Shuangquan knelt down weakly and kowtowed, Gu Qingwan glanced at Hong Jin, and Hong Jin hurriedly helped her up.

"Princess, the slave maid was closer to Mama Ji at that time, and I am afraid that the person had already killed Mama Ji before pushing Mama Ji into the water. The slave maid looked at what she was rummaging for on Mama Ji, and was later startled by Sister Fuman's voice, so she fled in a panic. Sister Fuman said to let the slave maid go to watch Mama Ji, and she went to talk back to the princess. ”

The slave maid was the first to arrive and rushed to Mama Ji's side, thinking about what the previous person was looking for, and she was curious, only to find that Mama Ji was carrying thousands of taels of silver tickets. The slave thought that there must be something hidden, so she did not squeak. Shuangquan glanced at the eldest lady, and then said, "Later, the slave and maid went to the princess to talk back, and the princess also asked the slave and maid not to make a fuss. The princess said that Mama Ji will change her longevity clothes later, and the person is unwilling, he will definitely come to get back the silver before, and we only have to guard Mama Ji's body. ”

The slave maid and Sister Fuman stayed in the dark of the Fuqin Pavilion for a while, and the grandmother who came to change the shroud did not see it, but saw a mother-in-law tiptoe into the firewood room. Although the man changed his clothes, his figure was quite similar to the person who pushed Mama Ji into the water. Sister Fuman locked the door of the firewood room, and the slave maid guarded the door, and after a while she came in and beat her, trying to let the people in the firewood room come out. ”

Shuangquan pointed to the person kneeling on the ground, she also suffered some minor injuries between the pushes, and was helped by Hongjin to step aside after replying.

Gu Qingwan glanced at the eldest lady, and said with a cold face: "Fuman and Shuangquan have said it clearly, presumably the cause and effect of the eldest aunt should also know." ”

The eldest lady didn't know what she was thinking, and her face was not very good-looking. His eyes swept over the grandmother who was kneeling on the ground, all with a slight chill.

The grandmother who was kneeling on the ground was her person, but she didn't know when she got up after eating the steak.

"Madame went around the old slave, and the old slave was confused for a while. I became greedy. It was the man who said that he had a good idea and promised me a hundred taels of silver, and the old slave let her in, and the lady was gracious. The princess is gracious. She was tied like a meat dumpling, and she couldn't move her hands and feet, so she could only crawl on the ground with her entire upper body, and keep kowtowing.

Gu Qingwan naturally recognized this mother-in-law, and seeing that the eldest lady didn't speak, Gu Qingwan laughed: "Since she is the eldest aunt's person, she must have nothing to do with this matter." I'm afraid it's just that she sees the money. When the real murderer is tried, I won't pursue this mother-in-law, just let the eldest aunt deal with it. ”

The eldest lady breathed a sigh of relief and pondered for a moment before saying, "Bring this evil slave back to the Humble Administrator's Hall." ”

The voice was calm and waveless, but the light rain standing next to her knew that the eldest lady was really angry. didn't dare to squeak, and hurriedly called the two little maids around him to take someone out.

"Bring in the people who are locked in the firewood room."

As soon as the words fell, a thin woman was pushed in, and it seemed that she had been waiting outside the door for a long time. She was also tied up all over her body, her hair was scattered, and she didn't know if she was beaten outside, and her face was blue and purple, and she couldn't see her original appearance.

The mother-in-law who escorted her in followed the instructions of the eldest lady and raised the mother-in-law's head. Gu Qingwan and the eldest lady took a closer look, and they both felt that this mother-in-law's eyes were tight.

"Do you know what you've done, and who is the mastermind?" Gu Qingwan only glanced at it and then stopped looking, just lightly clasped the lid of the teacup in her hand. The sound of the collision of the porcelain knock in the quiet and silent environment, one by one, the regular sound of one by one makes people panic.

The woman trembled, and kept kowtowing like the previous person: "The old slave doesn't understand what the princess said. The old slave just, just looked at the silver ticket in Mama Ji's hand, and was greedy, so he touched it. After speaking, the mother-in-law howled and cried, "The princess and Mrs. Mingjian, if you want to kill someone, the old slave will never dare." On weekdays, even if you kill a chicken, you are afraid, let alone kill someone. ”

"How do you know that Mama Ji has silver on her?" The eldest lady opened her mouth to ask, and saw the maid outside coming in with a wooden pallet, which was dozens of silver tickets. Because it was wrapped in oilcloth, even if Mama Ji entered the water, the silver ticket was also intact.

The woman kept kowtowing: "The old slave is doing rough work in the outer courtyard, and today he was temporarily transferred to the inner courtyard, and it happened to be in the Silin Garden." At noon, the old slave was lazy and quietly went to the nearby garden to rest for a while, and saw Mama Ji sneakily hiding behind a rockery to count the silver tickets. Later, the old slave heard that Mama Ji had fallen into the water, and he didn't hear anyone say anything about the silver ticket, so he became greedy. ”

Silinyuan is a small courtyard in the south of Ermenli, which has also been vacant for a long time. Gu Qingwan brought a lot of rough mothers-in-law and little maids with her when she returned to Ning this time, and those people couldn't all be brought with her, so she placed them all in Silin Garden.

After the woman finished speaking, she subconsciously glanced at Gu Qingwan, and when she saw her condescending and coldly looking at herself, she couldn't help but shudder. When she lowered her head, the woman kept kowtowing and begging for mercy, and after a while, blood was seen on the ground.

