"Second master, this is the servant booklet in the house. After a stick of incense, Liu Yang and Liu Tuan brought the servant booklet to the ancestral hall and presented it to Liu Zhixiao. Liu Song looked at Liu Yang, Liu Yang shook his head slightly, and Liu Song could only close his eyes and sigh lightly.

Liu Zhixiao opened the servant's book and looked at it carefully, and when he saw the page of "Daniel Zhang" in the list of guards who were marked as missing, he couldn't help but chuckle: "Look, isn't this a guard who has been marked missing?"

"Uncle Song," Liu Zhengqian has been slapped in the face today, eager to regain some face, "There is a palace guard missing, why don't you tell me?"

Liu Song replied to him respectfully: "The eldest young master has been working hard for the second girl's injury for the past two days, and the old slave thought that he would report this matter to you when the master was free, but he didn't expect that this missing palace guard would have something to do with the second girl." Liu Zhengqian seems to be steady but is actually impatient, where is Liu Zhixiao's opponent. No matter what Liu Zhengqian does, the face of the big house will be lost.

"Uncle Song is sympathetic to the eldest brother, and the eldest brother should not blame Uncle Song. Liu Zhixiao pointed out the page on the servant's book that recorded Daniel Zhang's information to Liu Zhengqian, and asked him with a smile: "Big brother, look at that corpse again, can it be like this Daniel Zhang?"

Liu Zhengqian looked at the vivid portrait of Daniel Zhang painted on the booklet, pretended to walk to the corpse outside the house to take a closer look, and then returned to the futon with sweat on his forehead and knelt in front of the futon with an embarrassed smile: "If I really forgot." The next moment, he raised his eyebrows, looking like he was on fire, "This kid should be damned, he dares to do something to the master in the house!"

Outside the house, seeing that Daniel Zhang's identity had been revealed, Qi Qin and Zhen Cha looked at each other and smiled quietly. Now it's good, as long as Daniel Zhang's identity is found out, the following things will naturally go according to the plan of Liu Zhilan and the snake yin fang. It's a shame that Liu Zhixiao has helped today, otherwise just by virtue of their current status, it would take a lot of effort to force Liu Zhengqian to investigate this matter.

In the house, Liu Zhixiao was disgusted with Liu Zhengqian's play, and there was no good look on his face, "Big brother, the second niece has only returned to Liu Mansion for a month and has been bedridden, where will she form a deep hatred with a small Fu Wei? It is better to send some Fu Wei to search Daniel Zhang's residence, maybe you can find something." ”

In January, the only people who had the deepest grudge with Liu Zhilan were Ming Yuelan and Liu Hanxue's mother and daughter. However, the matter of these two people framing Liu Zhilan had just ended, so how could they send people to murder Liu Zhilan at this juncture? Liu Zhengqian sent several government guards to search Daniel Zhang's residence, and his face became more and more suspicious.

What Liu Zhengqian can think of, Liu Zhixiao can naturally think of, but it's just ...... Liu Zhixiao's jade face gradually climbed into a thin layer of frost, where is this matter as simple as Liu Zhengqian thought?

Thinking back to the present, Liu Zhixiao stared at Ming Yuelan on the ground, and he didn't know what he was suppressing in his deep voice, "Ming Xiaoniang, this letter was searched from the guard, how familiar is it to look at it?"

Ming Yuelan looked down at the letter on the ground, her face full of doubts. She glanced at Liu Zhixiao, and when she saw the other party glaring at her viciously, she was so frightened that she hurriedly picked up the letter from the ground. She shook her hand and opened the envelope, but the letter in her heart fell to the ground without holding it steadily, so she had to reach out to pick it up again.

"This, this letter!" Ming Yuelan unfolded the letter and looked at it carefully, and the more she looked back, the whiter her face became. In the end, her face was red and white, and she threw the letter to the side, knelt on the ground and said angrily to Liu Zhengqian: "Master, this letter was not written by the concubine at all, someone deliberately forged it to frame the concubine!"

