"Master Zhu, you are an expert, help me take a look, what kind of saw are these sawed? How long has it been sawed? ”

Mu Huanyan gave the piece of wood to Luo Zhen, Luo Zhen took it and handed it to Master Zhu, he took the piece of wood and looked at it carefully, sniffed it again, and then touched the marks at the incision with his hand.

"Miss Mu, from the smell of this piece of wood and the new and old Cheng dù of the incision is very light, you can tell that it is newly sawed, and then the gap between the incisions on it is very fine, and it is a small saw with the smallest teeth, this kind of small saw is generally used by some people with little strength."

"Master Zhu is really an expert, can you please write me a note for identification?"

Master Zhu nodded, Luo Zhen immediately prepared pen, ink, paper and inkstone, Master Zhu wrote down a note, and pressed his own seal. Mu Huanyan took out a gold ingot and said with a smile: "Master Zhu, please smile." ”

Master Zhu was not only stunned, but he was really a daughter of the door, and he was so generous, he had heard rumors about her in the market, she was a very wise woman, he had been a carpenter for decades, and now he was basically an apprentice, because he felt that Mu Huanyan was a special woman, so when Luo Zhen went to invite, he immediately followed her without saying a word.

"Miss Mu, this is really not needed, it's just a gesture."

"Master Zhu, you have done me a great favor this time, I know that you are a talented person, and you don't value these things outside your body, but this is a little bit of my heart, it has nothing to do with money, please be sure to accept it, otherwise I will not be happy in my heart."

"Since you've said it all, it's a bit hypocritical for me not to answer it. Well, if Miss Mu needs anything in the future, just look for me. ”

"Presumably, there will be times when Master Zhu will be tired in the future, because there are still things to deal with in the house, I won't keep you any longer, let Luo Zhen send you out of the house."

Master Zhu folded his hands and said goodbye.

Holding the piece of wood and hemp rope, Mu Huanyan fell into deep thought, and the evidence in his hand obviously pointed to Mu Jinge.

And Mu Jinge was already in a state of confusion at this moment, and went to Zhiyuanju to tell the Chen family about this matter.

"How can you kid act on your own. Didn't you say that you wouldn't do it? How could you be so disobedient? Chen was also a little anxious. After all, the emperor was frightened, and this is a big deal.

"I don't know why the croton powder didn't work, the guests were fine, and I was also anxious. If she makes another meritorious service. What can I do in the future? I had to think about myself and just messed up the birthday party. Mu Jinge hung his head, and he was frustrated again and again these days. She was getting more and more flustered.

"How could croton powder not work? Did she find out? Chen wondered.

"I don't know why it didn't work, Baoyue said that she was thrown in the well and left after watching the people in the kitchen go to fetch water, but Huan Yan shouldn't know about it, if she really knows, she will definitely say it."

"Since you've done it all, and there's no chance to regret it, have you done a good job in dealing with the aftermath?"

Mu Jinge nodded.

"Mother, let's not talk about this first, the emperor wants to give me a marriage to the third prince, it's really a matter of unsettled and renewal." As soon as Mu Jinge thought of this, he felt very distressed.

"Has the decree been decreed?"

"Not yet, but the emperor's golden mouth, the words have been spoken, and so many people have heard it, I'm afraid it won't change."

"Why did you suddenly say that you were going to marry the third prince."

Mu Jin Ge told the Chen family because she almost fell, and then she was held up by the third prince, and she was embarrassed to leave the scene, and then she heard Mu Huanyan tell her, she didn't believe it, and just asked some of the people at the scene, and they all said that the emperor did say so.

Chen comforted her and said: "Don't worry, you haven't made an order yet, what are you afraid of, even if you make an order, you haven't married yet, there will be variables." ”

After Luo Zhen sent Master Zhu out, he immediately rushed back.

"Eldest Miss, according to the maid, this must have been done by the second lady, she usually doesn't wait to see you, and she pretends to be nothing on the surface, but she does this kind of indiscriminate thing behind her back." Luo Zhen gritted her teeth with hatred, she has a relatively straight nature, so she especially hates the kind of person who pretends to come and go.

"The key evidence is not conclusive enough, is there a way for you to sneak into Lanxingju to find it, if you can find a rope and a saw in her room, you can confirm the evidence of her guilt."

"Okay, when it's nightfall, the servant will go and find it for you."

Of course, when she said these words, Chen Xue, who was hidden in the shadows, heard it clearly, but with Luo Zhen present, she would not appear.

It wasn't until the weather was getting dark and everyone in the house was about to fall asleep that Luo Zhen went out to run errands, and Chen Xue quietly entered Mu Huanyan's house.

"It seems that you are a smart person, and you have found out what happened during the day so quickly."

"Listen to your tone, as if you know something." Mu Huanyan said with a smile.

"Of course." Chen Xue took out a gauze bag and gave it to Mu Huanyan.

"What is this?"

"Just open it and see."

