Shen Mi did not preside over the judgment, but in the end he was a person in the officialdom, when he was in Jinling, he served as the magistrate of the county under his jurisdiction, and also judged some cases. But it's a pity that he hasn't seen the scene, and Shen Xuan has already exalted this Wu clan too much, so it is inconvenient to study it in detail, so he can only judge by guessing.

And his thoughts are similar to Shen Yan's, and they both think that the murderer is in urgent need of a large amount of money.

"First of all, we can determine that the murderer is still in the mansion, and he must have some understanding of Akiti-in. But since he knew about Qiutongyuan, then that box of jewelry should not be able to meet his needs, because if the purpose was only the jewelry worth two or three thousand taels, he would not have to risk murder.

"So my thinking is that this person should find another way to raise money in the future. -- But this is also my initial idea, and it cannot be completely based on evidence without evidence. ”

At that time, Shen Mi answered her daughter's question seriously in her busy schedule, and then went out with a stack of official documents.

Which house doesn't have one or two people dead in the back house? is not a serious master, he couldn't alarm the masters, but Shen Mi is benevolent by nature, and he has a close relationship with Shen Xuan, and it is Shen Yan who is carefully seeking advice, so he seriously thought about it. It's not always a matter for a man's family to think about the back house all day long.

So the rest of the things still have to be done by Shen Yan himself.

She watched Lu Silan leave outside the door, stunned by a bush of green thatch growing in the corner of the wall.

"What are you doing here?"

A voice came from behind with displeasure.

Shen Yan turned sideways, and the half-tall but tall and handsome young man in front of him, he frowned with his hands on his back, looking like he was not easy to mess with, it was Gu Song.

"I'll send Lu Silan." Shen Yan said. She didn't have the heart to argue with him now, she had to solve the mystery and find out how short of money this man was, and whether he was so short of money that he needed to plot Fahrenheit's large dowry for himself.

Gu Song looked at her tightly twisted eyebrows, covered his mouth and cleared his throat, and said mumudily: "I heard that something happened to your family?" ”

Although the Shen family is strictly guarded, he doesn't know exactly what's going on, but he still knows about the death of an aunt in their family. However, he didn't take this matter seriously, because it was too common for a life lawsuit to come to the back house, and the reason why he asked this was because he didn't know how to talk to her.

Since he didn't take advantage of the fire to rob Shen Yan, but returned it to him with a handkerchief wrapped around his spotted fingers, he decided to ease his relationship with her. But he rarely chats with people, even when he is with Han Ji, and he often does things like playing chess and fishing without talking much. He used to be disdainful and disdain those who were lowly and tacky, but now he found that he really couldn't talk.

"yes." Shen Yan nodded, and raised his eyes to hide from him: "You are well-informed." ”

It is really not a glorious thing for a man's family to pay attention to the affairs of other people's houses.

Gu Song's face was hot, and he turned to glare at her. If she doesn't hurt people, she will die!

But forget it, good men don't fight women.

Looking at her still frowning brows, he also frowned slightly and said, "Are you in trouble?" ”

Shen Yan hummed.

Gu Song's face softened a little, let go of the hand he was holding, shook the fan coldly a few times, and said, "Say it, I'll help you do it." ”

"You?" Shen Yan, who was immersed in thoughts, heard this sentence and suddenly raised the tail note and asked rhetorically.

Gu Song's face sank.

Sensing that it hurt other people's self-esteem, Shen Yan hurriedly laughed twice to cover it up.

It's not that she looks down on him, aside from the fact that he doesn't have much ink in his belly, he is a dignified little prince of the Rongguo Mansion, who goes out to guard a group of majestic people, and his appeal in terms of strength is leveraged, and in many cases, these external conditions he has are actually much more useful than her high-ranking official lady with ink in her belly, how can she look down on him?

It's just that she has a headache right now, how can he get involved?

"Forget it, I'll take care of it myself." She waved her hand and said.

Gu Song snorted coldly.

Farewell to him and returned to the room, Rouge walked in, and said: "On the order of the girl, a few of us have secretly visited in the past few days, but we have also found a few people who are short of money, such as the second aunt of the long house, the grandmother Zeng in the wife's courtyard, and Song He in our outer courtyard, but the amount borrowed by these people is very small, nothing more than three or five taels of silver." And the wife has also checked, and these people have no motive or time to kill. ”

Shen Yan groaned and said, "Then you go and check again, what outsiders have been to in the fourth room recently?" ”

In the absence of a clue, perhaps Shen Mi's speculation can be used as a direction.

Since the people in Qiutong Courtyard have been confirmed to be in the four-room main courtyard at the time of the crime, then on the other hand, it is true that no one was present in Qiutong Courtyard when the murderer committed the crime, if it is not from this courtyard, then how can the people in the outer courtyard know the location of Aunt Wu's jewelry box, and withdraw with money so short before Mama Lin arrived?

It must be that this person has been to the fourth room, is more familiar with the fourth room, and may even have been to Aunt Wu's room in Qiutong Courtyard, Aunt Wu placed the jewelry box under the dressing table, which is not a hidden place, this person accidentally met Aunt Wu when he went to find it, and even because he walked around a lot in the fourth room, it was very possible to hear such a news inadvertently.

Rouge listened to Shen Yan's instructions, but he didn't rush down, but thought about it first, and said: "When I inquired about the fourth room that day, I heard Du Juan from Qiutong Courtyard say this, saying that when Aunt Wu was seriously injured in bed, the third grandmother was very upset because she brought someone to beat her, so she sent Linlang to visit Aunt Wu. ”R1152
