Chapter Ninety-One: Pursuit
"Fourth brother." Yinxiang didn't let people pass it on, so he directly pushed open the door of the study and walked in, and the dog had already told him that Yinzhen was back when he was outside just now.
Yin Zhen was sitting behind the bookcase looking at the fold, when he heard his voice, he raised his head and glanced at it, threw down the fold in his hand and said coldly: "Do you still know that I am your fourth brother?" Who allowed you to go to the Pure Meditation House without permission? ”
Yinxiang didn't expect him to get the news so quickly, and smiled awkwardly: "Isn't it that the fourth brother was not here just now, and I was worried about my sister-in-law, so I ...... it."
"So I'm going to put my ban on it as a deaf ear, huh." Yinzhen has always been cold, saying one thing or another, no one in the house dares to disobey, and this thirteenth brother who grew up together since childhood dares not to take his words seriously.
"Fourth brother, don't be busy blaming me, I'm here to tell you something important." Yinxiang knew that the fourth brother would not really be angry with himself, so he was not worried, took the tea handed by Zhou Yong, took a sip of the positive color and said: "Fourth brother, do you really think that the little sister-in-law drugged Li Fujin?" ”
"Why, don't you think so?" Yinzhen's tone was very flat, and he couldn't hear how he was happy or angry.
Yinxiang immediately elaborated on his suspicions and what Li Wei said, and said: "I know that this is the fourth brother's housework, and I shouldn't get involved in it, but I know very well that my sister-in-law will never do such a vicious thing." He said the last sentence categorically.
Unexpectedly, Yinzhen was not surprised when he heard that he suspected Li's fake pregnancy, but Xuan Yixuan's eyebrows calmed down, and after Yinxiang finished speaking, he took out a few pieces of paper from the small grid under the bookcase and handed it to him: "Look at it." ”
"Post-mortem report? And a confession? Yin Xiang looked at the top four words of the paper in his hand in amazement, "Fourth brother, what are you doing with this trick?" I'm not a lord sitting in the hall. ”
Yin Zhen tapped on the table where the sun was shining and said: "You can see clearly, this is the autopsy report issued by Shuntianfu, it is about the female corpse found in the river a month ago, and it is preliminarily determined that it should be an old woman in her fifties, who was disfigured and suffocated and thrown into the water." At that time, there happened to be a family to report that an old woman was missing, so Fu Yin concluded that the female corpse should be the missing old woman, but I don't know who the old woman had a grudge with and died a tragic death, and the case is still unsolved. ”
Although he can understand what Yinzhen said, Yinxiang is still confused, what does this have to do with him?
"The missing old woman's surname is Liu, and she is a well-known stable woman in Beijing, and she delivered the children of Xiu'er and Yueru that day." Yin Zhen said this lightly and made a gesture to take it back, "If you don't want to see it, you can return it to me." ”
"That's not going to work." When Yinxiang heard this, the paper he was about to throw was suddenly clenched tightly, and at the same time, a sudden smile appeared on his face, "It turns out that the fourth brother has long been suspicious and sent someone to investigate, but I am still thinking about how to convince the fourth brother." ”
Zhou Yong smiled and said: "As early as a month ago, the fourth master ordered the servants to investigate this matter, but he only ordered that he was not allowed to reveal the matter before the result, so the thirteenth master is the fourth to know the Tao in addition to the fourth master, the slave and the dog." ”
"I didn't suspect anything at first, I just wanted to be cautious so as not to wronged anything, but I didn't want to find out such a thing, Mrs. Liu was killed on the day she left the house after delivering the baby." Outside the window, the spring is splendid, but Yinzhen is depressed, no matter what the truth of this matter is, it is not a happy thing for him.