Weiyu had already gone outside to inquire about the identity of this grandmother, and she had heard it clearly before and after entering the house, and the basic situation was also correct.

This mother-in-law's surname is Qu, and she was married twice before entering the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion to work, and it makes people feel a little pitiful when she comes to life.

Five years after his first marriage, he was divorced because he had nothing to do. Later, he married a widower, but he had never been pregnant for nearly ten years, and later learned that this Qu Pozi was actually a "stone girl". When she was divorced for the second time, both her parents died, and her two brothers were unwilling to take in this younger sister, so they had no choice but to come out to find a job by themselves.

But at that time, she was already in her early thirties, and she didn't have any outstanding skills, which mansion would ask her to do the work? Later, a housekeeper lady in the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion looked at her pitifully, and this was the place for her.

It's just that no matter how pitiful his life experience is, now his hands are also covered with blood.

If that mother-in-law panicked, Gu Qingwan might believe it for a point or two. But this Mrs. Qu was too calm, except for the fear shown on the outside, she still answered the questions in a clear and eloquent manner, as if she had arranged them before.

This is extremely inconsistent with what Weiyu said, Qu Pozi's timid and fearful temperament. Besides, she naturally believed in Fuman and Shuangquan, since they said that this Qu Pozi was somewhat similar to the back of the murderer, Gu Qingwan only believed that this Qu Pozi was the murderer.

"Give you a second chance, who is the one who instructed you to kill people? If you say it, I won't blame you. For Mrs. Qu, who was crying with blood on her forehead, Gu Qingwan was not moved at all, but asked again with a cold face.

"Princess Mingjian, the old slave is just greedy for a while, how can he dare to kill." Mrs. Qu also cried loudly, "The princess spared the old slave." ”

The eldest lady glanced at Gu Qingwan, and saw that her eyes were dark, and she was also angry, so she only said loudly: "It seems that you won't admit it without some means, take people down, and the cane will be punished twenty, just in the courtyard." ”

Seeing a few mothers-in-law dragging Mrs. Qu down, the eldest lady said behind her: "Open the courtyard door, let those slaves, those things that eat inside and outside, listen to it, and don't take the master in your eyes because you have an old face, what is the end!" ”

The eldest lady's voice was cold, and even the light rain around her was a little frightened. The eldest lady scolded the domestic slaves, or when she first married into the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, she used it to deter those slaves. The power of the house has been grasped by the eldest lady in these years, and her methods have slowly become gentle, and when she is angry again, she will only drive those people into the Zhuangzi in Qizhou.

Although in Weiyu's opinion, it is better to go to Zhuangzi in Qizhou to play a twenty-big board.

She knew that the eldest lady was angry with the mother-in-law who ate inside and outside before, and there was no blood in the house all these years, but there were really some people who were ready to move.

After a while, the screams of Mrs. Qu spread unabashedly, and the maids and women who inquired about the news outside the courtyard all left in a hurry with pale faces. The twenty boards are mainly used by the eldest lady to kill chickens and monkeys, and there are some pauses in the interval between each board, which takes a stick of incense for a long time.

Hearing the screams outside the Fuqin Pavilion, everyone was in danger.

When she was brought in again, Qu Pozi looked like she had been fished out of the water, covered in sweat, and her face was as pale as paper.

Looking at her current appearance, Gu Qingwan couldn't feel a little pity. Is it because she determined that Qu Pozi was the murderer, or because it was the eldest lady who ordered the execution, or because Xiao Sun unexpectedly killed the killer, which made her a little numb to these things?

Gu Qingwan was a little irritable in her heart, she closed her eyes, but listened to the eldest lady: "What do you have to say?" ”

Mrs. Qu shook her head weakly.

"Take it down and fight again, and stop if she's willing to say it." The eldest lady waved her hand with disgust in her eyes. Gu Qingwan opened her eyes in surprise, and saw that the grandmother who was carrying Mrs. Qu nodded slightly.

The screams in the courtyard rang out again, and Gu Qingwan thought about Fang Cai's grandmother's eyes, and her heart was not good. The eldest lady's mind is afraid that this matter is too big involved, but she just wants to kill the Qu mother-in-law, and it will be a hundred.

Gu Qingwan just wanted to stop the executioners outside, but before she could beat the two boards, she heard Qu Pozi say in a loud voice: "Don't fight, don't fight, I'll move, I'll move." ”

The eldest lady and Gu Qingwan were a little stunned, and Mrs. Qu was finally brought in. It's just that she was as normal as Gu Qingwan expected, she only said that she was motivated by wealth, so she killed Mama Ji. When he wanted to search Mama Ji's body, he was discovered by Fuman and Shuangquan, and hurriedly abandoned Mama Ji and fled.

It's just that she couldn't bear the silver, so she took the opportunity to touch the firewood room, but she didn't expect to be caught.

The eldest lady breathed a sigh of relief, she glanced at Gu Qingwan, and then said angrily: "You dare to do such a thing, no wonder me." ”

As he spoke, he ordered someone to tie up Mrs. Qu and send her to the yamen.

Gu Qingwan listened to the eldest lady's temper for a long time, and suddenly said, "Auntie, I have a reluctant request. After beating her 20 boards, there is a suspicion that she will be beaten, but I don't want to do this. I also asked my aunt to send this mother-in-law to our Ruiwang Mansion, and I and the prince made our own decision. ”

Not only was the eldest lady stunned, but even the Qu Pozi, who was kneeling on the ground, also panicked. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. )
