Chapter Ninety-One: The Dead Sink in the Well
The eldest uncle chuckled and did not speak, allowing the little girl to laugh and then turn away.
Lying on his side, looking at the embroidery on the bed curtain, the girl standing in front of him in a gorgeous dress suddenly popped up in his mind. The corners of his lips rose, and there was indifferent mockery in his eyes, and a little bit of carving around his bones oozed from his bones.
Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps, and Mama Ren stood in front of him with her "daughter-in-law" in her arms.
"Mama." The eldest uncle spoke, "What do you think of that girl?" ”
"Intelligent, bold, organized, and naturally excellent."
Mama Ren lowered her head and said lightly: "But if it's for you, it may not be the best." ”
The eldest uncle smiled, raised his eyes and looked at Mama Ren, who seemed to have stars hidden in her eyes, and only rubbed her chin for a while and said, "Mama said this, but I became interested." ”
Mama Ren didn't speak, just hugged the "daughter-in-law" and left, she has been up and down in the palace for many years, and she knows better than anyone the means of the queen mother's family. The indifference in their bones makes them destined to be unworthy of feelings, but if they are born, it must be a tragedy.
Wuguo was in the courtyard, looking at Mama Ren who came out, nodded and turned to leave.
When passing by the side hall, Wuguo thought about it, but turned around and decided to go to see Gu Lan, only to pass by the atrium, and suddenly saw an old mother shouting around for a while. Lone Blue squatted in the center, saw her coming, hurriedly ran over, and only threw herself into her arms in a moment of fright.
"What's wrong?"
Wuguo looked inside while comforting the person in his arms, only to see Gu Lan frightened for a long time without saying a word, a strong grandmother took a look and boldly stepped forward and pointed to the dry well not far away and said: "Fifth girl, yes, it is in that well, and there is the body of the third son of the Liu family in that well." ”
Wuguo twisted his eyebrows, comforted Gu Lan with a gesture, and pushed the person away and walked forward.
Gu Lan grabbed her, with tears in her eyes, she was frightened.
Listening to Mama, she found Liu San'er's body first. Wuguo symbolically gave an unhindered expression and walked over.
I saw a burst of blood red in the dry well, and Liu San'er's body was displayed in the well like that.
It's just that this well is covered with weeds on weekdays, and lazy people have never cleaned it, and in the early days, she had heard that Steward Song had ordered someone to fill in the useless well in the backyard to prevent the road from slippery in the dark and someone accidentally fell, but she suddenly took power, and the matter was delayed. If it weren't for the taste of time, it would not have been discovered.
There was a lot of discussion around him, Wuguo glanced at it, and then someone salvaged Liu San'er, no matter what, maybe he was complete.
Some grandmothers looked at it and shook their heads, "These three are also honest, why haven't they been so long gone." ”
"Yes, yes, although these three sons are a family child, they do everything diligently on weekdays, which is very pleasing, hey, it's not okay, it's quite uncomfortable."
Liu San'er's original name was Liu Mi, and he was born when he met Xiucai casually, and when Liu Mi was born, everyone sighed that he was named by Xiucai.
But helplessly, he is a family child.
Liu Misheng is handsome, and because his father still has a grade in the mansion, it is okay in this Zewang Mansion. The little maids in the house are one by one, and they are also very fond of this young man.
On weekdays, he is kind to others, and he will not offend people if he thinks about it, Wuguo looked at the corpse that was salvaged. A few days after she took over the Zewang Mansion, God left her a thing, I don't know if I thought that someone in this mansion deliberately wanted to give her a dismissal.
Steward Song wiped the sweat on his head on the side, Wuguo glanced at it and didn't speak, but the grandmother who was watching next to him thought of the order he had given before, and couldn't help but say something suspicious of Steward Song.
Steward Song was even more frightened when he heard this, looked at Wuguo and hurriedly pounced, hugged her thigh and said, "It's not me, it's not me, it's really not me, five girls." I was just worried that this dry well was slippery in the dark, so I had the heart to fill it, I really don't know anything. ”
Wuguo looked at his trembling strength and didn't say anything, just watched quietly.
A grandmother said: "This dry well has been in the atrium for many days, and I have seen someone clean it up, why did Steward Song suddenly think of filling it." ”
"That's right, and this well is covered with weeds on weekdays, so how can you say that you can slip into it. I think it's because San'er asked him for some wages a few days ago to make him dissatisfied, so he thought about killing someone. ”
Steward Song is greedy for money, this is a well-known thing in the house, he doesn't know how to treat many people badly on weekdays, Liu Mi has few words, and he has never said much about being greedy for wages, and a few days ago, he did suddenly ask Steward Song for a lot of wages.
Steward Song hugged her legs, and for a long time seemed to think of something, and suddenly said: "I heard the little maid in the house say that there are always ghosts and white shadows in the dry well in this atrium, so they let them fill it." I think they don't say much, and they think it's not good to say that the house is haunted, so they say that they are afraid of people slipping. ”
Wuguo turned his head, ordered Liu Mi's body to be cleaned up, and went down with Gu Lan, only to turn around and see the green lotus twisting the flower branches and walking over.
"What, did something big happen to these five slave girls just after they took charge?" As he spoke, Green Lotus pushed away the crowd: "Yo, this is still a dead person." I'll see who it is. ”
Green Lotus lowered his head and only glanced at it, and couldn't help but be frightened.
Falling into the arms of the little follower behind her, she pointed to the person on the ground, and asked inarticulate for a while: "This person, how did this person die?" ”
Wuguo looked at her reaction and couldn't help but turn her head, "Why, Sister Green Lotus knows this person." ”
Green Lotus was startled for a while, and quickly shook his head: "No, I don't know." ”
As he spoke, he pushed away the people around him and left, and the light pink skirt on his body also swayed in a strange posture with the owner.
Wuguo couldn't help but ponder, Green Lotus's heart was higher than the sky on weekdays, and no one cared about it on weekdays, so why did he suddenly have a strange reaction when he saw Liu Mi.
He looked back at the people on the ground again, frowning for a long time, not knowing what to say.
When she was a little farther away from the crowd, Gu Lan walked away from her and said tremblingly: "Liu San'er is in his arms, and there is a green purse of fabric in his arms." ”
Wuguo looked at her: "Are you sure?" ”
Gu Lan looked at her in fear, but still nodded.
Five-fruit hook lips, this is getting more and more interesting.
"Gu Lan, you will wait for a little guy to go to Jing Zhaoyin to report to the official."
Gu Lan looked at her suspiciously, but she also nodded, turned around and trotted away.
originally thought that there was no need to report to the officials if something happened to a slave, especially a child, not to mention that this is still a palace, and no one will have face when they say it. But Wuguo suddenly thought of what Luo Yang Yang said to her.
It seems that she can use this matter to let the government muddy the waters of this palace.
After all, the mudter the water, the easier it is for the fish to come out.