"It's clearly your handwriting, why do you want to fake it!" Liu Zhengqian got up from the futon "rubbing", stood on the spot and pointed at Ming Yuelan and scolded: "You framed Lan'er a few days ago, and yesterday you were still crying in front of Lao Tzu and saying that you knew you were wrong! I can't imagine that Lao Tzu has just lifted your grounding, and you cheap woman have done such a hurtful thing! You actually dare to buy the people under Lao Tzu to be swordsmen, do you think that Lao Tzu is embarrassed and not clean enough in this imperial capital!"

Liu Zhengqian was furious and directly took the practice of training soldiers in the army. Hearing the vulgar words that he hadn't heard in the past few years, Liu Zhixiao was slightly uncomfortable, but he didn't have any thoughts of looking down on him, after all, he was also born in this family of military generals.

"Master Mingjian!" Ming Yuelan had never seen Liu Zhengqian so angry, so the half-frightened and half-aggrieved crying pear blossom brought rain, and shouted hoarsely: "The second girl happened the night before the third day, when the concubine had just been grounded, where is it possible to bribe the palace guard to assassinate the second girl! And the concubine assassinated the second girl at this time, isn't it plain to arouse suspicion?"

"You can't get out, but your maidservant can get out of the yard." Liu Zhixiao said coldly: "I just heard that the eldest brother said that you admitted your mistake in front of him yesterday, but the eldest brother was still worried about the affairs of the second niece yesterday, how can I have time to see you? I think you sent the maid next to you to invite my eldest brother to your yard." In this way, it is not impossible for you to send one of your men to deliver a letter to some money-hungry guard. ”

"And the second niece happened to have an accident after having a dispute with you, everyone will only think that you will not do such a suspicious pickled thing at this time, plus you have just been grounded and can't contact outsiders at all, so even if people suspect you in this matter, they will not take you as the real culprit. Ming Xiaoniang, if you don't enter the tiger's den, you can get the tiger, you can be said to have exhausted the mechanism for this risky move!" Liu Zhixiao bent down to pick up the letter on the ground, shook the dust on the letter, picked out one of the paragraphs and read it: "After the matter is completed, you can get five taels of gold, I will arrange for you to leave the house and go away, and you will not be allowed to appear in the imperial capital again." ”

"Ming Xiaoniang, five taels of gold, you have a concubine who is really generous, you can almost buy the life of your second niece!" Liu Zhixiao threw the letter on Ming Yuelan's face, "The people in the imperial capital say that my second niece went out to buy things and spent a little money and was injured by my eldest brother, I think the gold and silver in this house were swallowed by you and did something unseemly!"

"Uncle Hugh is going to slander him!" Ming Yuelan saw that Liu Zhengqian's expression was a little strange, so she had the courage to confront Liu Zhixiao and said: "The second girl spent two hundred and sixty taels of gold on that day, where is this a small amount of money! Besides, I didn't spend money to buy the murderer at all, what is the purpose of the uncle to splash this dirty water on me?"

"Hmph, what kind of thing are you, you dare to criticize the master of the mansion!" Liu Zhixiao said contemptuously as an ant. Liu Zhilan has a noble status as the daughter of Liufu, and her food and clothing can't be compared with ordinary people. Ming Yuelan's little aunt is a slave to put it bluntly, and she is talking about Liu Zhilan behind her back like this! Feeling that the topic is about to deviate, Liu Zhixiao broke the topic back, "Even the eldest brother said that the handwriting on this letter is yours, and you dare to say that I slandered you!"

"This handwriting is mine, but this letter is not mine, someone imitates my handwriting!" Ming Yuelan shouted angrily, her voice a little hoarse, "And this letter came out as soon as it was searched, and it was clearly put for people to see! If I really want to take the life of the second girl, how can I keep this letter exist?"

