Chapter 707: The Miao family meets the barbarian princess again
"I'm bringing you here today to crack this case, I hope you don't panic, it's just a routine! Unrelated people who are not involved in the case will naturally leave safely, don't worry! ”
Seeing this woman with a calm face like water and a look in her eyes that instantly calmed down, everyone couldn't help but slowly quiet down and began to cooperate with the interrogation.
The result of the final investigation was that in addition to the two servants who had taken leave before, the two old servants who were dismissed due to poor physical condition, and the fifth aunt who was sick and recuperating in the house did not come.
"Fifth Aunt didn't come?" A look of doubt rose in Su Zhenzhen's eyes.
As far as Su Zhenzhen knows, it took a lot of trouble for these five aunts to enter this Taishou Mansion......
The only daughter in Lian Jing's family, the sixteen-year-old Forsythia entered the Taishou Mansion and became the fifth aunt of Tang Taishou.
That's all Su Zhenzhen knows, as for the details, she doesn't know.
I heard that these five aunts had a short-term search two months ago and threw themselves into a well in the Taishou Mansion, but they were later salvaged and did not die.
Since then, the fifth aunt has been sick, and Su Zhenzhen has never seen her after living in the Taishou Mansion for a few days.
At this time, all the people have been checked, Tang Taishou seemed to be kind on the surface when he was alive, but in fact, he was a thunderbolt to his subordinates and relatives, so everyone was very cautious and did not dare to make too many mistakes, so everyone was doing their own duties, and it was much easier to investigate.
Su Zhenzhen sent someone to check on the two sick people and the dismissed old servant, but did not alarm the fifth aunt for the time being.
I don't know why, Su Zhenzhen always feels that these five aunts seem to be a little different.
After checking here, Su Zhenzhen found the warden again and planned to ask about the crazy jailer.
At the mention of the crazy jailer, the warden's face suddenly became ugly: "Your Excellency...... He's so crazy right now, I'm afraid he'll scare you, my lord! ”
"It's okay, where is he now, you can take me to see him!" Su Zhenzhen guessed that the man must be crazy, and she could guess from the deaths of Lord Tang and the other jailer that it was a fluke that this person could survive now.
Su Zhenzhen learned from the prison warden that the crazy jailer's surname was Li, 21 years old this year, and he was the fifth oldest in the family, known as Li Wu.
This Li Wu is usually a very dull and silent person, but since that night, he has been muttering indistinctly all day and night, and his appearance is also very terrifying, ordinary people can't understand what he says, and no one dares to come forward to listen carefully.
In the end, the prison warden had no choice but to temporarily lock him in a cell, and when they came to the door of the cell together, they heard a voice talking inside, and it was Li Wu talking to himself.
Su Zhenzhen asked the warden not to disturb him, and only leaned on the door to observe his behavior first.
If this Li Wu's state were seen by ordinary timid people, they would also be shocked, only to see that his hair was messy, his eyes were dull, and his face and head were covered with black ash at any time, and that state was even worse than that of a beggar begging outside.
Where can this person be seen that he is a young man about 20 years old, and he really looks like a homeless man who has been rejected by others.
Su Zhenzhen listened carefully to what he was muttering, but she couldn't hear it really, his eyes were full of horror when he spoke, and the terrifying expression on his face was even more terrifying than that of the dead Tang Taishou.
Li Wu's face was already gray, his eyes were bruised, and with a frightened and shrunken expression, just looking at him would make people think of ghosts.
“…… Lord Envoy, I'm afraid that this Li Wu is useless, as if he was scared by something unclean! The prison warden looked at Li Wu with fear and regret in his eyes.
"Open the cell door, I'm going to go in and see!" Su Zhenzhen said in a deep voice.
"Envoy, don't look at him like he is, if anyone comes near him, he'll look like a madman, are you sure you want to go in?" The prison warden looked at Su Zhenzhen, a little worried.
"It's okay, his voice is too low at this time for me to hear clearly, and I can only hear it when I open the door. Stay away, lest he hurt you!" ”
The prison warden saw that Su Zhenzhen insisted, although he was worried, he still did it, and he couldn't help but have some more praise in his eyes.
The Great Xia Dynasty advocated that women are virtuous if they are not talented, and women should stay at home and should not show their heads, especially some young ladies are even more delicate, and they can't wait to be hidden at home every day.
And although the woman in front of her is stunning and beautiful, not inferior to any young lady, she is very domineering, she is a special envoy who was sent in, and her style of action is even more breathtaking.
Although in this southern land, women are not as restrained as in the imperial capital Mucheng, but there are no women like Su Zhenzhen, and he can't see them at all.
Su Zhenzhen went into the prison and asked the warden to wait for her by the door.
She slowly walked in front of Li Wu, who was huddled in the corner, but Li Wu did not react to her arrival, as if he was still immersed in his own world, muttering in his mouth, his body trembled, but his eyes were staring straight ahead, as if there was something terrifying there.
"Li Wu!" Su Zhenzhen called out to him.
Li Wu slowly gathered his eyes on the woman in front of him, and Su Zhenzhen was wearing women's clothes at this time, with long jet-black hair and an orange dress, which made people look very comfortable and eye-catching.
But seeing that Li Wu's eyes were not like that, as soon as his gaze touched Su Zhenzhen, his eyes shrank a little, and he covered his eyes with his dirty hands: "Ghost...... Grimace is coming, don't touch me, I didn't hurt you! Please don't arrest me...... Woohoo......"
