However, he said that Sun Shaozong was sketching the case on paper, and overheard a report from outside, saying that Lin Xiuyuan, the uncle of the Lin family, had come over, saying that he wanted to discuss something important with Sun Shaozong.

This is someone's territory, does Sun Shaozong have any reason to see it?

went out in person at the moment and welcomed Lin Xiuyuan into the living room.

After the two of them sat down, Lin Xiuyuan immediately clarified his intentions: "Lord Sun, my father's body should have been inquest last night, right?" I wonder if we can set up a hall and offer incense to pay respects? ”

This Sun Shaozong has no reason to object.

Just as he was about to respond, his heart suddenly moved again, and he hurriedly changed his words: "Since it is to set up a spiritual worship, can we reconvene the people who have been dismissed from the mansion?" One enters the friendship of master and servant, and the other may be able to ask some other clues from their mouths. ”

In fact, early in the morning, Sun Shaozong thought about reconvening the subordinates who had been dismissed from the Lin Mansion for interrogation.

But the manpower of Dali Temple is not very sufficient, and before the Lin Mansion has not thoroughly investigated, it is really impossible to distinguish manpower to search for the small two hundred people outside the city.

Lin Xiuyuan hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded and said: "Then Lin will let people release the rumor later, saying that his father left a will when he was dying, and he would give a month's regular money to the whole house, and all the old servants who came to worship had a share." ”

This Uncle Lin is really an informed and interesting master, and he has some skills, with his full support, the people of Dali Temple are really convenient to investigate the case.

Provided, of course, that he is not a murderer himself!

Since Lin Xiuyuan took the initiative to find it, Sun Shaozong naturally would not let go of this opportunity, so he took the opportunity to ask if there was a suspected place in this mansion where there was a secret room.

Immediately afterwards, he knocked on the side to find out why Lin Qisheng insisted on dismissing his personal servant.

However, Lin Qisheng couldn't say why, no matter what the secret room was, although he was under one person in this mansion, it was still too small compared to his father's authority.

But whenever Lin Qisheng is dictatorial, he, who is a son, only has the share of leading orders, how dare he chase after him to get to the bottom of it?

But it's not all for nothing.

At least when Sun Shaozong asked about the reconstruction, Lin Xiuyuan said that about three years ago, the mansion did carry out a reconstruction.

Three years?

At this point in time, it was somewhat unexpected by Sun Shaozong.

He originally thought that if the secret room hadn't existed from the beginning, it would probably have been made by Lin Qisheng after his temperament changed drastically.

But why was it three years ago?

Forget it, don't care about anything else for now, and follow this clue to see if you can find some clues.

After getting Sun Shaozong's request, Lin Xiuyuan was still very cooperative, and immediately ordered someone to find the official family and asked about the Yaxing that was built that year.

However, the tooth shop is only an intermediary, and the connection with both sides is relatively loose, and now after three years, no one dares to pack a ticket whether they can find the craftsman of the year.

After laying out the task of going to Yaxing to investigate, Lin Xiuyuan also hurried to set up the order hall.

Sun Shaozong picked up the straw paper that had just been smeared, combed it again, and made sure that there were no new ideas emerging, so he decided to start the second round of questioning.

In this round, the objects he focused on interrogating were first, the masters who were recognized as having grievances against Lin Qisheng, and second, those who claimed to have seen Lin Qisheng in the past five days.

In addition, there are also the three concubines that Lin Qisheng has pampered - especially the last one, if she is the accomplice of the murderer, then a series of actions such as killing, hiding corpses, and Li Daitao's stiffness can be completed that night.

And the first person to be summoned to Sun Shaozong was Wang Peng, the steward from the Qingqing Prairie.

According to the statistics of the officials, this Wang Peng is only twenty-nine years old this year, but he looks very old, and even the hair on his head is sparse, and he has obviously fallen into a mid-life crisis in advance.

"Qingtian Lord Mingjian!"

As soon as Wang Peng entered the door, he hurriedly grabbed the ground with his head, and said pitifully: "Although my mother-in-law did have an affair with the master, she ...... But before she married me, she was the master's maid! ”

"The left and right are also left over by the old man, and they were thrown to the villain, and now it's just picking it up and chewing it twice, what's the matter? The villain didn't complain at all......"

Sun Shaozong suddenly interrupted him: "How did this official hear that you have beaten your wife several times because of this?" ”

Originally, I felt that this guy was a little pitiful, but looking at his obscene words that he tried his best to get rid of, his sympathy for him suddenly came to naught.

"This ......"

After eating this question, Wang Peng suddenly got stuck, and said in a cold sweat for a while: "The villain has no complaints in his heart, that must be impossible - but I have the courage to poison the master!" ”

This ruffian!

No wonder he caught Lin Qisheng behind the bed, and he was still able to keep the position of the steward.

Or maybe he actually went to blow the flute that day?

continued to interrogate a few words, but this Wang Peng was just blindly frightened.