Unwrapped the yarn bag, there was a thin powder and a porcelain cup in it, what the powder was Mu Huanyan didn't know, but she knew the porcelain cup, and she had seen the cup in Chen's room.

Yarn bag? Cup? Powder? Mu Huanyan thought about it carefully, and immediately said, "This is croton powder, where did you find it?" ”

"You said that someone had drugged the dish, so I went around and found that the well in your house contained croton, and I fished this out of the well."

Mu Huanyan gritted her teeth and said, "It turned out that she really did it." ”

Chen Xue's lips raised, "You have made a lot of enemies." ”

"It's not that I want to make enemies, it's that they won't let me go! What I'm doing is just self-preservation. ”

"The evidence is given to you, and it's your business what you're going to do." After Chen Xue finished speaking, she left Mu Huanyan's room.

Chen, you are really ruthless, I believed in your mother and daughter so much in my last life, you can imagine how many things you have done to hurt me, but I regard you as my relatives. Thinking of his ignorance in his previous life, Mu Huanyan felt extremely ridiculous, presumably, at that time, the Chen mother and daughter didn't know how much they laughed at themselves in their hearts, Mu Huanyan was a fool!

You won't succeed, I will return everything you have done to me!

Chen, Mu Huanyan, you wait obediently, when I take the initiative to attack, you will not be as comfortable as you are now.

Luo Zhen went to Lanxingju to investigate, but did not find the hemp rope and saw, and was worried that he would be discovered if he stayed too long, so he quickly came back to tell Sù Mu Huanyan.

"It doesn't matter if you can't find it, as long as it can be explained that someone did it on purpose, and it's not my dereliction of duty."

"Miss, what should I do tomorrow morning?"

"I'll take care of it, it's not too early, you should rest early."

Because of the old lady's birthday, Mu Yaotian took a three-day vacation, and gathered at the Ci'an Hall for dinner in the morning, and Mu Huanyan also got up early to give the old lady tea and pay respects.

By the time she went, the courtyard was already full of people, and two tables had been set up.

The old lady sat on the main hall, and at this time, Mu Guozhong in the second room was kneeling on the ground, holding a cup of tea, and said: "Grandmother, please drink tea, grandson wishes you good health, a long life, the sun and the moon are prosperous, and the pine crane is always spring." ”

The old lady smiled and took the tea, took a sip, and placed the teacup on the table.

"What a good boy, come to your grandmother to reward you."

A red envelope fell into Mu Guozhong's hand, the old lady stretched out her hand and pulled him to stand up, I didn't see Mu Guozhong yesterday, today is the first time I saw him, Mu Huanyan remembered that he was apprenticed to practice martial arts in Yuehua Mountain, and he should have rushed back yesterday, Mu Guozhong is about the same age as himself, because of his martial arts, his figure is obviously stronger, but he is also a loyal person.

In the last life, Cheng Yun married him, the husband and wife, they were very affectionate, but it was a pity that Mu Guozhong later went to battle and killed the enemy, although he had great military achievements, he did die young and died on the battlefield in the end, how Cheng Yun lived later, Mu Huanyan himself didn't know very well.

Then Mu Yaotian also came over, and the people present gave the old lady a birthday one by one, and Mu Huanyan also got a big red envelope.

"Grandmother, father, after my investigation, I have an answer to yesterday's incident, and I ask my grandmother and father to decide." Mu Huanyan said slowly, and then took out the hemp rope and the account book, as well as the small piece of wood and Master Zhu's handwritten identification.

Mu Yaotian looked at the pile of things and asked, "What are these?" ”

"Back to my father's words, the wood and hemp rope were found at the stage where I collapsed yesterday, this small piece of wood was obviously sawn, the stage itself was very strong, and the cut of this wood was very smooth, if it was just closed in the original position, it would not be inverted and the stage would collapse. Unless there is an external force, this broken hemp rope was also found at the scene, presumably the person who deliberately made trouble used this hemp rope to pull this wood before the entire stage collapsed instantly, and it was a mess at that time, and everyone would not notice that someone was doing such a thing behind his back. I went to the steward's room to check, this hemp rope is available in our house, and this is the result of I asked Master Zhu to identify the piece of wood, it is a new mark, sawed with a small saw with small teeth, and small saws are mostly used for people with less strength. The evidence is here, and in my guess, it is very likely that it was done by someone in the house. ”

Mu Huanyan handed over all the evidence to Mu Yaotian's hands, at this time, Mu Jinge's whole face was hot, and a trace of fine sweat appeared on her forehead, she forcibly sued herself, calm and calm, all the things have been sent to someone else's room, no matter how Mu Huanyan checks, it is impossible to find out that she did it.

Mu Yaotian looked at the evidence, and then ordered: "If it is really done by the people in the mansion, these things will definitely be found, now search the whole mansion to see where the small saw and hemp rope are hidden?" Who ate the bear's heart and leopard's gall to do such evil things right under my nose? (To be continued......)