This Li Wuse shrunk into a ball, and his state at this time was almost crazy, and the whole person trembled like a dry leaf in autumn.
Su Zhenzhen could see that this kid was half of his soul, and a person without a soul could only become an idiot if he could live in this world, but the terrible things that this idiot had seen in front of him could not be erased in his mind.
In this way, Su Zhenzhen hopes to get some clues from him, and in his state of not being completely demented, he must quickly lead out what he has seen and heard.
"Grimace? What kind of grimace? Su Zhenzhen followed his words and led him.
"Several grimaces...... There are rich master books, Mr. Ling's, and Lin Tong's ......! Fifth Aunt Tai...... Please don't come near me...... I'm a good person, I didn't hurt you! Li Wu was still muttering frantically, and the horror in his eyes had reached the extreme.
Su Zhenzhen didn't want to stimulate him anymore, so she hurriedly walked out of the cell with the prison warden, and Li Wu behind her was still shouting fiercely, looking very hideous.
"What the hell is going on with those people that Li Wu said? Why did he say it was a grimace? There is also a fifth aunt too ...... Could it be that it was the fifth aunt who came to see Mrs. Tang in prison that night? Su Zhenzhen was suspicious in her heart and asked the prison warden.
This Taishou Mansion is really a big dye vat, and the things in it don't seem to be as simple as Su Zhenzhen thought before.
Su Zhenzhen was going to get up the next morning and go to meet this fifth aunt, and she stayed in the Taishou Mansion that night.
People are now panicking everywhere in this Taishou Mansion, and the maids, mothers-in-law, night servants, and guards gather in one place to whisper.
The housekeeper is a capable person, and he was afraid that Su Zhenzhen would be disturbed by living in another yard, so he arranged a quiet yard for her.
The courtyard is close to the gardens of Taishou Mansion and an underground hot spring, and Su Zhenzhen feels that the environment is very pleasant. After dinner, she couldn't sleep while lying on the bed, and she was bored because of Tang Taishou's affairs, so she walked outside.
At this time, the time was close to the hour, the night was very good, and the entire Taishou Mansion was also rare quiet.
Su Zhenzhen was still thinking about the strange things of the past two days in her mind, she was used to being bold, and she didn't feel afraid.
Most of the time the things that know ghosts and gods are also scary, and people's hearts will not be bothered by these strange things when they are open.
That being said, Su Zhenzhen walked and walked, about a few feet away from the hot spring, when she saw a shadowy white shadow appear on the shore of the hot spring.
The moonlight was hazy, and I couldn't tell whether it was a man or a woman, but I saw that he was dressed in white, and his long black hair was draped behind him, and some of it was spread on the stones on the shore.
The shadows of the flowers and plants in the garden swayed, and the only sound around me was the rustle of the leaves gently blown by the wind.
The hot spring is surrounded and set off by various flowers and trees, coupled with the white-clothed people bathing in the water, this picture really makes people feel indescribably mysterious.
If it weren't for Tang Taishou being scared to death, the jailer being scared crazy, and the ghost floating on the fifth aunt that Li Wu heard in the afternoon, Su Zhenzhen would not have felt that there was much horror in this dark night.
But thinking of those things, the picture in front of him had a somewhat different meaning, and even Su Zhenzhen, who had always been bold, felt that the air around her became tense for a moment.
"I'd like to see who the evil is!" Su Zhenzhen's eyes were deep.
At a time when the Taishou Mansion is so turbulent, there are still people who take this opportunity to pretend to be ghosts, and it will not be easy for her to catch it.
Su Zhenzhen took out her small waist knife and tiptoed to the back of the man, thinking that she would preemptively control this "demon" who didn't know whether it was a man or a woman.
Before her small waist knife could catch the man's neck, Su Zhenzhen only felt that her hand was loosened, and the small waist knife flew out in an instant.
And she herself lost her balance all of a sudden without knowing what was going on, and fell into the hot spring with a "plop".
Su Zhenzhen was still conscious for a moment when she first entered the water, but when she entered the water, she drank a few large sips of water.
She almost lost her breath, and she felt that her consciousness seemed to be getting more and more blurred, could she have drowned like this?
Thinking of this, Su Zhenzhen used her last bit of strength, and her hands and feet were desperately flapping in the water, but she felt that the more she fluttered, the more she sank.
Just when she felt that she might be about to die, she felt someone pull her up, and the man's lips suddenly fell on hers......
Su Zhenzhen eased up little by little, but the man didn't seem to think it was enough, and still put his lips against her lips to keep cheering for her.
Her eyes widened and she couldn't make out the man's face, but she was sure he was a man, and there was an aura that made her feel so familiar and heart-palpitating.
"Could it be ......" Su Zhenzhen's alarm bell sounded in her head, she finally made a vow on the first day to break off her love, did she meet Wei Han, the god of decay.
Su Zhenzhen broke free of the man's hand and wanted to rise to the surface of the water or swim ashore, but she forgot that she couldn't swim, and she was the one who was most afraid of water in both lives.
For a moment she began to flutter under the water again, she had been very close to the man, and although she shook him off, she had no strength for a long time, so she was still by the man's side.
The other party was wearing only a white robe, and she struggled and fluttered, and when she grabbed, kicked, and kicked, the white robe belt on the person's body loosened, and the whole robe was loosened, revealing the person's strong chest at once.
The spring water was crystal clear, and although the moonlight was hazy, she could see the person's fair skin clearly, and Su Zhenzhen had the urge to cover her eyes for a moment, but she didn't dare to look down.