Seeing that there was nothing useful to ask, Sun Shaozong signaled left and right, took this Wang Peng out, and then summoned the next suspect in.

This person is none other than Wang Peng's wife, Zhao Yingying.

Zhao Yingying, now twenty-seven, is a standard petite woman, when she was married to Wang Peng, Lin Qisheng was preferring plump women, and naturally did not have much nostalgia for her.

It's just that I didn't expect that seven or eight years later, Lin Qisheng changed his taste again......

However, unlike her petite body, after Zhao Yingying entered the door, she held her head high and was not afraid at all.

When asked by Sun Shaozong about his behavior in recent days, she answered the question: "I'm just a plaything of the master, how did he die, where will I know?" ”

After a pause, he added indifferently: "But if the adults want to take someone to deal with casually, the women are willing to confess, and I won't be able to survive anymore!" ”

This woman......

Either the acting skills are too high, so that people can't see the flaws.

Either that, or really have already spawned the will to die.

Having said that, while being bullied by Lin Qisheng, who is nearly seventy years old, she has to endure the beating of her husband, and she has to endure the strange eyes of others, it is normal for an ordinary woman to have an emotional breakdown because of this.

Neither of these two in a row could ask anything.

Sun Shaozong decided to temporarily change the plan and dry out the bitter and hateful ones first, starting with the three favored concubines.

The first to be brought in was the youngest suspect, the thirteenth aunt, the twenty-two-year-old Zhang Xi - she was the first favored concubine after Lin Qisheng drove away the little girl around her.

This Zhang Si was married into the Lin Mansion six years ago, when Lin Qisheng was about to be in the transition period from plump to petite, so this Zhang Si has the beauty of both, but it is not like the later ones, all of them are as weak as Xi Shi.

And her performance was finally much more normal, and after falling to the ground tremblingly, she didn't dare to take the initiative to speak.

"The officer asked you."

Sun Shaozong asked solemnly: "When Lord Lin spent the night with you that day, what was abnormal?" ”

"Anomalies?"

When Zhang Xi heard this, he glanced up at Sun Shaozong with a strange face, and then hurriedly lowered his head and said, "It seems to be ...... There's nothing wrong with that. ”

This is to conceal something.

Syllable~

Sun Shaozong immediately slapped the table and shouted, "Is there or not?" If you dare to perfunctory your own official again, be careful of the punishment! ”

"This ...... This ......"

Zhang Xi's frightened face turned white, and he looked at the scribe in charge of recording the confession in a panic, and said again: "My lord, this is ...... There are some things that the slave and maid really can't say. ”

"Humph!"

Sun Shaozong snorted coldly, and shouted in a pretentious manner: "Come on, ...... this secretive woman"

"Adults spare their lives, adults spare their lives! The slave and maid said, "That's it!" ”

At this time, Zhang Xi didn't dare to hesitate, and hurriedly described the scene of that night carefully.

It's actually nothing unusual to say, but that night, Lin Qisheng couldn't get hard because of his poor state.

Considering that Lin Qisheng is already sixty-nine years old, this is simply normal.

Therefore, Sun Shaozong was a little disappointed, and asked again: "What else?" But there are other anomalies. ”

Zhang Xi seemed to be a little surprised by Sun Shaozong's cold reaction, looked up at Sun Shaozong in surprise, and snorted, "No...... Nope. ”

It was this surprised glance that made Sun Shaozong vaguely aware of something, so he hurriedly asked: "Then when you got along with Lord Lin in the past, did a similar situation happen?" ”

"It's not that it's not completely absent, but it's only occasionally ...... after the old man has been running around and working hard."

Zhao Yingying blushed and said, "And I helped the master and the master that day...... After never getting better, the old man was not annoyed by this, but slept very sweetly at night. ”

Sun Shaozong once again grasped the point: "You mean to say that in the past, whenever a similar situation occurred, Lord Lin would be annoyed and angry, but this time he made an exception?" ”

"Hmm."

Zhang Lu nodded, his face became more and more red: "Although the master is old, he has never refused to obey the old, especially in this regard." ”

That's a bit odd to say.

Sun Shaozong groaned slightly, then ordered Zhang Xi to retreat first, and then called the other two concubines in, and after entering the door, he didn't care about anything else, and asked Lin Qisheng about his performance that night.

As a result, Lin Qisheng is really soft to the end!

And these two times, he was also not angry.

The only difference is that in the mouths of these two concubines, Lin Qisheng seems to be extremely tired.

This is even more strange!

If he is said to be more and more tired because he is suddenly inactive and under great psychological pressure, it stands to reason that he should be more and more irritable every time.

But how did he accept it with uncharacteristically calm?

Could it be ......

In fact, there are other reasons for his situation, so he doesn't care about whether the sexual affairs with the three concubines are harmonious at all.

Or, did he go to spend the night in the three-room concubine's house to cover up something?