"There are a lot of things to do to unload the mill and kill the donkey, I'm afraid this letter is a bargaining chip for Nafu Wei to blackmail you into paying according to the contract to save your life afterwards!" Liu Zhixiao said, but he had been observing Ming Yuelan's reaction. It's strange, Ming Yuelan is so confident, it doesn't look like a bluff, isn't this letter really written by her?

Liu Zhixiao pretended to look up inadvertently and looked out of the house, outside the house, Qi Qinzhen Tea Book was kneeling in front of the palace guards, and his lowered head couldn't see his expression clearly. He retracted his eyes, what was he thinking, Liu Zhilan almost died, how could this matter be Liu Zhilan's handiwork, and how could she have the ability to do this? It must be that Ming Yuelan is used to acting, and even he has to be deceived.

"You said that someone imitated you, so tell me, who is trying to harm you?" Liu Zhixiao asked.

"Perhaps, maybe it's the second girl?" Ming Yuelan gritted her teeth and said, "The only one in the house who has an enmity with me is the second girl!"

Hearing his master say this, the finches and clouds around Ming Yuelan were all frightened. Ming Yuelan said such brainless words, isn't this forcing herself to death!

"It's really unbelievable!" Liu Zhixiao resisted the urge to raise her hand to slap Ming Yuelan, and her voice trembled a few times in anger, "The second niece has only been back for a month, not to mention whether she has seen your handwriting, how can she learn your handwriting in a month? Besides, the second niece is the concubine of Liufu, and it is only a matter of a few words to deal with you as a concubine, where is the use of putting her life on the line!"

Liu Zhixiao turned to Liu Zhengqian and said in a deep voice: "Big brother, look at it, this is the little lady you have spoiled for more than ten years! Today in this ancestral hall, she is quibbling in every way, big brother, what do you say to do with her?"

Seeing that she couldn't argue with Liu Zhixiao, Ming Yuelan could only keep kowtowing on the ground, and the clouds and mist behind her also kowtowed with her, "Master, this thing is really not done by a concubine, please see it! Ask the master to see it...... "The ground in the ancestral hall was covered with dust, Ming Yuelan didn't knock it much, and the dust on her forehead followed the small wind brought by her movements and the tears condensed on her cheeks, and at first glance she looked gray and dirty like a rat crossing the street.

Liu Zhengqian stared at Ming Yuelan who had been kowtowing and crying, Rao was unhappy at the moment, but staring at Ming Yuelan's crying face, I don't know why he scolded so vigorously just now, but now he can't say a word. Seeing that he was silent, Liu Zhixiao's face became more and more heavy, and finally became iron-blue, "Didn't the eldest brother just let her go?"

"What you said today is all speculation, what if someone really frames you? Liu Zhengqian pondered for a moment and said, how obvious the meaning of favoritism was.

Hearing this, Liu Zhixiao trembled and pointed at Liu Zhengqian, his sword eyebrows were upside down, and his jade-like white face turned the color of pig's liver. He opened his mouth to say something, but finally walked away angrily. I had known that this would be the case, his eldest brother had always been like this! What is the use of more human and material evidence, as long as this matter was done by Ming Yuelan, Liu Zhengqian would never pursue it!

"Second young master!" Looking at the rapidly disappearing green back, Liu Song's crutches stomped hard, and he hated Liu Zhengqian: "Big young master!" What is so good about this Ming Yuelan, which time Liu Zhengqian lost the bottom line for her!

"Uncle Song!" Liu Zheng said sharply: "If you really want to be punished, you don't have to rush at this time! Why can't you wait for Lan'er to wake up!"

Seeing that Liu Zhengqian was protecting herself, Ming Yuelan no longer kowtowed, and the eyes reflected by the tears remaining in her eye sockets flowed softly. She knew that no matter what, even if Liu Zhengqian didn't like her before, she would still be reluctant to give her up in the end!

"Oh no! Not good!" Just as the people in the ancestral hall were arguing, a small guy ran in from outside and gasped and shouted: "The third girl and the concubine have fought in the guest courtyard!"