Yinxiang carefully looked at the submission and confession in his hand, and suddenly raised his head and said: "Fourth brother, this is not right, the confession said that Mrs. Liu had fallen and injured herself before, so there was a scar on her calf, but the autopsy did not mention this." ”
"I saw it too." Yin Zhen pinched his eyebrows and said: "I have asked Zhou Yong to confirm, it is not a mistake, it is that there are no scars on the corpse, and the deceased is unrecognizable, obviously I don't want people to recognize her, it is very likely that the corpse is not Mrs. Liu." ”
"So Mrs. Liu is not dead yet?" Yinxiang also understands that in this matter, Mrs. Liu is the key, as long as she is found, all problems will be solved.
Yin Zhen was just about to speak, when there was a sudden knock on the door outside, Zhou Yong hurriedly stepped forward to answer the door, and immediately came back and said: "Fourth master, I found it, I was hiding in my hometown, and I was on my way back to Beijing right now." ”
"Tell them to be careful." As soon as Yinzhen's voice fell, Yinxiang couldn't wait to ask but found Mrs. Liu, seeing Yinzhen nodding, he immediately clapped his hands happily: "God really has eyes, leave her alive in the world, it seems that she will soon be able to come to light." ”
Yin Zhen was not as happy as him, and faintly felt that something was wrong, if someone really chased and killed her, how could she escape as an elderly woman, and why did the killer find a corpse similar to Mrs. Liu to hide it for her?
Time passed in such a blink of an eye, and on an early morning in April when it was raining with spring rain, Yinzhen suddenly ordered everyone to be summoned to Hanyuanju.
It was the first time that such a summoning of the teachers was in the Yongjun Palace, and they knew that something big must have happened, and the women did not dare to slack off, and came to Hanyuanju successively, Yinzhen had not yet arrived, only the Nala clan sat on it, and after seeing the ceremony, the Song family asked in a low voice: "Can the fourth master know what happened to the fourth master who summoned us here?" ”
Nala stroked the gold tattoo on his sleeve and said gently: "The prince will be there soon, wouldn't it be better for my sister to ask the prince in person when the time comes?" ”
"Yes." Song touched a nose and sat down, not long after Nian's arrived, she was wearing a rose water red embroidered apricot forest Chunyan flag dress today, a pair of purple jade pearls hanging down from her hair, even in this slightly gloomy day is still shining, dazzling, after a shallow salute sat down next to the left head of the Nala clan, immediately a little maid served tea, Nian just took a sip and frowned and said: "This new tea has been served one after another, why is Fujin still using the old tea of the last year?" ”
Nala glanced at her and smiled: "This new tea has not been delivered yet, so we can only use the old tea first, if my sister is not used to drinking it, I will let them change the cup of fresh flower tea." ”
"No need." Nian put the teacup on the small table and said, "It's okay if you don't drink it for a while." The concubine thought that Fujin was reluctant to bring new tea to brew, but it turned out that it had not been delivered yet. She glanced at Lu Yi and said, "Later, I will send some of this year's Bi Luochun from the Internal Affairs Office to Chang Fujin." The prince knew that the concubine was not used to drinking old tea, so he specially sent new tea from the Internal Affairs Office to the concubine. ”
Nala's eyes dimmed and he smiled and said: "It's hard for my sister to have a heart, in fact, for me, whether it is new tea or old tea, it is a taste, not as picky as my sister." ”
Nian raised his eyebrows and chuckled, there was a hint of arrogance in it, and when he spoke, Li arrived, and said with a smile after saluting: "The concubine is late to ask Fujin for forgiveness, it should have come a long time ago, but before going out, Hongshi suddenly cried and couldn't stop crying, and it took a long time to calm down." ”
When she heard Hongshi, Ye Xiu, who had been sitting quietly next to her, suddenly had this longing in her eyes, if her daughter was alive, she would be the same as Hongshi now, crying or laughing......
Nala Shi looked at her deeply, and smiled: "You have to take care of Hongshi and Lingxi, naturally it is harder than us, and Hongshi is born prematurely, so you have to work harder to be a mother." ”
"The concubine has written it down." Li Shi bowed in to agree, and there was a slight pride in his eyes when he swept over the uncertain Nian.
